parbust3r Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 once a week wont get it done. I dont care what anyone says. Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I work out every saturday. Technically, I dont know what are my exercises, but its more for arms and chest (i think). Ill ask my trainor what are those exercises. Thanks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Better ask your trainer. it would be foolish to blindly follow something without understanding the logic behind it Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Once a week would be decent for maintenance but I'd say you need to go at least twice a week to make decent progress Quote Link to comment

JesusFreak! Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I've recently revised my cardio routine, I alternately do HIIT on treadmill and bumpee ala tabata... in that way maybe, I could rest my legs... I still can't run on treadmill on high speeds. Would it be good if I do it this way (alternate HIIT and Tabata?) Quote Link to comment
crazykalbo Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 people, i need your advise.. im trying to lose fat right now... im satisfied with my current muscle mass since i dont want to be mister ronnie coleman anyway. my program consists of mwf weights (total body/whole body workouts focusing on major muscles... not a fan of isolated minor muscle workouts kasi... gusto ko pagbuhat ako ung pumping hearbeat parang cardio), followed by 30 minutes cardio. tapos sa tue/thu/sat i do 30 min cardio with abs routine. sundays are either a rest day or flag football day (in which i play as a wide receiver or a halfback depending on the mood of our quarterback). ok na ba yung program ko na ganun? sa diet naman, im planning yung ginagawa ko now, ang main source of carbs ko lang is less than 1/2 cup of rice for the whole day tapos lean meat and egg whites. ok na kaya yun? if not penge naman suggestions... pls pls pls thanks much...

Olympus Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 how long should i rest between sets for squats and deadlifts, and for curls and pulldowns? thanks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I rest about 7 minutes in between heavy squat and deadlift sets. I may even go up to 10 minutes. I don't do curls since I find it pointless to do curls if you can't even do 10 pullups. You'll get more arm growth from pullups and rows as compared to pulldowns and curls Quote Link to comment

Those who are in decent shape and can already do Tabatas without having a major breakdown in form Quote Link to comment

Are you getting the results you want? Why such low carbs? I assume you're around 150-180 in weight? Quote Link to comment
Equus Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 i also advice low carbo... i think that this is important for the initial rapid weight loss... for an immediate sense of achievement... heheheheheh... some trainers kasi sigurista... kung di kaya ma addres yung problema sa work out, tirahin rin sa dyeta para mukhang may nagawa sila...

crazykalbo Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 yes im 180 lbs... well i think its wrong to zero in calories too... thats why i want to ask you guys.. personally i think... moderation is the key tama ba guys? pero lagi ako may feeling na pag i eat carbs nabigat ako.. ewan ko ba.. kahit napakakonti ng rice na kainin ko i feel so freakin heavy and my stomach would like to burst...

Equus Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 ayos lang naman... no prob nman yung rice talaga... its all about calories... if rice makes you feel that way then dont eat rice... get carbs from fruits and vegetables... Quote Link to comment

guile1912 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 my question is what do you eat when it comes to snacks? what do you eat when your in the mall? i mean what are the "safe" foods to eat? kasi sometimes di talaga maiwasan, pero it makes you less guilty if you know what you ate is kinda "safe".

About training you need to go at least twice a week to get results. I personally believe thrice a week is the most optimal. focus on squats, deadlifts bench presses, military presses, row and pullups. Avoid machines and isolation exercises. Free weight make your muscles work the hardest.3. Focus on form first. Once your form is textbook, piling on the weight would be easy. Don't worry as no one would make fun of you if you're not lifting heavy.4. get enough rest. Muscles grow when you rest, not while you train5. Short, intense cardio is the key to revving up your metabolism. Alternate between a fast walk and a jog for about 10-15 minutes after lifting. Quote Link to comment
JesusFreak! Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 i see snack time as fillers.. kaya i just eat a banana or an apple, then drink green tea (tea bag) para feeling busog... my question is what do you eat when it comes to snacks? what do you eat when your in the mall? i mean what are the "safe" foods to eat? kasi sometimes di talaga maiwasan, pero it makes you less guilty if you know what you ate is kinda "safe". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment
