Exercise and Weightloss

Disproved you could lose a massive amount of weight from just sitting in a sauna.

And yes you can lose a few pounds from it but nothing significant.

Sent from the mod station in Nome, Alaska.

don't you just gain it back once you get out and drink water though? I remember discussing it with my mom a few years ago and she said it doesn't really do anything.

Yes, thats why it is called water weight. Now, some people retain more water than others thats why it varies. Anyone who has to make a weight class usually dehydrates themselves of this "water weight" so they make the weight then they can eat and drink and put back on weight before the match or competition to be strong.

When I was AD USAF the sauna at the base gymn would be packed the night before weigh ins. Guys would be in there for hours so they could make weight. You can certainly lose a few pounds of water weight short term.

If you want to get really lean (8% or lower to see your abs on most guys), you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO eat right. There is no other way around it. You have to be in a calorie deficit and you have to weight train. The 90/10 rule is pretty effective in your diet. 90% healthy unprocessed foods and 10% whatever you want as long as you keep your deficit. Weight training should be 5 to 6 days a week with a split routine. Cardio should be done a few times a week but is not nearly as important as strength training. I can not stress that enough. If you only do cardio and you diet, you will turn into Jared Leno from Dallas Buyers Club. And that is only if you have the discipline to keep that going for 6 plus months. That will make you more unattractive.

If you are getting results but then plateau, you might want to introduce carb cycling. Google Lyle McDonald Ultimate Diet 2.0 and you can get a free pdf of a great training and diet program to get you from an above average body to shredded. Don't do this though if you are still at like 15% body fat. It will work but it is unecessary to get down to 10% or so.

Always remember that nothing you eat tastes as good as it feels to be fit. Furthermore, nothing you eat will be satisfying the next day. Keep those 2 thoughts in mind and be positive about your progress. Shoot for the stars.

I am so glad I don't want to get really lean.

I love being big; I was bod podded in college at 267lbs @ 17 percent Body fat and looked good in clothes, decent without a shirt and felt amazing.

If I was a beta manlet maybe I would care about seeing teh abzzzz when 8 mos a yr its cold enough to wear a hoodie in Chicago. I am still confused as to why 5"9 165lbs "men" think having visible abs is some sort of accomplishment.....my brother had abs at 6; he was just scrawny, congrats.

I agree with you to an extend. If you are bigger, you will look good with just over double digit fat. For the smaller guys, for their muscles to really POP OUT, they need to be single digit. Otherwise, they just look small and average.
