Q: I know that the short rests between sets with 4X get your fat burning jacked with growth hormone. How can I use 4X in The Ultimate Fat-to-Muscle Workout for a double-whammy? Where would you suggest I put it, or should I use it at all?
A: The Ultimate Fat-to-Muscle Workout has you train each muscle group only once a week. That’s because you use heavy sets as well as X-centric and high reps for more fiber microtrauma—which encourages fat burning as well as muscle-fiber remodeling…
If you’re younger, you should keep the heavy pyramid on the first big compound exercise. Use the 4X mass method on the contracted exercise to END each bodypart. For example, your lat routine would be…
Midrange: Pulldowns (pyramid), 3 x 9, 7, 4-6; (X-centric) 1 x 8
Stretch: DB pullovers, 1 x 7-9; (X-centric) 1 x 8
Contracted: Stiff-arm pulldowns (4X), 4 x 10
If you’d rather not use heavy training because you’re older or you have joint problems, do 4X on the FIRST exercise…
Midrange: Pulldowns (4X), 3 x 9, 7, 5; (X-centric) 1 x 8
Stretch: DB pullovers, 1 x 7-9; (X-centric) 1 x 8
Contracted: Stiff-arm pulldowns, 2 x 15-20
Notice that you do a 4X sequence on pulldowns, but the fourth set is X-centric, lifting in one second and lowering in six. You will need to reduce the poundage for that last set.
For our new readers who aren’t familiar, 4X is when you pick a weight with which you can get about 15
Make your chosen 4X adjustment for each muscle, and prepare for a significant fat-to-muscle hustle.
