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).
How much muscle you lose depends on a lot of things, but especially your diet and exercise. Keep protein levels high (at least one gram per pound of body weight), and try to keep cardio sessions short. I would try to do two 15 minute sessions. Splitting it will cause you to lose less muscle. want to maintain my size and still lose fat, so how much cardio should I be doing? At the moment I do 20 minutes hard, someone told me to do just 10 but I don't know, was wondering that the yahoo answers community thought about this. Thanks.
