Is it Possible to Lose Fat and Gain Muscle at the Same Time?

When you see that shredded guy or that woman that looks amazing I'd always ask myself:  Did they put the lean muscle on first or did they lose the fat first?


Well I found a report that tells you how to do both at the same time!   It's by a respected fitness author Tom Venuto (ever hear of "Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle"?  Yep, that him.) Best of all it is FREE!  This brand new "Body Re-composition" report is amazing:


Holy Grail Fitness Report and MP3

It's by Tom Venuto and it shows you a scientifically proven system to achieve the "Holy Grail" of fitness goals:

Gaining Muscle and losing fat - AT THE SAME TIME!

Yes that sounds pretty hypey, but it's true, and as soon as you see this report, you'll 'get it!'

Holy Grail Fitness Report and MP3

The report is FREE and you can download it as a PDF and read it, or download it as an MP3 and listen to it.

Cool eh? - the MP3 alone is worth $47 - but it's getting taken down soon, so grab it now while you still can:

There's an opt-in (email subscribe) form on this page (don't worry Tom won't spam you, I've been getting his fitness newsletters for years!):

Holy Grail Fitness Report and MP3
After you opt in, you'll get Tom's PDF or MP3 report, "The Holy Grail Revealed" which teaches you how to gain
muscle and lose body fat at the same time.

Then you'll get 3 MORE special reports which will be published in the next couple of weeks that teach you:

* How to gain muscle without gaining an ounce of fat (say goodbye to "bulking" and hello to "lean muscle gains")

* How to lose fat without losing any of your precious hard-earned muscle (the end of "ripped, but skinny")

* Why most people fail when they try to achieve these elusive goals (Body re-composition mistakes).

plus...

* real world success stories from real people who packed on muscle while losing fat at the same time... the proof is in the pudding. See it with your own eyes.

WARNING!!   WARNING!!   WARNING!!
-----------------------------------------------

This is info that Tom has only released to his customers and Inner Circle members before.

The report is EXCELLENT, but I have to warn you that this entire subject is pretty controversial.

However, Venuto is one of the most reputable experts online in the way he walks the walk (the guy is built!), and gives the science to back up his info...

It's pretty unusual that a successful natural bodybuilder gives away his secrets like this, but even more unusual to
hear a smart bodybuilder teach his secrets, show you the scientific proof of how its done...

AND... Show you the real-world before and after case studies proving that even ordinary people can do it too.

Get your "Holy Grail" report before he takes it down:

PS... I hope I didn't scare you off with the "warning." This report is really good, it's just that the subject in this report has always been a little controversial... (it's no big deal, but should make for some interesting blog conversations!)

Maximize Your Muscle FAQ

ATTENTION: Maximize Your Muscle CLOSES tonight!!

The past 2 days I've received a load of inquires about Vince Del Monte's Maximize Your Muscle program, so I thought we could run through each one at a time.

If you needed an answer before signing up then I hope you opened this in time because EVERYTHING you need is answered below.

=========

Question #1: Is MYM for women, too?

=========

Absolutely, I guess you haven't see pictures of Vince's new wife Flavia?  She's an MYM follower

too and I know Vinny has zero intentions of bulking up his wife!  LOL

I ve met Flavia and she would tell you, "My arms, legs and stomach didn't start seeing muscle

tone and definition until I started pushing myself with Vinny's stuff." 

Maximize Your Muscle <--- Ladies, get super sexy and lean HERE 



Vince would advise the ladies to push just as hard as the men when lifting weights - no

changes or modifications there.  However, Vince does suggest females keep their carbs specifically timed around breakfast and before or after their workouts and they'll gain lean and clean muscle - zero fat. 

Vince also suggests ladies maintain regular interval cardio like skipping, stairs or sprinting

for 10-20 minutes post-weights and you're going to have a sexy and deadly body. 

The biggest difference between women of the same size, while one looks "okay" and the other

looks "smokin hot", is one thing: LEAN MUSCLE.

Maximize Your Muscle <--- Get the body women REALLY want!

========


Question #2: I'm in my 60's, should I give this a shot?

========

Surprisingly, the winner of Vince's 16-week transformation contest was in his mid 40's

and two of his other top success stories (Bruce and Tom) were in their 40's and 60's as well. 

