Strength Training for Fat Loss

I had a really early workout today.

1a) BB Incline Bench Press 95x8, 100x7, 105x2x5
1b) Prone Cable Row 100x2x8, 110x2x5
2a) Neutral DB Overhead Press 30x3x6
2b) Chinup 8, 7, 6
3a) Top Range Close Grip Bench 105x6, 95x10
3b) DB Hammer Curl 25x2x5
Dragon Fly 6

My primary focus for my training right now is gaining strength. However, through gaining strength I am increasing my lean muscle. By increasing my lean muscle I am burning more fat throughout the day. There are many other ways to strength train for fat loss, but this is my personal favorite: I love lifting heavy. Fat loss doesn't just come from lifting: it is also a result of smart eating habits.

Remember, do what you enjoy!
