Your efforts are paying off, and you're very welcome. Glad to know I had some positive influence.

I could never stick to any such 'minimum effective dose' plan. I usually tell myself "oh, just a half hour at the gym Zen. Just knock out some HIIT sprints and a set of deadlifts and you're done." And then I go and I'm in the gym for 2 hours. I can't help it; I see an available squat rack and next thing I know I'm gathering plates. I'm a freak, I know.

But for normal people (or non-freaks at least), having an effective workout that doesn't seem overbearing and doesn't stress their time and (most importantly) produces results is a really good thing to have.
