DON’T Worry About How Much Weight Is On The Bar
What I’m about to reveal may seem simple, but it’s brutally effective for building slabs of new muscle.
Yet almost no one is using it because of two things… It requires you to drastically reduce the amount of time between sets during the workout and… it hurts!
The method I’m talking about is called Max-Density. And if you truly want to grow, you’re going to have to get over your ego and “man up.”
Too many guys want to build their muscles but train with their ego. Using proper hypertrophy training means LESS REST and MORE WORK; the exact opposite of what most meatheads are doing when they’re chatting about some chick’s Instagram photos and resting five minutes between slinging weights with everything OTHER than the muscle they’re trying to work.
Quite simply, Max-Density requires you to do the same “volume” of work — sets and reps — in a fraction of the time. Bottom line… MORE work, LESS time. THAT is how adaptations happen. NOT trying to add an extra ¼ rep to your full body bicep curls.
How does it build more muscle?
First of all, you’re not leaving your muscles adequate time to recover. That means your body will figure out a way to recruit MORE motor neurons and muscle fibers to get the job done. You’re also making sure all those potentially anabolic signalling hormones stick around and accumulate in the muscle as opposed to letting them flow out after each set.
Turns out many muscle fibers stay dormant because you never give them a good reason to wake up! Recruiting new “dormant” muscle fibers means exploding new growth of your slow-to-grow muscles -- 30-40% NEW GROWTH.
Next, density training massively improves your muscular endurance and cardiovascular conditioning. That means fantastic pumps, and that kind of “cell swelling” is directly correlated with a growth stimulus that is now known to drive muscle building.
Improved conditioning and metabolic stress of high density training means your muscles will become superstars at the efficient use of nutrients (aka insulin sensitivity). In other words, they will gobble up everything you stuff in your face, which means more muscle and zero-to-no fat storage.
In fact, this type of training drives up mitochondrial function and often forces your muscles to tap into your fat stores to fuel recovery in the hours and days after each density-style workout. That means you lose fat while building brand new muscle mass!
