PHA training

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Topic does not satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. This is a bodybuilding training theory that can be summarized in 5 words (much like 5x5 or 10 sets of 10 programs). Quar te  t  05:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 *  Procedural Keep - AfD (much less PROD, which I removed before) is not for proposing merges. -- Cycl o pia talk  10:47, 5 November 2009 (UTC) -Also: several Google books hits seem to indicate notability. -- Cycl o pia  talk  12:40, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: The nom has removed the merge proposal I was referring to above (see diff) -- Cycl o pia talk  15:18, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

"British fitness guru Matt Roberts has used the PHA (peripheral heart action) training system with clients who want to lose weight and reduce body fat, and they've experienced rapid results. You can benefit from his training regime in his book 'The PHA Workout'. PHA stands for peripheral heart action. It's a way of exercising that uses resistance training with weights in a way that makes your heart pump faster, like aerobic exercise."
 * Delete per nom. Not notable enough for a standalone article. --Yankees76 (talk) 14:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Added sources, first one has a very brief mention of the work-out routine:
 * Second one is 2507 words and half of them deal with the work out and what it comprises of. Hope that helps! PanydThe muffin is not subtle 18:00, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I formatted them a bit but I'm unsure about them -it seems both share the same URL and at least one of these requires payment. Could you fix that? thanks! -- Cycl o pia talk  19:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * A better ref is for example this chapter, perhaps? -- Cycl o pia talk  19:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - there seems to be just enough coverage to be notable (per above, Google books hits). Coverage also exists in a number of small articles, such as this one. Cheers,    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 21:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep This topic passes WP:GNG. See this Google Books link provided by . I also found this Google Books link. Coverage in at least two books (there is more coverage in Google News Archive) means that PHA training is notable. Cunard (talk) 08:19, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
