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
Biceps Training Tips
- *Vary your grip width and angle — supinated, neutral, and pronated grips each emphasize different portions of the biceps and brachialis.
- *Incline curls stretch the long head more than standing curls, producing a fuller peak.
- *Keep elbows pinned to your sides — swinging reduces bicep activation.
