Muscle
Gain Equals New Wardrobe
I'm on your program
for over 4 months now.
Thanks to you-I think I'm going to need a whole new wardrobe-just
when I'm broke!
I started with
8% BF. I had a muscle gain of 7 lbs of lean muscle as of right-even
after two-2 weeks break and one 3 days internal cleansing
as per your bodybuilding book Underground Mass Secrets "Growth
Preparation Phase". I didn't even follow the bodybuilding
books advice that closely as my diet consisted of eating nothing
but apples which helped me to lose 5 lbs in just 3 days!!!
If I didn't lose that 5 lbs, my total muscle gain would be
around 10-12 lbs of SOLID MUSCLE.
But my body fat
hangs around 7-8.5%. What do you recommend to get it to maybe
4.5%-Without Killing myself and without losing the muscle
gains I have made?
I still train the
begginer cycle in your bodybuilding book. Should I move to
the advanced? It stated in your program that I move up to
advanced when the power increases flatten, but I haven't yet!
My strength is shooting through the roof!! I never imagined
I could be so strong so fast!!!
Also, proportionally
my quadraceps and triceps are much bigger than my biceps.
Got any advice?
You & your
bodybuilding program are THE BEST I've seen!

Thanks For the
wonderful comments, but to tell you the truth this bodybuilding
program is nothing without people like you to push it to the
next level and show what can be achieved! For that I thank
you!
As for your concern
about getting your body fat down while keeping your muscle
gain, this is the last frontier that really separates the
men from the boys! The reason, When you diet down to these
lower body fat levels without the proper techniques and patience,
you can lose alot of muscle and not even rip up.
It takes patience,
discipline and intelligence to get ripped up while keeping
as much of your muscle gains as possible. And that said no
matter what, it is pretty hard not to lose a little muscle
weight no matter how slow you take it.
ON the other hand, the faster you attempt to lose the body
fat the more of your muscle gains you are more likely to lose.
Then there is your bodys own survival instinct which raises
havoc against efforts to keep your muscle gains while losing
fat.
First step: Keep your training exactly where you are presently
. To keep your muscle gains, you have to do what got you your
muscle gains in the first place. All this high rep stuff to
cut up is a bunch of crap. Stick to what you are presently
doing.
second: For now when cutting up do not worry about increasing
your strength or muscle size. You are to go into somewhat
of a maintenance phase .This will not be easy you still have
to train hard as I am sure you know to have gotten where you
are at.
Third: Diet is key. You can take two individuals. One that
trains as hard as humanly possible but eats poorly and the
other that trains half assed but diets as I am about to prescribe.
The guy that diets properly will look shredded while the guy
that trains all out but eats like a fat man will look like
a fat man!
So now diet is key to your next goal.
As per the bodybuilding
book, cut carbs out except for fibrous carbs. Keep fibrous
carbs to 50 grams per day.
1.5 grams of protein
per pound
.60 grams carbohydrate per pound of body weight
.10 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight
calories bodyweight
X 11 - 10 %
I am soon to release
a meal plan bodybuilding book which will give meal plan examples
following this system and two others that are in the just
released 2005 Underground
Mass Secrets bodybuilding book. Let me know how you make
out with this information.
Now as for your
biceps you are actually blessed in one way... triceps are
2/3rd's of your arm.! For the real mass big triceps are the
key most people never achieve. Yet having your biceps dwarfed
is a problem. I assume from your letter that both your hamstrings
and your biceps are lagging.
One of the benefits
of the bodybuilding book Underground Mass Secrets workout
program is that every muscle is specialised every week. For
this reason there is no additional specialisation required
by you in regards to the training routine.
Not only are the workouts designed for optimal growth, training
intensity and training frequencies are carefully specified
based on our twenty years of studies and experience.
For example, biceps are a relatively small muscle group, thus
having less muscle fibre to repair.
This equates into being able to train biceps more frequently
than say back or legs without overtraining.
It is beneficial for maximum muscle growth to train biceps
as many times as per the bodybuilding book while hamstrings
being a much larger muscle requires much more recuperation
time thus a decreased training frequency is optimal for best
muscle growth results. Each muscle grows optimally using different
training frequencies. This is simplified greatly there are
several other factors.
As long as you follow the program as prescribed you take advantage
of the hormonal and nervous system optimisation and recuperation.
you will complete two to three biceps workouts per phase.
As for hamstrings this is the second slowest recuperating
muscle group in the body besides lower back. For this reason,
only one training session is completed every one to two weeks
again depending on the training phase and cycles you are in.
Now what I really
think your problem is...your mind to muscle link. This is
expected and common among subjects with less than five years
training experience.What is a mind to muscle link? It is the
link between your mind and your muscle groups determining
greatly your ability to use a muscle to its maximum potential.
T o solve your dilema, You must learn to train your biceps
and hamstrings much more effectively squeezing as much muscle
bursting benefit from every inch of every repetition. Similiar
to how an advanced bodybuilder trains as a result of many
years of trial and error compared to how a beginner trains
unaware of what muscles are being stimulated or how to increase
stress on any particular muscle.
How are you going to learn these underground secret techniques
that usually take years of focused effort to master ?
The Mind to Muscle section in the bodybuilding book Underground
Mass Secrets is designed to shave off years of time in your
quest to optimal training effectiveness. Learn these principles
and apply them! Really learn to focus on creating maximum
tension on biceps and hamstrings during the full range of
motion of each repetition!.
Another tip for
your biceps is to make sure you are locking your wrists. If
your wrists are not locked you will take the stress off the
biceps and onto the forearms!!
By combining all
the benefits in the Four Phase Plan like the hormonal and
nervous system optimisation techniques plus the bodybuilding
books specialising training frequency while learning to work
these muscles more effectively I guarantee it will be only
a matter of time before these lagging parts will be tunred
into prized possession!
