12 / 18 workout for fat loss
📌12/18 workout? Are 8 reps for building muscle and 15 reps for getting lean?❓REALLY❓
🔥This is one of the biggest WEIGHT TRAINING MYTHS!
Doing more reps won’t speed up your fat burning!!
Diet is key
💥Remember…Every workout, when properly prescribed, aims to build lean muscle and lose fat 😉 What will enhance that or not is your diet 😉 there is no workout, when done properly, that will “reduce” your lean muscle mass… believe me 😉 Fat loss is uniform…not in specific spots… it’s impossible to lose fat in just one part of your body.
🔥What will make someone lose weight and lose fat is the combination of WELL-PRESCRIBED weight training and a diet designed to consume fewer calories than your daily expenditure. That way, your body will be in a calorie deficit and draw on its fat stores to make up the difference.
💥It’s important to note that the greater your muscle mass, the higher your daily calorie expenditure, because muscle needs more energy to function. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn each day. That’s why weight training is so important in the weight-loss process!

Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it, and right is right, even if nobody is doing it.
And for those of you who stick to the basics that work, here are some tips: always check the condition of the equipment you’re going to use. Check everything: cable integrity, equipment stability, and the condition of the floor.
🎯When using the leg press or Smith machine, check and use the safety locks!
🎯Even your shoes… avoid very unstable sneakers, for example, when doing a barbell squat…
That’s it.
12/18 workout or cardio for fat loss?
I don’t recommend long, moderate- to low-intensity cardio sessions for fat loss… if it’s for leisure and enjoyment, that’s fine… but it’s already known that they’re not the best strategy for fat loss..
You could run all the way to the moon… and your fat loss would be negligible… it would be easy for me to recommend running 5 km a day… but it wouldn’t get you anywhere. Focus on your diet. Always. If it’s for leisure, that’s fine!! Do it because you enjoy it! No problem!
