[chris-h]

hey. im new to the scene and will be hopefully competing in the waikato or palmy show.. my question is.. other than the diet and training with layers on, what are other ways to help decrease my bodyfat percentage?

training with layers on

Where did you get this idea from? Layers of clothing won't help. Or are you feferring to your layers of fat?

Hi

training with layers on

thought this was bulshit too, but never looked into it. f*ck training in 3 shirts a hoodie and beanie.

You have to include lifestyle factors such as disruptive sleep/wake cycles which can lead to an increase in body-fat by way of stress hormones such as cortisol

Why wouldnt it help? more sweating = more burning fat

[agent86]

Is it true that the more I sweat, the more fat I lose?

Not necessarily. If you sweat because you are exercising in extreme heat or humidity or because you are wearing "rubberized" clothing, the weight lost is only water and not fat. When you eat and drink, those lost pounds return almost as fast as they left. Since you have to burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound of fat, do not be fooled into thinking that the three pounds you have lost by staying twenty minutes in a steam room is composed of fat.

Don't be fooled either into thinking that if you are not actively sweating while you are exercising, very few calories are being burned. Running on a treadmill in an air-conditioned gym will probably produce less visible sweat than taking a five minute leisurely walk outside in the heat of the noonday sun and yet, will burn many more calories.

Im not saying its some magic fix but how can it hurt. When Ive dropped weight Ill wear another layer might be a placebo effect but it worked for me.

39 meals a day and d-bol for breakfast.

If sweating got rid of fat why wouldn't you just sit in a sauna?

I think it is the placebo effect- water loss from sweating, you think you've lost fat but it's just water.

That a give in, Im not talking about 30 layers of clothing and a 5kg fat loss a week, like I said it cant hurt.
