Werewolf Training | PhitZone

In pursuit of beast-like strength

In honor of the release of part one of Twilight‘s Breaking Dawn, I give you Werewolf Training.

Actually, Project Swole gives you Werewolf Training. I’m just going to give you a few of the highlights, and then send you over to see Steve.

Perhaps you’ve done some training to defeat zombies, but c’mon, really? Zombies? Face it, the only way to beat any super natural creature is through shear terrorizing strength.

Know your goal

Depending on what you’re after, Project Swole has two options for you to consider.

• Werewolf Training for Muscle Mass
• Werewolf Training for Strength

While you’ll gain strength while building mass, and vice versa, these two goals have to be approached in different ways.

Get yoked

If you’re goal is to put on muscle mass, and you’re not concerned about shedding fat or lifting a Prius over your head, than this is the program for you.

This whole routine stems from how Taylor Lautner added 30 Lbs. for the werewolf role of Jacob Black in second Twilight movie, New Moon.

The idea here is muscle confusion. This is achieved by varying rep counts, but the amount of weight lifted during the work sets doesn’t change.

You’ll also notice an emphasis on rest. We’re not talking about between sets. Instead you’ll take a full day off every third day. The only way that you’re body will grow is with amble recovery.

Then there’s the nutrition side of things. Aside form intense work and lots of down time, the kind and amount of food that you fuel your body with is just as important.

You need to be eating not only the right balance of calories, but plenty of them.

In addition, proper supplementation is a must. You’re going to need to at least take a good pre- and post-workout protein shake. Creatine is a good add for serious gains. You can also think about using a Nitric Oxide, such as NO-Xplode. Of course, you can pick all of these up through our Bodybuilding.com link.

What happened to the werewlf who ate garlic ? His bark was worse than his bite !

Brute strength

Let’s say that you’ve done a few cycles of the bulking program, but now you want to up your game with some serious strength gains.

Now you’re talkin’!

Remember in the other program that the amount of weight lifted during the work sets didn’t increase. Now we’re blowing that out the window!

This is based off tried and true powerlifting routines, such as Stronglifts 5×5, etc.

The idea is to be increasing the weight whenever you’re able to complete the set. For example, once you’re able to bench a certain weight, say 225 Lbs. for 5-reps, you’ll add 5 more Lbs. This is always forcing your body to always be striving for that next increase.

Don’t tuck that tail

There you have two great programs that will pack on some pit bull like muscle, but freakish strength.
