Book says do workouts for six weeks but..

[banderbe]

For Fat Loss I, for example, there are only four weeks of progression laid out (assuming you workout three times a week)

Six workouts for A and B, total of 12 workouts. By the end of this week I'll be done with them, doing 10 reps with 45 second rest periods.

What do I do for the next two weeks? Stay at the 10 rep 45 sec. rest period level and just try to increase weights? Or what?

Book doesn't say.. I don't think it does anyway

I just took a week off and then went into FL2.

The Fat Loss programs are the shortest - at 3x a week, you'd complete them in a month. The Hypertrophy programs take about 2 months to complete (again at 3x a week). Strength may take longer, since it generally has 3 or 4 different workouts (A,B,C,D). I actually figured it out, but I don't have the book in front of me. At any rate, you rest a week, then pick the next program you want to do. Keeping things changing is what keeps the results coming in.

There are 4 workouts in the strength programs that you do 4x each, for a total of 16 workouts, so at 3x/week, your done in 5 weeks plus a day.

It's not an oops. It's all good. If you can keep up with the program and lift four times a week, good for you!

I agree. I rather like the 3x a week schedule and will stick to that.
