Top Ways to Get Strong Quickly
You have undoubtedly read some of the countless articles out there about creatine, HMB, periodization, thermogenics and more. So why is it — with all of this information out there — that you still don’t have the body you want? The answer will surprise you.
You’ve come to understand several individual components of the program that will take you there. You just haven’t learned to put all of the pieces together.
What I’m going to do now is provide you with a series of articles that will help you put all of those fragments of body change knowledge you’ve acquired into a usable whole. The system you’re about to discover has been proven to work and it’s doable.
In this first stage of your body transformation you’re going to utilize a weight training technology I’ve termed metabolic shift training. It is the most effective method for building muscle, burning fat, and transforming the body that I’ve ever encountered.
I know you’ve been seeking out “the perfect routine” from friends, gym members, and magazines, and although you’ve tried many, none has really kicked in the way you hoped. That’s really because “the perfect routine” for “everyone” doesn’t exist.
The idea behind metabolic shift training is to get your muscles to leave their comfort zone. Then, when the body begins to adapt to that stimulus — add a different challenge so that you don’t overtrain and your progress continues.
There are some general principle of body transformation that apply to everyone. So, although you are unique, you are also in many ways the same as other people. Once you understand general principles you’ll be able to alter some aspects of your training protocol.
Good news: there is a way to control your metabolism and the amount of fat that covers your body. However, there is a prerequisite for making that change. You’ll need to learn to control how to build muscle and burn fat.
Muscle is the key to changing the shape and function of your body. If you want to reveal a good looking figure it’s vital to learn how to add more muscle to your body. Even if your goal is to just burn fat, adding muscle will build your fat burning furnace. This is because muscle is the place where fat is burned.
You might have had your introduction to weights as I did. Three times a week, basic compound movements, resting every other day. It worked. Then you learned more. You met a guy who trains Legs on Fridays and Chest on Tuesdays.
You learned about supersets and forced reps. Your “thighs,” rather than consisting of hams and quads, soon became inner quads, outer quads, sweep, and teardrop. The overhead presses you started with for delts were soon joined by all types of lateral movements to the front, sides, and rear.
The interesting thing is that this is the natural progression for most strength training athletes. As they advance their results seem to diminish. Why is this?
