Wrong

Many people mistakenly believe that using higher reps will burn away the fat in a specific area. It won’t! Weight training is an anaerobic activity and does not directly burn fat. The sole purpose of weight training is to stimulate muscular development and this is best achieved through heavy training in a 4 to 6 repetition range.

The best way to decrease your body fat is to monitor your caloric intake and cardiovascular activity. The bottom line is you need to expend more energy (calories) then you are consuming.

Reducing body fat takes time and discipline. There are no short cuts other than adhering to a precision nutritional schedule and working hard on a consistent basis.

Using higher reps to achieve greater definition is not good strategy. In fact, it is counterproductive to your overall goal. If you lower your calories, increase your cardio, and lighten up on your weights you are setting yourself up to lose precious muscle. Losing muscle is obviously not desirable and will lower your metabolic rate hindering your fat loss.

If you continue to train heavy while on restricted calories you will keep stimulating muscle growth. After all, your goal should be to stimulate muscular development every time you grab a weight, especially as a contest is approaching.

Why the hell would you buy weight gainer? Get rid of that shit. You need to go on a calorie defecit that isn't going to throw your body into starvation mode, rendering any carbs or fat you consume to be stored.

1) Get educated about losing weight
Diet

Read this first Diets

This will give you a rough idea of what foods are “good” vs. “bad.” Though these are not really absolutes. Ideally you want to be eating “clean" meaning things that are good for you and your body can use to make muscle (chicken breast with no skin instead of pizza, cutting out refined sugars/gross carb stuff, etc ). Also it is very important to drink plenty of water throughout the day, forget the sodas.

Next figure your maintence calories:

Go to body fat calculator and figure up you body fat percentage (ignore the rest for now).

[RMR (Resting metabolic rate) X Activity Factor] + Thermic Effect of Food= Maintenance Calorie Intake
{[10 x (LBM in lbs) + 500] X Activity Factor} + (TEF)

Where RMR = 10 x (LBM in lbs) + 500

And Activity Factors =
1.2-1.3 for Very Light (bed rest)
1.5-1.6 for Light (office work/watching TV)
1.6-1.7 for Moderate (some activity during day)
1.9-2.1 for Heavy (labor type work)

TEF (thermic effect of food)= 10-15% X RMR


so 150 lbs of lean body mass for a moderately active person = [10 x 150 + 500] X 1.6 + .10(10 x 150 + 500) = 3400 calories

If you are cutting you should intake about .85 X your maintence calories or 2890 in the example above.

Your protien intake should be around 1.5 grams per lb of lean body mass. For the above example this would be 225g per day.

You protien and calories for the day should be split into 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. Each meal should have some protein.

To key to getting your diet fixed, is preparation. If you have lots of good food sitting around and no shitty food, you’ll be less likely to eat shitty food.
2) Do not cut less than 500 Calories below your maintenance level. The more you starve yourself the harder it will be to lose the weight.

READ: The Winning Formula - Part 2 - How to manipulate diet and exercise to look good naked.

3) If you don't already have a gym membership, get one.

4) Go to www.fitday.com or www.itrainharder.com and begin tracking your diet.

5) There is NO MAGIC PILL OR POWDER. It is going to take a long time to make progress, don't get discouraged by setbacks, only try harder. Also, do your research on anything you're thinking of buying and don't get taken by commercials or magazines.

Good supplement sites:

Oops, with all the weight loss conversation going on, I guess I got carried away.


Calories – you should be eating at least 6 times a day every 2-3 hours. A rough example would be 7:00am, 10:00am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, and 10pm. if you need to track your calories, check out www.fitday.com

Want to know how much cals you should take in? - http://www.johnberardi.com/articles/...sseating_1.htm

pretty good excel spreadsheet -
http://home.socal.rr.com/aznthug/Cal...Calculator.zip

At the end of a week, you should assess your gains, and then see the gains in muscle, weighed against the gains (if any) in fat.

1)If you did not gain any weight, then increase your calories by 500 for the next week.
2)If you gained mainly muscle, then you would keep your calories the same for the next week.
3)If you gained some muscle, but some fat as well, you should cut
calories by 250 for the next week (so it would still be 250 calories above their starting caloric intake).
4) On a week to week basis, if progress slows down, then you would repeat process number 1

How much Protein/Carbs/Fat?

It all depends on you how much protein, carbs, and fat you want. Some people like to bulk with 30/50/20 p/c/f while other people like to bulk with 50/30/20 p/c/f, find what works for you.
