This is my exact workout I did which got me into peak condition . I basically went through years and years of training performing the usual split routines and got to a point where it wasnt working for me anymore . So I started experimenting and my goal was to find a way to burn fat and increase muscle tissue at the same time . My solution was a full body low volume but heavy explosive workout . This not only gave me the heavy weight lifting buzz it also gave me the heart pounding cardio through the explosive fast lifting I was doing . The results were - I increased insane muscle tissue and looked more athletic and vascular . I dropped more body fat than I ever did from long cardio workouts and was fitter then I'd ever been in over 25 years of lifting . I still continue to use this method and find it really gets me into shape very quickly
The idea of this style of weight training is to Increase your metabolism grow new lean muscle tissue and burn tons of fat without any additional cardio. Unlike normal weight training workouts you will be performing a full body workout 3 times a week and each workout will be performed explosively and fast with short recovery time which is the key to the extreme fat loss that can be achieved when training like this. You will choose heavy weights that allow you To fail at the chosen rep range. the good thing about this is that because it's low volume and not to many sets for each body part you are able to recover fairly quick so you are able to get back in the gym 2 days later ready to hit the whole body again. hit it HARD and FAST and you will have THE MOST cardiovascular IRON workout you've ever had.
