Building a Better Body
Interestingly, when I commented that it's easy for me [to get in shape], Sean jumped into the conversation and stated categorically...
"It's easy to make such small changes in your lifestyle. As a result, create such incredibly satisfying and rewarding changes in your body." When Sean and I talked more, we found that there were many other things in common between us. One of them is that we agreed that most people tend to make this topic more complicated than it should be. And if people knew how simple the changes they need to make to build a better body are, then many, many people would do it.
So, after dinner, I promised Sean I would start by sharing my perspective on building a leaner, healthier, more muscular body in our next newsletter. To help others understand how each lifestyle change works together with how simple weight training, diet, and supplements are.
But before we start, there is something I want to tell you. There are a lot of ways to gain muscle volume, and strength, and build a body that rotates in the head, and in no case do I declare that mine is the only way. (A very large number of self-proclaimed "experts" are already doing this!) What I can honestly say is that these techniques and tools are simply what has worked for me—year after year—and continue to work with countless others. And if you follow them, at least for four weeks, you will positively achieve greater gains in strength and volume and lose more body fat. Results that you can be proud of. I promise.
Are you prepared? Great. Let's get this party started.
Firstly, I cannot underestimate the importance of planning. Before I think about anything else, I always, always make sure that my whole day is planned. For me, there could be nothing more integral to my success. When I don't plan my days, I notice that everything feels "out of control" the next day. And he is. (Maybe this happened to you? That's why I always take about 15 to 20 minutes every night before I go to bed, plan out my workout the next day, prepare my meals, write down my most important "to-dos" and, as corny as it sounds, pick out my clothes to wear. I can't tell you how long the next day this nightly ritual saves me. I bet more than ten times.
"... When I don't plan my days, I notice that everything feels "out of control" the next day." If you are already good at planning, you will agree. If not, I encourage you to start tomorrow and adopt this wonderful habit that produces results. Remember that the only thing that separates those who are successful from those who are not is habits. It is easy to see that those who follow good habits are more likely to succeed, and those who follow random, soulless habits, are usually less successful. You get the point.
So now let's take a closer look at how exactly these technologies and tools are applied to the new and improved maximum growth program (which, by the way, is... It has been completely updated and revised with a complete 8-week program, new diet plans, weight training routines, and even a section with explanations and photos of each exercise. It's in the printers now, and I plan to produce 1000 just to get started. So, if you want to book your copy today, so as not to lag, please call us at 1-866-688-7679 and tell whoever answers that you are a regular reader of Real Solutions and want to book your copy of Volume 2 of Maximum Growth. As I said, there will only be 1000 printed copies, and since they are free we ask a trashy 5 pay to pay for postage and handling, expect these will go quickly. Don't get left behind. Contact us now. The number is 1-866-688-7679. Even the call is free! Or click here and fill out your information online: maximum growth).
Fortunately, a huge amount of schematic "work" has already been done on my new book. We have set the days on which you should work. He indicated exactly which parts of the body should be trained. We even planned the exact number of sets, reps, and rest times for each workout. Moreover, we have included seven full meals—from breakfast, to pre-and post-workout, to night meals-so you can easily make your daily eating plan.
Believe me, when you look at how much guesswork we took from building muscle and gaining strength with the maximum growth program, you will realize that it doesn't get much better than this. If someone had offered me a program like this one when I first started, I would have paid a few hundred dollars for it, easily.
Anyway, let's get back to how I put everything together. I'm following the maximum growth program to build my best body:
As soon as I plan my weight training journal sheet, I move on to my nutrition plan. From the first meal for the last, including what supplements I will take and how much water I plan to drink. I don't like to leave anything to chance, as a result, I usually stay on track every day. The closer you follow your plan, the faster you find you can reach your goals. There are no two ways about it. I've also provided a blank Daily Meal Plan sheet here, so you can print copies and use them to plan and write down your meals every day.
If you read the maximum growth program, you will notice that the total calorie intake is somewhat higher than the examples I gave in the meals section. This is because I weigh about 220 pounds, and the examples I gave are for someone who weighs 175 pounds. You may weigh more or less than this, so you will need to calculate your daily calorie and protein needs for the weight you want. Once this is done, it is very easy to plan your meals.
Now that I've written down the meals I want to eat the next day, I'm almost 50% done planning. After that, I prepare the meals that I will eat. Since tomorrow will be a very busy day for me (I have a lunch meeting), I plan to have two full meals and three nutritional shakes... Therefore, you need to prepare meals in advance. After I make my tuna pita sandwich and put my cooked brown rice in a Tupperware container, I grab the rest of my fruit, bottled water, and supplements and pack them in my bag to take to work the next day. I always check the status of my supplements to make sure I have enough supplements to last the entire week. (If you don't have an extra suitcase, I recommend you get one. They are very inexpensive and very convenient to use. You can purchase a pocket sachet online at WebVitamins.com.
Since I typically work out in the morning, I keep most breakfast foods, like oatmeal and condiments like the sweetener Splendid, in the office where I eat after my morning workout. I also keep an extra container of Smart Eat (my favorite meal replacement shake) at the office, so I don't have to lug it back and forth from home to work and from work to home. This can be annoying.
Now that, I have written down my target weights for the next training session; I have written down and prepared the meals I want to eat tomorrow; and I made sure I had the supplements I needed. The last thing I do is prepare my clothes. Since I worked in the morning, I made sure I had a comfortable t-shirt, sweatpants, some socks and underwear, sneakers, and a baseball cap. Next, I pack the clothes I will wear to work into my gym bag. Finally, I make sure I have my iPod (a digital headphone/music system
that helps me keep the intensity high during early morning workouts), my wallet, my keys, and my cell phone. Everything is packed and ready to go. Then I go to bed. Usually around 10:00 or 10:30 p.m.
