Here's A Weight Lifting Program For Size And Strength
by Joshua Tapp
This is how I designed THE weight lifting program for size and strength...
If you want to build muscle and strength and get a better looking and better performing body, you MUST focus
on increasing the amount of weight you are lifting on every exercise you do.
Many people just blow this FACT off and think "Well, that's what every weight lifting program should do anyway."
Guess what? Most of them don't focus on this... They simply tell you to increase the weight whenever you can.
There's no plan to increase the weight. Just increase it whenever you can. That's not good program design.
You then have people doing the same weight over and over for years at a time and never increasing the weight.
I've seen this happen over and over again. And that's why people look the same year after year.
So please listen up, pay attention, and implement the methods I tell you about today. You'll start seeing more changes
in your body in a few weeks than you have in YEARS.
Secrets Within the WLC Weight Lifting Program Revealed...
If you haven't yet been introduced to the WLC System -- It's a complete muscle building and fat burning system that
combines 7 components including weight training.
The WLC System includes several workout programs. Strength and size phases are implemented so you never reach a plateau and
continue to make gains from start to finish.
Most importantly, though, the weight lifting program is designed to help you increase the weight each and every workout.
I learned many things over the past 10 years of research and experimentation... One very important FACT that I learned
is that you must build more strength to gain more size and build more size to gain more strength.
Make sure you understand that last statement. As a muscle gets larger, it has more potential for greater strength. As a muscle
gets stronger, it has more potential for greater size. Size and strength go hand-in-hand.
So... the WLC System helps you build more strength so you can build muscle size. Then, with your new muscle size you can
build more strength. And so on...
Full Body Workout Programs = More Opportunities
Nothing compares to the results you will get from full body workouts 3 times per week.
Science has proven that the effects from a weight lifting workout are OVER after about 48 hours post workout.
Yet, millions of people are waiting 7 full days to work a muscle group.
If the effects from a workout are over after 48 hours, why not work the muscle again? Some of the people will say that
a muscle is not fully recovered.
Why does a muscle have to be 'fully' recovered before working it again? It doesn't!!! Science has even suggested that
the muscle building process is enhanced by working the muscle before it is fully recovered.
And trust me... my results and thousands upon thousands of other people have had the best success of their life using
full body workouts 3 times per week. I personally went from 155 pounds to 240 pounds body weight (mostly all muscle gain)
over the past several years.
With the WLC System full body workouts, you get over 3 opportunities per week to build muscle and strength compared
to split routines that usually give you only 1 opportunity.
Weight Lifting Program Design of a Muscle Building Cycle
I'm going to give you what I believe to be are the best muscle building exercises for each major muscle group.
I then take these and organize them into a workout program.
- Quadriceps: Squats
- Hamstrings: Romanian Deadlift
- Calves: Standing Calf Raise
- Chest: Bench Press
- Back Width: Pull Ups
- Back Depth: Rows
- Shoulders: Overhead Press
- Biceps: Alternate Curls
- Triceps: Dips
- Forearms: Pinwheel Curls
Any variation of the above exercise is a good exercise. As long as you are increasing the weight on any version
of the above exercises, you will build muscle and strength.
Always choose exercises that use heavy weights. For example, don't choose concentration curls for your biceps with 25 pounds
versus alternate dumbbell curls that use 50 pounds. There's a very important reason for that and is fully discussed within
the WLC System.
You would do the above exercises for each workout during the week. The only thing that changes is the number of reps and
the weight you are using.
You will start out in Week 1 with higher reps and very light weight... for example, 15 reps on each exercise for 1 set only. As you continue
through the workouts, you will raise the weight each workout and decrease the number of reps so you are always increasing the weight.
You would start a muscle building cycle with 15 reps and very light weights and end a cycle with very heavy weights and low reps (3 to5 reps).
This strategy is employed within the WLC System and is great for building muscle. It works because you are starting with light weights,
increasing the weight each workout, and ending with heavy weights. Your body sees the frequent increase in weight and the muscle building trigger
is set.
With a muscle building cycle, weight is very light in the beginning, weight increases from workout to workout are large, and
the finishing weight is very heavy. Increases in size are mind boggling as long as you are eating well. You control your results
with your meal plans.
