Get Shredded Workout Routine - 8 Week Plan

Before we get to the workout though, here's some important points to keep in mind:

Lift Heavy

The days of going super high reps for ultra-light weight are gone. You're shedding fat here, not muscle. To keep your muscle while eating at a deficit, you have to lift heavy weights.

Nutrition Clean Up

By "cleaning up" your diet, we're talking about focusing on whole foods - lean meats, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

Bulking season is over, so that means curbing the daily cheats to help get in excess calories. We're in deficit mode now, which means each and every calorie needs to count -- there's no room to waste on poor quality foods.

Track Everything

Compounding on the two points above, you have to track everything -- weights used on working sets, number of reps accomplished each set, how much and what you're eating each day.

If you're not monitoring what you're doing in the gym and in the kitchen, you have no idea if you're progressing with your training, stalling, under/overeating, or anything else. To truly succeed and make the most of these next 8 weeks, you have to buckle down and track everything.

Commit

Cutting fat does not require higher learning, you need to tightly monitor your diet and train your ass off.

This isn't easy by any means, and that's where the last point comes in - commitment.

There's going to be times when you want a drink with the gang after work or some cake with your co-workers during an office party. Sure you can do that, but it will hinder your progress in the long term

Commit to your goal and pursue it with relentless, reckless abandon.

5 Day Workout Program Outline

• Day 1 - Lower Body A
• Day 2 - Upper Body A
• Day 3 - Lower Body B
• Day 4 - Upper Body A
• Day 5 - Bodyweight conditioning

Each workout for Days 1-4 will consist primarily of supersets - that is performing two exercises back to back with as little rest as possible between the two, then resting for 60 to 90 seconds.

This accomplishes two things: you'll get a tremendous amount of work accomplished in less time and your heart rate will stay elevated, helping increase the number of calories burned and burning more fat while still maintaining muscle.

Day 5 is a bodyweight conditioning day to give your body a break from the heavy lifting, but still ramp up the intensity to continue chiseling away at the flab covering your muscles.
