If you really want to start gettiing scientific, you should get metabolic assesments to figure out your resting metabolic rate so you know exactly how many calories you need.
And you should also get tested to figure out your aerobic base and anerobic threshold....
then you will truly be working out smarter

My revelation on the gym
Before I stopped working out 3.5 months ago I was getting nowhere, I was being real careful with my diet. I was being all scientific with my workout. Then while I was not working out I was eating healthy but not large amounts of food to keep my weight, but most stayed on I went from 245 down to 225 alot of the weight was honestly fat, my pant size dropped from 38 to 34 and myarms are much more vascular.
Now when I came back to the gym I said screw it im gonna just eat wat I want still carbs in morning and small fats later in the day but I wasnt watching calories but made sure I got my protein, all i eat is steak pork and chicken anyways and hate sugar and salt so basically, it was just eggs, meats, mashed potatoes gallons of milk, and beer on the weekends.
Then for my workout I just do:
Chest and Tris
Upper Back and Bis
off
Lats and Traps
off
repeat
3 exercises just concentrating on getting the biggest pump possible not caring about the weight im doin ,just good form and doing 8-15 reps usually a 8 reps set then 10 rep set then 15 reps. I give little rest and just go non stop through my workout. if i feel like i got a little energy left i will do a final set and just go till failure like a 50 rep killer at the end.
It has been two weeks on this and all I can say is it is giving me awesome results I have lost fat, all my muslces are swollen and that sore feeling I crave is there, and i get an insane pump.
I got on the scale today I am up from 225 to 230 (prolly partially from the food intake increase).
My chest would never grow and I feel it being sore in places it never has the same with my biceps, I dont do legs because my foot has not healed fully yet doc said I should give it a year, I just pedal on the bike for 10 min after each workout, i kno i wrote alot but i just cannot believe how well this is working.
I just feel sometimes we start overthinking this whole game.Tags: None
