Lifting Weight

to Lose Weight?!

A dynamic, life-altering, scientific mystery

unpacked for you!

Don’t let the big word at the end of this blog side-line your intensity! For just 12 years I have been training, studying, and looking for the BEST ROUTE to YOUR GOALS!!! Amidst the hype of the Fergalicious, Keeping up with the Kardashian’s Booty Calls, and Jessica Simpson’s Fat Pants diets, I found a DIAMOND in the rough concerning your metabolism and weight loss. Perhaps you want to train with weights because someone told you that you could have Madonna’s arms, or Jamie Eason’s tooshy. In other words, you want to be toned, not bulky, and want to lose weight all at once. BE CAREFUL! What you learn next can dramatically increase or decrease the look you’re going for. If you’re a trainer reading this blog, you will also find the key to the plateau you need to help your client break. Regardless of whether you’re the client, or the trainer, I’ve got 3 points to drill, DRILL, DRILLLLL into your head right now!

Nutrition – You must keep a nutrition journal and know EXACTLY what your calorie intake is. If you’re off by just as few as 50 kcals per day, you can throw off your effort to achieve the tight body you’re looking for.

Lifting Heavy Weights will not make you Bulky! Your nutrition will make you bulky. (Refer to point 1)

Every resistance based muscular contraction you make, i.e. every push-up you do, releases a natural chemical. The chemical has the effect of a steroid. YES A STEROID! The chemical activates ALL MUSCLE FIBERS, regardless of the AMOUNT OF WEIGHT!! If all muscle fibers are engaged you must be getting bulky right? Wrong!! Refer to point 1! Nutrition, Nutrition, Nutrition!!!

If your nutrition is in the right place this natural chemical will not have such a dramatic effect on your physique and lifting weight will be the staple that creates the BURNING metabolism your skinny little friend was born with! This substance of ‘amazingness’ runs through everyone’s body, but can also be the difference in you losing, gaining, or maintaining. Its effects can be limited however if your NUTRITION is in the right place. What is this magical substance your body creates you ask? Acetylcholine.
