You MUST Focus Your Weight Training Efforts On Building Strength
by Joshua Tapp
Building strength is a must if you are going to continue your muscle
building efforts.
This page will explain why strength gains are very important if you
want to get that body you've always dreamed about having. Too many
people use weight lifting as a way to burn calories.
If you have been lifting weights to burn calories, you are totally
missing the point of weight lifting.
What Is The Purpose Of Weight Lifting?
Your goal in weight lifting should be to get stronger and build muscle.
In order to build muscle, you need to increase strength. And in order
to increase strength, you need larger muscle size. So, building muscle
and building strength go hand in hand.
If you want to build muscle for a better looking body, you should focus
on building strength in the muscle building rep ranges.
I like to define the muscle building rep ranges as approximately 5 to 12 reps,
but science has proven that even lower reps and higher reps will build
muscle.
The most important factor for building muscle is providing your muscle
with enough weight and reps to signal the muscle building process.
Do not lift weights to burn calories.
When you go to the gym, you
should always focus on progression. No progress in weight lifting is
the reason so many people stay the same and get no results.
Focus on progression when you hit the gym, and you will get results.
You need to have a plan of progression when you go to the gym. That's
why I always suggest you have a weight lifting log book.
You should always keep track of the weight and reps you lift and focus
on lifting more in your next workout.
Strength Increases Provide You With A Sign
When you build strength, you ensure yourself that
you are doing the right things in the gym and outside the gym.
Building strength means you are making progress.
You will see great results in
your body composition if you are eating right. Your diet is crucial to
your results.
You can make great strength gains with a horrible diet very high in
calories, but you won't see your body composition improve much. You
will build lots of muscle, but you'll add lots of unwanted fat too.
So, build yourself a healthy diet plan, and focus on gaining strength in
the gym.
When you get to the point that you are having trouble progressing in
strength, you'll need to use your weight lifting experience to tell you
what you need to do. If you don't have the epxerience, I'm here to help.
Sometimes your problem may be lack of sleep, bad diet, too much volume,
frequency of weight lifting is too high, etc.
If you stick to the plan
here at Weight Lifting Complete, you will soon learn how to control
your progress and continue progress throughout the weeks, months, and
years.

the WLC
System.
Monitor Your Weight Lifting Program
You should be monitoring all aspects of your
weight lifting program from water intake and sleep all the way down to
strength gains and calories burned during your cardio sessions.
If you keep track of all of these aspects of your program, you'll be
able to make small changes to your program each week to continue the
progress.
Keeping track of everything may seem like too much at first, but once
you get everything organized it will be very easy to do.
Keep a log on your computer, and you'll be able to track your strength gains along
with everything else. Imagine the nice graphs you can build showing
your progress over the months.
Before long, you will be a muscle building and strength building expert.
Building Strength = Building Muscle
Strength gains will lead to muscle gains. Add in
the correct diet
and the correct weight lifting program for building muscle, and you
have everything you need to build a great looking body once and for all.
Focus on strength gains in the gym. Use your diet and cardio to control
weight gain and weight loss. Simple, right?

Amazing Results by Chris...
"We went to dinner last night with our friends and they
noticed how good I was looking..."
"Anyway, right away in January I starting going to the gym and lifting weights. I loved it right from the
beginning. There is something inside me that just comes alive - tough to describe..."
"Finally, by pure luck I came across your program in
like February/March when doing a Google search on "best
weightlifting programs". It passed my common sense
test with flying colors.
Add to that what an amazing
and helpful guy you are and it's been a recipe for
success. I'm almost 40 now and on just one beginner
program of WLC, I am the strongest, fittest and healthiest I
have EVER been. I look in the mirror and I see a
difference.
It's definitely NOT what I want to
eventually look at but it 10X better than at the peak of my
ultramarathon training."
"... So I tell my friends at dinner last night that the
best part is I am really NEVER hungry... that I eat 6 times a
day.... that I went from no pull-ups to 7 in 2.5
months... that my energy levels are through the roof... that
sleep issues are no longer a problem... and I NEVER even
think to tell them how much I weigh because it's really not
my focus. AMAZING!!!"
"... To be reading this program and KNOW the
answers are right there is so nice. Nice is actually a
terrible word. REFRESHING, HOPEFUL, PROMISING.
These still do not do it justice. I am not a writer so
it's difficult for me to put it into words.
Anyway, I know this got long-winded but I wanted to
tell you my story. I wish I had taken some starting
pictures back in March but I will when I start my next phase
in June. Thanks again Josh. Really man, I can't
thank you enough for pouring your heart into this program."
