10 Guidlines to lose fat & 10 Guidlines to gain muscle





TO LOSE BODY FAT


1. Use multi-joint exercises- Such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, presses, rows and Olympic lifts.

2. Use short rest periods- 0-60 seconds depending on your fitness level. By keeping rest low you will trigger a higher growth hormone response which will help you get lean.

3. Be intense- You must have  intensity in your workouts to maximize fat loss

4. Prioritize the anaerobic training system- Weights and sprints.

5. Use a hypertrophy style protocol most of the time - 8-12 reps, moderate loads and 3 or more. But also vary the rep ranges every so often.

6. Use time under tension-Adding a slow count while performing the lift will burn more calories and increase EPOC which will aid in fat loss.

7. Do sprint intervals over steady state cardio

8. Rest- Give your body time to recover and allow it to adapt and lose fat.

9. Make sure eating right is THE primary focus- Focus on veggies, proteins, water and fiber. Keep sugars and alcohol low.

10. Control stress

1. Eat! and eat often

2. Take a nap-Taking a power nap will help you grow

6. Limit alcohol- lowers testosterone
