Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Thanks guns! so pretty much the direction I was gonna take. I've done some intervals and sled dragging already.
when I saw that graph, i realized not only is steady state not that good but at that rate I must be shredding glycogen and muscle not fat.

yessir and i have been doing it blind and dumb for many many years. just eating off pounds of muscle haha. i get into pretty damn good shape but hell we want to keep on as much muscle and size as possible during the process. the cool thing about the intervals and sled work is that it is adding to the shaping and growth of the muscle and not hampering your recovery. so when i learned that i was like damn, no more boring as mindless cardio and i can add on detail and maybe a tad bit more muscle. i was sold and i have been doing it for a while now. it is not boring at all and fun if you can get someone doing it with you so you can get a little competition going. hell i have done part of a leg session up to leg presses to a certain number of sets, went out and put 180 on the sled and then pulled it for 6 rounds then went back in to the progression on the press and finished off the leg session. i was hobbled after wards but man it was a great session

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

Guns, question for ya. Kinda off track from your recent logging but here is goes. When your doing cardio for fatloss how much do you pay attention to heart rate to stay in the "fat burning zone"?
I went out for a run the other day and used a strap on heart monitor. The pace I run my heart rate is way above the ideal zone where you theoretically start using glycogen and carb for feul instead of fat.

weird but funny thing i thought of about these strap heart rate monitors. my mrs used to wear one every time we trained and when she did cardio. if i remember correctly we had her doing the tread at a level 14 or 15 incline at 2.8-3.2ish mph for no more than 30 mins. her cals burned during that cardio would be around 250-300ish give or take. then during training after a leg or a back day it would read that she burned over 1k cals and one time it was right at 2k cals burned during a 2 hour session. idk how accurate the cal burn is but that's a huge difference in cals burned to me haha

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

i used to do the low and slow stay in the fat burning zone but i have completely gotten away from that this year. now i am either doing intervals or completely eccentric less cardio work. on the intervals i go as absolutely hard as i can for 60 secs and then i go slow moderate pace for another 60 secs then repeat. i do that for between 10-16 minutes a session. it is supposed to be superior to fat burning over low steady state and preserve muscle much better. on the eccentric less work, i row drag or push the sled as hard as i can for 40 yards then i rest for 20-90 secs and repeat for about 3-8 rounds depending on the session i did prior and the day. it is working much faster and more effectively for me right now. so i would say it is a much better choice. that and my freaking cardio endurance has gotten pretty freaking sick for as heavy as i am

Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

30min and I was in the fat zone for 6sec..lol
I'm a little out if shape so hr was a bit above norm.
Might just start doing incline treadmill to target heart rate, or do intervals from 100bbp to 160.

done for the day. mother's day and since i have light years ahead of conditioning for the first time in my career, i had a cheat with the mrs for mother's day. nothing seriously crazy but it will put me in a 60g carb surplus for today. that is 240 cals above what my normal daily intake is for today. it had sugars which i have never ever done except for peaking multiple times so i am excited to see what it does to how i look tomorrow. hell i was peeled to the bone cold about an hour after the meal. so we shall see. got a great session in today and actually moved some pretty good weight around. the pump was as expected, stupid haha. only issue i have today is my knees are a little sore from yesterday and the intervals today. not to bad but they are letting me know, i went a little bit heavy yesterday and pounding them on the stairs was not the best idea haha.

done for the day. this was a pretty serious session today that went a little bit silly and heavy. everything actually held up and felt really good though. no sled work cardio today. just giving a little break to the old joints for a day and let my legs rest a little bit. that and i had to go to a different gym for the machine to do frog squats on and their area isnt good enough for sled work and i doubt they would have allowed me to pull plates out of the facility.
