Program Details The programs in this section utilize multiple fat loss protocols: » Straight Sets. Complete all prescribed sets for the exercise before moving on the next in order. » Circuit Training. A series of exercises done in succession without rest, done for time or reps. This full body workout hits all the major muscles of the body with four core lifts.The first two weeks use Straight Sets with the intensity technique Short Rest Periods (use a stop watch if necessary). Week 2 marks an increase in volume and a decrease in rest periods, and features a different exercise order for variety. The second two weeks progress to Circuit Training using the same exercises. Week 4 increases volume with a decrease in reps per set. As you progress through these workouts, try to add weight to each exercise from the previous week, if possible. Substitute a Chest Press for Push-Ups if you can complete 15 reps. Remember to set up your exercises and weights before each circuit set to make your workout as efficient as possible. Schedule » Perform each workout three times per week on non-consecut days for a total of 12 workouts in 4 weeks.

About Henry Matthews

Online personal trainer

Former high school football standout and student athlete for The Tennessee Technological University. I started exercising at the age of 14 with my older brother in the back of our apartment patio. First exercise was bench press. I fell in love with it and saw the results within a few weeks. I noticed after my introduction to strength training, I had a little advantage over my peers. So, I became obsessed with working out. Even to the point where I would catch a bus or walk to the school to get my session in. This is where I found the drive, grit, and passion for fitness. As the years passed, I became stronger, faster, and gained the ability to be allusive. In college, that mindset didn’t change, but instead, I adapted to the size of my competitors. Meaning that, I’m small- framed but compacted with power. Furthermore, fitness has been apart of my life for over 16 years. Through trial and error, I’ve perfected my training regimen and developed the ability to adapt this program to meet the needs of all people and their specified goals.
