Weight Lifting Progress MUST Be Planned... Make A Plan, Stick To It, AND Get Results
by Joshua Tapp
Weight
lifting progress MUST be planned in a
weight lifting program.
There must be some way to increase the amount
of weight you lift or increase the number of reps lifted with a weight
over time.
You need more than a simple statement... "Just increase the weight whenever you can." Instead, you need
to know when to increase the weight and you need a weight training program that HELPS you increase the weight.
If you have no weight lifting progression, you have nothing. You will
not look much different than you did at the start. Why lift weights if
you're not progressing?
Start getting stronger and start building
muscle. You won't find a single person that went from lifting 100 pounds to lifting 500 pounds that
didn't build muscle.
The whole key to progress in weight lifting is building muscle and gaining strength. If you are increasing the weight lifted or increasing the number of reps with a weight, you are gaining strength and most likely building muscle along the way.
What's The Point Of Weight Training?
If a program does not include plans to increase
weight lifted or reps completed on exercises, then the program is no
good!
What's the point of the program if you never progress?
Ditch the
program if there's no progression plan. You want weight lifting
progress? Get you a new program that actually plans for it.
Don't just start lifting weights with no plan. Don't take a weight
lifting routine listed in some magazine or website with a list of
exercises and number of sets and simply do the routine.
Make yourself a
plan for each week and understand how you're going to progress.
Have a plan for when you hit a wall in terms of strength. You will
eventually hit a wall on some of your exercises. Know what to do and
why you're doing it. Plan your weight lifting progress and stay ahead
of the game.
A Plan for Progression
Let me give you a good example if you're not quite
catching what I'm trying to say. Let's say you've just started a
program and you're first exercise of your first workout is the Squat.
The program you've planned out says to do 135 pounds for 6 reps.
Okay.
You put the weight on the bar and pound out 6 easy reps with 135
pounds. Easy. Right? The next workout comes around.
The Squat is your first exercise. Your plan for the next workout says to increase the weight
from 135 pounds to 155 pounds for 8 reps. You increase the weight the following workout and
pound out 8 easy reps.
By the end of 8 weeks or so, you are squatting 315
pounds for 6 reps. So, over the period of 8 weeks you went from
squatting 135 pounds to squatting 315 pounds and you set a new record
for yourself!
That is planned progression! A good
workout program will have a planned weight increase from start to
finish on all exercises.
There may be planned decreases
during the program, but overall the weight will increase.
Do you know what happened to the size of your
thighs as you went from squatting 135 pounds to 315 pounds? If you were
on a muscle building diet, you're thighs may have increased from 23
inches to 25 inches!!!
If you had done those routines that you found in
the magazine you bought at the grocery store, you'd be the same size
that you were when you started. And you will have wasted lots of time
and money in the process.
Built In Tactics That Help You Make Progress
Good programs will have built in tactics to help
you increase the amount of weight lifted. The WLC
System I founded and developed has these tactics built in,
and they work, period.
Different programs will have different tactics
and all tactics are fine
as long as they work!
Beginners will most likely be able to increase the weight lifted from
workout to workout in small amounts. Most of the time, beginners can
increase the weight 5 to 10 pounds on most exercises for several weeks
at a time.
Intermediates should be able to increase the weight lifted for a while,
but eventually, they will need to decrease the weight and give the body
a break.
The WLC System has special recovery techniques built in tactically to
allow intermediate and advanced weight lifters to continue their
progress.
The big difference in intermediate and advanced weight lifters is the
advanced lifters will be happy with smaller strength increases over
time because so much weight is already lifted. An advanced lifter is
closer to his/her maximum strength levels and will have to live with
small strength gains.
No matter what level you are at, you must always be focused on
weightlifting progress. Progression in weightlifting is the only way to
continue on the journey to the body of your dreams.
Will You Reach Your Limits?
Maybe you're asking how do I always progress?
Won't I reach a limit? Everyone has limits, but those that think they
have limits will never reach their true limits.
You're body is amazing
and can do things you never believed it could do. Trust in yourself and
trust in this program I have developed and you will eventually reach
your true limits.
I have built a program that will always allow you
to progress from start to finish. Always progress. Don't stop on that
road...keep going until you reach your goals and then never stop when
you reach them!!!
Most of the time people are fighting an
uphill battle that is too hard for them. This is why so many people
quit!
Well, I am here to turn that battle around and make it
a downhill battle! Head on down the road today. I will be here to help
you along those bumps in the road. Weight Lifting Progress is my
specialty.

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
