Muscle Gain Truth by Sean Nalewanyj – Does it really work?

Find out if Muscle Gain Truth really does deserve its industry standard status before you make your decision…

From the desk of: Mike, Owner of Muscle-Body.com

Re: Is The Muscle Gain Truth by Sean Nalewanyj really worth it?

Dear fellow muscle building enthusiast,

I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that the muscle building industry has some of the most jaded con-artists in the world trying to sell you hyped up useless products and information.

I mean, it’s at the point where you just don’t know who to trust. Everyone I know has a different opinion on what works and what doesn’t because they’ve all been told different things. It’s ridiculous that something as simple as building muscle has been turned into the biggest confusion of the century.

No wonder there are thousands of people who just can’t seem to get anywhere in their quest for a better body. They obviously don’t have the right information, and you can hardly blame them.

So is "The Muscle Gain Truth" another one of these hyped up muscle products?

First, let’s start with how I got here, and why I’m writing this…

It would be a few months ago now that I was browsing the web when I got an e-mail from a friend raving about this incredible muscle building guide called "The Muscle Gain Truth", by Sean Nalewanyj.

Now, my friend is actually someone whose opinion I trust, which is the only reason I clicked on the link in the first place.

I already had heaps of bodybuilding information I was going through so, you can imagine my thoughts when I got my friend’s e-mail recommending Muscle Gain Truth. As I say, it was only because he was normally spot-on that I even clicked.

When I reached Sean’s website, I was actually pretty motivated by his story, and even more impressed with some of the features that his guide appeared to have – powerful training techniques, simple nutrtion recommendations. etc. etc…

But, again, I have to be honest with you…

At this point, I still thought to myself, "nice story, lots of features, this could really work… but yet again, I already have too much information to go through already… so forget it".

And that was that. I left the site… but a few weeks later my friend e-mailed me, letting me know he had changed his workout routine to Sean’s method and was experiencing great results.

So I thought, OK, fair enough. Why don’t I email Sean and ask him to comment on a few questions on my site. See whether he really knows what he is talking about.

Within 24 hours I had a response from Sean saying,"Sure, No problem."

With that I was pretty impressed. Most people just tell me they are too busy and don’t have the time.

So, I waited to see what he would write. Within another 24 hours he had commented on 3 questions and his answers were fantastic. Immediately I thought "Ok, This guy knows what he is talking about." So, I decided to give him a chance, and purchase Muscle Gain Truth…

So what’s the verdict you say?

What I read in Sean’s guide was nothing short of amazing. His ability to take muscle building and define it in simplistic terms was a breath of fresh air. It was so different to anything I had ever read on how to build muscle.

I really liked his reasoning on how the 3 sets of 10 or weight progression type training is not the way to build muscle. He outlined a new training method which when I read it just made so much more sense.

Also, his breakdown of nutrition and how to eat for muscle gain really sorted out the confusion in my head. I had so much garbage information floating around in my thoughts that I had no idea what to eat and what not to eat!

So, to answer the question. "No, The Muscle Gain Truth is not just another hyped up bodybuilding product. It is the real deal!"

There is one other thing I have been using along with the Muscle Gain Truth Package which has been a big help to me, and that’s an ebook called Health and Fitness Tips.

It has exercise descriptions, benefits, and how-to info on the muscle groups outlined in Sean’s guide. It has really helped me to understand why I’m doing an exercise and how to do it for maximum gain. It also includes tips on toning, cardio, diet, and has a great calorie counter section which shows you the Calorie Count and Grams of Fat included in common foods we eat like Breakfast Cereal, Vegetables, Chicken and Meat, Fruit, Alcohol etc. This has helped me to work out quickly what I am going to eat instead of spending half an hour reading the labels of every food item I pick up.

The Health and Fitness Tips ebook is fantastic in conjunction with Sean’s guide which is why I am offering it as a one time bonus to anyone who orders Muscle Gain Truth from the link below.

To get the Health and Fitness Tips ebook I use, there are three steps you need to take…

1. Click on the link below

2. Order Muscle Gain Truth

3. Send me your receipt – forward it to mike@muscle-body.com – and I will send you the Health and Fitness Tips ebook, as soon as I have confirmed your order.

P.S. Honestly, this is one of the best guides available that gives you the NO B.S. answers to the questions that matter most for someone starting weight training.

P.S.S. I believe Sean has a limited time offer available to save you money right now. If you get to the page and it is not there, than sorry you missed out.

A Weight Training Schedule for Real People

I’m guessing that you do not have vast stretches of unfilled time in your life.

I’m guessing that you would not enjoy spending most of your waking hours in a gym, even if you had leisure to do so.

I’m guessing that your goal in taking up weight lifting is not to become the next Mr. or Miss Universe. (If it is, then you’ve probably researched what it takes to get there and already know more than I can teach you.)

