Hi Ladies!
I have some questions for the some of the weight training veterans. First, I've read all kinds of fitness magazines and they say many different things on weight training. I am very confused. Some say that I should do 4 sets of 15-20 reps for long lean muscles. Others say that I should do 3 sets of heavier weight so that I can only do 8 to 10 reps. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't really want to be bulky but I want a lot of definition and reduced body fat of course. I have put myself on a 1500 to 1800 calorie diet based on the information I read in the Sports Nutrition book. I calculated how many calories I need and then subtracted 10% to create a calorie deficit. So far, I don't feel deprived. I am eating about 50% carbs, 30% protein, and 20% fat. Also, how many days per week can I do abs? I've heard everyday and then I've heard every other day. Thanks for your time.
