I love the responses telling six-time Mr. Olympia that he's wrong.
Exactly 🤣 what does he know 🤯
drugs Mr. Olympia that why he lots it all now but he right weights is the way
Can't be Mr. Olympia without the gear, but you still need to know what you are doing and have the genetics to back you up. The man knows what he's talking about. Bigger muscles means more calories you burn.
Well an ectomorph will tell you eating is the best way to gain muscle while remaining lean ;)
Many of these bodybuilders already have good genetics, and also good gear.
Low intensity cardio is the best way to be on a deficit while maintaining muscle mass. Being on a deficit will make you lose fat.
Are runners fat? Are lifters shredded?
The first ones no. The second ones... not necessarily.
Well, is it possible that he’s wrong? 🤷♂️
How many more calories per day does an extra pound of muscle burn? I’ll give you a hint…it’s not equal to the 300 or more calories from an hour cardio session. Not even close. 😉
I heard someone say this once "If you're overweight and your body is the shape of a pear and you go on a diet to lose the weight, you'll end up looking like a smaller pear" - you need to train with weights to change the shape of your body.
Dorian is the main man I'd go to for any kind of weight training/muscle building advice. More than anything, he tells the truth. Regardless if it heals or hurts. Great man!
Same here, he's always honest and to the point! Legend
No
@@poopyanalbumhole What a dumb thing to say!! Natural or not anyone could learn so much from this man!
@@poopyanalbumhole HIT is the most productive type of training for natural guys and that's what Yates advocates. Volume training only works for guys taking truckloads of steroids.
Lee Haney is good too
"Like having a bigger engine in your car: you'll require more fuel" is honestly the best RMR analogy I've ever heard.
Great advice. This is the mantra that I preach at the gym. Unfortunately, not many people are converted. They're still running themselves tired at the treadmill and then flap some weights aimlessly.
Flapping some weights. Lol
I have done dieting and cardio for years with either temporary results or no results. Finally stopped the cardio (other than walking) and started doing a calorie deficit and lifting 3 days a week. Have lost 10 lbs in 2 months and feel incredible!! I'm just getting leaner. Thanks Dorian.
question so im 290 i want to get back to 190 my question is since im a big guy youre saying lift heavy to lose weight and ofc lil cardio as you said but mainly lift heavy?
I have lost 24 lbs in a month with majority time lifting weights and 2 or 3 times cardio for 20 mins in a week. Low caloric diet is the key.
@@khalilcruz5816it’s all in the diet. Even if you don’t work out but eat less you’ll lose weight
@@khalilcruz5816 you want to be in a calorie deficit. You want to Train at least 3 times a week (full body training is great for fatloss) and do steady state cardio either on your rest days or 20 min after you training sessions. (walking on the treadmill at a steady pace, not overdoing it).
In terms of dieting for fatloss: protein is king and the only macronutrient I would focus on. Focus on that and your calories. If you’re 290, 2900 calories is a pretty good deficit to start at. You’ll want to get at least 190-200 grams of protein per day in (since that is your goal weight). Always eat protein first before carbs and fats. 6-8 Oz is more than enough per meal. It’s hard to overeat if you eat the protein first since it is the most satiating macronutrient and takes the most energy to burn.
Your protein can be hit in 3 meals and a shake a day. Consume your protein shake after your exercise. Consume at least 40-50 grams. Only eat when you’re hungry. Cut out all processed shit.
You should start seeing results quite quickly if you implement at least two of the things I posted up top.
But the most important rule: do not overcomplicate this by going down the UA-cam/Google rabbit hole of dieting and exercise.
The formula is very simple: Eat less. move more. Focus on protein. Get good sleep. Cut out ALL junk food.
Worked out 7 weeks, 1 hour to 1-1/2 hours each day. Weight loss is zero. It varies by a pound, so at best lost 1 pound looking at several days of weight readings. Not doing any cardio, just weight training, legs and arms and exercising waist.
I’m 57 I train 4 times a week for the last 37 years. I never do cardio, I use light weights isolation exercises plenty of reps. My diet is good and I’m the same weight I was when I was 21. Training is 30 percent genetics, 30 percent technique, 30 percent diet and 110 percent dedication.
Better pray athrosis and tendonosis is not part of your DNA. (It is.) But when it rears it's evil, ugly head, is anybodys guess. You will not be able to train through the pain. Mine developed at 62. Doing the Kettlebell swings as normal for a Monday. Tuesday something was very wrong with the elbow. Friday the X-rays were the undeniable evidence. I'm still dealing with the emotional trauma. A wiseman once said. "Take kindly the counsil of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth ." I was hard headed. Not me I said, I'm different. Pain, however, has a very sobering effect. Looks like I'm going to be doing a lot of Tai Chi now. Sigh....Good luck.
