I haven't, , though I'll probably incorporate it at some point this

year. It's not a top priority right now, since I've just started integrating

kettlebells into my workout, and since I don't have money to buy _The Naked

Warrior_. I've noticed what you call " muscle economy " from weight lifting--

doors

are easier to open, etc.

I think it could also really help in the weights you lift over time hey

I don't have that book either but I took some ideas from that maxalding site

that had the books pages free to dload for what looked to be the same type

of training.

There is an athlete here ( 400m hurdler ) who might miss the Olympics

because she was " bulking up "

With a similar weights program you are doing but because she did not also

focus on the stabilizing/core the pulled her hip out then tore a bunch for

muscles due to that.

Since hurting myself ive accumulated a tonne of info and touch wood all

these things not only make me very strong with dedication but also thwart

any further injuries from occurring down the track
