Whether it’s your first time in the gym, or you’re familiar with a shredding program and ready to get consistent, this 14 workout shredding guide will help you navigate and crush your fitness goals! This XEELA shredding guide aims to target specific muscle groups for maximum muscle tear and muscle recovery. At time of workout, the muscle group you choose to shred is solely dependent on your jurisdiction as an athlete. Before and after each shred (and any workout in general), the user of this manual should thoroughly warm up to loosen the desired muscle group(s) to prevent injury. Keep in mind, a single muscle group should never be worked out “back to back”, or at least for a full day after the prior lift, to ensure optimal muscle recovery. During this training phase you should be lifting with moderately heavy weight, but not so heavy that you cannot do 8-12 reps of each exercise. The 8-12 rep range is recommended as the best rep count, to accomplish muscular hypertrophy. This guide is to be utilized over the course of multiple weeks, you may not see progress utilizing each shred once or twice, but over time you will see improvement! CONSUMPTION DURING SHRED High protein diet Protein consumption should be roughly 0.8g-1g of protein per 1lb of body weight. Example If you weigh 170lbs, your protein consumption would be 0.8 x 170 lbs= 136g. This means that somewhere between 136g to 170g of protein should be consumed every day for maximum muscle production. 136g being the minimum amount and 170g being the max. Calorie Deficit Implementing a slight calorie deficit into your diet means lowering your calories and/or burning extra calories through cardio and lifting. For example, if you need 2000 calories to maintain your weight, to lose weight you may need to eat anywhere between 1900-1700 calories. This will create a 100300 calorie deficit, plus burning an extra couple hundred calories via cardio or intense resistance training, in order to lose fat and accomplish your desired shred.