Cardio should be done for, you know... cardio(vascular) health
Cardio is like trying to paddle up steam
Resistance training is like building a motor for your paddle boat
I've lost 5 stone (70lbs) over 2 and a half years and completely changed my body shape mainly lifting weights
but you were in a calorie deficit?
@@sabra1066 not really for the first 6 months I smashed the gym every day 40 mins speed marching on treadmill and 40 minutes weights I ate clean though lot of fish lean meats vegetables etc watched portion size if i felt a meal was a bit big I'd split it into two meals never had cheat days as after a while I found I wasn't craving one now I workout 5 days a week 1-3 days in gym then a day off and work in HIIT training 3 days a week with weights for 4 weeks then 4 weeks just weights seems to be working on the stubborn areas what's left of my belly love handles
Stop using Nazi symbols
@@internationalrtg5602 Stick to video games
I found cardio and weights together worked for me
Yep,it doesn't have to be one or the other
Dunno why everyone feels the need to comment. Dorian’s comments are perfectly correct and don’t need additions/changes.
Or support! Now get out of the corner and talk amongst the other adults.
Keep it easy and just do the work. Very few are proffessionals and need all information.
I have been doing weight training for 5 month, simply following 500 calorie deficit & avoiding sugar for 5 month, at start I was 85 kg, now today I am at 78 kg
It's the way for sure
Passive fat burning vs active fat burning. The byproduct of anaerobic training is increased strength and hypertrophy while the byproduct of aerobic training is increased endurance and cardiovascular health. In short, do both to be healthy.
Yes.Weight training combined with good nutrition burns fats. Nearly 60 kgs în a year and still going hard.
but should i lift light weights or go heavy? so more reps or heavier weights?
@@khalilcruz5816 I recommend keeping your reps between 8-10 and increase the weight progressively.the increase should be like 5 kg per month for an exercise. This worked for me.
hey, what weight training exercises did you do?
@@BlueLock202 barbell squats, ddeadlifts,benchpress(barbell,dumbells,incline, flat),overhand grip barbell rows and so on
@@danititus6150 how often did you do that a week? 60kg in a year is crazy
Good and excellent advise . Had a confusion regarding this .Thanks
Short, sweet, to the point.
Excellent answer to this question! I once heard that muscle tissue continues to burn calories for up to 3 days after a workout.
I love how this living legend explains things so simply. Love and respect DY!
Great video and as usual everything was explained very well. Thanks! 💪
Thanks Dorian. You're a legend.
Great video, but the background music is distracting!
Noted!
@@DorianYatesNutrition Just got out of the Iron Temple only to stumble upon this. Came to say the above, and that my late friend Lance Thompson idolized Dorian. He got me in shape for the first time in my life and it changed everything: got in the coolest band in town, the prettiest girl in the whole world, what a ride! So thankful Dorian is here now! Subbed and will tell others. WE LOVE YOU DORIAN!
Always great advice
Glad to hear it from the expert. Need to start pumping some weights.
This message needs to spread!!!
This man never ceases to impress me he is legit the most educated mr Olympia ever lived because these are some really in depth concepts that proven by modern studies
Agree. With weight training I lost a lot of fat ithout intending too and built muscle. I eat very well but of course needed to eat more with heavier weight training. I do cardio like dancing just for fun. I am almost 50 and look much better than I did when I was doing more cardio and less weight training. I also feel stronger.
Thank you I finally got the answer I was looking for
From my perspective, I think the combination of anaerobic excercise and aerobic excercise is more effective to reduce body fat and body weight then one only.
I used this pattern five years ago, it was so great.I've been doing this since then.
It makes me happy and healthy.
You also prime your cells to metabolize glucose instead of storing it as fat. You can huge composition changes from that aspect alone.
Thanks, Shadow. always a great listen. I'm fortunate enough to train at Anth Bailes Gym in Durham where your Nautilus Pullover is, such a privilege to have access to that bit of kit.
That is awesome!
I wouldn’t of even lifted a weight if it wasn’t for Dorian. Must of watched blood and guts over a 1000 times.
I like how he breaks it down
Real simple 👌
One more way that weight training helps in fat loss and calorie burning is that body needs lots of energy after workout to do repair work and adapt. It also burns calories for many hours after training.
