Weight training program that can build muscle and boost your fat loss


This is a four day weight workout schedule. Perform this on top of your weekly cardio to help you towards reaching your fat loss goals and to build some muscle.

I recommend starting this if you’ve already had some experience in the gym and familiar with most of the exercises. Ask for some professional advice for help on form.


If you cannot reach the the lower rep ranges, 8 and you get 6 or 7, that’s an indication that the weight maybe too heavy. If you’re reaching the higher rep ranges 12 then that could be a sign to start increasing the weight slightly. You’ll make progress if you apply the proper resistance, it may take a few workouts to adjust the initial weight.

You could stick on this program for 4-8 weeks and then start mixing the exercises, volume, resistance and rest intervals up to avoid plateaus.
