More Fat Loss. Less Time. The Tri-Sets Method.

Ask any person what the best training method to lose fat is and there’s a 9 out of 10 chance they’ll default to aerobic training.

The problem is, every training method works until is doesn’t.

Fat loss training is energy systems training.

To create energy, our bodies utilize 3 primary energy systems: ATP/CP, lactic acid, and the aerobic system.

In our experience, the lactic acid energy system is by and far the least understood and utilized energy system when it comes to fat loss.

Training in this manner is challenging but ultimately, result producing.

In the real world, lactic acid training works. The best example is 400m - 800m sprinters. Observe their body fat of these athletes. They become exceptionally lean in an event lasting less than 2 minutes.

Let’s take a look at an intermediate lactic acid based fat loss training method: tri-sets.

Here’s what the set involved:

A1. Front Squats 4 x 6 4010 10s

A2. Back Squats 4 x 8 3010 10s

A3. Hack Squats 4 x 10 2010 180s


By placing about 90 seconds of time under tension for one muscle group - the quadriceps - a significant amount of lactic acid is generated. After this set, 3 minutes of rest is given - close to full recovery. This allows for a higher intensity to be used each set, leading to greater lactic acid generation.

At the end of the day, many try to solve the fat loss problem by doing more and more aerobic work. That strategy can work up until a point. But the majority of us are limited in time and will power.

Lactic acid training is a method that proves quality can trump quantity.
