See Ya, Love Handles



I know, I know. There’s nothing better than running long distances for losing fat. Treadmills help you tone up right? Besides, if you’re not working in your target heart rate, there’s no point at all in even working out, is there?

Well fuck that. I know that when I’m in the gym, I’m not just there to kill time. I want to get in there, get my work done, and get out. Plodding away for thirty minutes on the stationary bike is not my idea of a productive use of time, especially when you can get better results, quicker. This is where complexes come in. Here’s a sample below. Start with a light weight, even just the bar. (THIS IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS).

Hang clean-8 reps
Bent over row- 8 reps
Military Press- 8 reps
Deadlift- 8 reps

Now go through that whole circuit without putting the weight down. Rest 30 seconds. Do it again. And then puke.

Here’s a sample complex to get an idea of how it should look.

That’ll take you four minutes, tops. And you get better cardiovascular benefits than jogging for 30 minutes. Not to mention the elevated metabolism for the rest of the day. Now get to the gym and try these out. Try not to hate me too much.
