best type of workout while losing bf?

[coachj0233]

whats the best type of workout to do while trying to lose bf? i was thinking of DC training, but then i also know about the whole high reps per set thing too.

i like the idea of dc bc its a 1 on 1 off routine and i could do my cardio every single day.

what do you guys think? any suggestions are welcomed.

Just stick to your normal training regimen and make sure your diet and cardio are in check. No certain workout will help lose bf IMO.

I second that. I dont feel that 20 reps per set burns anymore fat than 8 reps per set. Of course, your workout intensity will effect the calories burnt but not necessarily the number of reps. Diet and cardio are those deciding factors.

circuit workouts are great to lose fat. Think of it this way. Your moving the whole entire time. If you don't think that you are going to burn more calories moving around (while increasing your aerobic capacity) your nuts. lol
You can do it a number of ways. Total body workouts, a group of body parts or even just two. The key is to just keep going and only rest when you absolutely need to. In this type of workout I would bump your reps up to somewhere between 12-25 so your weight should lighten up. note 1: swallow your pride. if i'm benching 450 and your benchin 150 and i am a fat piece of shit...who's gettin laid? That's right I want to be benching your weight.
if you do need rest i would take somewhere between 45-90 sec at most. If you follow this you should be burning more cals and reducing more fat than just following your normal workouts. I've been a personal trainer for 7 years and a master trainer for 1yr. I also manage a sports club. I've seen this work on not only myself but my clients and my trainers clients. note 2: don't skip out on your cardio just because your workouts make you breath heavy. Eat every 2.5 to 3 hours and make sure that your getting enough protein. I usually tell people that you should eat your weight in protein. If you want to weigh 250 you should eat 250 grams protein. if your going up to get to 250 you probably have to eat a little more than 250. on the way down i don't over compensate though. i keep protein at my target weight and then i reduce my carbs accordingly. remember 1gram protein = 4 calories as do carbohydrates. I keep saying I but I use this with my clients as well. Some people are going to bash my protein number but you can justify this number by saying that protein requirments are based on BMI. No one has a BMI of 100% or 250lbs muscle on a 250lb person. So the proteing should be cushioned based on this statistic.
Hope this helps a little bit. PM me if you want more.
