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
Forearms Training Tips
- *Farmer carries are the single best forearm builder — heavy, simple, effective.
- *Grip training 2-3 times per week compounds rapidly — most lifters see big gains in 8 weeks.
- *Dead hangs for time build crushing grip and decompress the spine.
