This week we get rid of all that lactic threshold training. Well at least for a few weeks. There is one more training week that will push the limits, but we will NOT be doing 25 rep sets again for the remainder of the 12 weeks.
This week we start power, shape and muscle building to give you some extra bumps in that ever leaning body of yours.
Also this week if you haven’t considered or are considering supplementing for increased results, this is the week to get started on that.

The two things I want to stress to you are Multi Vitamin Mineral Formulas and Protein Powders (you can search our site for these if you are in need, or click on the Shop link if you know what you want). Yeah I know you want the elusive lose body fat, get ripped look like a greek statue magic pills. Sorry you won’t get that kind of fluff here. If you are still looking for magic pills then you haven’t really put the effort into your nutrition and your training that is required to succeed.
By putting your faith in the efforts you have with the tools you are receiving you will set yourself up for success for the future, not just the next few weeks or months.
Putting Nutrition FIRST, then EXERCISE and finally Supplements will change your life, not your current body.
If you keep the three pillars of performance in front of you, there will be no need to fall back on them as they will become part of your life and so will the results. You will become the fountain of youth and knowledge for all your friends.
This week its time to start some cardio. Even the muscle building squad, I want you to add just a small dab of cardio.
Until know we have avoided cardio like the bubonic plague, because the training was intense, endurance muscle training and was killing your cardio capacity and the muscle at the same time.
remember Cardio is always to be done POST exercise or at a totally seperate time of day or week.
Cardio is AEROBIC. Meaning AIR.
Resistance Training is ANAROBIC. Meaning without oxygen, sugar burning environment.
Cardio done first will cause you to burn the sugars required for muscle resistance training (anarobic). That will leave you weak and not able to perform to your best in the gym when it counts and will derail all your efforts for a fat burning cardio session post workout.
So do your cardio separate or do it after resistance training.
Fat Loss Squad – 20-30 minutes 3x per week quick pace walk. Incline if you can. Ideally this will be done on NON training days.
Muscle Building Squad – 10 minutes fast walk strong incline, POST workout, 3 times per week
Next week the real killer cardio begins and the fat will start melting off you in 7-10 days from there as your metabolism will be on fire.
