@RollTide in here posting about bulking up in a weight loss thread lol wut
For some of us fatties, "bulking up" isn't necessary BUT there is a connection.
Calories burned weight lifting and such should be higher than cardio business.
So while losing weight (or possibly not even losing weight by lbs.) people can transform the look and have it longer lasting vice losing any of those gains super quick.
Started deployment at 5' 10" appx 220-225.
My job consists of sitting in a chair for the majority of the day, but I get my cardio in, typically 3x a week.
Just food change and the requirement to go up and down ladder wells (Navy steps) for all meals helped me lose a little over 20lbs. since Nov.
5'10" still (lol)
but I'm down to appx 200.
Lots of running. Not impressive to any actual runners, but impressive to me, I ran a full marathon within 1 week, 7 days (26.2 miles).
I also enjoy the Row machines which is a bit more of a workout. I avg about 7200 meters in 30 minutes.
