Get Out of Man-O-Pause!
I have been
training for 90 minutes 4-5 times per week for 2 years with an ultra
clean diet and cannot make enough progress to justify the work. I want
to go from 14% to 8% body fat with plenty of muscle when I turn 39 a
year from now to be in GREAT Shape! My quads and glutes need the most
help right now. Help! "Hormones govern
progress- they provide me a clear window of what is really going on so
that I can make the right program adjustments. You can naturally improve
your hormonal status with proper diet, training, life style management,
rest and Amino Loading with 100% MR + Muscle Synthesis. Ignore the problem
and you are going nowhere very fast." Eric Serrano MD How Do You Want to Look at The Beach?
Feeling Less Manly? Stop Over Training! Frustration, lack of motivation, reduced energy and a lower level of overall manliness are key signs of Man O Pause which we associate with a big decrease in quality of life in addition to physique deterioration. One of the most common causes is over training combined with high stress levels from life's many challenges. Natural trainees will not benefit from workouts over 60 minutes due to the increase in catabolic hormones (cortisol) and many would see faster progress with shorter action packed workouts built based on their capacity to recover. You cannot get away with working out the same ways when you were 25, however with the right plan you can progress at even faster rates.
Some clients look at us like we are crazy when we tell them to cut total workout time in half. We remind clients that if the tactics they were using were working so well they would have had no reason to seek out our help in the first place! Following the first workout with reduced rest periods, controlled tempos and special rep executions such as strategic pause training- they have a much different opinion- feeling is believing! Holding a strategic pause at the half way and down point of each rep will drastically increase the productivity of every rep. Your legs may start shaking before the workout is done which signals some nervous system fatigue. Shorter workouts requires these strategic intensity drivers to get the most out of every rep! It is not only a matter of battling the greater level of difficulty, but realizing muscles are being forced to work much harder than they ever imagined with unfamiliar stimuli resulting in rapid progress. breaking out of Man O Pause requires high quality training to support an anabolic environment.
Testosterone levels are not as easily manipulated as many would think, taking an extended period of time with consistent execution of the right changes. One of the quickest ways to promote anabolism and get the body to burn more fat , while gaining muscle is to lower cortisol levels which can work in opposition to testosterone. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis have proven to be a highly effective weapon to improve rates of muscle growth, fat loss, performance and recovery- one of the main mechanisms of success is keeping catabolic hormone (cortisol) levels in check around training and throughout the day. The proprietary ratios were not discovered at random, based on years of Dr. Serrano's detailed trials with real hard training clients just like you. Amino Loading between meals provide tons of easily assimilated raw materials surging muscle growth while revving rapid fat burning.

Where is The Rest of My Six Pack? How to Sculpt The Lower Abs! We have helped many clients reach their long term goals who are in the same situation as you. You have a strong worth ethic obviously so it is a matter of matching you with the right tactics. Based on experience I bet you are subconsciously eating much less than you think which catches up with you quickly bringing fat loss to a grinding halt. Now it is time to increase food intake and change macronutrient %s while gearing training towards muscle growth. These adjustments will have a great impact on reviving metabolism while also boosting anabolic hormones. Keep in mind that new muscle will burn calories 24x7 while also improving the physique dramatically. Starving The Fat and Feeding the Muscles As a result are
clients can starve out the fat and feed muscle around the clock. We
monitor body composition and meal plan records so the right decisions
can be made with adjustments. Feedback regarding energy levels, sleep
patterns, recovery rates and more provide vital information. The devil
is in the details and we leave no stone unturned. The Double Edged Fat Burning and Muscle Growing Sword. Insulin presents a
double edged sword since it also the most anabolic hormone (vital for
muscle growth and recovery) in our human arsenal. The key is
optimizing levels at the correct times with the proper nutrition plan
and the revolutionary Alpha Omega M 3. Dr. Serrano's
Alpha Omega
M3 provides critical dietary fats to promote proper communication
between cells and materials needed for cell wall construction. Both
of these elements are key components for the rapid fat loss process. The
Better the cell function- the faster they can use fat as fuel to
collectively shrink in size which is how we lower body fat. Clients
in a hurry to drop body fat use 9 to 12 capsules per day with great
success providing the necessary raw materials in greater amounts for
cells to utilize ASAP. Email Scott@infinityfitness.com with your top 5 problems and get a personal solution filled response within 24 hours.
