Build Muscle And Burn Fat Faster

What is the best way to build muscle and burn fat? If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that. So whats the answer?

There isn’t any one best way

I’m a variety guy (okay ha ha stick your sex joke here). But really there are so many tools and systems available to build muscle and burn fat. Here are what you want to use:

Lean Muscle Building Tools And Musclelean muscle building and muscle density training Density Training Systems

  • Weight Training still number 1 – stick to the big compound total body exercises. Train heavy. Keep your reps in the 4-8 range.
  • Kettlebells – for me kettlebells are kind of 1B to weight training being 1A. Strength, lean muscle, cardio and fat loss.
  • Bodyweight exercises - just because you don’t have a weight in your hands or a kettlebell doesn’t mean you aren’t using resistance training. Bodyweight exercises can be very valuable to lean muscle gains and muscle density.

Training Protocols

  • Supersets – one of my favorite workouts I’m using involves supersetting Dips and Snatch Grip Deadlifts. Great combo for building muscle and fat burning.
  • Tri – Sets - 3 exercises done back to back to back. As with supersets little to no rest in between exercises.
  • Complexes which is what today’s article is going to cover.

Muscle Density And Fat Burning

Our focus here is quality lean dense muscle. I have talked alot about total body exercises and workouts with weight training and kettlebells (the 2 best ways of lean muscle building and fat burning) and different exercises to use. Today Craig Ballantyne is going to show us 3 exercises that can help put the finishing touches to your physique.

One of the training methods I haven’t touched on much here (but will be) is interval training. Interval training is typically done after your weight training workouts or on your off day’s. Now when most people think of doing intervals they think sprints.

I’m not real big on running, just to let you know. There are alternatives to sprinting that in my opinion are more effective and have less injury risk.

As an example higher rep kettlebell swings and snatches are made for total body fat loss and conditioning. Kettlebell combination exercises are great total body exercises. And as far as bodyweight exercises go you can’t beat Burpees.

3 Ways To Do Interval Training At Home

Today, I’m going to show you 3 ways that you can do interval training at home with no equipment. So, forget about the fancy treadmill and elliptical machines, all you’ll need for this workout is a dumbbell or kettlebell for two of the exercises along with your bodyweight.

The first exercise I’m going to show you are Dumbbell or Kettlebell Swings. So, what you will do is perform a series of swings for 30 seconds, and then rest 30-60 seconds, or however long you need, and then repeat that 6 times. A swing is similar to the squat motion, but it involves a lot of power from your hips and not a lot from your arms.

So, holding the dumbbell with both hands against your body in front, place your feet a little bit wider than hip width apart, push your hips back, and then swing up. You should be using a lot of hip power to perform this movement.

Lean Muscle And Fat Burning Exercises The Big 5

Total Body Exercises That Build Lean5 fat burning workout boosters for holiday fat loss 150x150 Lean Muscle Building And Fat Burning Exercises Muscle And Burn Fat

Did you read yesterday’s article? Your Interval Training Workouts More Effective Fat Loss <==click to read. So in the last few day’s we have decided for maximum fat loss and lean muscle gains our resistance training and interval training goes hand and hand.

We have also talked about how using compound exercises (total body exercises) and total body workouts give us the most bang for the buck. We want to spend less time working out and get great results, that’s where The Big 5 comes in.

Today I’m handing it over to Craig Ballantyne to give us his breakdown on the Big 5.

If you are going to the gym and spending too much time while not getting the results you deserve, then you probably aren’t using the right exercises. You need to make sure your workouts include the Big 5 Lean Muscle Building, Fat Loss Exercises.

Over my 16 years of training and training men and women for fat loss, I’ve stumbled across the “Big 5″ movements that must be used in a total-body fat burning, lean muscle-building workout.

The “Big 5″ movements are guaranteed to boost your metabolism, add lean muscle and burn fat.

 If you don’t have these types of exercises in your program, then you are wasting your time and money when trying to lose fat.

So I designed this workout around the Big 5, and put them into a circuit(which I’ll have for you tomorrow-Joe) to help you get more results in less time. But first, let’s go over the Big 5 lean muscle and fat burning exercises
