Anti fatty

Clearly, but the fat takes up more "space".

Kinda like a pound of pillows weighs the same as a pound of bricks. Which one will fill the space faster.

Well, this isn't a "oh, I've been working on computers all my life and I just noticed I got fat".

I used to go to the gym all the time, I just got lazy and stopped. I mean, I'm not super strong or anything, but I feel that I'm not just starting or whatever it is you said.

I'm benching 215 for my reps, I don't know what my max is cause I've never tried to max out. I do 135 front military press and curl 105 on the barbell. Again, none of these are maxes, just what I do reps with.

Which is all completely irrelevant to your current goals. You want to burn fat....you're not going to do it by allowing your body to enter starvation mode and use it's own muscle for energy.

I talked to a guy I know that's pretty fit, he confirmed what you all are saying. Basically, I can do cardio in the morning before eating anything, but it will shorten the time that I get before my body turns to muscle for fuel.

So, I guess I'll start eating before hand.

KTHXBYE

Well thank God you knew someone fit to back it up. Too bad you don't have the internet or anything to research this stuff before you enact it eh?

Doing intervals is proven to burn more fat than steady cardio exercise. I've started doing intervals on the rowing machine.

I do cardio after weight training. I do old school Olympic lifting. Deadlifts, Clean & Press, Squat, Snatches, and Bench. The Clean & Press develops speed and strength. My 82-year-old coach had a stroke in December. He had surgery to clear out his carotid artery and was back in the gym deadlifting 225 in January.

I don't trust the internet. It's evil.

You are a human, explain it to me, I don't want google to tell me.

Probably. Not really worried about it but with race season here I like to be a little lower. Believe it or not 2 lbs can make a difference on times. See chart below. And for me to get below 18.5 BMI I would have to weigh 108lbs which is NEVER going to happen.

I'm glad you asked someone. I am by no means an expert, but have read that you should eat within 30 minutes of getting up in the morning to jump start your body. It is why those that eat breakfast tend to be at a more healthy weight. Although I'm not saying that you aren't already.

If you're going to eat something, make it a scoop or two of whey protein. That will help prevent muscle deterioration. Also have some green tea, it raises metabolism.

But this is assuming you're doing the cardio within 30-45 minutes after waking up. If it's longer than that, you should eat more. Oatmeal is good. Don't eat any fast-burning carbs like juice or white bread --- They burn fast, so your body will use them for fuel instead of burning fat.

Yea, I could tell as I was losing weight it was easier to cut time. My shoulder always holds me back though, i hurt it pitching college ball a couple years back. Now it just cramps up and locks up if I push real hard. Especially with ground running, more stress on the shoulder than a treamill. I know its laughable, but I was trying to break a 25 minute 5k a couple weeks back and it was holding me back. Then I fell off for a couple weeks, and gained a couple pounds back.
