Re: workout intensity?

Can we stop using intensity as some sort of catch all for "trying really hard"? It makes me want to gouge my eyes out with rusty nails.

ActionJeff,

You're reading the SuperSystem of BB books. 1983 wants it ideas back.

It seems to me that "intensity" is used with different senses -- the connotation different if the context is HIIT or % of 1RM (to give two examples).

I just find people using it as an explanation for the "I don't feel like a work hard enough" thing totally unacceptable. Or that like straining makes your results better. Or some sort of weird bastardization of failure.
