Personally, I have the tendency to add fat pretty easily thanks to my parents feeding me like I was sponsored by Ronald Mcdonald as a child…
So, typical muscle building diets never worked well for me. I’ve always needed to be intelligent and think outside the box.
The innovative bulking strategy I now use — and that I share with you below — came to me after struggling for years to add muscle without looking like a complete butterball. No matter how hard I tried, I always seemed to gain fat when I followed typical advice of most of the “experts” out there. I blamed bad genetics.
I have worked with hundreds of clients in bodybuilding, physique and figure contest preparation… and it seems we ALL were cursed with “bad genetics”.
The truth is, its not so much bad genetics, as bad GENE EXPRESSION — from poor dietary choices and more importantly, the wrong choices at the wrong times. (this is the newly discovered science of epigenetics).
The solution to adding maximum lean muscle, while staying lean at the same time is a phenomenon I noticed AFTER a period of relative exhaustion or depletion (such as after a contest).
“Average people” seemed to gain extraordinary amounts of muscle in really short periods of time and not gain an ounce of fat when the weight gain proceeded these periods of exhaustion. They all saw a SUPER COMPENSATION of muscle and weight gain in just a few short weeks. I’m talking gaining as much as 15 lbs of pure muscle in as little as 4 weeks and not an ounce of fat to show for it.
So I started thinking… “Why the heck am I waiting until AFTER the contest to make this happen?…” How can we replicate this phenomenon all year long…?
I began digging deeper into understanding what was taking place behind the scenes — the metabolism and metabolic function causing these huge surges of muscle — and I started to uncover the simple, yet incredibly powerful cause…
EXACTLY How to Create the Perfect Hormonal Storm — over &
over again — To Pack on as Much Muscle as YOU Want, Without The Fat…
Here’s what happens in your body when you follow my personal “cyclical bulking” strategy…
When training in a depleted state — like a bodybuilder does when dieting for a show — your body is forced to become more efficient…
You’re training hard, with fewer calories than your body requires for optimal performance and you keep pushing through those hard workouts like a goal-driven beast.
Your body is using its reserves — glycogen and stored fat — as fuel just to meet the demands you place on it. Your muscle cells are forced to become more effective at using glycogen (carbohydrate), and your mitochondria learn to become more efficient at using fat for fuel.
This is all a natural adaptation that EVERYONE undergoes in response to a caloric deficit or period of nutrient depletion. Think of it as “nutrient resensitization”.
Even if you did NOTHING for a few days, and you were in a carbohydrate depleted state, your body would experience this nutrient resensitization. Now, imagine you were actually training…
Your body will learn to use nutrients like a superstar! Even as well as those superhuman freak bodybuilders and fitness models who can eat anything and still be ripped.
So…
The harder you work in that depleted state, the greater the “rebound” will be in the “Growth” Cycle that follows… IF you time it right
The Secret Signal That Creates Natural Growth Spurts
Now, it’s clear that growth is NOT linear… it never has been.
The body grows in bursts. Many people make the mistake of trying to do the same thing for too long and hoping that they will grow perpetually.
Think of a child growing up, it’s a fluctuation between stagnation and growth spurts. Your biology is made to support large bursts of growth, but cannot sustain it for months, weeks or even DAYS at a time.
People following the “Forever Bulk” mindset will learn this lesson in the form of disappointing muscle gains and excessive fat gain.
Truth is, if you want to gain massive amounts of muscle, you have to learn how to create your own growth spurts.
The body has to really be convinced to put on muscle. It’s a metabolically and calorically expensive process.
Muscle weighs a lot, and requires a lot of work from your body. So when you send the signal to grow more muscle to your body, it can’t be a whisper, it has to be the ROAR of a Lion.
That is how you get huge surges of muscle growth. Yet you can only keep “roaring” for so long. Then your roar will turn into a whimper and things go to hell…
However, everyone is different. And your body will react in a very unique way that requires you to spend more or less time bulking or resensitizing your body for muscle growth.
