Keeping the fat boy at bay 04 Oct 2009 3:13PM As everyone knows I used to be FAT. Now I’m at the point where I can add some quality mass but still keep relatively lean. However this brings up a couple of problems;

·         I get fat easily due to being fat previously.

·         I HATE cardio. In most shapes and forms, its boring and soul destroying.

That being the way it is I have had to find new ways to keep the fat off while trying to add size that doesn't bore me to the point of loading up an Uzi and killing everyone in the gym. Sooooo I give you Barbell Complexes! This is basically a set of 6-10 excersizes done with a Barbell back to back with zero rest till you have finished the set. These are awesome because of the following;

·         They burn lots of calories (therefore fat) due to EPOC.

·         They are fun

·         They are absolutely brutal

·         They also help increase muscle recovery and size.

·         They are short, leaving time for stretching and foam rolling and in a 20 min window.

Take a look at these, as these are some of my favourites/most hated (in a good way).