It's funny, Vinny told me that a lot of 40-60 year olds discovered they were just "babying themselves" too much in the gym.  It wasn't until they trusted the program and their body that they got rapid results.

That being said, if you're a complete beginner, nursing an injury, unfamiliar with intense lifting, or just not confident in yourself, leave your copy on the shelf for someone else. 

Vince's program is the perfect challenge and opportunity to increase the quality of your life and trick your body into making it look and feel younger (muscle is a metabolic

marker that has been researched to do both).          

Vince coaches you on how to improve your flexibility, how to recover, eat properly and take care of yourself between the workouts - this is the info that will make you successful.  Vince's monthly series is a curriculum based program based on progression so each month

he introduces a new challenge and as long as you follow the plan, you can't go wrong.

Plus, he provides coaching in his forum and on the phone so that he can tweak anything you're concerned with.

Finally, MYM is intense and requires you to lift anywhere from 4-6 times a week for 30-90 minutes a workout in some Phases.  If that sounds like "too much" than this is definitely not for you. 

I personally think you'll be pleasantly surprised just like Vinny's other over 40 members who have got better results now than they did in their 20's (some even got into competing)!

Maximize Your Muscle <------- Age is just a number, I m going for it! 


========


Question #3: What's included in the 14-day trial for $1.00?

========

The starter kit comes with:



**The 2-CD "Blow Beyond Your Genetic Potential" CD
where Joel Marion grilled Vince about living "large" in every
aspect of life, inside and outside of the gym.



**The 20-page Phase 1 MYM Digital Newsletter and
workout log



**The 2-hour Phase 1 Workout DVD (intense footage
shot LIVE at the gym - this you MUST see!)



**The Phase 1 LIVE 90-minute coaching call where
you can ask Vince you personal questions about the
program (get on the phone with a world-class coach!) 



**Access to the Maximize Your Muscle Members Only Discussion Forums where you can interact and
get support with other like-minded members doing
the same exact program as you -- This is HUGE.

And you get instant digital access for ONE BUCK! 



It's a 14-day trial and if you are satisfied then you'll be billed $29.95 for Phase 1 and for every future Phase you want (there are 12 in total) then you'll be billed $29.95 once a month and you can cancel anytime.

I suggest you give the 14-day trial a shot… someone giving you his best info for only ONE BUCK must be pretty confident that you'll love it: 


Maximize Your Muscle <------- Get ALL that for just $1

=========

Question #4: What's the catch?

=========

Vince could easily sell Phase 1, 100 Rep Muscle, as a stand alone product for $47-$97.  The truth is, he simply wants the RIGHT people in the program.

He's tired of working with babies and excuse-makers.  This program is dedicated to people who are super-serious and want to live large inside and outside of the gym.

He's allowing you to try it with a "low-barrier" so that he can filter out people who don't belong.  As a coach, myself, I can appreciate that and actually think it's a brilliant idea. 

When you check out the membership forum, you'll only find positivity and high-quality people who are motivating each other to do their best. 

If you like MYM, you'll be billed $29.95 after 14-days for Phase 1 and then you'll be billed $29.95 every 30-days from the day you signed up to receive future Phases.  So it's basically a $29.95 program to get access to one of the top muscle-building coaches in the world.

You get a new program each month, 1-1 phone and forum coaching and a newsletter that contains

info on how to achieve success inside and outside the gym.

It would be absolutely stupid for Vince to give away his best information he wasn't confident that you would love it and want to stay on board until you complete the 12 Phases.  Simply put, he's OVER-delivered
and wants to prove it to you for $1.  Then, you decide:

Maximize Your Muscle <------- $1, then you decide


======


Question #5: How many people quit his program after the first month?

======

Interesting question!  Vince opened this up back in January and had over 1000 members and then again in April with 1400 members and he informed me that only 20% decided that MYM wasn't for them.

Why?  

One top reason:  It was too challenging.


Now, Vince has not changed anything to appeal to the 20% who found the workouts too advanced.This IS for people with at least 1-4 years of training who have hit plateaus and ready to bust through.

=======

Question #6: What happens each month after Phase 1 if I choose to stay on board as a member?

========



**A Brand New 2-hour Workout DVD with a brand new
workout

**Phase 2 is called 5-Day Whole Body Vinsanity and based

on killer whole body workouts lasting 75-minutes each. Literally,

the hardest workout of your life.

