You get what you train for!

Everyone wants that perfect body, yet no one trains for it. Does this make sense? I continually see people take on training programs that have nothing to do with their goals. The "average Joe" in the gym wants to lose fat and get that lean athletic beach bod -- not an uncommon goal, right? Yet, he's doing hypertrophy (muscle building protocols) out of the latest issue of Muscular Development. How are you supposed to get a metabolic benefit from a heavy-load, weight-training protocol that calls for two-to-six reps with a three-to-five minutes of rest between each of the six sets?  That's an easy question... You don't!

To lose body-fat percentage, you need (1.) proper nutrition and (2.) metabolic substance in your workouts. Which means you should add high-intensity exercises to burn the maximum amount of calories. Exercises such as burpees, mountain climbers thrusters, and kettle-bell swings are perfect for raising the metabolic value of your workout.


Here's a fantastic metabolic chest workout: 

1A. Incline Chest Press         10, 10, 10, 10

2A. Cable Chest Flies            8, 8, 8, 8

3A. Thrusters                        15, 15, 15, 15

4A. Dumbbell Chest Press    10, 10, 10, 10                      

5A  Dips                               10, 10, 10, 10

6A. Burpee Jump Pull-ups     15, 15, 15, 15                                          

REST 60 to 120 seconds after circuit, or until heart rate reaches 50 to 60% of MHR (Maximum Heart Rate)

ENJOY !!!
