These are the five big Mass Principles that are going to blow you past what you previously THOUGHT were your genetic limitations.
Now how do you put all these principles together into a strategic program?
This is where the magic happens...
To get the most out of each principle, you need to put them together in a way that maximizes the benefits of each one...so each one builds on the effects of the others.
You also need an overall framework that treats your body as a physiological UNIT, not just a collection of bodyparts.
So let's get started...
The "Mass Principles" Program...
The first phase of our "mass principles" program is the DIET phase.
By starting with a low-calorie diet, you're giving your body the idea that it's in a famine...and that when the food comes back, it better start storing.
It's during this phase of the program that you'll be training for improvement in your circulatory system, using high-rep, fast-pace training along with targeted partial training to strengthen the connective tissue of the body.
Now, you can further heighten this famine-response by following a low-carb eating pattern. This will have the multiple benefits of increasing fat-loss during the short diet phase, sparing muscle tissue, and increasing your body's sensitivitiy to insulin.
Insulin is one of the most critical anabolic hormones in your body - the more sensitive your body is to it, the more effective the SECOND phase of this "mass principles" program is going to be.
And that second phase is the OVERLOAD phase.
At this point, you've just come off 7 days of low-calorie dieting and your body is primed for storage. On that 8th day, you immediately start packing in the food and supplements (like protein, creatine and glutamine) in massive quantities.
To ensure that this influx of nutrients goes to muscle and not fat, you'll perform VERY high volume training...either the Stretch Exercise Overload Training I talked about (that has the potential to induce hyperplasia) or Compound Exercise Overload (which is the same high-volume program done with a big exercise like squats, deadlifts or bench press).
With all the nutrients flooding in, your body will seize the opportunity to build muscle and store all the nutrients it can.
After five days of training in this fashion, you will be completely overtrained...which is actually the major goal of this second phase.
Permit me to explain...
Most people think overtraining is bad...
It's not.
In fact, overtraining SHOULD be the major goal of any good strength or muscle-building program because THAT is how your body works best...you challenge it with a stimulus it hasn't seen before, ramping up to a state of overtraining where your body is frantically struggling to keep up.
Then you back off and allow it to recover.
Most training programs allow this to happen by accident and end up looking like this...(the light area in the middle is the ideal training zone where you get results)...
As you can see, a program that delivers too much volume or intensity will keep you in that ideal training zone for a period of time, until you hit that overtraining zone. Then, if you keep up with that program, you'll KEEP overtraining and your results will grind to a halt.
If you use a program that doesn't deliver enough volume or intensity, you'll stay in that ideal training zone until you bottom out into undertraining and again, your results will grind to a halt.
|
Any program that doesn't take into account your body's response to training loads and intensity will FAIL and keep you forever grinding through training plateaus.
|
Now let's look at a program that DOES take it into account...
Notice how the line ramps upwards (a process known as "accumulation") then, just when you hit that peak overtraining zone, you immediately back off and allow your body to recover (known as "intensification").
When you get to the undertraining zone, then you ramp right back up and go again (and it's not a coincidence that this exactly mirrors the program I laid out above).
I have to say, this is the SINGLE most important concept you need to learn if you ever want to truly succeed at building serious muscle and strength.
I can't emphasize that enough.
Which brings us to the THIRD phase...Growth and Recovery...
In this phase you will be literally ATTACKING your fascia using training techniques that fill the muscles up with blood then stretch them out.
You'll give your muscles more room to grow during the exact time where growth and recovery is happening rapidly, following the massive overload you just placed on it.
This phase will solidify the muscle and strength gains you made in that overload phase and deliver a permanent increase in muscle mass in the order of 5 to 10 lbs of lean muscle mass in a matter of a few weeks (not an exagerration).
So that's what a program using the 5 "mass principles" will look like...
Now, you could certainly do some homework and adapt the training programs you already know to work with these concepts.
You could even research each concept individually and try and put something together yourself from scratch...

Here's the thing...why waste your time and energy doing that when I've already done that hard work for you...

I call the program "Muscle Explosion - 28 Days to Maximum Mass"...and (with all due modesty :), it's just awesome.

In 4 rounds of testing this program (4 months), I gained 35 pounds of bodyweight with a minimal increase in bodyfat, going from 184 lbs to 219 lbs.
In a recent run-through focusing on deadlifts, after the second week of overload training, I gained 7 lbs of lean bodyweight and added 60 lbs to my deadlift, hitting an "easy" 500 lb lift.
- In another round I focused on Front Squats...the first day of the second overload week, I managed 4 sets with 185 lbs...by the fifth day of that sameweek, I blew out 44 SETS with 185 lbs (not a typo...that's 11X the volume with the same weight in 5 days time).
I'll tell you right now...in my ENTIRE 20+ years of training, I've NEVERgotten such amazing results in both strength and muscle mass this quickly with ANY OTHER TRAINING PROGRAM.
My wife will back me up on that...every single time I came up from my basement gym, I was ALWAYS in shock at how well the program was working. I would open up the door and shake my head and she would know EXACTLY what I was going to say...
"This is the BEST FREAKING PROGRAM I'VE EVER USED!"
This is NOT your average muscle-building program that lists a bunch of sets and reps and bombards you with loading parameters and percentages that you have to figure out before you can even train.
This is a BULLDOZER of a program that systematically adresses each your "genetics limitations" to literally rebuild your physiology from the ground up to maximize it for muscle building.
This program is for intermediate to advanced trainers who are ready to DEMOLISH plateaus and achieve growth and strength increases previously thought unattainable.
If that sounds like YOU, then this program...Muscle Explosion - 28 Days to Maximum Mass... is FOR YOU.
Now check out the results that people have gotten with Muscle Explosion...
WITH THIS PROGRAM, YOU WILL BUILD MORE MUSCLE AND STRENGTH IN THE NEXT 28 DAYSTHAN YOU HAVE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS...
