Table of Contents » POLIQUIN GROUPTM The German Body Comp Program approached weight loss entirely from the point of view that aerobics are not necessary to lose fat and still enjoy maximum cardiovascular health. It was first introduced to the mainstream fitness community in a mainstream magazine article published in 1994, a book called Manly Weight Loss published in 1998, followed by the German Body Comp Program published in 2006. Gleaned from research from a top German exercise scientist, German Body Comp (GBC) workouts use only resistance training for weight loss. Key to this program is increasing the body's ability to produce growth hormone for maximal fat loss. The result is a program that will help you build strength and muscle while burning maximum fat for a cut, lean look. The major difference between this book and the 2006 version is it contains the original German Body Comp workouts published in 1998 (now out of print). The workouts published in 2006 GBC book are effective, but there has been considerable interest in seeing the original published workouts that started it all. And with good reason. It's a fact that millions of people are overweight or obese, and it's also a fact that a lot of people who need to lose weight don't like aerobics. But if someone is struggling with excess bodyfat and doesn't want to do aerobics, where do they turn? The answer is not to be found in your gym's "cardio area," but on the other side of the gym where you'll find the barbells, dumbbells, and squat racks. You may be surprised and skeptical at this revelation, but you can use weight training to lose weight. That's what this program is about. Everyone knows you can lose weight with aerobic exercise, but the German Body Comp (short for body composition) program is about weight loss without aerobics. Sure, if you love aerobic exercise you can go ahead and include some cardio it in your program, but we'll show you how GBC works using no aerobic exercise at all and can help you achieve your goals faster!

One of the obvious advantages is that circuit training protocols enable you to perform more work in less time, which is especially valuable for those who have limited training time.
