Well, you cant convert fat into muscle, fat is made of different things, but it does make sense that you burn fat while doing it, but the amount of reps are tricky to figure out. If you do many reps, you will burn a lot of fat and add endurance, but you will not add much muscle. Its like running.[DoH]Soulicro said:See, this is why workout threads are awesome. They give you so much insight!

Walmart, you seem very experienced in the area. My theory for using body weight exercises is that, as you work out and exercise, you're building up muscle and either converting or burning some fat. However as you build muscle your weight goes up, so its always at a constant rate and you keep your muscle/fat ratio at a reasonable (by reasonable I mean every-day-im-not-gonna-grow-up-to-be-a-body-builder type of reasonable) rate. Does this make sense?

Ive already posted my "regular" routine... but I like to comment that it constantly changes; exercises are constantly being added. I figure the more exercises, the more ways your muscle is working. Im guessing thats a good thing
TonyTheTiger pretty much hit it on the ball, but didnt go into detail, thats why I replied.
And yes, if you have more exercises, than it gives you more ways to build muscle. But remember, if you are doing intense lifting then you should only lift for no longer than an hour, or else your testosterone levels get too low. But that is for only heavy lifting with weights and machines.
Like i said, burning fat and adding muscle at the same time is tricky. If you do too many reps, than you will burn fat, but not add much muscle. If you do not many reps, than you will add more muscle, but wont burn much fat. You have to find that perfect number of reps so you can burn fat and add muscle at an equal ratio.
Oh, and im serious. If anyone has any questions, give me a PM, i dont mind.
