Thoughts on Hydroxycut?

[chunkybs]

exactly, short rest periods = lifting and cardio at same time.

this is what i've been doing, as much weight as i can lift. usually doing 4 or 5 different machines at a time, 5 reps each, then cardio for 10 min or so then hit the machines again. i keep going on the weights until i physically can not lift the weight anymore.

If I shredded off 25 pounds I would be happy

i'd like to cut 40-50lbs.

I did 1-2 body parts a day.
Week one 100% 4-6 reps
Week two 40% 10-12 reps
week three 80% 6-8 reps
week four 60% 8-10 reps

Every month move up the weight. This workout work well for me.

Do it every week!!!!

i was doing the most weight i could but then today i tried doing half the weight and 20 reps instead of 5 reps, i could feel it a lot more than i could the heavier weight and 5 reps.

so what you guys are saying is that i'm better off doing more weight and less reps to bulk up faster?

i look at it like this bro.

muscle burns fat.
lower to moderate reps and heavy weight builds muscle.
build muscle, burn fat in that area. lower weight for high reps doesnt build muscle. it might help with your muscle endurance or shape your muscle, but it wont build muscle.

Each pound of muscle burns between 30-50 calories a day

when i get out of work i usually come home, eat half my dinner, the carbs (baked potato, mac & cheese, apple, ect) then go work out, then when i get home i'll have my protein (chicken breast, steak, lean ground beef.) then shower and off to bed. wake up, work (shipping so i'm lifting 20-50lb boxes all day) then start over. sound about right or should i change something?

So... You are trying to lose fast and gain muscle? The only reason I ask is because when you balk you don't care about being lean.

well i'm 6'1" and 265ish so in my mind i think i need to cut SOME weight, but then again if it was less fat and more muscle then i think i would be ok with it lol.

breakfest and lunch Protein, Complex Carb and some kind of fat.

Snacks should be fruits, yogerts and ect. remember snacks are to be small meals.
Dinner Protein, Fibrous Carb and some kind of fat.
late night do not eat 2 hours before bed and make your last meal a cup of Cottage cheese or protein shake with milk.

If you do 5-6 meals and eat clean you'll see the weight fall off. Make sure you don't go hungry and watch you portion size. Also if you dont drink a gallon of water a day you are dehydrated
