About The Plan: This program is modeled off the success of the hundreds of clients that I have trained. It uses principles of HST (hypertrophy specific training) and functional fitness. The goal is to maintain as much muscle as possible while engaging in a caloric deficit to actually lose the weight. Establishing a workout routine like this isn’t about burning calories--it’s about maintaining muscle mass (the main driver behind your basal metabolic rate) so that you have a strong, functionally fit body left over after you have lost the weight.

Weight loss simply means consistently staying in a caloric deficit. Figure out how many calories you eat on average per day, then take away 500. You will lose 1 pound per week. Take away 1,000 and you will lose 2 pounds per week. This cannot fail as long as you are consistent .

As you progress, you can change out any of the exercises with one that works on the same muscle group.

How Much Weight Should I Be Using For Each Exercise?

This is what you need to figure out during the first week. Whatever weight you can do for the given rep ranges (while still maintaining good form) is your starting place. From there, try to tack on a little more weight (or an extra rep) every workout. As you progress, your improvements in terms of strength may not occur every workout but every week, and eventually every other week.

About Form And Rest: One to three minutes between sets is ideal. However, for more compound movements, which may or may not be in your plan, three to five minutes is necessary. When it comes to form, it simply cannot be understated how important good form is. Bad form increases the likelihood of injury and may prevent you from training the right muscles for each lift.