@Jesus Christ correct.
@Jesus Christ don't you think that the repair work and then adaptations (more muscle, stronger bones, etc.) needed after weight training would require more energy/calories than the body would need without any such demands?
@Jesus Christ 20-30 calories per pound? Secondly, is this over and above maintenance level?
@Jesus Christ OK. So it seems that post exercise elevated levels of calories burning in resistance training and HIIT is just not correct.
@Jesus Christ OK thank, it was good learning. Interestingly, I just came across a video of legendary Mike Mentzer and he said the same thing that "weight/resistance training does not burn that many calories".
Top bodybuilder....living legend...scientist...entire his career lived like a monk...and never reveled himself or lead a flashy life...always believed in simplicity and his success shouted very loud for him...thats why he is known as shadow....my favourite bodybuilder
Very well said
This is very true because the majority of obese/ overweight people like myself find it extremely difficult to juggle both cardio and weight training effectively. It’s already difficult enough to move our heavy bodies with the constant back pain(if you have bigger hips) let alone do an extensive training regime. I find it much more effective for myself to stick to just one thing at a time- weight training.
FYI, I do do cardio like normal walking to and fro classes and a 20min sesh on the treadmill twice weekly.
@@JimmyJapan jeez man
I met this man at the 99 Arnold. He was hella cool. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. He is the first mass monster. He set the standard. He is definitely one of my all time favorites.
Haney
@@whatever_it_takes6691 IIRC, Dorian was part of Haney’s decision to retire. Bodybuilding was moving more towards mass. The Frank Zane and Lee Haney physiques were going out of style really quick.
Yeah he gets all the credit he deserves... But there are many who criticise him but what they dont understand is that he is a trailblazer and did what no one had done before!
Yeah he’s a great guy I taught him everything he knows
I worked with Yates a few times. Hes a cool guy... and when demonstraited lifting, he was still suprisingly strong! One of the very best!
Thank you "DY" The Shadow. 🙏
Watched blood and guts 100 times on my VCR and I bought his book the Warriors story must’ve read it 10 times. Number one greatest bodybuilder of all time!
This works for me actually. Whenever I gain weight, I eat less and weight lift more, works like a charm
Thankyou sir dorian
I saw Dorian.. I said is that Yates..? I saw channel name.. I subscribed!
I remember back in the 90’s, in one of my magazines…the caption was “The MIGHTY CALVES of DORIAN YATES” 💪 LEGEND!
I totally agree you are correct im working out with weights and my fat gut is decreasing. Ive never done any cardio and my results are showing. The muscles are using my body fat around my waist to build up. Its got to come from somewhere.
They are both very important to do. Don't neglect either
I would say it completely depends upon how hard and fast you are working when doing weight training, how fast is your heart beating?
If you are eatng low glycemic carbs keeping insulin levels flatter and you are relying on fat as fuel your performance will be impacted but you absolutely will be burning more fat. Additionally your increased metabolism created from exercise also burns fat which is the part you said. Carbs are critical for endurance sports but not as much for strength if your goal is weight loss. Hence why i eat a largely meat diet which still produces glucose just at a flatter rate than fast carbs like rice.
Eat less exercise more! Simple.
Yes... Balanced diet ( eat less) and exercise more... Period...
Your energy expenditure is basically directly related to your heart rate. If your VO2 max was 5L and you worked at 80% for half an hour you'd burn 600 kcals. Muscle at rest is 6 kcals a day. So you'd need 100 lbs of muscle to equal that half hour of cardio.
Oh Daddy.... Your so smart... Thanks for everything

Thank you sir, I train boxing hitting the heavy bag and rope skipping, but after listening to you I'll give it a go and lift some weights too
How many weights do you think you’ll lift…… like 2 or 3?
@@wizcorn9958 is that supposed to be funny? Just asking
It's a long time since I've had access to training with a heavy bag : but i remember how exhausted it quickly left me feeling !
Weight training is the best, but you don't want to neglect cardio. If your cardio is bad you'll feel significantly better by improving it. Just having better wind, breathing better, more energy, etc. benefits me in general and also when I'm lifting. I feel more energy to put more intensity into sets and also for more overall volume in a workout. And I seem to sleep better when my cardio is right.
Also your training suffers significantly if you end up having a heart attack because you never did any cardio.
Solid guy who mastered his craft. No fluff, no BS…pure genuine sage advice from the best.
Thanks Dorian!
