Did you know?
Anaerobic Exercise is exercise of much higher intensity than aerobic work, which uses up oxygen more quickly than the body can replenish it in the working muscles.
This is a five day training guide to help you get shredded. Now it won't get you shredded in five days but will certainly get you going in the right direction. Try out this great program right here!

A 5-day training and diet guide to help you get shredded - not in 5 days, but it's a start to get you on the right foot. This is no sciency mumbo jumbo - this is what to eat and how to train. This is based on a 45% carbs, 35% protein, and 20% fat, and is designed for a 215 lb male.

I wrote a previous article on gaining mass; it gave a formula on how to calculate your caloric needs. Review that piece, determine your needs, and multiply by 20% to cut back. Fat loss requires a calorie reduction through diet and through exercise.

Last week, I discussed some "must do" tips to lose fat; combine those tips with a fat loss program, such as this, and you'll be on your way.

    *B1 & B2, and C1 & C2 are supersets. Perform one set of each exercise in a circuit format, until you have completed all the work sets.

    **Tempo refers to lifting speed. The first number is lowering, the second is pausing in the bottom position, and the third is lifting. So a 4,2,2 tempo would be a 4-second lowering, a 2-second pause, and a 2-second lift.
