Me and my friends David back in 2004 in Portugal 😜😜🥳🥳😂😂
Thanks to for the photo taken live back then.
David was a bit stiff that day....
This post is actually serious.
I share tips that I apply in my daily training.
Pretty good summary that will help you to LOWER YOUR BODY FAT %.
PART 1
1. Train using the most multi-joint lifts such as squats, deadlifts, presses, pulls, and chin-ups.
2. Favor compound lifts over isolation, single-joint lifts such as bicep or leg curls unless you have unlimited training time.
3. Use very short rest periods (10 to 60 seconds) to trigger the greatest metabolic disturbance with a high lactate and growth hormone response.
4. Always count tempo. Vary the tempo of lifting phases and rest periods to provide new stimulus for the body to adapt.
5. To get lean fast, use a protocol with high volume, more than 3 sets, and 70 to 85 percent of your 1RM load.
6. Eccentric contraction.
Use a longer time under tension to burn more energy and increase post-exercise oxygen consumption—try a 4-second eccentric and 1-second concentric phase.
7. Train to create a robust hormone response. Increasing growth hormone is the priority because of its significant lipolytic (fat burning) effects.
8. Perform circuit training using upper/lower body or agonist/antagonist paired sets. Use moderately heavy loads with little rest between sets for maximal metabolic disturbance.
9. Strength training.
For gradual fat loss over a longer period, include strength cycles with heavier loads (up to 95 percent 1RM), slightly longer rest (2 to 3 minutes), and lots of sets.
10. Work harder. The ability to push oneself physically is a skill. If you’re not getting results, you may not be working hard enough.
11. Anaerobic conditioning.
Give priority to training the anaerobic energy system over the aerobic system in order to increase lean mass and elevate post-workout energy expenditure.
12. Do high-intensity sprint intervals for conditioning. Try 6 all-out 30 to 45-second running sprints on a track, with 2 to 3 minutes rest.
