you what mate

[djbmc]

been upping the cardio and cutting down on the beer/cheese/fatty sh*t in the run up to the holiday at the end of august, anyone got any tips on how best to spend my allotted 20 mins of cardio?

[JayB]

i would say do 20-30 mins steady state either first thing in the morning before breakfast (some people claim it burns muscle but I drop weight doing it) or doing it straight after weight training as your glycogen levels are depleted after weight training.

[djbmc]

yeh i normally do it after weights, but i just sort of go on the stair machine and select "fat burner" option, i'm sure there's more effective techniques i could use to make my time more efficient.

HIIT

[JayB]

HIIT for sure - fat burning options on cardio machines are a waste - get on a cross trainer or a rower or bike (dont do treadmill as you cant increase and decrease the speeds quick enough without hitting the buttons) go 20 seconds as hard as you can followed by 40 seconds of slow pace. Do it for 10 minutes then add a minute each session and build up to about 20 mins.

safe, that doesn't sound too bad, i'll give it a go, 10 mins? is that all? or should i repeat on more than one machine?

have alook through this mate http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ultimate-8-week-hiit-for-fat-burning-program.htmli said 10 mins as a starter as its hard - if you feel you can go longer you can.

Been doing this 4 days a weekhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpqwmjXUeQ8started doing 3 sets, now doing 5, then a doing 5 minutes of squats, and then a few crunches/sit ups until failure. Been doing this now for 3/4 weeks, toned up massively, 6 pack is clearly visible, arms getting firm, improvement in chest area, just generally good upper body improvement. Been eating well and trying to atleast drink two lucozade sized bottles of water a day. Haven't really drunk a lot of alcohol during either.Tbh in my case it was alot easier as my body fat was really low when I started.

just what u said a few posts back, 40 seconds steady speed, 20 second sprint for 10 mins on the cross trainer, i think i had it on lvl 8, so i'll up it to 11 minutes next time i try it. i haven't really read thru that routine properly yet but i'll have a look when i get some time.

training to muscle failure everytimewhat are your thoughts please

[Guest M12 Part 2]

You can go through periods of it but don't do it forever. Stressin your body like that isn't the best way to train. You will start to feel tired and burned out quickly. I suppose it might be ok for smaller muscle groups. Bit I you went to failure everytime on squats forbexample. You'd be burned out fast.

Bicep curls in the power rack/squat rack...f*ck OFFFFGeneral progress though, Seeing good progress these days. Weight is constantly increasing. Just need more discipline in my diet.

[JayB]

Whats EPH?

i think is Ephedrine. Stay away from it. Its banned in the UK without a prescription. Its used for fat burning i think.

[HangTheDJ]

OK cool, was speaking to some guys about it, they said it'll strip the fat off you and it's just caffeine really. I was a thinking
