Muscle in a Month
Dear friend,
Recently I was out with some friends at a local club. There was a group of girls hanging out next to us.
One of the girls... a very attractive woman... kept looking over in my direction.
I looked back at her and smiled.
Within a few minutes, she came over and whispered into my ear... "Wow, you've got a great body... you obviously like to work out".
I nodded my head and said "Yes". And for the next 15 minutes or so... her and her friends were paying attention to JUST me.
They were talking about how good I looked. They said they liked my muscular build and big arms.
My buddies... who were not nearly as built as me... were completely left out of the conversation. All the girls were focused on ME.
"And I loved the attention"
One of the girls asked if I'd make a muscle with my bicep... which I was happy to do. The girls... all at the same time... cheered in approval. One of the girls grabbed my bicep and tried to put her hand around it.
They were all loving my body. And I was eating it up.
Keep in mind, this was at a popular club where girls were being hit on all night. And I was the one getting all the attention.
Other guys were buying drinks for women to get their attention.
My muscular build was doing ALL the work for me. My physique was naturally turning heads and getting me noticed.
It's not uncommon for me to go out for an evening and come home with several phone numbers from attractive women.
And it doesn't matter where I am. I can go shopping at a mall, out to a nightclub, or even shopping at the grocery store... and women still turn and look my way.
Yes, I can admit that having a really muscular body makes me feel good about myself.
Now... if you would have asked me if this was even possible a few years ago, I would have said "No way."
"I Haven't Always Been In Great Shape..."
In fact, there was a time I didn't feel very confident at all in my appearance.
It was because I had a VERY average body. I pretty much hated how I looked. I never wanted to take my shirt off at the beach or pool. Because I had almost NO muscle... I wore clothes that hid my body. Things like baggy t-shirts and huge track suit bottoms.
I felt like a prisoner in my own body. I wanted a muscular, attractive body that stood out. But the problem was... I had no idea how to get one.
I Had To Learn These Secrets Over
Time... Through Lots Of Trial And Error!
Several years ago in my life, I reached a point where I was so desperate to gain muscle... that I made a decision to figure it out for myself. I went on a personal mission, and spent years reading and studying all of the books and muscle magazines I could afford to buy.
And guess what? None of it worked very well for me. It was all hit or miss. It worked a little here and there... but I still knew something was missing.
I tried all sorts of routines and exercises... and all kinds of expensive supplements. It was always the same story. None of them produced results.
But I soon learned something pretty amazing. I found out that it wasn't my fault I wasn't gaining muscle.
How I Discovered The Secrets
That Changed My Body And My Life...
Back in college, I didn't have a lot of time to work out. I was taking 5 classes and also working after school, stocking shelves at a local grocery store.
And because of the long hours I worked... I started experimenting with my workouts... trying to make them more efficient and effective. I tried all sorts of weird tricks and unusual things.
Since I wasn't having any luck with what I learned from the muscle mags... I purposely started doing the opposite! I started doing less reps, less sets, less cardio... basically I started doing the opposite of what everyone else was doing!
I kept at it and soon, changes started happening. I started feeling stronger. And when I looked in the mirror, I noticed I was looking more built. Within 3 weeks of my new experimental routine... I had actually lost fat around my midsection... but gained muscle on my chest, arms, and legs!
I stepped on the scale and it said I had gained 10 pounds. But I looked leaner and more muscular. I could actually start to see my abs!
And my pants were not as tight. My biceps showed through the sleeves of my shirt, they were definitely noticeable. Before I knew it... I was getting compliments on how well I looked.
My female classmates started to look my way a little more. And a bunch of my friends started asking me what I was doing. They said I looked more muscular... more jacked and shredded.
I Was Able To Get Rid of The Baggy Clothes and Feel Proud of My New Muscular Body!
After just a few weeks using some pretty unusual techniques and tricks... I went from being depressed because of my average body... to being confident and proud of my new physique.
I looked better and felt more attractive. I was more self-confident around others and felt better about myself.
Better yet... I was in and out of the gym in under 45 minutes and only trained a few times a week.