Weapons of Massive Fat Loss Destruction I need to drop 10 lbs of fat to look good with my shirt off at the beach, but 20 to be really ripped and I want to get there in 4 and 8 week respectively. Any tricks up your sleeve to lose body fat this quickly while gaining some muscle? Absolutely we have new clients showing up each week with the same goals, Infinity Fitness will deliver results again just like we have done for the last 12 years with proven systems considering fat burning enzymes, hormones, metabolic factors and more. The most successful clients attack goals with a sense of urgency knowing that once they achieve them, maintenance is much easier and allows for more freedom with diet. You have your cake and eat it too- literally! Losing body fat while sacrificing tons of hard earned muscle is pretty easy by using "old school" starvation diets with excessive exercise, but what is the point? The original Body Fat and more comes back with a vengeance quickly because the metabolism and hormonal environment is so screwed up. First and foremost the human body is a survival machine and a consistent low intake of food will trigger a massive metabolic slow down to protect you against starvation. How do you want to Look at The Beach?
Cycling Nutrients for Rapid Body Transformations This year we have had great success with using a very low food intake only 3 days per week while increasing nutrients back to a baseline food intake on 3 exercise days to support great training performance which is crucial for creating a rapid fat burning environment for the next several days following training. This complex strategy gets fat burning going into over drive without triggering starvation signals. Things get tricky with putting important details into place making customization very important to fit clients specific needs. It is not as simple as eating very little on the low days, the macronutrient %s and timing must be correct while being easy to execute and promoting high energy levels. Don't Look Flat- Carb Load for Massive Muscle! On day 7 which
should be the toughest weight training day we use a higher calorie plan
with carb loading to pump up physical and mental energy while preventing
muscles form going flat. Time up this carb load correctly following
training along with the
100%

Synthesis and your muscle bellies will be HUGE for the Beach- while
everything else is RIPPED! Drive Fat Burning Signals to the Brain
All food sends a variety of important
signals to the brain based on their content. Dr. Serrano figured out
through years of detailed research and experimentation that the correct
ratios of amino acids can send powerful fat burning and muscle growing
signals. Amino Loading with
100%
MR and
Muscle
Synthesis frequently throughout the day ignites fat burning by
making the brain believe a HUGE amount of food has been consumed,
leaving nothing to be burned except stored fat. These same proprietary
ratios drastically improve daily energy, training performance, recovery
and rates of Muscle Growth. High energy levels and feelings of well
being are crucial to keep clients on track with consistent execution.
Our clients are hard working men and women who cannot afford to be
sluggish at work or home. Using the correct program you can have it all-
Great Energy and Rapid Body Transformation without feeling like you are
in diet hell! Fat Cell Status is one of the most important yet overlooked elements of
fat loss. Providing the right combinations of good dietary fats in the
diet and
Alpha Omega
M3 helps these cells to purge out the stored garbage that hangs on
bellies and thighs. The collective shrinking of your fat cells is how
body fat is lost.
Alpha Omega
M3's proprietary ingredient ratios can prevent future body fat
accumulation through several pathways, but one of the most important is
satisfying fat cells with their desired raw materials to make cells less
susceptible to sucking up garbage in the blood stream with the diet
"slips". You need new stimuli including specialized exercises and protocols to target those desired areas as well as a nutrition plan that will create a favorable growth environment. The body is an amazing adaptable machine and as a result there is a short window of opportunity for the usefulness of any routine before it becomes far less effective. Methods that were successful for you before will not work nearly as well the second or third time around, not only due to the body's ability to adapt quickly, but also due to the ever changing circumstances you face such as age, stress, injuries, weak links, imbalances, and more. This does not stop a large percentage of trainees from banging their head on the wall instead of seeking out solutions needed for present success. I have had many consultation clients for years who have never once repeated the same routine and neither should you! Arm Specialization Tactics for Rapid Growth To support rapid growth during a 3-4 week period of arm specialization you can do the program below twice per week while reducing chest and back volume accordingly. The shear difficulty of the routine done with max intensity and increased frequency will place a huge importance on recovery between workouts. If recovery is only average, you will not benefit from training the arms twice per week. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before, during and immediately after training will ensure that you have rapid delivery of the ideal raw materials needed for rapid growth and intense performance. How to Lose 10-20 Lbs of Ugly Body Fat in 4 Weeks!
