Taken out of context Ski. I also said food. And if you do heavy weight, you can't lift alot of weight if you eat a little less. Unless you've been eating alot of food as usual, cutting back a little ain't gonna matter much on training but cutting calories intake.

All come down to intake vs burn.

Yep, that's what I stated up above.

You have to be careful on what you do state in alone context though (especially to novices), I'd hate to see people lifting light weights in order to lose weight well in short they lose "weight" but in the bigger realm of things they also don't build muscle and end up basically shrinking themselves. I'm not talking about building giganto muscles either, I'm sure everyone in the long run wants to end of up tone and fit and not the Hollywood bag of bones.

Have been amping up my workouts since the beginning of January by incorporating running/jogging for 30 to 40 minutes 4 to 5 days a week, and at least 4 days a week at the gym (and just started being consistent with some weight training as well while at the gym). Haven't seen results scale wise but have been seeing slow results body wise. Currently looking into personal training options as well.

Hoping by the end of 2012 I'll have the semblance of the body I want (and that I've been working on over the past 2 years now). *crosses fingers*

Hey Skiman any advice on what kind of weight lifting helps a person lose weight. Is it HEAVY weight lifting of of less reps or LIGHTER weight lifting with more reps. I thought that lifting HEAVY weights builds muscle and muscle burns the fat. Correct or am I wrong about that. Thanks. Mike

 

[Skiman]

Hey Endo, I wouldn't say the amount is the main focus but always try a challenging weight, you are correct in the more muscle you have the faster the rate is of burning fat.

The best way to train is optimally basically, keep all rest periods short. Lift with control and at a moderate rep rate and you should be fine. You definitely want to lift at a moderate weight to keep muscle tone though (especially while dieting), the most important element in short is diet.

The more the diet is in the check, the faster the results and the better results will be as well.

Thanks for the reply. Which is more effective for weight loss. WEIGHT TRAINING or TREADMILL? Should I be doing TREADMILL anyway EVERYDAY along with weight training? I wonder which actually burns better calories...WEIGHT TRAINING or TREADMILL. Thanks

John Cena dead-lifting almost 700 lbs. Very impressive.

 

[Mr. Green]

Another glorious workout. Increased the weight on my abs training cause it is taking longer to get any feeling out of em. Kept the rest on the same level. I wonder how long I am going to keep this up.

 

[The Ringer]

I like Cena but he has to be juicing.

 

[Skiman]

I like Cena as well, my build closely resembles him the most. I'm getting there, I can't remember the last time I deadlifted for 1 rep max but it was around the 625+something mark.

That's scurry... too scared to have my back just go ballistic.

I normally just stick to repping on my deadlifts.

@ The Ringer, I'm on chicken and pizza!!!

This kind of depends on your goals, the more calories burnt will result in more weight loss but it just depends on what type of weight loss you are after.

Cena is impressive at the gym. At Gold's Gym lots of WWE wrestlers stop by when in town and Cena is one of the few that goes super heavy and balls to the walls each and every time I see him. The guy is intense.

 

[Skiman]

You would enjoy me for sure Phil!

You and Cena would probably be good training partners. You both have the same body frame and both are very serious about your workouts.

Ronnie Coleman once said: "Everyone wants large muscles, but no one wants to lift any heavyass weight!"

Like Ski mentioned it all depends on the individual goal.
You cant just turn fat into muscle overnight, and you can't just be lean by repping out light weights.

Set ranges that are typical are:
6-10 = heavy weight - strength and hypertrophy
12-15 = moderate weight - muscularity and leanness.

These are the guidelines with what I go by in terms of trying to find the right amount of weight to use.

You could even divide one more for those out there with the goal of strength alone with a 1-3 rep range and a maximum lifting weight. The results from this form of training produce your strongmen competitors...in a nutshell.

Eat clean train dirty, and everyone will think you are juicing. Perfect compliment in my opinion.

But generally If someones physique is to good to be true its generally Juice.
But juice or not muscles dont train themselves and if juice is there you have to train harder.
