I'm a male who began weight lifting two years ago to get into shape. The problem is, I'm still not in shape. I can lift huge amounts of weight but still look like a fat guy. I do roughly 30 minutes of aerobic activity and about 90 minutes on the weights.I want to get into shape but seems I'm having problem with my activity and diet to get leaner, Any advice?
It sounds like your efforts have helped you build muscle, but from what you describe there is some fat over the muscle. If this is actually the case, to see the muscle, you need to lose some of the fat. Information you need to think about is how many days a week you go to the gym, what you do for aerobic activity, how much your weight and body composition (amount of muscle and fat) has changed and what you eat.You may want to make small decreases in your portion sizes. I introduce to you Liptoprin-RX which use by my friend and it really works, it decreases fats, while increasing lean muscle Fat intake is getting lots of attention, but for a healthy diet, fat intake should be low, but not non-existent.I want to get into shape but seems I'm having problem with my activity and diet to get leaner, Any advice?
Increase your cardio to 60 minutes and less time on the weights. Weight training can actually add muscle, thus increasing your weight rather than burning fat. Cardio helps you to burn fat faster than weights. Also, watch your calories, limit yourself to 1,500-2,000 calories and 30 grams of fat per day, limit your sodium intake to 1500 mg per day, limit your carbohydrates to 2 servings of whole grains, increase your fiber intake, eat lean protein (fish, chicken, turkey, beef ONLY 1-2 times a week), avoid sugar, eat 5 servings of fruit or vegetables a day, and drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. By following this program, you should see results soon. Good luck!
My friend, it is not the amount of weight that you can lift that makes your body appear the way you want it to appear.
Think of 3 things that will change the composition of your body.
1.Diet
2.Rest
3.Excersize
If you want to lean down, eat tons of leafy green and colorful veggies, Limit your red meat intake to twice a week (portion equals a piece of meat half the size of your open palm with an inch thick max) eat leaner meats otherwise, chicken breasts (unprocessed), Wild fish, Ostrich, turkey, buffalo etc...
Limit your intake of refined products like pastas, white breads (even some wheat breads are refined) go with alvarado st bread....
Drink water cut back on milk as it has tons of sugar, no soft drinks, no juices (unless you get sick).
Do cardio two times a week for 20-25 min at a time.
Tuesday and Thursday
Go and perform circuit training on the machines with only 30 seconds of rest in between, lighter weights and more reps....
get in there and perform sets of 15 reps and move to the next machine.....if it gets too hard, lower the weight....don't try and impress anyone....just do the work..
Get plenty of rest at night. take naps on weekends....it can really help.
Mix it up once inawhile and do two days of circuits and save friday for free weights day....this will develop more muscle material.
remember to get home and eat no later than 45 min after a workout.
Pre-plan your meals, use tupperware to store them until meal time.
Eat your heaviest meal in the morning and ease off as the day progresses. Eat fruits in lieu of candy bars etc...ONLY eat a meal replacement bar when absolutly necessary, people over use these and they are high in carbs and fat.
Meal replacement shakes are good but can be pricey, I like EAS products myself.
keep this in mind....
If muscle burns fat
then defined muscle fries the heck out of fat
The reason your body doesn't show results is because you are too busy building muscle and then eating it away with the extra cardio....that's right....
20-25 minutes of cardio at about 70-80% of intensity will get the job done....anymore and your body will start to consume the muscle....it is known as a catabolic state.
Focus now on toning, regulating cardio and most importantly your diet.