Thanks to you my Spring Break stunk, one of your 180 lb clients asked me
for a spot while he cranked out reps with 100lb dbs. He was so lean and
muscular that his abs were 3D making me feel highly inadequate. He is
the same age, also in sales, but the customized routine you gave him
could not be any more different than my tired plan. Seeing Success is
believing. What can my wife and I do to shed body fat ASAP to finally
reach some long term goals and be ready for a great Summer at the pool?
Applying a highly intense effort while utilizing the correct techniques
for your situation consistently is an unstoppable fat burning and muscle
building force for Men and Women. The key to success is weight
training correctly to surge fat burning hormones, easier said than done
as Fat Torching Circuits due to extreme difficulty are not for those who
are not committed to rapid fat loss success. However if your muscles
are willing to take on some discomfort there is nothing that will work
faster to chop off ten or more pounds of worthless fat in a month for
men and women. Short rest periods combined with heavy loading and
controlled set tempos increase lactic acid which is a pre cursor to the
all powerful Growth Hormone. The higher those levels climb- the more
rapid your fat loss success will be. Minimize Rest Strategically to Maximize Fat Loss
The strategic pairing of 4 exercises below allow muscle groups to rest
just long enough to perform again while others are working creating a
near constant state of motion. Just going through the motions will
not do you any good as there huge difference in the bottom line between
those who put forth a 100% effort vs. only 90% based on years of my
research working with clients. The shear difficulty of the plan will
trigger the brain to want to reduce effort levels pre maturely. Amino

Synthesis forces the body to BURN more stored fat as fuel during
exercise while delivering a powerful anabolic fuel source for muscles
and fighting against sensations of fatigue allowing for a sustained
maximal effort to BURN as much fat as humanly possible with every gut

governing fat loss, but will also provide an even energy boost that does
not have you bouncing off the walls.
Preventing the Post Workout Hangover Ever
feel like you have been hit by a truck a few hours or the next morning
following a training session? In addition to the normal muscular
soreness experienced following training a heavy toll taken on the
nervous system due to repeated efforts of high loading can show up as
fatigue, lack of coordination, low energy and a general lack of drive.
Letting your body reach this status is a clear sign that fat burning
hormones are decreased and demonstrates that more emphasis must be
placed on recovery. Dr. Serrano's clinically tested
100%
MR and

Synthesis are crucial for rapid recovery of both the muscles and
nervous system in addition to providing the equivalent of dump trucks
full of quickly utilized muscle building raw materials. The harder you
can train on a consistent basis with optimal rates of recovery- the
faster you can pack on Muscle and Slash Body Fat. Leave No Stone Unturned
Fat Torching Circuits are a great start to
achieving your Summer Body goals. You must complete the equation with

Fixing Weak Links for Great Looking Guns and the Ultimate Post Workout Nutrition Strategy Roger L (my boss) gained 14 lbs of muscle and lost 16 lbs of fat with one of your 12 week customized plans. His arm definition are awesome for a working guy in his early 40s. He swears by the Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis -Sipping on it all day and has great energy. To get a great set of arms should I use the same plan? Michael
Customized plans are powerful tools as they address weak links specific
to the client needs to get progress going at a rapid pace. Evaluating
training history, injuries, pictures, strength levels etc reveals the
areas in need of work to unlock full potential. In Roger's case
reviewing his data revealed he never changed grips or training angles
strategically which lead to a lack of progress and several nagging
injuries. Proper muscular balance not only results in a larger arm
musculature, but also a more visually appealing set of guns. Furthermore
a wide shoulder width also creates the appearance of a V taper with a
smaller waist line.
Amino Loading sends
powerful fat burning signals as every time you Amino Load the brain
believes a large feast has been consumed forcing a huge increase in
metabolism, but there is nothing to burn except stored fat since the
MR/MS have no caloric burden. " Fix the Weakest Link Weak muscle heads cause the nervous system to shut down growth of stronger heads to avoid injury. The nervous system plays a huge role in both the strength and growth of muscles. Kill the nerve within a muscle and it will die quickly no matter what nutrients you intake. Building up weak muscle heads will allow the entire structure to grow like crazy! Train as hard as you want, without balance you will not win the growth or strength game while promoting major injury. My clients who start out with the most imbalances see the fastest progress as the body responds very quickly to corrective work. The longer and harder you have been training the greater the size of many strength deficits allowing for a great opportunity for rapid improvements. It is common for a client to put on 10 lbs of muscle during a 12 week training phase just be focusing on neglected areas. Trainees with 10 or more years in the gym must execute routines with the finer details hammered out to keep progress going. My advanced client programs have execution changes built in week every 1 to 2 weeks to ensure growth and fat loss stimuli are fresh to the nervous system. The harder you make the muscles work with fresh stimuli- the more beneficial the stimulation of muscle fibers. However there must be a clear method to the madness as changes at random can be detrimental to progress.
