First off I want to thank you for picking up a copy of the Fast Mass Building
System. You’ve just taken an important step in the right direction towards
achieving your personal fitness and physique goals. As you know most people just
“hope” that someday they’ll get around to building muscle and getting in shape,
but YOU are actually taking action, which is the key that makes all the difference.
So for that I have a lot of respect for you and what you are trying to achieve.
Now with that being said, this program is going to provide you all the actual “How
To” stuff with regards to your eating, exercise, and lifestyle that you’ll need to
implement in order to build a lean muscular physique. However, simply knowing
what to do isn’t enough. Let’s face it everyone knows “What To Do” to some degree
or another. We all know that we should exercise regularly, that we should eat a
healthy diet, that we should drink plenty of water, and all that stuff... But how
many people actually do it?
You need to have a big enough reason “Why” you truly want to have a strong, lean,
muscular physique. It’s why you REALLY want this that will give you the drive and
motivation to actually follow through with this program and make your fitness and
physique goals a reality.
The very first thing I want you do to right now before you go any further with this
program is to ask yourself: Why Do You Want To Build A Lean Muscular Body?
I know this whole goal setting thing may seem a bit cheesy, but do it anyway ☺
Trust me this stuff works, every single successful person that I know of in
bodybuilding, business, or any endeavor in life has used goal setting to achieve
their personal success. Bottom Line - This Does Work!
So grab a pen and paper or just open up a new word processing document on your
computer right now and just jot down at least a dozen reasons for why you want to

Very often the logical and practical ones like: it will improve my health, make me
live a longer life, lower my blood pressure, reduce my risk of heart disease, etc.
are not the “Hot Buttons” that will move you to action. Not many people can get
emotionally excited and passionate about lowering their cholesterol. But almost
everyone can get excited about the idea of being able to take their shirt off and feel
confident and proud of how their body looks.
Imagine having the type of body that commands attention and respect everywhere
you go. One that causes people to stop and do a double take when you walk by
because you are in such good shape.
How cool would it be to be one of the most ripped guys at your gym and among
your friends and co-workers? Imagine being in such good shape that people
regularly give you complements on how good you look and ask YOU for fitness
advice!
We all have our own personal reasons for why we want to get in shape, often times
the real motivating ones feel so silly and foolish that we would never tell anyone
about them. But those are often the ones that will actually keep you on track, help
you stick to your plan and follow through. So take a few minutes right now and
think about what those reasons are for you.
Really take the time to think of all the benefits that you’ll experience and how your
life will be better if you had a ripped muscular body…
Maybe it is so you can get more attention from the opposite sex. Maybe it is so
you can go out and buy new clothes that will highlight your new athletic muscular
physique.
Or maybe you just want to look good with your shirt off and be able to hit the beach

How awesome it would feel to get “intimate” with that special someone while
sporting a lean muscular body with a big chest, powerful arms, wide shoulders, and
a V-shaped back that tapers down to a set of ripped 6-pack abs!
Also think of all the negative embarrassing things you’ll move away from and
the frustrations you’ll avoid. Maybe you are jealous of the other guys at the
gym who are big and ripped. Maybe you feel like you have been just wasting
your time, spinning your wheels, and going nowhere with your workouts. Maybe
someone called you “chicken legs” one too many times and now you’re going to do
something about it. Maybe it is your way of getting back at someone, to get your
revenge, or make an ex-girlfriend jealous.
Your reason for getting in awesome shape could be to inspire the people in your
personal life and to be a positive role model for your family. For example, if you are
a parent (or plan on being one someday) imagine how good you’ll feel knowing
that your children look up to you as a strong, fit, and healthy role model.
Whatever your personal reason is for doing this, write it down. You don’t have to
share this with anyone but keep it for yourself and review it on a regular basis. Use
the carrot and the stick so that you have every possible motivating factor working
to your advantage and pushing you towards achieving the muscular body of your
dreams.
Psychologists have proven over and over again that YOUR reason for doing
something is much more powerful than how you get the job done. If you have
a strong enough reason WHY you want to build a lean muscular physique and
transform your body then you will find a way to do it. It’s as simple as that!
Really take the time to write down your reasons for getting in shape in clear specific
detail. Then review this twice daily, first thing in the morning when you wake up,

Regularly going through these goal setting and visualization exercises will help you
crystallize the mental image of how you want your body to look, and how your life
will be better as a direct result of having that lean hard body. This will re-enforce
success habits into your subconscious mind.
Each day make notes about what productive things you did to move yourself closer
to realizing your fitness and physique goals, and make note of things you didn’t do so
well that you could improve upon. Keep visualizing and refining these goals so that
you know EXACTLY what kind of body you want and how you are going to get it.
As simple as this may seem, it’s regular conscious focus like this that can make
all the difference between actually achieving the muscular body you’ve always
wanted. Or getting distracted with all the day to day “stuff” and then looking back
6 months or a year later and being disappointed with yourself because you never
followed through.
You are only going through this world once. So live life to the fullest and be an
action taker. Go out there and make your fitness and physique goals a reality. Trust
me, it’s worth it!

The Muscle Building
“Catch 22”
1
If you have been hitting the gym regularly with the intensions of packing on
some solid muscle mass to your frame, you’ve probably already experienced the
frustrations of what I like to call… The Muscle Building “Catch 22”.
This is a vicious cycle that the majority of all serious muscle-building enthusiasts
will go through at some point or another. Now if you are not familiar with the
whole muscle building “Catch 22”, let me explain it by sharing what my good friend
“Billy” recently went through …
Once upon a time there was a boy named Billy, who we could more appropriately
call “Little Billy”. He was a skinny small frame guy, and like a lot of skinny guys he
got picked on and bullied while growing up.
Now I realize that most people have probably experienced some bullying and
teasing while growing up, it’s normal. I went through it, and maybe you went
through it as well to some degree or another. But everyone has their limit of how
much crap they can take before it eventually gets to them.

