Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Keep in mind that as you lose fat, you're gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat so you won't see much change on the scale at first. But because muscle is more compact than fat and takes up less space, you'll also be able to see your body changing and your clothes will fit differently. Do what everyone recommended I do, throw away your scale. Its not an accurate indicator of your progress.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2001 Report Share Posted February 13, 2001 Rob, Don't forget that the first two sets are to get your legs warmed up and are the most critical to avoid injury. I typically will start at 50% of the weight I plan to use on the heaviest set. On all my muscle groups as I became stronger I enlarged the weight spread between my lightest and heaviest set to ensure that first set got the blood flowing to the target muscle group. Have a great lower body workout! Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do feel MUCH better with lots more energy. now I actually feel bad when I have to skip exercising at my normal time...AND I look forward to going to the gym. I'm trying new things and changing the routine of my weight lifting portion to break up the monotony. A bodybuilder guy friend of mine seems to think that Bill's system of increasing your weights and lowering the reps each time is not the way. Has anyone tried just going straight sets...or something different? Is the increased weights the way to go for best results? V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
