What Are The Best 3 Days A Week Workout Schedules For Building Muscle?

Tom Venuto2022-12-11T14:26:18-05:00Weight Training|

More people, especially as they get older, are finding that 5 or 6 days a week of lifting feels excessive, leading to so much fatigue and soreness, it's no longer fun. Sometimes they just give up. Others simply don't have time to train almost daily. If they are all or none thinkers, they might figure, "If I can't follow the ideal schedule to maximize results, why bother at all?" They don't realize how many time efficient training methods are out there. Training only 3 days a week is one of them. They also don't realize you can make excellent gains with only 3 workouts a week. And there are more options for 3 day schedules than you might imagine...

To Gain Maximum Muscle, Should You Train Each Body Part Once a Week or Twice A Week?

Tom Venuto2022-12-10T08:25:43-05:00bodybuilding, Gain Muscle|

One of the biggest training debates in recent years is about the ideal training frequency: If your goal is building muscle, should you train each muscle group once a week or twice a week? (Or somewhere in between?) If you listen to most trainers today, you'll probably hear them say it's ideal work each muscle twice per week. However, based on recent research as well as observation of what's working for top bodybuilders, the answer about training frequency may not be so cut and dried. In today's post, Tom Venuto gives a unique and open-minded answer to a reader's question on this topic.

What Is The Perfect Diet Plan For Fat Loss

Tom Venuto2022-11-16T08:30:22-05:00Weight Loss & Fat Loss|

When it comes to fat loss while maintaining or building muscle, is there such a thing as a perfect diet plan? If so, is it possible that the bodybuilding-style diet, which has been around since at least the 1990s and probably long before that is still the best fat loss diet, despite countless other diets being available today? If so, why? If not what are the downsides of bodybuilding diets? If "it depends," what does it depend on?...

Is 10000 Steps A Day A Good Goal?

Tom Venuto2022-09-02T12:37:45-04:00Cardio Training, Health|

You've probably heard that 10000 steps a day is a good goal. It shows that you're active, not sedentary and hitting that number decreases your risk of health problems and an early death. But recently, there's been some skepticism over the 10000 steps target. Some say it's a marketing gimmick for fitness tracker companies. Let's take a closer look, and see what the science says...

How Much Sugar Is Too Much? Detailed Answers From Science, Plus Common Sense

Tom Venuto2022-03-19T14:02:08-04:00Food & Nutrition, Health|

Almost everyone agrees that too much added sugar is not good for our health or our waistlines. Almost everyone also agrees that a little bit of occasional sugar is fairly harmless. Most people would consider those two points common sense. Yet for years, there's been no consensus about what is a little sugar and what is excessive sugar. Fortunately, a close look at the most recent scientific research, combined with a little common sense gives us some pretty solid guidelines, which you can see in this blog post

We need to stop, cancel, end, retire, terminate, and kill dead several diet words and phrases right now and not carry them into one more year. Why? Because it may be hurting people in ways you might not imagine at first until you analyze the meaning and the consequences on our psychology. At the minimum, these words cause confusion

If you asked the average casual exerciser, someone who doesn't lift for a living, or have unlimited free time, but has a tough job or kids or a busy schedule, most would tell you the holidays are like a mine field of temptations, distractions and obstacles blocking their path to a lean and healthy body. I know how many people feel this way because I recently surveyed thousands readers in our Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle Facebook group

The 2/3 Hybrid Split Routine For Building Muscle

Tom Venuto2021-12-09T13:35:30-05:00bodybuilding, Weight Training|

I'd like to introduce a new type of "hybrid" split routine designed for building both muscle and strength at the same time. You'll get a lot stronger on this schedule, but because you don't train heavy every day of the week, it's fairly easy on your joints. It also rotates some of the exercises through the week so you don't get bored, and it uses triple progression so you can keep making gains on the same routine for 12 weeks straight.
