nice work. passing it along to wife and daughter who started the fad method.
question: I do you 6PA routine (more or less :). I’m 67 but very healthy.
How long should I rest between a given exercise? Is doing e.g. deadlifts once per week enough rest? too much? TY

@K. A variation you could try would be one set of squats followed by 1 set of leg extensions to isolate the quads without working the butt. Again, use the 8-12 rep range for the leg extensions, seeking to hit 12 reps then increasing the weight when you do.

This looks awesome.. gonna program this into the app and see what happens… any tips on making the booty grow less and the legs more? Don’t do any cardio save for all the walking I do at work…

Thanks Mark for taking on common fads. The only positive I’ve seen about these fad challenges is it’s get the person off the couch. The most common reason for these is the person simply doesn’t want to goto a gym (self conscious) so they find these routines to do at home.

Love this! I hate when my friends on facebook post that nonsense…and if there was an UNLIKE button I would have pressed it. But now..I can gladly join in the 30 day squat challenge. I am going to share this!

Agreed 100%… this is good bait for those who are likely completely sedentary trying to get active again. That said, if they do just want aerobic activity and to get moving, it might help with that. But making real gains beyond that, no dice.
