xmattx Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 so about 3 years ago i seriously wrecked my knee playing soccer. i tore every tendon and was unable to run or even move properly. prior to that i used to play soccer, ride, and skate at least a few times a week. in the last 3 years i have lost all my muscle and put on fat. i weigh less now but not in the good way. i have had knee surgery and am taking martial arts now. my problem is i have no muscle or endurance. when i work out to build muscle i get smaller. i am sure that is just losing fat. i need a workout plan and diet plan that will lose fat, build muscle, and hopefully show some quick results. i don't want to lose fat weight w/o gaining muscle simultaniously. any help would be appreciated. thanks matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmartMonkey Ani Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 hi matt remember to give yourself time to see resultsit's been 3 years, so it may take you almost this amount of time to get back to where you were amazingly, muscle has memory, so when we do start exercising again, our muscles snap back quicklyyou sound like you were super fit before your injury, so you'll be back in no time, i'm sure muscle eats up our fatfor me with aging and all the fasts i've done, i noticed my metabolism slowed downto speed it up again, i've been lifting weights (i don't want bulk, so do 3 sets of about 20 reps each) about 3 times a week, plus i do cardio to burn calories and for my heart about 5 times a week the more weights you lift, the more lean muscle mass you'll build, the more fat you'll burn.i'm not sure of your goals, sounds like you were lean before, rather than bulky like a body builder and of course, nutrition is keyi'm a raw fooder, so i enjoy eating nuts, seeds, fruits and veggiesfor lots of protein, i love vega after a hard workout, or hemp protein, or some blue green algae like spirulina, and sea veggies and pre workout, i enjoy SmartMonkey Bars for healthy fuel as they're naturally sweetened with dates and fruits, full of nuts and seeds for protein drinking protein smooties made from nuts, hemp, seeds is also a great way to get nutrients i'd also guess that you are indeed getting smaller because you're loosing fat, which is a good thingonce you get smaller, weights and good nutrition will give your body the right building blocks to regenerate and grow it's like with cleansing, you first get really small and some look really sickly,...until they let go of all the toxins stored in our fat. after that, building up folks look really great. sort of like starting with a clean slate. hope this helpsbest wishes on your journey back to your natural healthy fit self!
