Should I lessen the intensity and continue the same frequency? Or lift less frequently but still go to failure? Is it detrimental to continue lifting as much or is it just kinda useless since I won't be building much mass? Is it possible to actually lose fat and gain muscle at the same time? What kind of diet and workout routine would that demand?    | ||

I think you would be find continuing at the same frequency, you may end up having to lower the intensity on lower body days if you find it not allowing you to do all of your cardio. Lifting to build muscle shouldn't have a negative effect on the loss of fat, the fat will go but the muscle will continue to build up. I'm not the best with the diet part of it, but I think cutting most of your desserts and eating a good amount of vegetables and fruits will be good. Make sure to keep eating protein though to keep building your muscles up. I heard that it is actually better to eat many small meals a day, rather than three main meals. Maybe someone else can give better advice than me though, especially on the diet part. Good luck with this! | ||

A healthy balance of both cardio and weight training will certainly help you do both but it isn't optimal for either catagory specifically. Split workout time in half and do half cardio and half muscle training. If you want to build muscle focus on fewer reps with more weight. Go to failure but work different muscle groups with at least 3 days inbetween. That is a rough bit of advice but I can go on with more specifics. | ||

"Eat Healthy, don't eat bad foods!" "Do this workout plan!" "Incorporate HIIT into your training." "Get lots of protein! Take your vitamins!" Well unless he's retarded, he probably has the common sense to know all this. Here's some useful advice, take creatine and yes, it is much easier to lose weight and still gain muscle as long as you are cutting completely clean. Get a pre work out supplement too, such as NO-Xplode or SuperPump250. Lift hard, gain hard, lose weight, and complain when your fingers are so muscular you can't press the keys. | ||

For weights, aim for amounts that you can do 10-12 reps to failure on and like Geoff said, 3 days break before you work the same group again. In fact a lot of pros will tell you do just work each group once per week, alternating heavy/light weeks. Anyway... if you eat to your resting metabolic rate + exercise daily, you should lose weight. It varies by metabolism - being a guy who eats foot long subs at subway and stays thin, I'm guessing you've got a strong one, so just do HIIT cardio and eat a normal calorie load and you should be fine. I looked this up for an RMR calculator, this will give you a rough idea of the calories you need: http://www.start-losing-weight-today.com/rmr.html Of course for the best results, spend $200 and go consult a dietitian or hire a personal trainer for 1 session per month. | ||

I don't know much about workout routines that will best reduce fat, but I do know that it is not possible to both gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, as my swim coach has told me millions of times. Losing fat requires a decrease in calorie intake whereas building muscle requires an increase, causing it to be impossible for both to happen. | ||
