i remember someone mentioning running right when you wake up is the best time to run? someone have any sources where they heard this? or just give me more information in general would be great!
For fat breakdown maybe.. although youd be absolutely destroying your muscles at the same time. Think about it, youve just woke up and been without food for 8+ hours, your body has nowhere to get calories but your muscles and fat. I dunno any guys who want to deplete their muscles like that but, if you want to be skinny and weak as hell, be my guest :o

mistapooh what metabolism? you have no food in your system.
As dumb as this may sound, but its true - the more you eat the faster your metabolism is. Losing weight = running alot and eating alot. Believe it, its true. If you just ran alot and never ate your body would try and HOLD ON to everything you feed it. Your body has to be in a state that it expects food to be given to it on a constant basis for it to want to get rid of it faster.

the reason why you should be running right after you wake up or more correct before you eat breakfast, is because that's when you'll burn the most calories.

High intensity/low volume would NOT be good for a beginner at all. How is he going to be able to put maximum effort when he cant even lift properly? At this point he's going to have a lot of wasted sets and the weight is going to be very low anyway, so he's not going to be able to cause enough damage with those low sets to get any decent results. I think doing as a beginner you have to work out more frequently in order to get your muscles and nervous system adapted to lifting the weights, plus it makes strength gains come quickly. The type of training your talking about does work but only if you can lift enough/know enough to go completely balls to the wall and is best for people who have been lifting for a while. With low volume you're not leaving any room for error, and what you get with beginners is them substituting squats with leg extensions or something.
Edit: He also doesnt need 6 months to get bigger, at 140 it would be more like 2+ years without cutting.

Yeah but it ends up being the calories you dont want to burn. Personally when I try to lose fat I dont do any cardio until im very close to my goal to keep muscle.

The guy who wrote my program was 130 pounds and 5'11 or something, and these principles allowed him as a BEGINNER to increase his weight to like 195 and be both extremely fit and strong.
Cant lift properly?(assuming he cant, we dont even know). When i began as a beginner i was able to do every single exercise that was asked of me. the olympic bars weigh only 45 pounds anyway, anyone is able to lift those properly without the chance of being injured or not being able to perform 5-7 reps(2 sets normally). If someone is not strong, he uses less weight.. its that simple. My first week was lower weights so that i could allow my body to adapt, and so can his i believe.. everyone has to start somewhere, and obviously the first week or two would be trial and error. Btw - after my first week my strength skyrocketed, and ive progressed so quickly after only being on this program for 2 months.

You'll be burning more calories when you just wake up, but as ApollyoN said it'll be calories you don't want burned (ie. muscle).

If you are like obese, as in so fat that it wouldnt matter what your muscular strength is then yea by all means, run on an empty stomach.. Otherwise its stupid as hell, maybe alot of women do this, but if you want to lose body fat, this is gonna do that and deplete your muscles faster than you can imagine.

I see, so does it matter if you eat breakfast then run after you wake up? Or is it the same as just running sometime in the middle of the day?

The reason running on an empty stomach burns more calories is because you're muscle glycogen stores are empty when you wake up, so your body has to look for other sources. So it starts to use itself, in the form of fat(good) and muscle(bad). Basically it thinks you're starving, and since fat stores last longer it will use up primarily muscle. Just a survival mechanism. Before running, if you have to do it in the morning, I would recommend you eat some carbs, like a bannana or other fruit, and some low-fat protein at least 30 minutes before hand. Otherwise do it later in the day.

You really should try to keep a food-log and make keep bumping up your calories weekly until you try to gain weight. People who are trying to gain eat less than they think they do, people trying to lose eat more than they think they do. Make sure you're getting enough protein, like 2 grams for every lb. of bodyweight.
Most people's diets are horrible for getting an athletic physique, as far as I can tell most people dont eat enough meat or often enough. Someone in this thread recommended a 55/30/15 carb/fat/protein diet which would be retarded for gaining muscle but is what I suspect is close to what most people get. 40/30/30 carb/fat/protein is much better, no reason for people to eat so many carbs throughout the day in most cases.

Heh I'm around 5'10 and 145 lbs but I don't think I'm skinny =/
Ever considered taking martial arts SuN-TzU? If you're not looking to bulk up, it can be more fun and more productive.
