BRENTS 8-WEEK
HOME WORKOUT
Reduce body fat, build lean muscle and get the body you want in less than two months by
following the successful transformation plan devised by Original Bootcamp founder Chief.

A key factor in Brents rapid transformation is what


Chief describes as Metabolic Disruption (Met/Dis).
At least two out of three Original Bootcamp workouts
incorporate activities that combine moderate to heavy
resistance training and high-intensity cardio training, Chief
says. Not only does this improve muscularity, strength and
cardiovascular performance, but it also promotes whats
known as EPOC or excess post-oxygen consumption. By
increasing the amount of oxygen required to recover from
training you will burn more calories.
If a guy does a low to moderate intensity cardio workout,
it wont be long before his metabolism has returned to normal.
After a Met/Dis session, the body can literally take hours to
recover, which means you are still burning additional calories
all day at work.
Over the following pages are three workouts designed by Chief
which will help to build a strong and athletic physique like Brents.
MET/ DI S COMPL EXES: A training complex consists of
several exercises or movements strung together to form a
single routine. With any complex, the goal is to move between
exercises with minimal adjustment or delay. For this reason
complexes should flow from start to finish.
