I am of the school of thought that you get size and strength doing heavy weights with low reps, and if you want cuts and definition, you want to do more reps and lower weights. The latter would also keep your heart rate up and help lose the fat. However, someone on my FL pointed out to me that my school of thought could be outdated. So currently, I am doing more research. You can find a lot of good info on the net (bodybuildingforum.com).
However, it must be noted, that it was not my intention to attack anyone despite the appearances. So I extend an apology. Should have been more tactful.
My own goal is to stay healthy and fit and look good. Yes, I am vain, I want to look good. So I lift heavy for the glamour muscles but also do a lot of lighter weight, more reps routines, along with cardio. So yeah, my goal is not to be able to lift the back of a truck, more like going to the beach and winning!
Google "mr. Olympia reps per set" and tell me what you learn. You couldn't be more wrong.
haha....you sure you wanted to tell me this. please read:
seems like this mr olympia guy totally agrees with me.
more additionally, haha and ho ho, we are not mr olympia guy dude! but thanks for the funnies.

Also, the above cited research (not the link i posted but further above) is an opinion piece and is a clown link. I was not going to post in here anymore but just my last post.
Additionally, if someone makes a nice blog post that does not make it research.
More additionally, it was said that my true colors came through when I was angry, but I was not angry nor do I lose my anger very often. A smile never left my face.
Further additionally, to each their own.
Au revoir, so long, hasta lavista, namaste...........
I see you have not learned how to communicate with people politely yet.
spank me?!? please!
I would rather stab my eyes out with a spoon.
You are so hot though. Thanks for the eye candy. yummmm....

I just can't get over this guy who has all the answers and knowledge but apparently chooses not to use ANY of it in here trying to tell these women who have had very OBVIOUS STELLAR RESULTS how to do it.0

Wow. Don't worry. It requires a lot of effort and hard work. As long as you don't do either, your husband will never divorce you.0 -

Most of what I know about fitness / nutrition I learned after coming to MFP from Sunshine (toughtulip)
All of these women are just plain awesome. :drinker:0 -
How did I miss this thread today???
Anyhow, in...
...obviously.
ETA: And now I go back to read through to see how an otherwise epic thread like this could be derailed.
*sigh* MFP. This is why we can't have nice things.0 -

I was hoping she was also being sarcastic....0 -
You know, we REALLY need a "sarcasm" font on this site.
I disagree.
I differentiate people based on their ability to discern sarcasm...so there are 1) those who understand sarcasm, and 2) worthless people who shouldn't be allowed to post on the internet...or vote.0 -

I missed it too.
I was too busy watching some clown at the gym take a running start to get under the bar before he squatted.. and then he didn't even squat properly.
Made me sad at first... and happy when I showed him up!0 -

I know.. but my gym has a rule against using cell phones on the floor for un-fitness related things.. and I don't want to break the rules
There was also a lot of pep talks and acting like a swelled up peacock... it made me giggle!0 -
