2. Twelve Keys to Strength and Muscle
Mass (Part 2)
Let's continue yesterday's email covering 12
tips to build strength and muscle mass. We did
three of them, so we'll continue with tip no. 4.
This is turning into a little mini-course. I hope
you enjoy it!
4. Train for strength to build mass.
To make significant gains in muscle mass, you
need to make BIG gains in strength.
Somehow, way too many guys in the modern
training world have come to believe that you
build muscle mass with high rep pumping
programs - and that there's no need to build
strength to build muscle mass.
That may be the case for guys who are using
huge amounts of roidskies and other dangerous
drugs, but it's absolutely wrong for drug-free
trainees.
A drug-free, natural trainee needs to train to
increase his strength on the basic, compound
exercises we covered yesterday.
Over time, he should try to add 100 pounds to
his squat and deadlift, and at least 50 pounds
to all of his upper body exercises.
As your strength increases and you are able
to handle more weight in the basic, compound
movements, your muscle mass will increase
enormously.
Nothing else is even possible.
And remember what I said the other day
about building tendon, ligament and bone
strength.
Heavy training builds your skeletal structure -
and that lays the foundation for more muscle
mass.
Building your skeletal structure also means
that you will improve your posture as a
direct result of your training - which means
that you will stand tall, move better, and
carry yourself with the power and majesty
of a lion.
That was John Grimek's secret - a strong,
powerful bone structure that allowed him
to walk and move with unparalleled
presence.
It made him the greatest bodybuilder of
his generation - and quite possibly, the
greatest all-natural bodybuilder of all
time.
Of course, older trainees may not be able
to build the strength and power of a
younger man. That's fine. There's are
plenty of differences between age 50
or 60 and age 20.
But the basic formula is the same for
everyone.
Whatever your age, train for strength -
and as sure as night follows day, your
muscular mass will increase as you
build your strength.
More to follow . . . .
Yours in strength,
Brooks Kubik
