Train in Layers, Technique to Prepare for Photo Shoots and Contests

An effective way to get shredded for a shoot or for the beach is to train in multiple layers of clothers. This is a technique that I use that several of my friends who have a background in amatuer wrestling have taught me. When training in layers, you will sweat more therefore you will be burning more calories and that means increasing the amount of pounds you lose.

The drawback for me and most people is that most of these pounds come from water weight, fluid loss. So two hours later once you've eaten and drank a couple bottles of water. You may have put the weight back on. This technique should be done within two-four weeks out of your photo shoot or competition to drain any unwanted water pounds. To perform this long term in my experiences can be counterproductive. Everyone's body is different so if you feel this is also helping in general overall fat loss to get into competiton shape.

Overrall, I stick to foods that either have no sodium, or are sodium free. Foods that are high in sodium and carbohydrates will cause you to reatin water and look bloated even if you you're body fat is low. I, personally, have a vinal suit which I purchased at Modell's that I use to do cardio in and typically I would wear that, cold gear underarmor, a sweat shirt, and two layers of sweat pants, and two layers of socks. I do this when I perform my cardio routine at 4:30 am. This way not only do I burn the most fat, but I also get those water pounds out as well.

Be very careful with using this layerd technique because it can cause hypothermia and heat extreme heat exhaustion. I do not reccomend this for beginners or for more than a four week span of use. If you are going to try this my suggestion is to start out in 2 layers and see how you feel, before you go to three or even four in some extreme cases. The one thing I will say though if this technique is performed safely and effectively you will SHREDDED!!!!
