@awesomedude717
Not if you want real results… Just do the program naturally, and you’ll see results. Natural is always better. I took creatine bank in the day, and wouldn’t recommend it, or anything other than Protein and Magnesium (only supplementing I do).
@SquarishLink I’ve covered this topic many times on my BlogTalkRadio show. Go there search & Steve Turano. The show can also be downloaded from iTunes. The most recent shows can also be heard on my website home page (at the bottom) once they upload. Tell a friend! ~Steve
What is the point of weight gain formula? i have been told by many power lifters to increase caloric intake to increase in muscle mass. I dont think i can body build on a diet of only salad and chicken breasts.
Your welcome punanibuzzed. Let us know what your goals are…and then let us know your progress. There’s quite a few guys posting there ( 5 or 6) for sure, that really know their stuff. They’re strong and lean and ripped,..I’m strong and lean and ripped,..and we’ll help you get that if you stick around some.
Losing fat is a slow process. Trying to keep it to about 1 pound per week insures that your daily caloric deficit…(though exercise, diet or both), does not on too many days exceed 500 cals. Any more then that…on too many days, and your body will feel that you’re starving. If it feels you’re starving, it will reach for all that lean muscle mass you’re carrying on board for energy, and leave the fat alone. So eat just slightly less then you need..keep it to 1 lb. a week and you’ll be fine.
thanks. youve been a lot of help
Yes. First, when we say cardio…HIIT cardio or whatever, it has to be intermixed within your whole workout so you’re allowed maximum rest between workouts. You don’t wan’t to OVER-DO hard cardio thoughout any week. Overdoing hard cardio can effect your strength progression and if it really gets over done, strip a bit of muscle from your frame. You don’t want that. The other..and most common way that people lose muscle mass is though creating daily caloric deficits that are TOO LARGE.
and…what kind of HIIT do you suggest? i mean i know you said only twice a week and i know of course it depends on what goals one is trying to achieve but, for example if running, would you run for 5 mins with a 2 minute slow down and back for another 5 minutes of running and so on…? or would you feel it out as you make progress??
good points. so are there any times in exercising besides when you would be at 0% bod fat, that you could start burning muscle?
This constant pushing of your cardiovascular envelope will increase your VO2 maximum to a higher degree. It will make your body essentially a more efficient fat burner. HIIT cardio is VERY hard and very brief. You can only do it once or twice per week. Any other calories I want to burn after that I simply do easy walking. HIIT training will help you burn fat like nothing else. It developes both your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to their MAX. It will NOT interfere with muscle gains.
…heart patients, and he was just guessing. The best type of cardio training is something called HIIT training..or HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING. I’ve been doing it since 1997. You push the limits of any zone and then continue on though,..only to drop back again for a short rest…and then push on through again. This type of training is best for increasing your capacity for oxygen uptake. It develops your ability to recupe quickly and then apply yourself quckly again at a higher velocity.
That was the old line of thinking. Back in the 70’s and early 80’s the idea of ” LSD ” Long Sustained Distance was the ideal for fat burning. It burns fat, but the idea of a fat burning ” zone ” has been debunked for some time. I’m sure you’ve seen those heartrate zone charts in gyms that are based on your age. I read an interview given to the doctor that invented that heartrate/age chart. He says he laughs everytime he sees one posted in a gym. He says he developed in in 1968 for………
ive been watching some of your posts and you seem knowledgeable…so, i was speaking to a friend some time ago about cardio/heart rate/muscle building, etc…He was telling me that at some point during cardio, if a person’s heart rate gets too high, the body is no longer able to burn fat and begins to burn muscle instead…how important is a target heart rate ??? is this stuff true?

or do you just have to eat a tiny amount more calories than what you burn?
Amazing
Steve is always on Q…

You CAN run a calorie deficit AND still have enough to build muscle. You don’t need that many calories to build muscle and you can only put on so much muscle in a weeks time. Some of the cals used that create the deficit are come from muscles demanding extra calories for repairing and building; the calories for muscle building become PART of the caloric deficit. Getting stronger on a lift is a pretty good indication of muscle gain. Getting weaker on a lift is a good indication of muscle loss.
