His goal is to make us stronger and more confident with what our bodies can do. Only then does he throw us into an extreme fat-targeting workout (3x15-25! w/ 30s rest!), when we're stronger and can 1) make it through the whole workout and 2) lift weights that make the workout worth our while.

Some people were talking about this in another thread (don't remember which), and it completely makes sense. And I agree.
And, look at how many women (including myself) have found a lot of confidence in themselves as a result. For me, I've found a lot of pride in being able to do things I never would have guessed I could do. I would have laughed at someone if they'd told me 6 months ago that I'd be able to pick up something that weighs over 110 pounds, just standing there and picking it up. And we still have several more months in the program!
