Balancing Cardio and Caloric Intake(Fat Loss)

[@HuntingDownCoyote]

I could listen to Eric for hours...so knowledgeable and well spoken.

[@tansuahmet6834]

Makes complicated information simple...and even uses kilos instead of pounds! Love this guy!

[@paulburns6035]

Suggestion tri-pod

[@PaintballGremlin]

He seems like such an interesting guy you just want to kick back and listen to him talk and absorb his knowledge, If teachers were like him standards of education would be incredible.

[@Team3DMJ]

One thing I want to add to this, since I think I made it seem too simplistic, ie MISS=bad. Is that really the most important thing to consider is the total volume of cardio and the duration. One 20min miss session per week is like a fart in a tornado, 5 45min MISS sessions per week is much more likely to interfere with your progress in the gym. Can't ignore frequency and duration. A few MISS sessions is no big deal.

[@StyrbjornStarke]

I am an Endomorph with a slow metabolism, currently cutting at a 600 calorie deficit and lifting 3 times a week. Progress is a little slow so how much cardio would you recommend i throw in?

[@Andy-jf2pq]

Eric, this has to be the most informative video and explanation of fat loss, cardio, HIIT to be combined with muscle building/bodybuilding. Thank you.

[@mtmnunu]

finally Eric did a video, thank god always on the right time to answer what goes in my mind. thanks Eric

[@SmartLifeStyle2013]

Love Eric hes such a smart guy and explains very clearly

[@heemanpark]

Wow... I was pointed to your channel by either Chris Jones or Brandon Campbell. Your video is super packed with information-!! Great stuff-!! Awesome job Team3DMJ~!! Awesome-!!

[@VladimirDaniyan]

Great, informative video! You guys consistently put out some of the best fitness related content on KZbin. Keep it up!

[@haterboy2000]

Great video and a big factor in my deciding to go with 3DMJ for my Cutting journey .. Thanks again for the info .

[@jessicafoglia9989]

super informative. never thought about the calories I would usually be burning in the time I spend working out and considering the difference.. rather than just adding that to my daily calories.

[@psufball1]

omg this video is just what the doctor ordered! thank you for this!

[@mattieterzian9443]

Eric, LoL I love you!!!! You answered so many questions I had. I just started lifting waits because of all the great benefits. I use to run insane amount of miles a day. I loved it then. I was seriously injured and thank God I can workout again. Thank you I really appreciate the break down. Love your style of simplifying what fits with what. Lol, thanks

[@SpliTTBrahh1993]

Eric is at it againn! Very informative as always. Love your videos man. Hope your doing another Q&A soon.

[@QUESTED]

30 to 60 min cardio 2k calories lots of lifting and some cla and hydroxicut. im dropping fast af

[@DBZbraidZ44]

Nice bro 👌👌

[@Nroh11]

I've been doing GPP BB complexes with light weight for a couple weeks now. I freaking love it compared to running on a treadmill or biking. It's actually really fun.

[@BigBoLuke]

Great Video. You should do a video going more in depth on the Barbell Complexes, and include a demonstration.

[@DrScience18]

Helms dropping fucking knowledge again

[@ashferico09]

Yes especially for stubborn body fat mobilization (however this only matters when you are sub 10% body fat). Besides that burning the extra calories off through cardio means your metabolism is less suppressed compared to burning it off through reducing calories

[@TVResults]

Great context on prep time and great point on injury potential related to use..how and when to use the strategies..thank you, I needed this information..first time going to 8-9 perc bf for me

[@lyndseyrogerson4437]

Amazing video- answered & explained all the queries i've ever had regarding cardio! thank you very much x

[@SanteeAlexander]

THIS VIDEO IS JUST FUCKING SIMPLY GENIOUS

[@Likebuttonmisser]

eric you simply rock! really appreciate these videos :)

[@triniflyer8685]

great video.. very accurate info esp on the recovery needed from HIT

[@ElmerVazquez]

You da man Mr.Helms

[@louissalas9754]

Your dope Eric!!! I did that barbell complex HIIT it was awesome!!!

[@bigtonutz]

i did 1 to 2 bouts of miss incline of 10 at 3.5 mph for 45 min once you do that plus workout you anit gonna want to do more it kicks you booty,but it will help burn alot of calories in less time. 420 kcal in 45 min on my treadmill :). also i like liss very easy and effect especially toward the end of a cut. works great for me. thanks eric for the educational tools brother!!

