I read over a couple of the stickies and saw that High Density Training is the best method for losing fat while also retaining muscle.
I think I understand it but I'll say it here so that if I'm wrong someone can hoepfully correct me.
High Density Training (HDT):
Day 1: do normal sets and reps with usual rest time in between sets
Day 2: do normal sets and reps but decrease rest time in between sets
Day 3, 4, 5 etc: same thing as day 2
Is this correct or am i supposed to decrease rest time after each set? Also, do I start off with my maximum load or build up to my maximum?
Also is it possible to do HDT with strictly body weight exercises (pull-ups, push-ups, squats) with weights involved (such as weight vest or a heavy backpack)
If possible, could anyone be kind enough to list a weekly workout regime with reps/sets/rest time (weights and bodyweight). Would be greatly appreciated!
thanks
