For the past 3 weeks, and for the entire summer for that matter, my goal has been to slim down. So, I've been lifting weights for 45 minutes to an hour 6 days a week, and doing 30-40 minutes of intense cardio the same amount of days.


I hop on the scale after 1 month....and I've gained 8 lbs :happysad:

I've seen huge strides in muscle growth so I know all of that weight is muscle, so I'm not disappointed, but damn I wasn't expecting that.



The End.

If you wanna cut some weight, do just cardio...or more cardio, less lifting.

RB

meh, I like having more muscles, and I'm more about cutting fat than just cutting pounds.

i gain muscle and increase definition the more i do less.

Gee I wonder why?

Could it be because muscle mass weighs more than fat?

RB

gee, could it be? :eek3:

you could probebly do more reps with less weight, that would make you more cut. and still do the same cardio routine that you normally do.

Yeah, muscle is more dense than fat. If you want to lose weight just make sure that you consume fewer calories in a day than you burn. Swimming or running are good ways to drop some bodyfat.

I noticed I gained weight when I was taking weight training, but I did get slimmer. I felt weird, though yeah
