My trainer wants me to do more high impact less reps rather than low impact more reps so i don't work out as much because I have to allow time for muscles to heal. And my diet well it lacks a lot of yummy stuff. Mainly I eat, Turkey, Salmon, Chicken, Veggies Fruits, and basically cut out carbs as much as possible (it sucks), and I drink lots of water and green tea. I am seeing pretty nice results I'm 5'11 and currently 240, I've only been doing this for just going on a month now and already I've dropped down a good 8-10 pounds I'll be around 220 when all is said and done.

Not to spite your trainer but if your trying to lose weight...why are you going to be doing lower reps? Your going to gain A LOT more mass that way..

Rip=High Reps
Bulk=Low Reps
Both?=inbetween like 6-8 reps at sets of 3-4...

My martial arts trainer had me in between which helped tremendously..but sounds like you've got a good thing going!

I'm not trying to loose weight is why, we're just burning off the access weight i've gained over the years because of the beer belly I'm going to end up loosing weight no matter what. When i got out the navy i was 5'11 190, when i went in i was 5'11 170 now i'm 240, Lots of beer and little exercise has taken it's toll.

As for reps, i do between 8-12 (depending on what i'm working on) and no less than 6 (if i can't lift 6 it's to much) but the goal is 8-10 if i can push out 2 more at the end then i can do 12. Only 2 sets right now, 1st set more weight than I usually push, then 2nd set the norm (or if i do 10 he has me do the more weight again). I've started noticing a difference and the pain has greatly decreased, I heal a lot faster than when i started.

As for martial arts, I do a combination of Wing Chun & Shotokan
