Weight Lifting
Weight lifting is one of my favorite things ever. It's more fun than any sport I have ever played except baseball. I sure do love my baseball. I hope you enjoy weight lifting as much as I, and I think you will once you see the results you'll get with the WLC System.

Please make sure you learn how to do all the weight lifting exercises properly. Even if you are an experienced weight lifter, it never hurts to learn more and to achieve even better technique on all weight lifting exercises. Work on that and work on the mental aspect of weight lifting. Don't let your mind stop you from quitting too early on exercises. This is a big mistake that many people make. But you also know when you need to stop to prevent injury as well.
Diet and Nutrition
Wow! Food is much more important than most of us believe. I have learned that over and over throughout my life. You do not need any junk food in your life. Junk food makes you feel worse, takes energy, increases body fat, hurts your health, and takes precious nutrients away from your body that could be used for more important things.
– True purpose of food
– Most important nutrient in your body
– What not to drink
– Everything about protein
– Everything about carbohydrates
– Everything about fat
– Law of energy balance
– How to count calories
– Temporary weight loss
– Macronutrient manipulation
– Meal frequency and timing
– Meal plan layout
– Jump starting your recovery with pre and post workout meals
– Estimating calories you need
– Calorie cycling for amazing results
– Cheat meals
– Making diet adjustments
– Sample meal plan
– Best food sources
Listen, as this is very important. THE most important thing for your diet and nutrition is to eat all whole foods that are unprocessed and organic. When you do so, you need less food as your body is getting MORE nutrients. This automatically helps your recovery from weight lifting and decreases body fat at a much higher rate.
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercise is highly important to your health and your body. You cannot leave cardio out of your new program. Cardio is a must. You must stay active each and every day. You can't just lay around any day of the week. You do get to rest more on God's Day of Rest, but you don't need to just lay around all day. Get up and move. Spend time with your family and friends.
– You must include cardio

The main purpose of cardio is to improve your health and to burn body fat quickly. Cardio helps you feel better and look better so why not do this regularly? I suggest you always do cardio no matter your goals. If someone tells you not to do cardio because you are trying to gain weight, please ignore that advice. I took that advice a long time ago, and it got me into some health problems. I did gain weight fast, but nothing is worth health issues.
Measuring Results and Making Adjustments
In order to make adjustments to your personalized program, you must measure your results. How do you know if something needs to be changed if you aren't measuring the progress you are making? This is where every other program in existence fails and this is why the WLC System is THE MOST powerful muscle building and fat loss system on this planet. I was never taught how to do any of this, but my engineering background really helped and it truly JUST makes sense.

Rest and Recovery
Rest and recovery may not sound very important, but it's an absolute MUST. If you aren't resting well and recovering well, you aren't going to make any progress at all. The period of rest and recovery from workouts is when you are making all of the progress. This is when your body is making changes based on all the work you've put into this.

– Intensity and conditioning are key

You must be sleeping well each night. You must be feeling great each day. If you feel run down, then maybe you need an extra day or two of rest. You'll find out how to make all of those decisions at the pages above.
Building Muscle
Building muscle is a mystery to many people, but you'll see that it's actually very easy with the WLC System. The workouts aren't easy. You have to put in the work, and hard work at that, but you'll see thatit's easy to do once you figure out the WLC System.

Planning and Goal Setting
You need to set some realistic goals that you can meet and go after them. It's always awesome to set daily goals and to know that you met them all at the end of each day. Go day by day, then week by week, then month by month. Once you do that, you'll look in the mirror one day and be amazed!
– Setting your mind
– Hard work
– Self confidence
– Setting goals
– Expectations for building muscle and burning fat
– Writing out your goals
– Power of visualization

When you get to the end of a program, you need to celebrate! Celebrating is the best. But the real reward is your new mind and your new body. You'll know the hard work that it takes to get the body you want. And you will appreciate your new body and treat it well from here on out.
