Exercise: Building Muscle Mass to Burn More Calories

"Can I lift heavy weights and build muscle mass while I'm losing weight and doing a lot of cardio?"


Hi Dean,

Absolutely, you can lift heavy weights and build muscle mass while you're losing weight and doing a lot of cardio. In fact, building muscle mass can help you lose weight FASTER.

Imagine that your body is a house. Your muscles are the foundation, your fat is the insulation, and your cardio is the heating system.

If you're just focusing on cardio exercises, it will be like heating your house by turning up the thermostat without having any insulation. It takes too much energy and lose too much heat.

Building muscle mass can help you lose weight faster in a few ways:

  • Muscle cells burn more calories than fat cells, EVEN AT REST.
  • When you lift weights, you create microtears in your muscle fibers. Your body repairs these microtears, which burns calories.
  • Lifting weights helps to boost your METABOLISM, which is the rate at which your body burns calories.

Here are some tips for lifting weights and building muscle mass while losing weight:

  • Focus on compound exercises, such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and rows. These exercises work multiple muscle groups at the same time, which is more efficient for building muscle mass.
  • Lift heavy weights for 8-12 repetitions per set.
  • Take 1-2 minutes of rest between sets.
  • Eat a healthy diet that is high in protein.
  • Get enough sleep.

If you follow these tips, you will be able to build muscle mass and lose weight at the same time.

Conclusion:

Lifting weights and building muscle mass is a great way to lose weight and improve your overall health. It is also a great way to improve your athletic performance.

EXERCISE: Gym Workouts Aug.28, 2023 - Plank Ab Crunches

Hi friends, Happy to share with you another view of my working on those Plank Ab Crunches with my son.  It involves hooking my legs onto hanging ropes, with my hand in a resting plank position. Then my legs will crunch up to my abs. It strengthens my core and abs in the process. Here's the video: Each set last for 1 minute, then rest for 20 secs. Then repeat 3 more times. The first time I ever did it, I couldn't keep it up even 2 reps without resting immediately after. My knee surrender easily, and my breathing was heavy.  But I kept on pushing those baby steps, every time. Now I can carry out the motion without much difficulty. It built up my core and my abs. I'm proud to be doing it with and setting up an example for my son. Thanks for your attention. Gary

EXERCISE: Pull-Ups - The Ultimate Upper Body Exercise (But Not the Only One) Dear friend, Pull-ups are often hailed as a fantastic upper body exercise, but are they truly a full upper body workout?  Well, the short answer is, yes. They do engage a significant portion of your upper body muscles, making them a valuable addition to your exercise routine. However, like most things in life, the devil is in the details, and if you're looking for a comprehensive upper body workout, there's more to consider.

Additionally, your biceps, forearms, and shoulders are also heavily involved during the exercise. So, it's evident that pull-ups provide substantial benefits for these muscle groups, making them a great upper body exercise. However, for a complete upper b

EXERCISE: Chest, Shoulders & Triceps - The Ultimate Guide to Building a Sculpted Upper Body Sure. Let's talk about the nitty-gritty of these exercises: Bench Press Shoulder Press Triceps Extensions (Visit: fit40strong.com ) The Bench Press Ballet: Bench pressing is your golden ticket to building a broad and powerful chest . It primarily targets your pectoral muscles but also works your triceps and shoulders . However, to ensure equal growth in all three areas, you must vary your grip width. A wider grip emphasizes the chest, a narrower grip targets the triceps, and a neutral grip focuses on the shoulders. (Visit fit40strong.com ) Rotate these grips to hit all the right spots. Shoulder Press Sensation: Shoulder presses are fantastic for developing those boulder-like deltoids. But remember, it's not just about the press itself; it's the variations that matter.
