just joined the gym. Now i'm confused!

I joined the local gym last week. As I'm now trying to improve myself in every aspect, I found this to be a great idea.

I'm 6.2 feet tall (i converted, as in my country we use meters. I'm 1,90m tall, hehe). 182.6 lbs (83kg).

Here, all the gyms use to do an avaliation of your body, to see your fat levels and so on. Then they make a set for you.

But my set isn't even close to the DIESEL's guide. Most exercises are like 15 reps X 2 sets.

And there's cardio too! 30min of it, walking at 6km/h.

I'm not scrawny. I become fat without THAT effort. I was fat two months ago. Then I cut all the junk food and carbonated soda, then I started to lose fat.

The guy there said I'm on the limiar between average and fat, on the fat side. I look much better than I did some time ago, but there's much work to be done.

Should I stick with DIESEL's program and get rid of the workout they prescribed me?

cheers,
djbr (your brazilian friend! )

Yeah, people here say I can't gain mass and lose fat together. But the guy at my gym said EXACTLY this! Crazy...

I want to build muscles. So I should throw away everything and stick with DIESEL's program, right?

2x15 is to allow for anatomical adaptation, it allows your tendons and ligaments to prepare for heavier lifting later, it usually lasts a 2-3 weeks. after that then you get into heavier weight with less reps and more sets.

just be patient, otherwise you might get injured if you do to much too soon. Just ask your trainer, I'm sure he would be glad to explain.
