Default Re: Is this a decent workout routine?

There are actually some really cool things about this routine (The TNT).

It appears to be based on modern Starr/HST philosophy. The rep progression is just like HST.

They have also done many of the same substitutions that I've done for movements that are easier on the joints, which is an important thing for couch potatos trying to get in shape. For example they've got front squats and goblet squats instead of regular squats, they've got the neutral grip shoulder press instead of military presses, these are all very good substitutions. It seems like they actually have some doctors working on the material.

I would say the only really bad thing about it is the typical Men's Health flaw which is that it's just crazy overcomplicated. There are too many different moves and no way you can really learn them all and have good form.
