3x5 for weight loss?
I am currently 40 lbs overweight but want to start lifting. I read that it's better to start with 3x5 instead of 5x5 when you're eating in a calorie deficit for weight loss. Opinions? Should I add cardio as well to lifting to help aid in weight loss? New to all of this. Thanks for any help.

best wrist watch HRM?
I have a HRM with the chest strap, but have seen these nifty little wrist watch HRM that you don't need a strap for. Any recommendations for a good choice since there are so many options out there?
