Lean Muscle Building Spartacus, Gladiator And 300 Workouts

Getting Lean Muscled And Ripped

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about all these Gladiator and Spartan workouts etc. So I thought let’s take a look and see what they are about. Now obviously they are all geared towards lean muscle gains, getting ripped and having unstoppable cardio capacity.

Sounds like the kind of Lean and Ripped body we want

All of these workouts are all based on some form of circuit training workouts. Circuit training is taking x amount of exercises normally between 4 and 10 and going non stop till you’ve gone through the whole circuit.

In my last post I posted this 5 exercise complex (another way of saying circuit training)
Upright Row x6, then
Hang Clean x6, then
Front Squat x6, then
Military Press x6, then
Squat x6, then

Rest for approximately two minutes. Then repeat for up to a total of five sets.

Circuit training workouts have become popular because well flat out They Work. Now I'll tell you personaly I prefer using Supersets and Tri Sets. That's just a personal preference. You can't really argue with the results guy's and girls are getting with these total body workouts.

Now I decide to scour the internet and checked out a bunch of these lean muscle workouts. I have some of what I thought were good workouts and thought you would get something out of them.

In the coming day's I'll be breaking down these workouts and we will see what we think is the best way for lean muscle gains and getting ripped.

First up we have Jeff Cavaliere from Athlean X

1 workout, 300 reps, no rest….are you ready?

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 Muscle 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 building expert Vince DelMonte has helped over 20,000 skinny guys and consults with fitness experts all around the world on the most critical and supporting elements to build lean muscle mass and to experience consistent muscle growth. 

In this article, Vince unmasks his own secrets that he used for building 41 pounds of steel-solid muscle in only six months – without any drugs or steroids, without bogus supplements, and while training less total hours than before. 

In just weeks, you can make the same life-changing transformation.  Find out his advanced muscle building strategies on how to build muscle, fast!

Whether you approach your physique as a hobby or a job, you should not leave any element to chance and hope it works.  In order to defeat plateaus and forge a ripped and muscular body you need all the tips and tricks you can get.  None of these techniques will work alone but by combining as many together as possible you’ll see a huge difference in your muscle growth – faster than before.

1. Begin with 3 full body weight training workouts every 48-hours.

2. Take your body weight in pounds and multiply it by 15 to determine your daily caloric intake if you want to gain weight.

3. Perform only 1 exercise per body part each full-body workout but perform a different exercise for each body part every workout.  By the end of the week you’ll have hit each muscle group three times from three different angles.

4. Consume carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio to protein after your workout in liquid form.

5. Perform each set to muscular failure.

6. Use a training journal and track your progress.

7. Drink at least 4-6 liters of water each day.

8. Vary your rep and set schemes more frequently than any other training variable.

9. Focus on exploding up on the concentric portion of your movement and taking 3-4 seconds for the eccentric portion of your program.

10. Aim to build at least 5-6 pounds of lean muscle mass each month.  Anything more will be fat gain.

11. Eat at least 10-15 serving of fruits and vegetables each day.

12. Focus on compound movements for 80% of your workouts.

13. Alternate between dumbbells and barbells every 2 weeks.

14. Only change an exercise when you plateau on two workouts in a row.

15. Enter a fitness model or bodybuilding show or transformation contest to keep you motivated.

16. Follow a program for at least 12-16 weeks before trying your next one.

17. Pyramiding your sets to consistently increase your strength 5% each week.

18. Consume a variety of whole eggs, chicken, lean beef, fish and whole-milk throughout the day for high quality (bioavailable) muscle building protein.

19. Use a training partner for motivation and an extra push to experience faster muscular growth.

20. Never train hungry if you want to build muscle fast.

12 Minute Workout Adding Lean Muscle And fat Burning

About 2 weeks ago I posted an article about using alternating exercises (supersets) for fat burning and lean muscle gains.

One of the best ways to set up your workouts for adding lean muscle and fat loss is by using alternating exercises. Now when I say alternating exercises what I mean is picking 2 exercises doing a set of one, rest as little as needed than do a set of the other. This is also a form of Density Training.

Fat Burning Workouts Using Alternating Exercises

Today Craig Ballantyne is going to take us through an upper body specific workout. In this workout you’ll do a superset upper body workout that includes the Incline Dumbbell Chest Press exercise paired with the Incline Dumbbell Row exercises.

For the chest presses, you will press the dumbbells up and in and then down and out.

Immediately after this exercise move into the incline DB row. So, with your bench inclined at about 45-degrees, lean up against it, grab both dumbbells and then simply row up, while using the bench as chest support.

Rest and then repeat that superset as many times as you can in 12 minutes.

Think this isn’t enough for adding lean muscle and losing fat? Think again!! If you go into your workouts with a lot of intensity and focus on the big 5 lean muscle and fat burning exercises you don’t need to spend hours working out.

Now with a workout like this when your done throw in 10 minutesw of interval training and you have a super charged 20 minute fat burning workout. Oh and don’t forget the added muscle, strength and energy.

Craig Ballantyne is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and writes for Men’s Health and Oxygen magazines.

His trademarked Turbulence Training for Fat Loss have helped thousands of men and women with weight loss and fat burning in less than 45 minutes three times per week. Turbulence Training for Fat Loss workouts help you burn fat without long, slow cardio sessions or fancy equipment.

Craig’s bodyweight workouts for fat loss help you lose fat without any equipment at all.

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.

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.

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.
