QUOTE(playerseeker @ Feb 16 2012, 02:30 PM) yea...maybe can tell us the plan? Playseeker, want to ask you something. I know carrying weights is fine but not too crazy, like heavy heavy ones right? As long as I maintain my diet, my arms would eventually lose the fat, and more muscle right. My friend told me that its alright for girls to carry weights as it won't get bigger and bigger because they lack in the testosterone, which men have. Can you clarify this for me? Added on February 16, 2012, 1:36 pm Yea, this is the most common mistake or misconcept by alot of female out there where they think that taking weight can make them look muscular like those body builder. They only opt for cardio...hmm....sometime i told few of my female friends that they need to do weight training to lose fat, they just gave me the i remember watching victoria fashion show (i forgot which year but the performance artist is black eyed pea) and they showed the behind the scene where the new candidate for victoria's new angel work out in the gym. Some of them even cried because it was too hard and i remember the trainer shouted at them saying something like "do you think it is easy to get such body to walk on the runway?"...girls should watch that so that they know it is not as easy as ABC to get such tonned body... |

Can you clarify this for me? what you mean by heavy weight though? As far as I know, if you take something like 70% of your lifting limits, a lot of reps in one set, you wont be able to bulk but you are able tone up your body. And yea, it is definately alright for girls to carry weights, don't worry..please proceed with weight training Do correct me if i have any mis-info here. I just share what I know |

I'm saying lifting at 60 to 70% of your lifting weight, so if those bars are more than your limit, then you go for ligther weight. It doesnt mean that without taking the bar that is not weight training. Don't go follow those others. You should have your own training program though |

So Almond94, you don't need to worry about getting big as mentioned by darklight, diet dictates how bulked up you are.
Please don't be afraid to do weight training now |

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Feb 16 2012, 09:14 PM) Agreed. Actually more about cal in cal out. If objective is for fat loss (I'm not talking about weight loss), cal deficit and some intense cardio will do the job pretty well. QUOTE(mycoach @ Feb 17 2012, 12:06 AM) yes, why not? Your "blink" is too shock & hard to believe to be true or too good to be true? Sorry to ask what sort of specific scale? Assuming the variants are BF & Lean Mass, as far as I know, no specific scale can just measure lean mass. Normally it checks the BF, then by reverse calculation to check mass increment. Please enlighten, thanks.LoL! There is this specific scale that used to measure before and after. |
