Lose Fat and Get Jacked
Footage from day 2 of our high frequency Aesthetic Muscle training phase, plus every aesthetic muscle meal I ate today…
Today was a ‘lighter’ training session… aiming for 10 to 12 reps on each exercise. Shoulders, biceps, and triceps were included in the workout… and it felt great to give them a little extra attention compared to yesterday’s workout, which was strength focused and hitting just the back, legs, and chest.
This week marks the start of a new Aesthetic Muscle training phase, where we are focused on high frequency. We’ll be hitting chest, back, and legs 5 days per week… direct shoulder and arm work is done 2 days per week.
Today we started our workout with Trap Bar Deadlifts, which I haven’t done in 6 months while I learned how to perform the Conventional Deadlift and Sumo Deadlift technique.
I was exceptionally happy to pull 370lbs, then 390lbs with relative ease. I can’t wait to see how I progress during the next few weeks.

This past week I was putting a client through her first back workout. After performing Seated Rows and Wide Grip Pulldowns with outstanding form and control, she mentioned that she was feeling it more in her biceps and forearms than she was in her back muscles.
This is a common problem… to which I replied, “Instead of trying to pull the weight with your arms, focus on driving your elbows back during the Seated Row and driving the elbows down for the Wide Grip Pulldown. Relax your arms a bit… try not to think of the weight in your hands… and instead pretend there is an imaginary force pushing up against the back of your elbows… now resist that force and push back on it.”

After having a cheat day yesterday, I was back on track today and ended up eating less than planned, simply because I didn’t feel hungry. Did some Farmer Walks and intervals on the recumbent spin bike… see everything I ate today to help build Aesthetic Muscle with chiseled details…
