First of all, thanks for the specifics. I’d appreciate it if you could show an entire week (or two). My answer to getting it down to every 48 hours is to do my 3-day a week workout every single day instead of with breaks.
Second of all, if you don’t kill it…is there even growth?
Yo, what’s up, Kal. Was fun talking to you about Dudley and working on the DCP threads. (Compilation and killing Chun Li)
Thanks for the links, I’ll be sure to check them out.
250lb 20 rep squats > Me:wasted:
you’d better :rolleyes: . i want men with big legs together along with bulky torso and arms .
there’s are some cardio machines that trains your hams , quads and calves . is like cycling without sitting , forget how to call it , my thigh and calves is hard solid . my calves is a size of a full grown carp .
it exactly burn as much as an inclined treadmill .
It’s been explained before in the thread, so I’ll give you the gist.
Here’s a small bonus.
Make yourself do things physically. For example. You go to the mall. Don’t look for the closest parking spot. Get the farthest, get your fat ass to walking! Go up stairs instead of taking the elevator. Any little thing helps.
I think I asked this in a previous post, but no one answered, so I’ll try again.
Is there any difference between cutting via taking in fewer calories without doing cardio work vs. eating more calories with doing cardio work? Let’s say if you had two people, and one ate 500 fewer calories than needed per day to lose 1 lb./week, and the other one ate the exact amount of calories needed per day to maintain current weight, but did a half hour of intense cardio work to burn 500 calories/per day to also lose 1 lb./week.
Would there be any difference in benefit between the two approaches (other than the obvious benefits of cardio type exercise)? Is cutting via diet only a bad way to do it?

I’d imagine it would be of no difference in weight loss benefit. When it comes down to it though, diet is key. You can’t eat whatever you want and just expect the weight to come off just because you exercise. The best way to lose weight is to have a good diet AND to exercise.
First, I’m going to assume that the person in question lifts weight. With that said, I’m going to say the guy doing the cardio is going to have better results.
The name of the cutting game is metabolism. And the reason why I think the cardio-guy will do better is that when you compliment a circuit weight lifting regiment with cardio on the off-days, you are maintaining a higher metabolism throughout the week than if you just lift weights. And it will more than make up for that mere 500 extra calories. Doing cardio of those off days helps to keep your body on-point.
Now the key to an effective cardio workout is not the calories you burn during the workout, but the calories after. Having said that, the cardio that you should be doing for maximum results iss an interval routine. A 20-minute interval cardio workout will burn more calories after the workout than a total high-intencity workout twice as long.
As Javi stated, excersize isn’t the whole story. What you eat and how frequently you eat is also very important. I would not tell you what you eat (as that has already been stressed), but you should spread you meals to 6 times a day. And you should never be hungry (as in stomach-growling hungry). If you body thinks it’s starving, your metabolism will drop.
^what exactly is interval cardio?
Generally, the way it works is this:
Anyone know of any good protein shakes for bulking?
I’m currently taking EAS Mass Factor. It’s pretty good for bulking I think. Has about 600 calories, 52 grams of protein I believe, and a decent amount carbs. At night I take a regular whey protein shake from ISOpure.
When I start cutting I’m either gonna cut out shakes, or take the isopure zerocarb ones. Haven’t decided yet.
Anyways, I’ve been bulking the past month and its been pretty good. I’ve only gained 4 lbs but I guess thats not bad. I make sure that I superset almost everything. It really seems to make a difference in size, I feel as if I’m getting bigger in a shorter amount of time, plus I’m able to finish my workouts in a little over an hour.
Favorite supersets so far:
Incline bench w/ Flatbench flies
Tricep pulldowns w/ Pushups
Latpulldowns w/ Rows
I do them, I just collapse on the floor in a pile of sweat afterwards.
Alrighty man!! Thanks for the advice. See, I don’t really eat Mexican food, although I am Mexican. I hardly eat outside–fast food restaurant. I try not to eat too much fat and about my calori intake, I think I am doing alright. I am definitely sticking to cardio (1 hour run) and lifting weights like I did last year.
You guys take care 
Thanks for the advance.
A question: The answer is probably somewhere here too, if so, I am sorry to ask again.
Will I lose some of the muscle I gained over this past months when I run this summer?
Ryumexicano
yes
Intensity
Collapsing on the floor is only for some workouts or all?
To everyone other than Romie, is this how far you take your workouts?
I always take my workouts as far as I can go, I think Romie is just saying that after Leg workouts he feels ready to collapse, as I’m sure most of us do. After doing legs I’m just exhausted, and can barely walk, but after killing my biceps or something I’m tired, just not ready to die. I’m pretty sure thats what he meant, but I could be wrong.
What do super sets do overall?
Another question is, which is overall better, store bought protein shakes or home made protein shakes?
yeah … i might collapse too , especially having an overtrained hamstring which soared so bad :wasted:
no, you will lose fat, if you continue to workout you will not lose muscle…loss of muscle that is gained is generally due to not working out…

I actually walk over to the corner and collapse on the floor, and sit there for a while.
I take my leg workouts very, very seriously. I go 110%, which I can’t do with most upper body because of a bad shoulder.
