Does muscle weigh more than fat? No, of course not.

One pound of fat weighs as much as one pound of muscle. But fat takes up more surface area. This is because muscle is denser than fat, just like lead is denser than feathers. So a 50lb block of lead requires far less space than 50lbs of feathers.

This week is a deload for me. I’m training chest and shoulders in this video. So I just got through 8 really brutal weeks of training and my body is fatigued. Now I want to deload so that I’m resensitized for the next 8 weeks of training. I’m going on vacation to Italy in 9 weeks so this is perfect because I can spend this first week training in a conservative fashion (deloading) followed by 8 intense weeks leading up to my vacation, and then I can deload again while I’m in Florence and Tuscany.

When I deload, I do 70% of the volume (the number of sets) that I normally do. I keep my rep scheme consistent with those that I used for the last 8 weeks of training, but the weight that I use is 70% less than I normally would. So if I normally flat press 110lbs, I might only use 75lb dumbbells during my deload.

Here’s what my first deload session looks like.
➡️ 2 warmup sets of flat dumbbell bench press
1️⃣ 3 working sets of flat dumbbell bench press (10 reps)
2️⃣ Incline dumbbell bench press (2×10 reps)
3️⃣ Across-the-body cable lateral raises (3×15 reps)
4️⃣ Seated face pulls (3×15 reps)
*Reminder: These are all done with 70% of the weight I usually use.

My new favorite rear deltoid exercise is one you’ve probably never heard of: across-the-face pulls! It’s a way you can really load the rear delt like with face pulls, but sometimes when I do traditional face pulls I get a little more trapezius than I would like. This exercise, across-the-face pull, is very smooth and I feel all of it in my rear deltoid.

Just make sure you reach the entire time and keep protracted in your scapula. We are specifically targeting your rear delts with this exercises. My intention while performing the exercise is to envision my elbow hitting a person next to me rather than reaching around my body.

Give this exercise a try, who doesn’t need more cap on their shoulders?!

Client spotlight: Fellippe @ninester79 is a coaching client on @getverb who lost approximately 25lbs. I’ve run into him a couple of times at @greenlifeny and only had the pleasure of training with him once in person. Here’s what he had to say:

“I reached out to Jacob after seeing his no-nonsense approach on his Instagram videos, and the fact that he really cares about the results and not about telling people what they want to hear. I wanted to lose a lot of weight and at least get on a path to do it on my own. I looked at some testimonials online and figured I should give him a try.

The biggest habit change Jacob introduced to me was tracking my food. It was the very first thing he asked of me during our intro call, and it’s sobering to see how quickly calories add up during the day.

I really liked having the day to day interaction on text to be able to make the subtle tweaks necessary to get where I needed to go. The difference between doing this yourself versus with someone good isn’t night and day as far as the effort, but just being able to make the right decisions so as not to lose momentum. Also being able to adjust for social outings was something I didn’t know was possible, and he made it easy to do so.

I love Jacob’s directness and ability to be tough when needed, but at the same time he’s also very encouraging and will let you know that you’ve done well. It takes a special kind of temperament to be able to be good at this, and he has that.

For this reason I’ve stuck with him, and also being able to lose 6-8 lbs a month is another! He talked a big game and delivered even bigger, so you have to love that.

Besides being in the best shape in a very long time, I feel like any kind of fitness goal I wish to achieve is achievable now.”