This ALL happened as a result of a few tips and tricks I used in the gym, to cut down the time I was spending!
As I improved my body, people started asking me what I was doing. So I wrote down my routine and gave it to 4 of my friends to follow.
A few weeks later, 3 of them told me that they were already seeing great results. (One of my friends didn't do anything with the program, he said he was too busy).
You Don't Have To Workout
For Hours and Hours Each Week
The one biggest truth I learned about building muscle is this:
More is NOT better when it comes to working out... BETTER is better!
It's not how much time you spend in the gym... it's HOW you spend that time.
Too much working out will cause overtraining... a condition which stops your body from gaining muscle. And that will leave you unmotivated. You won't want to train or work out.
So I purposefully designed this program so that you get more results in less time.
Between classes and work... I didn't have a lot of time to spend in the gym. And if you're like most people today.. you also don't have a lot of time to spend working out.
That's not a problem because I focus your attention on the few things that really work... and then you drop everything else that doesn't matter.
I've already used my own body as the experiment.
I'm not a bodybuilder, athlete, or competitive powerlifter.
I'm just a normal, average guy who happened to stumble upon an amazing, but weird "trick" that allowed me to pack on 10 pounds of muscle in a month.
With a lot of hard work... and a little luck... I've "cracked the code" to gaining muscle mass ... and you can do the same thing.
In fact, I want to prove it to you.
Say Goodbye To The Body That's Holding You Back
From Feeling Confident and Attractive
Because there's so many scam programs and bogus supplements online... you might be having trouble gaining muscle like I did. It can be confusing and frustrating because there's so much conflicting advice out there.
I learned that just about everything I've read in the muscle magazines is dead wrong. The information is bad information. Years of this misinformation is why you look and feel the way you do.
The things I did that actually produced results... well, they were the total opposite of most weight training routines and diets you read about in the muscle mags. And that's why I want to tell you about this.
I Learned That It Wasn't My
Fault... And It's Not Your Fault Either!
I never got results until I started doing almost the exact opposite of what I read in the muscle mags!
You've been lied to and misled by all the muscle mags and supplement companies.
That's why I can tell you, from personal experience, that you're NEVER going to learn the truth about gaining muscle from the big magazines or supplement companies.
Their job is to sell supplements, NOT show you how to train correctly.
This information is closely-guarded because supplement companies can make more money by selling supplements than by showing you how to train and eat correctly.
That's Why The Supplement Companies And
Muscle Mags Don't Want You To Know This
It took me a few years of experimenting with my workouts, using some weird and unusual tips and tricks... before I started really seeing results.
In fact, this one weird tip I learned produced more results than ALL the supplements and muscle mag workouts I tried before.
And once you learn it... you can feel confident knowing that you won't be stuck in a body that can cause you so much fear, anxiety, and frustration.
So you won't be self-conscious and worried every time you take your shirt off at the beach.
So What Is The Absolute Best Way To Build Muscle?
How would your life be different right now if you gained an extra 10 pounds of muscle in the next month? What if you had a body that girls loved and guys were jealous of?
Would you feel more confident? Would you feel more confortable taking your shirt off at the beach? Look, the truth is... the way you feel about your body is important.
A body you're not happy with can leave you feeling unattractive and self-conscious about how you look. It can make it so you hate what you see when you look in the mirror. Or even worse... maybe you don't even look in the mirror anymore.
You don't want to be seen without a shirt at all. You're self conscious because you're afraid of what other people will think when they see your body. So going to the beach almost never happens.
Not to mention, it also effects how you feel when you're intimate with your significant other. If you don't feel good about your body... it's going to come through when you're close to them. I should know, that's been the case for me personally.
I've spent the last few years learning everything there is to know about building muscle in a lot less time. And I was able to come up with a simple trick that helped me gain 10 pounds of muscle mass in just 30 days.
How To Transform Your Physique Into
One That Turns Heads And Gets Attention
For a long time my friends have been saying "You have to write a book... You have to write a book..." So that's what I've done. Over the last few years, I've taken the time to write down everything that I've learned and discovered... and I put it in plain, easy-to-understand language.