**Phase 3 is called Crank Up The Volume (my absolute favourite)

is designed to build defined, full and round muscles.

**Phase 4 is called Ripped and Rush and gives the fastest

way to get shredded in 28-days for your photo shoot.

Oh yeah, Vinny has a 16-week transformation contest and

gives away $5,000 worth of cash prizes to top contestants! 

And currently they are Phase 9 and I think he's doing 12-16 Phases in total… Let's worry about Phases 1 for today! 



**Continued Access to the MYM Members Only Discussion
Forums



**A 90-min Mastermind and Body Q&A call each month
where you get direct coaching from Vince. 



**A brand new 20-page content rich digital newsletter (info he does not share for free on his blog or anywhere else). 

I can vouch for the program and tell you it's damn good.
But you be the judge -- try the entire thing for just $1:



Maximize Your Muscle <== click here

===========

Question #7: What's the best part of the MYM program?

===========



The price!  Apart from the $1 trial, I personally think
the monthly price (which you will never be billed if you
decide MYM is not for you) is extremely low considering
what you're getting each month.

Monthly coaching and direct access to the #1 name
in muscle-building for less than the cost of a session
with a decent personal trainer?

90 mins on the phone each month?
Private access via the members only forums?

4 weeks of programs (the equivalent of roughly 10
personal training sessions) while having your programs
designed by the #1 leading muscle building expert
himself for less than cost of ONE personal training
session with a semi-decent trainer?

That's VALUE.  If you don't see that, then I don't mean
to be blunt, but the program isn't for you.

Maximize Your Muscle <------- EXTREME Value and expert access each month

=========

Last Question: Is this really opened for only 72-hours?

=========

Depending on when you read this, it might already be closed.  Vince is NOT bluffing.  He closed registration after 3-days in January and after 3-days in April and it's been closed since. 

If you miss out then you'll have to wait till January 2011.  Vince doesn't want the group to become "overcrowded", so he's only taking new members until tonight at midnight , then the program will be CLOSED.


BUT, right now it's just $1 to try and you'll have a full
14 days to evaluate if the program is right for you.  If
not, you can easily cancel and you'll never be billed
anything further (Vince even gives you the cancellation email address).  This is an honest "ethical" bribe to allow you to try the BEST muscle-building confidence boosting,
lean body program around for just $1.

We know it's awesome, but we're letting you decide.
If you don't agree, please cancel (and never be billed).
The $1 trial PLUS is available until tonight, then the site will be CLOSED to new members for at least 4 months.  



Try it "on us" for just a buck (cancel anytime):


Maximize Your Muscle<------- Site CLOSES tonight @ 11:59 p.m.!!!!!!

Okay, here's today's article:

===========

3 Weird Ways To Ignite NEW Muscle, Skyrocket

Your Metabolism & Incinerate Fat

By Vince Del Monte - YOUR AFFILIATE ID

===========

Weird Way #1:

Unstable Surface Training to Activate the Nervous System

The reason it works: unstable training can increase muscle activation due to increased demand on the neuromuscular system in order to stabilize the articulation of joints caused by an unstable surface used as the base of support.

How to make it work:

Unstable training (such as performing a pushup with your hands on a stability ball or 2 medicine balls) does result in a decrease in force production, which prevents maximum motor unit recruitment. However, unstable surfaces do "wake up" the nervous system and its best application is to perform these exercises prior to the real strength training exercises.

Methods you can experiment with:

You don't have to use an unstable exercise for every body part or exercise, but it can be excellent for a stubborn muscle group. A stubborn muscle group is often a result of the lack of activation of the CNS, thus using an unstable exercise could fix the problem. Let's use for example push-ups on a medicine ball or stability ball superset with a DB chest press. The superset method is best practice and should be used earlier in the workout as unstable surface exercises are fatiguing. Another example, squats on a BOSU ball followed by barbell squats.

Other details: you don't always have to be on an unstable surface to "wake up" the nervous system. You can perform exercises on 1 foot, with your eyes closed; or create a situation where your base of support is limited.

Weird Way #2:

Heavy Lifting Cycles

The reason it works: muscle damage, activation of the high threshold muscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to Heavy Lifting Cycles

The reason it works: muscle damage, activation of the high threshold muscle fibers (growth fibers), potentiation of the nervous system; which means when you get back to your normal bodybuilding routine you will be able to recruit more muscle fibers for the same exercise.

