for me HIIT is hands down the favorite. doesn't take a ton of time to do and results are quick in coming. only problem is, IT SUCKS!! sprints are not fun at all, but it's worth it

I know your feelings on the cottage cheese Boss Man, and i value your opinion, and the opinion of everyone else here. however, cottage cheese is convenient for me and has worked well for me in the past, so i think i will stick with it. I don't mean any disrespect by this, and i apoligize if i have c...
