This is a crucial element of the training if you want to obtain a complete reshape of your body.
Somehow this is the part that almost everyone misses when pursuing a weight-loss goal. Missing
this element is why most weight-loss programmes fail. Remember this: you can lose weight with a
diet, but only weight training can increase your strength and give you the new body you want.
The ability of building muscle can depend on many things but genetics influences greatly the length
of results achieved: somatotype, BMR, number of fat cells, muscle fibre type, limb length, joint size,
digestive differences, food allergies, carbohydrate tolerance all have an impact.
Many people give up before even starting weight training, blaming their genetics on the lack of
results achieved, however bear in mind that genetics is not everything. Most of the factors affecting
body composition are entirely under your control. No matter what your body type or genetic
potential, you can always improve by consistently taking action in all these areas.
The factors you can control are:
What when and how much you eat
What type of exercise you do
How frequently you exercise
How long and hard you exercise
Your overall lifestyle
Who you socialise with and allow to influence you
Your mental attitude
My training methods are based on Crossfit- style training.
Key Features of CrossFit-Style Training:
Functional Movements
Exercises mimic real-life movements—lifting, jumping, pushing, pulling—done in a way that improves strength and mobility for daily life.Constantly Varied
Workouts change frequently to challenge the body in new ways, prevent plateaus, and keep training interesting.High Intensity
Most workouts are performed at a relatively high intensity, pushing participants to work hard in short bursts.Workouts of the Day (WODs)
Daily workouts, often named (e.g., "Fran," "Murph"), with specific goals—time, rounds, reps.Scalability
Movements and workouts can be modified for all fitness levels, from beginners to elite athletes.

3. You should lose all the fat first, then you should start weights training
4. If you lift weights you will get bulky or will look like a bodybuilder
5. Women must train differently than men