Corrective Muscle Heads Training for Great Guns!
Preparing for War With The Iron 30 minutes before the training session sipping on the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis ready the muscles for war with weights by supporting an optimal hormonal environment. Remember that hormones govern progress making regulation of stress hormones in particular very important. Waiting until after the training session to provide building blocks makes no sense. During training Amino Loading throughout the session to keep hard working muscles well fueled with growth materials. Immediately after the last set with no time to spare get the third and final wave of 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to saturate hard working muscles with the ideal ratios of raw materials.
Use the Nutrient Super Highway to Drive Success
Blasting Belly Fat For Good Scott I am doing an hour of cardio 6 days per week, cut my food intake way back and still cannot get rid of this belly fat. My lack of progress and other work stuff in my life is really stressing me. I am lean everywhere else, but I have 15-20 lbs to chop off the gut and I would look great. Join the club as your challenges matches what we help clients conquer every day. You are a text book case of stress hormones gone wild which support fat storage especially in the mid section. Men have a high density of fat storage receptors around the gut and love handles which are activated by elevated stress hormones such as cortisol. Excessive steady state cardio and low food intake drive cortisol levels even higher compounding the problem. So yes some of your steps have actually set your progress back. Our clients do fantastically well slashing body fat with interval sprints done in a variety of formats and not a single minute of steady state cardio. "You can train hard and eat "right" for months with NO results or even experience a back slide in progress if the hormonal profile is a mess. Take the correct steps to naturally optimize your hormonal profile and every bit of hard work will pay off." Eric Serrano MD Your nutrition and supplement plan must be structured to meet your needs and goals as you are highly carb sensitive since insulin sensitivity is negatively impacted by stress and sub optimal sleep cycles. Poor insulin sensitivity results in an over secretion of the powerful fat storing hormone insulin every time you eat. Intake of refined carbs often craved by people under stress support rapid fat storage. Dr. Serrano's Alpha Omega M 3 is a great tool for changing your fat burning fortunes through several pathways. Fix Fat Cells and Solve your Body Fat Problems Years of essential fatty acid research along with extensive patient trials prove that Alpha Omega is a powerful Belly Fat Blasting tool. Do not mistake the Alpha Omega for a price club "fish oil" designed for general purposes. AO is built to be a fat burning juggernaut containing filtrated EPA/DHA, CLA, GLA, Vitamin E and Lecithin in perfected ratios that can not only lower fat storing hormones, but also torch stubborn stored garbage lodged in fat cells! Fixing fat cells is one of the most over looked yet important factors involved with rapid fat loss. Lack of Progress Hitting You Like a Ton of Bricks?
