This true? Especially the bolded.

"Although any type of execise is beneficial to losing body fat, lifting weight (resistance training) is by far the most important factor for changing body shape. Not only does it help to tone your muscles, (which other forms of exercise doesn't) but plays an integral role in promoting fat loss. The reason for this is that the metabolic properties of muscle tissue. Muscle is the most metabolically active (burns calories) tissue in the body. For each pound of muscle you carrry, you burn an additional 50 calories per day, and you burn these calories on a continual basis even whilst lying on the settee watching the TV.

So if you put on an extra five pounds of lean muscle tissue you would burn an additional 1750 calories per week, regardless of activity level. Assuming that the food intake remained constant, those extra 5lb's of muscle would result in a fat loss of approx 23 lb in one year..!

Also resistance training promotes a significant higher level of calories burnt after training, this is called excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). Even greater than cardio training, with effects lasting for more than 30 hours. So although you may not expend as much energy during exercise performance, weight training allows you to burn a greater amount of body fat in total."
 

I know you detailed a workout for me the other day, but is this a good one too?

Day 1 and Day 4- Chest, Back & Abs

Incline Bench Press: 4 x 8 reps

Pull ups: 4 x 8 reps

Weighted Wide Grip Dips: 3 x 10

Cable Rows: 3 x 10

Hanging Leg Raises: 3 x max reps

Plank: 5 minutes total (as many sets as it takes)

Day 2 and Day 5 – Shoulders, Arms and Intervals


Seated DB Shoulder Press: 4 x 8 reps

Lateral Raises: 3 x 10 reps

Bent Over Rear Delts: 3 x 10 reps

Standing Dumbbell Curls: 4 x 8 reps

Skull Crushers: 4 x 8 reps

HIIT – 30 second sprint on treadmill or bike / rest 90s seconds and repeat for a total of 16 minutes

Optional – 10-20 minutes of steady state cardio (if you need additional fat loss)

Days 3, 6 & 7 = rest days

Especially if I integrate some of your workouts, such as the leg workouts and the declines, etc...
 
The place is called Luzzos, it's between 12th and 13th street, 1st avenue.

You gotta try the Penne Gamberi, it's teh pants :handclap:
 
And by the way, that chick that likes the Devils picked up on that $2 you guys owe, so I call that a victory.
 
Pork belly "cured" for 6 hours, cooked and finished in the oven for 4 hours with all the sweet fat and juices, herbs and spices, salts and sweetness. Pan fried with a earl grey and sage reduction. To go with it is a lovely and balanced pineapple, jicama slaw with micro greens. Also, a purple yam purée mixed with arborio rice and a splash of white wine and mint to balance the overly pallet wrapping heaviness of the purple yam. Lastly, all that sweet juices from the pork belly that's been working up flavors for over 12 hours. A tall glass of coconut water, a glass of sauv. Blanc and a glass of water while watching the third LOTR. Y'all should visit for some home cooking.
 
Breaking Bad is amazing.

No spoilers. I am all caught up to the end thus far. It just gets better and better.

What are you up to?

^Sounds awesome.

I will return shortly with pics of the fresh ham we made for Christmas.

You ever consider picking up P90X or P90X 2?

Seems to fit what you're looking for in that its a good full body program. You won't need more than some dumb bells and a pull up bar.

I would suggest doing half of each workout though, doing the entire program is overkill.

In my opinion of course.

While that's a good idea and all, I'm one of those fools who can't do **** on his own. Cardio, sure, I can run on the treadmill at my house. But weights and all the workouts, I need to do at a gym with my friends there to help and to motivate.

Basically, I need a trainer, but **** that, too expensive, I'll be going to the gym with my friend who's on the football team, he knows all about lifting.

It's also a very doable option because the NYSC in my town does a student special of $20 a month. #cheap
 
Finished Red Dead Redemption and AC Brotherhood. Both endings, I think I'm gonna stay in my home bawling my eyes out for the next few weeks.
