Why This Workout Works
This workout is built around the principles of fat loss training. Maintain heavy compound lifts to preserve muscle mass while in a caloric deficit. Add supersets and circuits for accessory work to increase training density. Keep protein high (1g per pound of bodyweight) and prioritize sleep for recovery.
Training Parameters
- Rep Range: 10-15 reps — high enough to keep your heart rate elevated
- Rest Periods: 30-60 seconds — short rest to maximize calorie burn
- Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss
Back Training Tips
- *Initiate every pull by squeezing your shoulder blades together — think about pulling with your elbows, not your hands.
- *Use straps on heavy rows so grip fatigue does not limit back development.
- *Include both vertical pulls (pulldowns, pull-ups) and horizontal pulls (rows) in your program.
