Cutting and Cardio...

Not full of it, just love the amusement from these sort of threads. Reminds me of the chav at the gym who thinks he knows what he's doing. It's not boring, I've spoken to powers and had a laugh about it, I am simply admiring the lack of intelligent responses in here. Why does that make me a troll.
You're a troll because you know jack **** about the various discussion topics you "contribute" to.

Urbandictionary:
1. troll
One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

You offered no opinion on the topic, and only posted to say that you disagree with others. Ergo, troll.

disagree? i said they're are a lack of educated responses answering the OPS question.
 
Some kind of attitude problem?



Some fat loss fundamentals:

1) You want to consume as many calories as possible while still losing weight.

2) Weight loss faster than a certain rate is going to come from lean tissue, so there isn't any point in going for a huge calorie deficit.

3) Cardio is only another tool to increase your calorie deficit, but it isn't a very reliable variable to introduce because your body develops efficiencies and progressively burns less for the same amount of work.


Also, OP, if your deadlifting and squatting 150kg then either you are squatting high or there is something wrong with your deadlift.

My squat must be high, my form is fine on both, iv tried and failed twice in the last 2 weeks at 160kg dead :(, my 150kg squat wasn't as deep as id liked but my 140kg was.

My calorie intake will be quite high because I will be training around 10 times a week, but will still be a lot less than when I was bulking.

For my weights I will be staying at the top end of hypertrophy reps with reduced rest. I will still have one heavy chest and leg session per week too.

To have "my squat must be high" and "my form is fine" in the same sentence is a little concerning. I rarely consider my form to be good enough and I coach other people how to lift. Set a higher standard for yourself. If you're really honest, was that 140kg squat as deep as you could go?

It sounds like you haven't actually counted your calories, change this. Understand that there really aren't any short cuts here, and smashing yourself with cardio doesn't make up for not putting the time into the boring parts of sorting out your diet.

Why are are you doing high ish reps with short rests? That sounds a lot like a circuit, which is just more cardio. You can see where I'm going with this...

Ice, I get that you know what you are talking about.
However in the past my best weightloss has come when I am involving some level of cardio combined with eating correctly.
I do understand fully what you are saying however and you will regularly find me telling people that a 6-pack is made in the kitchen not the gym.
However, what I think what you need to realise is that most people don't understand what you understand and therefore telling them that no cardio is required is not the right way to go about things. I mean technically you are right BUT people are not strict enough with themselves and lack the discipline required to lose fat by diet alone.

I personally am guilty of this, I can lose weight with diet only and have proven this to myself, however I found I had better results when I bought at least some level of cardio into my regime. I also found with cardio involved for some reason I was stronger mentally and able to resist temptation when it came to eating crap.
At present I have a lower back injury which is preventing me from doing much cardio (going to try swimming this week) and the results speak for themselves, I have gained weight (and lots of strength due to excess food too :D)
 
Doesn't weight training involve intensely stimulating the cardiovascular system anyway?:confused: If I've done a squat/deadlift etc workout then I feel like I've had a great cardio workout aswell as resistance workout. Used to do loads of 7/8k runs, I do these only very occasionally nowadays, but I've found the resistance training keeps me cardiovascularly fit enough to have no problem with an 8k+ run when ever I feel like it. May not run for weeks but when I do I find I haven't lost any cardio fitness.

Stripping body fat is IMO entirely diet related, it's about tracking cals and learning how much food you need to gain/lose, it can be a fine line and 2-300 cals either way can make all the difference. Once you've tracked and monitored for a few months you'll have a great feel for what your body needs and you'll pretty much be able to manipulate your weight with much less obsessive weighing of food portions etc. Definitely worth a few months of diligance though because you'll learn a hell of a lot in that time about your calorie/energy requirements.
