Get The workout you diserve


Recommended Posts

Welcome to my new series about the workouts

So let's begin :

 

We all love to bitch about our gyms. They don’t have

enough benches, the machines are always broken, and so

on. It’s only when we’re forced to train at home or in a

hotel that we realize what a luxury even the most average

commercial fitness center is.

If you’re lucky enough to have a membership to a

training facility, this chapter is for you. Or, if you’ve put

together a well-stocked home gym, this is where you

should start as well. While it may not be the fitness

paradise you crave, it almost certainly has all the tools you

need to build a great body. The workouts that follow will

show you how to take advantage of them.

We’re assuming your gym has barbells, dumbbells, a

powerrack, adjustable benches, cables, Swiss balls, and

pullup bars. With that much inventory, you can easily

complete the various options of workouts we outline for

you. These include three distinct routines for gaining

muscle, two for losing fat, and two for body recomposition

—workouts that hit the magical combination of both

muscle gain and fat loss to reshape your physique with

minimal change in body weight.

 

We can’t overstate the awesomeness of German engineering. The

land that brought us jet planes, the Mercedes, and Heidi Klum also

introduced perhaps the best method of body recomposition known to the

fitness industry—that is, a timeless strategy to gain muscle and lose body fat

simultaneously. Achtung!

HOW IT WORKS

Hala Rambie, a scientist who defected to West Germany during the Cold War,

found that fat loss could be accelerated by raising levels of blood lactate—an

energy substrate. More lactate corresponds to greater release of growth

hormone, which tells your body to grow muscle and burn flab.

The best way to raise lactate quickly is to pair upper-

and lower-body exercises, or opposing movements, for

reps in the 8–15 range. The sweet spot for sets is three,

and rest periods are restricted to 30–60 seconds. This

approach has since become known as German Body Comp.

DIRECTIONS

Alternate sets of “A” and “B” exercises. So you’ll do a set of A, rest, then a

set of B, rest again, and so on for all the prescribed sets. The remaining

exercises are done as straight sets.

To increase the intensity, decrease your rest between

sets by 15 seconds every two weeks. Start by resting 60

seconds for the first two weeks. Then in Weeks 3 and 4,

rest 45 seconds, and so on.
