"The IWT format helps develop power-endurance characteristics useful for endurance and medium-endurance activities because the lifting is done under the possible conditions (coming off the rest period), and we can adjust the duration of the free aerobic exercise intervals to target the energy system we choose. If you look through some of the IWT variations you will see we used mostly 2-min work intervals (accumulating a total of 12 minutes @ 90-95% MHR during a single workout). We also target pure power (explosive and CV power) by lifting heavier loads for fewer reps chase with 60-90 second "sprint" efforts during the aerobic exercise period and followed by a longer rests. The short answer is: if circuits/progressions are designed and used indiscriminately the transferability is general and limited. If the circuits/progressions are designed to produce a specific outcome the transferability can be quite good, and valuable." -Gym Jones-

*Very good IWT this morning, although I'm not a morning person but today I wanted to workout with my client Steve. First time trying the Airdyne on the IWT, simply brutal the Rowing felt easy in comparison, this is a great way to start my 32nd birthday.
