Is it me, or are the workouts intentionally short & low intesity? Even for short workouts, I'm used to working at a much higher intensity to the extent that as well as relatively heavy weights, I tend to do 3-4 sets of 8 reps, many of which are supersets, I get a significantly increased heart-rate and develop a fair sweat. With TSPA workout, whilst I put maximum effort into each set until failure, I find the 2-4min recovery time (exercise dependant) to be quite long, and I don't feel like I've really "worked out", other than a very gentle muscle ache after.
Is this previous heart-rate increase and sweat due to engaging the bodies aerobic systems or something, and therefore, if the anaerobic systems are engaged as per the book, then I shouldn't actually work up a sweat or massively increased HR?
Just concerned that perhaps I've missed something, or maybe should be doing each workout twice, or something....
Also, seem to be losing quite a lot of weight immediately due to the diet. 4lb in the first 2 days, although I have a fair bit to strip off.
Being an 18st 12ib & 6'5" rugby player, I am carrying rather a lot of body fat, albeit able to carry it off without looking obese.
Fortunately, TSPA calculator tells me at 16st 4lb I'll be down to 10% body fat, which would be good. Add to that a bit of muscle gain in weight terms, and a fighting 17st 7lb is a realistic ripped target.