11 than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.
FAST MASS BUILDING PRESENTS
So what does Little Billy do to solve his dilemma? Well he decides to start working
out to beef up his skinny frame. After all, if he were big and muscular he would
finally get the respect he deserved and nobody would ever pick on him again!
The next day Little Billy joins the local gym. He’s a bit nervous because this is
foreign territory, but at the same time he’s proud of himself for taking action. After
all, if he can just commit to “workout everyday” in the matter of weeks his scrawny
body will be rippling with muscles… Right?
WRONG!
After a couple months of hitting the gym on daily basis Little Billy is… Well, still
kind of “little”. Now yes, he has made some improvements. He does know his way
around the gym floor and is familiar with all the basic exercises. He has gotten
somewhat stronger since joining the gym. But his body is certainly not “Rippling
With Muscles” like he thought it would be by now. In fact his bodyweight on the
scale has hardly budged.
So what does Little Billy do? Well, he gets online and starts searching for answers.
This seems like the logical choice, but it turns out to be a daunting task!
The more he searches, the more confusing it gets... But our Little Billy is NOT a
quitter! After countless hours of sifting through dozens of muscle building articles,
hundreds of forum posts, and tons of contradictory crap and childish online
debates he finally discovers the solution to his problem.
You see even though Little Billy was going to the gym everyday, he was skipping
breakfast in the morning because he often slept in too late. For lunch he just
grabbed whatever the “Special Of The Day” was at the cafeteria. Then when he got
home his dinner consisted of whatever his family was having. Basically he gave no
conscious thought to what he was eating day in and day out.
On his lunch break, he quickly woofs down the “Special Of The Day” plus dessert,
and then heads on over to the local supplement store. After chatting it up with
the clerk and getting the low down on all the weight gainer supplements, Little
Billy ends up buying up the BIGGEST Container of Super Duper MASS Gainer on the
shelf. His plan is to drink a couple of these enormous shakes everyday in addition
to eating his big breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
After work he stops into the gym for his daily workout. And you know what, he
actually does feel a bit fuller and stronger from the extra food he’s been eating.
This “Bulking Up” stuff seems to be working!
Once he finishes his last set in the gym, he heads into the locker room like a man
on a mission and cracks open that Big Ass Container of Super Duper Mass Gainer!
Using the freebie shaker cup that the clerk gave him at the supplement store, he
mixes up his first Weight Gainer Shake.
Granted this stuff mixes up like cement and tastes like chalk dust. But our Little
Billy is a warrior; nothing is going to stand in his way so he plugs his nose and chugs
Once home he gets cleaned up and ready for dinner. Now granted he is still feeling
full from the weight gainer shake he had earlier at the gym. So at the dinner table
Little Billy is not really that hungry, but non-the-less he goes back for second
helpings. After all, you gotta eat big if you want to get big… Right!?
After dinner he plops his butt on the couch and watches some TV, while letting
out the occasional burp and fart to ease up the gas pains. After a couple hours of
channel surfing the food and bloat in his belly has settled and he’s actually feeling
a bit hungry again. So to really make the most of this whole “Bulking Up” thing.
Little Billy jumps in his car and makes a late night trip to the drive through to grab
a burger and fries before bed.
After a week of stuffing his face on a regular basis Little Billy does feel different. He
can actually feel his muscles getting that tight pumped feeling during his workouts,
which is something he never really experienced before. Not only that but he has
been able to increase his weights on several exercises as well.
But the moment of truth is when he steps on the scale… Holy Sh!t batman, Little
Billy is up 6 pounds! That’s like the biggest weight gain jump he has had since
hitting puberty. This “Bulking Up” thing is really working!
He keeps up this routine of heavy eating over the next week and sure enough the
gains keep on coming. By week 2 Little Billy is up 9 pounds on the scale and all his
major lifts in the gym have increased significantly.
By the 3rd week in to his “Bulk Up Program” he is still feeling strong, but the weight
gains have slowed down considerably. He only gained 1 measly pound over the last
Week 4 goes by and the same thing, not much gained in either bodyweight or
strength. Little Billy is wondering what the heck is going on here? During the first
2 weeks he was growing like a weed, now it seems like everything has levelled off.
He figures that his metabolism must have gotten used to higher food intake and
that he just needs to eat even more food in order to continue making gains.
So the next day, Little Billy looks for ways to jam in extra calories to his already
heavy “Bulk Up” eating plan…
» For breakfast he has his regular bacon, eggs, and pancakes. But on top of his
pancakes he not only pours maple syrup, but also piles on several spoonfuls of
whipping cream as well.
» As soon as he gets to work he grabs a chocolate bar out of the vending machine.
» At lunch he goes back for second helpings of the “Special Of The Day” Plus 2
helpings of dessert.
» After his workout he tosses in an extra scoop of Super Duper Mass Gainer in his
post workout shake.
» For dinner he goes back for second helpings and then finishes it off with a full
row of chocolate chip cookies out of the bag.
» Then later that evening for his late night drive through run, he tops it off by
“Super Sizing” his full meal-deal!
You have to agree that’s A LOT of food by anyone’s standards. And guess what
happens to Little Billy after a full week of following this “Super Bulking Up” eating
plan?
Little Billy is bloated like a pig. His once baggy pants are now feeling snug around
the waistline. He even had to let his belt out a couple notches. Oh he’s gaining
weight all right, but it’s all excess fat around the belly.
Even his strength in the gym has plateaued, at first he was feeling fuller and
stronger with each workout. Now he just feels fat, sluggish, and even has a hard
time catching his breath in between sets.
Ever since increasing his food intake he has been burping and farting more than
ever. But lately with this ridiculously high calorie “Pig Out” eating plan Little Billy
is literally a walking gas leak. It’s a good thing he’s single…
We could now change his nickname to “Little Tubby Billy”. Because he is still a small
framed guy, even though he has put on a little muscle mass, but now he’s also
getting fat too. Let’s face it, the “skinny fat” body type is NOT the type of physique
that anyone wants to have.
Now our Little “Tubby” Billy is even more confused and frustrated then before.
He still wants to get bigger and build a muscular body. But he doesn’t want to keep
on getting fatter around the waistline.
Whenever you focus your efforts on “Bulking Up” to fill out your frame and gain
more muscle size, you probably find that you can gain weight all right (if you eat
enough). But a lot of the weight gained is just excess bodyfat right around the
middle.
Then when you finally had enough of the bulking and you can’t even button up
your pants anymore, you switch gears and focus instead on “Cutting Up” to lose the
This is a vicious cycle that has plagued serious muscle-building enthusiasts for
years. Maybe you’ve already experienced this yourself or know someone who has.
It’s a very frustrating process and a lot of times people just get to the point where
they give up on their goal of building a lean muscular physique and settle for
second best.
The Skinny Ripped Guy… He’s got ripped six-pack abs year round. But he is still very
skinny and scrawny. Always training his abs and doing endless cardio to try and get
even more shredded. He’s afraid that if he ever gained a pound on his skinny frame,
it would just blur his abdominal definition.
Well my friend, there is such as training system and you have it right now…
The 21-Day Fast Mass Building System tackles these draw backs of traditional
“Bulking” and “Cutting” programs head on. This program uses a synergistic
approach where you actually work with your body’s natural hormonal systems to
create the optimal lean muscle-building environment, without getting fat in the
process!

FAST MASS BUILDING PRESENTS
In fact I personally went through my own variation of the “Little Billy” story going
from skinny to down right sloppy fat at one point. Before finally figuring this stuff
out and eventually finding a way to build a LEAN and MUSCULAR physique.
I became good friends with several of the local bodybuilders and would often
train with them in the gym. This allowed me to see what they did themselves, and
I would basically just pick their brains for tips and tricks on the best ways to go
about packing on lean muscle mass. This is when things REALLY started to “click”
for me and I was able to make some of my best muscle gains ever!
One thing you’ll quickly notice about competitive bodybuilders is that they will
make muscle gains MUCH faster than the average gym member. Part of this has
to do with the fact that they are just more serious about their workouts and are a
heck of a lot more motivated to push themselves to get in their best shape.
Note: Never ignore the power of good old fashion hard work. I’ve met A LOT of
successful bodybuilders, and for the most part, the ones who excel and standout
are the ones that hustle the hardest. That’s something that applies to muscle
building and life in general. You are going to get out of it, what you put into it.
But other than pushing themselves harder, the MAIN reason why competitive
bodybuilders make better gains in the gym is that they are constantly cycling their
training and nutritional programs.
Muscle building works along the same lines, it is NOT a non-stop process that just
goes on and on forever without interruption. You have to work WITH your body,
not against it. If you are stubborn and try to force your body to grow non-stop it
will fight back with all the negative training symptoms of plateaus, over training,
burnout, and injuries. You may have already experienced some of these things first
hand for yourself, or at least know of people who have.
However the year long training cycle of a competitive bodybuilder avoids many of
these pitfalls by providing nutritional variety and unique muscle stimulation. It also
takes advantage of the body’s natural anabolic growth and recovery cycles and
uses them to pack on solid muscle mass.
If you’re not familiar with how the Post Contest Rebound works, then let me
explain it for you…
Bodybuilders will go on a very strict fat loss diet for at least 12 weeks prior to a
bodybuilding contest. This is so they can strip away all their excess bodyfat and get
as ripped to the bone shredded as possible. Their goal is to step on stage with NO
Excess Bodyfat What So Ever! This is necessary in order to bring out all their rock
hard muscle definition.
However, once the contest is over the celebration begins. Can you imagine
how good it must be for all those “starving bodybuilders” who have deprived
themselves of their favourite foods for weeks on end to all of a sudden be allowed
to eat them again?!
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no20
more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.
FAST MASS BUILDING PRESENTS
Now in most “normal people”, eating this much food would just be stored as ugly
unwanted bodyfat. But when your body is depleted (as in the case of a pre-contest
bodybuilder) this Over abundance of calories triggers the body to unleash HUGE
amounts of Natural Anabolic Hormones that shuttle all this food towards building
solid Lean Muscle Mass!
The typical tasty goodies that bodybuilder’s will PIG OUT on right after a competition!
Now obviously a lot of that rapid weight gain will be water and muscle glycogen
being stored within the muscle cells. But about 5-10 pounds of it will be actual
solid lean muscle mass.
Can you imagine the incredible muscle building results that you could make by
going through this kind of rebound cycle again and again?
Considering the fact that the average gym member is lucky to even gain 5 pounds
of muscle per year. You can now see why competitive bodybuilders are among
the BIGGEST & Most Muscular guys in the gym, especially since they are literally
packing on 5-10 pounds of permanent muscle mass with every pre-contest diet
& post-contest rebound!
When following a strict bodybuilding contest diet you’ll lose a lot of bodyfat, as
well as some lean muscle mass in the process. But once you start the post contest
rebound the majority of the weight gained is lean muscle mass with only small
increases in bodyfat.

