Thread: Work out advise

1. both, even if ur abs are well developped, they will never pop thru unless u are lean as a result of diet.
2.I think that U should work on building muscle but throw in cardio exercise in your target heart rate range to trigger fat loss...Adding muscle will speed up ur metabolism, accelerate fat loss and tone up ur body...
3. I personal y think 2 hours is a long time....I do around 9 sets per bodypart but others with much more expertise may tell u otherwise.

"Crazy Enough" gives good advice in these forums... My advice is the following: you can't bulk up without getting some fat - and it usually accumulates (for men) in the abs. The reason being - if you want to get big (muscle-wise) you have to eat more, and I mean in excess. The pros will weigh 285lbs to 300 in the offseason, and then slim down to 230 to 250 for show - just to show you that bodybuilders carry a lot of fat at times during the year. Now, if you're eating right then the fat you're gaining won't be too hard to lose.

What I do is eat nutrionally correct. But, I do between 21 to 25 sets per bodypart and I work each bodypart once per week (arms are separate) - I also deadlift and squat. I'm able to maintain a 6' height and 220 lbs of weight without a belly - and I accredit this to a high set/high rep workout. I eat right and work hard for about 1.5 hours in the gym about 4 times a week.

Excellent feed back. I will be doing my chest and shoulders tomorrow :-). Can't wait.

Thanks for the feed back.

WOW 21-25 sets per body part. If i were to put up a training workout like that everyone would telll me I'm overtraining! Feedback please.