I've taken all the training and nutrition secrets I've learned... and created a simple system for packing on muscle that you can use as a shortcut. You can skip the learning curve and trial and error... because I'll teach you what works and what definitely doesn't. I can show you the safest and most effective way to get a body you're proud to show off.
So if you're ready to finally say goodbye to the challenges like bad training methods and poor food choices that are holding you back from gaining muscle... that can ALL change right now...
Here's How To Gain 10 Pounds

Looking Better, Feeling
Better, And Getting Noticed More!
How does that make you feel? Feeling more confident, more attractive, having a lot more self esteem.
You're no longer embarrassed taking your shirt off. Walking the beach with more pride and confidence... showing off your new physique while walking the sand... having others admire your six-pack abs.
Having more time to spend with loved ones because you're not exercising for hours. So you have more peace of mind because you feel like you're not choosing the gym over your friends. What if you felt more attractive, sexier, and more outgoing.
Imagine The Thrill Of Having A Body That
Turns Heads And Stands Out In A Crowd!
Maybe it would ignite the passion in your current relationship, making it more special and more romantic.

Using this program will help you eliminate the mistakes that are destroying your chances of gaining muscle — so you can finally transform yourself into the muscular, attractive person you've always wanted to be.
The sad truth is that most men will never have this kind of success. They just settle for the average physique they have.
These are secrets for gaining muscle that most guys just don't know.. .and will never know.
And the main reason why most guys never see results, year after year, is because they read too much false or conflicting information and as a result... stay stuck in a rut with the same ineffective program that doesn't work.
Please, don't let this happen to you.
You'll Learn Why Most Guys FAIL To
Build Muscle... And What To Do About It
Clearly, the fastest way to gain muscle is to copy a method that's already been proven to work. That way, there's no guess-work at all. I believe that if I can harness your focus like a laser, you can spend your time and energy on what works... and drop the rest.
That's the power of it and why you'll see so many results, so fast. I cut out all the trial and error for you... you're skipping the learning curve and doing only what matters.

FEAR That's Destroying Your Self-Confidence

You can use this program at your current gym... or at home if you work out there. All you need is some basic free weights that you can find at all gyms. If you work out at home, you can use these techniques with some basic free weights like dumbbells and barbells.
You Don't Need Any Special Equipment
Or Machines
Look... it also doesn't matter if you're man, woman, young or old...
None of that matters.
The ONLY thing that matters... is your desire to take action. To start doing something
You get a plan that will save you time and frustration and that will get you results.
By modeling and copying other successful people, you can cut out a lot of trial and error. This saves you a ton of time because you can skip the learning curve that comes with figuring it out yourself.
By using this program, you actually save more money and time in the long run by learning from someone that's already figured this out.
Here's Exactly What You Get When
You Invest In This Program
If you want to gain 10 pounds (or more) of muscle in the next month, this ebook will take all of the guesswork out of it.
I'll tell you the right foods, right amount, and right times to eat.
And I'll show you the right exercises, reps, and sets and how to workout so you gain some quick muscle.
"Muscle in a Month" is a 120-page PDF downloadable e-book.
The e-book is easily downloadable with the click of a mouse and you can save it to your computer, print it off, and put it in a three ring binder to read at your convenience. That means you are only minutes away from getting started right now.
So What's The Bottom Line?
How Much Does This Program Cost?
I've worked very hard and spent a lot of money to learn what I've learned. In fact, I've probably spent over $2,000 on the books, videos, and magazines I've used over the years. And like I said earlier, NONE of them helped me much. It was pretty much by accident that I stumbled upon these tips.
So if you learned what I've learned... you won't be wasting your time, effort, and energy in the gym. And what price can you put on cutting out hours of needless sets, reps, and exercises by focusing on what gets you the best results in the least amount of time? What is your time worth?

P.S. You may be wondering why I'm revealing all of my secrets to you.
The answer is simple. I'm sick and tired of watching nice, regular people like yourself be misled by what currently passes as workout advice out there.
