Strength Training: More Weight Less Reps vs Less Weight More Reps

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share the health benefits using more weight vs less weight when strength training. The age old debate which is a better workout less weight with more repetitions or more weight with less reps. Does more weight make you bulky and less weight make you lean? A recent study showed that women who worked out with more weight but less reps had better results – they lost the most weight and had lower body fat. Remember to you want to use enough weight (or resistance) to make it difficult – toward the end of a set you should have a hard time doing one more rep. If it is too easy to blow through a set then you should increase the resistance and/or the weight. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

Roy shared some behind the scenes skinny on putting together the MF25 list of the 25 Fittest Men in the World. He also shared some exercise and fitness tips for our listeners. He thinks guys should be working out for life rather than bulking up for looks. Such as forget the latest gadgets – go old school with push ups, sit ups and pull ups. He told the story of how Herschel Walker (who is on the list) does thousands of push ups and sit ups each day instead of going to the gym. Roy thinks regular men can learn some things from the athletes and celebrities featured in his magazine. For example…train year round; have a passion for getting better and getting in shape and vary your workout so your body doesn’t get used to the same old routine mix things up every 6-8 weeks. Check out May’s issue and see who made the list of the 25 fittest men in the world and get workout tips from NCIS: Los Angeles star Chris O’Donnell.

The Fat Guy Says Exercise is Like Cooking Not Baking. And He Knows A Thing or Two About Food.

The Fat Guy Says Exercise is Like Cooking Not Baking. And He Knows A Thing or Two About Food.

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why exercise is like cooking not baking. The Fat Guy has a new theory about working out. Please share your thoughts and comments because it is a little controversial. He just started lifting weights again so that is what started this theory. He says you should work out like you cook not like how you bake. For example when the Fat Guy has 30 minutes at the gym he doesn’t carry a notebook with the names of exercises and the weight and how many reps he has to do, etc. He just wanders the gym and goes machine to machine trying to hit the major body parts. He sets the machine on a low but challenging weight then does one set at a very slow pace (as slow as 10 seconds per rep) until he can’t do another rep. If he feel like to doing more arms than legs then Bam, just like Emeril he does more arms then legs. This is opposed to those people who log in every rep like it’s a science experiment. They are following their work out like Duff from Ace of Cakes makes his Girl Scout Cookie cake. The Fat Guy thinks if you are more unstructured while you exercise you will stay compliant longer and get good enough results to keep you going. Dr Fitness thinks you need to write things down to get the most results in the shortest time. What do you think? Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
