Do You Want to Learn How You Can Stop Wasting Time in the Gym and Start Getting Results?

        Do you wonder why you cannot build muscle from following what you read in the muscle magazines?  Did you know that it is very simple to gain muscle mass once you know exactly how to do it?

        I have the training concepts and principles you need to start making the big gains in the gym.  And no it doesn't have anything to do with using steroids, everything I tell you about gaining lean muscle mass is all natural.

Sick and tired of not getting the results you want?

        I am here to set you on the right path for using weightlifting workouts to build the physique you desire.  Whether you are a high school or college athlete, a weekend warrior on the basketball court or football field, a person that wants to live a healthy lifestyle or someone who wants to pack on a few pounds of muscle for your own personal reasons.

        Over the last 16 years of being in the weight room, reading the books and magazines, and using all the latest supplements I have learned a thing or two about what it takes to build muscle.  On a 1-to-1 basis, I have been training men and women of all ages for the last 12 years and have excellent results with almost everyone (a few of them didn't put in the effort to get results, which happens sometimes).

        Now the first step to gaining the lean muscle mass you desire would be to ask one of huge muscle freaks at the gym about how to get big or maybe look into the bodybuilding magazines for the secrets into building muscles right?  Wrong!  This information will only help you if you are a heavy steroid user!  They don't tell you that in the magazines; you have to find out on your own by trial and error.  Now you can skip the trial and error part because I have already done it and you can learn from my experience.

        Another confusing aspect to bodybuilding that affects most people is all the concepts, principles, and terminology that you get bombarded with.  Topics such as:

• Pre-exhaust

• Supersets

• Overload principle

• Negatives

• Compound movements

• Isolation movements

• Deadlifts (95% of the guys in the gym do these incorrectly)

Do you want to waste years of your time using trial and error in the quest to build the body of your dreams?

        You do have a few options for gaining the knowledge you need to build the body you want to have.  First, you can ask other people in the gym.  If you ask one of the huge guys who looks like a pro/amateur bodybuilder you will get advice that only works if you are on the same steroid cycles and have the same genetics as him.  You could ask one of the average sized lifters too but they are probably in the same situation you are and that won't help you either.

        Second, a personal trainer could help.  However, they do not come cheap!  The bad ones charge $45/hr and the price goes up from there.  After a few months or a year this will end up costing you thousands of $$$.  Chances are they won't even be helping you towards your goals; they want to start you off SLOWLY and teach you every piece of equipment in the gym.  You see, the more sessions it takes to teach you, the more money they make.

        Third, looking for the answers in the magazines.  If you want to follow the pro's diet and/or training regimen listed in the magazines, you are in trouble!  Its a known fact that pro bodybuilders take just about any substance that builds muscle (including steroids) regardless of the consequences.  Being all natural, your body cannot process all the food in their diets, train as LONG as they do or recover as quickly.  Following the pro's advice you find in the magazines will leave you very overtrained or worse, injured.

        Another thing you could do is teach yourself through trial and error.  This will take you a long, long time because you have to try an idea for a few months and see if you make any progress.  If you didn't then you can try another idea for a few months.  If that one didn't work either you can try again and again and again.  See how long this will take you?

I have the answers but, only if you allow me to give them to you!

        For natural bodybuilders it is the training that is most important; not the nutritional supplements that pro bodybuilders and muscle magazines want you to believe.  You see, the pros are making millions of dollars for pitching you supplements and the magazines are making even more to fill their magazines with these ads.  The fitness / bodybuilding industry is all about getting you to buy their nutritional supplements month after month so they can take your money!

        Getting back to the training and why it is your #1 priority.  Without using the proper strength training routines and the proper exercises to stimulate new muscle growth, all the nutritional supplements in the world won't help you gain one ounce of muscle!  Don't get me wrong, excellent nutrition is needed but proper training is the most important.

