How long should you "bulk"?

Hopefully, you're not still falling for the "
Forever Bulk" approach to putting on muscle...

You see -- despite the myth that fat gain is
"inevitable" if you want to pack on mass --
the truth is that getting fat while "bulking"
will actually KILL your body's anabolic
hormones.

My friend and IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Ben
Pakulski was telling me the other day that
he's seen guys gain as much as 50 pounds
for a net LOSS in lean muscle after dieting
back down!...

Yet the solution to this problem has actually
been used by savvy athletes and action
heroes for quite a while now...

The body grows in bursts.
Think of a child growing up, it's a fluctuation
between stagnation and growth spurts. Your
biology is made to support large bursts of
growth, but cannot sustain it for months,
weeks or even DAYS at a time.

Listen, if you want to accelerate your muscle
building, you need to optimize testosterone,
insulin, IGF-I and Growth Hormone with your
training and diet.

Getting fat by staying on a high calorie BULK

However, periodically hitting the RESET button
on your hormones using a strategic fat loss phase
keeps you building muscle indefinitely.

Alternating aggressive bulking and cutting phases
like this is called "cyclical" bulking. But here's

The problem is -- until now -- no one has really
been able to give a definite answer as to HOW

I've heard so called experts recommend
anywhere from 2 weeks to 4 months... Talk
about confusing...

Well, Ben has found the answer. And he spells it
all out in the first ever "done-for-you" Cyclical
Bulking program that tells you exactly when it's
time to switch between bulking and cutting
phases based on how YOUR body reacts to each...

All you have to do is plug in YOUR numbers
and Ben's system tells you whether you should
be in a bulking or a "reset" phase to optimize
your muscle building.

You'll also know exactly how much to eat, which
kinds of foods, and when, to get the fastest gains.

Ben has finally cracked the code that allows you
to customize rapid muscle building to your personal
goals. Whether you want to keep a year-round
shredded fitness model physique, or you want to
be the biggest guy in the gym, this system easily
adjusts to your needs.

Listen, not only is Ben one of the top bodybuilders
in the world... he's one of the smartest muscle building
experts in the industry. He's often been called the
"Thinking Man's Bodybuilder" -- and for good reason.

So take advantage of the fact that he has already
done all the research, experimentation and validation
to come up with this fool-proof formula for
maximizing your muscle gains...

This new system is a surefire way to create a freight

over and over again!
