Plan Details
The Fat Loss Not Mass Loss routine is a 6 day workout plan. It is an advanced level plan to achieve cutting fitness goals.
This program is designed to increase workout density and keep the heart rate high throughout. It should feel like you are doing cardio while weight training. Pay close attention to the rest times. Supersets are designed into the program. When an exercise has a rest time of zero, move directly to the next exercise. Any exercise with a rest time greater than zero indicates the end of that superset. Choose very challenging weight for the first exercise of each pair such that you can barely complete the recommended number of sets with the recommended number of reps. Attempt to beat the previous week's performance each week you choose to use this workout. Likely, you will need to move to a different program or change the exercises in this program after 4-8 weeks. I recommend moving to a program that blends strength and hypertrophy. The prescribed cardio is optional. The time given is arbitrary. Choose a length that is optimal for your own goals. Also, choose only one of the listed cardio options. Multiple modes are included in each day for convenience. For the HIIT training day, you may either choose intervals on cardio equipment or create your own giant circuit or conditioning workout. The goal is to work hard enough for lactic acid production and very high heart rates. Enjoy!