Difficulty Sleeping? Let me also guess that you do not sleep well have and have big swings in energy during the day? This pulls down mood and makes sticking with proper nutrition choices even harder. Try Fat Reduce AM 30 minutes before training for a great boost in mental focus that will not have you jumping out of your skin. The combination of ingredients primes the body for fat burning during exercise through multiple pathways. Considering long working hours, business travel and the stress response from hard training at times a metabolic mess which blocks progress despite hard work can be in place. Optimizing Fat Burning Hormones A powerful tool for accelerating fat loss is the Fat Reduce AM/PM formulas designed to support optimization of the hormonal factors which govern fat loss. A 30 day Fat Reduce trial including 30 patients demonstrated an average increase of over 400 calories per day in metabolic expenditure without any changes to diet or exercise. Extensive blood work was performed before and again after the trial to measure the beneficial changes in specific success markers. The PM Fat Reduce formula was designed to promote relaxation to help transition into a high quality of sleep. Improving the quality of the sleep cycle is one of the easiest things anyone can do to make major improvements to their hormonal profile. Strategic Nutrition Changes for Rapid Progress Since you are fighting some hormonal battles the diet is even more critical than normal circumstances. You must make use of strategic macronutrient cycling by manipulating carb, dietary fat and protein levels to optimize fat hormones as well as fat burning enzymes. Nutrition plans must change frequently to avoid staleness and adapt to ever changing conditions- no we are not talking about simply switching from eating chicken to turkey. The Fat Burning Devil is in the Details. Scott's customized plans are made simple for clients who just need to focus on execution and the belly fat will burn off fast. How Drop 15 Lbs of Body Fat and Pack on 15 Lbs of Rock Hard Muscle in 12 weeks I witnessed 2 of your clients do the most brutal workout I have ever seen. They used only enough rest to sip on Their 100% MR + Muscle Synthesis and yet their weights were more than what I can do with 3 minutes rest. These guys looked like fitness cover models and both told me they gained 15 lbs of muscle and lost 15 lbs of fat in 3 months! How do I accomplish the same? The human body can accomplish fantastic things when the appropriate training, nutrition and recovery methods are put into use. Anyone can train with short rest periods using those pastel colored dbs from the aerobics classes. However building up the work capacity to push around heavy loads using disciplined rep speeds with short rest is an unstoppable fat burning and muscle growing force. In theory this Metabolic Pinnacle is possible to reach, however few are willing to work hard enough in the gym to make it happen. The massive increase of lactic acid from High Density Training is a precursor to all powerful fat burning growth hormone. The greater the quality of the workout, the higher the fat burning rewards! At the same time heavy loading stimulates muscles fibers creating a growth opportunity. HD Training Pushing It To The Limit The 2 clients (both in their 40's) you mentioned are family men working a lot of hours with little time to train. They have earned great results through consistently working hard and smart- you can to. To say there will be some "muscle burning" during HD training is a massive understatement. Amino Loading with the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis 30 min before, during and immediately after training is essential for the best results. HD Training puts the muscles under tremendous stress and without their preferred fuel source, muscles will want to quit before reaching the hormonal threshold needed for the fastest possible body comp progress. How do we know the exact ratios needed not only to sustain high work output, but to also lay the foundation for rapid growth? Muscle Biopsies and hormonal blood work were crucial to help Dr. Serrano crack the genetic code and determine the ideal ratios of raw materials. Change or Watch your Results Die Building the workout capacity to execute high density workouts must be done in a strategic manner over a series of 4-6 week training phases. I measure many individual factors before building a customized routine. Advanced clients need strategic changes every 1-2 weeks due to the maturity of their nervous systems and this can by way of a refinement of rep counts, loading patterns, tempo, rest periods and more. Keep in mind the HD routine below is more challenging than what most people have ever attempted. You must Amino Load with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to support recovery or do not bother with this routine as the muscle damage and neurological stress will otherwise be too severe. High Density Rapid Fat Loss and Muscle Growth Training Sets Reps Tempo Rest A1. 30 deg incline DB Press 2 (8-8-8-8) 3-2-1-0 180 A2. 30 deg prone DB Row 2 (8-8-8-8) 3-1-1-2 180 B1. Close Grip Push Ups 2 (8-8-8-8) 3-2-1-0 180 B2. Chin Ups 2 (3-3-3-3) 3-1-1-1 180 Perform a warm up with the rep sequence above to help identify the proper load for your work sets. You will only need 2 revolutions and prioritize proper form as these details can quickly be forgotten as the adrenaline takes over. Start with a weight that you can do for 8 reps, decrease the load 10 lbs and right away do 8 more reps. Each set has 4 phases of 8 reps and you will need to drop by 10 lbs for each subsequent phase due to the residual fatigue. Rest 180 seconds between sets while sipping the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to aid with recovery. Attention: Are You Earning the Results you Deserve? If you are busting your butt in the gym and staying away from junk food only to earn average results- Your training and nutrition routine Sucks! You must make Strategic Changes or do not expect better results! You owe it to yourself to have the best supplement tools and program designs to support your goals.

