We know that weight loss may not be a goal for all of you, but regardless, this article is a super-clear and concise explanation of why strength-training is superior to traditional "cardio" for people who are looking to alter their body composition.
It's no secret that we consider strength the "king" of all of the elements that make up overall athleticism and fitness. A bunch of the articles we've collected for you here (see right) help explain. We hope that you'll read enough to understand *why* we always start sessions with some heavy lifting.
P.S. A couple summers ago, we had the opportunity to be coached ourselves, and one of the coolest things our coach said was this: "If you think lifting weights is scary, try being weak. That's really scary." -Coach Tod Moore, Atomic Athlete (Austin, Texas)
