Hey, what's good on.

0:01.1

Guys.

Welcome back to Jeremy Scuffin's podcast, a radio show coming to you on this Wednesday night

0:05.5

here.

0:06.5

With an episode, we are talking, what is better for fat loss?

0:12.0

Cardio or lifting weights?

0:14.8

Aerobic work or jack and steel?

0:17.6

Technical terms, I guess, aerobic versus anaerobic exercise or anaerobic work. With an asteris,

0:24.8

when I say anaerobic stuff, it's not just confined to lifting and moving weight around. There

0:30.1

is other things that do fit into that bucket, which we'll dive into in more detail. But just

0:35.2

responding to the questions that you have sent me over the past year,

0:39.7

you know, where would I spend my time, effort, energy in terms of if I wanted to be lean? Would

0:44.4

I spend more time doing aerobic work, more time on weights? What's the split? What's the

0:48.9

percentage? You know, should you do cardio before you lift weights or vice versa after.

0:58.0

And I'm not going to break down the difference between the two and hopefully paint a picture for you that obviously makes sense.

1:00.6

I think there's a time in place for everything.

1:03.0

But really the question we should ask is, you know, what are your goals?

1:06.8

What are you trying to accomplish in terms of, you know, how your body looks and how your body performs? Is performance the goal? Is aesthetics the goal? Is there, you know, some kind of, you know, marriage of those two in between? I think obviously then they all of us want to look, you know, a certain way, but some people obviously want to be leaner than others. And for some people, it's easier than others. Some people want to build mass. And the frustrating thing that I hear a lot of times is people will message me and say, hey, Jeremy, I'm this tall, I weigh this, but I want to be, you know, I want to put on muscle, but I also want to drop 5% body fat, which we've already touched on other podcasts. You know, unless you're literally the novice level it's probably not going to happen past

you know the initial beginner gain stage I there's no way in anybody can correct me here

And there's no way at this point I'm going to get bigger and leaner at the same time. I would argue even probably taking the best drugs, I don't think it is possible. So that's why we touch on this, you know, what is better for fat loss and understanding that you have to be crystal clear on your goals of what you're trying to do. Either you're trying to get leaner or you're trying to get bigger. You're not going to do those two things at the exact same time. Now over an extended period of time, we can change composition and things like that, but
