Plan Details
The Shortcut To Shred (Phase one) routine by quintval is a 25 day workout plan. It is an intermediate level plan to achieve cutting fitness goals.
Jim Stoppani- Shortcut to Shred Cardio acceleration is critical to Shortcut to Shred. It will fire up your fat-burning furnace-like nothing else. Cardio acceleration is a technique that combines high-intensity cardio and resistance training into one fast-paced workout. Instead of resting between your lifts, you will do cardio between every single set. Simply put, you’ll lift one set of a prescribed exercise, such as bench press, and then immediately follow it with one minute of cardio. Cardio effectively replaces your rest periods. Now, I don’t mean you have to rack the barbell, run across the gym, and jump on a treadmill or stationary bike. Your cardio acceleration exercises can be as simple as running in place next to the bench. You can also jump rope, perform dumbbell cleans, step-ups, or any combination of full-body exercises. Whatever you do, the point is to move for an entire minute. Between each set, you’ll do one minute of a cardio acceleration exercise. If you’re new to fitness and find that one minute is too long, you can reduce the time to 30 seconds, or go at a slower pace. The goal is to gradually increase the time you spend doing high-intensity cardio. You want to keep each cardio acceleration minute as intense and demanding as possible. PHASE I Protein: 1.5 grams per pound Fats: 0.5 grams per pound Carbs: 1.5 grams per pound PHASE II – WEEKS 2-3 Protein: 1.5 grams per pound of body weight Fats: 0.5 grams per pound Carbs: 1 gram per pound Like in Phase 1, on the one day of the week that you don’t train, these numbers will be slightly lower since you skip the pre and post-workout meals. Feel free to have your pre-workout shake as an extra snack on that rest day if you get hungry. The sample meals are similar to Phase 1, but this does not mean you need to eat these exact foods and only these foods for all 3 weeks of the first 2 phases of this program. The foods are similar so you can see what I removed and changed to bring the carbs down without affecting protein and fat much. Refer to the alternative foods list for foods that you can use to replace these sample choices so the diet doesn’t become boring and bereft of nutrient diversity
