so what's your weigth before your previous workout plan and your weight when you started this plan? im assuming youve been doing this for some time edi

ouh and pm me ur picture, urious to see ur progress.

That seems fair enough since I don't wanna post them on this forum. Alright I'll pm you the links to my before and after pics

Before my old workout, I was 65 kilos, after that I gained about 6-7 kilos. 72kg now.
I admit that the 7 kilos I've gained is not pure muscle mass, which is why I'm doing my daily cardio. I hope that answers your earlier question.

Oh and this workout journal I'm currently using I've been doing it for a little over a month already, I'll pm you the link for my one month progress pic as well

Cardio if done properly with the correct amount of volume and intensity helps with muscle retention. Just don't over do it.

How much would be the right amount of cardio and how much would be overdoing it?

Sorry, but I guess I gotta start controlling how much i run so I gotta ask XD

That's alotta abs.

I think that's gotta be the most flexible part of my workout. But yeah, if you want your quick 6-packs, follow my routine. 2 days, then rest, then work it out for another 2 days.

It helps if you already have that abs frame but can't seem to get the packs out.

If you have a flabby stomach, then I suggest that you stick to doing sit ups until your abs are strong enough. This should take less than a month.

After that, this routine does wonders; you can get your 6 pack in 2 weeks.

Hey, i would like to ask, does body building or muscle building will increase the body`s weight?

Sacrifices made on the ab department to get a better squat and bench.

I'll get them back eventually, but I'm more concerned about hitting my goals on squats.

It all depends on your diet.

I'd say the more protein you take in a day, the bigger your muscles will become but also the more weight you'd gain. On the flipside, if you do an appropriate amount of cardio, you will gain more muscle mass than fatty weight.

Why did you have to sacrifice your abs?

Food, eat, a lot

That is all. They're still there but not superduperawesomeabs.

mofonyx,

Squat is one of the good exercises for ur abs. U do need to train it in order to be better at squat. That goes for ur lower back as well ~!

All ab exercises do is to build ur abs and strengthen them. In order for them to be visible, u need to lower ur bodyfat%. It doesnt matter how much/heavy ab routines u do in a week, you gotta have a great(good just wont do) diet plan for 6/8 packs.

Thanks for the concern. What I was saying is that I'm fatter than I would normally be.

Thanks for the tip, mate.

Edit: As of today, my abs are much much more defined and while I still use the same abs workout, your tip has been very beneficial to me. Thank you.

yo sifu, quick question, just joined gymto lose fats, should i be concerned with reducing fats alone, or building muscle while reducing fats?

I would encourage you to lose as much weight as you can before trying to put on muscles, but do some light weightlifting exercises to get your body ready for the real rigorous stuff you're going to do when you feel that you've burned enough fat and want to start packing on the muscle already

If you were on clean diet, I think the fats will be burned on it's own and lean muscle can be gain, just keep working out. That's what I'm doing, you don't have to get cut in order to gain muscle. But if you're too fat, that's a different story.

thebassist, the guy on your avatar looks insanely ripped. Is that you? If it is, salute to u man...

Eh i thought that's Brad Pitt. Its you? lol

Dude u still into seduction? Been sarging alot lately?

Oh that's brad pitt a? I dunno lah haha. Damn no wonder chicks are throwing themselves at him all the time. Jealous.

Thanks for that, right now I'm just trying to buff up a little bit more. Shouldn't be too hard since I stopped for 2 months from mid-December to mid-February, so I've been back on track for nearly a month now.

Let me ask you, do you think you can get cut and gain muscle mass at the same time? (Yes/No/Not easy)

Haha, I wish it was me. But I'm getting there man XD

Man I've been out of the game for nearly a few months now. It was fun for a while, but since I have a girlfriend the excitement just died down around the same time that this sense of why-the-hell-am-i-even-doing-this came along.

However, every now and then I like to teach a friend (who's probably down on his luck in that department) the rules of the trade and show him that looks have never mattered. I like using that as the base for my "teachings" because I'm ugly as fuck.

Anyway, why're you even asking these kinda questions in my workout journal, mate? Send me a pm la XD
