So here are the three muscle-building strategies I promised you!


These are right out the TacFit Commando program I mentioned
yesterday, developed by Scott Sonnon (which is currently 51% off
until tomorrow).

As I mentioned with the fat-loss stuff I sent earlier, I've used
all these tips and incorporate them into my own programs so I
know this stuff flat-out WORKS.

I'm also going to add in a few links to some of my own articles
so you can read more about these concepts in greater detail.

Untapped Muscle-Building Strategy #1:
Do your cardio with a full-body matrix of bodyweight exercises

You’re probably asking, “What the hell is a full-body matrix?”

It’s based on a 6-D visual model borrowed from aeronautics. It’s a
fancy way of describing how your body moves:

Heaving: moving up and down
Swaying: moving right and left
Surging: moving forward and backward
Pitching: bending forward and backward
Yawing: twisting right and left
Rolling: turning right and left

Putting these elements together will give you a hell of a cardio workout.

Why should you care?

Because it’ll kick your butt faster than any other method. That
means you’ll get your cardio obligation out of the way sooner,
so you can spend more training time building mass and less time
shredding those game-night beers off your belly.

Training in a full-body matrix also ensures that your body stays
balanced. You won’t waste time dealing with overuse injuries,
or overcompensations created by doing the same repetitive
movements in the same planes day after day. That means you’ll
be able to push a ton more weight when you get under the bar.

Untapped Muscle-Building Strategy #2:
Fascial stretching makes room for muscle growth

We’ve all seen what happens to guys who spend years at the gym.
They’re no different than the pencil necked geek who sits at a
desk all day – they’re just at opposite end of the spectrum.

If you sit at a desk all day every day, it becomes easier for
your body to stay that way. Your body becomes chair-shaped. Funny
thing is, the same thing happens when you lift a lot of weights.
If you crank out a pile of heavy curls and you don’t release
the tension after you lift, you get the same sorta unwanted
compensations as the office geek. The tissue of your biceps
shortens, your elbows won’t straighten, and before you know it
you’re walking around with bracket-shaped arms that can curl
the hell out of a dumbbell but can’t even scratch your own
back. If you let it get to that point, then aches and pains are
just the beginning of your problems.

The GOOD NEWS is that becoming bracket-shaped is easy to avoid.
Just throw 5 minutes of targeted fascial stretching into your
routine as a cooldown and you get to keep the muscle but avoid
the unwanted immobility.

The EVEN BETTER news is that restoring the full resting length of
your muscles gives them more room to grow!

Untapped Muscle-Building Strategy #3:
Use joint mobility to speed recovery so you can train more often

Throwing 5 minutes of joint mobility movement into your
pre-lifting workout really can transform into the fountain of
youth.

There are several key benefits to this simple form of exercise.
Decompressing your joints allows synovial fluid to flow into that
space, flooding the joint capsule with nutrients and washing out
the waste products formed by exercise. This restores joint
health, and it also speeds recovery — and if you can recover at
an accelerated rate, you can train again sooner. Train harder and
more often and you grow faster.

Better joint alignment allows you to create more power in your
lifts, for the obvious reason that your skeletal system is
loading the way it was meant to be loaded, rather than siphoning
off muscular power to compensate for joints being out of
alignment.

But that’s not all. Lifting on compressed joints leads to
common problems like arthritis and cartilage wear. Decompressing
your joints restores them to the natural shock absorber they were
designed to be.

It only takes 5 minutes before you train, and it translates into
heavier lifts, done more often.

These 3 muscle-building strategies are right on the money - I have
to say, I REALLY like the 6 dimensional model of movement. It
just makes so much sense in terms of balancing the body and working
the true functionality of the body.

P.S. Don't forget, I'm throwing in a bonus copy my own Hybrid
Training ebook if you decide to pick up TacFit Commando through
the link in this email. It's all about combining multiple forms
of resistance (free weight, cables, bands and bodyweight
training) into SINGLE exercises - very cool stuff.
