MUSCLE SECRETS
Â
GOLDEN RULE - Stay healthy.
Injuries & illness slow gains.
Connective tissue & joint health always trumps muscle ability.
Pushing through worsening pain will slow your gains.
(If the joint can’t handle the load go slower, use less weight, find an alternative movement.)
Â
Slow Gains Aren’t Just Annoying…
Slow gains CRUSH DREAMS…
Wasted time, energy and a world of missed opportunities.
All real men want a great body.
Very few achieve it.
Either they give up or battle along in frustration.
If protein shakes and influencer programs worked there would be more athletic men wouldn’t there?
My mentor taught me “Ignorance that is the biggest risk.”
Like DM’ing the “pretty woman” who’s messaging you on instagram.
or
Sending someone your BTC because they’re going to send you twice as much back.
or
Claiming your inheritance from “Nigerian Royalty” by email.
Ignorance about muscle can ruin your body and your life.
This might sound like exaggeration until you consider…
Lack of confidence is stopping you from levelling up your social circle that would set new standards for you in all areas of life.
Lack of physical presence is making you less attractive to the women you’d love to date.
Lack of confidence is holding you back from the jobs and business opportunities you could be taking…
The true cost of lacking muscle is much greater than your ego not liking who it sees in the mirror.

Muscle myths that turn you into Homer Simpson…
#1 It’s mostly about diet - More fat than muscle gained
#2 Soreness equals gains
#3 Train insane mentality leads you to getting sick and demotivated.
#4 Health doesn’t matter… then gut, skin and other health issues make you LESS attractive and confident NOT more.
#5 Blaming genetics… You feel like mass gain isn’t for you…. like what worked for others doesn’t work for you… you give up on your dream.
#6 Focussing on a calorie surplus rather than Tension Capacity.
#7 Picking up an injury that you can’t identify the cause or solution for.
Â
When you have new mental models for mass you’ll unlock new belief, new intensity and new gains.
