However, at the same time I am hitting the weights as well. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week, lift according to a particular plan, and then hit the cardio for about half an hour.

While my cardio has vastly improved I haven't seen the same gains on the weights. I am getting a little bit bigger, but I have been at this for almost 4 weeks and haven't seen any reasonable increases in the amount of weight that I am using. Although I am cutting calories, I am trying to make sure and consume a lot of protein.

Are these two goals just incompatible?

fuck gaining muscles. lose the weight.

have u seen how arnold looks like at his current age? if you want to look like him, bulk up like him. muscle sag ftw.

I've given numbers here before, but I try to distance information away from using personal experience as more than a confirmation or auxiliary to actual substantive knowledge. Some people rely on knowledge alone and mislead themselves and others by drawing faulty conclusions (think of geocentrc theory as a well-known example) or rely on experience alone and, to paraphrase Emerson, think of one man as every other man.

I will say that relying on credentials instead of actual knowledge is very lazy.

Hm... I'm kind fo against that viewpoint. There are farrrr too many keyboard trainers out there who really don't know their shit as well as they think they do because reading it on the internet compared to putting it into practice in the gym/kitchen are completley different things.
