I am always asked what type of training is better for increasing lean muscle while burning fat.
Is it traditional weight training using isolation movements (training each muscle group separately) or metabolic workouts training the whole body using multi-muscle movements?
These days research and real world results continue to prove that there is a clear leader in answering which training method will allow to burn fat and build lean muscle effectively.
Let’s take a look at a couple of examples that will state my case for using one over the other:
In a recent Study at the University of Alabama, researches had 2 groups of men perform two different strength training program with same total training volume (sets and reps) for each muscle group
One group split the workout across 3 total body workouts.
The other group training each muscle group separately one time per week.
Results: the researchers discovered that the total body workout group gained five additional pounds of lean muscle mass compared to their body part-training counterparts.In another study at the university of Wisconsin, it found that men who performed a total body workout using just 3 big muscle exercises (Bench Press, Power Clean and Squat) had elevated metabolism for 30 hours after completing the workout
In addition they burned a greater % of fat during that 39 hours, compared with men who didn’t perform full body workouts
Finally, research shows that 3 total body metabolic workouts per week WINS over daily isolation workouts – traditional weight training
These examples, my own real-life results along with the amazing results thousands are getting from using my workouts, Metabolic Training reigns supreme if you want to burn fat while build lean muscle.
…Research and real world results continue to deliver evidence of its efficacy for burning off unwanted body fat, increasing growth hormone so that you can build lean muscle
If you are a guy looking to get rid of you Male PMS (Puffy Muscle Syndrome) or a girl looking to build fit, firm and fabulous athletic body, the trash the tradition isolation workouts and start using my Metabolic Workouts throughout your week.
Metabolic Workouts using multi-joint movements for time or sets and reps will be more effective at building lean muscle and burning more fat than training with traditional isolation exercises…
