   I started the 10-week size surge routine two weeks ago, and at the beginning I weighed in at 150lbs, and 19%BF. After weeks I weighed myself in again, and I am 19-1/2%BF, and 153lbs. My weghts and stregnth have all increased, but I had figured by adding new muscle, and keeping my calories consistent I would decrese my BF a little. Although I don't know exactly what my calorie intake is I try to keep it at about 40% Protein, 40% Carbs, and 20% Fat. I eat about 5-6 meals a day. Do you think it would be better to concentrate on lowering my calories, and fat, or to add 2-3 days of cardio. At the present time I dont do any cardio?? Thanks In Advance IP: Logged |

Add a few days of cardio, not only to burn fat but also strenghten your heart. My favorite type of cardio is the kind where you don't even need to get out of bed. IP: Logged |

the thing is diet and cardio goes togheter like Thick Dog and sex posts j/k  cardio is awesome for loosing those extra pounds, add 30-45 minutes before breakfast and you are sure to loose some fat. the diet thing, reducing your fat inntake isnt always the answere, it all depends on wich kind of fats you are getting. lowering your carbs does seem to have a good efect on fat loss. but it will also reduce your muscle gaining and strenght...so i would suggest you either go to add mass ,then diet down later..or diet down now nad DONT plan on adding muscle while you do it. ------------------ "...damn you for not giving my TEST" - Metallica "After this show i'll be fat and happy again.....If i make it to the show...." - Lee Priest [This message has been edited by MrMuscle (edited July 31, 2000).] IP: Logged |

My metabolism is so high that cardio would fuck with my stength, so the only cardio I do is picking up my bong , placing it onto my mouth, light my bowl and inhale. IP: Logged |
