The Lean Muscle Workout<\/h2>\n

As we mentioned, the lean muscle workout style you need to adopt to lose fat and gain muscle is MRT.<\/p>\n

MRT uses low weight, high reps, and short rest periods to keep the workout as dynamic and metabolically engaging as possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This lean muscle workout will not only build muscle and burn fat, but will also make you more cardiovascularly fit, spark up your metabolism, and increase your testosterone levels.<\/p>\n

This version is a combination workout, where you combine supersets of resistance and cardio exercises into mini circuits.<\/p>\n

The Exercises<\/h3>\n

In order to get the most from this type of lean muscle workout, you should use as many compound, multi-joint exercises as possible for the resistance exercises.<\/p>\n

This will include squats, presses, and rows.<\/strong>\"mountain<\/p>\n

You will perform dynamic cardio, like mountain climbers, burpees, and jumping jacks, for the cardio exercises.<\/p>\n

These will be combined into a resistance\/cardio superset and will be performed at 10 reps for resistance and 30 seconds for cardio.<\/p>\n

The Workout<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Push-ups \u2013 10 reps<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Mountain Climbers \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Repeat for 3 rounds. 30 seconds rest after all 3 rounds are complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Dumbbell Deadlift \u2013 10 reps<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Burpees \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Repeat for 3 rounds. 30 seconds rest after all 3 rounds are complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Renegade rows \u2013 10 reps each arm<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Jumping Jacks \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Repeat for 3 rounds. 30 seconds\u00a0rest after all 3 rounds are complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Reverse lunges \u2013 10 reps for each leg<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Sprint on the spot \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Repeat for 3 rounds. 30 seconds rest after all 3 rounds are complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Kettlebell Swings \u2013 10 reps<\/strong><\/li>\n
          • Squat thrusts \u2013 30 seconds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Repeat for 3 rounds. 30 seconds rest after all 3 rounds are complete.<\/strong><\/p>\n

            As you start to get fitter, you can reduce the rest between supersets down to 25 seconds, then 20 seconds, etc. If you are able to get through the entire workout without rest between supersets, you should increase the weight or number of reps for resistance exercises and the duration of the cardio exercises.<\/p>\n

            It is important to keep your form strong on every exercise and work at a 1-2 seconds concentric phase (lifting the weight) and a 2-3 seconds eccentric phase (lowering the weight).<\/strong> This will make sure that the weight is controlled throughout and that you will not lose your form to the point where you will risk injury.<\/p>\n

            Completing a lean muscle workout like this on three non-consecutive days (Monday\u2013Wednesday\u2013Friday or Tuesday\u2013Thursday\u2013Saturday) and combining it with the right healthy eating plan, will get you right on track to a great body transformation.<\/p>\n
