They say that longer is not necessarily better. The study show no increase in muscle fiber used after three minutes and again two minutes being optimum. The exception is of course if the goal more cardio focused than strength focused. In that case no more that one minute. I hope this helps. -------------- Only two defending forces have ever offered to die for You. Jesus Christ and the American Soldier. Both died for your Freedom!
