1) If the prescribed training time is 20 minutes "optimal" I wonder why people are setting a benchmark of 80 sets (40 Minutes).
2) given all the back and forth about the instensities needed for increasing VO2Max, Im curious how many who routinely do this training closely monitor those intensities.
3) this is interval training. Nothing new in the concept there. It is no doubt hard work, but continued for #2 is there really a way to impliment this as VO2 increase training outside a lab where you have the necessary equipment monitor all gas exchanges, HR, etc??
4) Wonder for the general KBer in their garage... if any increase in VO2 max isnt simply from weightloss? I see many posts about 40 Minutes with a 24kg etc. Not bad if so, just not as scientificaly(sp) sexy.

Only 20 Minutes 3 times a week....That sounds so familiar..oh yeah, Bowflex, Total Gym, Butt-O-Matic