I really felt that something needed to be done. I can no longer just sit by and watch while you keep getting ripped off by all these hyped-up supplement ads or steriod-backed workout programs the pro bodybuilders use in the muscle mags.
I blame a lot of it on the big companies running expensive TV commercials, pushing their products on you. Or the magazines that are nothing more than sales catalogs for expensive supplements.
I'm fed up with all the hype and misinformation and decided to do something about it.
So I'm trying to bring the truth about building muscle to as many people as I can reach.

PREPARATION FOR MY FIRST COMPETITION
My first competition was April 17, 2010, at the Fitness Atlantic in Connecticut.
The anticipation is something to be told as it actually began several months before the event.
I never envisioned myself doing a figure competition until I became part of the Cathy Savage Fitness Program.
My intention was get some fitness modeling work when I first signed up with the program.
To be quite honest, I never thought I could get up on stage with a packed audience and bright lights before me and remain with any sense of calm.I trained very diligently. My diet was very clean eating. I allowed myself only health snacks for several months. On this journey to the competition there were many days that I experienced self doubt about being confident enough to go on stage and how and what may go wrong once I’ve gotten there. I have always been the type of person that likes to follow through with anything I begin. I enjoy facing and overcoming new fears and challenges as I feel there will be one less obstacle to keep me from my goals, and in the end it will make me that much stronger.
Mind over matter is what it comes down to.
As the weeks went on, I began to see a wonderful transformation. My body was now much leaner and there was clearly much more muscle definition. It’s as if my body fat was just melting off like magic. I felt stronger in many ways. I realized that this transformation did not happen overnight. Getting ready for my first competition took a lot of focus, discipline and much determination. Preparation for a challenging event must consist of those three things if you want to reach your goal.
Time management is also very important.
Shopping for food and preparing meals, getting your daily workouts in and also learning to balance all of the other responsibilities going on in your life, especially if you have a family to care for as well.
It is an awesome feeling to have your mind and body working to its fullest potential, it’s the ultimate challenge.
My family and friends realized just how serious I was about fitness when I decided to compete.
They respected my decision and they knew I had put my heart and soul into the preparation. I wanted to do what had to be done in order to be ready and feel confident when it was show time. It meant a lot to me to know that I did all that I could.
The funny thing is that during this journey, I realized what I was made of. I found my strengths and weaknesses. Everyday I would work harder to enhance my strengths and eliminate another weakness. I was very concerned about the posing. I know this was crucial to have a positive placing in the competition. I tried very hard and practiced just about everyday. Most non-competitors would imagine it to be such a simple thing. It’s quite the opposite as it is all about technique. My back pose was the most challenging.
I had to think of doing a lat pull-down, but at the same time separate my shoulder blades. I was told it could take up to a year to perfect this pose. Practicing everyday is key to nailing the poses. Everything must come together once you set foot on that stage.
Every thought imaginable comes into your mind before you go on stage. I must admit that reconsidering what I was doing entered my mind as there was one girl before me. What a feeling that was! I had to talk to myself and ready myself mentally for what I was about to do. I could have become a deer in headlights for all I knew.
I would like to mention how organized and professionally planned the Fitness Atlantic Competition was. I was a newcomer in the competing world and I must say that Brian Cannone’s event has left a wonderful impression on me that will last a lifetime.
I recommend anyone who hasn’t competed to try The Fitness Atlantic as their first show. It will bring the best out in you and make you shine like a star. Thanks for the wonderful memory, Brian. I'll see you again next time!

Monica Brant Joins WBFF
In what can only be described as one of the most shocking fitness industry news developments in the history of women’s physique sports, Monica Brant announced tonight in Calgary, Alberta on center stage at the WBFF Alberta Championships, that she has left the IFBB after 16 years and will now be competing in the WBFF.