[@Alekzbizkit]

I wish Eric was my teacher, or brother, or whatever, he's the best

[@markconway7232]

some real advice right there

[@TheDean0803]

Interested to hear your thoughts on how much HIIT taxes the CNS, especially as it relates to deloads and if HIIT should be done during these

[@Spychu1993]

Last words are the most important. I truly believed in 16 weeks but boy was I wrong

[@tonyproctor7143]

Amazing info Eric.. thanks!!!

[@pornogibber]

Great Video Eric. Hope you had a blast here in lil old NZ>

[@PeteMercerFitness]

They can do. Depends on how you use them and how hard you work. I'd much rather prep for 30 weeks than 12. Makes things much easier and more reliable.

[@deserteagle1039]

best info around

[@patrickdrury1480]

Good stuff, Thank you. Please keep it up.

[@isaacsandrew77]

Great video! Very informative.

[@cristianpetri1]

Great video Eric ! Thanks !

[@MatichekYoutube]

great tips.. thank you

[@bigtonutz]

what a nice guy "woof" young frankenstein LOL eric is da shizzle

[@heracles2626]

Good video Eric!

[@SocheathSim]

Love these videos

[@djlightsout06]

Can one of you guys talk about diet breaks? Eric mentions that the average prep is 5-7 months. Do you make your guys do diet breaks in between that time? Why or why not and how?

[@DasWahreF]

great video!

[@jerrylopez3249]

+ Alberto. Cool video!! Been working out for about a year and half. 177 lbs 5'10" and roughly 11-15% bf. Been playing with my diet but can't seem to get below 10% bf. How often should I refeed? And, what exactly does that entail? Does it mean increasing my carbs 1 or 2 times a week? I try & only take in carbs post workout in either brown or white rice. Please help...

[@KingKong-pf4fz]

anyone else bugged by interference being spelled wrong? Good info 3dmj!

[@TheLiftLifeFitness]

Thank You!!! Great Video

[@choz3]

Great stuff Eric. When doing Liss is there a minimum HR we should aim for? Or just focus on calories burned?

[@joelrobson362]

I know Eric does 1 hour consultations on Skype, just apply on their site, I did it and it helped a lot.

[@jjediv]

does anyone know how to get rid of muscle knots i have one on my lateral deltoid. i have rolled on it with a ball but it only seems to inflame the knot

[@FastedSithEmperor]

I should have been subbed to this channel great video!

[@greul_vietii]

Eric, question about the HIIT and leg trainin. I am on a full body training system and I am also dieting. How should I incorporate HIIT considering that I squat 3 times a week?

[@mircilo89]

Hi Eric, at what rate should I be loosing body weight? My bodyfat percentage is 15% at the moment. BTW i don't need to get down to 4% like bodybuilders. My goal is "just" to get down to 7-8%.

[@mulullama]

how would you quantify your statement at 7:25 where you stated "below the threshold". what is the "threshold"

[@mrmiralg]

Good informative video...what are your thoughts on measuring cardio output? (besides cals) Usually what i've been doing lately: 20 mins on the stepmill/stairmaster 2x a week. I'll get my HR between 155-165. I'm pretty sure you could call that MISS. I think i'm gonna give your HIIT example a try...sounds a lot better than running on a track/treadmill

[@blackishlovah123]

What are your thoughts on Legs/push/pull routines vs full body or upper/lower.....is any more superior than the other?

[@joshua_kuluris]

Thanks for the info

[@slapto]

I have a problem with cardio and losing muscle. Im in Army ROTC and we run a shit ton during PT and its a struggle trying to figure out how high to keep my calories so I wont be losing muscle

[@Mr_SamuelAdam]

what is the best HIIT for fat loss...like how many seconds at 100% to how many seconds walking or jogging???

[@vidohybridathlete]

great video !! do it more often .

[@MrJuniorhv]

awsome stuff@ cant wait to try that bb complex, treadmill is soo booring..

[@TheWalsymezrp]

Awesome.

[@backfru]

How do we determine the difference between LISS and MISS? Is it related to the RPE or heart rate? Would a BRISK walk be MISS, or would that still only be LISS? Any issues with brisk walking 45-60 mins 7 days per week?

[@PeteMercerFitness]

Beautifully explained Eric. I've always been a runner myself, but you can't argue with science haha. Are kgs becoming a little more second nature for you now?

[@georod912]

work on hamstrings and abs ...i think it occurs bc your quads are insanely tight and strong and your lower back as well...so by strengthening your hams and abs and maybe even upper back ..can help...i think he did a video on it on matt ogus channel =)

[@AviTaviNet]

How much calories do you think i burn per bodybuilding training sesion(60 min) and rope jumping-fast(60min) i am 17 years old and 6 foot and 145 pounds i know it varies but give me a starting number :D THX D

[@rgoo519]

great vid

[@macky871]

howa bout for powerlifting? is no general condition needed for optimum strength gains?

