Each box in this grid is called a cell. âColumnâ A B C D E F G âRowâ 1 âCellâ 2 3 4 Spreadsheets can be created by hand, using paper and pencil, or created with a computer software program. In computer software programs, the columns are labeled with letters (A, B, C ...) and the rows are numbered (1, 2, 3 ...).
Letâs say youâre performing seated shoulder presses 3 times a week. You use 15 lb. dumbbells and do 4 sets of 12 reps each on each day. You can probably maintain the muscle mass you have now by only doing shoulder presses once a week, instead of 3 times. (!!!) However, you need to continue to do appropriate volume (4 sets of 12, maybe a little more) with the same intensity (15 lb. dumbbells).
When you wish to lose weight most doctors recommend at least 30 minutes a day of some form of cardio exercise five times per week or more. This can be combined with a weight training regimen similar to the two times per week per muscle group routine discussed above.hen engaging in mainly a weight lifting routine, whether it be to lose weight or gain muscle mass, the best option for most people is to train each muscle group two times per week. Each workout should last for approximately 30-40 minutes.
