work together to help pull fat from your body whether the fat wants to go or not.
In many ways, its the training equivalent of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet.
And so, when Joel decided to make this program available, he and I decided that
the ONLY POSSIBLE way to make it MORE effective was to add in the workout
styles from my system.
Initially, Joel asked if he could use some pre-existing workouts that Id had
written. After trying XFLD with a number of our clients (both shared and
respective), we decided to create new ones that fit in even more in effectively.
These two things work synergistically together to make the diet even more
effective, and facilitate the process for the most radical fat loss possible.

because they are a bit beyond the scope of this document, were just not working
with him any longer. Suffice it to say that it had something to do with the Animal
Rights and Lactic Acid workout number 2.
But all of that is neither here nor there.
That is not what were here to discuss. Although he is quite cute.
Were here, of course, to give you an overview of the training methods. Im going
to tell you a little bit about them, how and why they work, and of course how to
perform each specific one. So, without further delay, lets get into it.
Density Training
Speaking of Cheat Days, thats a great segue for a discussion about the training
modality youll be using on those days: Density Training.
Originally developed for hypertrophy (building muscle) density training is the
perfect modality to utilize when you have a caloric surplus on Cheat Days.
Training Density refers to the amount of work you do in a given time frame, or
over the course of your training session. The idea of increasing the density of a
training session is not new, but Ive put my own spin on it to make it more
effective for fat loss as well as muscle gain.
Traditionally, you were able to increase density in one of two ways: either do
more work in the same time period, or do the same amount of work in the same

amount of time.
With the version of density training in XFLD, we take it a step further and have
you do MORE work with MORE weight in the same time before. Thats where
the muscle gain comes in.
To help facilitate fat loss, we set things up with fast paced circuits.
To be more specific, youll have a circuit of 3-5 exercises, each of which is to be
performed for a predetermined period of time.
Instead of having a predetermined number of reps, you're going to be performing
each of these exercises for timeyou simply have to do as many as you can in a
given time period. That's where general density comes in. The idea is to perform
more reps on each exercise, and that's where the increase in density becomes a
factor.
Now, here's where it gets kooky: for your second circuit, you'll be using heavier
weightsubstantially heavier weight. Rather than just create density circuits, I
also took advantage of some other cool things that happen when your body
adapts and seems to get instantly stronger.
Not only are we seeking to increase reps, but also increase weight before we
repeat a given exercise. Again, this is applied to all exercises within a circuit.
Here's an example to illustrate:
Let's say you did each of the following exercises for 30 seconds* each: overhead
press, bent-over row, squat.
we like to call the afterburn effect. That is, youll continue burning calories long
after youre done working outfor up to 36 hours.
That means that performing density training on your Cheat Days will not only
help you build a bit of Lean Body Mass, it will ALSO keep your metabolic rate
elevated during your FAST Day, while youre already in an extreme caloric
deficitits not hard to see how that leads to Xtreme Fat Loss!
Overall, Id say Density Training ranks very high on the Scale of Awesome.
In fact, as a frame reference, Ive provided a Scale of Awesome for those of you
who dont have it.
10 Unbelievably Awesome: Flying cars, time travel, sarcasm

For you guys out there, that means when you make a muscle, it will be harder
and denser to the touch, helping you to impress the girls at the beach (Vince Del
Monte), bar (Jon Benson) or Barnes and Noble (Joel). Ive heard. If youre into
that.
Probably of greater interest is myogenic muscle tone is what we can describe as
residual tension in a resting muscle. Which means, not only will that muscle
FEEL a little firmer without flexing, it will also LOOK firmer.
So, say, for example, youre sitting around randomly on the floor of a gym, not
flexing, and someone decides to snap a photo of you. probably come your
arms will come out pretty nice in that photo if you have a high level of myogenic
muscle tone.

Of course, its not as simple as picking up weights you can barely lift. Not only is
that unsafe, its just not effective. You need to have some sort of plan.
At the same time, the old standby of static sets and reps isnt really ideal,
because if you can lift a heavy weight for the same number of reps on your last
set as your first set, then chances are that weight really wasnt heavy enough to
challenge you on that first set, and youre losing out on some benefit.
So what to do? There is a solution.
In the Heavy Strength Workouts in XFLD, youre going to ignore the sets, and
instead just focus on the total number of reps; as Ive been known to say, let the
sets take care of themselves.
If youre assigned to do 40 each of push-ups, squats, and pull-ups, you just
rotate through the exercises.
Lets say on your first round, you get 13 push-ups, 9 squats, and 8 pull-ups. In
that instance, you have 27 push-ups, 31 squats, and 32 pull-ups to go.
Your next set, you get 13 push-ups, 10 squats, and 8 pull-ups. Now youre got
14 push-ups, 21 squats, and 24 pull-ups left.
Next you bang out 10 push-ups, 10 squats, and 7 pull-ups. So far, youve done 4
sets of each exercise, but youre way ahead on one of them. You now have 4
push-ups, 11 squats, and 17 pull-ups to go.
You do another set, get 4 push-ups, 8 squats, and 9 pull-ups (theres that
neurological efficiency again). Now youre done with push-ups (5 total sets) and

Dynamic Training
This training modality my bread and butter, so to speak. Dynamic Training is my
name for what I assume youll recognize as metabolic circuits or fast-paced
circuits or whatever you want to call that.
While its certainly not a groundbreaking protocol, its incredibly effective.
For my part, Ive put my own spin on circuits when it comes to exercise selection.
You see, I am a huge believing that youre going to get the best fat loss result by
moving your body through as much space as possible as often as possibleso
when it comes to training back, its better to use a pull-up or an inverted row over
a pull down.
Even when it comes to exercises that are traditionally the best exercises like
lunges, there are ways to modify them to make them even better; like using multidirectional training (a 3-way lunge) or even combining a lunge with another
movement like a Romanian deadlift. Its good stuff.
And so the thrust of dynamic training is to move fast, work hard, and get as much
out of each exercise as possibleits using movement to get better at moving.
Outside of being a great fat loss training modality, its also going to help you
increase flexibility, mobility, and endurance.
Youll be performing Dynamic Training on your Moderate Carb Days.
rate going and helps you to burn more calories and fat. The generally low reps of
the strength training are offset by the activity of the Dynamic Interrupt, and the fat
burning workout effect becomes even more profound.
In the case of the Lactic Acid workouts, performing the Dynamic Interrupt is
intended to help clear the lactic acid from the limbs between circuits. Keep in
mind it is not the lactic acid that burns fat, its the lactic acid that encourages the
production of growth hormone, and THAT helps to burn fat.
Clearing lactic acid from the limbs allows you to be more productive on the
subsequent circuit, and have a more effective workout overall.

loss and intensity. I cannot wait to hear about your results.
If you enjoy the workouts in this program, keep in mind they are based on those