As you can see in the first picture I started my pre-contest diet at 215 pounds.
I wasn’t in “bad” shape, but certainly not lean enough to compete in a bodybuilding
competition.
The second picture was taken on stage at the competition. After 12 weeks of strict
dieting I got my bodyweight down to a ripped 187 pounds.
Then right after the competition was over, the post contest pig out began ☺
It started off with an “All U Can Eat” Italian buffet with endless amounts of pizza,
pasta, and desserts. And for the entire week after the show I pretty much ate
whatever I wanted in rather large quantities… (Hey, I had 12 weeks of cravings
to get out of my system LOL)

Instead my muscles filled out like crazy and I made the most insane muscle gains
imaginable. The third picture above was taken within 1 week after the show. And as
you can clearly see I was up 23 pounds and looking as huge and jacked as ever!
And the only way you can make these kinds of rapid fast muscle gains is through
strategically cycling your diet and training similar to how competitive bodybuilders
do with each pre-contest diet and post-contest rebound.

Real World Results…
The entire process of alternating back and forth between off-season mass building
3
phases and pre-contest fat loss phases works amazingly well for competitive
bodybuilders. It allows them to cycle their training and pack on several pounds
of solid new muscle mass with each bodybuilding competition they do. However,
I realize that most guys who hit the gym and workout on a regular basis are NOT
interested in competing in a bodybuilding contest.
The idea of taking several months of your life to go through a complete pre-contest
diet and post-contest rebound is still a very long and tedious process, one that
most guys just cannot commit to follow through with.
So that’s why I’ve developed a modified approach that uses the same principles,
but squeezes them into a more practical and realistic system of just a few short
weeks. Granted the changes in bodyweight are not as extreme as with an actual
bodybuilding contest diet cycle. But non-the-less you are still able to prime your
body for rapid muscle gains with a short low calorie diet “Primer Phase”, and then
super compensate with explosive new muscle growth during the high calorie diet
“Overload Phase”.

My first experiments with this style of training and nutritional cycling started
back in the late 1990’s. I was a college student at the time and I had just started
competing in bodybuilding competitions. My main fitness goals were simply
getting bigger, stronger and packing on muscle mass.
Now granted the early version of this program that I used back then was not nearly
as detailed, structured, and organized as the 21-Day Fast Mass Building System
is now. However, I was still able to pack on 45 pounds of solid muscular bodyweight
within one year of repeatedly alternating back and forth between high calorie and
low calorie diet cycles.
Keep in mind that I was already working out consistently for 8 years (I started
working out when I was 12 years old) and I had already competed in 3 bodybuilding
competitions by the time I first tried the early version of the 21-Day Fast Mass
Building Program. So those 45 pounds did NOT come from the fast initial “newbie”
muscle gain growth spurt that people experience when they first start working out.
Not only that, but these gains were made 100% naturally
(i.e. I never took any anabolic steroids to make those rapid
fast muscle gains). Taking illegal drugs goes totally against
my morals. And besides that, I was a broke college student
so I couldn’t afford to take anything even if I wanted to.
This 21-Day Fast Mass Building System has been my “secret program” that I’ve
pretty much kept to myself over the years. I’d use it every now and then, whenever I
felt that I needed a growth spurt to kick my muscle gains into high gear. But I never
really broadcasted it to the world before now…

Just this past fall I went to watch the Mr. Olympia Competition in Las Vegas with
Vince Del Monte and several of our closest friends.
After attending the Olympia competition, Vince told me that he was motivated
to take his training up to the next level and compete in another Fitness Model
Competition in 2011. But he first needed to pack on some new muscle mass in order
to be more competitive in his division.
Now if you know Vince, he is a HUGE action taker. He’s not one of those guys who
just talk’s the talk, but he walk’s the walk as well. So as soon as he got home he
jumped right in and started implementing the program exactly as I outlined it to
him while we were in Vegas.
21 days later… and 7.4 pounds of solid muscle bigger… Vince was blown away by
the rapid results he had made! Keep in mind that Vince is a very advanced trainer
himself. So even gaining 7.4 pounds of muscle in a year would be considered good
gains, let alone gaining that much muscle mass in only 21 days!
Vince kept on repeating the 21-Day Fast Mass Building Cycle right on through the
rest of 2010 and he got up to a very solid 227 pounds with only 15% bodyfat. Those
are some very impressive mass gains, especially considering that he is an advanced
lifter and these gains were made 100% steroid free!

We were both curious to see how this 21-Day Fast Mass Building Program would
work on a larger scale. After all, maybe we were the exception (and not the rule) for
how good this program would actually perform in the “Real World”.
So we put the challenge out there, and ended up recruiting a group of “guinea pig”
test subjects from our online followers. We got over 100 people to put this 21-Day
Fast Mass Building Cycle Program to the test.
We wanted to make sure that the rapid gains we experienced were not some fluke
or just unique to us. We wanted to see what kind of gains that the average gym
member could make from following this style of training and nutrition cycling.
Now I have to admit, we were somewhat optimistic that the results would be
positive from our test subjects. After all, competitive bodybuilders have been doing
this for years, it has worked well for me, and it was working for Vince… But when
the final results came in we were SHOCKED to say the least…
We were hoping that our group of test subjects would be able to as well as Vince
did by gaining approximately 7 pounds over the course of the 21-day program. Even
if they gained a bit less, we would still have considered it a success. But our jaws
hit the floor when we seen that the “average” muscle gains that these guys were
making was 12 pounds of solid muscular bodyweight in just 21 days!
A lot of our test subjects were making better gains than even Vince did when he
first tried the program! Now granted most of our test subjects are not as advanced
as Vince. Many of them have only been working out for about a year or two, so it’s
easier to make fast gains when you are not as experienced. But still these results
were much greater than we ever expected.

The Theory Behind
The Program…

I’ve got a question for you…
What’s The Most Anabolic Muscle Building Substance You Can Get Your Hands On?
I’m dead serious about this. All the training, drugs, and supplements in the world
won’t build an ounce of muscle mass without proper nutrition and adequate
food intake. In fact when you get right down to it, the food you eat is the only real
“Anabolic Component” of your entire muscle-building regimen.
Going to the gym and working out is NOT anabolic. The workout itself is actually
catabolic and breaks down muscle tissue. Now granted it’s the stress of working

more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.

In fact I’ll go so far as to say that food is so anabolic that it can even build solid
muscle mass regardless if you lift weights or not!
The average adult male is made up of 42% skeletal muscle. Think about where all
that muscle came from… It had to be built from the food that was consumed along
with release of the body’s own natural anabolic hormones… Right?
(I mean where the heck else would it have come from?)
So the question is how do we harness this muscle building power that’s lying
dormant inside your body right now? Well the key is to understand exactly how
your body reacts hormonally to changes in your food intake.
For the first part of the program you need to prime your body with a low calorie diet
phase. This will prepare your body for the super compensation of the high calorie
mass building rebound phase that’s to follow.
Whenever you follow a restricted diet and eat less than your maintenance calorie
intake, this triggers your body’s metabolic processes to produce more hormones
and enzymes to efficiently store the food you eat as lean muscle.
It’s a survival mechanism that has been built into our genetic makeup over
thousands of years of evolution. When our caveman ancestors weren’t successful

more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.

So when they finally got that Big Woolly Mammoth and had the opportunity to
eat until their hearts content, their bodies were very efficient at shuttling that over
abundance of calories towards building lean muscle mass.
However, this survival mechanism is very smart and also works in the opposite
fashion as well. So if our caveman ancestors hit a lucky streak and kept on having
successful hunts and had lots of food to eat week after week. Their bodies actually
slowed down on the production of the muscle building hormones and geared up
the fat storing hormones instead.
You see a lean heavily muscled body burns A LOT of calories. From a survival point
of view having “some” muscle mass is good, but having “too much” muscle is bad.
Carrying around excess muscle mass would just speed up the metabolism and burn
a lot of extra calories. Similar to how a big V8 engine is going to guzzle a lot more
gas compared to a small 4 cylinder engine. So if our caveman ancestors burned
excessive amounts of calories, it would make it harder for them to survive periods
of famine when they did occur.
This hormonal shift happens after about 2 weeks of overeating. At this point the
body shifts from a primary focus on building lean muscle mass, to a primary focus
of storing the extra food consumed as bodyfat.
Remember “Little Billy” who we introduced earlier, he actually made great muscle
and strength gains during the first 2 weeks of his “Bulk Up” program, but after that
he started gaining more bodyfat than muscle.
Now from a caveman’s point of view this was actually a good thing, it’s one of the
key reasons why we survived as a species and got to evolve to where we are today.
That extra bodyfat gave us reserve energy to run on when food supplies were low.

So with the abundance of good nutritious food that we have available today, why
not go all out and enjoy being that lean, mean, calorie guzzling, muscle machine!

