Lactic Acid Training for Fat Loss
Been doing quite a bit of reading on Charles and think i maybe starting this program shortly Lactic Acid Training for Fat Loss by Charles Poliquin Whenever an athlete shows up at my training facility looking like he has spent the better part of the off-season camped in front of Krispy Kreme Donuts, I immediately put him on a program that incorporates short rest intervals. Short rest intervals lead to an increased production of lactate, and an increase in lactate leads to dramatic increases in Growth Hormone, thus resulting in very significant losses of body fat. This method is called the "German Body Composition" program, or GBC for short. While many people in the field–TC included–have professed skepticism that the exercise induced GH release was sufficient enough to cause significant fat burning, my personal experience with scores of athletes confirms the effect. Consider that the typical amount of GH that professional bodybuilders inject each day is actually a smaller amount than that released by the pituitary during lactate training! In fact, if the program is done correctly, GH production is 9 times normal–enough to make an army of dwarves grow tall. While the original GBC program proved to be very popular for lay people and the average athlete, I often use an advanced version of GBC for elite athletes and super conditioned amateurs. Not only does Advanced GBC lead to dramatic fat loss, but it is also quite effective in growing muscle and developing muscular endurance. At first glance, the program seems easy, perhaps ridiculously so, but if done properly, it is anything but easy. When I first presented a version of it to the National Judo Team, they laughed. I simply challenged them to do 3 circuits of the following: 12 squats (at 12RM) Rest 60 seconds 12 chins (at 12RM) Rest 60 seconds 12 deadlifts (at 12 RM) Rest 60 seconds 12 dips (at 12 RM) Despite their confidence, they only completed one circuit and promptly turned green. The first time I tried it with Marty LaPointe from the Detroit Red Wings, we practically had to put him on the plane in a wheel chair. The secret to making it effective, though, is choosing the correct resistance. In the version of advanced GBC training I am about to present, you must choose weights that accurately reflect your 6RM of an exercise, your 12RM, and your 25RM. In other words, you must pick an exercise that will crush your spleen after 6 reps, after 12 reps, and after 25 reps. You should have one eye pop out of its socket upon completion of the last rep, whether it is 6 reps, 12 reps, or 25 reps. The Advanced GBC Program You will perform 2 exercises each training session using the following split: Day One: Chest and Back Day Two: Legs Day Three: Off Day Four: Shoulders and Arms Day Five: Off Repeat The cycle is meant to be performed 6 times. Doing it longer will result in diminishing returns. Here are some suggested movements, along with the prescribed rest periods. Day One: Chest and Back A1. 6 Incline Dumbbell Presses at 45-degree angle Rest 10 seconds A2. 12 Incline Barbell Presses at 45-degree angle Rest 10 seconds A3. 25 Incline Dumbbell Press at 30-degree angle Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times B1. 6 Weighted Chins Rest 10 seconds B2. 12 Bent-over Rows Rest 10 seconds B3. 25 Seated Cable Rows to Neck Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times Day Two: Legs A1. 6 Squats Rest 10 seconds A2. 12 Lunges Rest 10 seconds A3. 25 Leg Extensions Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times B1. 6 Leg Curls Rest 10 seconds B2. 12 Romanian Dead Lifts Rest 10 seconds B3. 25 Reverse Hypers or Back Extensions Rest 2 Minutes Repeat 3 times Day Three: Off Day Four: Arms and Shoulders A1. 6 Seated Dumbbell Presses Rest 10 seconds A2. 12 Seated Lateral Raises Rest 10 seconds A3. 25 Lateral Raises with Cables Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times B1. 6 Dips or Close-Grip Bench Presses Rest 10 seconds B2. 12 Decline Barbell Extensions Rest 10 seconds B3. 25 Cable Pressdowns Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times C1. 6 incline Dumbbell Curls Rest 10 seconds C2. 12 Standing Barbell Curls Rest 10 seconds C3. 25 Standing Pulley Curls Rest 2 minutes Repeat 3 times Additional Notes: • If you work out at a commercial gym, you might be hampered by slackers and fat cows who steal your exercise stations. As such, you may need to improvise and do different movements.Additional Notes Regarding Fat Loss As a reader of Testosterone Nation, I am going to assume you are familiar with rudimentary rules of proper eating. However, I would like to stress a few points that you might not have routinely considered. First of all, keep in mind that approximately 75% of the American population simply does not do well with carbs. As such, try to eat carbohydrate foods that score below 50 on the glycemic index. The obvious exception to this is post workout, when it is recommended that you do eat high GI carbs, along with protein. Secondly, simply eat more vegetables–lots more vegetables. That simple trick alone will help you burn fat. You might also consider gorging on the cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, as there seems to be an epidemic of "man boobs" in America. These vegetables are strongly anti-estrogenic, and including them in your diet could go a long way in eliminating this unsightly and decidedly embarrassing problem.
