Sharing videos of his weekly gym workouts, he further wrote, “This 6-day split trains each muscle 2x per week… NOTE: fat loss comes from a calorie deficit, not exercise. These are not ‘fat-burning’ workouts. This split simply worked best for me.”

Monday – push

Justin on how to manage after a cheat day

In another recent video he posted on Instagram, Justin spoke about ‘what you do when you take the cheat day too far’. He wrote, “Nothing. Hop right back on track the next day and forget about it. You can’t ruin your progress with one day of overeating… you’d be surprised to see how much you’d need to eat to gain 1 pound (0.45 kg) of fat. Don’t take any drastic measures to ‘make up’ for the extra calories. This can lead to a cycle of restricting/binging.”

If you are looking for an easy weight loss hack you can do anywhere — which burns 20x more calories than walking — you should know about. Try stair-climbing as a regular exercise — or just adding a few flights a day — as it might help you lose weight. It’s accessible and research shows it’s more effective than walking on level ground. Here’s everything you should know.
