    Supersets for weight loss


    Ok if I wanna burn fat & tone with supersets

    Of 10 reps x 4 how much rest between sets
    Should would be optimal?

    Example, bent over row + bicep ez bar.

    I have about 21pound to lose

    Thanks

    Kcal deficit.
    Lift for how you gained mass, just eat less and you will lose fat...weight on the otherhand is tricky...you could be heavier but leaner...
    Eat 1g/lb bw in protein daily, spread across meals every 3 hours, lots of veggies, carbs after workout but limit to starch e.g yams and fat with EO meal other than post W/O.

    Go gluten free and drop the sugar out.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Remeber, you cant out train a vacuum mouth.

    Be disciplined, and get sleep.

    you bein that detailed wont "tone" you up. if you want increased muscle definition, that means lowered body fat, which all comes down to your diet.

    you doing strategically timed supersets without a proper diet, it's not going to mean or do anything

    vary your reps and sets, do drop sets, apply time under tension, supersets, ect

    Supersets for weight loss


    I second the advice of the above posters.

    Do you the following if you haven't already:

    1) google 'calorie calculator' and click on the second result. Type in your info and it will give you maintenance calories-----> go 500-700 below that per day.
    2) download MyFitnessPal (its free) so you can count your calories.
    3) utilize at least 20 minutes of cardio per day (incline walking ftw).
    4) use drop sets, super sets, concentration, everything you got to shock your muscles.

    Supersets for weight loss


    If you want some examples of good supersets, here are some:

    Triceps: skull crushers/close grip bench/seated dips (8/8/8)
    Cable push downs/cable overheads 12/12

    Biceps: hammer curls/ seated curls 10/10
    ^^ you can also do drop sets

    Back: DB rows and cable rows (8/12)

    What would going gluten free do? Considering there is little to no evidence that a GF diet is a optimal diet to follow unless you are indeed gluten intolerant.

    Lift the fücking weight from the floor, or leave it on the ground. The thoughts are supposed to be daunting. The pain is meant to be tormenting.
