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 repshigh enough to keep your heart rate elevated
  • Rest Periods: 30-60 secondsshort rest to maximize calorie burn
  • Sets Per Exercise: 3-4 sets — optimized for fat loss

Triceps Training Tips

  • *Overhead extensions stretch the long head, which is the largest tricep head — do not skip them.
  • *Lock out every rep fully to engage the medial head.
  • *Dips and close-grip bench press allow heavier loading than isolation work.