[@drnnhvcdsde]

how do you track calories burned while using HIIT?

[@kenmachris]

is there another weightlifting routine you could do for HIIT if you dont know how to olympic lift or front squat? i would really like to try some sort of HIIT with weights as i hate any form of running/biking/machine cardio thx, Ken

[@anthonyjones1061]

Hey bro do you know any Whey protein that does not have addictives in it.....Looking for pure Whey?

[@TheIceyveins]

So the amount of calories you burn doing the cardio, do you tack on those calories back into your diet? Like if your going for a 500 caloric deficit, and you burned 400 calories running, only do a 100 caloric deficit diet wise?

[@HEDIDITAGAIN111111]

Curious as to your opinion on occluded cardio. I'm maxed out on my hiit per week so now I've added in some lighter occluded intervals. My guess is that it will not be as good as my usual HIIT, but better than the same duration of LISS or MISS. Any thoughts on what kind of effect I could expect to get out of it?

[@edoardotacconi]

Hi Eric! How can I calculate how much cals are burned if I know my heart rate? For ex: 30 mins, walking 6 km/h (3.7 mph) 6% incline, avg bpm 146, 85 kg x 178 cm. I found a formula and the result is 420 clas burned. I doubt.

[@Abdullah2009]

What about someone who plays soccer but also likes to be big? I do weight training and long cardio sessions, what do you think about that combination?

[@dylanbennett7322]

Could i have a calorie deficit of 800cal with an additional 350cal deficit from cardio (total net of 1150cal) without being in a position where calories are to low and could sacrafice muscle

[@bigburdi]

what about alternating HIIT swimming with upper body focus and HIIT jogging or other lower body focus? would the recovery process be ok with overlap if say you did 2 sessions of each per week?

[@Gabriel.Santos]

does playing sports counts as cardio?? I play tennis 1-2 times per week for an hour aprox.

[@_Only_Zuul]

hi, i'm aged 31, 173cm and weigh 78kg. i am doing 45 min sessions of combined HIIT, MISS and LISS and using 10-15 mins cardio prior to weight sessions and 15-20 mins after weight sessions i have been getting progressively leaner and leaner. i aim to burn about 600-700 cals per cardio session and about 300cals when i do cardio after weight training sessions. not sure if you can answer but am i on the right track? my RMR is 2021 cals, my maintenance is 2725 cals according to a dexa scan. thanks.

[@xantonify]

no more than 3x times a week cardio? That includes fbw workout light weight as cardio and HIIT / LISS?

[@iscovimigarga3260]

BIOS3 Training says it should only take 12 - 16 weeks.

[@beingL]

GPP?

[@lansky52]

Is it ok to watch BBC (british brodcasting channel) instead of sports network during LISS?

[@oOBashoROo]

you just answered your own question.. depends on how high of a deficit you desire

[@PTJersey]

Fuck, I'd go gay for this guy, srs! Is there anything they don't know/cant explain? God damn! 3DMJ!

[@Mr_SamuelAdam]

eric whats your favorite and preferred personal trainer cert?

[@conorblacklock405]

Eric to find that caloric burn estimated by machines is in anyway accurate .

[@PaintballGremlin]

Eric Helmes and Alberto are incredible I would like to hire them just to speak to them about weightlifting and dieting alone never mind to help me cut.

[@Youzarzif]

More Eric Helms please!

[@PeteMercerFitness]

I don't think it's a need, it's just a good luxury to have, so you can walk up calories and come in full. The more time you have to play with, the more consistent your results will be. It's completely achievable other ways, this is just one.

[@CohnWolfeFitness]

Gotta love Eric Helms :)

[@sidakun]

So in short walkers > joggers?

[@5747589]

would zumba be considered a MIss??

[@TheMegaRoflcopter]

you guys start prep sooooo early. most competitive BBs i know start 12wks out and get shredded to the bone. and they start dieting 12-15%. although these guys in my gym are "enhanced" i dont use myself but do drugs really make that much of a difference or are these guys probably just gifted?

[@zhdfzfjvzrtuztuzt]

liked before watching it^^

[@mattieterzian9443]

lol, sorry miss spelled weights. Lol

[@marcus23332333]

where can i buy steroids eric

[@alvinthebest]

inb4 layne norton beef

[@asmcriminaL]

We tested the calories burned on top of exercise. The results are pretty insignificant due to EPOC. You burn what the HR monitor says for the most part.