        Also, your weight lifting workouts should revolve around the HIT (high intensity training) principles; this is the main element to gaining muscle!  Your workouts should be brief (45 min), low volume, and with high intensity.  These workouts should be spaced out far enough apart so your muscles have a chance to recover AND GROW.  Rest is very important since your muscles don't grow while you are in the gym, they grow while you are resting.

High intensity training (HIT) background

         Today bodybuilding and weightlifting routines commonly extend into 4, 5, 6, or even 7-day marathons.  This hasn't always been the case, and if we look back to turn of the century strongmen we can see that they focused on short, hard workouts utilizing basic movements and heavy weights.  Here are some examples of what people did before steroids and supplements came into the mainstream:

• Hermann Goerner deadlifted 734 ½ lbs with one hand on October 8th, 1920 at a bodyweight of 290lbs.  He also had a 1 rep max two handed deadlift of 860lbs, less than 100lbs off the current world record and his was accomplished without support gear or drug use.

• John Davis, two-time Olympic champion competing between 1937 and 1956, capable of squatting 500lbs fully for 10 reps, deadlifting 705lbs, strict curling 215lbs, and overhead pressing 375lbs.  All without support gear or drugs.

• Paul Anderson, possibly the strongest man who ever lived, squatted 1206lbs, push pressed 600lbs, and still holds the all time record for heaviest weight lifted by a human, of 6270lbs in the backlift.

• Reg Park, won the NABBA Mr. Universe title three times in 1951, 1958 and 1965 as well as many other bodybuilding awards from the 1940's to 1960's.  The second person ever to bench press 500lbs, regularly squatted and deadlifted with 600lbs, and behind the neck pressed a 1 rep max of 300lbs.  He was Arnold Schwarzenegger's hero.  How long did he train for?  3 times a week, for about an hour.

During the mid 1960s and 1970s the influence of anabolic steroids became more prevalent in bodybuilding.  It is, if we look back about this time that routines began to change and evolve into what we see today where a typical workout may consist of 25 sets, attempting to work each muscle independently and without thought to the body's own biochemical reactions.  Not only is this type of training counterproductive for the great majority of trainees, but also makes it impossible to put forth the level of hard work that is essential for muscular growth.

Let's compare high intensity training with volume training

Let us look at it this way, we have two people, one of whom trains 20 sets in a chest and triceps workout, he spends about an hour and a half in the gym, in which time doing 4 sets of bench presses, 4 sets of incline, 4 sets of cable cross-overs, 4 sets of skull-crushers with the ez-bar, and 4 sets of cable push downs.

On the other hand we have a guy who trains twice a week for less than an hour each time.  He does cardio twice a week also and is in good shape, but lifts only on Monday and Thursday.  His Monday workout consists of squats to 1” above parallel, bench presses on a flat bench, bent over rows, barbell curls and sit-ups. 

Starting with squats he warms up then proceeds to a working weight of 315 lbs for 15 reps, he always goes to the point where he has to drop the weight on the support bars of the squat rack, which means sometimes he gets 12 reps, some 15.  If he gets 15 or better he moves the weight up 10 lbs next week.  Going to failure on hard squatting has the additional effect of occasionally meaning he has to sit down for 7-8 minutes afterward, or run to the toilet and puke; both sure signs of hard work.  The type of hard work that is a prerequisite to solid muscle building. 

After the squats he moves on to bench presses.  He benches 245 lbs for 8 full and smooth reps, and has a chest measurement of 45 inches with little body fat.  Not amazing, but easily a 315 lb single and better that the vast majority of people you've seen training in your gym!  Each set here is taken to muscular failure, where the spotter must take the weight from him on the last rep.

Bent over rows come next, 2 hard sets with 240 lbs.  After this again, 1 set of curls hard and to failure, and then 1 set of sit-ups for 50 reps.  Sometimes he does these holding a disc on his stomach and going to failure.

