5 Metabolism Boosting Fat-Blasting Workouts For 2017

I have found that over the years, there are some exercises and programming that will just magically light up that metabolism. It’s what everyone wants so they can eat more and get that holy grail of fitness.

I found five workouts that will pay you back huge dividends if you bring your A-game. Now these workouts are basic, but not for the weak. I own one of the most hardcore gyms in the country called Old School Gym in Etna, Ohio, and we do a mix of powerlifting, bodybuilding and some CrossFit/conditioning GPP (general physical preparation) workouts. I mix and match all work each day. I bring five days of metabolism magic— let’s go!

DAY 1:

Row: 250 for time

Squat: 135 for 15 reps

Complete 10 sets

100 ab wheels to finish

Starting this workout out with the row will increase your heart rate quickly and since getting ripped is the name of the game with these workouts, that’s what we want. After rowing, your upper body will be super tapped, so it’s time to hit the lower body with a heavy squat set.

What should i focus on or stay away from when looking for consistent motivation? Thank you in advance.

Muscle-Building Research Review: Best of 2016

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE WITH CREATINE AND REST-PAUSE TRAININGThe right combination of supplement and training techniques can vigorously boost muscle size and strength. One combination suggested in 2016 involved the joint use of creatine monohydrate with the rest pause training technique. Rest-pause training typically involves the use of a weight that you can lift for a specific amount of repetitions. Yet, instead of lifting the weight uninterrupted for a complete set of repetitions, you rest between repetitions. This approach will typically allow performance of additional repetitions, providing a substantial training effect that boosts muscle size and strength.