How to make it work: use every means in your power to increase your maximal strength, power and explosiveness. Dedicate a period of time each year to this style of training – it’s in my experience that after a period of focused heavy lifting, your gains from the subsequent program are always far superior.

Methods you can experiment with: regular sets in the 2-4 and 4-6 rep ranges, rest-pause sets (multiple mini-sets of heavy weight using 90% of your max weight taking only 10-seconds rest between reps), wave loading (1 x 5, 1 x 4, 1 x 3, 1 x 5, 1 x 4, 1 x 3), contrast loading (1 x 1, 1 x 5, 1 x 1, 1 x 5, 1 x 1, 1 x 5).

Other details: longer rest intervals of 2-3 minutes in between sets are required during heavy lifting phases.

Untapped Target 3:

Volume Lifting

The reason it works: cumulative fatigue, hormonal production, and achieves a good pump. If you understand the importance of pre and post workout nutrition, jamming your muscles with workout drinks that include dextrose and amino acids, then guess what? Increase blood flow to a specific muscle will increase the amount of aminos being pumped into that muscle and it will significantly increase amino uptake. This means a much more anabolic (muscle building) response to your workout.

How to make it work: maximize the pump as well as muscle fatigue.

Methods you can experiment with: regular sets in the 8-10, 10-12 and 12-15 rep ranges, drop sets, pre-fatigue (super set isolation plus multi-joint), post fatigue (superset multi-joint plus isolation), giant sets (3 sets in a row for the same muscle group), slow reps ( 6 seconds up, 6 seconds down), "burns" (partial reps added at the end of a regular set).

Other details: 30-60 seconds between sets (or less). Do not chase after a pump in each set. Strategically place it at the end of each workout for your very last set and this will greatly increase the rate of muscle gain.

Thanks Vinny D!

I failed to mention yesterday that the $1.00 trial to Maximize

Your Muscle is for super-serious people who already have at

least 1-year of training and ready to go to the next level. 

If you checked out Vince's pics and the pics of his current

members then I'm sure you figured that out for yourself! 

If you don't take your muscle training and physique very seriously

and content with looking and feeling like the "norm" - please -

don't even check this website out. 

However, if you're truly committed to blowing beyond your

genetic potential, making plateaus a thing of the past and

building a body that tells the world, "I'm in control and get

whatever I want in life…" then his muscle series has your

name all over it and it's all yours for only a $1.00 trial:

I've grown to know Vince over the past few years and I can vouch that had to overcome of the worst genetics EVER.

I've grown to admire and respect his achievements, inside and outside of the gym, and I know you will too.

However, let me say that Maximize Your Muscle is for SUPER SERIOUS people.

This is not for people who show up to the gym late, slide out early, bounce from program to program, cheat on your workouts, cry to their doctor if they are sore and prefer to look like the norm...

Vince attracts people who want something beyond the norm in terms of their body and their life. If that sounds like you, then this might be the luckiest day of your life:

Today's Home Workout

My son was home from daycare with a fever today. It was nice (for me) because I didn't have to go to work and I got to spend some time caring for him.

Since he was home, I wasn't able to get my Turbulence Training workout in, but I was able to get this body weight workout in. The only thing I needed was my body weight and my GymBoss (my interval/tabata timer)

Here's the workout:

Warm-up Circuit:


Set Gymboss to one interval of 00:15 on Auto mode for 6 rounds. Rest 1 minute and then do 1 more circuit. Change exercises at each alert:

1) Jumping Jacks
2) Bodyweight Squat
3) Pushups
4) Mountain Climbers
5) Prisoner Forward Lunges
6) Stickups

Workout:

Did you know that you can get an amazing workout from ONLY bodyweight exercises...and that this workout can be done LITERALLY anytime and anywhere?

Whenever I am busy and do not have time to go to the gym I do a bodyweight workout.  I will often do a short bodyweight workout on my off days just to get some activity into my day.  Bodyweight workouts are a great change from the gym.

I usually come up with a couple of different circuits and time myself.  This way the next time I go to do the circuit I can try and beat my best time.  It's like your competiting against yourself!
Check out this workout from Craig Ballantyne over at Turbulence Training.  If it looks familar it's because Craig published this workout in Men's Health and Women's Health magazines.
