The Fitness Journal

Weight loss is one of the biggest industries in the world and it seems that everyday a new and “better” method is being sold to the masses. With this overload of generally conflicting information, how is a person expected to know what they should do?

My recommendation would be to read “Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle” by Tom Venuto. Tom has produced a great fat loss book that gives you the information and tools to lose body-fat while maintaining muscle. When I read it, I was surprised with how similar it’s approach is to the one that I take with my clients. It’s all about smart food choices, training, motivation and lifestyle change. One thing I was very pleased with is that weight training is an integral part of the system.

If your after a quick fix, this book is not for you. You won’t find is any 10 day “miracle” weight loss plans. Instead it thoroughly addresses motivation, dietary patterns and exercise with the goal of successful, healthy, permanent fat loss.

As Burn The Fat author Tom Venuto says,…
“Burn the Fat is simple, but it’s not easy.”

Unfortunately the technique displayed in the gym I train at often leaves a lot to be desired. My latest “Do they have any idea of what they are doing?” moment was a bench press I saw the other day. A genetically very shallow chested guy was “dropping” (I wish I could give a more kind description to his eccentric phase) the bar onto his chest, which then sank in about a quarter of his chest depth in order to get the bounce necessary to complete his reps.

The bench is a great compound movement that is often the cornerstone of upper body routines. I am in favour of working it hard and heavy at times but not at the expense of breaking ribs. You can certainly explode off the chest but bouncing to get the concentric phase started is not a great idea.

What do you want from your training? Do you want to get stronger, bigger, faster, leaner? Are you achieving what you want to achieve? If not, you need to change what you are doing. I think that this quote from Anthony Robbins is very appropriate.

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”
