And the thread is NOT about the quickest way to lose fat. It is the quickest way to lose weight. And I already posted the best answer.

You must be some kind of sad troll that frequents the internet merely to keep yourself amused at the expense of others.

dicktard
the 4% BF was aimed at your boy

and Im giving this dude info on the quickest way to lose wieght propely, wich is from fat.

actually I have a 9-5 in wich I play on the internet all day and get good pay. So I get my kicks finding assholes missinforming people about fitness related things and denouncing there "scientific case studies" and shit.

Sean - can the effect be replicated when cycling? I was thinking, count ten pedals high intensity, and then 30 low intensity, and keep that up?

Yes, an interval is an interval is an interval. You can do it on a bike, running, etc.

Another different type of interval training is called Tabata intervals. It's basically 20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest for 8 sets. That's 4 minutes, 66% of which is 85-90% of max effort...max effort being the max that you could put out on that set, taking into account the previous sets. They work very well for increasing VO2max as well.

The original suggestion was 9 seconds of High Intensity Sprinting versus 27 Seconds of Walking.

It certainly seems like 9 seconds of out-of-the-saddle full intensity sprinting followed by 27 seconds of seated moderate pedalling would replicate this. I would be careful about using pedal strokes as a timer though. You should be pedalling faster when in sprint mode (assuming you are not changing gears for your sprint), so the ratio would be different.

I too am curious about other definitions of "High Intensity" activities. Possibly some of the experts could suggest some. For example, would 9 seconds of left-right combinations on the heavy bag done at maximum power and speed followed by 27 seconds of stumbling around and sucking wind, repeated for 45 minutes, count as a HIIT workout?

its not the method, its the mode.


9 seconds is the golden time, since that is about how long the myoglobin will last. That is what is important. The whole purpose of this is to do it a certain way biochemically. Any longer than like 9 seconds, and you move to the next fuel source (glucose).

you can even do 9 then 18 seconds rest, but most people need like 27

its doesn't matter what you do so long as it is INTENSE to the extreme, followed by total relax. Running is easy, biking is kinda easy, jump roping is easy, eliptical trainers are great.

I personally do eliptical trainers.

Sure, if your heartrate is high enough. typically the stuff is heavy on leg movement since there is so much more muscle down there to burn the fat (since fat loss is bodywide and not targetted).

But yeah, if you think you can get the intensity out of bag work, sure. I don't do heavy bag or anything, so I can't talk from experience. Try it out.

I'm so glad!


I may give this 9 seconds on, 27 second off interval training a shot.

"and BTW bodybuilder at contest time might have 4%BF, but any other time that is impossible you would have to be in a severe calorie defeciet and would probaly feel like shit all day from lack of energy....."

Impossible?? Funny, cause I had myself hydrostatically weighed. By no means am I deficient in calories(if you read it said 3000-5000 calories and thats for only 140 lbs and most of the time at the higher end of that scale.) and by no means do I lack energy.
Get out of your books and realize that every body is different and science is not fact. Life is fact. Science is the generalization of what actually is and I was actually at 4% at the time when I was weighed:P. Even the drugs that we have that are "proven" by science don't work for everyone.

[grubbogoppoly]

Can even go get the papers and break down all the numbers for you. THe exact number was 4.6%. Got to go, but I will post it later.

[Sean Dempsey]

I ran at about 3-5% for a number of years, was just fine. My body and metabolism was BUILT to run at 5% bodyfat.

It depents more on the person's genetic makeup and metabolism. I suffered *NO* ill effects from having it so low for so long, it's just how god made me.

Of course, I am much higher now since I am in a constant bulking phase =)

Well!!!

I did a HIIT routine yesterday!!!

And ....
