Clarence Bass lined the outcomes of a meta-analysis of many research on the advantages of power coaching for weight reduction in his column this month [1]. Not surprisingly, it helps. In my view, far and away probably the most important impact is that it preserves and even provides to your lean muscle mass whereas reducing weight.

That is essential for stopping the “yo-yo” impact of reducing weight but in addition dropping muscle mass, which may gradual your metabolism and set you up for weight regain.
