We start with basic movements, and get more sophisticated over time, because we want to train the muscle through the whole range of motion. You don't just want to be strong in one position. –Bjorn Woltermann
You sweat when you work out because it's an exogenic reaction and your body needs to replenish the nutrients. You're actually burning calories because you need to build new ATP, which is like an endogenic reaction. –Bjorn Woltermann
When it comes to health, the scale is not truly your friend because when you lose weight and go on heavy diets, you're losing muscle mass, which is what you actually want to retain. –Bjorn Woltermann