(regardless of the gas mileage), it’s a heck of a lot more fun to live your life with a

Yo-Yo Dieting…
Note: The whole process of Yo-Yo Dieting is very similar to what competitive
bodybuilders purposely do every single time they diet down and compete in a
bodybuilding competition.
Now most mainstream diet and weight loss gurus talk about Yo-Yo Dieting as a “bad”
thing that should be avoided. But when you actually take a deeper look into the
You’ll hear all kinds of myths and misconceptions about Yo-Yo Dieting… People say
stuff like… “it will ruin your metabolism”, “make you get fatter”, “make it harder to
lose weight again in the future” and the list goes on and on.
But when you do your homework you’ll see that the research doesn’t back up
these myths. In fact studies have shown that repeatedly cycling your caloric intake
actually increases your food efficiency and doesn’t “ruin your metabolism”.
While it’s true that most people will re-gain weight when they come off a diet.
What is NOT taken into consideration is the actual body composition of that re-
gained weight. There have been several studies that show a lot of the weight that’s
re-gained after a low calorie diet is actually lean muscle mass and NOT just excess
bodyfat.
Whenever you drastically increase your food intake over base levels it increases
protein synthesis, it improves nitrogen retention, and it triggers your body to
produce more anabolic hormones such as IGF-1 (insulin like growth factor),
testosterone, and insulin.
In fact there was a study done by Forbes, et al., called “Hormonal Response To
Overfeeding”. In that study the test subjects went from eating a maintenance diet
to eating a diet that provided an extra 1,200 - 1,600 calories per day for a total of
21 days. The results from this study were quite eye opening and really show just
how powerful calorie cycling is for gaining muscular bodyweight.
First off, the study volunteers were adult women who did NOT do any weight
training exercise. Not only that, but the diet they ate during the study was very
LOW in protein (consisting of only 6% protein). Now just from that info alone you
wouldn’t expect to see any muscle gains from bunch of women who didn’t workout
and ate a low protein diet… Right?
Wrong!

This hormone spike was also accompanied by an equal impressive gain in solid
muscular bodyweight. By the end of the 21-day study the average lean muscle
gains for the group was 4 ½ pounds!
Now granted the ladies did gain a few pounds of bodyfat along with those
lean muscle gains, but isn’t it amazing how they still managed to gain muscle
WITHOUT weight training and by eating a LOW protein diet…
Can you imagine how much greater those lean muscle gains would have been if
the test subjects actually worked out with weights and ate a well balanced, high
nutrient, high protein muscle building meal plan!?

more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.

As impressive as these results are for both competitive bodybuilders and average
folks alike, the key thing to realize is that these fast muscle gains are only
temporary!
Like I mentioned earlier, muscle gains come in spurts, it’s NOT a non-stop process.
Even in the Forbes study above, the increased levels of anabolic hormones peaked
out after 14 days of overeating. Then they started to decline back to base levels.
The same thing applies with competitive bodybuilders when they are “pigging out”
after a bodybuilding contest. Generally, they will make incredible muscle gains for
2 weeks before things start to plateau. After that if they continue eating excessive
amounts of calories beyond the 2 week mark those extra calories will get stored as
bodyfat, and NOT as lean muscle mass.

» Whenever you start a new fitness program you can usually make fantastic
progress for the first few weeks. But after that, the body starts to adjust to the
new program and the results come to a plateau.
» When you start a new workout routine, you’ll make your best strength
gains during the first few weeks of the program before they start to taper off.
» When you change your diet, you’ll see the fastest changes in body
composition during the first few weeks. After that your progress will slow
down to a snails pace.
» The body is very good at adapting to changes in our environment. So the rapid
progress that you make whenever you change your diet and training programs is
your body adapting and growing in response to the changes made.
Now there is no shortage of different training and nutrition programs to follow. And
you are going to hear mixed reviews on every single one of them. One person will
say that a particular program is awesome, while someone else may say that very
same program sucks.
However the results that someone makes from a particular program (or whether
they think is sucks or not) is not necessarily due to the workout or diet program
itself. But rather from the level of change that program provided compared to
what they were accustomed to doing previously.
You see the key thing you need to realize when it comes to building muscle is that:
Everything Works, But Nothing Works Forever…
The tendency for most people is to have an “either/or” approach. Very often this
You can’t stick to the same style of program forever and continue making progress.
Your body will adapt and your progress will level off. You need to provide unique
muscle stimulation, as well as unique dietary changes, to keep things progressing
forwards over the long term.
Now when most people first here about this they think:
“I’ll Just Keep Changing Things Up All The Time.”
That’s the basis of the whole “muscle confusion” theory.
And a lot of people mistakenly think that if they keep
changing their programs all the time, they’ll keep making
progress all the time.
But they are neglecting one key element…
Adaptation!
In order for significant muscle growth to occur you have to give your body time to
adapt and grow from the program you are currently following before changing it
to something else.
So while change is good, you can’t be haphazard about it either. You need to have
a planned system and structure in place so that your body adapts and grows from
your current training and nutritional program, before you change things and move
on to another complementary program.
This is where most people who are stuck in a muscle-building plateau go wrong.
They are not following a structured plan that changes in accordance to the body’s
natural growth and recovery patterns.
That’s the secret to success with our 21-Day Fast Mass Building Cycle Program.
We’ll show you how to work with your body and cycle your diet and workouts so that
you make steady progress in muscle size and strength gains over the long-term.

The Anabolic Amplifier
Effect!

2 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back…
If you’ve done any reading on the topic of fat loss, than I’m sure you are familiar
with the concept of cycling your calories. I’ve talked a bit about it in the previous
section with regards to “Yo-Yo Dieting”. But the common strategy that most weight
loss experts recommend these days is to cycle your calories during a fat loss diet to
prevent the metabolism from slowing down and hitting a fat loss plateau.
What researchers have found is that whenever you start a low calorie diet you can
make rapid fat loss progress for the first few weeks. But after that the body adjusts
to the low calorie diet and the fat loss results comes to a screeching halt.
Not only that, but having a planned “Cheat Day” gives you a mental break as well.
Temporarily going off your diet satisfies your food cravings and makes the process
of following the fat loss program much more tolerable over the long term.
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no43
more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.

So like we’ve already mentioned in the previous sections, whenever you drastically
increase your calorie intake over base levels your body will release higher amounts
of anabolic hormones to shuttle those extra calories towards lean muscle growth.
This elevated anabolic response continues for about 2 weeks. After that, the body
adapts to the higher calorie intake and your muscle growth progress hits a plateau.
This is when you need to temporarily back off on your food intake and “Re-Prime”
your body for another rapid growth “Rebound” phase.
The process of repeatedly cycling your diet with a low calorie “Primer Phase” and
then drastically switching to a high calorie “Overload Phase” is what we refer to as
the Anabolic Amplifier Effect.
Muscle Growth occurs in spurts, and with the Anabolic Amplifier Effect
you’ll make a rapid gains during the 2 week high calorie “Overload Phase”.
Then you’ll need switch to a 1 week low calorie “Primer Phase” to prepare
your body for the next anabolic growth spurt.

While it sounds fun initially to be able to eat a lot, it quickly becomes a chore.
Having to regularly consume over and above your maintenance calorie intake day
after day is very difficult. If you have ever followed a typical bulk up eating plan for
any length of time you know exactly what I’m talking about here.
Just like when you are following a fat loss diet and you look forward to a cheat day
when you can “pig out”. During a mass building phase you actually look forward to
low calorie days when you don’t have to eat so much.
The 21-Day Fast Mass Building System is based on those exact nutritional
cycling principles. The program is divided into 2 phases that complement one
another, and keeps your body on the “Anabolic Edge” for maximum muscle growth.
The first phase of the program is a 1-week low calorie “Primer Phase”. This will
give your digestive system a break, increase your insulin sensitivity, and elevate
hormones and enzymes so that your body becomes very efficient at storing the
food you eat as lean muscle.
Then once your body is primed for growth, we’ll switch gears and move into the
2-week high calorie “Overload Phase”. This will open up the floodgates for natural
anabolic hormone production (IGF-1, Testosterone, and Insulin). It’s during this
phase where you’ll literally be able to feel your body growing bigger and stronger
by the day!
In addition to cycling your nutritional program, we’re also cycle your training
routine. You see a HUGE mistake that bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts often
make is not matching their workouts so that they complement their diets.
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no45
more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.

