Ignorant

It really grinds my gears when I'm talking about training and how to properly approach starting, and someone says that they need to do some type of running or other form of "cardio" before starting strength training. Their ignorance about fitness astounds me, there are 10 components of fitness and a properly planned weight training program improves all 10. However pounding the pavement or putting the useless miles on an elliptical or bike will build very little fitness. It does not matter if the person is very over weight or very skinny, the foundation is always built on strength.

Training:
Press 5x5
Rest 5-10 minutes
10 dumbbell snatches, each arm (45lbs, 30 lbs)
15 box jumps
3 rounds for time
