Widely known as trainer to the stars, Michael often calls upon Aussie Bodies support in finding high quality products to accompany his training programs. He reports on the changing physique of his client and long-term mate. "Hugh's weight has actually dropped over 4 kilograms since we began training for Wolverine. However we use a body scanning machine that has proven we have only lost .3 of a kilogram of muscle through that weight loss period so it is predominantly body fat that has gone. Initially we concentrated on building muscle and there was a significant increase in muscle mass so we're happy with the results".

I do an hour and a half a day in the gym and eat a thousand calories more a day than I would normally.

Lots of heavy iron: bench-press variations, barbell lunges, light squats, and leg presses, among other staples. "I'd change it up every 3 weeks," he says. "Three weeks heavy with lots of rest between sets. Then change to lighter weight, slower reps, four count up, four count down. Then mix in fast, explosive lifting, always changing the workout."

"When I have 315 pounds above me, there's that little breaking point," he says. "You either get really pissed off at that weight, or you ask for help from your spotter. It's that exact point -- and every guy reading this article will recognize it -- when Wolverine gets not just pissed off, but insanely pissed off. I try to reach that point every day in my workout. And then push through it."

What if you do only aerobics or only weight training?
A:   You will get results, to an extent. But if you incorporate both those types of training you will get better results. If you are only doing cardiovascular training, that's good, but it's not going to increase your metabolism as much as strength training will do.

When you do strength training — for anyone wanting to lose weight — i.e., by doing a workout with weights, you are not only going to burn fat during the workout, but you will increase your post-workout metabolism; for about three hours afterward your body is still burning fuel and calories. Which is a huge benefit over what cardiovascular training will do: when you are done doing the exercise, your calorie burning is also done.
