Losing Weight

[Big_John]

what exactly do you disagree with about the example regimen? there are 2 basic strategies for lifting to get lean 1) lift light to moderate at a high intensity (circuit) to burn calories and improve total body strength 2) lift heavy to increase muscle mass, then taper down to a maintenance routine to keep fit. both work, some people respond better to one or the other, though. unless you're a bodybuilder, heavy all the time is counter-productive.

if you really want to lose fat, you have to add in the cardio too. i knew many guys in college that were big and strong and fat, and as soon as they started running, the fat just melted off. running is pretty much the best thing you can do, but it can be hard on the joints for a big guy (i'm a big man myself, but i've big strong bones and big strong joints).

you might want to look into some form of grappling/boxing/kickboxing. hell of a workout.


edit: oh and try to pay as little attention to the frat boys as possible, in all things.
