Woah woah woah. It is completely possible to build muscle while losing weight. This is a common misconception. You will need to get a body composition test and then after a few months get one again. One of my clients lost 19 lbs of fat and gained 3lbs of muscle. Complete success story and she looks great. It's not easy,…

You cannot target fat loss. Not sure if that is part of what you are asking. And when you lift heavy you burn more calories for a 24 or 36 hour period after the workout as opposed to just cardio. There is a good combination. But too much cardio will eat into your gains and burn muscle. HIIT training is good to go with…

Protein powder is as much personal preference as it is anything else. I have used many over the years, but the 2 I always go back to are Combat Powder and Syntha 6. Both for different reasons. They are also consistently on the top of the review boards for weight lifters.

Anyone else gaining lean muscle while lowering body fat?

This is true. And I am more in the game for strength and health, but I like the cut because I want to look good too.

Usually when you do cardio you burn calories solely for the time you are doing that cardio and your heart rate is up. Then after you are done, the burn subsides. With weight training you will continue to burn calories up to 24 hours after your workout. So it is very difficult to set a standard calorie burn weight training.

I love answering questions. A bulk is when you are adding weight with the idea of putting on strength and muscle. When you "cut" you drop body fat percentage so that you can then see the muscle that as underneath the added body fat. There are advantages to different body styles. In my second photo I was a great runner due…

Thanks everyone. I am pleased with results so far, but it is never enough. I have my first competition in 3 months. Need to get ready. :)

It is a rare side affect of weight lifting. Caused by only the most die hard of fans. Lol.

selfish bump. lol

Thank you. :)

First image was 260 lbs. Using MFP/training cut all the way to 173 lbs. (second pic) Last picture (yesterday) was 210lbs after bulking for 10 months. Just started a new cut. [/URL] [/URL] [/URL]

Lol. But if I kept the fuzz what would I do about the tattoo?

THank you Heather. IF you need any help send me a friend request. Been in the game for a long time now. I was just fishing for some new ideas. Take care.

I have access to a simple cable machine. lots of dumbbells, benches, incline and decline, leg press machine, all legs actually except for calves, squat rack, smith machine and pull up rack.

Wow. Not one reply. Is this site going downhill? I know it has been a while since I have been on, but man.

Great feedback. Thank you so much. I should also explain that some of these execises were geared to women that were looking for a weight lifting "like" routine that also includes some "other" exercises to keep it interesting. I would argue that situps are arguable. Lol. When done properly, especially at a decline they…

A lot of the exercises in this routine I do on a regular basis. Actually, you will find a lot of them in boot camp routines (including actual bootcamp) and in crossfit routines. This routine focuses on the areas that, when given the biggest gains, will help shape your entire body and lose weight. But, to each their own.

They look awesome actually. You have a lot of definition. Great job.

I have spent the last few months putting on size. Now it is time to shred.... which means a stricter diet... yuck.

Thanks for the quick responses. Wow. I love this site. But what if we put the chest hair debate aside and just focused on the structure. Lol...

Thanks missfit. You look great too. You always have. Keep up the great work.

Lol. Guessing that was for someone else.

10... First one i gave out. Stunning.

Ok. I have been reading the crossfit babble. I am neither for nor against it. What i am against is people on here bashing others for trying it. I am in the army. I have heard people say cf is very militaristic. I am not conceited ot narcissistic but my picture is current and i am around 9% body fat. If cf does that for…

Just lag...... sorry And you have a belly button
