The Fastest Way To Lose Fat
If you struggle to consistently get clients to lose fat, you’re not alone.
At some point every trainer thinks they’re doing everything right yet the scales don't move. I struggled with this myself for a long time.
Everyone wants to lose fat.

Nobody knows how to train for it properly.
To accelerate it, we need to do two things:
- Accumulate tonnage.
- Raise lactic acid levels.
Does anyone know the best training methods to emphasise these?
The fact is —— fat loss is hard, there are many factors we can’t control but one we can, is how effective the workouts we use are.
In case you haven't noticed, I’m a very detail orientated and analytical trainer, knowing the numbers allows you to pin point exactly what’s going right or wrong.
A program designed for fat loss need to do two things:
- Accumulate tonnage.
- Raise lactic acid levels.
But How?
To accumulate tonnage we use High-Volume training methods, think supersets, tri-sets & giant sets. Lots of exercise, lots of reps.
To raise lactic acid we will use German Body Composition workouts, pairing compound upper body exercises with compound lower body exercises.
