The Ultimate Guide to Body Recomposition
Golden Rules exist to show you how, to be followed, to use... It makes little difference what your ultimate goal is or what challenge you face. Just look for the applicable Golden Rule and follow it...
Listed here are my 5 best Golden Rules to Body Recomposition.
Golden Rule # 1, Increase muscle mass. The thinking behind doing it that way is that most people think of body change just by losing weight or gaining muscle Remember, you can actually do both. Elite athletes do it every pre season.
# 2, Reduce body fat. This could be very important because even if you gain muscle mass and don't lose the fat you'll never be able to see the muscle. You will want to remember that most people store fat around the middle of their body. So reducing fat in this area and adding muscle above and below adds to an 'X' like figure.
# 3, Drink more water. The reason that you'll want to do that is because your body is primarily made of water and water aids liver function. Helping transportation of fat and creating muscle glycogen.
# 4, Increase Protein Intake. There can be other ways to do this, including taking protein shakes in powder form. This can be a good way to increase protein intake.
# 5, Increase Intensity In Training. You could potentially do this by training less. Still do the same amount of sessions but spend less time working at a higher intensity. The body requires progressive overload to improve. This may be important for you because doing so will help save your energy and keep you mentally fresh when dieting. Increase intensity in training could entail lifting heavy for fewer repetitions, again to work the principle of progressive overload. This could be really critical because doing so will increase muscle mass when coupled with increased protein intake.
Carefully follow these golden rules to body recomposition and you will probably find your progress to be quite rapid as well as your successes greater, more frequent plus much more satisfying.
All of these guidelines must be followed correctly. They work in a synergistic fashion. Improved training intensity and protein intake leads to more muscular development which enables better fat burning.
