capable of producing tension though the nervous
system.
If your nervous system can supply the muscle with
enough "electricity" to overcome the resistance, you
become stronger; regardless of muscle size.
I considered this important fact when creating my new
book The Grow Stronger Method.
My first objective when creating this simple system
for strength was to teach my nervous system how to
overcome greater resistance WITHOUT taxing my
muscle too much.

Athletes, like myself, who compete in weight classes
can not afford to gain weight from strength training.
We need to get stronger, but without the extra mass.
The Grow Stronger Method allows your muscles to get
stronger and HARDER through neuomuscular tension
and myofibrillar hypertrophy.

Unlike the "Puffy Muscle Monsters" you'll meet at most
gyms... YOU will be leaner, harder and STRONGER than
anyone else.
