Thank you for checking back in on this two part series.
So, how do we combine all these aspects for maximum fat burning?
Here we go:
We are going to combine different techniques that are extremely effective for maximizing the production of Lactic Acid in the body. This is very difficult, so be prepared.
Part 1: High Rep Training
High reps will produce Lactic Acid, no question about it. The bonus with high-rep training is that it also helps improve the movement of blood supply into the muscles. And one of the reasons muscles don't grow, is poor blood supply. So high-reps can not only produce Lactic Acid, they can even improve the growth potential of the muscle.
Part 2: Supersets
Supersets involve moving from one exercise directly into another exercise, with no rest in between the two exercises. This is a great way to increase the burn from Lactic Acid. The key is using the supersets with two completely different muscle groups. For instance; super setting chest with back, biceps with triceps, legs with shoulders and so on.
Part 3: No Rest Between Sets
The body clears out Lactic Acid when it gets a chance to rest. So simply by removing rest periods from the equation, we're going to dramatically ramp up the production of Lactic Acid in your body and, as a result, ramp up the production of Growth Hormone in response.
All this, in turn, will lead to increased fat loss by increasing Growth Hormone and burning loads of calories during the workout and after the workout, because of the high intensity level.
How To Do It:
First off, here are the combinations I would suggest you train together: Back and Chest, Biceps and Triceps, Shoulders and Calves, and Quads and Hamstrings. I would also suggest using more sets for larger muscle groups, like back and chest, and quads and hamstrings.
We will look at a sample Bicep and Triceps routine. We’ll use Dumbbells for curls and straight bar press downs with the cable system for triceps.
The key with this training technique is speed, not only during the sets but switching between exercises.
First, select a pair of dumbbells that you know you can get at least 20 reps with for the dumbbell curls. For this technique, 20 reps are going to be the minimum number of reps we want to hit on the first set of dumbbell curls.
Get into position curling the dumbbells. You want to keep a fairly quick tempo on the curls using a powerful movement, not worrying about squeezing the muscles or getting any slow negatives (the lowering phase of the movement). It should be a fast, powerful movement to get as many reps as you can.
REMEMBER; do not sacrifice form for speed. If you're flailing the dumbbells around, you're going to hurt yourself. While the movement is fast, it should be controlled at all times.
Do as many reps as you can until the Lactic Acid burn forces you to stop. The last reps will see you moving a lot slower than you started but keep going until the burn stops you.
Now set the dumbbells down and immediately get into position for the cable press downs.
Begin pressing with the same quick tempo. Again, control the movements so you are not swinging the weight around.
Again, perform as many reps as you can until the burn stops you and you have to set the weights down.
Now immediately put all thoughts of rest aside! Grab those dumbbells and start curling again.
Your reps will most likely drop fairly significantly on this second round through due to muscle fatigue and Lactic Acid accumulation. Get as many reps as you can, though. You may actually only get a 1/4th to half the reps you did the first time through. No worries, keep at it.
Finish the curling reps then go right back to the cable press downs for as many reps as you can. Keep going back and forth between exercises until you've done the prescribed number of sets for each body part.
Be sure to push yourself on those sets! Make sure you stop because of the Lactic Acid burn and not because you've counted enough reps and you've lost track.
This is extreme, and you will definitely feel the workout. Keep at it and you will see a new you in a short matter of time.
