I think it all depends on how heavy the lifts are mate, not weight in general, but wether you're pushing yourself enough...also if you add 30 mins cardio after weights (take your shake inbetween) you should lose bf whilst building....even better if you can do cv am, weights pm..

cheers robsta mate. would you say 2 limit doin chest and arms once a week like i do at the minute or do 1 heavy session of them a week and one light 1?

I do chest once a week, but I do 20 heavy sets, ( 4excercises 5 sets each, 8-12 reps depending on weight)
I also split my arms, do 4 excercises of bi's and next day the same with tri's....some people may say that's over training, but my arms are at 19 inches so I can only say what works for me mate
