Any tips on how to decrease body fat percentage and increase muscle mass at the same time?

High intensity interval training is a great way to decrease body fat percentage and increase muscle mass. It involves doing sets of resistance training or activity that gets your heart rate up beyond your anaerobic threshold, then allowing for full recovery between sets. This allows for reconstitution of fuels and burning of fat during the recovery period.

What are your opinions on “knees over toes” guy?

One thing I'd like two-time Over Tokai to address is the relationship of the pelvis to the knee relative to the toe when squatting.
