PURPOSE:

To compare the impact of heavy-weight strength training vs light-weight strength training on body composition change.

STUDY DESIGN:

• 16 total weeks (2x/week).
• 4-week heavy load (with diet intervention).
• 8-week "washout" (normal DS workouts; no diet intervention).
• 4-week light load (with diet intervention).
• Bod Pod and Strength Testing to measure progress.

SPECIAL STUDY PRICING:

1-on-1 Package - $1855

• 32 $50 1-on-1 Sessions (normally $56)
• 5 $35 Bod Pod Tests (normally $45)
• 4 $20 Strength Tests

Group Package - $1279

• 32 $32 Group Sessions (normally $35)
• 5 $35 Bod Pod Tests (normally $45)
• 4 $20 Strength Tests

TESTING AND TRAINING SCHEDULE:

1. Initial Bod Pod Test
2. Wait 2 Weeks
3. Bod Pod again along with Strength Test
4. Start Intervention #1 (high or low load for 4 weeks with nutrition - You will be randomly assigned to a group)
5. Bod Pod and Strength Test
6. 8 Weeks of 2x/week workouts for "wash-out" (normal training and nutrition) 
7. Bod Pod and Strength Test
8. Start Intervention #2 (high or low load for 4 weeks with nutrition. You will be doing the other load type than intervention #1)
9. Bod Pod Test and Strength Test

IMPORTANT DETAILS:

• All sessions must be performed in the studio. 
• You may start the study as soon as today through May 1st. 
• Throughout the BCC you will be encouraged to reduce your calorific expenditure
  by 20% based on estimates from the bod-pod. You’re also encouraged to use
  MyFitnessPal to track and record your calorific expenditure on a daily basis throughout
  each 4-week BCC. Finally, to maintain muscle mass you’re encouraged to consume
  0.7grams/lb of body weight daily.
