Fat Loss Lesson

Fat Loss Lesson: Don't dedicate an entire training session to chest and shoulders. And especially don't dedicate an entire training session to arms.

If you are trying to lose some fat, the only training splits you should ever do are total body workouts or upper/lower splits.

That's it.

Working each muscle group only once is not enough frequency. Also, think about it: which workout would burn more calories during and after the workout?

A) A workout for chest and triceps: 3 sets of flat bench, 3 sets of incline bench, 3 sets of triceps kick-backs, and 3 sets of triceps push-downs

or

B) A total body workout consisting of 3 sets of front squats, 3 sets of chin-ups, and 3 sets of dumbbell bench presses

The answer is B, no question about it. You are using much more muscle, so you will burn more calories during the workout and long after the workout is finished!

Ladies, if you want great fat loss results with only 3 workouts a week, I recommend you take a look at Turbulence Training.
