Can You Train For Strength & Still Promote Fat Loss?
Fitness over-arches a number of physical skills we can improve on, including things like stamina, coordination, balance, strength, speed, agility and so on. Each skill has particularly specialised characteristics which can be improved through consistent practice, trial and error; however, when it comes to sports which require you to hit certain weight criteria such as powerlifting and boxing, it’s widely misunderstood how you should go about altering your training in order to drop body fat and maintain/gain strength.
For instance; people may think that a boxer should incorporate more runs into their training regime in order to burn more calories, when instead they could just increase the time they spend sparring which will have the same effect in burning calories and be more beneficial to their sport.
Fundamentally, the way in which you train for a certain skill (which in this case, we’ll be looking at strength) does not have to be changed in order to burn body fat; although, by increasing the intensity it’s possible to burn more calories in a shorter frame of time.
Ways of increasing the intensity of your strength based training could include taking shorter rest periods, or incorporating more working sets.
Training for Strength + Losing Body Fat
As for losing body fat, the method used by people who train for strength is identical to the method used by those who train for hypertrophy, endurance or any other physical skill.
Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) will determine whether or not you burn fat (bearing in mind you have an effective split of macronutrients), so as long as you’re in a caloric deficit you’ll be able to lose fat.
Your training method should not change dramatically when in a deficit of calories, however it’s natural to feel less energised than usual when training due to your body lacking in the usual amount of calories it consumes.
