A Critical Time Period For Extreme Muscle Growth

A Critical Time Period For
Extreme Muscle Growth

The line between extreme muscle growth success and failure during your workouts is far thinner than you realize.

Just as hundredths of a second are the difference between gold and silver in a sprinter's race, hundredths of a second periods will also be the difference between extreme muscle growth and mediocre gains.

Actually, your entire margin of body building success in the gym can be whittled down to about 1 minute. That's right, how well you handle a tiny 60 second period during your workouts will determine if you achieve no, minor, or extreme muscle growth.

Although it typically takes an hour to complete a workout, only 60 seconds of that hour will decide the size of your gains.

You may be looking around in bewilderment right now trying to understand where there is going, but let me explain…

Regardless of how many reps your set contains, the true benefit of the set comes from what occurs during the last rep or two.

Muscle growth is a result of stress, and the only reps in your set that are stressful enough to activate the body's extreme muscle growth processes are those that you complete when you are approaching muscular failure.

If your set has 6 reps, then the first four reps are completed for the sole purpose of getting you to the fifth and sixth reps. Those first four reps have little impact on producing extreme muscle growth, but must be done in order so that the muscles will be overloaded on the final two reps.

Simply put, you will only activate your body's extreme muscle growth mechanisms that will allow you to gain weight from the final reps of your set. Your results will be solely dependent on your ability to push yourself to complete those final reps in spite of intense pain and stress your body is feeling.

Anybody that reads my work consistently is aware that I am a huge proponent of training to muscular failure to produce extreme muscle growth. There is just no more effective method to activate your body's adaptive responses and attain extreme muscle growth than to push yourself to the point where you are incapable of moving the muscles one more inch.

The more you approach the point of muscular failure, the more drastically the body is forced to respond. This time period literally comes down to single seconds. If you release the weights 5-6 sooner than the next person (it's probably closer to 1 or 2 seconds), you will be dramatically hindering your muscle growth and you will not approach extreme muscle growth.

So, how did I come up with this 60 second time frame?

Well, if we presume that you will complete 10 max-intensity sets per workout with a margin of 6 seconds separating success and failure, then you have 60 seconds total during your workout in which you will push through will complete effort and get extreme muscle growth or give in and accept mediocre gains.

It's a fact that your ability to achieve extreme muscle growth literally comes down to these short moments at the end of each set and how much you are will to push yourself at this time.

If you can push yourself to train to the point of complete muscular failure, you can get extreme muscle growth. If you give in 3 seconds before muscular failure, you will drastically reduce your growth. If you give in 5 seconds before that, you will even further diminish your gains.

If you multiply my 60-second figure with my suggested 3 workouts per week, this means that your bodybuilding success in the gym will boil down to how you respond to a 3 minute interval week after week.

I'm willing to wager you never consider it this way!

The lesson is that you must train with maximum effort throughout your entire workout to get extreme muscle growth. At the times when the weight feels heaviest and your muscles ache the most, it is this time where you must focus the hardest to push through the pain and work until you reach the point of muscular failure.

If you stop before this point, even a second before, you will limit your gains.

Remember this during your entire workouts and you will achieve better results than you ever imagined and stimulate extreme muscle growth.
