How To ReComp your Body The Right Way!!!
Losing fat and building Muscle, isn’t that the goal of almost any one of us that steps foot into the gym. Sure we may have other goals, but lets not bullshit we want to look better!!! We want to have more muscle, less fat and overall look more appealing to the human eye.
So many of us have this goal, yet so few achieve it. Well my friends that come down simply to your approach. See you are not approaching the goal correctly in the first place. Thinking that you first need to gain muscle, then you will start “Cutting” is a crock of shit!!! You can do both at the same time, but it all comes down to approach and the factors that you are putting into the equation.
The first step in this equation is nutrition. How are you eating to accommodate this goal. As you have probably read in previous articles of mine in the past I am a huge advocate of the carb cycle approach and how that can get your body moving in either direction. So in the case of someone looking to lean out but keep muscle moving up we would want a carb cycle with a higher protein content to accommodate the added intensity of resistance training to stimulate an environment needed for growth. I would ideally structure lower fat/higher card days around lagging body parts so we can utilize the positive insulin effect of the carbs. Again we want to keep protein stable and a little higher than normal so that as our body starts to lean out, we are able to keep and even build muscle. The type of carb cycle does not matter so much, as long as there are constant changes throughout the week to keep the body guessing. To keep it in a state of insulin sensitivity so that you are positively using all the macro nutrients that come through food.
So now that we see how nutrition plays a role in this lets next talk about training and simply INTENSITY!!! You see way too many people nowadays are half-assing their training. Sitting on their phone, having conversations, not training with intent. And they wonder why they can’t grow. Its because you are training like a PUSSY!!!! You simply are not putting in the work. You are not giving your body a reason the respond and grow.
Now there truly is not a right and wrong way to train. HIIT, Low volume, High Volume, power building, etc , they all work if the intensity is there. But you need to put forth effort with this!! You need to push the sets, keep your heart rate up, bring your body to a state of work!!! We need to create the environment in which our bodies need to get stronger. And that comes from the effort that you are putting forth in the gym and in life!!!!
BEYOND JUST BODYBUILDING!!!!!!
