Would this routine be okay to use if your goal is fat loss?

 

I believe so.

 

I'm using this routine and my goal is fat loss, lots of fat loss.

 

To repeat what I'm always saying, fat loss is a consequence of diet, not a particular program.

 

Yes Smuggie I definitely realize that. I was just commenting that I'm using this particular routine as a way to maintain and not lose the muscle that I already have while I'm losing the extra weight. Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.

 

I plan to begin this program next week. Should these be supersets at all, or is there a rest between each individual set? Please and Thank you.

 

You can on some things....not everything would work but I would where I could

 

If anyone is interested, here is the 3 Day Full Body Workout that I made to hole punch and keep in my notebook when I was doing it. Hope it saves someone some time and they look cool at the gym.

 

Good work.

 

That's amazing! Thanks for posting that!

 

Add in this potential modification to this program ...

Day 1
Week 1 - 3x6
Week 2 - 4x6
Week 3 - 5x6
Week 4 - 2-3x6

Day 2
Week 1 - 2x15
Week 2 - 3x15
Week 3 - 4x15
Week 4 - 2x15

Day 3
Week 1 - 3x8
Week 2 - 4x8
Week 3 - 5x8
Week 4 - 2-3x8

 

That's awesome!! Printing now....

 

"T", in the upcoming months it will be fun to see how those who use your Fullbody workout - the program, improve... There's nothing better than looking into a mirror and seeing the rewards of rep -n- set cycling...

 

It would take a helluva lot more than that to make me look cool at the gym.

 

Can you/should you cycle through this 2X per week? Do you need to have a day off between cycles? I'm thinking my plan would look something like:

Monday: Day 1
Tuesday: Day 2
Wednesday: Day 3
Thursday: Cardio/off
Friday: Day 1
Saturday: Day 2
Sunday: Day 3
Monday: off/cardio
etc.

Does this look right?

Thanks!

 

OK, I admit I'm a n00b. Why is the rest interval 120s? What determines this time? What happens if you rest longer or not as long?

 

No

 

Because you need to rest

Heavier loads require longer rest intervals.

 

Makes sense to me Thanks!
