Fat Burning Workouts Using Tri Sets

Tri Sets Another Circuit Training Workout For Lean Muscle And Fat Burning

A couple of day’s ago I posted an article about using supersets to burn fat and lean muscle gains. Lean Muscle Workouts: Supersets Burn Fat Gain Muscle <==click here to read. Today we are going to use another training method by adding an exercise to our superset workouts.

Tri – Sets Upping The Fat Burning Intensity

As you may have guessed Tri Sets are doing 3 exercises with minimal or no rest in between. I actually touched on Tri Sets in a post a few months back you can read here===>Resistance Training Cardio Tri-Sets and Giant Sets. Both super sets and tri sets are high intensity forms of strength training.

As with superset I like doing my tri sets with antagonistic muscle groups where possible. Although with Tri’s there is going to be some crossover.

An Example of One Of My Tri – Sets

1A) Barbell Bent Over Rows

2B) Incline Dumbbell Presses

3C) Snatch Grip Deadlifts

I set my timer for 20 minutes and it’s time to get to work. Lift heavy reps 4-8.

Tri-sets workouts are a great tool to use for  lean muscle gains and fat burning. Tri-sets increase the intensity of your workouts, by forcing your muscle to do more work in less time. Which is great for muscle building.

Tri sets are basically a mini circuit training workout, Tri-sets are great for full body workouts and split body routines as well. Although you know I favor full body workouts. Which if you look at the example workout above I hit virtually every bodypart.

Another bonus of Tri Sets shorter workouts. I have mentioned the lean muscle gains but tri’s also work very well for fat loss.

When setting up a Tri Set workout generally, try to alternate a pushing exercise with a pulling exercise, or an upper body movement with a lower body one.

One of the least talked about aspects of training is workout density, which is the amount of work you do in a given time frame. The greater your density, the greater your caloric expenditure.

To that end, the simplest way to increase density is to shorten rest periods. So for your rest periods in between exercises as I said before keep them as short as possible 30 seconds and under. But it is based on your conditioning level so in the beginning if you need more take it next workout try and cut it down even if only a second or two.

So there you have it give the tri seis a shot. Add them to your lean muscle workouts and you’ll up your workout intensity, lose fat and increase your cardio capacity

Results Producing Full Body Workouts

What are the key’s to lean muscle building and fat burning full body workouts? Today we are going to talk about exercises.

1) First Define Your Goals - Since you are here I assume you know that our focus is lean dense muscle. We don’t train for massive muscle mass. If you do more power to you, you can use some of the idea’s we use.

So we want lean muscle but we also train for muscle density which comes about with low body fat.

2) Exercise Selection - This is where it get’s fun. I am a big believer in going into all my workouts with a lot of intensity. I train hard. If your workouts aren’t intense you are only cheating yourself. So our exercises should be (as I’ve mentioned before) compound exercises. And which one’s?

As Craig Ballantyne calls them:

 The Big 5 Lean Muscle Building And Fat Loss Exercises

The Big 5 are not specific exercises. Instead, they are specific movements, but this allows for a huge number of exercises to be used, and therefore a lot of variety in your workouts.