Brant will make her WBFF Pro Debut on September 18th in Toronto at the WBFF World Championships. On why she made the move at this point in her career Brant explained that there were a number of factors that contributed to the decision and that it had been coming for a long time. Insisting on remaining positive and focussing on the future Brant explained that is was the unique opportunities that the WBFF provides their athletes that sealed the deal, “I love competing and I love interacting with the fans, and the WBFF is offering me every opportunity possible to do that as well as work with the competitors so they can benefit from my experience on and off stage. Rather than try to push me off to pasture, Paul Dillett sees the value in having someone with my experience being actively involved with the WBFF and its athletes. He respects his athletes and truly cares about their success on and off the stage and you can see that in all that he does. Paul works directly with many of the industries magazines to ensure WBFF models and athletes are being published and he also works with his sponsors to create opportunities for athletes there as well. You can also see it at their contests. The Venue’s are all top quality and the attention to detail with the stage production is remarkable. The stage presentation at their shows are very professionally done and the athletes are treated with tremendous consideration and respect at all times. I am just happy to have found a home that affords me a chance to give back and continue to do so for years to come.”
Paul Dillett, CEO and President of the WBFF, spoke with Bodysport by telephone from his hotel room in Calgary to counter Brant’s statements with his own glowing endorsement of the fitness industry Icon. “I have known Monica on a personal and professional level for many many years and we are really excited to have her in the WBFF. As a competitor in the WBFF Monica will be treated with the same respect that all of our athletes are and will be judged fairly along with the other competitors, just as we do at each and every show. But Monica is not just a great competitor, she is the most prolific female role model in the entire fitness industry. Our fans and competitors will be thrilled to see her compete, but it’s what she brings to the WBFF beyond the stage that I am most excited about. Monica is a role model as a person, an athlete, a businesswoman, and she possesses a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience that is simply unequalled that she wants to share with our competitors. I want to make sure she has every opportunity to do that for our athletes now and for years to come. Having her choose the WBFF as her new home is essentially her endorsement of what we are doing now and what our future holds and I am very proud of that."

Rapid Fat Loss
Fat-Loss Circuit Training - Now is the time to try this
revolutionary fat-burning, metabolism-boosting training technique!
By my friend Nick Nilsson
Experience a training technique so powerful you can literally
FEEL your metabolism firing up and burning fat!
Want to burn off that holiday weight gain as quickly as
humanly possible? Fat-Loss Circuit Training is the BEST place
to start.
Fat-Loss Circuit Training is a program of my own invention. I developed it for
losing fat quickly. It's challenging but very effective!
It's also one of the core components of my extremely powerful
"Metabolic Surge - Rapid Fat Loss" program available here:
Fat-Loss Circuit Training
Fat-Loss Circuit Training is very simple once you get the hang
of it, but it can be one of the most demanding (and most
extraordinarily effective) styles of training you can do.
If you're familiar with normal circuit training (with timed,
light-weight intervals), please put aside any notions you
might have of how this program works. You will not only be
harnessing the muscle-building and metabolism-stimulating
power of intense, full-set weight training (NOT the typical
light-weight, timed intervals of normal circuit training),
you will also be incorporating the great calorie-burning
effects of cardiovascular training.
The proper combination of the two styles (weights and cardio)
into one workout is, quite simply, phenomenal for fat burning.
In order to use Fat-Loss Circuit Training, you will need access
to both weight equipment and cardio equipment (and/or benches
or stairs), preferably located in fairly close proximity to
each other.
This type of training is harder to do in a crowded gym as it
will involve you moving back and forth quickly between
different pieces of equipment. If someone is waiting to use
your cardio machine the moment you step off, it will defeat
the purpose of the workout. This technique is best used in a
fairly uncrowded gym where you have more freedom to use
equipment or, better yet, in a home gym with weights and
cardio equipment and no one waiting for anything!
If you do work out in a crowded gym, I will tell you exactly
how to get around it.
How The Training Works:
- Essentially, this is combined circuit/interval training.
- You will be going back and forth between your weight
training exercises and one cardio exercise for the
duration of the workout.
- Your rest period for weights will be your cardio and your
rest period for cardio will be your weights.
- You will be doing some sort of activity for your entire
workout without any break!
This combination is very effective for a number of reasons:
- It forces your body to burn calories continuously during
the workout.
- It utilizes resistance training and cardio training so you
get all the benefits of both in one workout.
