I got a six month sub of M&F as a freebie, too, and my comment was "It's COSMOPOLITAN for meatheads."
I like the recipe section, but that's about all I can take away from it.
Yes, you should still do your "harder than suggested" stuff. They're unwittingly admitting that most lifters have shitty core strength and need to work on that (as well as their balance). There's nothing to be gained by scaling them back, because iso holds are a big part of how you use your core for dance anyway - "functional strength"
They don't say anything about weights entirely too often, which makes this stuff the next thing to useless (okay, I'm doing 8-10 reps, but is that of my 12RM or my 20RM?).
If a practitioner is hitting the main lifts hard enough and they're pressed for time, the barbell curls and dumbbell incline presses can be dropped without a second thought. I'd even go so far as to say that the RDLs could be dropped from the last bit and probably replaced with more pullups.