So to go along with the “Primer Phase” we’re going to follow a fast paced
conditioning circuit routine that utilizes higher reps and more bodyweight exercises.
This lighter training phase will give your joints and tendons a break, and prep your
body for the heavy mass building power-training phase that’s to follow.
With the 21-Day Fast Mass Building System the scales are tipped in favour of
lean muscle growth, because you’ll spend the majority of your time in a caloric
surplus. While at the same time following a heavy mass building power-building
workout program, thus allowing you to grow bigger and stronger!
But you will not experience the metabolic pitfalls that are associated with
traditional long term bulking and heavy mass building workouts, because we’ll be
strategically “Re-Priming” your body with a brief period of lower calories and lighter
training every 3rd week.
This short low calorie “Primer Phase” will also allow you to trim off any excess
bodyfat that you may gain during the high calorie “Overload Phase”. This is a nice
little side benefit of the program that ensures you make LEAN muscle gains over
the long term.
With this system you’ll work WITH your body’s natural growth processes and
NOT against them. You’ll literally take 2 steps forwards and 1 step back with every
21-Day Fast Mass Building Cycle. And you can follow this program for as many
cycles as you like until you reach your desired level of muscular development!

Fast Mass Nutrition…
When it comes to building muscle, what you eat has a HUGE impact on your overall
7
results. In fact some “bodybuilding experts” even go so far as to say that nutrition is
responsible for 80% of your muscle building progress.
Now I certainly agree that nutrition is a very critical component, but I don’t like to
give it some random percentage value towards your muscle building gains. Instead
I like to zoom out and look at the big picture.
Training, Nutrition, & Mindset. You need to have all 3 components in place in
order to make progress and achieve your fitness and physique goals.
Training: Obviously, you need to workout and place demands on the muscles in
order to give them a reason to grow bigger and stronger. You can consider weight
training as the spark that starts your body’s muscle building engine.
Nutrition: Once the spark is ignited you need to fuel it in order to get things rolling.
Without proper fuel and nourishment that muscle-building spark will quickly burn
out, and you’ll be left with nothing to show for your efforts.
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no47
more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.
FAST MASS BUILDING PRESENTS
Each of these 3 components is like a leg of a tripod. If one leg is missing the whole
thing will just topple over and your progress will come to a screeching halt. Now
of all 3 of these equally important elements, the one that people usually have the
most trouble with is Proper Nutrition.
When you break down each part and really look into them individually, it’s no
wonder that nutrition is the most challenging…
You see for most people Training is actually the easy part. After all, you simply
have to go to the gym, workout for an hour, and then you are finished. You can
forget about it and carry on with the rest of your day.
But Nutrition isn’t like that. You can’t just do it once a day and forget about it.
Instead nutrition is an all day event because every few hours you have to plan
and eat a meal. And to make it every more complex our whole social life is based
around eating.
Whenever you visit family, it’s usually centered around having a meal together.
Whenever you hangout with your buddies it’s usually over drinks and snacks. This
can make following a proper muscle building nutrition program quite challenging,
especially when your family and friends don’t have the same muscle building goals
as you do.
Now obviously, no one can eat and train perfectly all the time. There will be times
when you skip meals, cheat on your diet, miss workouts, etc. but as long as you
focus on the big picture and stick to the plan most of the time, you’ll move yourself
in the right direction towards your muscle building goals.
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no48
more than four hours apart and one gallon of water a day.
FAST MASS BUILDING PRESENTS
You see a big mistake a lot of people make is falling into the All or Nothing trap.
So many people say to themselves; “If I can’t do it perfectly, then I won’t do it at
all.” They maybe super strict and meticulous about their eating for a few weeks in
a row, doing everything spot on and to the letter. But if they fall off the bandwagon
and mess up a little bit, they get discouraged, quit, and then go back to their old
eating habits.
The key to success with any program is being consistent with it over the long
term. You have one of the most well planned out training and nutrition programs
available right here in your hands. But if you are not consistent with it, you will not
get the results you want. Simple as that!
A killer tip that I learned from Dr. John Berardi, and one that I want to share with
you is: When it comes to real world results, there is virtually NO difference between
following a nutrition program perfectly 90% of the time, and following a nutrition
program perfectly 100% of the time.
And if you were so stubborn as to try and stick to a perfect nutrition program 100%
of the time, the stress you’d have to undertake and sacrifices you’d have to make in
your life would not be worth the messily extra bit of progress you’d make.
Having this 10% of leeway factored into your Nutrition Program makes it possible
to be social when needed and still stick to your program over the long term. So
when you have that big family BBQ get together, or you are out for a couple beers
with your buddies on a Friday night, you can simply count those as part of your
10% meals. And then just pick things back up for your very next meal.
I’ve been bodybuilding for over 20 years and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not
perfect… I’ll sometimes give into my junk food cravings, I’ll miss a meal from time

So my advice to you when it comes to any nutrition program you follow; be it the
21-Day Fast Mass Building program or any other program you choose to follow,
make sure that you: “Strive For Progress, NOT Perfection”.
If you fall off the nutrition bandwagon (and most likely you will) just take it in
stride, chalk it up as one of your 10% not so perfect meals, and pick things up
where you left off for your very next meal.

As was mentioned in the previous sections, the key to making rapid fast muscle
gains is to trigger your body to release natural anabolic hormones by implementing
The Anabolic Amplifier Effect. The main way we do this is by cycling back and
forth between the 7-day low calorie “Primer Phase” and the 14-day high calorie
“Overload Phase”.
These calorie guidelines have worked really well for the majority of people that we
have coached with this program. However, in some rare cases we needed to adjust
the caloric intake up or down for certain individuals. But everyone started their very
first 21-Day Fast Mass Building Cycle with the same basic nutritional guidelines.
To make this whole process easier to understand and follow, we’ve included a
separate Nutrition Guide Manual (it is a part of the complete download package).
In that manual we’ll break down the entire process of calculating your perfect
meal plans for both the low calorie “Primer Phase” and the high calorie “Overload
Phase”.
Rather then simply outlining a generic diet plan based only on caloric intake. We’ve
taken things to the next level and with specific nutrient timing strategies. This
way you’ll structure your meals so that all the food you eat gets shuttled towards
building lean mass, and not getting stored as excess bodyfat.
In fact this concept of nutrient timing is so powerful that most of our initial
21-Day Fast Mass Building Test Subjects actually LOST bodyfat while at the
same time building lean muscle. That’s pretty much unheard of with any other
mass building program!
But for now, let’s move on and cover the training portion of the program. I want you
to grasp the full overview of how the entire 21-Day system fits together as a whole,
before we get bogged down in the nitty gritty details of number crunching.

Fast Mass Workouts…
When it comes to your workouts the main thing you need to focus on is making
gradual progress overtime. A bigger muscle is a stronger muscle (and vice versa).

So by making your main training focus on gaining muscular strength, you’ll also
gain muscular size!
Now there are all kinds of workout routines that you can follow; from total body
workouts, to dozens of different body part split routines, and countless set and rep
patterns that you could implement within those workout routines.
And you know what, they ALL work to a certain extent. You could talk to 10 very
successful bodybuilders and ask them to explain their workout routine to you, and
chances are you would get 10 totally different answers.
That is probably the most important thing to remember for making consistent
progress with your workouts. You can follow most any type of workout routine and
you will make good progress for the first few weeks (provided that you are getting
adequate nutrition, rest, etc.). But generally after a few weeks of following a set
workout program your progress will slow down and eventually you will no longer
make progress with that routine.

Adding muscle is a very unnatural thing to your body. You must constantly throw
curve balls at your muscles to get them to grow. Now from my own personal
experience of having coached hundreds of people one-on-one in the gym (and
indirectly coaching tens of thousands of people online), I have found that most
people make their best muscle and strength gains within the first 2-3 weeks of
starting a new workout program.
However, each time you do that new routine it gets easier and easier. You start
to feel more comfortable as your body gets accustomed to the exercises. You
feel stronger and eventually you will no longer get sore from doing that workout
anymore. In other words your body adapts and your muscles grow.
But the problem is that once you adapt to a workout routine, your muscle growth
slows down and you reach a training plateau. This is where 99% of all gym
members are stuck. Most of the regulars that you see in the gym day after day look
no different now then they did this time last year. And chances are they’ll probably
look exactly the same this time next year (if they are still working out).
Now while you should constantly strive to increase the weights you lift with progressive
overload. This is actually the hardest and slowest way to go about making progress.
Now don’t get me wrong, progressive overload is VERY important and does provide
new muscle stimulation. But the “easiest” and “fastest” way to stimulate growth is
with new training stimulus in the form of new workouts and new exercises.