In other words, you’re a real person, with demands placed on you by job, family, friends, the house, the yard, the dog … the mundane entanglements of modern life go on and on. But you also know that you need to get in shape. And even if your plans don’t include winning a string of bodybuilding contests, you can imagine how great it would feel to step out into the world with a more sharply defined and muscled body.

The good news is, you don’t need to live at the gym or put the rest of your life on hold to achieve a "hard bodied" look in a relatively short amount of time. What you do need is two to three hours of working out with weights per week. This is the total time per week, mind you; in practice, you would chop it into three parts–45 minutes or an hour of weight lifting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, for example. Between those days you would either rest or do some moderate cardio exercise such as brisk walking or bicycling.

Carving out even a couple of extra hours in a busy week might seem difficult for some people. But how many hours of TV are you watching? How much time do you currently spend surfing the Web? Aren’t there two or three hours you could easily reclaim from these (mostly) unproductive activities?

Two to three hours a week, spread over three non-consecutive days, yields a practical and effective weight training schedule for real people.

The keys to making this schedule work — and getting the body you want in the quickest amount of time — are persistence, consistency and "lifting smart."

Persistence – This means getting yourself out to the gym, or over to that workout bench in your garage, every workout day. No exceptions. You should take your three-times-a-week appointment with your muscles as seriously as you would a meeting with your boss or a rendezvous with your significant other. Once you skip a day, it becomes easier to miss the next … and the next and the next.

Consistency — This means performing your weight training exercises correctly and fully at every session. Merely putting in an appearance at the gym won’t do much for you if you allow yourself too many slack days when you sleepwalk through your workout, or start dropping some of your sets or repetitions because you "just don’t feel like it." The sure way to progress steadily toward your muscle building goals is to engage every ounce of mind, body and willpower, from the beginning to the end of your workout slot.

Lifting Smart — This means learning as much as you can about your muscles and then concentrating on the weight lifting exercises that will build or sculpt the parts of your body you are most interested in developing, without neglecting the other parts.

"Lifting smart" also means varying your exercises from one workout session to another whenever it makes sense. For example, one exercise will work a muscle in one direction–direction "A" –while another one will work the same muscle in the opposite direction–direction "B." Usually, the smartest approach in such a case is to alternate the exercises. Instead of performing both of them during the same workout, do "A" on Monday, "B" on Wednesday, "A" again on Friday," then "B" on the following Monday, an so on.

The main lesson I hope you take from all this is that the quality of your commitment to improving your body is more important than the particular number of minutes or hours you allot to it. That’s what a good weight training schedule is really all about.

Weight Training for Muscle Gain – Don’t Fool Yourself – This Stuff Works!

Weight training involves the use of equipment that enables variable resistance. This resistance can come in the form of “free weights” like barbells and dumbells, machines that use cables or pulleys to help you lift the weight and bodyweight exercises like pull-ups or dips.

Free Weights vs. Machines vs. Bodyweight Exercises

For maximum muscle gain, the focus of your workouts should consist of free weight exercises. Not machines or bodyweight exercises. This is not to say that you should not use machines or bodyweight exercises, but they should not be the focus of your training. To get an effective, muscle blasting workout, you must stimulate the most muscle fibers as possible, and machines do not do this.

The main reason for this is a lack of stabilizer and synergist muscle development. Stabilizer and synergist muscles are supporting muscles that assist the main muscle in performing a complex lift. The more stabilizers and synergists worked, the more muscle fibers stimulated. Multi-jointed free weight exercises like the bench press, require many stabilizer and synergistic muscle assistance to complete the lift. On the other hand doing a bench press using a machine will need almost no stabilizer assistance.

Since machines are locked into a specific range of motion and help to support the weight along that path, they fail to stimulate the muscles that surround the area you are working (stabilizers). This is a mistake. If your stabilizer muscles are weak, then the major muscle group will never grow!

Free weight exercises like the dumbbell press or squat, for example, put a very large amount of stress on supporting muscle groups. That’s why you will get fatigued faster and not be able to lift as much weight as you did on the machine. But you will gain more muscle, become stronger very quickly and have a true gauge of your strength.

If you use machines in your program, they should be used to work isolated areas and only after all multi-jointed exercises have been completed.

Beginners should begin with a limited combination of machine exercises, bodyweight exercises and multi-jointed free weight exercises. Before increasing the weight levels, they should work on becoming familiar with the proper form and execution of each. Soon, bodyweight exercises will become insufficient to stimulate growth and they will need to focus on more free weight exercises.

Multi-Jointed Exercises

The exercises that work the large muscle groups are called compound (or multi-joint) movements that involve the simultaneous stimulation of many muscle groups. These compound exercises should be the foundation of any weight training program because they stimulate the most amount of muscle in the least amount of time.

