i cant take them serious.
let me make a slight confession about this abercrombie workout. a few months back i posted a before and after pic (lost 30 lbs). i only did the 3rd phase of the abercrombie workout but tweaked it to personalize my body composition. but basically i lost my weight from doing the cardio part. so i would lift 3 to 4 times a week (not heavy lifting, just did back/bi one day, chest/tri, and legs/abs). on days that i lifted, i jogged 20 minutes before lifting, and jogged 20 minutes after lifting. on days i was not lifting, i did 10 to 12 minutes of HIIT first thing in the morning. i did this for over a month and then school started. before i knew it, all my clothes looked huge on me and i started wearing mediums and smalls. because i was freaked out of gaining weight again, i got heavy into leangains.com and started to do intermittent fasting to maintain my weight and sanity. so since august until today, i've only hit the gym 10 to 15 times (grad school has literally kept me out of the gym). and ive flucuated in weight 5 lbs.
long story short, for the heavy guys out there, quickest (and most rewarding) way to lose weight is cardio and lifting heavy. i lifted sorta heavy (have a left shoulder that dislocates alot) so i lost alot of weight but have average definition. i'm 5'6" 170 lbs now (lowest was 164) and i weighed 205lbs may 2009.
ps. try being asian and going into the locker rooms at the ymca. i swear every dude be checking out my junk to see if the stereotype is true, and of course i can't be a %%%#+ and walk around with the towel wrapped around my waist. i know theyre all saying "he has an average size, but damn his balls are big".
