trainerbensassi Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Welcome to my new series about the workoutsSo let's begin : We all love to bitch about our gyms. They don’t haveenough benches, the machines are always broken, and soon. It’s only when we’re forced to train at home or in ahotel that we realize what a luxury even the most averagecommercial fitness center is.If you’re lucky enough to have a membership to atraining facility, this chapter is for you. Or, if you’ve puttogether a well-stocked home gym, this is where youshould start as well. While it may not be the fitnessparadise you crave, it almost certainly has all the tools youneed to build a great body. The workouts that follow willshow you how to take advantage of them.We’re assuming your gym has barbells, dumbbells, apowerrack, adjustable benches, cables, Swiss balls, andpullup bars. With that much inventory, you can easilycomplete the various options of workouts we outline foryou. These include three distinct routines for gainingmuscle, two for losing fat, and two for body recomposition—workouts that hit the magical combination of bothmuscle gain and fat loss to reshape your physique withminimal change in body weight. We can’t overstate the awesomeness of German engineering. Theland that brought us jet planes, the Mercedes, and Heidi Klum alsointroduced perhaps the best method of body recomposition known to thefitness industry—that is, a timeless strategy to gain muscle and lose body fatsimultaneously. Achtung!HOW IT WORKSHala 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—anenergy substrate. More lactate corresponds to greater release of growthhormone, 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, forreps in the 8–15 range. The sweet spot for sets is three,and rest periods are restricted to 30–60 seconds. Thisapproach has since become known as German Body Comp.DIRECTIONSAlternate sets of “A” and “B” exercises. So you’ll do a set of A, rest, then aset of B, rest again, and so on for all the prescribed sets. The remainingexercises are done as straight sets.To increase the intensity, decrease your rest betweensets by 15 seconds every two weeks. Start by resting 60seconds for the first two weeks. Then in Weeks 3 and 4,rest 45 seconds, and so on. To be continued .... See you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
