Dieting while weight lifting in my experience just leads to various injuries. I don't mean the passing out while doing squats kind. I mean straining muscles in a painful way that can take the rest of the month to recover. Note that this was after ~5 months of training before I got the idea to try and lean out. Overall I just wouldn't recommend it. Maximum weight I would say is body weight, then it's more cardio than weight lifting.
- driverdan 10y agoMaximum lifting weight is going to vary from individual based on their experience and strength. If your muscles take weeks to recover you should see a doctor. That could be rhabdo or some other condition. It should never take that long.
- graeme 10y ago>If your muscles take weeks to recover you should see a doctor. Are you talking about normal recovery after weightlifting? The OP was talking about muscle strains. I've hurt muscles that then take a month to recover. It seems fundamentally different from tired muscles after a workout.
- 6DM 10y agoExactly, it's not recovery. It's an actual injury. I had been working out consistently 4-5 times a week at a high intensity for at least 5 months straight before this occurred. I know what that kind of muscle soreness feels like.
- graeme 10y agoYup. And to be clear to anyone who thinks it's only overwork: I've had these injuries while training intensely, and I've had them after rest periods when I start again, or during non-intense training. Muscle injuries can happen in either circumstances, and they take a while to heal properly.
