No offense, but that's simply not true. I once lost 40lbs in 2 1/2 months from running 5 miles(1100 burn cals) on the elliptical alone.. Went from 28 bf to 18 bf.
40lbs of what is the question
Need adivce: My goal is too LOSE weight, so should I only focus on cardio?

40lbs of what is the question
40lbs of what is the question
Well I felt stronger than I was at that previous weight...Not to mention, better
but now I do both.But
I gained all that weight back
which beckons what i just said, 40lbs of what? clearly not pure fat
thus why cardio is inefficient for fat loss and doesnt teach you actual healthy eating and living habits

I do what works for me?
I feel you though. Those big muscles dudes at the gym tells me all the time I shouldnt be lifting heavy cause I'm pretty massive and broad. Just play ball and run.

if you gained the weight back, it didnt work
i used to think like you coming from an athletic background in wrestling where cardio is "king" but the point of wrestling isnt fat loss, its endurance and technique and explosion etc
all things that have zero to do with fat loss

I gained it back cause I got complacent. My ego got big from the love I was getting and stopped doing what I was doing previously.

im seriously doubting if hockey is a form of cardio that will either help my aesthetics or not.
its kind of hiit training but that for like 3x20 minutes without an (good) opportunity to eat or drink for nutrition, i dont know if that will burn muscle too much...

i want it to be known that doing cardio isnt "bad" by anymeans and it creates a deficit
it just doesnt preserve muscle, so using it in place of lifting doesnt work
if you lift and can still do cardio do so
the issues to be careful of is overestimating how much of a deficit your cardio creates and then end up "eating out of it" and not being in a deficit at all(which is common)
id assume the minimum calories burned during cardio sessions and never go over a 300-500 cal dietary deficit
lifting still constant

I'm talking about lifting heavy. Do they bench? Shoulder press? Doubt it, especially Blake.
my dude have you seen Yohan Blake?
"does he bench"
lol. exactly. Blake has those stretch marks on his shoulders meaning he does alot of upper body workouts. Sprinters nowadays try to work every muscle, this isn't the Carl Lewis era anymore. Every sprinter who is doing sub 10 times is brolic.
a friend of mine who follows athletics told me most sprinters do upper body work and some of it has to do with having uperbody mass. he told me it helps them remain more stable and helps with their balance while performing. he said to light on top and they'll tend to wobble left and right in their lane and lose time. don't know how true it is though...
Great article. Good information without getting too technical.
A big lesson I've learned and one of his points in the article is getting with a routine that works long-term, and having that as one of the design goals. Basically you need to always be thinking "is this something I can do for the rest of my damn life", makes compliance that much easier. shyt it's like anything in life, it ain't really about the results, it's the journey you take and being present in whatever you're doing.
Been on this LG-style diet six months, and I'm convinced I wouldn't have got these results without my cheat day
Now you telling me I can put in a two week break too? 
Well my dude I guess I'm long overdue for one right now, and next break would fit just in time for Christmas 
Yep
I have cut a few times
Had the most success with this break shyt, and dude's suggestion to cut volume by like 1/3-1/2 in the cut
Like you said, it comes down to consistency and sanity. 1500kcal days aren't bad when you can get that from 2 nice big meals and know a sanity day (theres nothing cheating about it) is right around the corner. And weeks of cutting aren't bad when you know a decent break is coming
I done read a lot of shyt... this dude Lyle Mcdonald man, one of the few dudes whose "advice" actually helped me out. Might have to fukk around and show him some love w/a couple of purchases.
