    You poor bastard. Today it’s legs, cardio, and then more cardio. Dig deep and trust yourmaster to lead you!Back | Main | NextThis week we will be hitting 45-minute cardio on our training days to begin further tapping into our fat stores.

  • Kris Gethin's 4Weeks2 Shred: Day 13 - Active Rest

    Here's what people get wrong about cutting: Eating fewer calories makes getting the right nutrients more important than ever!Here's how Kris handles it.Back | Main | NextOK, we know this program is intense, and are taking in limited calories with a restriction on the variety of foods.

    Why pretend you’re a powerlifter while you’re cutting weight? Join Kris on the machines and bang out more quality reps while your carb stores are low!Back | Main | Next
    Again, I am predominantly choosing machines to focus on the pump and contraction to further focus on isolation of every single muscle group. This is especially important as our carbohydrates, and then glycogen levels reduce, and our cardiovascular duration of exercise increases.Kris Gethin's 4Weeks2Shred Day 15 - Back
