Muscle mass burns calories, the more hard, dense muscle tissue you have, the more calories you burn over time.

So yes, over a span of 45 minutes, you will burn more calories doing 20 rep sets, but will get almost zero actual muscle growth. Where as somebody training with lower reps with intention of building muscle (not talking bodybuilder hu8geness), will burn much, much more calories over the course of the day than the person doing the high reps.

That said, rider, switching your routine will do that to your body. Its not good to fall into the same workout for months on end. 6 weeks is about the max length you should keep one routine, as your body becomes used to it and stops growing because its accustomed to the strain your putting on your body.

Its more complicated than that, but I dont have time to go into protein synthesis and macrobolic nutrition. And you'd be bored to tears trying to read it, because you probabl;y dont care anyway.
Yeah I'm just trying to cut up now. Probably do this for a month or so, then go back to building muscle. Right now I'm not very defined, just bulky. That's why I cut back on the carbs/sugar. As soon as I go back on carbs I'll try out this throwback Pepsi.

Thanks dudes!

Ya, if we had a fitness forum, i'd help out more over here. But I dont wanna fill Off Topic with fitness crap noone cares about.

But yes, I do know my shit. Fitness is very complicated. The more I get back into it, the more i realize how much I missed it.

I am addicted to the throwback pepsi. It tastes better, IMO

I'll give it a try, just cause I want to see what it tastes like, but then I'm done with soda again. Water or milk only, with a few beers here and there.

Yeah, I had gained a bunch of weight several years back. Did nothing more than cut out soda and lost a lot of it real quick. Need to get my ass to the gym this time, though.

I'd be very interested in reading some of that material. Any links? Right now, I'm a fat skinny dude. 5'7, and 145 pounds, but probably 25% body fat. If I were to start working out and get the body fat down, I'd be about 125 pounds. Ideally, I'd like to be about 150, with 10-15% body fat, preferrably closer to the 10 mark. What tips do you have for me?

Dad? are you here somewhere hiding?

Did a gun go off?

I can't tell the difference between coke and sprite(except the appearance) so I doubt I'll notice the difference between sugar and corn syrup.

Being in Michigan you should know ...............I grew up there, and all of us said pop. "Soda" was only spoken by East Coasters. As for Southerners, they called everything "Coke" even if it was Sprite or Mt Dew. Yeah that made sense.

I have cut most pop out of my diet. Exception is when it is mixed into my Rum or Whiskey.
