Most effective way would be a combo of weights and cardio or what ever they call it these days. The tech on cardio these days seems to be HITT instead of just grinding out 45 minutes plus of what ever cardio you're doing. That's what the 14 minute workout on the Max is about. And also when it comes to lifting, high reps with low weights really isn't that good from my experience. Didn't really keep my muscles supple like I wanted. I think it had the opposite effect.

Then you are doing it wrong. High reps at lower weight can be just as effective as high weight low reps.

Started working legs hard a few months ago. Was always doing cardio involving legs but wasn't doing much lifting with them. Have a Smith machine in my house and started doing 5 sets of 12 rep squats at least twice a week. Also have a leg curl machine and started basically the same program for hamstrings. Doing hip resistance bands also. Up to 200lbs for my last squat set and 50 for my last hamstring set. Took about a month before I noticed any size difference, but definitely can see it at this point.
Should've been doing this all along - especially the squats. Makes such a huge difference in everything you do. Even everyday life things like golf, climbing stairs, yard work, etc. |

Squats and deadlifts are great. Probably the best bang for your buck lifts you can do.

It's okay, but I maxed the thing out in the first day with new rods. The ****ing cables twisted a lot, and I had to farmer-fix them. (fairly easy) I like some of the workouts, but end up doing free weights when it's time to burn. |

Marcellus, I have been doing the 150-200 grams protein, 300 carbs diet and it's working well.
I haven't felt this good in years. Workouts are fantastic, but damn this extra energy is eye-opening. I can't believe I tried the low-carb keto bullshit in December. I felt like shit 95% of the time. **** that diet. |

My 13 year old just made fun of me for not doing my full reps at 295.

Did a good workout yesterday but then had some cocktails so no workout today. Going take a 1/2 gallon jug of water out to the hot tub and drink it while I boil myself.
Had a bad food experience yesterday. Took the wife to her favorite sushi place and when we go there some times I deviate from what's on the menu. I ordered a roll that was supposed to have only lobster in it. I have them leave out the celery and carrot and other stuff. Well I don't know what the server told the chef but when I got my order the celery and stuff was in it. Okay no biggie I figured I would just go ahead and eat it that way as it's still a good roll. I ate a piece or two and it didn't seem right. I was looking at it and ate another piece or two. Then I figured it out. They served me raw lobster. I've lived so far but ewwww. I probably got some kind of nasty bacteria running through my intestines. |
