(Points from Jeff)

• A good starting point of 60-40 split between weight training and conditioning (i.e. cardio) is good, say 5 days total. Keep total workout time less than an hour.
• Most important question related to deciding which split to choose is whether you can stick to it.
• Ideally cardiovascular training should be at the end of the workout to not compromise the intensity of the weight training.
• When sleeping, let the feet move by not fixing the blankets.
• Stretching:
  • Roughly there are 2 types, active and passive. Passive stretching aims to improve the flexibility, and done at a time far away from workout. Active (he later calls it dynamic?) stretching is done to increase the readiness of the muscle for a workout, and dont prior to training.
• Jumprope (see video here) is one of the best things one can do for conditioning. Learning how to land is a very important skill you can learn from skipping rope.
• Importance of face rows, as internal rotations faw outweight external rotations.
• Video on fixing lower back pain.
• When holding a bar, if the grip closer to the edge of the fingers, the muscles are not equipped to handle the resulting loads.
• Plate method for eating: Look at the plate like a clock, divide the 60 mins into 25:20:15 split for carbs&fibres, proteins and starchy carbohydrates respectively.