You have to lift weights while you run, DO YOU WANT THIS OR NOT!!!
People are so lazy!
Spot on Dorian, also too much cardio increases the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn protects the body by increasing fat storage.
What utter nonsense.
I’ve done quite a lot of running and increased my running in the last 4months to do a huge race. And I lost more weight - so your comment is simply nonsense.
No too much lifting is also increases the stress hormone cortisol, then it will mess up with your metabolism, it means hard to burn fat.
King advice
I just can't help but ask the question I did. Seeing some of the pro bodybuilders once they get off drugs. Dorian is AWESOME ! Don't get me wrong but WOW
why not do both???? its way healthier than only one or another
You can do both, but purely aesthetically don't need to do cardio
Like alot of donkey’s
First 45 min weighttrainer and after that 45 min cardio😂😂
Great way to burn muscles😂😂
@@promo130 45min?
Yeah, use weight training in combination with cardio, not only cardio, if you do not want to be skinny fat, especially for women, especially at high ages.
What kind of program you recommend for woman?
During your heyday or bodybuilding training, did you in addition to weight training also do cardio exercises? If so, how long and before or after weight training, in a session?
He did. Power walking.
Usually none during bulking.
But 12 or so weeks out when cutting, he'd do Incline walking on a treadmill or walking in the countryside in zone 2 (60-70% of max heart rate) to minimise CNS fatigue, and maximise fat burning.
3-4 times a week is enough.
30 minutes twice a week moderate intensity
I would 100% agree with this, based on my own experience I am 50 years old and don’t do any cardio. I just lift weights 4 to 5 times a week in my garage and am lean with six pack, I can eat around 2500 calories with about 170g protein and around 20-30% calories from fat rest carbs,
Just avoid refined sugars and simple carbs, I’ll lift weights for as long as possible and stay lean this way, thanks Dorian for your great no bs advice, great to see you thriving.
What's your weight and training split?
@@donnn-ow4rj hi donn
I train 2days 1 day rest continuing , alternating legs one day upper body next, rest 1 day so every body part gets trained at least twice per week with 2 different routines so one leg day would involve squats with stiff legs deadlifts and second leg day deadlifts and lunges each finishes with calf’s and abs
@@donnn-ow4rj I guess at my age the focus is more on staying lean and keeping optimal bone density so I really try to focus on good nutrition, eating lots of vegetables and avoiding processed foods and sugar seems to really work for me
@@stewijones738 great split! what's your weight at moment roughly .
@@donnn-ow4rj I’m around 150 pounds at 5ft10
with 28inch waist
I'm still yet to find a definitive answer to this, both arguments for and against cardio are compelling. My personal experience is this - about 4 months ago I started weight training, I actually put weight on put people kept telling me I looked like I had lost weight. My assumption is that as my shoulders, chest and arms have grown, it's balanced my aesthetic out, causing me to look like I have lost weight. Further to that, as Dorian said, the extra muscle mass has slightly reduced fat in areas I don't particularly target, like my stomach. Interesting about 2 years ago I went on the keto diet and lost 3 stone with no weights or cardio, that was obviously dramatically noticeable. So diet obviously works. In all my years of playing rugby and periods of focused cardio ( walking, running, biking etc ) I have never lost or appeared to lose weight. My assumption is that it's because I'm genetically stronger as opposed to being genetically geared towards cardio. I guess the truth is that diet, strength training and cardio all work to some degree, it just depends on you. A bodybuilder will support weight training for weight loss and I imagine a marathon runner would support cardio, we're all different so don't expect that something that works for someone else will work for you. My biggest and most helpful discovery is doing things in the gym I enjoy and creating weight loss goals around that. Otherwise you'll quit. If you enjoy weights, lift weights, if you enjoy a run, then run. The principles will always be the same - burning more calories than you consume = weight loss. But achieving and sustaining weight loss is more complicated and needs to approached uniquely to the individual. That's my thoughts anyway.
My question is, when doin weights do u necessarily need to sweat while doin so In order to lose fat from body and face or do u not need to sweat, because when I do lifting I don’t really sweat and I put in the work.
You don’t have too…as long as the muscles are growing. I don’t always sweat, except for a few exercises. Depending on the gyms, which may or may not have better AC
@@BigstickNick+1. Sweating does not cause fat burn & vice versa. You can find a bunch of fat people that will sweat just sitting there, but they aren’t burning fat.
Dorian, what is your view on Mike Mentzer’s form of HIT as outlined in his (and John Little’s book) “High Intensity Training the Mike Mentzer Way”?
