Thanks for the tag, @simo74!
@jdm135 - I superset assistance, I use short rest periods, I run circuits, I do tabata X, I do hard conditioning, I do easy conditioning, … Sometimes all in the same day! And it adds up, no doubt.
But I’ve already suggested that a 180 in training modality, even for just a relatively short time, might ignite the fat loss without requiring living in the gym or imposing hours and hours of mindless cardio.
For me, conditioning is about work capacity. That’s typically what I’m after when I: superset assistance, use short rest periods, run circuits, do tabata X, do hard conditioning, do easy conditioning, … I’m targeting my work capacity.
For fat loss, I’ve found I need something different. A different stimulus, a different challenge, a different threat. For example, I got my leanest—ever!—doing 14K swings in 12 days while falling into a 16/8 IF eating pattern back in October. I “followed” the 10K Swing Challenge protocol for the workouts—so swing/press, swing/dip, swing/squat, swing/chin, swing-only, repeat—but I did two 600 swings workouts per day, for a little over an hour’s worth of daily training.
So beyond the suggestions by @simo74 and @T3hPwnisher, I’ll just reiterate: Consider smashing your body with something entirely different, even for just a little while. Maybe it’ll work for you as well as it has for me!
