That is a pretty good tutorial, although if you take a close look at the legs, the author's example has no triangles:

Not only will triangles subdivide oddly, they also cannot flex when you do not subdivide; so in any area where you will have bending going on, e.g. around the knee, they will very likely cause you trouble.
