You definitely want to keep up a good strength training program while you are cutting fat to maintain your muscles.

edit: don't forget, strength training burns calories and increases basal metabolism as well!


how often should i do the training then in the "diet-time"?
normal, like 2-3/week?

yes, 2-3 workouts a week to maintain muscle is sufficient. I would recommend doing 2x muscle groups per workout

example


day 1 - chest/bis
day 2 - OFF
day 3- back/tris/Abs
day 4 - off
day 5 - legs/shoulders
day 6 - OFF
day 7 - Abs/cardio only (this can be done at home)
Day 8 - Repeat day 1

Hey

What is the difference between doing leg press on a normal angle and when you like lay back a bit? At my gym at the leg press machine you can sit like almost straight up, and you push the weight horizontally (of course the weight is going up, but the movement is horizontal) or you can put it like back so much you almost lay down and still push the weight in the same direction.

Thank you :)

I recently bought Jack3d from Sweden.
And gaba, and proteins and seal oil. Proteins to mix with maltodextrin after workouts.

Not sure about Jack3d, but my choices are somewhat limited from having to buy a local Swedish store, and I just listened to the guy who worked there.

I just wondered what you think about the product, and how I should take it? Exercising 3 times a weak, full body each workout for now.
I heard you could build up immunity to this Jack3d. Haven't tried it yet.

The angle changes the length at which the quads and hams are affected.

90 degrees = isolated quads with minimal hams

120 degrees = still a lot of quads, but increased hams.

Jack3d is a decent product, but very expensive for what you get. There are much better alternatives.

However, seeing as you just bought it, I would recommend taking 2-3 scoops with about 12 oz of water about 30 minutes prior to working out. Only take it on training days, pre-workout.

First of all, STOP USING IT.

Secondly, ice it 15 minutes on 30 minutes off for an entire day.

Thirdly, take anti inflammatory medications (like ibuprofen) 2-3x per day for the first day.

Fourthly, don't use the arm for about 2-3 days - keep it rested, but lightly stretched.

well ok, for someone who wants to body build, this should be fine.
currently i'm doing my HOME training (i know you will say it sucks, but its fine for me) every 3 days (so 2 1/3 times each week); but i do my full training, and 2 days off.
the only things i do is pushups, abs training, bizeps training, trizeps training (i train legs with my regular sport more than enough imo).
would it be better for me to split that?

You could. It's all about how your body responds to individualized training.

Give it a shot and see how you feel and see if you make any progress...maybe try it for 4 weeks. If you get no results, little results, or diminished results...then it means it's time to try something new. Come back and let me know how it works out and we will go from there
