Trying To Lose Fat And Gain Muscle?
Posted on 12. Jul, 2010 by admin in Man Boob Forum
So I am 6′1, 295, and 24 years old male. I have started going to the gym about a month ago and I am noticing that I am much firmer but not thinner. I work out for a little over an hour five days a week. I do 12 reps and four sets on each machine (not free weighted machine but controlled movement machine:
Pull-down(105lb), Triceps ext (100 lb), Seated Leg Curl (90 lb), seated bicep (65lb), seated shoulder press (35 lb), calf extension (210), abs (50lb 5 sets of 12), Seated leg extension (85 lb), row/rear deltoid (75 lb), pectoral fly (90 lb), hip abduction (180 lb), hip adduction (185 lb, chest press (55), and back extension (150 lb).
I give myself 30-1 min in between each finished set. Like I said, I am just starting and would like to get so advise on what I need to start doing to lose more fat as I get more muscle..
If you know nothing in regards to this subject please refrain from messaging a comment or giving advice.

I used to body build. You need to target the areas in which you want improvement the most and work them harder to get your body more in proportion with regard to muscle/fat ratio. if you are 6′1 and 295, you are likely an Endomorph body style- you gain muscle and fat easily, but it takes a lot of work to lose both. You got the right idea, keep your reps high. 12-15 each set will burn your fat and tone your muscle. One tip that should help is don’t just do 12 and drop it, do as many as you can, if you do more than 15, add weight, less than 12, drop weight, if you are capable of doing a lot more rep than what you are doing, then you workouts will be ineffective especially in regard to burning fat. Lastly, just because you work out more doesn’t mean you should eat a ton, try eating 6 small, healthy meals a day instead of a couple large ones and make sure you are burning more calories than you are consuming. Also, if you do a little light excercise/stretching in the morning right when you wake up, it will increase your metabolism for the entire day, conversely, your metabolism is slow when you are resting or asleep, so don’t eat before bed, the food will sit in your belly and you will absorb much more calories out of it than you otherwise would.
