In order to regulate acidity, your pituitary gland will begin to produce and secrete tremendous amounts of GH, which is the single most effective biological compound your body can produce to elicit fat loss and muscle gain. Simply stated, training in a way that produces a lot of lactic acid\u2014and thereby signals immense release of GH\u2014is one of the single most effective ways to trigger simultaneous fat loss and muscle gain, especially if you\u2019re in a caloric deficit of any kind (as you will be on non-workout days). As an added benefit, GH is specifically beneficial in that it can counteract the fat-storing effects of cortisol. You see, GH has an inverse relationship with cortisol\u2014as GH goes up, cortisol goes down. And this combination is what will help you sleep better, provide an overall increase in feelings of wellness, and make it harder for your body to store belly fat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In keeping with that line of thought, lactic acid training can, to some degree, be thought of as inverted tempo training. To that, we lift the weight over a period of four seconds (in most cases) and lower extremely fast in order to allow for nearly constant concentric tension and high levels of lactic acid production. To give an example, if you were doing an overhead press, a single rep would appear like this: \u00a0 Lift the weight over a period of 4 seconds Lower the weight as quickly as possible in good form Immediately begin lifting again.\u00a0 To reiterate, lifting in this way produces a tremendous amount of lactic acid, which in turn forces your body to produce exceptionally high amounts of GH.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
