If you want to get JACKED<\/b> you have to first understand the 6 forgotten factors of muscle hypertrophy.<\/p>\n

Look most of us guys want to build a WICKED body that attracts the right kind of attention and earns you the respect you desire, and you want to do it in the FASTEST way possible! Right?<\/p>\n

Well you cannot do that unless you apply these 6 forgotten factors of Muscle Hypertrophy<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Below is just a brief overview of the 6 forgotten factors of muscle growth.\u00a0 You can get the full 54 page FREE report BELOW:<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Growth Factor #1<\/span>\u00a0 MAX TENSION<\/h3>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First off , tension is a relative term.<\/p>\n

The amount of tension we place on our bodies varies greatly, and this directly dictates the amount of muscle, and also the amount of bone tissue we carry.<\/p>\n

If you want to carry more muscle tissue on your physique, you must subject your body to increased tension on a regular basis and allow it to recognize an immediate need to solicit new muscle growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Think of it this way (assuming you\u2019re not emotionally attached to feeding your ego): Why lift 60 pounds when you can get the same or better results with 30 pounds?<\/p>\n

You can do this if you apply the right amount of tension.<\/p>\n

Growth Factor #2<\/span>\u00a0 MAX DENSITY<\/h3>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Manipulating a workout\u2019s \u201cdensity\u201d is a very good way to immediately spark some new growth, see measurable progress, improve your work capacity, reduce stress on joints and even burn fat.<\/p>\n

Hear me out: The term \u201cdensity\u201d has taken on many different meanings in the area of fitness and muscle building.<\/p>\n

With regard to workouts, density refers to the AMOUNT of work done in a given time frame.<\/b><\/p>\n

Growth Factor #3<\/span>\u00a0 MAX LACTIC<\/h3>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Lactic acid is a byproduct of cellular energy production.<\/p>\n

When your body experiences increased demand for oxygen and energy, it gives off greater amounts of lactic acid as a result.<\/p>\n

In a roundabout way, this is your body\u2019s way of telling you that the activity you are partaking in is demanding and that you can\u2019t do it forever (thanks goodness)!<\/p>\n

Anyone looking to improve the physical appearance of their body must learn to exploit the benefits of increased lactic acid levels.<\/p>\n

Growth Factor #4<\/span>\u00a0 MAX INTENSITY<\/h3>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The word \u201cintensity\u201d is easily one of the most frequently misused and abused words tossed around in the fitness world, and as a result, people have no clue what true intensity really is (hint hint: it has nothing to do with how intensity is portrayed in the magazines).<\/p>\n

\u201cIntensity\u201d is defined according to how much an individual can lift in relation to how much weight they can lift for 1 repetition.<\/p>\n

This is defined as 1-repetition maximum, or 1RM.<\/p>\n

Growth Factor #5<\/span>\u00a0 MAX FREQUENCY<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We train with weights to break down muscle and ask a muscle to adapt and grow.<\/p>\n

This growth process occurs by means of protein synthesis.<\/p>\n

Therefore, by deductive logic, we know that the goal of weight training is to stimulate protein synthesis and new muscle growth.<\/p>\n

Makes sense right?<\/p>\n

So, if the goal of training is protein synthesis, and training a muscle is known to stimulate protein synthesis for 48-72 hours, what happens after this 72-hour period is over?<\/p>\n

Well, the truth of the matter is that after this 72-hour \u201cgrowth period\u201d, the body starts breaking down the protein it just synthesized in order to return to homeostasis.<\/p>\n

The point is we need to train that muscle often using the right frequency.<\/p>\n

Growth Factor #6<\/span>\u00a0 MAX VOLUME<\/h3>\n

\"Hypertrophy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Volume refers to the amount of work done in a given time frame.<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is that many people actually respond better to high volume training than they do to low volume training.<\/p>\n

And from my experience, most people are under-trained and not even close to being over-trained.<\/p>\n

What’s Next?<\/h3>\n

As you probably know or at some point you\u2019ve been told that the best way to build muscle is by training each muscle group a different day of the week\u2026<\/p>\n