Dorian’s system is based on Mike’s
@@J_W_R_I Yes, however Dorian did more volume than recommended by Mike at the end of his career. Dorian did claim that he did more volume than Arthur Jones’ recommendations due to the need for a fuller muscular appearance. He did overtrain which was why he had many injuries such as muscle tears, especially in the run ups to his competitions (as he was on a more restricted diet then, which hurted his recovery ability). He was on steroids though, which would allow for one to do training more frequently.
100% True ❤
I'm fairly new to training
Provided that you can manage to control your food intake, as with me I always feel way more hungry when weight training as compared to cardio
It depends as to how many and what type of calories you take in before and after the workout. Try adjusting your protein/carbs ratio, and make sure you are consuming some healthy fats as well. Electrolyte balance is also key.
I am never hungry after a weight workout, just tired.
Add some supersets and dropsets for even more fatburning
My english is very bad ...but the little ....I can understand that the explain of fuel training of Sir Dorian.... I agree
Grettings from Spain
Durian knows his stuff 💪
But how do you control appetite in a calorie deficit. While weight training. I’m to drained and hungry when I’m always lifting
I'll add to this: lifting heavy weights with high intensity for an hour burns more energy than cardio/aerobics. Most importantly though, by cardio most people mean aerobic activity like running and aerobics, but in bodybuilding, aerobic exercise can include the body switching from using glucose as the primary fuel source to fat. This happens when an exercise goes on for more than about a minute. This is why Arthur Jones in the 70s made his students lift heavy weights back to back with minimal rest. Do that and you get the benefits of both aerobic and anaerobic exercise
@@JimmyJapan well, what do you disagree with exactly?
@@JimmyJapan you need to reread what I wrote. To make resistance training aerobic, you need to take minimal rest between exercises. That's when your body will burn fat instead of glucose. Most bodybuilders do sets of a short duration and rest for a couple of minutes in between exercises, making it anaerobic. This is a scientific fact. What you said is correct though -- most bodybuilders won't train in that way so will stay fat
@@JimmyJapan sound like a troll. Happy to argue the science not opinion. My source is Ellington Darden, PhD. Perhaps you don't understand the difference between aerobic and anaerobic?
Darden's thousands of clients who lost kilos and kilos of weight very quickly (see his 'Killing Fat' and 'Body Fat Breakthrough' for example where the results his clients got speak for themselves. I remind you I'm not saying it was without cardio but was _with_cardio, leveraging anaerobic systems that kick in when the rest between exercises is minimised. This is something most people don't understand
@@JimmyJapanI think you misunderstand me. I stand by my original claims. They are correct. My point is you can engage your aerobic systems through lifting weights with minimal rest between exercises. This has been known since at least the 70s.

Muscle mass burns calories
dorian is so smart. the things he learnt and practised is what "science" is saying today.
Love from India 🇮🇳
if dorian says it then it must be so. this man not only has the knowledge he also has the mileage.
his credentials are his amazing contribution to the sport of bodybuilding. in the words of sinead oconnor "nothing compares.
I firmly believe a combo between cardio and weight training, and surprising your body with different ways to move and exert, is the best method for effective body shaping.
But what makes you actually lose weight? Your diet.
I have a question: For training for weight loss, do I lift on a caloric deficit or in a calorie surplus in order to increase muscle mass and by extension, increasing the basal metabolic rate?????
That’s up to you. By definition when you’re in a calorie surplus you will be gaining body fat. It will help you build more muscle quicker but if your goal is weight loss now then a calorie surplus isn’t for you. After you come off of the surplus if you choose to do one you won’t necessarily lose weight much faster but you will be bigger once it’s lost.
@@charliefox5415 Thanks for your help.
