Q: You said that you’ve been using a full-body workout [page 19 in The Ultimate Mass Workout Reloaded]. I’m considering trying it. Have you made changes to the one listed? Is it working for you?
A: I mentioned a few weeks ago that I started the Full-Body Wave Workout during the holidays, right after Thanksgiving…
The plan was to use it as a quick break-in after some missed workouts due to food poisoning; however, after two weeks, my wife got an infection in her left hand from a cut. That was the weekend before Christmas…
She had to spend three days in the hospital, and her hand was bandaged…
Her being out of commission meant I had to pick up the slack and take over her daily grandkid duties…
I had to squeeze in workouts whenever I could. Luckily, the full-body Wave program was perfect; “de-emphasizing” half the body at one workout and the other half at the next makes it much more doable than normal full-body programs…
If I couldn’t work out for 2 days, not a big deal—I knew I had hit ALL muscles at my last session…
It’s now mid-January, my wife’s hand is still bandaged daily, so I’m on-call with the grandkids, taking the older one to school, getting puked on by the baby, etc.—which means I’m still riding the Wave a few times a week…
And my progress hasn’t suffered in the least. In fact, I actually feel bigger—although I do have a layer. Here’s my current pasty physique (193 pounds at age 65)…
Not ripped, but muscles are still full, with visible biceps vein, even in crummy lighting with no tan.
There is definite truth to frequency being rocket fuel for hypertrophy with low volume (1 to 2 sets per exercise).
In the next training newsletter, I’ll lay out some Wave Workout tweaks you can use to put more muscle on your physique.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