When you did your first deadlift you may have worked up to 135 pounds on the
barbell. Chances are you struggled and felt awkward doing them. After all, it does
take some practice to get the technique and coordination down pat. Most likely
you felt sore throughout your back, hips, and hamstrings for a few days afterwards.
As a lot of novice lifters will say: “I worked muscles I never knew I had”.
The next time you did deadlifts chances are the weights felt much lighter and you prob-
ably worked up to lifting at least 20+ pounds more then the first time you did them.
And they probably felt less awkward to perform the second time around as well.
The third time you did deadlifts you probably added another 20+ pounds to the bar
and performed them with even better form again. This kind of rapid progress and
strength gains usually keeps up for a few weeks before it starts to taper off.
Granted some of the fast strength gains will come from improved lifting technique,
but a lot of it also comes from the unique muscle stimulation provided by the new
exercise routine. So if you want to make the fastest muscle gains possible you must
go through the process of regularly selecting new exercises and workouts and then
let your body adapt and grow.
Now here in the 21-Day Fast Mass Building program, Vince and I have included
several different workout programs that you can follow. Each one will provide
different forms of training variety and unique muscle stimulation.
And because the 21-Day Fast Mass Building program is a 3-week training cycle,
it fits in perfectly with the time frame for making rapid muscle and strength gains.
You could literally follow a different workout with each cycle through the program.
This way you’ll not only be maximizing your muscle gains through the Anabolic
Amplifier Effect of the nutritional cycling, but you’ll also be maximizing your
strength gains through unique muscle stimulation from the different workout
routines. Your friends, family, and fellow gym members are going to be shocked by
the rapid transformation you make from this strategic mass building program. They
are going to want to know what the heck you are doing to grow so fast…

Prior to hitting the gym floor for your actual weight-training routine, you should
take some time to warm-up and mentally prepare yourself for the workout that’s
to follow. I’m going to outline my personal pre-workout “warm-up ritual” that I do
at the beginning of each and every workout.
I’ll start my workout with 5-10 minutes of moderate intensity cardio that moves the
total body. My personal favorite warm-up cardio is using the rower or the elliptical
machine with the moving arm handles. This will help circulate blood flow throughout
the entire body, increase your core temperature, and get a light sweat going.
Now if you don’t have a rower or elliptical at your gym don’t worry about it, just use
whatever cardio machines you have available. After the cardio I’ll go through the
following series of exercises to warm-up all my major muscle groups.

You’ll notice that I do a fair bit of warm-up for the shoulders / rotator cuff here.
The reason for this is because shoulder injuries are quite common in the gym, and
the main cause is simply not warming up properly before lifting heavy weights.
Your shoulders are a very critical area. They are involved with virtually every
upper body exercise you do. Plus they also come into play with a lot of lower body
exercises as well. For example, holding a barbell across your back while squatting
and grabbing a barbell while deadlifting places a lot of stress on the shoulders

After this “warm-up ritual” I’ll move into the actual scheduled workout routine for
that day. But even though I’ve already done the cardio and the warm-up exercises
listed above, I’ll still start off light for each and every weight training exercise and
do as many progressively heavier warm-up sets as I feel I need before moving to my
top working weight.
You should NEVER skip on your warm-ups. Granted they will add an extra 10 or 20
minutes or so to your workout time. But if you don’t do them and get injured, you
could be unable to workout for several weeks while you are laid up and recovering
from that injury. So make sure that you ALWAYS take the time to do a proper
warm-up.
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to doing warm-up sets. While most
workout programs are very detailed in outlining the actual workout routine itself,
they are usually very vague when it comes to talking about warm-up sets. The
general description for warm-ups is simply “Do as many warm-up sets as you feel
you need.”
The problem is that most people don’t really know how many warm-up sets they
need. I’ll often get asked questions such as:
» Etc…

One thing you need to understand is that the more advanced you get, the more
warm-up sets you’ll need. Just think about it; the more advanced you are, the
stronger you are, and the more force you are able to generate.
For example, an advanced bodybuilder who can squat 400 pounds is going to need
to perform a lot more warm-up sets than a novice who can only squat 100 pounds.
The heavier you lift, the more warm-up sets you need to do. This also applies to the
different exercises you do within your actual workout. You’ll need a lot more warm-
up sets for a 300 pound deadlift than you will for a 30 pound dumbbell curl.
I’m going to give you some sample numbers from my own personal workouts. This
way you can get an idea of how I go about my warm-up sets and how I transition
from light warm-up sets, to progressively heavier warm-up sets, and up to my
top working weight sets. Now obviously the weights listed are just for example
purposes. The weights you lift in your own workouts may be lower (or higher)
depending on your personal strength levels.
I work my way up doing several progressively heavier warm-up sets until I get up
to my top working weight. You’ll notice that when I get to the “moderate warm-up

Once I get to my top weight, I’ll do my working sets; 3 sets of 10 reps, 5 sets of
5 reps, etc. or what ever my scheduled workout is for that day.
Again, I’ll use a similar pattern here as I did with the bench press. But because it
is a heavier exercise I’ll do more warm-up sets.
The weights increments used in these examples go along with the standard
weights used at most commercial gyms. 45 pound barbells, 45 pound weight
plates, 25 pound weight plates, etc. You can adjust your own personal warm-up set
Eat your meals 3 hours apart - No less than two and no66

You can perform these warm up sets in a fairly fast pace. You won’t need to take
long rest periods between sets, especially for the lighter sets, as they will not be
physically exhausting. But as you get into your heavier warm-up sets you may want
to take a minute or two rest between sets.
Generally most workouts start with the big heavy compound exercises first and
then move on to smaller isolation exercises afterwards. With smaller exercises you
won’t need to go through as many warm-up sets. The weights lifted will be much
lighter and your body will already be physically warmed up by this stage of your
workout. The purpose of doing lighter warm-up sets here is to just prepare your
body for mechanics of the actual exercise you are going to be doing.
Most people feel stronger on their 2nd set of an exercise. During your 1st set you
may have lots of energy, but you are not totally in the groove of doing the exercise.
By the time you do your 2nd set your body is in the groove of the movement and
you’ll generally feel stronger. Then with each set after that, fatigue comes into play
and your strength will gradually decline as you muscles get tired.
So getting your body comfortable with the exercise mechanics is another reason
for doing lighter warm-up sets. This way you’ll get in the groove of the exercise
with a lighter warm-up set and then be able to go 100% with your actual working
weight sets.

Once you are in the middle of your workout and physically warmed up, all you need
to do is perform a quick warm-up set with approx. 50% of your top weight, another
warm-up set with approx. 75% of your top weight, and then move right into your
top working weight for that exercise. This will be plenty to get your body in the
groove of the exercise and give it your all for the actual heavy working sets.
If you strictly follow these guidelines for doing progressively heavier warm-up sets
during your workouts you’ll greatly reduce your risk of injury. You’ll also improve
your lifting technique and enhance the overall results from your weight training
workouts.

Fitness Model Workout
Basic Introduction
» Always consult a physician before beginning this or any exercise program.
» For maximal fat burning during the low calorie Primer Phase, 40-minutes of low
intensity cardio such as walking on the Stairmaster or walking on a steep incline of
a treadmill is strongly recommended.
» For maximal muscle-growth during the high calorie Overload Phase, cut your
cardio to about half of what you do during the Primer Phase. You can still do your
cardio warm up / cool down as normal. But limit yourself to 3 easy sessions per
week. No need to push the cardio hard during the Overload Phase.

» Safety Step #3: Keep increasing poundage but never sacrifice technique, range
of motion or speed for extra weight.
» So how can you continue on using a full range of motion without having to
change the load? The answer lies in biomechanics. By quickly switching up your
foot stance, grip, angle on a bench, you can in fact continue your set beyond failure
using constant weight because the weight actually feels lighter in certain positions.
And check this out, you’re not limited to one switch - you can incorporate multiple
switches that really smash your muscle-building threshold. This is a completely
new experience and one we’ve never revealed in any other program.

» Extended Sets Equals Non Stop Muscle Gains. For all exercises you’ll begin
with a weight you can do for 8-12 reps. You will not need to do any forced reps or
drop sets since the failure is built into each extended set exercise. Here are a number
of benefits of training this way: since you’re not moving through as many exercises
and you’re targeting the same muscle group from the same work station you’ll save
a lot of time in the gym so the Fitness Model Workout is excellent if you’re limited
for time.
Don’t interpret that as the program being easier though. Often times, shorter
workouts mean higher intensity and a more gruelling training session, so don’t think
we let you off the hook! You’ll find Extended Sets help you train beyond failure,
achieve a better pump, breakdown more tissue, allow your muscle to experience
longer time under tension, achieve more work in less time, add more angles and
are more time efficient. Combine this with the power of the Anabolic Amplifier
Effect from the nutrition program we included and you’re going to experience some
serious growth.

