WLC Program Intensity
Muscle Building at its finest!

WLC Program Intensity is the part of the program where you're going to really have to put on your game face. Intensity is where we will be going above and beyond the weight that you have lifted in previous weight lifting cycles. We will be building some serious muscle in the Intensity phase of the WLC Program.


What is WLC Program Intensity?

Intensity is a component of the weight lifting program in which you will be going beyond anything you've ever lifted before. Intensity phases will last a week at a time so that we don't overdo it and end up overtraining. To ensure we don't overtrain, a Recovery week is completed after the Intensity weeks.

There will be 3 workouts during each Intensity Week and 3 Intensity weeks in each WLC cycle. The Intensity weeks will be in week 5, week 7, and week 9. We will match your current rep maxes in the second workout of the week, and we will go beyond your rep maxes in the last workout of the week to establish your new rep maxes. Only 1 set for each exercise will be done during Intensity Weeks.


Gaining Strength in Rep Ranges

The goal of the Intensity phase is to allow you to gain strength, which builds muscle while in the muscle building rep ranges of 6 to 10 reps. The layout of the WLC Program allows you to gain strength easily, and the layout is a proven method for gaining strength. You get stronger in these rep ranges, eat right, and you will gain muscle.

Follow WLC.
Get Stronger.
Build Muscle.

Concentrate throughout the WLC Program, but realize that these Intensity weeks will be tough. Get ready to go to war with the weights. You will beat your previous rep maxes on all exercises, and you will build muscle.
