For Real Men Only...

Today, we get a guest message from Strength Coach Zach Even-Esh...

There are many methods to boost
your muscle building efforts.

Some are super easy to implement,
others require extra sleep / naps, extra rest,
these might be some things,
as a busy man, you
are unable to do on a regular basis.

Let's look at some tips you
can quickly and easily
implement into
your workouts which will
boost your muscle building.

Some are more obvious than others....

1. Choose rep ranges in the 6 - 12 range

* the moderate reps are great for hypertrophy,
this is why bodybuilding methods are great for
adding muscle. This rep range gives you enough
"time under tension" which speeds muscle growth.

2. Have a post workout meal
or meal replacement.

* You should also have
some complex carbs after the workout as
your body utilizes these carbs much more efficiently
immediately after a workout.

3. Choose compound lifts

* The old time strongmen
from the early 1900's and
prior all had rugged, solid as rock
physiques.

They were also VERY strong

Most importantly, they NEVER
isolated any muscle. They always
performed deadlifts, olympic lifts,
overhead pressing and gymnastics movements
such as handstand push ups,
pull up variations and hand walking.

So start utilizing movements such
as barbell and dumbbell rows, squats,
deadlifts, pull ups, clean and presses,
floor presses and snatches.

4. Short workouts!

* These old time strongmen also
understood the need and the benefit
of shorter workouts, and
doing everything in moderation.

They trained for 15 - 30 minutes
per workout, chose 2 - 3 movements
and worked hard as all heck on them!

A workout for them might
be 4 or 5 sets of the
barbell clean and press,
then 4 or 5 sets of
the handstand push up
and then call it a day!

Shocking for many, but,
these men knew that
it didn't take 50
different movements
to get strong, big and
rugged!

5. Consistency and Effort!

* OK, that's two things
wrapped into one :)

You can not develop muscle
or get that REAL Man
look with sissy workouts
that barely cause you to break
a sweat!

Work hard, and work hard
on a regular basis!

If you're feeling tired and beat
up, then make it a bodyweight
only workout.

Just remember, that on a regular
basis you need to move
your body and work hard when
doing so!

you've always wanted,
