Do you want to increase your power and strength while building lean muscle?
In order to build overall strength and power, sometimes you need to incorporate heavy compound exercises into your workouts.
This workout is a Metabolic Resistance Workout and unlike some my other circuits we are enhancing the metabolic effect by using heavier weights to increase strength and power.

Do you want to increase your power and strength while building lean muscle?
In order to build overall strength and power, sometimes you need to incorporate heavy compound exercises into your workouts.
This workout is a Metabolic Resistance Workout and unlike some my other circuits we are enhancing the metabolic effect by using heavier weights to increase strength and power.
Remember, power is your ability to perform a given amount of work in a specified amount of time – it’s also known as “work capacity”. The more work you can do in a shorter amount of time, the more power you produce.
Power is key when it comes to getting a lean, fit body, as it triggers a powerful neuroendocrine response—the natural release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).
HGH is triggers fat metabolism for energy use in muscle growth, which means you lose fat while gaining dense muscle tissue. It also enhances protein synthesis in skeletal muscles, building stronger, larger muscles.
The exercises I chose in this circuit are truly enhanced compound power movements using kettlebells and dumbbells while supplementing in a few plyometric exercises using bodyweight and the TRX.
Exercises like cleans and snatches are true compound movements forcing you to use multiple muscles and joints to get it done. Plyometric movements work the fast twitch muscles in the body. Your body has faster twitch muscle fibers helping to increase muscle faster. This combination of exercises naturally increases the intensity of the workout.
As usual the actual exercises in the workout include push, pull, lower body, upper body and core movements to make ensure your entire body is being targeted.
The tempo of each exercise requires speed throughout with good form so we can increase the energy demand giving you a metabolic effect to burn fat and increase cardio. If you increase the number of reps within the interval time you will increase the metabolic cost.
In the end this metabolic resistance will help you to increase your overall power and strength while helping you maximize fat loss while building more muscle mass.
SPARTACUS KETTLEBELL WORKOUT FOR STRENGTH – “NO REST FOR THE WICKED”
I have to admit, it’s been a long time since I did a full kettlebell workout…and I miss them so much!
Using kettlebells to for strength and muscle mass is great, especially if you use challenging weight. The harder you work the more calories you burn too.
Because using kettlebells are ballistic, there are many more muscles being used at the same time accelerating your fat burning and muscle building.
Mike Mahler, a kettlebell instructor, expert and strength coach, indicates like weight training, there are five areas that are worth focusing on for balanced development of the body 5 Pillars of Strength Exercises and my workout incorporates most of them.
1. Press: 2. Pull: 3. Squat: 4. Lower Body Pull: 5. Core:
Covering the above five areas ensures that you build a strong and balanced physique.
I put together this workout that uses one kettlebell and your Gymboss Timer. It takes about 35 minutes and is super effective. Grab your Kettlebell, Gymboss Timer and try this workout today!
