  1. I would go with every other day at most, less reps (5 or under), more sets
    (5 or more), and more rest between sets.

    YMMV

    Hi folks,

    How often can you do weight lifting while LC'ing?

    Is a daily thing too much? Aren't you supposed to rest
    your muscles? How long? Is 1 day is enough? Or more given
    that your workout is about one hour of continuous sets using almost
    the maximum possible weight that allows you to do
    12 repetitions per set, 3 sets per exercise?

    I know any weight lifting is good, but what's realistic and productive?

    Thanks,

    J.

    Unless you're doing a split routine, the answer would (generally) be
    yes.

    As a beginner (and dieter), I'd recommend that you keep it simple and
    do a full body workout 2-3 times a week. Pick a routine that
    emphasizes a few good compound lifts, and that you can complete in
    about an hour.

    It could be something as basic as squat, deadlift, bench, with
    crunches thrown in if you want.

    Or squat, stiff legged deadlift, bench, pullup/chinup.

    Etc.

    See above. Full body on Mon-Wed-Fri would work well.

    Nope. Lift heavy. 4-8 rep range.

    See suggestions above.

    What's realistic (while dieting) is to minimize muscle loss so you
    don't end up looking like Jared when you're done losing.

    What's efficient and productive is to keep your workouts simple, yet
    consistent.
