GBC is a training method devised by well regarded international trainer Charles Poliquin. He has based this training method on research done by the Romanian exercise scientist Hala Rambie. The goal of the GBC program is to produce as much lactic acid as possible. This is achieved by using multi-joint exercises with short rest intervals and super-setting a lower body exercise with an upper body one.
Rambie discovered that the lactic acid pathway* is far better for fat loss than the commonly accepted aerobic pathway and that high blood lactic levels decrease blood pH levels, which in turn sends a message to the brain to accelerate its production of growth hormone. Higher growth hormone levels increase fat loss!**
Here is my work-out from this morning for you to have a go at...
* Lactic acid plays a critical role in generating energy during your work-out. It is a by-product of the muscles using carbohydrates to create energy for exercise. Lactic acid then breaks down into hydrogen ions and lactate, and it's the hydrogen ions that cause the pain you feel in your muscles during a working set. During this process your cells make ATP {adenosine triphosphate} which provides energy for most of the chemical reactions in the body.
** The increase of lactate acid and hydrogen ions results in improved growth hormone secretion; the hormone needed to stimulate growth, cell reproduction and re-generation which results in our body using a greater deal of energy {calories} post work-out.
