The Natural Protein Source Serious Bodybuilders Take to Forge Their “Bodies of Iron”

Everyone’s looking for an edge. Sure, a few modern-day supplement discoveries have provided incredible boosts for today’s bodybuilders, creatine for example, but if you constantly search for the silver bullet supplement, you’ll only wind up with holes in your wallet. Years of experience have revealed a few time-tested basics of good bodybuilding nutrition. Knowing about protein and aminos is common knowledge, but there’s another equally powerful, although less popular supplement, known as desiccated liver – AND strength, size, and endurance all typically increase after adding a quality desiccated liver supplement to your diet.
Liver tablets have been a mainstay of bodybuilding almost as long as the sport itself has existed. Stories from the old timers are filled with examples of phenomenal gains they made on liver tablets. This is still one of the most potent training aids a bodybuilder can use.

Here’s How to Take Ultra 40 For Best Results

The amount of Ultra 40 that you should take depends on your level of training and energy needs. Beginners can start at six tablets per day (two per meal), and intermediates should take no less than six liver tablets per meal over three meals or 3 - 5 tablets per meal over 5 - 6 daily meals. Start with 1 - 2 per meal and every week add an extra tablet until you reach the desired level. Advanced bodybuilders make fantastic progress on 30-40 liver tablets per day over periods of time. We suggest women take 9-18 tablets per day.

Advanced muscle-building tip: also a favorite trick of Vince Gironda. Take 2-4 Ultra 40 liver tablets and 2-4 Mass peptide-bonded amino acid tablets on the hour (or even every half hour) throughout the day. Clients have reported muscle gains of 1-2 lbs a week using this method.

These amounts allow you to take in tremendous amounts of protein and nutrients without large amounts of food. You should build up gradually to this amount to avoid upsetting your digestion. While desiccated liver is not considered the cure-all it once was by bodybuilders, it has proved time and again invaluable in breaking through those sticking points in your strength as well as contributing to improved energy flow on a restricted diet. In short, Ultra 40 delivers results.

Experience IMMEDIATE and SATISFYING results with this all-around physique & performance enhancer!

ULTRA 40 is a high-potency, all-around physique and performance enhancing supplement that can provide benefits to virtually anyone who trains regularly.

Word spreads fast on the Web. As a result, each day more men and women are realizing that ULTRA 40 is one of the most powerful physique and performance enhancers available. Testimonials from real-world ULTRA 40 users reveal that it provides a comprehensive range of benefits (hence, “all-around”). Moreover, it produces results that are immediately noticeable and highly satisfying. Many users consider ULTRA 40 to be one of the best sup-plement investments they have ever made!

All-around supplements like ULTRA 40 are rare indeed. (Another example of such a product is QUADRACARN.) Why? They require the use of expensive specialty ingredients. This makes them expensive to manufacture. Only if the benefits are impressive will customers pay for them. Like QUADRACARN, ULTRA 40 regularly passes the “benefits test” with flying colors. Before we dive into the details of this powerful formula, let’s take a brief look at the history of liver tablets.

Liver tablets: A nutritional treasure from the “pre-steroid” era!

ULTRA 40 is an ultra-premium beef liver tablet formulation. Before bodybuilding became largely a chemical affair (as with steroids, growth hor-mone, etc.), legends of the sport were supple-menting their training with liver tablets. The best of these liver formulations worked incredibly well.

Bodybuilding “gurus” like Vince Gironda and Rheo Blair compared liver tablets to steroids because of their profound physique and performance enhancing effects -without the side effects, of course. They recommended that bodybuilders consume up to 100 or more tablets daily. (Keep in mind some of these liver formulations were less concentrated than ULTRA 40.)

The secret to the all-around benefits provided by ULTRA 40 lies in the fact that liver tablets are more than just a source of highly usable protein. Each ULTRA 40 tablet is literally packed with an array of vitamins and other critical nutrients and growth factors capable of stimulating a wide variety of metabolic pathways including the build-ing of healthy blood and muscle cells, and much, much more.

ULTRA 40 details

What is ULTRA 40? ULTRA 40 is a 100% Argentine Beef Liver formulation. It is available in a bottle containing 500 tablets.

What are some of the benefits that I can expect from using ULTRA 40?

• Greater energy, strength, stamina and endurance
• Faster muscle gains
• Increased muscle fullness
• Better muscle pumps
• Improved overall well-being (users report “feeling stronger and healthier”)

What makes ULTRA 40 different?

