Aerobics For Fat Loss.

[suckmymuscle]

  I have decided to do these "lectures" because I am tired of bodybuilders screwing up their training and then don't understand why they don't gain. I first explained why and how you should split your training http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=390663.0, and now I will explain how you should perform aerobics to maximize fat loss.

  I have seen dudes performing aerobics too fast in the belief that doing it faster burns more calories, and I have seeen dudes barely walking on the belief that slower aerobics maximizes fat burning. Both are wrong.

  Yep, when you run/pedal faster, you do burn more calories for the same amount of time performing an aerobic exercise, but you burn more glycogen than fat. Why? Because fats have to be first broken down and taken to the liver to be convered into ketones by a process called glycogenolosis. This is a slow process. If your run/pedal too fast, there is no time for the body to perform this, so it will resort to the muscles' stored glycogen to get the energy it needs. If you perform aerobics even faster, like if your sprint, there is no time for the body to use even glycogen, so it will use adenosine triphosphate instead. If you walk, you'll always burn fat, but if you walk too slow the amount of fat burned will be very small. The ideal for maximum fat burning is too perform the exercise with an intensity that will be at the very upper rang of using fat as energy right on the edge of where the body starts using glycogen.

  So, as you can see, whether the body uses fat, glycogen or ATP to move depends on how fast you move it. Beneath 65% maximum intensity(walking to fast walking), the body uses fat, between 65% to 90%(running) or so it uses glycogen, and above 90% effort it uses adenosine triphosphate, which can be released as energy immediately.

  To maximize fat burning, find what your 100% maximum sprinting speed and heart rate is, then try to walk at 65% of that speed for as long as you can. At first, you will only be able to handle this for 40 minutes, but eventually you should be able to handle up to two hours. Doing more than two hours of aerobics even at this low intensity increases glucocorticoid levels, so it is not adviced...

What about the thermogenic benefits of boosted metabolic rate after intense anaerobic activity? a la Interval Training for example; I think it has been shown that calorie usage is more important whether you use fat in an aerobic sense or not.

  There is some evidence that performing extremely brutal aerobic exercise, like running at 90% of your sprinting speed for as long as you can, often results in a metabolic rate about 10% greater for a couple hours after you stop doing it than moderate exercise. This is not as effective as performing aerobic exercise at 65% for fat burning for many reasons:

  - The fat burning that you get from a 10% increased metabolism that you get from intense aerobic exercise for a couple hours after you stop training is less than what you gain from performing moderate aerobic.

  - You are not able to perform extremely intense aerobic exercise for long, so the total amount of calories you burn is less than what you burn from a session of moderate aerobic exercise and most of the calories burnt will come from glycogen and not fat.

  - Intense aerobic exercise causes a sharp increase in glucocorticoid levels which hampers fat loss and increases muscle loss.

post up a pic sport.

you've been talking the talk. let's see if you walk it, or if you just another fat windbag who knows everything but looks like shit, much like our own true Adonis and fat panda.

I doubt there is one person on GB whos physical identity being known would bring great pleasure to many other than myself being exposed. in fact ive gone thru great lengths to protect against that. that being said, if you post up a pic, I'll post up mine.

that's how certain I am you are just another internet know it all who in real life looks like shit.

now, kindly fuck off.

  I think that even the picture of the Tsar Bomba, the biggest nuke ever, is not enough to describe the size of this meltdown, but since there is no bigger nuke, I'll post it anyway.

Sorry, SMM, but fats are not broken down by glycogenolysis. Google it if you want.

suckmanmuscle is an idiot. I owned him 2 years ago over the topic of gluconeogenesis.

for a genius he's pretty fucking stupid.

In a thread once this guy "suckmymuscle" kept arguing that its harder to perform decline barbell press than incline.  Anyone with even minimal weightlifting experience knows incline is harder, yet he kept stubbornly arguing against this.  Proof that he does not have much or any weightlifting experience.

  I am sorry. I meant lipolysis. How does this change the validity of my argument   You are missing the forest for the trees.

  No, you didn't. You corrected my spelling. I wrote gluconogenesis instead of gluconeogenesis. Don't be a liar. It doesen't really matter because English is not my first language and yet I committ at least 10 X less spelling mistakes than you. If I am not a genius, then that speaks volumes about how stupid you are since I am clearly smarter than you.

Coach,...would you say that it is a good idea to get a cardio monitor and use it to regulate how hard you work,...gradually increasing the heart rate and length of exercise in small managable bites,...to prevent injury but also to help sustain interest,...if something hurts needlessly it destroys interest in doing the thing.

[GroinkTropin]

I believe there is plenty of evidence that shows the same things- that you need either very moderate or very intense cardio, anything in between is a waste.

I had to drop intense cardio because as a natty my CNS was FRIED after a week of it along with weight training. Not to mention for 6 weeks straight I could not sleep more than an hour or two in a row at night. I suspect increased cortisol being the culprit. Took me almost a week of no cardio and easy lifting to get my body back on track, and I definitely lost muscle in the process.

SMM if I do cardio in the AM fasted, what HR should I shoot for? I like to do about 45 minutes and this does NOT include my warm up and cool down. THose are separate. Also I do like to take a good thermogenic, if that matters.

Would you recommend some BCAA's before doing my AM cardio? Also, to accelerate fat loss, would it be OK to add in a PM session of cardio after I finish my weight training workout?

Lastly, I did a sick hike last sunday up Mission Peak. It's in fremont, ca. You can google. It took me 2.5 hours of steep incline to get up and 50 minutes to get back down. Do you think for a guy dieting to do a show in nov it's cool to do this maybe once a week, or every other week or will I be losing muscle? I was pretty devastated the rest of the day! It was crazy intense. Unsure if it led to fat loss though I suspect it would have to? What do you think? Maybe Coach can chime in.

[GroinkTropin]

When it comes to MAX fatloss, with regard to cardio and weight training- would you think it makes a big difference to not ingest carbs after working out? For example, say I am low carb dieting-take in most of my daily carbs in meals 1 and my pre-workout meal ONLY. Theory being by taking in zero carbs after I lift my body's GH output will be maximized and FFA utilization will be dramatically ramped up. Then when I go to do my fasted cardio next morning, I should be burning MAX bodyfat. You agree/disagree and why?

WTF were you doing for "intense cardio" for it to fry you THAT quickly?!?!?

We make good use of monitors with our fighters we also test for VO2 max in some situations. But in team situations, for obvious reasons it's not feasible. As for gradually increasing, of course EVERYTHING should be done in a progression. Long cardio sessions do very little for fat burning except while doing the exercise, after the exercise ends so does the fat burning not only that it's muscle wasting. Suckmymuscle never defined "aerobic" and I particularly don't think he knows it's an energy system and means 'with oxygen' (physiology 101) so he's using the aerobic word loosely. For bodybuiding purposes, there is no reason to build aerobic capacity, ESPECIALLY FOR NATTYS, too much research out there that shows intense intervals is not only muscle sparring but fat burning even after the exercise has stopped.
