Loosing fat and muscle
« on: 08 January 2012, 13:19 »
Right I need to loose 3.3 stone to be on the race weight. I haven't got 3.3 stone of fat so how do you loose muscle?


I'm 104kg in race clothes and helmet and need to be 84.
Ive got a diet to loose fat and iv been body building for 4 years now. No matter what I do in the gym I always pump up which can't be good?
Iv been doing cv then very light weights and loads of reps, all non stop to keep the heart rate up.

Should I be cutting out the weights altogether?

Would love some weight loss tips  :wink:
I only know how to get big

Don't go near a gym. Get a decent pair of running shoes and hit the road/country side. Run every other day for like 5-6 miles and you will strip savage amounts of fat. Yea your legs will be getting a good work out but not in the way as if you went to the gym and did a legs session.  :smiley:

Oh and Thermabol. Maximuscle tablety things, they basically just keep your metabolism going 24/7.

Oh and BTW that is ALOT of weight to lose...you will look a totally different person.

What category are you racing in? Why not just enter the one you can enter at your weight ATM?

Haha so no weights just running

I ain't gonna do a liquid diet. I ain't that fat. How ever I am starting a body building competion diet to get lean  :lipsrsealed:

I'm racing tkm extreme karts. And It's a good field of drivers. There all bang on the weight well they have lead on their karts to get up to weight lol

So run run run and my muscle will drop off too? I was benching 140kg at four reps. I find it hard to bench 100kg now so I am shrinking already. 

Cheers lads

Replace food with cigarettes.

and stop smoking when you want to put it back on :grin:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Bingo!
I quit smoking just before I went to uni, I ended up putting on 6 stone!
I've lost 3 stone since I started smoking again!  :cool:

just to add... do not eat anything after 7pm on an evening. and make sure you eat as soon as you are up in the morning. do not skip meals as this makes your body store excess fat also.
