Best Training split for anyone with a busy schedule

A lot of guys want to know how to lose weight despite a crazy schedule, you feel you don’t have time to go to the gym and I understand why. Most workouts are usually around the hour mark and that’s not including a warm up and a shower after your workout.
That’s quite a lot of time especially for anyone who has to take care of their job, be there for family, and enjoy life.
But Training does not have to an overwhelming commitment in fact over training with a busy lifestyle can be counterproductive in getting results.
The aim for a busy guy is to get in and out the gym and dominate the rest of their day and to make a habit of training and staying in shape without doing marathon workouts.
All my workouts I deliver require minimal equipment and are targeted specifically for the needs of busy individuals who want to lose weight and achieve an athletic physique?
Coming very soon I will be launching an Online coaching program for you guys that will teach you how to get in shape in just 3 hours per week with simple workouts, minimal equipment and eating solutions.

Using tension to build muscle

I have spent a lot of time studying and trying different methods to improve my physique, If you have suffered from injuries in the past like myself it might be wise to drop the load and concentrate on the tension placed on your muscles.

Perfect execution of an exercise will place greater tension within the working muscle, when loading up on an exercise eg. the Db chest press a lot of people end up placing the load and tension on the wrong muscles because the load is to big and the execution and set up of the exercise is poor.

If you perform an exercise properly you should feel the muscle throughout the set.

What is the best way to train to get a lean defined physique?

How many times have you researched this topic and seen hundreds of different ways and methods to get a lean defined physique, most of us are in the mindset that if you spend hours hammering the abdominals every day you will end up with a well defined set of abdominals. You couldn’t be more wrong.

The main reason many people don’t see any changes to their body shape is because they don’t focus on adding muscle. Muscle definition will come from being lean enough, and the shape will come from adding lean muscle mass. Overall the real definition will show when body fat levels are low enough. The key to well defined physique is to get lean first.

You can’t create an impressive physique by focusing on light weights with high reps a lot of people are in the mindset that this will give the muscle more tone. It will never happen!! Once you have added a decent amount of muscle tissue its then all about how lean you can get which will give you the end result.

The key here is to focus on good quality nutrition and following a smarter well structured program combining resistance training and some high intensity cardiovascular work.

If you have ever seen someone with a decent amount of muscle mass, and seen the shape and separation of each muscle, that’s the result of building a lot of muscle and the lines and definition of the muscle come when body fat levels are low enough. The program doesn’t change to try and tone and reveal the shape!!

So keep focusing on getting stronger, building muscle, stick to good quality nutrition and focus on getting leaner, and you’re on your way to a well defined physique.

Shorter Cut To Faster Muscle Growth

You might be wondering how some people make such fast gains. In the modern era people are growing and getting quick results mainly because steroids are so easily available these days. On the other hand there is the odd genetic freaks out there that can build muscle very quickly that are drug free.

Here is a few tips for anybody wanting to speed up the rare of muscle gain

1. Focus on progressive overload on a handful of the biggest exercises which recruit the most muscle fibers, eg squat, deadlift, bench press, dips, pull ups and overhead press.

2. Try to get 8-9 hours quality sleep

3. Put your all into every single workout that enables you to add weight each week. The stronger you get the bigger you will get.

4. A high quality diet containing plenty of easily digested meals that are rich in protein and adequate in healthy fats.

8. Log every single lift this is crucial to ensure progression is made on a weekly basis

Fat loss tips for 2015

So its New year again and my guess is a lot of people will be embarking on a fitness regime to lose weight or get fit starting in January.

A good percentage of people will start with good intentions and then give up because they are not getting any results.

Here are some fat loss tips to prevent you from failing in 2015.

1.Diet- don’t look for quick fixes and FAD diets that will starve you to death, this will just lead to metabolic damage which will then make fat loss very difficult. Not to mention the rebound of piling weight back on.

2.Goal setting- set realistic goals, losing 3 stone in 6 weeks is unrealistic and you will fail. This will then lead to becoming demotivated.

3. Try resist temptation- you will always be surrounding by poor nutritional choices on a daily basis. You need strong will power to avoid falling off your diet to succeed in the long run. If you really want to lose bodyfat you will say no.

4. Making excuses- skipping the gym because you are tired is a poor excuse, there will always be an excuse to miss training or eat a biscuit because its the weekend. Remind yourself of your goals and this should avoid you going back to old habits.

5. Enjoy the process- results will lead to more motivation, be consistent on a daily basis!!
