Should People With Large Frames Lift Weights Combined With Cardio For Fat Loss & Better Appearance?
![]() |
Yes you should.
But when lifting weights, since you already have a large frame and if you do not want to get humongous (like Mr Olympia), you should try lifting weights of moderate poundage.
The heavier the poundage, the more muscle fibres you recruit thus making the muscles grow and you get bigger.
However, to preserve your large frame and still look good, try this:
For all weight that you are lifting, try this:
Warm up 2 to 4 sets with very light weights – 20 – 25 reps.
After your warm up sessions, for subsequent sets, do not do power movements like squats, bench presses or military presses. However, use secondary movements more like for chests, you should do more flies, incline and flat, do more pullovers (light) and the rep range should be 12-15 reps per set.
Then finish off with some cardio either by attending aerobic classes like body combat, spin classes (bike) or just running on the tread mill.
All this will help tone you up and you will look great. Your big frame will hold itself up nicely and underneath the clothes, is a well toned body.
Good luck.

from personal experience, I think weights and cardio should be combined but I also think this is true for other frame sizes as well.

Yes because muscle burns fat.
