Are all cardio workouts equal? For purposes of promoting lean mass and for effectiveness in conjunction with lifting weights.
For example, take these four workouts:
1 - Being on a cario type maschine such as a step for 45 minutes and burning 500 calories at a steady pace.
2 - Doing intervals like going on a track and doing 10 100m sprints (walk 100m in between) or six 200m sprints (walk 200m in betwen)
3 - "jogging"/running on the road for 20-30 minutes.
4 - Hills. 10 of them. Go up fast, walk back down. A fairly steep heel, but say you're sprinting up them in 7-12 seconds.
The hills and the sprints probably burn less calories is my guess, but sprinters and football players are cut and lean. How come? What should one be looking at - time spent doing the activit? Calories? Strange thing is if I'm on the stationary bike at the gym I can barely burn ANY calories - has to be the step thingy. I'll be on the bike for 30 minutes and barely burn 200 calories.

Hello again.
I have another interesting question. I do weight training on my legs once a week. Fo 2-3 days after the session though my legs are so saw and its hard to walk, and they are so tender. I have started really stretching the leg muscles after the workout, and i warm up properly but still get this soreness wich is tough to live with especially as i am looking to become a personal trainer.
Do you have this problem?
Do you know why this happens?
and do you have any tips to stop it from happening?

First day back after two week hiatus for the shoulder impingement. I just did deadlifts, very light rows, and some ab work. God it felt so good to be back in there, I was starting to feel like a fuckin chump.
Question is, how can I still work chest while rehabbing the shoulder? I was afraid to do anything that might fuck it up more.
Fuck, I did this same shit to the OTHER shoulder two years ago, from fucking barbell bench press. Same shit. I'm only doing dumbs in the future, I don't give a shit.

This is a very common problem among weightlifters/bodybuilding.
Its happened to the best of us and the only real fix is laying off, however if you want a work around experiment with the type of exercise you can and cant perform.
For example with some shoulder injuries you will be able to perform incline bench press but not flat, or you will be able to do incline dumbell press but not flat dumbell press.
So basically with some shoulder injures you will be able to perform overhead exercises where as with other shoulder injuries you wont be able to perform any exercises that involve any shoulder movement.
So experiement with what you can and cant do.
The other thing i would suggest is performing rotator cuff exercises to strengthen that area.
This link is on how to perform rotator cuff exercises: www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbinfo.php
Best of Luck!

I just stopped benching entirely a couple of years ago. The only pressing I do is overhead press. Results: The insides of my shoulders feel a million times better (even though I used to bench with excellent "elbows tucked" form), pressing strength is all-time high (overhead and also I tested my closegrip bench press which is at a personal best, despite having not trained it), and pec mass remains largely unchanged. So overhead press seems to have more than enough carryover, without the toll on joints... I can't see myself ever going back to dips and bench.
What's the mentality behind doing cardio to getting lean?
I know its important for your heart and cholesterol levels etc... but weights burn more calories (hence more fat), particularly at rest. So why emphasise cardio more when you're cutting?
