WLC Program Frequency
The perfect compromise!

WLC Program Frequency is defined as the number of workouts you will be doing per week while on the WLC program. The WLC Program is a full body workout routine, which means you will be working your entire body every time you workout. Nothing else makes sense to me and when you see the results you get over a few cycles, nothing else will make sense to you either.

People have screwed with what works for many years now and have came up with these split routines in which you work each body part once per week so it has time to fully recover. Then people started adding these beyond failure techniques since they are giving their muscles a week to recover so we might as well beat the hell out of them while we're at it! Your body doesn't work that way. When you beat your body up very badly with these beyond failure techniques, your body needs more than a week to fully recover. Fatigue builds up quickly when you do workouts in that manner, and you overtrain much quicker.

Full body workouts give you the opportunity to work your entire body more frequently. You'll be able to give the muscles in your entire body a chance for growth every time you workout instead of every 3rd or 4th workout. Your muscles need an excuse to grow, and I can't think of a better way than to give them a reason by working them every single time you workout.

When you do fully body routines, you do not want to go to failure on every set of every exercise. You do not need to reach failure to build muscle. All you need to do is increase weight lifted from the beginning of a weight lifting cycle to the end of the weight lifting cycle. Trust me on that! Stop thinking of every single workout as the workout that builds you muscle! Start seeing the bigger picture. Once you understand the big picture, you'll understand why the WLC program is better than all the others out there.

You're going to have a lot of trouble increasing the weight you lift if you go to failure every workout and continue to lift heavy every single workout. You may make it for a while, but eventually it's going to get very tough. You will hit a wall and you will overtrain. Not going to failure allows you to continually increase the weight you lift over a period of time. This is what builds muscle!

I want you to workout 3 days per week with a full day break in between each workout. So, you can choose the days that you like best. Choose a schedule that fits your lifestyle. My favorite is Monday, Wednesday, Friday. I like to change it every once in a while to Monday, Wednesday, Saturday because I like that Friday to be a day that I can go out and have some fun at night if I want. I don't want to worry about my workout that day. It gives me a mental break and having fun always cuts down on the stress.

You're body needs time to rest and recover after one of your workouts. You need to take a full day of rest between each workout, which actually should be 48 hours of full rest. For example, if you workout Monday, do not workout Tuesday, and then workout Wednesday you will have rested approximately 48 hours. During this 48 hours, your body is recovering and growing if you are eating enough calories.

Example of a bad workout schedule is Monday, Tuesday, Friday. Ensure that you have a day of rest between every WLC workout. Example of a good workout schedule is Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.

After your last workout of every week, I want you to take a full two days to recover from the 3 workouts you executed during the week. These two full days will get you ready for the coming week. You'll be recovering and growing during these two days so stick to your WLC diet plan during your days off. I have experimented over the years and the WLC Program Frequency is perfect for building muscle.

There is a WLC program for everyone even the people who have found themselves to have a very busy life. There is always time for exercise, and it should be a priority of yours because your health should be important to you. You can design your WLC Program to have fewer exercises as explained in the Abbreviated WLC Program, but I always want you to keep the same workout frequency of 3 days per week. This is important.

With Abbreviated WLC, you can have a workout that lasts 30 minutes or less. 30 minutes, 3 times per week is not going to make or break your busy life. Make time for your health. You'll be sorry later in life that you didn't make time! The WLC Program Frequency of 3 workouts per week is a decreased amount of work over most weight lifting. Less work and better results.
