How strength and muscle works
Learn the main lifts
Squat, hinge, push and pull patterns, coached until they feel solid.
Progress steadily
Weight, reps and tempo increase in planned steps, not guesswork.
Review every block
Your numbers and check-ins decide what comes next.
What a strength training plan looks like
Most strength plans use two to four full body or upper and lower sessions a week. Each session is built around the main movement patterns: a squat, a hinge, a push, a pull and a carry, with accessory work for weak spots. Wayne sets the weight and reps for each block and increases them in small steps, so you add strength week after week. Every lift is logged in the Everfit app, which makes your progress easy to see.
Why strength training matters after 30
From your 30s onwards you gradually lose muscle and strength unless you train for it. Lifting weights two or three times a week slows that loss, supports your joints and bones, and makes everyday jobs such as carrying shopping, climbing stairs and playing with children feel easier. It also helps with fat loss because muscle supports your metabolism. Wayne coaches technique first, so you build strength safely, whatever your starting point.
Who strength and muscle suits
Strength coaching suits adults who want to feel strong and capable, slow down the muscle loss that comes with age, or finally train with a plan instead of wandering the gym. It is just as suitable for beginners as for people returning to lifting.
“What really stood out was his attention to proper form, progression, and long-term strength rather than rushing the process. I’m now doing exercises I never thought I’d feel comfortable with again.”
Strength and muscle questions
Is it too late to build muscle in my 40s or 50s?
It is never too late. People in their 40s, 50s and beyond can lose body fat and build muscle with a smart, tailored approach. Wayne uses safe, effective exercises that help you feel stronger and more energised without putting stress on your joints.
Will lifting weights make me bulky?
Only if that is your goal. Your plan is written around what you want. The weight, sets, reps, tempo and whether you eat in a deficit or a surplus decide whether you build size or lean out.
I’m a complete beginner. Will it be too hard for me?
No. Every plan has beginner-friendly options and clear guidance. Whether you have never picked up a dumbbell or you are coming back after a break, Wayne will help you feel confident from day one.
Do I need a gym membership or special equipment?
No. Wayne writes plans for home or the gym. Many clients start with just dumbbells or resistance bands. If you train at a gym, your plan is built around the equipment it has.
