Losing Weight using weightlifting
-
Many people here suggest Weightlifting over jogging, But now the problem is.. Would a simple hand dumb bell do? Made of concrete and definitely heavier than 5 kg
If everyday each hand do 1/2 hour, Would that actually be more effective than distance jogging?
Just pulling up to chest then down again -
If I am not wrong, you will gain weight. Muscles weigh more than fats.

common sense mah, weight lifters and runners which 1 has lower fat %? -
If working, no time to go jogging how? But during working got sweat quite a lot ah because hot. Can still lose weight or not? Anyway, how to lose the area near the tummy hah? SO to make the abs more visible. Do crunches can feel the abs develepoed already but the fats around tummy makes it less visible leh..

dun giv that workin no time excuse...its up to u lo. Dont tell me you cannot spar 30mins of your time which you would waste watching tv and eating crap. Anyways you cannot select certain spots to lose weight...have you seen people with six pacs but fat chubby arms and neck? the answer is noOriginally posted by dinky1409:If working, no time to go jogging how?

i say stop worrying about sit ups and crunches if u juz wanna see the abs. i dont do crunches or any ab exercise and i still have a decent 6 pac.
btw, sweating doesnt make u lose any fat. it only makes u lose water. u lose fat when u exercise and u breath heavily -

cardio sheds fats, weightlifting builds muscle and muscle increases metabolism which increases fat burning.
So i suggest a combination of BOTH, but dont just work on bicep curls, work on legs as well.
Because if you just have bicep muscles, its not a lot of muscle.Therefore you wouldnt be able to burn fat as fast as compared to one who has arms and legs muscle etc etc.
there are also much better ways to work your biceps using more compound movements rather than isolated movements.You can try curl grip lateral pulldown, curl grip barbell row, curl grip cable row, dumbbell rows.
and for god sake dont be like those idiots who deprive themselves of carbs, little carbs= less glycogen for muscles= lesser energy to workout.little carbs=less insulin release= not as good protein absorption= less protein absorbed to build muscle.
and please dont train the same muscle everything with weights.You will be overtraining.

Seriously I don't know. Start work from 11am to 7pm. Damn tiring work. When to jog? How to jog? When I not working I jog wif my friend or blading, or soccer. My whole body ok, except not that visible around the tummy area. Weight about 68kg. Height about 175cm. How leh?Originally posted by alkaiden:dun giv that workin no time excuse...its up to u lo.

actually cardio can be done using weightlifting, for example high reps and high set of snatches/deadlifts with little rest can send you panting away(trust me i tried it before)
but i believe the threadstarter is talking about weightlifting with moderate pace and rest periods inbetween. -
weight lifting builds muscles which increase metabolism which in turn means that you do lose weight. and you also get to get nice toned muscles.
and its good because you can do it when you are watching TV... -
me thinks that weight lift does help to burn calories but not much to make a impact on yr weight cause u do pant when u weighlift properly..main motive of weights is to build muscle
need to combine cardio n weights if u want to see weight loss and at same time build muscle mass..btw being too thin for a guy doesnt look that good
-
no i think the threadstarter wanted to lose weight purely by weightlifting alone. thats rather impossible to do. cardio exercises are much better to lose weight. eg. jogging. play some sports like soccer/basketball. a vigourous half hour of it can seriously tire u out. but its good. weight lifting only builds muscle. u will be fat and strong, but i doubt u will be able to have any muscle definitions as u'll not be losing weight.

it is not possible to lose weight with bodybuilding as muscle is heavier than fats.
aerobic exercises are better for losing weights. -
it is possible to lose weight this way. you have to do more reps, lower weight, I think. so depends on your strength + diet.
jogging is good. I want to jog cannot find stadium. very ma fun. -
you want to lose weight? burn fats?
best is to do intensive cardio. like intensive sprinting. it keeps your metabolism high throughout the day. you want burn fats do that.
long distance jogging for an extended period will not help. you will only be losing water thats all.
weight lifting helps in building up your muscles and power. and muscle burns fats too.
for best results is to do both. only doing weight lifting wont help you to lose weight fast. really.
i had friends who went to gym regularly and got bigger in size nia. his fats isnt burning as fast as his muscle is gaining.
