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
Quads Training Tips
- *Squat depth matters — going below parallel recruits significantly more quad muscle fibers.
- *Elevating your heels on a wedge shifts emphasis to the quads over the glutes.
- *Leg extensions are underrated for isolating the quads after heavy compound work.
