Increase Work Capacity to Dramatically Improve Your Body

Every few years I get tricked into trying out brief and infrequent training.

Last summer was one of those times.

I was training only about 2 times per week.

After 3 months of this, I barely even looked like someone who worked out.

It isn’t like anyone really tricks me…

I just see someone who looks good from training 2-3 times per week and I give it a shot.

If I was active last summer it could have worked out okay.

Unfortunately, I barely got outside.

The trend these days is to train as little as possible.

Reducing Workload = Reduced Work Capacity

Impressive looking physiques are built by INCREASING the work capacity with training, not decreasing it.

The higher your workload per week, the more adaptations you will make.

The law of diminishing returns comes into play.

You don’t need to train 15 hours per week, but…

If you want tone and definition?

You will simply focus on workloads that are short of failure as described in my Women’s Course and phase 2 and phase 3 of my Men’s Course.

If you want size?

You will focus on workloads that push to failure and fatigue the muscle as described in phase 1 of my Men’s Course.

Remember…

The more work you do, the more adaptations you can make.

This is a good principle to remember.

Note: Don’t get fooled by the pretty Instagram people.

Some of them are barely over the age of 19.

It’s much easier at a young age to look awesome with minimal work.

The rules change when you hit 30 and beyond.