Here are the basic movements:

* Bench Presses (works the chest, shoulders, tricep)

* Overhead Presses (shoulders, tricep)

* Pull-ups/Barbell Rows (back, bicep)

* Squats (legs, lower back)

* Deadlifts (legs, back, shoulders)

* Bar Dips (shoulders, chest, arms)

They will overload your entire skeletal and muscular system like no machine could ever do, giving you and effective workout in a very short period of time. If you can only do a few exercises, then do these. They have been proven to encourage muscle and strength gain unlike any other exercises.

Lift Heavy Weight

To build mass, you must weight train with heavy weights. To consider a weight heavy, you should only be able to do a maximum of 8-12 reps before your muscles temporarily fail. A weight is considered “light” if you can do more than 15 reps before muscle fatigue sets in.

Heavy weights stimulate more muscle fibers than lighter weights. It’s that simple. More muscle stimulation means more muscle growth.

Don’t Overtrain

Heavy weight training puts a huge strain on your body, so adequate rest and recuperation after your workouts is essential. If you are prone to train too often, several things happen:

You don’t give your muscles enough time to recuperate between workouts. If your muscles have not repaired themselves, you will not be at maximum strength for your next workout. Rest is essential. Other than eating, this should be your main focus.

You are setting yourself up for burnout or an injury. You must pace yourself. You want to be able to keep this up for a long time, not burnout before you reach your goals.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not grow while working out; you only grow when you are resting.

Below is an example mass workout.

Wednesday (legs, abs)

* Heavy Squats, leg extension superset

* Seated Calve Raises, 4 strips sets

* Crunches (4 sets of 20)

——-

Friday (chest, shoulder, triceps, abs)

* Flat bench press, incline dumbbell flyes superset

* Shoulder press, side raises superset

* Tricep pushdowns

* Reverse incline leg raises (3 sets of 20)

——

Sunday (back, biceps, abs)

* Wide grip pull-ups, latbar pulldown superset

* EZ bar bicep curl, incline dumbbell curls superset

* Crunches (4 sets of 20)

Nothing fancy, but effective.

Bodybuilder’s Secret: Learn The Best Way To Build Muscle & Lose Fat At The Same Time

You know, we’ve all heard that you can either bulk or cut, but you can’t do both at the same time.

And so we believe that this is true, so we don’t even try to understand how it’s possible to gain muscle, lose fat and get ripped when we’re working out. But it can be done, and many guys are doing it. And you know what, it’s great for summer when we’ve got to show off our bodies!

So in this article, we’re going to talk about how to bulk and cut, and get results.

We need to understand that it’s going to be a combination of a good workout, with a very precise diet plan.

It takes a bit of adjustment to our diet, but when you get it, you’ll find that you’re able to show off your muscles, as you’ll have less fat covering them all up!

But you have to do it in a specific way. Here’s the scoop.

The first step is a great workout. If you’re not doing this, the rest of the plan won’t work.

You’d want to workout a muscle group, with good intensity every 5 to 7 days.

Some do supersets, or some list to failure over 6-15 reps, the optimal partly depends on your body type. This will stimulate your muscles to grow, yet allowing enough time for the muscle to grow between gym sessions, so you actually gain muscle bulk..

There’s more that we can go on about to get bigger quicker, but we won’t delve into the details here.

Now, what about the diet? Listen up as this is where you can make it or break it.

You need to have a diet that:

1. Provide enough protein to gain muscle,

2. Stimulate testosterone production,

3. Stimualtes a high metabolism, and,

4. Avoiding the wrong type of calories that cause the opposite effects to the above

But how’s this done?

Here are the 5 steps in your diet to start this process today:

1. Eat lean sources of protein. Think about foods such as egg, fish, lean chicken, and whey protein. Have a good portion of this straight after your workout.

2. Thinks about the monounsaturated fats. Why? These stimulate testosterone production. They’re found in avocado, and extra virgin olive oil. Don’t go overboard as they contain dense calories. Just try 2 teaspoons a day of olive oil for example.

3. Straight after your workout, have a high GI carbohydrate, such foods as honey or jam. This will satisfy your sugar fix, yes. But also it will help you absorb the protein and creatine (if you’re taking this).

4. Have no high GI carbs in the evenings before bed. If you’re doing this, this may be the only thing you have to do to get your body going in the right direction. Your metabolism is slowing, so no high GI carbs at this time please! It’s the worse time to have it, and some guys get fat just with this one action.

5. Eat 6 meals a day, as it increases your metabolism. Many Hollywood celebrities do this, as it works. But keep the meals reasonable. Eat til you’re 80% full, not excessively, and you’ll feel more even during the day – no hunger pangs and no binging.

Got it?

If you want to get ripped in no time, and be healthy at the same time, have a look through these rules carefully.

There are more tips available on my website to refine your diet further, for example, if you’re finding that you’re not gaining muscle despite a good diet, or, you’re putting on fat at the same time as muscle.

So get to it, and eat and train well, and transform your body within weeks.
