Fantastic article. I posted in Ripps forum last week on exactly this topic. He moved it to repetitive inquiries even though I still think the question is valid. The amount of info that gets thrown at an intermediate is overwhelming, and the desire to just grab a program to get out is alluring. Sorting through the information and understanding what components need to be added to match an individuals goals needs to be weighed. I have set goals and I have a program that seems to work, but some of it seems arbitrary when you look at them at the same time. Thank you.
