P7 Each repetition: lower (2 seconds), pause ( 1 second) and lift (2 seconds).
A hypertrophic training protocol consisting of six to eight repetitions to failure require a load equivalent to 75 and 80 percent of your 1RM (single repetition maximum)

Repitition and Load (% of 1RM):
4: 85% ; 6 : 80%; 8 : 75%; 10 : 70%

P11 Rest interval dont go beyond 2 minutes

P12 Work time should be in and out gym within 30 – 45 minutes; To live in an anabolic state and grow muscle, your workouts must be heavy and short.

P 13 Recover : the muscle should be rest for 7 days

P26 Be protein positive and facilitate carbohydrate construction. If protein is brick of body construction, carbohydrate are cement. Once daily requirement of protein is met, carbohydrates generate weight gain. 1-1.5 g/pound and 1.5 – 2g/pound carbo

P27: To gain muscle, must in positive caloric balance.
Calorie intake low is for losing body fat.

To add muscle, add 10% extra calories by consuming 50 more grams of carbohydrate.
If your weight isn’t moving up after one week or two, add extra 5% calorie.

P29 Use anabolic window. Consume protein and carbohydrates immediately after training will gain more muscle mass than wait for an hour or two. You need quick-acting liquid nutritients rather than a solid meal. By the time a meal of solid food is sigested , the anabolic window of opportunity has closed. Best way to produce a potent anabolic effect is to drink a protein=carbo supplement within 15-30 minutes of yoru workout. The best protein is whey, which rapidly dissoves into amino acids, giving the body a quick fix of building blocks to expedite growth and recovery.

P30 Creatine and whey protein work as an anabolic tag team when used together after training. When creatine is consumed with whey protein, the muscle gains are superior to either taken alone.

P30 Keep away from cardio
It’s fine to enjoy a short run or swim on the day you’re not at the gym, but take ito account the additional calories you’ve used. When trying to gain muscle mass, always consume a surplus of calories.

P33: Glucagon opposes the effect of insulin.
To gain muscle weight, you need a higher ratio of insulin. Thus your daily nutrient intakes should contain a higher proportion of carbo than it does protein. 50% – 60% carbo and 30 – 40% protein and 10% fat.

P37 Nutrition plan: To gain mass , you need to consume more calories than your burn. Add additional 10% calorie.

if you want to build the maximum amount of muscle you are going to have to increase your overall caloric intake. The trick is to increase your calorie intake with only quality, high powered muscle building foods. If you can do this, while training hard and heavy, you will gain quality muscle mass while maintaining current body fat levels. Choice of food is the real key to building lean muscle mass. This is what I suggest. You don’t want to consume so many calories that you become fat. You want to consume enough calories that will support new growth but keep fat levels to a minimum.
