Q&A - Marc Lobliner / Tiger Fitness Q&A

Hi, I am a 62 year old male who over the past year and a half has lost 95 pounds my question is how can I lose the remaining body fat around my mid section?

I go to the gym 6 times a week and do steady state cardio 5 times a week for 40 minutes, am I doing too much, and will that keep me from achieving my goal of showing abs, I am not looking to get ripped just want to look good.

Thank you!

AWESOME WORK! You need to adjust your calories to lose. See www.dropfactorbook.com. You might need to break out a food scale to be accurate!

I play baseball as a catcher and typically catch between 2-4 games a week. Should I still do heavy weights for leg day or is playing catcher enough to maintain/gain muscle in my legs

You will need to really overload to grow and gain strength. I would do less volume and more load

I never liked Keto and especially one that takes you in and out like this so energy source is always an issue. See www.dropfactorbook.com

How many sets per week per muscle group for size?

9 years ago • updated by 9 years ago • 2

I know you have stated in the past that it's best to follow either a beyond failure style of training or a higher volume and less intense style because doing both volume and intensity can be too much. How many sets per week per muscle group would you say is optimal for muscle growth when comparing an intense beyond failure style to a higher volume style where failure is not reached as often. Thank you!

It just depends on the person! As you progress, you adapt to higher volumes. But there is no one size fits all for training. Here is a GREAT 4 day a week program with overload built in: https://content.tigerfitness.com/vpo-10-training-muscle-growth/

Help! How can I get my girlfriend more into fitness?

9 years ago • updated by 9 years ago • 2

She keeps complaining about gaining weight but does not listen to me when I suggest what to do. I love fitness and so I teach her all I know. I take her to the gym with me but she is just not into it. We have tried running, hiking, you name it and she just wishes she can lose weight without work. Anything maybe I haven't thought of would be great. We will be trying kickboxing next week, hopefully she likes kicking and punching... Thanks.

The key is, don't nag her! She needs to want to do it. Invite her to train with you. If she doesn't want her, SUPPORT THAT! Trying to force her into your way of life will only drive you apart!