• Derived from 100% Grade 1 Argentine Beef Liver. ULTRA 40 uses the highest grade of liver. It is obtained from grass-fed, pesticide- and hormone-free cattle raised in Argentina. The cattle are raised in facilities inspected by SENASA, which is the equivalent of the Unit-ed States Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
• Contains heme iron. Heme iron is the most bioavailable form of iron in the diet. It is used by red blood cells to synthesize hemoglobin and muscle cells to synthesize myoglobin. Hemoglobin and myoglobin are proteins that help your blood and muscle cells “trap” oxy-gen for use in energy-producing pathways.
• Contains no fillers. Each tablet is packed with physique and performance enhancing nutri-ents and growth factors. There’s no “fluff” in these tablets!
• Unlike other liver tablets, ULTRA 40 is easy to digest and does not cause gas or stomach upset.
• Popular with elite bodybuilders, some of whom have been using ULTRA 40 for decades to accelerate muscle growth and recovery.

Who is ULTRA 40 ideal for?

Being a high-potency, all-around physique and performance enhancing supplement, ULTRA 40 can provide benefits to virtually anyone who trains regularly or is returning to training after a layoff.

Athletes and workout enthusiasts of all kinds can use ULTRA 40 to accelerate their progress, including but not limited to:

• Physique athletes (i.e. bodybuilding, figure, fitness, bikini)
• Powerlifters and Olympic weightlifters
• CrossFit
• Military
• Football
• Basketball
• Soccer
• Baseball
• Hockey
• Cycling
• Track & Field
• Swimming
• Volleyball
• Running
• Golf
• Tennis and other racket sports

What are people saying about ULTRA 40?

The following ULTRA 40 reviews were recently col-lected from the Web:

Paulwilliamanthony writes: “I have had only 5 days use of ULTRA 40 and already feel the difference with much less fatigue, greater recovery and more get up and go.”

Velmtxmaz writes: “ULTRA 40 is a product that you do have to take the recommend dosage to feel the full effect, but the reward is worth all the pills you have to take. Everything from strength plus stamina/energy and a more fullness feeling of the muscles is your reward when you stay consistent with this product. I will always have this product on my list of essential supplements and would highly recommend anyone give them a try. Remember to take the recommended dose or you will not feel the benefits as well.”

Johnboyw: “ULTRA 40 is the real deal. I usually don't respond to much of anything. Many, many pre-workouts gave little to no help. I started tak-ing ULTRA 40 at 1 tab per 10 lbs weight. Monday came and the workout was as usual. Wednesday came and the workout was phenomenal. I hit 10 reps on every set of every exercise, even when I upped the weight from last week. I couldn't fig-ure out what was going on. I thought maybe I just had a good day, but I have a stuffy nose and I got maybe 6 hours of sleep last night, if that. I couldn't figure it out and then it hit me. The liver tabs! That was the only thing that had changed. It wasn't a placebo effect either because I was expecting 0% increase in strength/energy. I went into the gym to-day hoping to meet or increase slightly what I did last week.”

SQBubble writes: “I'm on my 2nd bottle of ULTRA 40, and I will forever use this product. It makes you stronger, fuller, adds detail, and lets you control the weight better when you lift really heavy. I never thought such a simple product would help so much. I will always have some on my shelf. FYI, I take 18 tablets a day (3x6) on workout days and 12 tablets (4x3 or 2x6) on rest days. Get this if you want results.”

Dkwwood writes: “Cheap and conveniently sized tablets (they are actually easy to swallow) that can be taken with meals to boost nutritional quality. I take four or six with each meal depending on the protein content and my workout schedule.”

Mikedemeter writes: “I had the pleasure and privilege of working under Vince Gironda. There wasn’t a drug-free champ that didn’t live on liver tablets, eggs and digestive enzymes to maintain muscular density and vitality. Between meals, ULTRA 40 is an ideal addition –typically 20-30 tabs at a time. You all saw the results back then. Sow the same seeds, reap the same harvest.”

Alconcel4 writes: “ULTRA 40 is an old school sup-plement that has stood the test of time. Energy is prolonged and recovery is rapid when taking the recommended doses. Tablets are smooth and easy to swallow. Highly recommended!”

What can I stack ULTRA 40 with?