So creating UNLIMITED growth spurts only works if you get the timing right, which I’ll tell you about in a minute. First, you have to understand what happens when you get it wrong…
The type of traditional “bulking” methods used by millions of men around the world to pack on a few measly pounds of muscle might be destroying your gains… PERMANENTLY.
Maybe you’ve experienced something like this before… You want to pack on some new muscle mass. And after consulting with the local muscle-bound meathead, you were advised, “you just gotta eat more.”
So you set out on a quest to increase your calories — by any means necessary — in the hopes of packing on a few solid pounds of muscle that might actually have people take notice.
For 98% of guys, that kind of indiscriminate eating just leads to indiscriminate fat gain.
Remember that meathead you consulted? He’s one of less than 2% of guys who can eat what they want and still stay shredded. Yet they are the ones you end up asking for advice because you think they have some “secret”. Far from it…
Eating the way they do will not only make you fat, but it could be permanently destroy any chance you have of EVER gaining muscle.
You see, you end up destroying your insulin sensitivity, and permanently decreasing your body’s ability to produce and use testosterone.
This is why such a large percentage of men over 35 years old end up resorting to HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy, just to enjoy a decent quality of life and be able to have sex with their wife. Sounds like a very meager existence that I’m sure most of us would love to avoid…
Creating a lasting VIGOR for life requires optimal body function, lean and tight abs, and a sex drive that won’t quit. To sustain these things, you need to ensure your body never shuts down and loses the hormones it needs for you to live an awesome life.
Unfortunately, VERY few people even realize this is possible after destroying their bodies with poor food, chemicals and inadequate exercise protocols from a young age. Sorry, guys. Its true.
Listen, very few guys have even HEARD of an intelligent approach to packing on muscle. For most folks, bulking up becomes an excuse to be lazy, and eat whatever the hell they want…
In America most guys grow up playing football. Drinking beer, eating chicken wings and being fat and lazy is almost expected and part of the culture. Thats cool if you want to look like an NFL lineman, but most of us want to look like we workout when we take our shirt off, NOT look like we throw around 320 lb men for a living.
Gaining WEIGHT is cool when you’re 15 years old, but that’s not enough now, right? Not anymore…
YOU WANT REAL MUSCLE….
So… You will not eat whatever you want and let yourself pack on ugly and manhood-killing body fat. You will not hide behind that feeble excuse: “I’m bulking”…
Listen, its cool to eat what you want sometimes, but knowing WHEN to do it, and HOW to prepare for it is what being an alpha male is all about. Be the guy that guys want to be and chicks want to be with!
Traditional style of bulking is so outdated, I’ve seen competitors put on 40 to 50 lbs in the off-season and then come in smaller the next competition. And I’ve seen regular guys do the same thing, except they “dieted down” for summer or a beach vacation instead.
HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN? How can you possibly lose muscle by eating more calories?!
Well, its quite simple once you “get it”.
Conventional bulking makes very little sense to your body’s physiology and i will outline exactly why…
Here’s a look at just a few of the things that happen to your body when you follow the traditional long term bulking strategies…
It’s a no brainer when you think about it…
With the Incredible Bulk, you don’t even have to put any thought into it. You are either charging forward at one extreme or the other — no more monkeying around in the middle for mediocre results. And I tell you exactly when to switch back and forth…
And you NEVER have to endure the horrible experience of 12 weeks of nasty deprivation dieting just to get ready for the beach or the stage. You’re never more than 3-4 weeks from a six pack!…
Plus, you’ll constantly feel energetic, have huge pumps, and look forward to every workout…
Listen, I know from experience that isn’t the case with traditional bulk and cut systems…
Following the “old rules” of bulking, all I ever wanted to do was sleep. I had to take stimulants hand over fist just to psyche myself up for my workouts! Then I’d spend weeks of cutting with terrible pumps, nosediving strength, and zero energy.
That’s because I was working against my body and it’s natural cycles of growth and hormonal reset. And that all changes with the Incredible Bulk system…
