dj_flip03 Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Running and lifting are two separate activities and require different stimulus and adaptation. Common sense, if running really developed your condition for weightlifters, then marathon runners would be world champion powerlifters and weightlifters, but they're not There is no "fat burning state" This is but one of the myths incorporated by so called experts. You need to get your metabolism up its that simple. You burn more caloires than you consume, and you lose wight. People make this subject so freaking complicated. UUhhhhh I can deadlift 360 lbs bench over 200 and squat well over 300 and I don't run. So how in the world can running prepare you for lifting weights? And on what basis should you jog first before lifting? whoever said that should be shot in thew head!!!! stop spreading all these old wives tales!!!!! Diet is about proper eating and balancing of macros I give you that. Again guys, leave the educating part to the real strength coaches So what you're saying is that I don't need to run, but just by lifting a weights as heavy as a truck in different directions would make a tummy small? I'm running and lifting weights to have a fit body not to look like Ronnie Coleman. I just wanna have a tip-top shape, that's all. Well I beg to disagree that weighlifting alone can make you loose weight. It does develop your tissues into muscles, but I believe its not enough to loose your beer gut. Quote Link to comment

Losing one's beer gut means you have to lower your bodyfat and this can only be achieved through cleaning up your diet and intense weight training. The reason why lifting weights make you lose pounds is the fact that more muscle mass burns more fat as well. Peace. Quote Link to comment

Let's not start dealing with old wives tales here. fact: lifting weights does build muscle and is an anaerobic activityfact: anaerobic activity boosts your metabolic rat more than areobic activityfact: lifting heavy weights will not make you look like ronnie coleman if you don't have the genetics and the tons of drugs he takes. fiction: tissues cannot turn into other tissuesfact: you can lose fat without running as there are several other options you can do to burn fat and boost metabolism Quote Link to comment
thebigbadlonewolf Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 for the perpetually bloated, you may want to try PSYLLIUM HUSKS (brand names include C-Lium, etc). it's fiber, so it expands in your tummy (when mixed with water) and cleans out your innards (like a toothbrush for your intestines). for first time users, you'd be surprised...your jebs will be anaconda-ish (and you'll be surprised at all the dirt and crap you've been carrying around all these years). should be able to shrink down your tummy (just a bit, but it helps) if it's caused by gas or undigested food/debris lodged in there. more importantly, you'll feel SOOOO clean inside!

thebigbadlonewolf Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 yup, most drugstores or health food stores carry psyllium. price ranges anywhere from 600++ to a grand per container. it also comes in capsule/tablet form, but i think the raw husk form (mixed with water or any beverage) is more effective. if you want to check it out first before getting the big bottle, C-lium has these single-serve trial packs. Healthy Options also sells it on a per-gram basis (they have this in Shangri-La mall last time i checked) and in a "rawer" form (less processing, more effective). happy crapping! @tints: wala bang side effects yung chinese appetite suppresant?

CoolH2o2 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 i tried those diet pills and things some time ago, and i agree that they do work, somewhat... in the sense that you don't get hungry for some time, or tend to eat less. but it also felt like something wasn't right in my body, right after drinking them... it didn't feel natural. it's hard to explain to someone who hasn't tried it yet, but rest assured, there's a difference in your disposition the whole day after trying these things. and i didn't like the feeling, so i didn't push through with them. i did however try exercise. it takes up time, which we normally don't have, but the rewards are good... slimmer figure, and it feels as if you have more energy. you wake up more refreshed every morning, and feel generally stronger and healthier. in my opinion, it's a matter of finding the right exercise for you... i personally don't like repetitive chores that feel as if "walang punto," like weights (this is just my opinion, no flames please), so i tried doing martial arts. kasi parang mas may saysay para sa akin. you learn how to defend yourself, and there's a certain sense of achievement when you're able to do moves that you used to not be able to do. it's a good feeling... and really, it's partly looking good, but it's also about being actually healthy. and exercise will help you become healthy in a way that no diet pills will be able to do.
