Thanks again to everyone who watched and sent in questions for the discussion Gymchat 241 – Advanced Fat Loss : Losing the Last 10lb [with Online Fitness Coach Vic Magary, joined by Personal Trainer (and Strength Athlete) Josh Hewett] – much appreciated. If you haven’t seen it yet (or simply want to go over a particular point again), here’s the entire video.


It was a great discussion. Josh and Vic discussed Vic’s fitness background, the relationship between the ‘get rid of the last 10lb‘ approach and beginning fat loss for the first time, Vic’s three tiers of fat loss, how far can you push fat loss – when does it go from functional to purely aesthetic, performance objectives and lifestyle goals, time taken to ‘lose the last 10lb‘, measurement of body fat, tracking your diet, Intermittent Fasting, skipping breakfast, training in a fasted state, timing of post-workout meals; and a whole lot more. If you’re ready to Get Serious About Fat Loss, make sure you watch this one.

As much as I love training with free weights (and the occasional machine, for specific things) I'm partial to the occasional dose of bodyweight goodness. Particularly when travelling.
