Bench i do about 250 but i just started training chest and haven't benched for about 2 years. i am trying to use low weight to cut down on the BF do any of you have any suggestions? And jogging is not an option due to knee cap probs and shin splints at the momnet lol

Aspec

Your low weight weight training is not going to get you where you need to go body fat wise.

It's all Diet and Cardio.

Try the elliptical since you have knee issues!

I don't lift weights

For endurance training, I do several different things depending on the day, and I switch it up all the time. I'm always trying new things, reading about new methods, etc. I like to jog hills, but mostly I just go round after round on the heavy bag. I also like to just throw punches and kicks at nothing sometimes. I'll do a routine like 400 punches, 200 kicks, and then 50 punch/kick combos. Sometimes I like to practice foot work and just move forward, jab, move to the side, jab, move back, jab, move forward, etc..this isn't very tiring so I'll do it for like 25 minutes straight. Maybe once every other week or so, I'll just do the same move a bunch of times. Last week I did 800 front kicks in a row.

I'll also do what I call bursts, a variation of something Sitnspin was telling me about a while ago. I'll throw 20 power punches, only straights, uppercuts, and hooks, as fast and as hard as I can, and then I'll rest for five seconds and do it again, and then just keep going and do as that as many times as possible.

Yes, but it's not something I train for. I'm sure they would be higher if I trained for strength.

Actually cardio has nothing to do with it. As long as you are eating under your maintenance calories each day, you will lose weight. It's 90% diet and 10% training. And yes, the elliptical is clutch for knee problems.

You think you're going to 'diet' to a point your body is burning more than it takes in without you doing cardio? That's crazy and unhealthy.

This is why people work out and diet.

I apologize that you took it that way.

I just find the comment to be so far removed from the normalcy of training that I responded that way. (Although I have to say I dont think it was remotely critical)

GSPALLTHEWAY

what is your background? are you a nutristionist or something? i think thats possible to do to some degree....

Aspec

I am not a nutritionist. You dont need to be one to know about this ****.

It is VERY possible, you just cut your caloric intake below what your body needs to survive in a day. The problem is that this is not healthy. You wont lose 'fat' this way. You'll lose everything. The body will canabalize your muscle and fat. You wont maintain any level of fitness or endurance.

This is why you have fat training zones in cardio; you are trying to get your body into a zone where the caloric burn is fat based.

GSPALLTHEWAY

yea if you cut your calories below 1700 a day for a week or 2 or beyond you will start to lose muscle... although thats very few calories to take in per day.. i agree cardio is important, but over a long period of times its not outlandish to do it mostly with diet

Aspec

Doing only with diet serves what purpose for an active person? You will lose all your endurance and strength. Why? Simply because you are not integrating a work out into your fat burning process.

As far as "1700 calories or below," you can't make a statement like that. Caloric needs are based on lots of things which include, sex, height, weight, metabolism, genetics. All of those things come into play when you try to figure out minimum caloric needs.

GSPALLTHEWAY

forgot to mention adult males and 1300 for adult females... those are averages and they are facts... have to remember myself, sitnspin and others have backgrounds in this and or degrees... im not making these numbers up... by no means am i saying cardio doesnt do that so muchfaster, im just stating A: it is possible to cut fat over awhile with just diet if you live an active life quite easily (much slower then with cardio) B: losing muscle from a lack of calories is not an immediate process
