If you want to really attack stubborn bodyfat, you need a HORMONAL approach to fat-loss, not just a “calorie” approach.
Just grinding along burning calories doesn’t always do the trick to unlock those pockets of “sticky” fat. Because if you can’t get the fat out of the fat cells, you can’t burn it.
This method gives you the best of both worlds…
You’re going to do a lot of calorie-burning work (with intensity) AND you’re going to take advantage of your body’s hormonal response to Lactic Acid (i.e. lactate), which is to secrete Growth Hormone….and GH is one of the key fat-burning hormones you’ve got in your body.
I also found this method to be VERY useful for when I’m getting burnt out with heavier or more intense fat-loss workouts. This workout is much less taxing on the nervous system and muscles than many of the conditioning workouts I do.
It’s going to allow you to get a good fat-burning effect without trashing yourself, essentially.
Now, it’s very important to note that when you’re doing Lactic Acid Training, you want to be in a stable or low blood sugar state (fasted state, ideally). If insulin levels are high (as when blood sugar is high), GH response will be blunted and basically ineffective.
This means DO NOT eat 3-4 hours (or more) before your workout. I also suggest not eating any carbs (simple or complex) for at least an hour after as well (protein is fine).
The benefit of using antagonist exercises like this is that you’re continuously generating lactic acid in the same general area of the body, but just in different muscle groups. This allows you build up a lot of lactic acid while maintaining a decent degree of work volume and exercise performance.
And because these exercises are done with such light weight, it won’t crush your recovery.
I’ve found this to be an effective way to “sneak” stubborn fat off your body without having to do gut-busting workouts all the time.