U can increase basal metabolic rate by weight lifting consistently (doesn’t necessarily mean only weight lifting can make this happen , with any type of physical activity u can achieve this, the key is being consistent. Also weight lifting is a better option for this since muscle uses more energy even while doing nothing)
Usually when u try to bulk up or just get more muscle mass , eating more than a normal diet that consists of more protein is ideal , but this only works if u r doing the work and lifting, (u gradually increase ur calorie intake as u build more muscles, dont do it in one day)
But if u r obese or have more fat deposit in ur body , I wouldn’t recommend to be on a calorie surplus , that way ur body will start to use energy by burning fat .( it is a slow process but It produces the more ATP per molecule of fat burned, thats another reason y consistency is key)
Only after u burnt of the execess fat , u can gradually increase ur food intake (if u wish to put on muscles )while still doing weight training, that way u can lose fat and build more muscles. Hope this helps ❤
@@ayeshamariyam6568 Thanks a lot 🤝🏾
If you're lifting weights for weight 'loss' then ironically it's better if you don't look at the scale and just judge it by how lean your body starts to look/feel after 1 month or so because muscle is leaner than fat so you can technically weigh the same but look leaner & fitter. If you want to build size and muscle then a caloric surplus is a must (even if it's just a 100-200 caloric surplus) If you want to lose weight no matter what then a deficit will do it quicker (and show up on the scales quicker) but be aware that you will lose fat AND muscle as you lose more weight, probably 30% muscle, potentially less though if it's mostly weight training rather than cardio. Many PT's would recommend a brief bulk to speed up your metabolism - then followed by a cut.
the best is to do both weight training AND cardio obviously
the best is to eat healthy, drink lots of water, do weight training, get proper sleep and cardio, obviously
@@user-fx9vq7gf3j Don't drink "lots" of water. Drink the amount you need as regulated by your thirst. The only exception is if there is something wrong with you or maybe if you are very old (since the thirst mechanism on the elderly can go a bit wonky).
@@alanfrost75 no. drink lots of water
@@user-fx9vq7gf3j That is a rampant myth. The good news is most people dont harm themselves by doing so. About 1 person a year does die from this stupid habit and a few others get sick, but for the most part you are likely to just pee lot.
Drink when you are thirsty. The body is designed to tell you when you need water (again assuming you are a normal healthy person).
@@alanfrost75 no. drink at least 1 liter per kg of body weight!!!
Try a balanced well tuned diet of proper fats and carbs. Weight train hard, if you're counting reps, 10-12 you are only cheating yourself, push/pull till failure. Cardio following weights 20-30 mins, elevated heart rate is a must. If you're eating more calories than you're burning, guess what? You'll not lose fat/weight, a lot to be said for what's going in your mouth. Increase water consumption dramatically, and if desired add a quality supplement. Willpower will come into play as well. Good luck on your journey
I watched Pavel... Russian Olympic training consists of 3to4 reps with half hour between sets. Crazy, but it works... would take all Day to train
Counting reps is kinda relevent as long as you go till failure in that range, if you exceed increase weight so you hit fialure again
Very perfect legend. I think the same.
Hey guys, context..context is king. It all comes down to maths, one doesn’t have to always be better than the other. Balance, yes weights are excellent and if done in a certain way can even bring elements of a CV workout in to your big multi jointed superset esq type workouts.
Same with CV, it’s all good guys it never needs to be either or. When asking whether it’s direct calorie burn vs metabolism raise consequential burn it also depends on lifestyle, age body type etc. it’s never black or white!

Hi Dorian, I have a question about about deadlifts. Are you supposed to lockout for deadlifts? Is it safe for your joints like your spine and knees?
Don't deadlift
It is safe.
Learn proper form tho.
I like this guy reapect man
Love and respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Should I use up all most of the body fat before changing my diet to build muscle?
I was in that position. Went from real lean to depressed and chunky to yoked. My approach was doing a 50/50 cardio weight lifting split for the first year. As you lean out you can adjust from there.
If you just want to be strong and dont care about appearance then 90/10 split o assume. Good luck, after you get that first week of hard training in it all falls into place
Weight lifting burns calories. If you're in calorific deficit, you'll lose weight. If you have body fat, you'll convert stored energy reserves -glycogen and eventually fat- while maintaining lean muscle tissue which burns calories during rest.
Running will also help you burn calories but without the side benefit of the muscles burning calories during rest and repair .
Dorian, great answer sir. I agree, losing fat is easier with more muscle. I am a big fan since you burst onto the body building scene in the early 90s, at least in the US, I know you had been at it a bit before that. You always have great insight and for what it's worth in my book, no disrespect to anyone else, you are the undisputed GOAT.
Great short videos, no selling anything, and no overload of scientific bull shit
For all those that claim calories vs calories out; how many calories are you burning in 30 minutes of cardio at 60% of VO2max. Because based on heart rate alone, weight training is similar to HIIT and burns more calories in that same 30 min.
Yeah, but will you look like a giga chad just with cardio?
My wife lost over 25 pounds of fat by weight training with me whos training for muscle and size, and barely doing any cardio and is in great shape and also developed a lot of strength. 173-148lbs bodyweight and benches 135lbs currently.
