I got this tip from Doberman Dan, author of Hyper Muscle Growth. This is a killer tip for boosting your muscle gains through the roof! It's something all of us successful hardgainers have done, but we often fail to mention it because it's so innocent and obvious that we forget to mention it in our newsletters, tips, blogs, and sites.
 

Dramatically Increase Your Calories for 3 Days

You will never achieve a positive nitrogen balance with a low calorie diet. It takes raw materials – carbs, protein and fats – to build new muscle mass and support recovery. Increasing your calories by 50% (from 3,0000 to 4,500 per day, for instance) for three days can spur growth while adding little if any bodyfat. The key is to limit the increased calories to a designated three day period; you'll be able to stimulate growth by improving muscle sensitivity to insulin and by providing more carbs for glycogen storage.

If you are in an overtrained state – and if you're not gaining any new muscle mass, this is probably the case – the additional calories will promote anabolism before fat storage is able to kick in. That's why you want to limit the 50% increase to a three day period. After that time, return to your typical intake of daily calories; you'll have stimulated new growth without adding unwanted fat.

"No freakin' way" is what I've heard virtually all of my life, pre-teen years included. This is why the "Bulk up and cut down" training systems are what you hear about all the time.

It's an easy sale, too. Your body is much more adept at building muscle OR cutting fat than it is trying to do both at the same time. In fact, cutting up and building muscle at the VERY same time is impossible.

However, that is not to say that, over the course of six weeks, you cannot gain muscle and lose body fat. You can start out at 200 pounds at 15% body fat and wind up at 200 pounds at 10%.

You see, you split your training into cycles. I've talked about this before. Interestingly, you can break up the cycles into even smaller chunks than I did in that old post – we're talking intra-day stuff here, folks.

When you do your weight training during the day, your muscles break down and are ready to build back up again immediately after your workout. They are super-efficient. This is the time when you run a calorie surplus (more on surpluses and deficits in a moment, and NOT of the federal budget variety!).

Most of the rest of the day, if you want to cut up, you can run a calorie deficit.

Over the course of a 24-hour period, you may need 3,000 calories, depending on your weight, activity, metabolism, etc. However, each hour is not simply 1/24th of a day, in caloric-need terms. At rest, you may need only several hundred calories for an 8-hour period.

During your peak activities, you may need A LOT more calories.

When you're running a calorie deficit, if you do it right, you're burning fat. Conversely, when you're running a surplus, you're setting the stage for anabolism (muscle growth).

You have to know how to do this. Timing, as they say, is everything.

And Vince Gironda was right after all – successful bodybuilding is 85% nutrition!

For more info on this, check out The Holy Grail. It's free, for a limited time, but with a catch. But, in my opinion, it's worth it.

HINT: It's about building LOTS of muscle and losing LOTS of body fat simultaneously. I've written about trying to build muscle and lose body fat at the same time – it's very difficult. But what I"m about to share with you will make the task immensely easier.

Stay tuned. More tonight or tomorrow.

When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Conan the Barbarian, starring bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger (multiple Mr Olympia winner, movie star, and now Governor of California).

I loved how he didn't take crap from anyone and if you got in his way, he ceremoniously lopped off your head! The movie was kind of crappy (looking back on it now), but the physical superiority displayed by Conan left quite an impression on me.

I remember reading Muscle & Fitness during those days; they ran a story on how Arnold trained for the movie (I kept those magazines – I'll have to dig it up). It was quite amazing. Just learning how to use that big-ass sword must have been grueling!

Now, Arnold was in great shape, having won the Mr O for his last time in 1980. However, he obviously trained for the part, learning how to wield that giant sword, battle, and otherwise beat the tar out of his enemies.

Back in Conan's day, there weren't any weights to lift; those warriors trained hard, but they trained in a primitive way, using whatever implements and heavy stuff they had laying around. If you want to build a body like Conan, you ought to train the same way.

Lean Hybrid Muscle is a system I ran across that was put together by 2 strength athletes who wanted to build muscle and lose body fat at the same time.

Why do I mention this? Their system is very similar to how Conan, the vikings, and other warriors must have trained back in their day. In fact, modern strongmen often compete in events that mimic ancient strength exhibitions. Mike Westerdal, of Critical Bench fame, and Elliot Hulse, a modern-day strongman, are giving away a free copy of their "The Warrior Physique" where they show you specific training exercises that accomplish both muscle growth and fat loss.

You can get your copy of The Warrior Physique right here.

I love this program! It's full of unconventional exercises that are sure to build the body you want in record time. Get it now while it's still free.
