To get in shape, burn fat, and build muscle, you have to "feel the burn." This means doing lots of reps and cutting your rest between sets very short so you feel your muscles ache. This approach has its value, but it's lacking in one key area—it will never get you strong. Instead, follow this program for the next six weeks: You'll break all your records on lifts and add slabs of muscle, and you'll do it, mostly, with sets of only one rep. It may not sound like much work, but heavy training is exhausting, just in a different way from the higher-volume pump training you're probably accustomed to. Doing sets of one rep won't cause the burning you feel doing 8–12 reps on curls, but it will take your full concentration. Still, because the sets are short and you need to rest fully between them to recover, it's a relatively comfortable and fun way to train, and the satisfaction you'll get from seeing your lifts improve dramatically over time will be a powerful motivator to keep going.
