Subject: Why antagonism is GREAT for fat loss (and keeping muscle)

I'm not talking about antagonism against people, though...I mean antagonism in your training...

When you’re losing fat, you NEED to keep an eye on your muscle mass and do whatever you can to maintain it. 

Your muscles are what gives your body shape and it’s what powers your metabolism, especially when you’re trying to lose fat fast. 

 

This is going to be done using my Time-Volume Training protocol.

It’s honestly one of my very favorite training styles.

The original version of Time-Volume Training is simple (the version I’m going to show you today is the “antagonistic” version)…

  • Take a weight you can get 10 reps with and do 3 reps with it. 
  • Rest 10 seconds. 
  • Do another 3 reps. 
  • Rest 10 seconds. 
  • Do another 3 reps.  
  • Continue in this fashion, doing 3 reps sets on 10 seconds rest until you can no longer get 3 reps (don’t push to failure on ANY sets).

Now you increase the rest to 20 seconds and keep going with 3 rep sets. Instead of changing weight, you change REST.

When and if you can no longer keep up with 3 reps, then you increase the rest to 30 seconds.

Keep going for the duration of your time block (I use 15 minutes for back, chest and thighs, 7 1/2 minutes for all other parts).

If you can make it 1/3 of the way through your time block while keeping to 10 seconds rest, then you can increase the weight 10% in your next workout.  If you can’t, then you stay at the same weight.

Very simple.

 

Antagonistic Time-Volume Training – What it is, why it’s good and how to do it

This version of Time-Volume Training will have you doing TWO exercises instead of one exercise…and these exercises should be directly opposite to each other.

It's going to allow you to stronger longer and really get maximum muscle and growth stimulus.

It's a fantastic training method...one of the BEST ways to kick start your fitness journey in 2021...it works with very minimal equipment, or even no equipment at all!
