Thus, there are three energy sources for ATP production. All three energy sources are in use to an extent at all times, so, if any one of these three sources are deficient, or contradicted to work against one another in succession, progress in both areas of anaerobic and aerobic exercise will be compromised.
WannaBripped,
If your goal of aerobic training is to lose bodyfat, keep the intensity low, and the duration long, as this combination will burn fat as a fuel source optimally. Combined with a properly spaced apart, above moderate to high intensity anaerobic training regimine, that is 100% reliant on carbohydrates as the fuel source for energy, you will both drop BF levels and build a moderate amount of lean bodymass, in the form of your '6-pack' wannaBripped in time for summer. Good Luck Taurus

oh, hmm. thank you. Yeah i think im kinda starting to get the overall picture of what i should be doing. One thing though: what was that CKD diet? BEcause i am still on Atkins and today is my 8th day using creatine. Actually its my first day of the maintenance cycle. ANd i gained 3 pounds since last week. I am guessing the supplements had smth to do with it. So i was wondering what diet i should be using instead of the atkins one. (they contradict each other lol no carb vs lots of carbs)
