Get Big, Strong & Ripped with Baby Steps

If you want to gain size, get strong and get ripped, here’s the secret:

Baby steps.

You see, the human body is a remarkable machine. It can adapt and adjust to almost any changes you throw at it.

But only IF you are patient and methodical.

Let me give you an example:

Say you want to increase you bench press strength by 10% and you are currently benching 225 pounds for five reps.

If you try to add 10 or even 5 pounds to the bar for your next session, you will mostly likely fail to get all five reps.

But if you add just 1 pound to the bar (using micro plates), you’ll get all 5 reps easily. Then you simply repeat the process — adding one pound to the bar each week. And before you know it, you’ll be benching 250 pounds for five reps — an increase of over 10%.

Of course, you’ve heard me preach about the benefits of microloading before. Because it’s a tried and true method for gaining strength.

But did you know you can also “microload” your way to getting bigger and even getting ripped too?

Check it out:

If you want to gain weight, you need to eat more right?

But instead of just mindless shoveling food down your pie hold, you can micro load your way to your goal. It’s easy: Weigh yourself once a week. If you have NOT gained at least 0.5 – 1 pound in the past week, you need to increase your calories.

Just add one sandwich per day, or one egg or one shot of olive oil. Then check the scale again in a week and see what happens. By microloading your weight gain in this manner, you can ensure you’re gaining muscular weight slowly — and not just getting fat.

Getting Ripped? Baby steps again…

And it’s not different if you want to lose weight. Start slow — eliminate junk food from your diet but don’t make any effort to eat less.

Add cardio — again starting slow. Begin with a 5 minute jog and then increase the time by just one minute per session.

Most people get excited about achieving a goal — be it gaining size or burning fat. And they jump in with both feet only to burn out a week later.

But if you take small, consistent baby steps you can keep making progress for weeks, months and years.