The lifter above did just 8 sets, who has worked harder?  Let me give you a test, if you don't believe that 2 short workouts each week can work go to the gym and do this:

1) Take your ten rep squatting poundage and squat it for 30.  If you fail and have to drop it on the squat rack pins, unload it then put it back up, load it again and keep going until you reach 30 repetitions!

2) Move on to deadlifts, take your 10-rep poundage and do the same, keeping your back flat and your form excellent.

3) Do one set of overhead presses to failure.

Do this and then come back and say you had an easy workout.

The basis of high intensity training

Arthur Jones created HIT back in the 1970's as an alternative to the high volume routines that often gave his gym followers little results.  He scientifically tested his methods in order to convince skeptics in the training industry.  Mike Mentzer and others that he trained took what they learned from Jones and created their own twists to the system.  The most influential spokespersons for modern day HIT training would likely be people like the sadly departed Mike Mentzer, 6-time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates, and others who you'll no-doubt find if you do a simple Internet search.

Here's a list of the most important exercises:

Legs and lower back - deadlifts, squats, leg presses
Back and biceps - rows, chins, shrugs
Chest, shoulders and triceps - Bench press or dips, overhead press
Abs - sit-ups or crunches

With these exercises you keep in mind poundage targets that are hard but achievable, and when you accomplish them, raise the stakes and set new ones.  "Ah", you say, "but I'm a bodybuilder!  Unconcerned with strength, I only want big arms and bulging pecs, big enough to make the girls drool over my better than perfect body!"

Nope.  The reason why poundage targets are used is that poundage targets are not only the simplest indicators of progress, but also the best.  There may not be a completely linear relationship between size and strength, but one does exist and if today you can curl 100 lbs for 6 repetitions, yet in 6 months you manage 140 lbs in the same fashion, your arms will undoubtedly be bigger.  Focus on getting stronger in the "big basics" and your body will develop much better than it would by measuring yourself each week.

Here are some good targets to work to over the medium to long term, once you reach these you will have surpassed 99% of all weight trainers all over the world, and will likely be one of the stronger guys in your gym.

Squats to 1” above parallel: 315 lbs x 15, 400 lbs x 1
Deadlifts: 385 lbs x 10, 500 lbs x 1
Bench press: 275 lbs x 8, 335 lbs x 1
Standing shoulder press: 180 lbs x 6
Bent over rows: 255 lbs x 10

Lifting these poundages at 210 lbs bodyweight, would roughly equate to an arm of over 16 inches and a chest of over 45 inches, depending on your height obviously.  Do these sound small?  Arnold Schwarzenegger's arms were 19 inches, he may have claimed otherwise but at his peak they were measured by Arthur Jones in fair and controlled conditions.  Nowadays bodybuilders still claim measurements that are far in excess of what they truly are, and if I were you I would take those (and their poundage claims) with a pinch of salt.  The only bodybuilder I would believe when it comes to his lifts would be Ronnie Coleman.  He has powerlifter strength in a bodybuilder's body, just check out his videos.

The other HIT conditions for growth

In brief,

1) Hard work.  Not long work, but hard work.  If you do not put every ounce of effort you possibly can into each and every set, then you will not get the results that you could.  This is especially true of squats and deadlifts, as the very big moves have a much greater carry-over effect to total body development than any other.

2) Good nutrition.  You must have an adequate intake of all the essential vitamins and minerals your body requires each day, as well as fats.  You must also take in adequate calories each day so adjust your calories by eating more if you want to grow, and less if you want to cut body fat, and make sure to take in adequate protein, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit.

3) Include cardiovascular fitness work.  This is not just for health - though that is it's most important benefit - but also to allow you to grow better in the long run.  A healthy body is an adaptable body, and ultimately, by doing just something along the lines of 2 cardio sessions a week for 30 minutes or so will help keep fat off and aid recovery times between workouts.

4) Rest.  If you aren't getting at least 7-8 hours sleep each night your body will find it much more difficult to repair and progress.  You grow when you sleep, end of message.