- By forcing your body to work like this, you dramatically
increase your metabolism leading to increased fat burning
long after the workout (more so than either weights or
cardio alone).
- It saves time - you get both your weights and cardio in
the same amount of time as your regular workout.
- You will still be able to use heavy weights in your weight
training, helping to preserve muscle mass.
How To Do It:
Step 1 - Set Up
For the most efficient workout possible, try to have most or
all of your exercises pre-set and ready to go. The less time
you spend on preparation during your workout itself, the more
effective that workout will be, especially since you want to
be continually active throughout the workout. You can use any
type of cardio that is convenient and enjoyable to you, be it
a machine, stair stepping, or even a skipping rope.
If you are working out in a crowded gym, try to claim an
area for yourself and focus on dumbell exercises. You won't
have to wait in line to use any weight machines that way.
If you don't have access to convenient cardio machines,
you're going to have to go low-tech. You'll need to do stair-
stepping (stepping up two stairs then back down works well),
bench-stepping (step up onto a flat bench or Step platform
then back down) or rope-jumping (be sure you're not close
to anyone if you choose this). These approaches work just as
well as cardio machines and allow you to perform this
training style in a busier setting.
If the stair-stepping method is what you need to use, have a
look at the stepping pattern demonstrated on the following
page:
Fat-Loss Circuit Training
Step 2 - Warm-up
Do a few minutes of low-intensity cardio as a warm-up. You
may wish to do a few light sets of a few of the exercises
you'll be working with before you start into it though. Don't
tire yourself out, just get a light sweat going.
Step 3 - Start with 30 - 40 seconds of moderate intensity cardio.
This could be setting a stair machine to a level that is
not easy but is not so challenging that you're going to
exhaust yourself right away. Watch the timer on your machine
and go for approximately 40 seconds (I say approximately
because there will generally be a slight lag time when you
step on and off).
Many cardio machines have a "rest period" feature where you
can leave the machine on and it will not erase your program
while you have stepped off. Normally, this is about 2 minutes.
This should be enough time to complete your weight set.
If you are using a machine such as a treadmill or stair
machine that you will leave on with the timer running, just
watch the time counter on the machine and keep track of when
you get on it to get the designated period. It may require a
little mental math! You can also use your own stopwatch or
timer on your watch to keep track (this is easier). Start the
timer when you start the cardio.
Many machines also have a feature that runs through a series
of time periods. I've found on the StairMaster, if you set
the length of the session to 20 minutes, this results in a
40 second time period making it perfect for judging your
cardio periods.
Step 4 - Do a set of weights.
Go as quickly as you can to your first exercise. Do a set of
the first exercise on your program for the day. Do this with
no rest, going from the cardio immediately to the weights.
Do all your reps until you start to approach muscular failure.
While this is definitely still intense weight training, don't
push yourself to muscular failure as you would in your regular
training. Due to the high training volume we'll be doing in
this program, pushing to failure on every set will compromise
muscle recovery.
Also, be very sure to use proper form and tempo when lifting
the weights. Don't rush your weight sets - perform them with
the same form and speed as you would if you were doing a regular
set in your training. Fast, light or sloppy weight sets are
NOT what we're looking for here.
Step 5 - Go right back to the cardio.
Get back to the cardio and do another 40 seconds of
moderate-intensity cardio.
Step 6 - Repeat the cycle for the duration of the workout.
You will be going back and forth continuously between cardio
and your weight training exercises, using the cardio as the
rest period between your weight sets. What this means is
that over the course of your workout, you'll be burning
calories via cardio and weights AND you'll be working your
muscles with intense, heavy weight training as well. It's
tough training but very effective!
Notes:
- As you improve your cardio ability, you can choose to
increase the intensity of your cardio training between
sets. You may wish to start at a lower level and gradually
increase the resistance over the course of the workout or
start at a higher level and keep it there. It is perfectly
acceptable to keep it at a steady, moderate level, however.
- This Fat-Loss Circuit technique can be used with nearly
any form of cardio exercise as long as it is convenient to
go back and forth with the weights. The real key here is
to maintain activity for the entire workout.
