Document Summary

Weight loss as the holy grail of the fitness industry. The ideal physique is different for each individual. Losing weight is non-specific and is not a smart goal. Accurately measuring whether you have achieved goals is very difficult and expensive. Develop strength by improving neuromuscular efficiency and increasing muscle size.