MASS AMINO ACIDS: For those wishing to acceler-ate mass gains, a popular stack consists of ULTRA 40 and MASS AMINO ACIDS tablets. Users of this stack regularly report making lean, hard mass gains of several pounds in 6-8 weeks.

A sample supplement stack combining Mass and Ultra 40 might look like this:

• Client: 180-lb Male
• Goals: Add lean muscle size and strength
• Optimum Ultra 40 and Mass Amino Dose:
• 18 tablets daily of each Beverly Stack:
• Breakfast: Super Pak, Mass (3 tablets), Ultra 40 (3 tablets)

The key is to be sure to take 1 tablet each of Mass and Ultra 40 for every 10 lbs of body weight. Give it a try, your results are guaranteed – strength, stamina, and muscle size.

What else works well with ULTRA 40?

QUADRACARN: This is a top-selling supplement with men and women of all ages and backgrounds. The main reason why is that, like ULTRA 40, it is an incredible “all-around” product. QUADRACARN pro-vides a wide range of benefits including enhanced fat loss, muscularity, pumps, sexual potency, cogni-tive performance and more. Stacking ULTRA 40 with QUADRACARN is sure to produce incredible results!

The training and nutrition program explained in this article is perfect for anyone who needs to gain bo-dyweight, along with more muscle size and strength. If you follow the workout and supplement plan as written, you should conservatively gain a minimum of six pounds in six weeks. Follow either of the training programs intelligently and the accompanying nutritional program to the “tee” and a ten-pound gain in six weeks is highly achievable.

Muscular Weight Gain Training Rules

1. Train 3 days per week. No extras!
2. Do only the exercises listed.
   Do not add anything.
3. Do 3-8 reps on each work set.
4. Do 3-5 work sets on each exercise.
5. Rest 3 to 5 minutes between each work set.
6. Adhere to the compound interest cumulative nutrition plan as closely as possible.
7. Follow this program for six weeks.

Monday:
Chest, Biceps and Triceps

Chest

Bench Presses: 2 warm-up sets, 3 work sets; 5 reps per set.

Your first warm-up set of 5 reps will be with about 60% of your work set weight. If you plan on using 200lbs for your 3 work sets, you’d use 120lbs for your first warm-up set of 5 reps, 160lbs (80%) for your second warm-up set and then 200lbs for 3 sets of 5 reps. If you successfully achieve 5 reps in good form on all your sets, add 5lbs to each set the next week.

Incline Press: 3 work sets; 8 to 4 reps.

You can use a barbell or two dumbbells, whichever you prefer. I use barbell inclines in this particular workout because we’re going to be adding weight and going down to just 4 reps on the last set so the dumbbells can get a bit unwieldy. Do one warm-up set of 12 reps, then choose a weight that you think you can get for 8 reps. If you make 8 – stop! For the second set add 20 pounds (barbell) or 10 pounds to each dumbbell and go for 6 reps. Add 10-20 more pounds for your final work set and try for 4 reps. Record your poundages. If you successfully get 8 – 6 – 4 on your consecutive three sets, add five pounds to each set your next workout.

Biceps / Triceps

Barbell, EZ Bar or Cheat Curls: 5 sets, 5 reps (use the same set and rep scheme as bench press).

Close-Grip Bench Press or Dips: 5 sets, 5 reps.

Wednesday: Legs

Legs

Squats: 5 sets; 5 reps

Squats are undoubtedly the best exercise for weight gain. If you’ve been using a very wide stance and/or less than optimal range of motion, there’s a chance you are going to have to relearn this exercise. Use a foot position about shoulder width apart. As you descend I want you to imagine there is a marble on the center of your quad. Keep going down until the marble would start rolling toward your hips. This will guarantee that you’ve broken parallel and will reap all the benefits in added muscle and strength that come from this fabulous exercise.

Use the same progression as you did for the Bench Press. Do a general warm-up, then for your first set use 60% of the weight you will use on your three work sets. Your second warm-up set will be at 80%. You may want to experiment a little with your weights before you start this program since you may be squatting a little dee-per than normal and may have to use less weight while relearning the exercise.

Select a weight that will allow you to squat in perfect form for your three work sets of 5 reps each. When you can get 5 reps on every set – add 5-10 pounds to bar the next week!

Straight-Leg Deadlifts: 3 sets; 6-8 reps.

Form is everything on this exercise. It’s one of the best to stretch and thicken your hamstrings. Keep your back arched, head up and knees very slightly bent. Arching your back instead of rounding it like so many guys do is the key to this exercise.

