Ep. 501 | Maximize Fat Loss, Minimize Soreness: Total Body or Split Routine for Fat Loss?


In this episode of The BluePrint, I dive into a recent study that challenges conventional wisdom about resistance training for fat loss. Is a full-body workout really more effective than the classic split routine? I break down the research and share practical insights you can apply to your fitness regimen.

  • The unexpected connection between workout type and muscle soreness

  • Why training frequency matters for fat loss and overall fitness

  • How to structure your workouts for optimal fat-burning results

  • The role of exercise volume in driving fat loss

I explore the study's findings on energy expenditure, muscle soreness, and training volume, and discuss how these factors contribute to fat loss. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast or just starting your weight loss journey, this episode offers valuable insights to help you optimize your workout routine for maximum fat-burning potential.
