blacknwhite5783 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hey all, I've ben gaining weight and lifting heavier as time goes- I've been on 5x5 and visiting the gym 3-4 times weekly since August. I've increased my food intake also. But I notice that my waist has expanded- which is not a big problem, but I feel I've got more fats around the back of my hips. I'm thinking of jogging again to keep it in check, as well as watching my diet more carefully. But how many times a week should I jog? Kind of not sure as I don't want to loose my strength at the gym too. Any advice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 If you're worried about strength gains just keep a close eye on your training log to see the effect cardio is having on your gains. If it doesn't work out try a different type of cardio, or reduce/drop it. Worth a shot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatburningfurnace Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Your card isn't going to effect your strength unless you are overdoing it so please don't worry about that. Put aside at least 3.5 hours a week for cardio and make sure that you do high rep ab exercises and you will start to see your waste shrink.
