  • Can u do cardio after weight training :/

  • @farume11 Sure!

  • steve your my hero

  • @atrchito1 Thanks!

  • Why is it that when you run a calorie deficit, the body taps in to the fat reserves for energy and not the muscle? Also, how is it possible to gain muscle(increase in mass/weight) while running a calorie deficit? And finally, what causes muscle wasting?

  • @dogley1 I answered your question on my 5/29/11 BlogTalkRadio com show. You can listen there or on iTunes. Search Steve Turano. Recent shows can be heard on my site home page at the bottom once they upload. I also upload it to iTunes. You can also listen at GreatFatLossPill com. Click on the On The Air tab at the top.

  • There's a very easy way to prove this theory in just two weeks. Make written notes of much weight you can lift and for how many reps for each exercise in your weight training routine. Now eat 300 calories less per day than you need to maintain your weight and follow your weight lifting routine as normal. If after two weeks you are now able to lift more weight for the same number of reps for each exercise then you have definitely gained strength and therefore muscle on a calorie deficit diet!!!

  • @alitjuhhh Your body will never actually "burn" muscle for energy, unless all other energy stores are exhausted (in starvation circumstances). The thing is, your brain can only run on glucose, and it requires ~150 grams of carbs a day. Carbohydrates are converted into glucose. The thing is, fat cannot be converted into glucose, but amino acids (muscle tissue) can. I would love to elaborate further, but I am running out of characters. But think along those lines.

  • But, how do you know if with a daily caloric deficit of 500-700 kcal, you won't burn muscle in addition to fat to make up for the deficit??

    I mean, yes, you might be eating protein and carbs, but a deficit is a deficit, and your body is going to break down it's (muscle/fat) resources to compensate.

    It seems to me that whether or not this compensation occurs with muscle or with fat, is not relevant to your protein/carbohydrate intake.

    Am I right or just missing something here??

  • hey steve how do u know if you have reach your genetic potential....?

  • @BodyPerformanceTV STEVE I KNOW IN ORDER TO GAIN MUSCLE U HAVE TO have more than maintenance calories surplus but then again you'll gain fat that way as well. so how do I do this? its confusing.

  • Does cario burn muscle? I lift weights and do a good 45 minutes to an hour of jumproping for cardio but im trying to build good amounts of muscle to... my nutrition is good.

  • im 169 lbs, 5''9, i have been working out for a while but not sure how to get a toned chest, it is kinda ok now but still soft on the side and make it looks bad from far a way...so do i need to keep doing pushup and bench press? do i need to do declined bench press?

  • Thank you very much Steve. I hope you have a great Christmas and a Happy New year. Post some more videos on You-Tube.
