According to WM, if I want to gain mass and lose fat I should do BBB - ABBH - TTT - OSC and repaet it 3 times... is there another way I could workout without having to makes 3 times the sames 4 routines ?

well that recommendation is a few yrs old i think he's probably changed his stance...basically you want to do the 3/week programs first then move to the 4 day a week ones...do a few of each then try his high frequency program if you have time

Hi swanso,

Been doing this for 3 weeks and am really enjoying it. However, lately, although I've been following the program to the "T", I am not longer getting tired. Infact I have "room" for 2-3 extra workouts after tht. Am I not doing it right? I tried increasing the weights, but I'm lifting as heavy as i can.

Btw, I've gained some muscle so am quite happy with this. But somehow the workout isn't giving the "kick in the groin" type of exhaustion tht i used to get before.

I've also gained approx 2Kgs in the last 2 weeks.

the high frequency program? no don't add in, it increases as you go...you're meant to get better (less tired), that's the point of it...it uses frequency, not intensity to get your gains...keep doing as written...once you get to the 2 a days it will be tougher
