| | ^^Therein lies your problem with full-body workouts. Way too many exercises and way too much isolation. In fact, almost none of it is compound movements. Stick with the big lifts and you can cut that list down dramatically, making it much more effective. Here can be a good sample workout: (By the way, read the article that Karky gave on full-body workouts, it is a very good article. - Squat
- Deadlift
- Push
- Pull
- Lunge
- Twist
Everything can contain variations, but that is the jist of it. For example, switch it up between front, back, bulgarian squats; SLDL, Romanian, conventional deadlifts; DB Bench, Incline, Shoulder Press, etc.. and so on and so forth. Stick to the big lifts and you will see some dramatic changes with a full-body workout. |

| | | Yet another question guys...
As I have previously mentioned I have been focusing on weight loss for the last 2 years and have cut down to 13 percent body fat. I want idealy 10 percent body fat and have read that I am not intaking nearly enough calories to build muscle. I need to up my calorie intake from a measely 2000 to at least 3500 to have excess calories in which can form into muscle. My question is, should I concentrate on weight loss until I achieve my 10 percent body fat and then go for the bulk or start now? Can I gain muscle and still shed the pounds of fat to lower my body fat percentage? My goal is to have a nice six pack (eventually) as well as being bulk in general but I would have to say my abs are first on my list. I am very scared as to this whole idea of upping my calorie intake by so much, although i'm sure eating the right foods will only assist me. I just have this huge fear that the calories will just go into fat instead of muscle. I guess time will tell huh? :P

| | | well if you are 13 percent, thats pretty lean. if you want to build muscle, you have to eat more food. you need a caloric surplus. its very very hard to build muscle while losing fat. read around the forums. |

| | | I just took the time and read the article "Testosterone Nation - Total-Body Training". That has to be the most informative article I have every read. Since I want to make my abs more visible, I will focus on getting down to 10 percent body fat and then slowly go for muscle gain. Thanks Proteinboy! |

| | | Thanks for the article. It was one of the best I've ever read as well.
As for your second question black: Losing fat and gaining muscle is possible but it's very hard because when one is cutting (fat loss), the muscle builders (protein, carbs, calories) aren't as available to the muscles as they normally would be when one is bulking. It's far more realistic to bulk, cut, & repeat than to try to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time. Again, it's hard but it can happen. It's just that it's not as conventional as the bulk, cut, . . .approach. |

| | | yeah, thats a good article, it tells you what to do, however, it doesnt really say much about why that method is effective, but thats not what the article is suppose to do, because his got so many other articles covering that.
Waterbury has tons of full body workouts on that site, aswell as many cool methods of gaining strenght, like the 10x3 (10 sets, 3 reps), ive seen some GOOD gains with that, his become on of my favourite authors.
just make sure when you bulk that you dont do it the "traditional" way, with eating tons of food and gaining like 2lbs a week, because that will be mostly fat, do it slowly and controlled. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
