1 HOW IT WORKS l The first month of the Rock Hard Challenge program is a classic bodybuilding split with a twist. You ll include a handful of intensity techniques that will help keep your metabolic rate firing while you re reducing calories (see the Rock Hard Muscle Meals on p.124). The net effect is that you ll keep your muscle mass or even add to it while you burn body fat. The keys to success are to weight train with intensity, include cardio activities that emphasise fat-burning and also help you avoid overtraining, and reduce calorie consumption only enough that you target fat loss while preserving muscle mass. You ll follow this workout plan for four weeks. In our next issue, look for Part 2 of the Rock Hard Challenge program. Directions A burnout set for the triceps forces them to work without the assistance of other muscles. l Perform the exercises as directed, and make sure to reference the Specialty Techniques column on this page for specific instructions on how to complete certain moves. Paired exercises (marked a and b ) are done as a superset complete a set of the first move and then the next without rest in between. Repeat until all sets are done. Specialty Techniques In Part 1 of the RHC, you ll incorporate the following techniques each week. These strategies help support your goals of maintaining or building muscle mass while shedding fat. INTENSITY SET What it is: A superset that includes an exercise for the targeted body part and a leg exercise that accelerates your heart rate. What you ll do: Perform the move that hits your target muscle group, then follow it immediately with a lower-body move that jacks up your heart rate. After you complete a set, rest for as little time as possible. Choose light weights. After you finish all four intensity sets, take a short rest before moving on to your next exercise. Benefits: You re using anaerobic moves for cardio and fat-burning benefits. STEADY-STATE CARDIO What it is: Treadmill, stationary bike, elliptical or stair-climbing work performed at a comfortable rate. You should break a sweat, but be able to talk to someone next to you throughout. What you ll do: At the end of your weighttraining workouts twice a week, you ll drink your post-workout shake before doing 30 minutes of cardio. Benefits: Compared with other fat-burning techniques, steadystate cardio is easier to perform and it keeps your metabolism elevated. HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING (HIIT) What it is: This form of cardio work includes intense 60- to 90-second intervals followed by 2-3 minutes of easier work. What you ll do: After a * few minutes of warming up at an easy pace, you ll increase the intensity to a perceived exertion level of about 9. Maintain this for seconds, then slow down to an easy pace for a few minutes, allowing your heart rate to come down so you re ready to do another interval. In total, perform at least three intervals, working up to five by the end of four weeks. These workouts shouldn t be long you should be able to complete this work in 20 minutes or less. Benefits: Research shows that HIIT sessions burn body fat more effectively than other forms of cardio. Intensity intervals also have a profound effect on your metabolic rate, burning more body fat in the hours after workouts. BURNOUT SET What it is: A high-rep set performed as the last set that targets a particular body part. What you ll do: Choose a relatively light weight that allows you to get a deep contraction in the target muscle not one that makes you use other muscles to lift it. Benefits: Burnout sets encourage growth by forcing as much blood as you can into the muscles. REST DAY What it is: Well, you know what this is a day where you don t go to the gym. What you ll do: Follow your diet plan but take it easy otherwise. You can rearrange your workouts so rest days fit your schedule better, but take two rest days each week. TRAINING SPLIT Below is the schedule you ll follow for the first four weeks. See above for descriptions of each intensity technique.