- Keep your workouts to no more than 45 minutes at the very
most when doing this type of training. Any more than that
and you will be breaking yourself down too much. It's an
extremely demanding form of training as you'll be working
every major energy system in your body. You will also find
it will crank your metabolism up pretty seriously!

Metabolic Surge - Rapid Fat Loss
--------------
Metabolic Surge - Day by Day Rundown
By Nick Nilsson
The program consists of 3 primary phases that lasts a total of 12 days. You then repeat this cycle 3 times for a grand total of 36 days. Then you have a 10 day recovery period where you'll take things easier and regain strength and give your body a bit of a break.
Let's get started:
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 1:
Phase 1 is based on low-carb eating. Your body will be switching over to serious fat burning in the first day-and-a-half to two days. The training is Fat Loss Circuit Training (which I mentioned preiviously) and it will hasten the departure of carbs and water due to its demanding nature. It burns a lot of calories and will help get rid of carbs from your system FAST.
Being in a low-carb state is much more efficient for fat loss, though you don't want to stay in it too long (about 5 to 7 days is the most I recommend).
The third day is a complete rest day to help you recover from the first two days. You'll need the rest for the next two days (trust me).
On the fourth day, it's Lactic Acid Training. This type of training is designed to dramatically ramp up lactic acid production in your muscles and keep it there while training that specific bodypart. Why is this good? Well, the reduced pH in your body (more acidic) is an emergency situation and your body secretes G H in response (the full name of which I can't write here or this email will get filtered!). This hormone is not released as much when insulin is present in the blood, therefore we do this training on the 4th and 5th day of the low-carb eating, to be sure you have NO insulin floating around.
This maximizes the hormonal effect of the training. Lactic Acid Training also is not very damaging to the muscles - you start with one high-rep set (30+ reps), rest 20 seconds, then go again and try and hit as many reps as you can. Keep going for the prescribed number of sets.
This is followed by High-Intensity Intervals. The intervals are done on this day so as not to coincide with the thigh training of the next day. Lactic Acid Training for the thighs and interval training don't work as well when done on the same day because most cardio training uses the legs to a large degree. The legs will be too fatigued to push really hard on interval training.
You will be following a very basic supplementation program of multivitamins and protein powder during this phase. You can also include glutamine after workouts. Take NO creatine during this phase so that you save it for the transition to Phase 3 where you'll get the most bang for your buck with it.
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 2:
Phase 2 uses 2 days of single-nutrient eating to shock your body.
The first day focuses entirely on protein. Since you've been eating low carb and teaching your body to preferentially burn fat for energy, by suddenly depriving it of a fat intake as well, it's forced to seek out the most convenient fat source: bodyfat.
The interval training done on this day will encourage your body to use plenty of bodyfat for energy. It's not going to be easy, working on only protein like this but it's VERY effective. We only do this for one day.
The second day is designed to create a desperate need for protein in your body by starving yourself of it for a day. When you go to Phase 3 and eat plenty of protein, your body will aggressively store protein in the form of muscle.
Since you will be staying away from protein, don't take any glutamine on this day. Glutamine is an amino acid, which is a component of protein. You will be getting plenty of it as you go into Phase 3.
We will not be doing any training on this day as we are looking to only deplete the body of free-circulating protein, not to excessively break down muscle tissue. Just that depletion will create the desperate need in your body for protein, similar to what your body experiences on a carb depletion from low-carb eating and reloading.
An all-fruit day is also very cleansing to the body, which is a perfect switch from a high-protein, high-meat product diet. Eat as much fruit as you want. Your body will just be busy absorbing the carbohydrates from the fruit. Be sure to drink plenty of water as well. This fruit day also tends to flush out much of the excess water from your body.
The Nuts and Bolts of Phase 3:
The first few days of Phase 3 are all about building muscle (what better way to reduce your % bodyfat by increasing your % muscle mass!). When you come directly off a low-carb diet, your body is desperate for carbs and very sensitive to them. Your body will absorb them (as well as other nutrients) very rapidly.
