Fat Loss Muscle Gain.

Well I have a question.
I found a workout plan for upper body and I'm wondering if I could burn 1+ pounds of fat from this in a couple days or day.

MONDAY:

Bench press 3x10

Incline 4x3
Barbell curl 3x10
Shrugs 3x10
Lat Pulldown 3x10
Close-grip bench 3x5
Dumbbell rows 3x10
T-bar rows 3x5
3-way dumbbell raises 3x10
Wrist curls 3x10

Im sorry but i would say NO, you cant burn that much fat in that little time, only becouse your doing some routine.
 
To lose fat you should undjust your diet, and do ALOT of cardio!

You think girls look at what you lift...or what you lift it with?

You have to burn at least 3500 calories to burn a lbs of fat

I was just asking, I have no clue about this stuff.
Another question doing a rountine would build up my muscle mass but to burn off my fat for the mucles would show I would need to do Cardio?

yes you will have to do cardio.

The basic explenation is you burn more calories than you consume.

Also mostly you cant burn fat and build muscle at the same time (takes alot time)
So there is somthing such as cutting and bulking, so if you want to lose fat...go ahaid and cut, than if you think you got to a good leve, go ahaid and bulk and build some muscle

Sorry if i was too hard on ya.

Any more question...just ask

a really easy way to burn fat is alot of reps off of everything that you can do. if you want to go have some fun while losing weight, go into your backyard with a couple of budies and just wrestle until you feel like you cant anymore. this will work muscles that you never knew you had. and it should make you lose pretty quickly.

Height: 5'10"
Weight: 137 lbs
Max Bench: 185 lbs
Max Squat: 200 lbs
Goal: Do reps off of 200 lbs on bench. get alot faster and stronger. weigh 170 lbs afterwards

so HOW THE HELL are you sposed to burn fat if it takes that much callories to burn such little fat :S, any sudgestions about burning fat, and ones u can do alone

You want to gain muscle and lose fat.
you gain a pound a week..what is it, fat or muscle?
 
You need to track your bodyfat % to be sure.
 
To gain muscle and lose fat you need to have the right training and nutrition for your level of fitness and unique body.
 
Determine your metabolic needs.  that means, what the right mix of Protein carbs and fats is for you.  Then do menu planning and stick to it.
 
Start with the least possible amount of cardio.  Only add it if you are gaining muscle and fat and alterations (less fat, less protein, or less carbs as % of whole) to your menu plan do not stop the fat gains.
 
To keep the muscle gains going, you need to keep your body in the adaptation phase...that is, trying to catch up with your training.  So, your training has to keep the body unaccustomed to what you are doing.
 
Measure bodyfat weekly - at the same time, with the same tools!  Adjust your training and menu plan accordingly.  You will learn more than you can imagine and save years of gaining and losing, by going straing to your goals.

and how do you measure ur body fat please

Hey PWG
 
Look in this post for my answer to the same question you posted there: Amount of time to lose 1% body fat
 
Everyone should read the file they were sent when they joined the forum…the Top 12 Questions…alot is addressed there.
 
Go to the following post at the top of All Forums >> [Bodybuilding & Fitness] >> Nutrition
“How Many Calories Do You Need: Calorie Calculators”
 
…and download the calculator from the bottom of the post.
 
With my answer and that calculator you can:
1)    Determine your daily caloric needs for your goals
2)    Determine and track your Bodyfat (measure once a week at same time with same tools)
 
Next: You need to determine what the best mix of Protein cabs and fats for your body is.
 
Then: Create a menu plan and follow it for a week.
 
While I use a program to track my caloric intake vs. my body fat and lean mass…I DO NOT need to enter every item of food.  I do use a program as a journal and put in anything I do differently from my plan.
 
For instance, instead of rice last night with meal 5 I had sweet potato.  I had to be sure the amount of sweet potato gave me the same nutrient balance as rice.   Because something like ½ cup of rice is the same as a cup of sweet potato.
 
Over time I have worked out meals that meet my needs for 600 calories a meal in the P/F/C ratios my body needs to meet my goals…so I eat them…and if I change…then I figure out the new meal and add it to my repertoire.
 
My calories are going to go up so my meals will go to 680 calories or something…I make those adjustments once in my plan…then eat by my plan.
 
Any questions?

ok...BUT, how do i measure my body fat

I cant believe you asked that again..but ok...
 
Here is a calculator that allows you to use skinfold calipers or tape measure to determine your body fat.
http://www.pcis.net/gagne/fitness/Entry.htm
 
If you do not have calipers...just use a tape measure.  take measurements where it asks depending on male/female
 
Enter the weight age etc...weigh yourself at the time of measurement and alway weigh on the same equipment at the same time for ongoing monitoring.
 
At the bottom where it says: Body Composition Results...your bodyfat will show.
 
These tape measure measurements are not as good as caliper...but gets you started.
