lol…. “ow weight … lol…. “ow weight high rep burns more fat than low rep high weight” uh no…. INTENSITY burns fat, and builds muscle, and you can acquire intensity by training smart, whether it is low rep high weight, or mod weight high reps. intensity is all about time under strain and the workload the muscle is performaning in a given ammount of time. intensity = booted up heart rate/metabolism = fat burning machine.

never over work … never over work your muscles. 3 times a week is plenty. Great video by the way, even though it seems self explanitory, it’s amazing how many don’t do it correctly.

muscular= 4sets(4thset as many as possible) 10reps heavy weight 3 times a week 1 day running
leg extention and … leg extention and leg curl suck, squats, dealifts and leg press and maybe some calf raises are all you need, leg extentions and leg curls will not really help much
Does a leg press … Does a leg press work your entire lower body? If I do this excercise does this mean that I don’t have to do a leg extension or leg curl?
