STRENGTHOur goals for the next eight weeks are massive increases in strength throughout the whole body, and enhanced muscle size. Don’t worry if you don’t get super jacked right away. You’ll add some muscle now, but the real size will come later on, as you begin to use the newfound strength developed with this program.
Strength is the basis for everything we do in the gym and in life. If you want to get huge, you’ve got to get strong. Raising your limit strength (the amount you can lift once) allows you to handle a heavier submaximal weight for more reps. Let me illustrate: Generally, low reps build strength and high reps build size, right? Sort of. Well, in this program, you’ll be doing a blend of both, but you’ll also be doing heavy weights for higher reps. Using heavy weights for high reps on basic exercises causes a large release of growth hormone in your body and also increases testosterone levels.
