| I have recently joined a gym here in Philly which I really like and this morning took a Boot Camp style class which I also really enjoyed and am considering joining. The Boot Camp Class is obviously great cardio along with bodyweight, high-rep, and static moves. This class is at 6am (morning person so no issue there). Question is...if I do the class in the morning, should I train the same bodypart around 5pm with weights or focus on a different part??? Here is the Boot Camp Class Schedule: Monday - Lower Body Tuesday - Upper Body Wednesday - Cardio Thursday - Lower Body Friday - Upper Body Saturday - Cardio Sunday - Off Current goal is lean muscle mass gain. So, how should my evenings look? Thanks ahead of time. |

| If you have the energy go for it. I highly doubt that the boot camp training is geared towards muscle gain so you could do heavy compound lifting in the evenings. |

| True, seems more towards getting women into "tone" shape and fatloss. But, it's a pretty good workout and good cardio. I push a little harder myself and the instructor pushes me a little extra as well. |

| why stop there? you could attend Spinning classes and then Pilates. But you'll need to buy a nice tight pair of spandex shorts with a cute little blouse to go with it. you could tie the blouse into a knot in the front and sport a matching terry-cloth headband with it. I hope some jacked bodybuilder beats your ass as you stroll out of your Tae Bo class. |

Can't you just feel the love and support for fellow lifters. It's so positive and reassuring... |

Though I don't agree w/ the tone, I agree with the message... Scalato, GTFO of that va jay jay class. Unless you are doing it strictly for cardio/fat burning purposes, it will not serve your goal of lean mass gains. And, you'll have to eat even more just to replace those calories burned. SFW, bro! |

I hear ya Shakes. I know it's not going to put any sort of muscle on me whatsoever but it will help with cardio and endurance. It's a surefire way to get my cardio in first thing in the morning, rev up the fat-burning metabolism, and a great way to warm up the muscles I'll be working out later that day. And yes, being the ONLY guy in there is very advantageous |

You must concern yourself with one of two things 1.) gaining lean mass or 2.) losing fat. You can't do both (without 'help'). |

or kick-start the muscle burning metabolism. |

| pretty damn funny roids!! gotta give that to you. I have reconsidered and will start on a cut with doing the 2-a-days and will be looking at the Drive/RPM/IGF-2 combo. |
