1. Too much cardio will put you in a catabolic state (burning muscle- bad). 2. The more muscle you have the more cals your burn. 3. Looking at 1 and 2 can you see why so many people go nowhere fast? Lift heavy stuff, no you won't get big. No you don't need to follow some celeb 'program'. Just do the following exercises. 3…

This has to be the most asked question on MFP. I wish it was part of the setup when you first run the app. Just a page to inform people what the basic ideas are. Something like.. "The cal goal is your baseline. If you exercise you should eat those cal's back." Done.

Toned Arms = Reducing bodyfat to a point where the muscle is shown. First port of call isn't in the gym, it's diet. Get that in check first. You'll never exercise your way to Toned anything without cleaning up your diet. In the gym for upper body do the following.. 1. Pull ups. (start on an assited machine if you need to,…

I wonder what the net calorie loss was from all the BS typed on this thread? At least there's a positive we can all agree on.

Read this post. Type in the numbers and work it out. http://forums.menshealth.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310347/m/474106321 I wouldn't try for 2lbs per week. Start with 1 and see how you get on. Use MFP to log not Fitdays of course. ;)

Agree with others here. Ditch what you're doing and aim for compound lifts. In order of maximum benifit: Squarts/Deadlifts, Pullups, Bench Press, Overhead (shoulder Press). Go heavy with these exercises 3 times a week. You'll work all the areas you currently do as part of these lifts. Regards, Simon

Why can't it be messured? Surly if you have the right equipment it should be fairly easy no? That's what I don't get. Why there's no sites listing Cal's burnt from exercise in the following way.. Cal's burnt During exersise + Cal's burnt after. From the very few things I could find on the net the numbers could be quite…

That's not the same thing though. I think that's refering more to something like Pump exercise. If I track how many Squarts, deadlifts, etc, I do why doesn't it show the cals for these?

Sort term? Running. Long term (as in keeps on burning cals). Compound weights. Squats, deadlifts, brench press, pull ups.