Leg Curls: 3 sets; 6-8 reps.

Do not “bang out” the reps on this exercise. Instead squeeze, contract, and let the weight down slowly.

Calves

Standing Calf Raises: 3 sets; pyramid 20 down to 10 reps.

Go all the way up, hold for a two-count, and then extend slowly as far as your range of motion will allow.

Saturday: Back and Shoulders

Back

Deadlifts: 5 sets; 5 reps.

Legs shoulder width, knees bent, back arched – use an overhand grip and straps. Keep the bar close to your body as you pull. Don’t bend your arms.

Warm-up with a couple of light sets and some stretches. Then add weight as you did for the Bench Press. Add 10lbs to the bar each week that you complete all your work sets in good form.

Bent Barbell Row or Cable Row: 2 warm-up and 3 work sets; 5 reps per set. (Same sets and reps as Monday’s bench press workout.)

Pulldowns: 3 work sets; 8-4 reps (same as incline press.)

Use an underhand (palms facing) grip. Hands should be shoulder width or closer. Pull from full extension all the way until the bar hits your upper chest. Try to make your elbows follow an arced path as you pull them down and back. This is a lat builder my friends– think lats and let your biceps go along for the ride.

Shoulders

Shrugs: 3 sets; pyramid from 8 down to 4 reps.

Use straps if you like. Shrug straight upward. Try to touch your shoulders to your ears. Squeeze at the top.

Seated or Standing Military Presses: 5 sets; 5 reps (same set and rep scheme as bench press).

You can use a barbell, dumbbell, or Smith Machine for this exercise; one will work as well as the other. However, it’s easier to progress with the barbell version if you’re not afraid to put a 2-¹⁄₂ lb plate on each side each week. In six weeks you increase your poundage 25lbs – not bad!

Where’s the ab work?

Actually, handling the kind of weights you’ll be building-up to will work your abs indirectly. If you really want to add some direct ab work throw in a total of 50 reps of either crunches and/or leg raises as a warm-up to your primary workout.

An Abbreviated Version for the Slow Gainer

Recovery is a very important factor in weight gain. When you are really trying to gain additional bodyweight, do not overtrain! For many (probably, most), including those relatively new to weight training, those who work at physical labor, those engaged in organized sports, or even those who have a limited time to train, the above workout will be just too much. In that case, we recommend a shorter, but just as effective, program that will allow greater recuperation.

Monday

1. Squats: 5 sets; 5 reps (same set, rep scheme as above)
2. Bench Presses: 5 sets; 5 reps
3. Bentover Row: 5 sets; 5 reps

Wednesday

1. Deadlift: 5 sets; 5 reps
2. Incline Press: 3 sets; 8-6-4 reps
3. Pulldown: 3 sets; 8-6-4 reps

Saturday

1. Breathing Squats: 1 set; 20 reps
2. Light Pullover: 1 set; 20 reps
3. Shoulder Press: 5 sets; 5 reps

For each exercise follow the instructions listed in the full program above. The Breathing Squat is to be performed as follows: after a general warm-up load the bar to 50% of the weight that you used for your squat work sets on Monday. If you used 275lbs for your 3 work sets on Monday, use 135lbs on Saturday. Three monstrous breaths between each rep is the key, not the amount of weight you use. If you successfully complete all 20 reps, add 5-10lbs to the bar next Saturday. Don’t give up on them because they are too hard, many men have gained 50lbs and more in bodyweight by concentrating on this one exercise. For more instruction, Google “breathing squats”. On the Pullovers, keep your arms straight, use a very light weight – 20 or 25lbs is not too light, and try to stretch your ribcage.

Compound Interest Weight Gain Protocol

I got the idea for this nutrition protocol from my experience with Weider Crash Weight Formula #7 back in the summer of 1965. I was 18 years old, 6’1” and stuck at a bodyweight of 170 pounds.

The stuff was horrible but the theory behind it wasn’t so bad. Add 3500 calories daily to your normal caloric intake and you gain a pound a day. And it worked! I drank two quarts of milk per day. I used Weider Crash Weight Formula #7 and actually gained five pounds in one week. The pounds weren’t necessarily muscle because Formula #7 was 70% sugar – but still, I finally gained some weight. That experience taught me one of the basics of weight gain, “If you want to gain weight, you need more calories, PERIOD!”

