That sounds just like the meat heads at my gym and is totally bogus. You need a well balanced, full body workout with plenty of rest. Rest is more important than lifting, always. Your muscles grow as they heal. One thing I will mention is the importance of water. You wanna see fat loss, make sure you keep hydrated. Drink a gallon a day... sounds like a lot, but it isn't... especially when you compare it to the other beverages you might be drinking. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:216930 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
