Hey! I'm currently concentrating on arm, chest, and core. Also calorie counting. I understand that trying to loose weight and gain muscle isn't best to do at the same time. But I so far it's worked for losing weight. Lost 16 pounds in 2 months. Which is right at my 2 lbs a week goal.
My big question is I'm using 30 pound dumbbells for my chest and arm workouts. Switching every other day. In ex. I'm doing 3 sets-12 dumbbell press. 3-sets-12 chest fly. 3 sets-12 push ups with resistance bands. Plus stretching with bands before and after workout. I'm doing all the workouts until my arms and chest are fatigued to were I can't do another rep. Drink whey protein afterwards. Within an hour there is no sourness or fatigue anymore. I'm wanting to know if my workout is positive and and if recovering this fast is a good thing.
I'm 5'10". 220 pounds. 25 years old.

Your current routine is a good one. It is working well for you, so I say keep up the good work. When you challenge your muscles, you strengthen then, and you also reduce your body fat percentage. However, it is important for you to allow your muscles to rest. Make sure that you have at least one rest day in your exercise routine every week. Leave a Reply
