Often full body workouts will be your best bet when you're looking for intense fat loss because of the fact that they will allow you to workout with the greatest frequency, yet still have plenty of time left over to recover.
Since you are going to have a reduced calorie intake when working towards fat loss, this does mean fewer reserves left over to recover, making it even more important that you are watching the total volume you are doing. If your workout includes a very high number of sets, you are going to struggle to come back as strong with each session.
Designing a full body workout for cutting can be tricky for some people, especially if they are involved in any other types of exercise such as cardio or an outside sport. Since each full body workout will be working every muscle group in the body, you have to watch what form of exercise you will be doing the day after to make sure you're not shorting yourself of the 48 hour recovery period.
Here are three different variations of full body workouts for cutting that you can make use of.
1. Low Volume Compound Workout
The following is essentially a reduced volume workout that targets muscle maintenance without much glycogen depletion.
If you're utilizing a lower carbohydrate cutting diet, this will be the best approach to take since it won't leave your muscles drained. You really must pay attention when doing your workouts to what type of diet you're following as this will have a very large influence on overall program design.
If You're Utilizing A Lower Carbohydrate Cutting Diet, This Will Be The
Best Approach To Take Since It Won't Leave Your Muscles Drained.
For the following set-up, your primary aim is to maintain the previous weight you had been using on the bar so you keep your strength level constant. Make a note that you will not get as large of a 'muscle pump' after this workout since it is in the lower rep range and uses fewer sets. Furthermore, when on a reduced carbohydrate diet it's also expected that you'll experience a decrease in muscle pump, so all factors working together may leave you a little flat.
Apart from the psychological issue of dealing with that, it will have no implication on the effectiveness of the program, so it's not something you really need to worry about anyway.
