Can you loose weight by doing compound lifts 3x a week?
You can lose weight not doing any lifting or cardio, just eating less.

But lifting would accelerate that + build some strenght and muscles right?
Delete this thread and read the sticky please.

Accelerate? No.
Retain / gain muscle? Yes.
>>36541003
Yes, to building strength and muscles.
Sort of for accelerating fat loss, but not really. Like, here's the issue. Humans have adapted to the world to be EXTREMELY efficient when it comes to how much energy we expend doing activity. So much so that it's kind of pointless to use lifting/cardio as a way to loss fat. Yes it helps, but it's really ineffective. The most effective way to loss fat is to simply eat less.
Once you learn calories from food, and how much calories you really burn from activity, you will soon realize you can literally eat back 1 hour of cardio or lifting, within 30 seconds of eating. Hence why, it's just better to put the fork down, and focus on mostly eating only what you need to eat, and not what you want.

Alright

Thanks anon for that detailed answer
If you didn't ignore the dinosaur and actually read the fucking sticky, you would have your answer.
>>36541038
It's not even a T-rex, someone should update it.
>>36541033
this is pretty accurate, although personally I have noticed that high volume lifting routines allow me to eat a whole lot more without gaining weight than low volume routines
creating a deficit through exercise alone isn't practical, just cut your calories
>>36541030
Well that's wrong. If you lift weights you are increasing your total daily calorie output.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE EVER READ THE FUCKING STICKY?????FUCK YOU AND YOUR RETARDED QUESTION
If you eat the exact same amount of food but do compound lifts 3 times a week you'll gain strength and lose fat
you may slowly gain muscle mass for a while but it'll be slow going and it'll stop soon
>>36540992
Fpbp
>>36542060
So what do to not stop gaining muscle mass
>>36543390
Eat more you fucking idiot
>>36543390
yeah just eat more
high protein diet with moderate amounts of fat and carbs
>>36541303
By a small amount
Lifting doesn't burn that many calories
