No offense, but that's simply not true. I once lost 40lbs in 2 1/2 months from running 5 miles(1100 burn cals) on the elliptical alone.. Went from 28 bf to 18 bf.
5 miles per day

how many times per week?

I gained it back cause I got complacent. My ego got big from the love I was getting and stopped doing what I was doing previously.
i want it to be known that doing cardio isnt "bad" by anymeans and it creates a deficit
it just doesnt preserve muscle, so using it in place of lifting doesnt work
if you lift and can still do cardio do so
the issues to be careful of is overestimating how much of a deficit your cardio creates and then end up "eating out of it" and not being in a deficit at all(which is common)
id assume the minimum calories burned during cardio sessions and never go over a 300-500 cal dietary deficit
lifting still constant
if you want exact results, follow an exact method
find your maintenance(as little activity as possible)
subtract 500 from it, eat that with atleast your LBM in protein everyday(IE 140-160g)
lift 3 times a week
guaranteed to lose 1lb or more a week
the better your lifting, and progression the more likely you are to keep muscle or even gain some if you are new
5 miles per day
how many times per week?![]()
I was doing mon-fri. It really helps when you got to a gym with fine women there.
I would spend the max amount of time on the elliptical (70mins) on like lvl 17.
And my goal would be to burn at least 1k cals.
I think I was only eating like 1300 cals a day.

I have the same exact body type as Daniel Cormier. Same height and everything.
My LBM is 187 and I plan on getting there by February 17. I'll have to lose like 15lbs a month
I just realize that if you have the opportunity to get in the best shape of your life, why not do it?
I quit smoking weed last week cause I'm serious. that's what primarily made me gain all that weight in the first place.
yeah i feel you
i feel the same, i have the opportunity to get in shape, why am i being lazy?
if i was in a wheelchair, id be like
andat your loss, get job.
im smoking tonight lol but i quit drinking, fast food, fried food, candy, etc for this reason alone
i do have cheat days once in a while and it feels![]()
but what is "maintenance"
cals per day?
I think I need like 3200...according to an online calculator.
i dont know my LBM but im going to a free personal trainer session and they should help me with all of that
3200
15 pounds a month is going to be tough over the holidays very, is that realistic @Drigo?

What's wrong with that?![]()
the guy in that pic might have 160 LBM at most
187 LBM would be indicative of a NFL defensive end![]()
Is that a good thing?
Guess I could never be a skinny nikka
I've always been stocky with broad shoulders. I'm 5'9 with a 6'4 wingspan
i think 187 would put me @ 3% BF right?
