The masses of well-intentioned individuals who are seeking out a better lifestyle that is filled with gains in size and strength have been led astray. Far too often promises of an improved physique in a very small amount of time are said to be true, and gimmicks drain the pockets of hard-working and trusting people daily.
The act and mindset of good old fashion hard work and dedication have been replaced with quick fixes and delusions of grandeur. The fact of the matter is this; nothing will put you on a collision course with gains more so than the three facets of this lifestyle that I’m going to spell out.
There are no short cuts; there is no trickery and persistence with these three pillars for achieving gains is all you need to focus on. If you’re ready, strap in, buckle up and prepare to blast off into a realm of muscle-growth you didn’t even know existed!
Eat BIG
There are no two ways about it; to get big you have to eat big.
This doesn’t mean you eat big once or twice a day and assume that’s good enough because you’re full and not hungry anymore. This means you have to eat big all day long spread across five to seven meals each and every day.
When the time comes to eat again, and you’re not hungry, guess what, you eat anyway. Eating big means eating even when you don’t feel like it. And don’t be concerned with accumulating too much body fat either. If you’re eating big only a couple of times a day then yes, gains in body fat will occur. But if you’re eating big five to seven times a day your relative body fat will most likely drop in percentage as the constant influx of calories will get your metabolism firing on all cylinders.
Let’s say you’ve finished your seventh meal of the day and you’re still hungry, what should you do? I say eat again! There was a time in my life when I was trying to pack on as much size as I possibly could that I would set my alarm for two or three o’clock in the morning so that I could get up and eat and then go back to bed.
The old saying, “you are what you eat” couldn’t be truer in the world of bodybuilding. To get big, you have to eat big, period!
Train BIG
I see so many people in the gyms now chasing the pump. They want to blow up their chests, lats, and arms to the point where they almost seem to be posturing for dominant position. Tons of sets and reps have been performed to get to that point only to lose it all within a half hour of leaving the gym.
The secret to getting big and feeling full all of the time; you have to train heavy! Big weights build big muscle. Max-OT training focuses on intensity and overload. It’s the quickest and smartest approach to building maximum muscle, fast.
Focus on compound free weight movements, focus on your intensity levels while in the gym, eliminate wasted energy on excessive sets and reps and hit it big and heavy on all of your working sets. Your physique will take on a whole new look, and no one will ever accuse you of posturing; it will simply be just how you always look.
Supplements are Key
To complement your training and eating efforts, your supplementation is going to play a very vital and key role in all of this. There are lots of products available to you that will help you put on the muscle that you desire, and my favorites for doing so are these: MyoGenin, Micronized Creatine Monohydrate, GL3 L-Glutamine and MultiPro 32X. You need protein to repair damaged muscles, and nothing will do that better than MyoGenin.
MyoGenin is the first ‘Active Protein’ that floods your muscles with leucine peptides, activating mTOR and accelerating protein synthesis unlike any other protein in the world. This is a new development by AST that completely changes the muscle-building game.
So there you have it folks, no tricks or gimmicks just the plain old truth. If you want to set your course for a collision with gains, you’ll put the late night remote down, stop ordering promises from television commercials and magazine ads and switch your whole approach to include persistence, dedication and good old hard work. The extent of your efforts will always be seen and if you ever do collide with something, just make sure it’s the gains you’ve been looking for!