Another lesson I learned from my Formula #7 experience is to add the extra calories gradually throughout the program. (One of the side effects that anyone who used Formula #7 experienced was- your body cannot get used to pounding an overabundance of calories overnight. Consequently, a lot of time was spent during the first week eliminating the extra calories.)

Here’s how you can gradually add quality calories to your nutritional intake each week and achieve pound-a-week or better gains. Get your hands on a 5lb container of new Beverly Mass Maker Ultra and add just 1 serving daily to your current nutritional food and supplement intake to begin your Compound Interest Weight Gain program.

Then each week add to your protein and calorie intake by following the suggestions below. These subtle additions to your diet will accrue week after week just like compound interest in your muscle bank account.

Week One: Simply drink one serving of Mass Maker Ultra (MMU) each day in addition to your current diet. Don’t cut anything out, just find the best time to drink your delicious MMU shake and do it consistently each day.

Added calories = 390 per day; 2730 per week; calculated gain - 0.78lb. That’s just a little over ¾ of a pound. Doesn’t seem like much, but we’re just getting started.

Week Two: Add a 2nd serving of Mass Maker Ultra to your daily nutrition. (Be sure not to cut back on any of your regular meals. In two weeks you have just increased your daily baseline calorie intake by 780 calories per day (that’s more than a one pound weight gain each week).

Added calories = 780 per day; 5460 per week; calculated gain – 1.56lbs.
Cumulative week 1 and week 2 calculated gain = 2.34lbs.
(You’re well on your way).

Week Three: During week three add one scoop of UMP to each of your two Mass Maker Ultra shakes.

Added calories = 1020 per day; 7140 per week; calculated gain – 2.04lbs.
Cumulative weeks 1, 2 and 3 calculated gain = 4.38lbs.

Week Four: I’ll bet you are still gaining at least one pound a week, so stick with the week three protocol of 2 servings of MMU daily with 1 scoop of UMP added to each.

Added calories = 1020 per day; 7140 per week; calculated gain – 2.04lbs.
Cumulative weeks 1- 4 calculated gain = 6.42lbs.

Week Five and Six: We’ll give you 2 options here based on your progress to date.
Option 1: If you are happy with your progress, continue with 2 servings of MMU and UMP daily. To volumize your muscles and wring out the greatest strength gains possible, add Beverly’s Creatine Select with Beta Alanine for the final two weeks.

Added calories = 1020 per day; 7140 per week; calculated gain = 2.04lbs. per week.
Option 1 Cumulative Gains for weeks 1-6 calculated gain – 10.5lbs.

Option 2: If by the start of week 5 you have not gained at least five pounds, add a 3rd serving of MMU and UMP each day, along with Creatine Select for the final two weeks.

Added calories = 1530 per day; 10,710 per week; calculated gain – 3.06lbs.
Option 2 Cumulative Gains for weeks 1-6 calculated gain – 12.54lbs.

Other essentials you must include in your nutrition program are very high potency vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and a digestive enzyme complex to help metabolize the extra calories. Luckily you can get all of these from just two supplements - Beverly’s Super Pak and Multiple Enzyme Complex. Take one Super Pak each morning with your first meal and two Multiple Enzyme Complex tablets with each serving of Mass Maker Ultra.

If you follow this supplement program faithfully and continue eating your current baseline diet you can easily add ten pounds of muscular mass to your frame over the course of this six-week program. Will you gain 12 pounds of muscle? Probably not – various metabolic factors come into play that will generally limit your gains on such a program to 6-10 pounds. And everyone who reads this magazine is an intelligent person who knows that there is no program or supplement out there that requires no effort or discipline on your part. Are you willing to give it a shot?

The rationale behind our Natural Muscle Size Workout and Diet is that you first must lay down a foundation of size and strength. Whether you’ve been working out for decades and just need to “reinforce” your foundation, or are relatively new to the weights, this can best be accomplished through basic exercises, heavy (for you) weights, systematic progression, and an increased focus on nutrition with an emphasis on frequent use of very high quality protein and a slight overload of calories.

Natural Muscle Size Workout

Here are the basic workout rules:

1. Read the instructions listed for each exercise. They will tell you exactly how to structure your sets, reps, and progression to get maximum results.
2. Follow this schedule for 12-16 weeks as you progress through the levels of your Natural Muscle Size Supplement program. Whether you’re an intermediate or have been training for decades, be prepared to make some of the best gains of your life in strength and muscle size.

