For advanced trainers, this method could also be implemented in two-a-day training sessions - light session in the morning and heavy session at night. The "anti-catabolic" training session could be done fasted, with lighter weight, to emphasis lipolysis and the heavy session on a full stomach and when testosterone to cortisol ratio is ideal (in men)

for people short on time, but i really want to kick up my training, can i do bodyweight stuff like clap push ups and explosive pull ups etc in the morning then after work go to the heavy stuff? would that work the same?

THis seems like it would only be prodcutive for power sport though as muscle damage is key to hypertrophy

I've done light resistance training in the AM and heavy weights at night.
Give it a try and see how it works for you. I imagine bodyweight, if the reps and form are done appropriately, could be equivalent to light resistance exercises on machines.
Fasted training like that burns a lot of fat, too.

As long as this type of training is supplemental to the heavier work, it could still be useful to anyone looking to make big changes in a short period of time. For me personally, frequency of workouts is key. The more frequent I train a body part, the more it grows, assuming the calories and protein is there.
