So let’s review all of the important concepts to take into account in order to design a highly effective training program that will promote a lean ripped body. In no particular order, the most important factors that go into an effective routine are:
- Focus the majority of your time on weight training to get lean instead of focusing on cardio training;
- Replace traditional moderate intensity long duration cardio with high intensity shorter duration anaerobic training such as wind sprints and interval training;
- Utilize multi-joint exercises instead of single joint exercises for the majority (if not all) of your training routines;
- Focus on free weights instead of machines for the majority (if not all) of your training;
- Increase the intensity of your workouts by focusing on exercises in which you complete more “work” by moving significant quantities of weight for larger distances .
- Keep your workouts shorter but intense;
- A training frequency of 3-4 sessions per week works best for the majority of individuals;
- Ab specific training should be completed at the end of your workout or on a separate day from your full body training;
- Ab specific training never needs to comprise more than 5-7 minutes of your total 30-60 minute training session;
- Ab specific exercises should provide significant resistance to challenge your strength level
- An arched back should be avoided during ab training while generally focusing on maintaining a hunched back during most ab exercises;
- Perform a functional warm-up at the beginning of each workout utilizing core strengthening exercises to warm up your body along with a brief bicycling warm-up to lubricate the lower body joints;
- Follow a specific type of training program consistently for 4-6 weeks before changing your training variables.
