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
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.
