Fat Loss Bundle
12-week gym fat-loss protocol — resistance + cardio progression that preserves muscle.
A 12-week resistance-led cut. Compound lifts hold muscle, conditioning blocks raise daily energy expenditure, and the diet keeps protein high through a controlled deficit.
Training framework
Three phases, twelve weeks.
Prime (Weeks 1-4)
Strength base, modest deficit, baseline conditioning
Strip (Weeks 5-8)
Higher density work, sharper deficit, cardio block
Polish (Weeks 9-12)
Refeed weeks, peak conditioning, definition finish
