The Missing Ingredient for Adding Muscle Mass
So check this out.
After bungee jumping in New Zealand I explored through the Ruakuri Caves down in Waitomo.
Man it was cool, felt like something out of a sci-fi movie.
Glowing rock that looked like marble curtains, hundreds of stalagmites & stalactites.
Plus thousands of nifty lil glow worms.
Interesting part was how water stress formed almost all of it.
Rushing water from underground rivers would wear away at the rock, making the caves larger.
Dripping water from the ground expanded the stalactites.
FYI – It takes 100 years for a stalactite to grow 1 cm. Yikes.
Did you know your body is molded in a similar fashion?
When it comes to packing on lean hard muscle, your body shapes and sculpts based on the STRESS you place on it.
Most guys think size comes from direct stress to your muscles… nope.
While that is certainly one component, it leaves out a whole bunch more.
That’s why “feeling sore” is a terrible indicator of your training effectiveness & progress.
Two other growth components are your central nervous system (which controls your muscles) and endocrine system (hormones).
So you can workout all day until your blue in the face, but if you’re stressing the wrong parts of your body, or using an incorrect amount of stress, you’ll get stuck in workout limbo.
Now if you’re training is designed to incorporate all these components (like A Spartan Rises is) you’ll start seeing your body change faster than you thought possible.
AND
You need LESS time to train cuz now you’re giving your body exactly what is needs to mold and re-shape.
Just like Ryan H. found out and posted the other day,
“Let me tell you guys .. I work 40 hrs a week and then I start working on my business which is another solid 30-50 hrs a week.
Didn’t like how what little muscle I had was disappearing so was excited I found this program. I’ve put on about 30lbs so far in about 3months or so.
However, I bust it at the gym and have recently been doing bonus workouts to hit lagging areas for me.
I still eat pizza but in nyc I walk five miles daily.. I’ve never lifted before; never knew what I was doing.
Great program.”
