Overall athletic fitness - 9/23/2007 12:14:33 PM

Status: offline 		Okay, not really a beginner, but currently feel like one.

27 6'0 recently got to 185 6.8% bf. 20 lbs gained of lean muscle this month and happy about it.

BUT

I love sports. I gave up on A LOT of cardio over the years to gain muscle. But as an athlete first how do I transition from hypertrophy to athletic muscle without losing what I worked/ate so hard to gain?

I play bball once a week and started football again. Still quicker than most, but like I figured, the weight tires me a lot quicker. Hamstrings start pulling since not used to running so much anymore and endurance fibers have been somewhat ignored. Plus some joints are nagging me from supporting all the weight and pounding if I play.


Thought I wanted to stop at 190 and not reach 200. But now I'm curious how 200 will look on me then perhaps "cut" by getting back in cardio shape and shed some weight?

I planned on slowing down once at a weight around 195 and just maintain it with less work. But I definately want to stay in athletic shape and am concerned about falling below 170 again.


Should I slow my hypertrophy work and try to find a balance of more cardio with heavy lifting? If so how? I can't imagine resting and eating even more to recover trying to achieve both again.

Status: offline 		Seems like your body doesn't want to weigh that much. I'd really like to be bulky, but I'd have to do so much eating- weights, and no cardio? Even if you're hella strong, and look good- doesn't it suck to not be as quick as you want? Or maybe you should just work out, and never play sports. Seems to me if you can't put the muscles to use- outside of the gym, it's worthless. Anyways, just because you loose a little- you'll still have those muscles man. Don't worry about it so much ( my opinion ) Later.
