Today threw me off a little bit. Friends gave me a heads up that Jim Simons from RenTec would be on "Fast Money". So I rearranged my work out so that I could watch this show while doing the treadmill. The "interview" was in pieces and I ended up about 40 minutes on the treadmill, ten minutes longer than normal on a lifting day. Burned about 265 calos. This cut into my lifting time so I only did about 20 minutes of lifting today. Who is that guy with the shadow goatee on Fast Money? Get ready, put on your seatbelt, high 179!!! Oy heah baby! I lost the 8 :eek: I am actually not sure whether to be proud or not anymore. Makes me think that my cardio workout is more intense than my lifting, since in theory anyway as I understand it, I can't really lose weight if I am putting on muscle. As my Jamaican friend would say, whatever, Mon.
No pain, no gain. In the sense that if you're not experiencing DOMS, you're not working hard enough at your level of fitness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_soreness
I don't have this DOMS at all -- yet I am getting bigger, stronger and leaner This is for muscles -- muscles don't equal strength..... My body is looking like Bruce Lee....
To avoid adaptation and continue inducing micro-trauma => DOMS (that's one theory) you need to increase the load otherwise you'll find that your initial gains are just due to your previous decondition i.e. beginners luck and you will plateau soon enough. Also note that protein availability is often the limiting factor in muscle hypertrophy so if you are losing more fat weight than you are gaining muscle weight this may be a factor. How much protein are you consuming and when (in relation to your w/o)? However, now that your program has changed you should probably stop looking at your weight completely and focus on your next bf% reading.
Are you regularly doing 30 minutes cardio just before lifting? Is this what your trainer recommended?
