I have a few questions to ask all you fitness gurus. Right now I'm 153 lbs, and 5'5. From the side I look like this: [img]http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3609/phatv.png[/img] [i]A little bit of an exaggeration[/i] I don't have a working camera ATM, so yeah. Basically I want to know is: 1.Will Weight lifting help burn away the fat better than cardio? 2.Should I still do cardio along with weight lifting? 3.Will weight lifting help improve my posture? 4.What does a good schedule look like? 5.Is Optimum 100% a good Protein supplement? 6.Is Kre-Alkalyn bad to take if your 16? 7.Will Weight lifting aid in height development? 8.When are you supposed to take protein for optimal results? 9.Would I need to up my caloric intake from 1400 a day? 10.When is the best time to work out?

Out of curiosity, why do you say not right after getting up?
Doesn't really matter. It has logic behind it, but it doesn't really matter. I know enough that disregard that fact, and are huge. Body adjusts to whatever you put him through.
[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;28722593]My goal is to loose body fat and put on muscle.[/QUOTE] you can forget about any major muscle gains ( if any ) while losing fat at your height/weight. focus on cutting down to you can kinda sorta see your abs ( just a general rule) and then bulk
[QUOTE=CANAD14N;28726038]Out of curiosity, why do you say not right after getting up?[/QUOTE] cba to find the study right now but I have read multiple ones that show significant improvement in gains working out not right after waking up as compared to right after waking up
[QUOTE=VQ35HR;28740314]cba to find the study right now but I have read multiple ones that show significant improvement in gains working out not right after waking up as compared to right after waking up[/QUOTE] iirc its related to hydration when speaking physically
[QUOTE=Casusv3;28734250]you can forget about any major muscle gains ( if any ) while losing fat at your height/weight. focus on cutting down to you can kinda sorta see your abs ( just a general rule) and then bulk[/QUOTE] So, first loose fat and then weight lift?
[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;28742656]So, first loose fat and then weight lift?[/QUOTE] yeah eat ~1500 calories and ~100g protein. and dont do tomuch cardio or weights
[QUOTE=Casusv3;28742725]yeah eat ~1500 calories and ~100g protein. and dont do tomuch cardio or weights[/QUOTE] Why not to much cardio? 30 minutes a day 5 days a week, 6km a session is what I'm trying to do.
You'll lose muscle.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;28743130]You'll lose muscle.[/QUOTE] Ok, but 6.5k a day 5 days a week isn't too much right?
[QUOTE=sp00ks;28743130]You'll lose muscle.[/QUOTE] not at all , it has to do with hormones and the mechanisms of fat cells that can slow fat loss / stall it [editline]22nd March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Kel|oggs;28743137]Ok, but 6.5k a day 5 days a week isn't too much right?[/QUOTE] it is

Who said anything about low energy, I run late, and then get lots of sleep. Never got sore from it, never felt tired the next day either.
