Neither can survive without the other.
80/20. 80% of the results you want will come from your diet. The other 20% from your workout. But neither can survive without the other. It's important to follow both diet and the workout at the same time - because you can't build a mansion without the right materials.
The Workouts
The secret to the workout is in the 5/5 cadence. This means in every workout you do, you move in a 5 seconds up, 5 seconds down motion. This ensure constant maximum load on your muscles at all times. This will eliminate momentum that most weight lifters use to help them finish their sets. The reward of doing 5/5 cadence? You only do ONE set. That's right. One set. In that one set, you must hit 7 repititions, but if you can do more, do more. It's one set to failure. 10 minutes after each workout, you'll want to do more. Don't do more. Just stick to the same two exercises in each workout.
