FREE Special Report – The 7 Worst Testosterone Killers
http://www.criticalbench.com/7worst/

John Hansen has been a bodybuilder for 40 years! Yes, since the age of 15 years old, John has been into building his physique and NEVER stopped. He’s 55 and completely RIPPED!

Now his long term commitment certainly shows as he maintains a ripped muscular physique all year long BUT what about the average guys?? What can they do to make changes to their diet, training and lifestyle??

John reveals his 4 Muscle Building Principles that have guided him over his amazing bodybuilding journey as he continues to be muscular & ripped all year long…

#1 – FREE WEIGHTS ARE A MUST – everything else is nice here and there but if you’re looking to add dense muscle and strength, you MUST use free weights consistently.

#2 – DO COMPOUND MOVEMENTS – while doing isolation exercises is fun and really helps to emphasize certain areas of the body, nothing impacts your overall physique and anabolic response to lifting weights like the BIG Compound Exercises… i.e. Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Bent Over Row, Overhead Press

#3 – USE HEAVY WEIGHTS REGULARLY – now regularly means frequently like 12 times per week. This can be different for everyone in terms of structure but going heavier with the primary lifts consistently is what best connects the muscles of the body and delivers the greatest impact on the body as a whole.

NOTE – work within your limits. Lift safely. Train with a spotter or partner when lifting heavy. Be smart. Go lighter on days in between and have a system in place to follow to keep you on track.

#4 – DON’T TRAIN EVERY DAY – train hard 4 days each week and use those other 3 days to recover.

You can do other light activities to move the body but keep it “easy” and helpful… not too intense. Remember, proper sleep and rest helps to maximize hormone response to all of that training and eating. You are anabolic when you’re sleeping and resting, that’s when you GROW. Plus this enhances your immune system and extends your lifting longevity.

Thank you so much John for these amazing tips! If you’re committed and consistent to these Muscle Building Principles, you will absolutely see results.

How to Get BIGGER By Doing LESS (Start Doing This!)

Let’s face it, building muscle is no easy feat and requires you to consistently push yourself harder and harder in the gym week after week. But, there is one often overlooked aspect of training that can enable you to gain more size and strength more effectively, all with less effort than you’re currently putting in. And it’s with something called deload weeks. What is a deload week? A deload week is basically a week where you take it easier on your training.This is done by significantly decreasing your workload for that week. This then enables your body to fully recover and come back bigger and stronger afterwards. Why should you deload? Well, the reasoning behind this is based on research of how the body deals with and recovers from the physical stress of our workouts. Basically, with our training we provide physical stress to our muscles during our workouts. This breaks down portions of our muscle and as a result actually temporarily decreases components of our fitness like our strength. Then, as we recover by using rest days and deload weeks, the body adapts and comes back bigger and stronger for the next session. This is a phenomenon commonly known as supercompensation. Thus, if you’re training hard and consistently, then a deload week is something that you must add to your routine. But unfortunately, most people just don’t know how to deload properly.

So let’s go through how to do a deload week. If you’re a beginner just starting out in the gym or someone who just doesn’t push hard during their workouts, then a full deload week isn’t needed. Instead, you’ll want to focus on getting stronger every week until you reach a plateau. Then, you can lighten the weight you’re stuck on by 10% or so before re-trying that weight the next session. However, as an intermediate lifter you’ll need to implement a deload week. As for how often to deload in this case, you’ll want to run it every 4-8 weeks. And to run it successfully, you’ll want to still go to the gym and perform your usual workouts by lift about 10% ligher than you usually do and cut your workout volume in half. This can be done by doing half the number of sets and less reps for example. As for your deload week cardio and deload week nutrition, simply eat at maintenance calories and avoid any high intensity cardio. The same applies if you’re deloading on a cut. By implementing this into your routine, you’ll notice a big improvement in your fatigue levels and your ability to continuously progress in the gym.
