WLC Supplements Plan
Which weightlifting supplements will you use?
Your WLC Supplements Plan
should consist of the supplements you will be taking over the course of
a WLC cycle. A weight lifting cycle for WLC lasts 12 weeks. So, be
prepared to have a 12 week supply of your supplements!
If you do not plan on taking any
supplements, then you don't have to go thru this section of your weight lifting
schedule and planning. You can do very well without any weightlifting supplements at all, so
it's your choice.
I
use supplements mainly for convenience, but some of them do have their
benefits. If you're not sure, try a weight lifting cycle without any
supplements. You can add them any time you'd like.
Take Supplements for Your Goal
You should focus your supplements towards
the goals you have in mind for your weight lifting cycle. You should
have already set your goal for your upcoming cycle. Muscle building or
Fat Loss? Make sure the supplements you choose fit your goal.
For
example, there is no reason at all to take one of those so-called fat
burning supplements if you are trying to build muscle. Don't sabotage
your gains by using a supplement that burns calories. I don't trust in
fat burners anyway, so don't waste your money in the first place.
Do not expect magical things to happen from any weightlifting supplement. For
example, the goals I have for my supplements are to provide convenience, allow
me to meet my daily protein requirements, increase vitamin and mineral intake,
increase good fat intake, increase antioxidant intake, and more. Do you see the
difference?
I don't set a goal for a supplement to build me 10 pounds of
muscle! It's not going to happen. Do you know what builds you 10 pounds of
muscle? Progressive weight lifting, lots of good food, sufficient rest, and
time!
An Example WLC Supplements Plan
So, design your supplement plan to meet realistic goals. To better help you
understand what a supplement plan looks like, I've provided an example below:
Included in whey protein as an additive to a
custom mix. Taken with each and every scoop of whey protein. Taken at least 6
times per day. Provide all the needed vitamins and minerals for building muscle.
Used for convenience in the morning and at work. A
fast source of protein that helps raise the daily protein intake. Provides a
quick meal that can be combined with good carb sources and/or fat sources. At
least 6 scoops of whey protein per day. Take post workout for fast acting protein and faster recovery from workouts.
Provides increased antioxidant intake that prevents
illness. Drink throughout the day in water bottle. Increased fat burning effects. Main purpose is to prevent sickness.
Used at least 3 times per day in protein shakes for
convenience and good sources of fat. Provides an easy way to add calories to WLC
diet. Healthy sources of fat. Include Fish Oil, Udo's Choice Oil, Olive Oil, MCT Oil, and Cocunut Oil.
You can continue with as many supplements as needed. If you really want to
test the effectiveness of a supplement, you should only add one at a time to
your WLC weight lifting cycle. Test it for the duration of the cycle and you'll
know what it does for you. Make sure you have enough of the supplement on hand
to last you for the entire cycle. A few easy calculations should help you with
that.
You'll
want to include all weightlifting supplement intake in your WLC Daily
Schedule. Plan when you are going to take them and how much you are
going to take. If you don't plan this, you will most likely forget to
take your supplements. Your WLC Supplements plan should be printed and
left in your kitchen!