Notice: Every time you go through the three-day split you will switch the order of body parts
upside down. This is intentionally designed to give smaller muscle groups a chance to train first
while fresh and to provide equal development and prevent imbalances.
» During the low calorie Primer Phase the primary goal is maximal fat loss and
caloric expenditure to set up the Anabolic Amplifier Effect. Since the Fitness
Model Workout already uses a higher frequency of training, you can simply add in
30+ minutes of cardio per day. You can perform the cardio immediately after your

» 8-12 Reps Baby! I have trained all sorts of rep ranges and when it comes
time to pick the most anabolic rep range, 8 to 12 reps per set is the money range.
Anything less and it can become a challenge to get good form when performing
each rep and anything higher is simply not heavy enough to force maximal mass in
our short 21-day window.
» 3-4 Sets Baby! We are firm believers that performing multiple sets of an
exercise and pushing yourself to the limit with every working set is necessary for
generating high intensity and providing maximum stimulation to completely
destroy the muscles and spur on new growth.
» Forced Reps and Strip Setting! These are the only two advanced and high
intensity techniques you’ll rely on during the Muscle Model Workout. Strip setting
should be done on your third and fourth set of every exercise. A typical strip set
should be an additional 8-12 reps, which will require you to strip the weight 50-
70%. You can also employ forced reps on your third and fourth sets to reach your
8-12 rep range followed by your strip set. Bottom line: your third and fourth sets
should be all out sets where you leave nothing to spare. But don’t ever sacrifice
your lifting form for safety reasons.
» 60 Seconds Rest. This is the most anabolic rest period because it elicits the
most natural testosterone and growth hormone into your system. If you’re training
with a partner, simply go back and forth and if you’re alone, use a stopwatch to
keep the rest periods measured and honest.
Week 1:
1st set - 12 reps @75 lbs
2nd set - 10 reps @80 lbs

Now if those particular days do not fit your schedule you can train on different
days. However you should never train more than 2 days in a row before taking

» During the “Primer Phase” the primary goal is maximal fat loss and caloric
restriction to set you up for the Anabolic Amplifier Effect. For this reason I
personally do not like to do heavy mass building workouts while following a
low calorie diet. So during the low calorie “Primer Phase” I would recommend
following the Bodyweight 500 Circuit Workout that’s outlined in the next
section. Then when you switch to the high calorie “Overload Phase” you can
use the Hardcore Bodybuilder Workout as outlined here.

» The rest periods between sets for the heavy mass building 5x5 exercises should
be upwards of 3 minutes between sets. You need to be fully rested so that you

» For the smaller isolation exercises you can rest between 1 and 2 minutes
between sets, basically just long enough to catch your breath and prepare for your
next set.
How Much Weight To Lift. You should pyramid your weights up with each and
each workout. Here is an example.

» This workout is going to provide you with some higher volume training variety
that’s totally different from the heavy lower rep training that you typically do
during you regular workouts.
» A workout of all bodyweight exercises will give your joints, tendons, and
ligaments a break from doing heavy weight-training exercises. Doing bodyweight
movements tend to be easier and less jarring on the joints and provide a unique
form of muscle stimulation.
» Another benefit from bodyweight exercises is that they provide a higher level
of neuromuscular activation compared to exercises that just move your limbs.
For example, pull-ups are harder than pull downs and squats are harder than leg
presses. This is because you are moving your entire body in a real 3 dimensional
environment and not just your arms or legs.

morning and strength training in the evening (or vice versa).
The way the program works is you’ll do a single set of each exercise and repeat the
circuit 4 times. For example, do a set of push ups, rows, lunges, hypers, and sit ups.
Then repeat for a total of 4 circuits.

tools you need to build an impressive lean muscular physique. We’ve covered the
theory and science behind the program, the actual workouts that you need to
follow in the gym, the eating plans for the different training phases, etc.
There is another element to the whole muscle building equation that can make or
break your success. This is so critical that it literally separates the winners from the
losers (or the gainers from the non-gainers).
If you truly want to succeed in building your body it has to be more than a simple
pastime or a hobby that you do on the side. You can’t go to the gym and workout
every now and then and expect to get big and ripped. It has to be a lifestyle that
you live day in and day out.

Have you ever heard anyone say something along the lines of:
I hear about this scenario from people all the time. After all this is my job. Do you
want to know the kind of progress that these “On & Off” guys make?
They are literally just spinning their wheels going nowhere in terms of building
a stronger and more muscular body. Now yes when they do get that shot of
motivation and hit the gym for a little while they will make some progress. But as
soon as life gets in the way and they quit, they lose it all again and go right back
to square one.
The key to success is consistency over the long-term. A simple half-baked training
program that is followed consistently will produce much greater results than a
perfectly designed training program that’s followed “On & Off”.
It is important to remember that your quest for muscles goes far beyond what you
do in the gym. It involves what you eat, the activities you partake in, how much
you sleep, your stress levels, and so on.

Exactly what you should eat, when to eat it, etc. has already been covered in our
sample meal plans. So basically what I want to cover here is some extra tips to help
keep you on track when life gets in the way so that you can still reap the results
from the 21-Day Fast Mass Building Program.
Junk Food
Eating junk food drains your body of energy and loads it up with toxins. This goes
beyond simply getting lean, but it affects your entire athletic performance. I mean
if you had a high performance sports car would you fill it up with cheap grade fuel?
Or if you had a $100,000 racehorse would you feed it cake and cookies?
The easiest way to prevent eating junk food is to not bring it in your home. If the
junk food isn’t there, than you can’t eat it. Simple as that!
Ideally you would go through your kitchen cupboards and refrigerator and get all
the junk food out of your home. I personally do not keep any junk food in my house.
So if I get a craving and feel like snacking I’ll have some air popped popcorn, veggies
and dip, or just eat a full meal.
Now this is the “ideal” situation. However, if you live with family members who are
not on board with your healthy lifestyle this may cause some conflicts. I know when
I was living at home with my parents there was no way my mom would give up her
ice cream. And my dad always had to have a bag of potato chips on hand. So this did
create temptations for me. But if it is at all possible I’d suggest you opt to live in a junk
food free home. It will be much better for you and your physique in the long run.

A little know fact about water is that the less you drink, the more likely you will
become over-trained with your workouts. Muscle tissue is comprised of over 70%
water. Sweating from hard workouts causes you to lose body water. Eating a
high protein diet increases your body’s need for water. And water is needed as a
transport mechanism for various nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. If your water
intake is too low, your ability to transport nutrients to your muscles becomes
compromised, you’ll lose muscle fullness, and toxins will build up in the body.
To stay adequately hydrated you should drink 0.6 ounces of water per pound of
bodyweight daily. To put this in perspective a 200 lb. man should drink 120 ounces
of water over the course of the day. That’s about 15 glasses of water daily. While
this may seem like a lot, it is not that hard to consume this much water. Simply
having a glass or two with each meal would equal about 10 glasses. And then
sipping water from a water bottle during the day and during your workouts can
easily make up for the other 5 glasses. As I am writing this right now I have a water
bottle on my desk that I’ve been sipping from all morning. When I’m at the gym I
always keep a water bottle with me at all times so I can take sips in between sets
to keep myself hydrated.

The whole idea of eating 6 well-balanced meals per day is by no means a new
concept. But for the majority of people the problem is they don’t have the time or
the will power to eat properly.
However, when you plan things out right this is just not the case. Eating a “junk-
food” diet actually takes just as much (or more) time then it does to eat a
healthy muscle building diet. For example, at lunch time getting in your car and
heading on over to the fast food joint, waiting in line at the drive through, and then
heading back to work takes a lot more time then if you had your food prepared in
advance and ready to eat.
Plan ahead for several meals at a time. It doesn’t take much more time to cook
for several meals in advance then it does to cook for a single meal at a time!

In order to prepare and eat healthy nutritious meals you need to have the
necessary kitchen supplies. Make sure to get yourself a good set of pots, non-stick
frying pans, measuring cups and spoons, food scale, a good set of kitchen knives,
blender, kitchen grill (such as the George Foreman grill), electric kettle, good
quality spatulas and other cooking utensils like tongs, ladle spoons, etc. These are
the basic tools that you’ll need to prepare your meals.
Get a couple shaker bottles for mixing up protein drinks and also get an insulated
lunch bag or small hand held cooler for taking your food with you to work. You will
be able to get all of these kitchen supplies at places like Wal-Mart for a fair price.
Also check out the Dollar Stores as they often have decent quality kitchen utensils
for very low cost.

