Interesting. I won't get into the theories espoused there but as for the bit about training for performance I agree.

I've come around to training for performance rather than aesthetics, both for myself (bye-bye to most isolation work years ago) and clients (trying to strike a balance). Even if one's goal is to look better then if you are getting stronger/better conditioned + eating clean then I've yet to see a person that doesn't look and feel better.
