Weight Loss Definition Training

kbakersjsu Posts: 8 Joined: 2002/07/04	2002/07/23, 09:31 PM I am new to FT and I absolutley love the site... but I am having some reasoning difficulties. I have always been told in my training that training opposing muscles on the same day was bad (ie. bi's and tri's). However in the "Weight Loss & Definition Training" course and chosen for 4 days of working out it does exactly that along with pairing the back and front of the thighs. Perhaps my reasoning is off, but either way I need help. Thank you. ---------------------------- -KB

(funny that somebody should say that) Actually it help the other muscle recover a lot faster (when you're working the biceps the triceps do the active recovering etc) Don't worry, it's just another way of working out. As I said, nothing bad about that. -------------- - Nina :o) Vous êtes tous magnifiques!

I have also found that my arms are developing faster. Thank you for the input!! -------------- -KB Be Brave enough to live life with joy!