This is also where the zero-protein day comes into play. You have also created a desperate need for protein in your body with it.
By combining these two desperate needs and then feeding them, your body is capable of tremendously fast progress. This is when you will be performing "Muscle Rounds" - one of the most effective muscle-building training techniques I've ever come across.
During these first few days, you will loading up on nutrients such as protein, glutamine and creatine to maximize the effects of the previous two phases.
You will also be keeping your fat intake extremely low to maximize fat burning during this time.
The third day of the phase is a day off weights but has you doing high intensity interval training for your cardio. Doing this type of training on it's own day means you can really put a lot of effort into it.
The fourth day is geared towards higher-volume, higher-rep training using Supersets. This type of training is excellent for forcing a lot of nutrient-laden blood into the muscles. The Supersets will also create plenty of lactic acid, which is excellent for boosting Growth Hormone levels in the body. You will also be doing interval training on this day again.
The final day of this Phase is a complete day off. Your body will need a little rest before you go back into the low-carb diet and training of Phase 1 again. You may be tempted to do a little more work - resist this as your body will need the rest!
On this day, you get a planned "cheat" meal...by planning it into your program, you get the mental benefits of breaking the strictness and your metabolism gets a nice shot. This planned cheating is a VERY powerful concept, as is the whole nutrient-rotation found in the Surge program itself.
Then Repeat Two More Times...
This 12 day cycle makes for one round of the program. In the NEXT 2 rounds, you're going to be increasing the number of sets you do, gradually building up the training volume, which forces your body to work harder to keep up. This is a natural metabolism-increaser and it's PLANNED right into the program.
Think of how the engine of a car reacts as you hit the gas to climb a hill...as the hill gets steeper, you have to almost floor it just to keep moving. But when you keep it floored and come up and over the top and down the other side, you pick up speed FAST.
This is the core concept of the Surge training program - you ramp things up then back off and let your metabolism ROAR.
Strength/Recovery Phase:
The Strength/Recovery Phase is not for fat loss but to allow the body some time to recuperate from the extreme training volume you've been placing on it. It is the overcompensation phase after ramping up to overtraining on the first 3 Phases, i.e. the car coming over the top of the hill and coming down.
The focus here is on building or re-building strength. You will dramatically reduce your training volume and frequency for a short period and target your training to strength training (lower reps and longer rest periods).
This sudden reduction in volume and frequency, while your body is still cranking and trying to recover from the high volume, will result in another jump in results. If you lost any strength during the first 36 days of training, you will get it all back here (and probably more!)
The Sum of All Parts:
As you can see, the training and nutrition of each Phase builds onto the next one, making the whole greater than the sum of all parts. This synergistic effect of the various nutrient and training regimes will allow you to effectively build muscle and strength even while training to lose fat!
From Phase to Phase, training volume will increase in order to push your body a little further and a little harder. Building up to this higher volume slowly will allow you take advantage of the body's reaction to temporary overtraining, keeping your results moving quickly. You will NEVER hit a plateau with this program.
Your body has no choice but to adapt - it's built into the training program and it's built into the eating program with the rotation between low-carb, low-fat and single-nutrient eating.

Best Tasting Protein Bar
I just received this recipe via e-mail from my good friend and super fitness cook: Dave Ruel. (The author of the Anabolic Cooking Cookbook.)
Just like Dave, I used to be addicted to protein bars, eating 2-3 bars a day thinking they were good for me just because they were called "Protein Bars"...
But, the problem was that commercial Protein Bars are more than often LOADED with sugar, and cost on average $5 a bar...
but thanks to Dave, the perfect homemade protein bar exists!! One that has all the good stuff and none of the bad.
And, in addition from being healthy, they are super cheap to make: less than 50 cents per bar!!!
Hope you enjoy these bars! :)
Here's the recipe:
Makes 5 Bars
Ingredients:
- 6-8 scoops chocolate protein powder
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp honey
- 1/2 cup 1% milk

Directions
1. Mix together the protein powder, oatmeal, peanut butter, honey and milk.
2. Form into 5 bars and then roll in the crushed peanuts to finish.
