I don't recall how they rec'd cardio on BFL, but I do remember their training sets very well: 2 exercises per muscle group and then 12-10-8-6-12 for the 1st and another one on 12.
In a similar fashion, I had no idea I was over-reaching when I did something to the tune of 10-8-6-6 - 20+ reps. That weight I used for those high reps was a weight I'd normally only be able to lift 12-15 times. By doing a low-rep heavy wt first, you can get crazy strong for a somewhat lighter wt. This however is about as taxing on the CNS as doing complexes. Yet, ît doesn't feel so intensive at all. Until then , sleep got disrupted and I felt tired and weak in the gym all of a sudden. Then a light bulb went off and I gave myself permission to dig in & pig out... felt great once again a few days later.
