If your primary goal is fat loss, this will likely be one of your go-to programs during your periodization.

The incomplete rest method (IRM) is a very efficient way to stimulate your muscles to take up glucose (carbs) and encouraging more fat to be burned as fuel. It has the added benefits of not being very difficult to recover from as it avoids creating muscular damage so that you can train more frequently.

This means that you can train every muscle as often as every 3rd day which allows you to keep your muscles more sensitive to glucose and spend more time burning fat.

Nutritionally, you’ll likely be happy to hear that this program will require you to eat a decent amount of carbohydrates both to fuel training and keep your muscles’ glycogen (stored carbs) full. This will be essential to reaping the full benefits of the program so a low-carb diet is not recommended.

You can also expect great pumps during training and should see visual changes fairly quickly due to the effect of the workouts shifting glucose into your muscle cells and away from body fat.