With the low calorie “Primer Phase” the main thing you need to focus on is
depleting your body and going into a caloric deficit. This is so you can set up the
Anabolic Amplifier Effect and make those rapid rebound gains during the high
calorie “Overload Phase”.
Now the biggest screw up that you can make during the “Primer Phase” is eating
too darn much and going over your required calorie intake for the day. So if you do
fall off the bandwagon and eat too much at a particular meal, a little rescue tip you
can use is to simply have an Iso-Smooth protein shake mixed in water for your next
meal.
This will still provide your body with some quality protein, but keep your calories
low so you can make up for the excess calories that you ate earlier. Now I’m not
saying that this is ok to do all the time, but for those occasional times that you do
get off track you can replace some meals with protein shakes to help correct the
calorie balance.
With the “Overload Phase” the opposite is true, the biggest screw up you can make
is eating too little and not reaching your desired calorie intake for the day. So make
sure to do whatever you can do get all your meals in for the day.
But if you do skip a meal then having a protein bar can help. You should keep some
protein bars on hand at your work, in your locker, gym bag, brief case, etc. just in
case you get caught without a meal. Snacking on nuts and trail mix is another way
to bump up your calories as well. Again these are not the ideal scenarios, but it sure
beats missing a meal and not consuming your required calorie intake.
As for cheating on your diet, this should be avoided all together during the low
calorie “Primer Phase”, but if you do have a cheat meal during the high calorie
“Overload Phase” it’s not that big of a deal. Just pick things up for your very next
meal and continue with your eating schedule.

The simple answer here is to avoid alcohol entirely and you’ll be better off. We
don’t need alcohol to survive and it really has no place in a muscle-building
program. However, social drinking is a part of most people’s lifestyle to some
degree or another so it needs to be addressed.
Having a drink or two on occasion is a part of enjoying life for many people
(Lee & Vince included) and it’s important to find a lifestyle balance for the sake
of your long term happiness and success.
Alcohol causes dehydration. The kidneys must filter very large amounts of
water in order to break down the alcohol, and this can result in severe dehydration
within the body. As I mentioned above water plays an absolutely crucial role in the
muscle-building process, and being even slightly dehydrated is a recipe for disaster.
The muscles alone are comprised of over 70% water.
Alcohol consumption causes vitamins A, C, the B’s, calcium, zinc and phosphorus to
all be drained from your body at rapid rates. Vitamins and minerals keep every little
process in your body functioning properly, and many of these processes involve
muscle growth.
Alcohol also inhibits fat burning. While your liver is busy metabolizing alcohol, it

This is a phase that we came up with while partying in Las Vegas… It’s a given that

Despite what the picture above depicts, we are NOT heavy drinkers. But we both
have a good sense of humor and like to have fun when we go out clubbing. What
you’ll find below is my personal “secret” strategy for minimizing the damage done
by drinking.
First off, I don’t keep any alcohol in my house what so ever. If it’s not there then you
can’t drink it. The only time there is ever any alcohol brought in is the occasional
bottle of wine for a special dinner or something like that.
This way I always have a glass in my hand so it looks like I’m drinking and having a
good time. There is no social pressure from friends to “drink” because they already
think that I am. But only 1 out of every 3 drinks contains alcohol. So I can be out
and have a half dozen “drinks” during the night, but only 2 are alcoholic drinks. This
really helps minimize the damage done while still allowing me to enjoy myself and
be social with friends.
Other alternatives that you can include as well are non-alcoholic beer, non-
alcoholic wine, etc. In fact this past New Years Eve Lee and his girlfriend Trish
literally celebrated with a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne and rang in 2011

America. More and more public places these days are becoming “Smoke Free”

common knowledge. If you haven’t heard yet that smoking is bad for you, than you
must have been living under a rock for the past 20 years.
As for recreational drugs the same advice applies - simply avoid them altogether.
Not only are they illegal and can land you in jail, but they are very addicting and
devastating to your overall health and fitness.
These things are not socially acceptable so there shouldn’t be any social pressure or
reason to use them. And if your friends are pressuring you into using drugs, maybe
you should re-consider the company you keep!

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How do I determine whether or not to start with 1-week of cutting,
2-weeks of bulking or 2-weeks of bulking and 1-week of cutting?
Answer: First off, you are responsible for your results so we ultimately encourage
you to experiment with both methods and monitor your results. The mirror and
personal feedback will give you the honest and accurate answer.
Here is our advice for your first 21-day cycle: If you’re over 15-20% body fat then
begin with 1-week of cutting and 2-weeks of bulking. If you’re less than 15% body
fat then begin with 2-weeks of bulking and 1-week of cutting.
In other words, if you’re starting with a “bigger and not so lean” physique, let’s cut
some fat with the Primer Phase (1-week of cutting) and maximize clean gains in
your Overload Phase (2-weeks of bulking). If you’re starting with a “skinny and
small” physique, let’s pack on some quick size using a 2-week bulking phase then
1-week cutting phase.

We encourage you to try all three of the programs, which gives you three unique
21-day cycles! Keep in mind, these programs can act as stand-alone programs for
longer than 3-weeks so if you’re making crazy gains on one of them – keep crushing
it and stick to it until you max out it’s rewards.
Vince personally used the Muscle Model Physique workout to gain 7.4 lbs of muscle
and lose 1 pound of fat in 21-days. That is his favorite one but Vince has never tried
Lee’s Hardcore Bodybuilder workout so we’ll see if he changes his mind!

to complete it, you’re welcome to ride that out while using the nutrition protocol
from 21-Day Fast Mass Building. In fact, that’s what many of our Test Group people

Answer: Yes!
» 1. Try to eat a fast digesting protein like white fish before your workout.
This will ensure you have plenty of amino acids in your blood stream during
your workout to create a very anabolic environment, especially if you’re
using the Workout Nutrition drinks.
» 3. Eat a faster digesting carbohydrate after your workout like white rice or
potatoes. You want rapid glycogen replenishment post workout.
» 4. Eat your fattier proteins like salmon and beef in the evening time and a
few hours before your workout because this protein is slower-releasing.
» 5. Never miss a meal. You really have no excuse by using the Iso-Smooth
Protein Powder (or your personal preference of protein powder) mixed with
fruit and oils to make a complete meal.

» b. Steady state cardio. Walking, hiking, biking or any form of activity you
can carry on a conversation the entire time.
» c. Metabolic-Resistance cardio. This is when you do bodyweight exercises
for high reps with little rest in a circuit fashion.
We know you probably hate this answer but it’s really personal preference. Here are
some STAPLE recommendations. You should perform at least three 30-35 cardio
workouts a week – all the time – all year round – for general cardiovascular health.
If you ever get to the point where this becomes an effort – OMG!
We recommend that you begin with steady state cardio three times a week for
30-35 minute sessions and assess the results. This form of cardio is the first line of
defense against muscle-wasting that occurs with more intense forms of cardio like
interval cardio and metabolic-resistance cardio.
If you’re not pleased with what’s happening or not happening to your body fat
levels, adjust at the end of the week in small increments. For example, if you’re
body fat levels jump up too high after the first week of the “Overload Phase”, simply
add a fourth cardio session on week three. Keep your changes simple and gradual.

Answer: No. Not one. The reason is because the meal plans are already based
around macronutrient timing – when all the carbs are timed at breakfast, pre
workout and post workout so they will ensure maximum muscle growth and
minimal fat gain through hormone regulation.
The only, slight, modification we can think of is the work volume on some
of the weight training workouts. You might want to stick to the end of the
recommendations and scale up. All other details are the same.

On top of that, go through the program another time and apply to the two
following changes:
1) Eliminate all cardio.
2) Add an extra 500 calories a day to what you’re currently eating.
Those two tricks will get you growing.
Answer: This can happen and if it does, don’t panic. If you gain more fat than
muscle, something went wrong with your food choices and food timing.

fat-ratio and if you haven’t started yet, consider these tips to ensure you aren’t
the person asking this question!
» 2. If you can, perform these cardio workouts away from your weight training
workouts e.g. If you train weights in the evening, do cardio in the morning,
preferably on a empty stomach.
» 3. Drink a big cup of black coffee before your cardio workouts to stimulate
fat-burning.
» 4. Examine the times you are consuming your carbohydrates. They should all
be placed between your breakfast, pre workout and post workout meals. These
are the times that it’ll be very hard to have your carbs get converted to fat.
» 5. Are you maintaining your meal frequency at least every 3-4 hours?

and most likely even help you to lose fat like many users experience.
