Trigger Extreme Muscle Gain WITHOUT the Fat [Guest Expert Article]
Published: Thu, 01/22/15
The last two time I've hung out with Pro Bodybuilder Ben
Pakulski he was talking to me about cyclical bulking.
Basically he was explaining how the the pros don't don't
"bulk and cut" like they used to.

I remember reading the muscle mags when I was a
teenager and seeing pics of some of the bodybuilders in
the off season and couldn't believe how bulky and fat they
looked. I know they weren't that fat, but still it was nutz.
Ben explains his new mass building approach below in
today's guest article......

How To Trigger Extreme Muscle Gain Without the Fat
If you're looking to gain ANY amount of muscle, whether
it be 10, 20, or even 30 lbs of muscle, this is the info that
has been missing...

Its based on the very well known scientific fact that
Growth is NEVER linear. Meaning that growth is
cyclical, and literally can never be continuous.

The answer: A phenomenon called "Cyclical Bulking"...
Cyclical bulking has been around for decades in
advanced training groups and intelligent athletic
circles around the world.

You see, your body is massively impacted hormonally
by what you eat and how you train. Eating high
calories and training like an animal sends signals
of anabolism (growth!) to every cell in your body,
however this doesn't last forever, there is a catch...

At some point your body stops receiving those
growth signals. Just like a nagging girlfriend or
pestering mother, eventually we just tune these
things out.

With traditional bulking, your body stops "hearing
the signals" that the big four hormones are sending.
Your body has become desensitized to the hormones
and you no longer effectively trigger anabolism of
muscle tissue. In fact, you actually start doing the
exact opposite and start triggering muscle break-
down and fat accumulation. Bad news!

Cyclical Bulking sets you up to maximize the
anabolism of growth phases, while teaching you
when to hit the "Reset button" and allow your body
to go through a brief, yet absolutely necessary,
resensitization period to your big four hormones.
The BIG FOUR by the way, are testosterone,
growth hormone, insulin and IGF-1.

Now, how do you pull this off? How do you get the
rapid muscle growth of bulking without destroying

Simple. You use short periods of EXTREMES.
Bursts of massive calorie surplus. Then dial back
to periods of extremely low calories to reset and
resensitize.
