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
Calves Training Tips
- *Full stretch at the bottom is non-negotiable — most people cut the range short.
- *Seated calf raises target the soleus; standing raises target the gastrocnemius.
- *High reps (15-25) with a 2-second pause at the bottom produce the best growth stimulus.
