Eh. I wouldn't recommend that. It would get rid of some of the muscle that he already has then. He wants to lose body fat first, so he shouldfocus on reducing calories. IMO, everyone should do some sort of resistance training; however, it should be their choice as to how they do it. They can docalisthenics, weights, etc. It not only improves body composition and raises your metabolic rate, but it helps in daily things, like carrying groceries to thecar, etc.Originally Posted by WarMachine

wait... you don't want muscle? well if you don't care about muscle loss and only want to lose weight why not just go on a VLCD?
What's your goal? Strength? Size?Originally Posted by mcnoodlez
can someone hook me up with a 3 different upper-body workouts? I do cardio/resistance for my lower body so I'm looking for 3 different upper body workouts. Not sure which muscle groups to do with which, so 3 workouts would be highly appreciated.
i want to bulk up my chest/neck/shoulders/arms etc., but with lean, cut muscle, not bulkiness. i'm going for the lean/cut look, and doing HIITreligiously.Originally Posted by nealraj006

Personally, I'd rather do an upper body day than just two body parts.
Just mix and match exercises really. Make sure that you do compound movements and try and include one for each muscle group/action, like pull, push, etc.
Bench - Incline, Flat, Decline, Close-grip; DB, BB, Cable
Dips - bodyweight or weighted
Pushups - Incline, decline, flat, diamond, one arm, handstand, wide, etc.
Military Press - BB, DB
Bent Over Row - DB, BB
Pull up - bodyweight or weighted. Can progress to muscle ups if you get really good.
Lat Pulldown
If you want isolation exercises, then throw some in, but I wouldn't recommend them if you want strength. Either way though, your main base should still be compound movements.

I think that there's a great website that you may be interested in: www.fitnessblackbook.com
Rusty, the guy that runs the site, is a great guy. He's all about helping those that aren't into bodybuilding and mass training, but those that are into a sustainable, lean look. He's 40 now, but he's lean as a 20 year old.
-Lifting heavy has to do with recruiting existing and building as many new neuro muscular connections as possible. If you're lifting heavy youcan't really do too many reps because you're limited by your central nervous system and the peripheral nervous systems.Originally Posted by nealraj006

Weight lifters lift low reps because it doesn't cause as big of a gain in mass as more reps would. That's why you can see small guys lifting huge weights; they keep the reps low to limit the growth in size.
Yeah, the weight should also change accordingly. You should be just able to do 5 reps at most with the weight. But don't train to the point of exhaustion. You should never feel depleted after a workout. Training to failure consistently isn't good. You should only use it to break past a sticking point.
You're right. I meant new pathways within the connections.Originally Posted by Durden7
I very well could wrong here, but I thought the number of neuromuscular connections is predetermined and can't change.

I don't know the exact technical term.
