its not so much the weight you pull... more emphasis on form. at first, your smaller / less active muscles are weak and are needed to stabilize and exercise so start with manage-able weights and focus on form - MIND & BODY. and squeeze for a second or two at the end of the rep. it really burns
- do bruce lee sets. dont start counting until it starts to burn. cuz thats when it only starts to count
As you get used to the exercise, you naturally can do more reps... at which point is a good time to try something heavier.
compound exercises really help promote muscle growth / testosterone levels and metabolism. from personal experience, they work really well at shaping the lower half of the body. (love handles) that is impossible to get rid of with other exercises....
As far as diet is concerned, I keep things healthy.... eat when I am hungry... so 3-5times a day...
I am not strict on diet. Guys need the fat to make testosterone and the meat to repair muscles... cant run on lean...
But you also dont need an excess of it either... so.... I guess everyone has to figure it out themselves....
