Muscles are always hard. You just gotta get the fat off of them.
.
FUCK FUCK FUCK. Damn, not really a fan of cardio. Thanks for the info.
Nobody likes cardio. But itās the price people pay to look good.:wgrin:
ddr > cardio 
.
sighā¦yeah too much cardio , muscle breakdown >__> .
what heppen to our system and muscles after cardio workout for 20-30mins ??
If you can do the diet, then you dont need cardio! If your diet is strict enough, the cardio is not really needed, unless your doing a bodybuilding competition.
Even when I was getting ready for the nationals, I only did like 3 (20 min) sessions a week.
Just eat clean and that six pack will eventually come:bgrin:
I bet you were between 12 and 14 percent bodyfat when you started dieting though too heh.
cardio is fun 
, but risky ā¦
iāve been walking alot lately , i hardly use the public transport .
but got a question . after having cardio workout in the morning , then rest for about 8 hours andhave balanced meal which is high in protein with moderate carbs . can i do weight lifting after that ??
sigh i know how denjin and all of us feel to have muscles like ākobe beefā .
thats the only advantage I have at being skinny, and im being very careful not to go over 12% BF, some are my friends are big but they have far to much BF I dont want that.
I want that lean look, if that sounds right.
Itās time to start cutting bitches.
Monday : Cardio
Tuesday : Cardio
Wednesday : Quads, Hams, Calves
Thursday : Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
Friday : Back, Biceps, Forearms
Saturday : Cardio
Sunday : Cardio
WOOOOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I dunno, Iām just bored.
Anyway, right now Iām 237lbs. Around 20%bf (take a gander at my avatar). Gonna get down to around 10% to show some major abbage by the middle of the summer.
By the way, Iāve never thought about fixing the diet. Iāve never tried it, but something tells me Iād be a very grouchy person very, very fast.
I am not a big steak fan. (Well, I like $50 steak, but that doesnāt count as steak to me.)
Does a protein shake cover the max amount of protein needed for the day? Iāve been drinking that stuff. For those considering shakes, my friend phrased it this way: Do the math, 2 steaks gotta cost like the barrel of powder. Mathematically, itās cheaper.
Anyway, does it cover what I need? Steak + protein = too much and I donāt reap any more benefits?
hey guys is bicycling good cardio? i really donāt like running and prefer to ride a bicyle even if i have to ride for an hour vs 15 minutes of running. itās just so much more fun to ride a bike. what kind of worries me is the amount of cardio. iāve read that 15 minutes of ācardioā twice a day is good but not cardio for like an hour or something. what to do with something like bicycling?
Thought about putting leg day on thursday and chest/shoulders/triās on wednesday?? That way you donāt have two upper body dominant days in a row??
Iām going back to a basic body part split next week with alternating rep schemes
Monday: Chest/shoulders
Tuesday: Legs
Thursday: Lats/LowerBack
Friday: Biās/Triās
Iām going to stop running and try low impact cardio like bike riding and elipticalās for nowā¦my knees are shot up from 2 leg days and running on hard surfaces. Iām taking the rest of this week off.
I myself am having a little bit of a time getting under 10%ā¦still have plenty of time thoughā¦I know I can shed at least 5 more pounds this month.
:razzy: True That:razzy: Iām lucky that I have a very fast metabolism! Iām usually around 10 to 12 percent off season. Only bad thing is I have a small appetite, so I usually have to force myself to eat!
I work on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I donāt wanna be going to work with sore legs.
I was thinking of something like this:
Monday : Legs
Tuesday : Back, Biceps
Thursday : Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
And cardio all other days, except Wednesday.
What kinda work do you do??
Iām a server at a restaurant now and Iāve worked after doing near crippling quad shotsā¦lolā¦
The burning sensation.
My body feels one way, when Iām lifting, and another way, say when Iām running.
Okay, when Iām doing squats (weightless), towards the end, I think to myself āQuit bitching and keep going!ā The burning kicks in, and itās largely mental to keep going.
When Iām lifting, I donāt really feel a burning sensation. More than anything, itās as if I canāt move the weight anymore. I think to myself āWhoās the guy holding down my wrist?!ā
I guess my question is, should I be lifting lighter but targeting the ārunningā burning sensation?
Depends on what you are training for when you lift weightsā¦my first response would be ānoāā¦but if you are training for endurance and a higher threshold for Lactic acid (the burning sensation) then the answer would be yesā¦train with lighter weights in excess of 15 rep sets.
When I train, I donāt train for a pump or a burning sensationā¦those are all fine and dandyā¦but I have goals and all of those goals revolve around getting bigger and getting stronger. So if Iām getting stronger then I donāt care how much or how little I feel the burn. If Iām getting bigger I feel the same way.
Now when training for size in rep schemes of say 8-12 rep sets with VERY low resting intervals say 45-90 secondsā¦you should really feel the burn too.
Hope that helps.
I also feel that burning sensation when I lift. I usually follow what Magnus said, around 8 repetitions with heavy weightāwhich I considered of course and after 90 seconds I do another rep and I really feel that burning sensation. That is very true.
One question.
Is it true that muscles grow when you rest? Assuming that you eat the protein you that you need?

Yes muscle grow when you rest, not in the gym, yea when your in the gym your muscles will be pumped, but I wouldnt take that as their real size.
I think the more rest you get the more they grow, thats why training more than 4 days is stupid.
hmm ā¦ i see , but what happen to the muscles when we do cardio for 20-30 minutes ??
