Cool, looking forward to your response to see if it makes sense with what I'm learning in my PT courses.Originally Posted by Durden7
Ill come back in a bit and edit this when I have time. Ill explain how its more efficient to do resistance training first then aerobics second.Originally Posted by ChewToy112

The source of fuel isn't important, it's the total calorie burn. If his goal is to lose weight rather than build muscle, cardio should be before. When you're sitting on the couch, 70% of the energy you burn comes from fat (as opposed to 50% or less when exercising), but that doesn't mean sitting on the couch is the best way to lose fat.Originally Posted by brettTHEjett
From what I understand,
All of the sugar (or the sugar in excess) is burned off during your lifing exercises. Therefore, doing cardio POST lifting will direct fat content to be burned (as opposed to sugar).
It's obviously alot more scientific than that.. but that's the idea. Post lifting cardio burns fat.
Aerobics might be better before weight training because when he first starts working out, he'll have more energy and that energy will be devoted to aerobics, so he'll push himself harder in aerobics. Then when he does weight training, he can still work out, but he'll probably do lower weight because he spent alot of energy on aerobics.
Just my thinking, I've tried both out before.
Most efficient in what way? Can you elaborate?
Here's how I see it. To get technical, I wouldn't have them do aerobic training at all; I'd have them do anaerobic cardio before weightlifting. In any case, my reasoning was what cguy was saying. If one's primary goal is weightloss and building strength is secondary, then I would suggest he/she expend more energy working specifically towards his/her ultimate goal. I think we can agree that if I do one form of exercise first, I'm not going to be able to work as hard on the second portion due to fatigue induced by the first session. So, if someone's goal is weight loss and they do cardio second, they're not able to work as hard during their cardio portion. In this way, they're not working "efficiently" towards their personal goal.
What do you mean by anaerobic cardio?

Question for the gurus. Lately I've started going heavy on my compounds (deadlifts, squats, powercleans) as they were never a crucial part of my workout until now. But today I started to get really lightheaded and after my workout I was literally on the verge of throwing up...stood over the toilet and everything but would not allow myself to yak in the locker room. Question is what causes this and is there anything I can do to prevent it from happening? I don't wanna go lighter on the workouts bc I see the progress already and I'd like to keep them as a staple.
Are you breathing properly?
Derek from Kennedy? Lee or Fong?
You lost some weight, nice job.
LOL I SEEN YOU AT SAC CITY ( I think)
I know what the Big 3 are, I just didnt know if you wanted the weightfor them. For 4 reps im around 95 DB Bench, 315 for Squat and tomorrowill be doing deadlift so I dont know that number yet.
How much do you weigh?
I'm guessing your barbell bench is around 210 for 4 reps.

Yeah. Which gym do you go to the most?
Lol a lot of people from Sacramento in here, nice.
i dunno why dudes feel the need to say pause when it comes to discussion on physiques when its fitness relatedOriginally Posted by EveryDayKicks
^^what do you even look like? PAUSE
this is late but dont bother working on your forearms individually. if you are doing hard full-body workouts, they will get worked out in other ways. my bicep workouts in particular blow up my forearms.. 21s especially. i started doing those like 2 months ago and now my forearms have mad veins and muscles popping outOriginally Posted by damnitzdom
good forearm exercises?

I think most companies prefer leaner cats over muscular cats. I saw a TV show where a dude got shut down on a modeling gig because they wanted a skinnier person.
It's true, man. At around 150 lbs at 5'10''...I'm easily one of the smallest cats in the gym. But when I went back home last summer...cats at the gym were asking me how I got my arms swoll like that. I bought some t shirts back there and had to get size XL, which fits like a U.S. small.Originally Posted by Al Audi
