Body by Science Workouts??

Anyone want to give me a breakdown of the idea behind it?
Isn't it just a few minutes of lifting a day?
Have the results been effective?

Its actually only a few minutes per week (1 day per week). To start, you will do the Big 5 (seated row, chest press, lat pulldown, shoulder press, leg press). Each exercise is done for only one set and you do not count reps. Instead your goal is to move a heavy weight as slowly as possible while remaining smooth and in good form. You count the "time-under-load" and most males need to reach at least 45 seconds before failing. Once you progress to closer to 90 seconds, its time to increase the weight. (I have found that females should shoot for 60 to 120 seconds as they have less muscle and generally have a harder time maintaining form for that long).
It is an amazing workout, and it changed my life completely. I used to do cardio and weight training for 6 hours a week, and I had not lost any fat in years (except for when I did Insanity). Since starting BBS, I am much stronger and have less fat. It sounds crazy, but those 12-15 minutes are intense and you will be feeling it for days. Do yourself a favor, buy the book, and give it a try for a month (thats only 4 workouts). THe author has videos of the training on youtube so you can get the gist of the speed and rhythm of the lifts.

Did you do any weight lifting before body by science?
I'm just missing too many workouts with my current 4 day routine.
Would love to try it

I was lifting 3x/week and runnin/bootcamps 3x week. This workout is more effective for gaining strength and losing fat. The book explains the science behind it and 90% of it is backed up by published studies. The other 10% are anecdotal or results from the authors, so with the 90% backed up information, it is very convincing. Furthermore, every single person I have convinced to try it has had great results and switched to BBS.

No, no, no!
The only way to lose fat and build insurmountable amounts of muscle is to work hard at it.
The reason you aren't getting results is because you're either halfassing your workout or half assing your diet.

eat a bag of dicks if you don't have any evidence to back up your claims. This topic is specifically about Body By Science, not about bro-science.

So efficiency means nothing and you should ignore the science behind lifting?

Work on your reading comprehension skills. I went over 2 years without missing a single workout. My results have been great and I eat healthy.
Thanks for adding that top notch knowledge though. Eating healthy and moving makes you lose weight? Who knew.
By your logic, one should just stick to long distance cardio over HIIT training

No offense, White Goodman, but you're a god damn walking infomercial.

I promise that you won't regret giving it a try. The book is great, too, for giving suggestions for what to do when you eventually plateau or if you are limited in the equipment to which you have access.

Right, because a once a week work out is going to be better building muscle than the Arnold blueprint.
Chances are if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Yes. Arnold is a genetic freak. His workout will not work for 99.9999999999% of the population. His muscles will repair quicker, grow faster, and be stronger/unit than yours and 0.00000000001% of the human population.
ETA: this actually is a big point in the BBS book, so thanks for walking right into that one.

Ok? I never claimed that. From my understanding, it isn't just once a week. The time off varies based off recovery.
I do not expect it to equal my 4 day a week routine of 45-70 minute workouts. I don't need to lift like I have been anymore. I'm strong enough and would rather spend the time with my wife and friends.

Hence the questions.
If I can save a few hours before or after work, I can take the lower gains

Yes, Arnold was a genetic freak. I won't argue with you there.
But his blueprint still works wonders for the common layman. Based on genetics, you may not be a world class bodybuilder, but you can certainly get more gains than you ever thought you could.
I understand there are different goals for different people when working out. If you want to be overall healthy and fit, I would argue crossfit is the way to do that. Body by science, well, hasn't really proven itself yet.

What does this even mean?
Doesn't it center around HIIT training? That has been proven effective
It should be incredibly easy to prove/disprove it.
Yet shouldn't really be a factor

so you only workout once a week? And do nothing the rest of the week but eat right?

I think that is the general idea behind it.
I haven't read the book though
Posted on 4/9/14 at 12:58 pm to TigerBait1127
damn that definitely sounds too good to be true.
i dont know anything about it so dont everyone jump down my throat, just say thats what it seems like.

I would argue the complete opposite. Cross fit is a sport which people have adapted to be a workout. Training like that increases your risk for injury which directly amd negatively affects health. To be healthy, one should maximize muscle while having a healthy amount of fat and reducing possible injuries. BBS is ideal for this workout.
If you want to argue against BBS, read the book and then make educated points.
