even if the reference sucks because ks is a huuuuuge mr sexii (I am actually spelling it out although "fgt" is much shorter and easier) (haven't watched the vid), i support the idea of doing more complex excercises over only machines simply because you use more energy and muscles
per excercise than with all those isolated machines. machines are not bad at all, but you should try a plan where you do some "grundübungen" and complete the workout with machines if necessary not the other way around.
pro's of more complex excercises:
you need to use more muscles to stabilize the primarily working muscles and therefore burn more energy/train your whole body more efficiently than by working on some isolated machine where u only use 1 or 2 muscles at a time.
f.e. when doing squats u need ur calves, stomach, back and primarily the legs - basically the whole body and it's only 1 excercise.
so this means when your workout consists out of 3-5 such whole body excercises you put a much bigger strain on your body than by doing 3-5 isolated excercises.
since the main goal is to lose fat (which means you build up a calory deficit per day (burn more than you gib ur body)) and build up some muscles, there is no better way than to train your whole body 2 or 3 times a week (depending on your physical capabilities) by doing complex excercises.
simply put: for the effort you put in while u're in the gym, complex excercises give you the most gains and burn the most calories. it is the most efficient.
we can talk about more details on ts if you're interested and i can look for a beginner plan for you.
ps: don't care about the mr sexii (I am actually spelling it out although "fgt" is much shorter and easier)'s in the gym looking at you...you are in the gym to work on yourself, for yourself, by yourself.
couldnt have wrote it better. was too lazy to do it anyway
