subject: Best Way To Lose Weight Fast #3 Learn From This Mr. America [print this page] Back in the mid 60s there was a guy winning bodybuilding competitions including Mr. Universe and Mr. America by the name of Bob Gajda. Gajdas wins were very highly impressive because of his unique style of circuit training.
See, while other guys were doing marathon workouts of countless sets of countless exercises (think the kinda routines you might see in the Arnolds Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding), Gajda was doing something he called PHA.
I know, I know what does this have to do with you trying to find the best way to lose weight fast? Ill get to that promise. Just stick with me for a minute
Basically, PHA was a form of circuit training he had developed that allowed him to not only train his muscles (getting stronger, more powerful, and more muscular), but train his heart and lungs (developing good cardio) at the same time. This allowed Gajda to build muscle, burn calories, lose weight and bodyfat, and have a lean, strong, and muscular physique all at once.
Some of the principles of Gajdas workouts included:
-pairing up exercises that went from one end of the body to the other (forcing the heart to work harder constantly pumping blood back and forth across the body)
-working new sets of muscles while other sets of muscles rested (but the body is still working)
-using little equipment in the workouts, so as to make sure that there was as little rest as possible between exercises
After experimenting with and using his PHA routines extensively, Gajda found a number of amazing benefits. He found that not only was he able to building a Mr. America-winning physique, but that he was able be in great condition and have great cardio all without ever actually doing cardio training, and he even found that he was actually *stronger* doing his PHA workouts than normal straight-set programs.
For example, I once remember reading that if he did 5 sets of Dumbbell Curls in a row, hed have to use dumbbells that were at least 20 pounds lighter (each!) than he would have to use if he were doing Dumbbell Curls as a part of his PHA circuit training!!
Now what if you wanted to take something like PHA which Im sure you can see is really the best way to lose weight fast, and step it up a notch? You know take all the best things about PHA, and then make it all just a *tad* bit better:
-only needs dumbbells, a medicine ball, and a little bit of space to do your workouts (so you could do them anywhere you wanted)
-use athletic lifts (to ensure you not only build a lot of muscle, but also get stronger and more explosive)
-utilize plenty of bodyweight calisthenics (so youre good at moving your body not just weights)
-plenty of compound movements (remember have a strong heart and lungs without ever having to do cardio)
-uses a thought-out and planned progression (dont get thrown into the deep end of the poolbuild your way up)
-have workouts that make you do enough work to burn plenty of calories (thus making you lose weight)
