Today was the first day of my new workout plan. I am dividing the days into muscle specific workouts and today was shoulders and back day. It went pretty well I could definitely tell that my back got worked, I also did a half hour of stairs afterwards. My diet today was pretty bad, I started...

Hi Michael, thank you for the add! You look great!
Sportsfan1124 [ View Profile ] Jun 30, 2008 7:00am
Thanks man, will do. and just wondering but were you still really lean and somewhat muscular before you started lifting?

Only if it has a progressive program - cycles of getting harder and easier. More like a leg workout than cardio. You have to do it for at least 20 minutes for heart health, then you start burning fat.

Whatever you do, do it in conjunction with your weight training. Muscle burns fat so you get double duty from buiding muscle!

I don't do much cardio other than swimming and bike riding! Most cardio is like running and it's catabolic (muscle wasting) instead of anabolic. High Intensity cardio, like sprints or a progressive program on an elypitcal machine would probably be best! That would burn fat without burning muscle!

Thanks man! You look like you know what you're doing as well! Impressive physique you have there. I'm no expert, but I don't mind giving you my opinion, anytime you think it may help! ~Ray
