When I try to deprogram, I mean talk to (lol) clients to explain some of my issues with the high volume steady state cardio approach that seems to be the default fat-loss strategy in both competitive and general fat-loss circles, I often try to explain the issue by contrasting efficiency and inefficiency and what we as physique-conscious people want to be.

Now anyone who has known me for a long time knows that I have NEVER subscribed to this philosophy and I've been in this industry for over 10 years; the one that says when fat loss stalls or you hit a plateau, you simply add more cardio.