Weight Lifting Program Design of a Strength Building Cycle
The best strength building exercises are the big compound weightlifitng exercises. Here's a great list of the best strength
building exercises:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench Press
- Overhead Press
- Pendlay Rows
- Pull Ups
- Dips
A strength building cycle is also going to include 3 workouts per week... full body because the exercises above use the
entire body. There's going to be less focus on individual muscle groups and more focus on the body working as a single unit
to complete a lift.
You will do more sets and fewer exercises in a strength building cycle. I only like to do about 4 exercises each workout
for multiple sets... say anywhere from 3 to 5 sets for each exercise. Squats, Bench Press, Rows, Dips one workout and Squats,
Overhead Press, Deadlifts, and Pull Ups the next workout.
You will start with heavier weight than the muscle building cycle and increase the weight by smaller amounts since you
are starting with heavier weights. The intensity is higher throughout the strength building cycle because you are using
heavier weights throughout the earlier weeks.
Reps stay low (5 or less) throughout the strength building cycle.
For example, with Squats on the muscle building cycle you could start out with 95 pounds for 15 reps and finish with 305
pounds for 5 reps with weight increases of 10 pounds each workout.
In a strength building cycle, you might start with 185 pounds for 5 reps and finish with 305 pounds for 5 reps with weight
increases of 2.5 to 5 pounds each workout. See the difference? Smaller weight increases, more sets, fewer exercises for strength
building cycles.
Everything is explained and sorted out for you within the WLC System. You know exactly what to do each workout.
Alternate Muscle Building and Strength Building Cycles...
Each weight lifting program phase will last as long as you are increasing the weight and making strength gains. Once you have trouble making
strength gains, you are required to take a 1 week break from any weight training.
This is done for strategic purposes. You allow your muscles to become unaccustomed to any weight load during your break.
As long as you eat well, you will keep your gains in size and strength will come back fast. As your muscles fully recover,
they may even grow and probably will while you complete your break from lifting.
You can then start the next cycle with light weights again and still receive gains because your muscles are not accustomed
to the weight load.
So, the WLC System teaches you to alternate between muscle building and strength building cycles with a required break
between each cycle. This is THE best way to make continuous progress... just one of the reasons the WLC System is THE most
powerful weight lifting program in existence.

Totally Blown Away by the WLC System...
Hi Josh,
Greetings from Australia, mate. I received your WLC Program recently and
have only just got to emailing you (reason being I took quite a while
exploring the entire package!!!).
I have to admit that over the past years
I've purchased many programs via the internet and I can say with complete
honesty that I have *never, ever*, had the pleasure of receiving one such as
yours!!!
I was totally blown away by everything, from the log books, the
big beefy manual, right on through to all those fantastic calculators! It
comes through that you really put your all into the package. I've seen all
those programs which claim to 'lay it all out for you ... paint by numbers
... take you step-by-step', etc.but only one is deserving of these claims
... and it's yours.
I especially found the goal setting information to be
very, very comprehensive and so well laid out. I've read goal setting
books, articles, websites, etc. but never really applied any of it to my
endeavours in the gym.
Your system will have me going after my dream body
with a vengeance, as I will be commencing the program this coming Monday.
In previous years I was a chronic "routine/program hopper"; I'd spot yet
another new system I thought I would follow and away I'd go ... for about 3
weeks if I was lucky!
Despite all that, during some years I'd build a
little muscle, lose a little fat and start looking reasonable, then slack
off. I have a well equipped home gym which includes everything you
recommend.
I have always been good with my meal choices but the bottom line
is I was never consistent with anything!!!!
I have a very strong feeling
all that is about to end - pronto! I'm really looking forward to starting
the program Monday 30th August, and totally looking forward to some *real
results at last*.
Oh, by the way I am 56 years old and my long-term goal is
to have an awesome physique at 60 in comparison to the average one I had at
30.
Thank you once again for putting out such a terrific and very
complete program - I will not have any hesitation in recommending it to
everyone I know.
Cheers,
Gary McDonald
