Title: The "fat is common" issue again.
Post by: HowieW on October 04, 2006, 01:29:41 PM
I know this was in a previous thread about recent pics posted here at get big.
I think it is all too common for many bodybuilders type now, to look big at any cost.
As for me I am starting to drop now, I don't like being this big aka bulky aka fat.
Sure I look massive in clothes , but I feel like a bloated whale LOL.

Who is with me on the trip to lean land?

No! I really do need both. I agree however, that diet is the BIG issue to get lean.

Just accept it guys. When im fat im happy ;D. It just feels so good. Although my offseason diet is pretty anal, im not too afraid to deviate from it in order to eat some feel good food. Peanut butter and jelly sandwhichs, YES !!!!!! But when its time to get serious (pre contest) balls to the wall. Keto high all day, mellow and shit, moody and fucking cravings!!!! But if you wanna be take the overall, you cant fuck around.

What?  Speak on this or link me.  ???

With a good diet and training you can minimize your need for cardio.
But its still will help ALOT ,Fagonis didn't read about how cardio effect your metabolism for days after a session.

He should come to the hardcore board and get whooped with some real research material.

That is another myth.

Critiques
When generalized fitness is a professional operational requirement, as for athletes, combat services, police and fire personnel, aerobic exercise alone may not provide a well-balanced exercise program. In particular, muscular strength, especially upper-body muscular strength, is usually neglected. Also, the metabolic pathways involved in anaerobic metabolism, glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation, are not exercised at peak rates, and these are important for peak performance of many tasks. Aerobics is, however, an extremely valuable component of a balanced exercise program.

Some persons suffer repetitive stress injuries with some forms of aerobics and then must choose less-injurious, "low impact" forms.

Aerobics notably does not increase the resting metabolic rate as much as some forms of weight-training, and may therefore be less effective at reducing obesity.  However, this form of exercise also allows for longer, more frequent activity and consumes more energy when the individual is active. If one wants to lose fat, the most efficient way to do this (according to some scientists), is by executing prolonged exercises when feeling weak and hungry (while being careful not to go too far).

[edit]
Commercial success
Aerobic exercise has long been a popular form of weight loss and physical fitness, often taking a commercial form.

Tennis and jogging gained prominence and popularity in the 1970s
Judi Sheppard Missett largely helped create the market for commercial aerobics with her Jazzercise program in the 1970s
Richard Simmons hosted an aerobic exercise show on television, beginning in the 1980s, and continued with A variety of exercise videos.
Billy Blanks's Tae Bo helped popularize cardio-boxing, workouts that used martial arts movements in the 1990s
The Nia Technique, also called Neuromuscular Integrative Action, was developed in the 1980s as a form of "non-impact" aerobics (the original words in the acronym). In the 1980s, impact injuries and "no pain no gain" attitudes came to dominate traditional aerobics classes. By contrast, the Nia Technique is based on "the body's way" -- moving with ease and pleasure, to follow a personal journey to not only physical but also mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness.

Cardio is great fun and good for your heart - why wouldn't you do it? Cardio doesn't mean you have to march on a treadmill or bore yourself stupid on a stepper. I incorperate thai boxing, bike riding and badminton into my bodybuilding. I love feeling fit and healthy. People that don't do cardio are lazy. They should be shot.

Obviously you didn`t read.

IT is somehwhat of a myth that Cardio does anything to metabolism.

Weight training will do the same.  There is not much noticeable difference in Metabolic levels when doing cardio.

Um, YOUR article says it effects the metabolism. Who said that weight training didn't? No noticeable difference? And you used to do track? So you're saying your heartrate doesn't change and that you don't sweat and burn more calories than you would, say, sitting there posting on the boards for an hour while eating ice cream? ::)

Burning calories through exercise and RMR are two different animals.

Doing Cardio and Weight Training give about the same benefit on Metabolism which is not much at all.

I choose to do weights and no cardio as doing cardio will have no added effect.

Wow. Just wow. Think before you post, it'd save you a lot of trouble. Do you just enjoy being totally wrong, or do you have some kind of OCD where you can't help being wrong all the time?
