Hi all, I just did a review of the newly-released Triple Threat Muscle by Jason Ferruggia.

You can find it here – Triple Threat Muscle Review.

When you're done there, come back here and order through this link and I'll give you a super special bonus. Remember, it's $47 through tomorrow night. After that, plan on paying at least another $30.

This is good stuff. Seriously. Go check it out. Jason is one of the most respected personal trainers around. He knows his stuff.

You may find the video below "interesting," if not totally scary. I will say that I think most mainstream supplement companies make safe products. I'm not sure that they're effective, but at least they won't kill you.

However, who's to say that the latest diet pill wasn't made in somebody's bathtub?

This is NOT my condemnation of the supplement industry. Rather, it's simply a peek into how some of the unscrupulous companies operate. If you stick with name brand "basic" supplements like protein powders, creatine, amino acids, and vitamins and minerals, you're going to get what you pay for.

Beware the "proprietary blend." It might just be crap.

Here's an interview with Jason Ferruggia, creator of the famous Muscle Gaining Secrets muscle-building course. He has a new course out called Triple Threat Muscle that is on sale now for $47 through Thursday. Friday, the price goes up to $77.

At either price, it's a fantastic bargain. Jason provides real-deal muscle-building info.

Most guys are being told to follow bodybuilding splits, train multiple times a day, and other non-sense training tactics that don’t work. What tips do you have for people looking to build muscle as fast as possible?

The key to making consistent size gains is making consistent strength gains (in a hypertrophy rep range) while eating enough food and allowing enough time for recovery. You need to constantly be doing more weight or more reps. The body will respond to any given stimulus one time and one time only. If you place the same demands on it a second time (like pressing the same weight for the same reps) nothing will happen. You must always be forcing it to adapt and thus you must always ask it do something it isn’t used to.

The easiest way to do this is add more weight or do more reps with the same weight.
Aside from making consistent strength gains the next most important thing to consider is training frequency. To improve anything in life you need to do it frequently. Building muscle is no different. So you want to train a muscle as frequently as possible, while it is in a fresh and recovered state. This means that you should be training each body part once every 2-5 days, and not once a week like a lot of the muscle mags recommend. That’s too little frequency. The more times you can stimulate growth throughout the year the better. Obviously 104 growth stimulating workouts per year for each body part would be a lot better than 52.

I have seen the phrase “stimulate, don’t annihilate” on your blog in reference to training. Can you explain what you mean by this and the relation to training volume?

To elicit a training response you need to present the body with a stimulus that it isn’t used to. This stress will cause the body to adapt. The body adapts by building itself up bigger and stronger.

Where people go wrong is that they think they need to annihilate the muscle in order to elicit any type of response. This is completely counterproductive. When you annihilate the muscle with tons of sets and reps and intensity techniques like drop sets you drastically increase your recovery time. And as I mentioned previously, frequency is very important. So when you increase your recovery time you have to decrease your training time. You’re shooting yourself in the foot.

The key is to do just enough to stimulate size and strength gains but not annihilate yourself so that it takes forever to recover, or worse- that you put yourself in a state of overtraining.

Triple Threat Muscle is your new program. What separates this program from all the others and can you tell our readers why you created it?

My Muscle Gaining Secrets program is specifically geared toward skinny guys, hardgainers and beginners. This is more of an intermediate/advanced program that is more athletically based. So while the main focus is still on building muscle there is also a shift toward a bit more speed work, mobility and conditioning in Triple Threat Muscle.

The new program was created for the typical weekend warrior or Average Joe who wants to look and train like an athlete but doesn’t actually have the time or recovery ability to spend more than a few hours per week in the gym.

I spent the last two years experimenting on a wide group of individuals to come up with the most effective and fastest way to do this. Triple Threat Muscle is the result of two years of hard work and is based on all of my findings.

And finally, what general tips can you give to our readers who want transform their bodies?

• Strength train 3-4 days per week.
• Lift heavy and keep most of your sets in the range of 3-10 reps.
• Don’t go to failure.
• Train each body part 2-3 times per week.
• Don’t do more than 12-16 total sets per workout.
• Always strive to get stronger.
• Eat natural, organic foods and avoid anything processed.
• Sleep 8-10 hours per day.
• Minimize stress.
• Get out in the fresh air and sun more often.

Yesterday, I was doing some yard work. A week back, we bought some bushes and a tree for our never-ending backyard renovation. I had planted one bush and had to move some stuff around to make room for another bush planting.

That's when it happened.

As I picked up the sheet of plywood, my straightened right arm went "POP" at the elbow. Searing pain shot up and down my right arm. Not sure what the injury is…of course, I finished the job virtually one-handed, took some pain meds, and iced it several times before going to sleep last night.

This morning, I am in quite a lot of pain. There is a little constant pain, and when I bend my arm with my palm up, there is more (but manageable) pain. However, when I try to straighten (or bend) my arm with my palm down, oh boy, the pain is off the chart.

Off to the doctor I go! I'll try to figure out how in between dropping off the oldest boy at school, attending class with my youngest, and then talking with the tax guy at lunch time…I might get to the doctor this afternoon.

Darn it all. I really didn't need this!

Hi everybody, I wanted to share a little marital bliss with you (don't worry, it's not what you think!) – yesterday (St Patrick's Day) was my 9th wedding anniversary and the wife and I got a night away from the house and kids and spent a night on the town.

Needless to say, I'm stoked!

So I wanted to share some cool product news with you.

As you may know, I am the publisher of several muscle-building programs and I'm going to show you how to get them for dirt cheap.

The Hardgainer Manifesto normally goes for $37. You can see that here. But I've put together an experimental website where I've dropped the price to $27.

However, I'm going to show you how you can get the Hardgainer Manifesto PLUS Mega Arms for only $17.

Here's how –

Go to Mega Arms and order it for $7. In the order process, you'll be presented with a "One-Time Offer" for Hardgainer Manifesto for $10 (you won't find a lower price anywhere for material of this quality).

There, you're done. $17 for both manuals.

I won't be leaving the price for the "One-Time Offer" at $10 forever, so don't delay. Act now! Operators are standing by!!

(Not really, but I always wanted to say that.)

I also want to mention that if you sign up as a PAID Platinum member on the Muscle-Build.com User Forum, you can get lifetime access to the user forum and all that that entails, including access to everything I've written already PLUS anything I write in the future for Muscle-Build.com. There are two ways to pay – $5 a month or $27 once (do the math).