Monday: Chest, Biceps, Triceps

Bench press: 4 work sets; 5-6 reps, but no more than 6 reps per set. Warm up, then do 4 sets of benches with the same weight. You should be able to get 6 reps your first set or two, but may fall to 5 reps on your final 2 sets, with or without a slight spot. As soon as you can get 6 reps on all 4 sets without a spot in a workout, add ten pounds your next workout and start over!

Incline Press: 3 work sets; 8, down to 4 reps. Use a barbell or dumbbells. Do one warm-up set of 12 reps, then put on a weight that you think you can get for 8 reps. If you make 8 – stop! For the second set, add 10-20 pounds and go for 6 reps. Add 10-20 more pounds for your final work set and try to get 4 reps. If you successfully get 8 – 6– 4 on your consecutive three sets, 2 workouts in a row, then add 10-pounds to each set your next (3rd) workout.

Barbell curls / Close-grip bench press: (Alternate Sets – 1 biceps set rest, then 1 triceps set, rest and repeat.) 4 sets, 5-6 reps (Use the same set and rep scheme as bench press.)

Lying tricep extensions: 3 work sets; 8 to 6 reps (Use the same weight all three sets, when you can get 8 reps on all three sets, increase the weight your next workout.)

Wednesday: Legs

Squats: 5 work sets; 4-6 reps. Use a foot position that’s shoulder width apart. As you descend imagine there is a marble on the center of your quad. Keep going down until the marble would start rolling toward your hips. This will guarantee that you’ve broken parallel and will reap the maximum benefits from your squats. Begin with a couple of warm-up sets. Then do one more warm-up set of 6 reps with a weight that is 25-50 lbs below your 6-rep max. Now select a weight that will allow you to squat in perfect form for five sets of 4-6 reps. When you can get 6 reps on every set – add weight! It’s ok to take up to 5 minutes rest between each set!

Straight Leg Deadlifts: 4 sets; 6-8 reps.

Leg curls: 3 sets; pyramid from 12 reps down to 8 reps on the final set.

Standing calf raises alternate with Seated calf raises: 3 sets; pyramid 20 reps down to 10 reps. For both exercises go all the way up, hold for a two-count, then lower slowly as far as your range of motion will comfortably allow.

Saturday: Back and Shoulders

Deadlifts: 5 work sets; 3-5 reps. Keep the bar close to your body as you pull. Warm-up with a couple of light sets and stretch between warmups. Then add weight each set staying in the 3-5 rep range. For example: Week One you might do 135x5, 185x5, 225x5, 255x5, 275x3. As soon as you get 5 reps on the final set, add 10 lbs to each set listed your next deadlift workout.

Bent barbell rows or Cable rows: 4 work sets; 5-6 reps. (Same sets and reps as Monday’s bench press workout).

Reverse grip pulldowns: 3 work sets; 8-4 reps (same as Monday’s incline press.) Use an underhand (palms facing) grip. Try to make your elbows follow an arced path as you pull them down and back. This is a lat builder – think lats and let your biceps just go along for the ride.

Shoulder shrugs: 3 sets; pyramid from 8 reps down to 4 reps. Shrug straight upwards. Try to touch your shoulders to your ears. Squeeze at the top. Don’t roll your shoulders either.

Shoulder press: 4 sets; 5-6 reps (same set and rep scheme as bench press). You can use a barbell, dumbbell, or Smith Machine for this exercise.

Lateral rasies: 3 sets; 12-10-8 reps (use the same weight for all sets).

Training for Maximum Fat Loss while retaining Lean Muscle

This training program is actually the 1st phase of a pre-contest workout routine. But you don’t have to compete to accrue the benefits (fat loss and muscle retention or gain) of the program. Your goal should be to become the very best you can be within a certain time frame. If you want to set a goal on where you will place in a contest that is fine too, but remember the real contest is with yourself.

There are four parameters of progress that you should be concerned with during fat loss (or contest) training.

• Increase reps with same weight
• Increase weight for the same rep range
• Add weight whenever you are successful at the top number of reps for a certain exercise.
• Decrease rest intervals between sets – best for fat loss and pre contest.

You can do this first thing in the morning, directly after training, and also on your off days. Use a rower, stepper, elliptical, treadmill or kettlebell swings. You can use preprogrammed workouts on the various cardio equipment, or with kettlebells check out Pavel’s “The Quick and the Dead” or StrongFirst’s “Kettlebell Swing Conditioning” program.
