Today TMuscle.com published my first article for them. A timely one too, as it concerns fat loss.
Timed Circtuits: Pace Yourself for Mximum Fat Loss
The idea for the concept came from experimenting with two training protocols: Density circuits, and timed sets of the kind used in kettlebell sport. I've found timed sets done at a set rep per minute pace were quite effective for building conditioning, technique, and of course body composition, so just applied the idea to circuit-style training using other tools.
There has been some research published that shows standard weight training circuits producing a huge caloric expenditure, which means you'll lose alot of fat in a short amount of time. Now, this isn't quite the holy grail as these circuits are pretty damn tough. You've got to have something of a strength base and experience with the exercises to maximize results. But for those who have put some time in the gym give it a try and let me know what you think.
I've got some other variations of this protocol for other specific goals for those interested.

Hi...was wondering how you would structure this into a 12 week progression?
