Don't understand your question

[BZBantam]

Doesn't matter, do whatever cardio you like. If you do not like cardio and do not care for the health benefits then just eat 150 calories less.

You're 145 pounds. Why are you trying to 'cut?'

That is like 1 slice of bread. if you want to do cardio to burn off the 150 calories then do whatever kind you least hate, makes no difference

It won't do much. Better than doing nothing though

Better options if you want to get cut

1. Do 25 min low intensity after lifting weights

2. Do 10 min hiit after lifting weights. (1 minute walk, 1 minute full out sprint)

You can also mix it up and do #1 one day and #2 another. But definitely try to see if you can handle #2. Bite the bullet and try it out. You will be sweating like crazy and seeing results

Again, neither of these options are necessary to get cut. If you must do one, the "better" option is the one you will do consistently.

You need to burn fat to look cut. And usually you can't just weight lift to accomplish this

I agree with you, do the one that you will be able to do consistently. But doing #1 may take a whole lot longer to get to your goal than option #2

#2 also = less time doing the cardio and the higher intensity gives you a better chance to burn stubborn fat

Let me get this straight. So you told the OP his planned choice won't do much, and then proceeded to suggest a "better option", which is the exact same as what he was suggesting originally?!

You don't really know anything about running a cut, do you?

Increase the intensity and trying breathing heavy when running and don't quit at it.

raise incline to about 10..at about 3.5mph...you should burn twice that amount.

[rocketdan9]

You don't really know anything about running a cut, do you?

I do. I've done from 15 percent fat to less than 10 at one point in my life. And #2 option is one of the main reasons how i accomplished this.

If you think you have the answer, than express it , instead of questioning other peoples method

Going into a cut with a boatload of cardio like you advise is the fast track to losing more muscle than fat. Not to mention it's a waste of gym time and effort.




Here are the steps to run a proper bodybuilding cut:

Ironwill2008 Basic Cut Plan
------------------------------


Eat far enough below your maintenance calorie level as to see about a pound a week drop in your bodyweight. This will be somewhere between 10 and 20% of your maintenance calorie level. Macro consistency is mandatory; weigh your portions and track them on one of the many online tracker sites. Guesswork and estimates of how much you're eating will fail you.

Eat the same amount of calories every day; don't attempt to vary carbs every day or to "carb cycle." These are more-advanced methods that shouldn't be employed by novices; they only add unnecessary complication to a process that even in basic form is already fairly detailed. The idea is to keeps things simple and manageable with a minimum of hassle.

Do only enough cardio to maintain your CV health; don't depend on it at this point to drop bodyfat; use calorie deficit to do that. Two, 20 minute sessions of LISS per week should be enough to keep things in good shape on the inside.

Cut your daily cals by cutting some carbs out of your meals. Keep your protein and fat intake intact. If you get excessively hungry during the day, snack on raw veggies; filling, with minimal calories.

By all means, continue to lift as heavy as you have been. To start lifting "light weigh for high reps" (or some other such broscience way to cut) will signal your body to burn unneeded muscle tissue, and this is especially true when on a calorie deficit. Same deal with excessive cardio; save adding-in cardio for the last few weeks of your cut, when fat loss from calorie reduction alone begins to stall out. Then would be the time to add in one or two more sessions of the cardio of your choice.


Above all, be patient, and take it slow; give things time to start working before you go overboard with calorie restriction, cardio, or anything else you think might "speed up" the process. Anything that does speed this up will very likely cost you some hard-earned muscle, and that's exactly what you don't want. In actuality, dropping fat isn't all that difficult; doing it while at the same time retaining as much muscle mass as possible is where many a 'cut' has gone down the tubes.

In addition, the only people who ever advise skinny kids to cut are other skinny kids.

You're 145 pounds. Why are you trying to 'cut?'

so i have a lean base to start my long clean cut i hate not having a nice body/six pack feel fat at 17 bf

It's your choice, ultimately.

But at 145 and your height, and especially at your age, you'd do better to turn your youthful energy and raging hormone levels to the task of building as much muscle and strength as possible for the next couple of years. You don't need to blimp-out to do this; just eat at a moderate calorie surplus, and train your tail off on a routine based on mostly compound lifts.

Your ability to build muscle will never be any greater than it is now, and it only comes around once in a lifetime. Don't waste one bit of it chasing a set of abs. They'll be relatively easy to come by further down the road when you're carrying 25-30 more pounds of muscle.

I mentioned after lifting weights. I'm assuming he lifts. And if not than yeah, lift weights more , eat more , grow more, then cut later.

His question was not, should i get cut. It was how to get cut.

i appreciate the advice its making me think hard as i want to suceed however isint it potentially unhealthy to get my bf over the 15-20% mark say i cut now till june i still have much if my youthful time to build that precious muscle , do you kund if agree or completly disagree bill?

There's no need to add a bunch of body fat as you build muscle. As I stated above, it's all about eating at a moderate surplus; it's never smart to go on a "see-food" diet.



You're gonna do what you're gonna do; just be aware that the ability to make relatively easy gains in lean mass don't last forever.

And IronWill gave him good advice on how to get cut. You still seem to believe the only way to burn bodyfat is to do cardio. You can achieve your goal physique through diet and weight training alone, suggesting a skinny kid do more cardio is bad advice.

[GeneralSerpant]

You're 145 pounds. Why are you trying to 'cut?'

Needless to say, doing 2 12.5 minute miles isn't stressful at all. I can walk at that speed, although 2 miles above 4.5 mph might be pushing it. It sounds good, but mostly as a cool-down after a work-out.

[PureFitnessNutr]

Ok that sounds boring, I hate doing cardio but doing cardio at a slow paste, it even more boring. I rather to (HIT cardio) on the treadmill for 20minutes and I burn 300 calories. Try doing that, it makes you push yourself and it feels like the cardio goes by faster.