Doubling the Rate of Fat Loss Through Multiple Metabolic Activations Scott I am in good shape compared to the average Joe, but this year I finally want to achieve my dream physique going from 17% to 10% body fat and putting on 20 lbs of muscle to reach 210 lbs at 5'10 in time for my 39'th birthday. My leg training historically has been lacking due to excessive soreness, but that is no longer a problem since starting the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around training. I have noticed some fat loss and muscle growth already, what will happen when I start taking them between meals? Bo Miami Bo your goals are aggressive and highly achievable with the correct training and nutrition program design- that is what I am here for! I have helped numerous clients reach similar lifelong physique goals in 2010 following years of failing to do it on their own or with other trainers. Customizing every element to meet your specific needs is crucial as the longer you have been training, the more difficult it is to make the body respond in many ways. Most trainees start the year with the right work ethic, but lack an appropriate long term strategy and as a result quality of execution goes downhill as results start to slow. The first 5-10 lbs of fat loss or muscle growth is relatively easy, but going further requires more than just beating yourself up in the gym.
The key to rapid fat loss while increasing lean muscle mass is creating multiple metabolic activations each week through a variety of techniques while supporting recovery needs. A Fire Storm Weight training session will elevate fat burning for the next 48 hours or more. This allows every waking moment of those next two days to be more productive, however there is a limit to the number of intense weight training workouts you can do in a week without overtraining and the related hormonal crash. This forced us to think critically about how to create more fat burning opportunities. Through sound experimentation we determined in addition to weight training short interval sprint sessions, body weight exercise routines and Amino Loading Between meals worked perfectly to double the rate of client fat loss! Yes that is correct- Double the rate of fat loss! Riding The Exercise And Metabolic "High" 10-20 minute body weight and interval sprint routines done a few times per week send fat burning into over drive while improving energy and crushing cravings. They support the feeling of riding on the exercise mental "high" all week. This comes in especially handy for the cold climates where the winter blues tend to kill motivation levels. These sessions can be done without a gym or much equipment making them highly time efficient and flexible. You can make the time for them and it will make every other minute in your week more energetic as a pay off. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around these brief sessions forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel during exercise while laying the foundation for rapid muscle repair. Amino Loading for Powerful Fat Burning and Muscle Building Signals All foods contain amino acids which act as signal carriers to the brain during the digestion process providing specific instructions for hormonal and metabolic actions. The better the food choices and larger the food intake the higher the volume of positive signals supporting muscle growth and fat burning. Dr. Serrano spent years reviewing thousands of hormonal blood profiles, patient body fat tests, metabolic testing, muscle biopsies and more before perfecting the ratios of the Amino Loading power house. Years of hard work paid off as a break through discovery occurred isolating the sources of the most powerful fat burning and muscle building signals. Just a couple scoops of 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis force the metabolism into high gear in anticipation of a large volume of food equal to 250 to 500 calories, however the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis have no caloric burden forcing the calories to be burned from stored fat. Imagine the impact Amino Loading will have on your success done several times per day! A high percentage of trainees neglect the lower body, letting a great fat burning opportunity go to waste. Involving a large group of muscles at the same time supports an ideal fat burning environment. Fire Storm Fat Burning Training stimulates a wide cross section of muscle fibers with heavy loading before the finishing sets which capitalize on the pre fatigued conditions of the muscles. Do not be fooled by the body weight full squats (butt to floor) and parallel wall sets just because they do not require weights. They will create a burning sensation unlike anything you ever imagined. Fire Storm Fat Burning Sets Reps Tempo Rest A1. DB Deadlift 3 4-6 3-1-1-1 75 B1. Rear Leg Elevated Lunge 2 6-8 3-2-1-0 60 B2.

A few people I know have done extremely very well with your Zero Tolerance plan losing body at a rapid pace and keeping it off. What makes it different than all the rest? I have lost track of how many millions of ugly body fat pounds have been lost over the last several years by clients using the ZTP. Dr. Serrano and I built the plan and its subsequent advanced plans to not only conquer the common barriers blocking rapid fat loss, but to also increase the optimization of fat burning hormones over time. The life altering body changes our clients demand to look their best require time to build metabolic and hormonal momentum. Our clients see their fastest rates of progress during month 2 and 3 of a plan due to the correct execution of strategies customized to their needs. Think of it as being highly Advanced Yet Simple to follow. A vast majority of plans rely on lowering caloric intake, increasing exercise, wrapped up with a gimmick of some sort to convince people it will work. Our Caveman like instincts grind fat burning to a halt when a period of low food intake is detected. Steady State Cardio Does Not Work Add in a bunch of steady state cardio and you will really kick fat storage into high gear! Fighting against your primal instincts will result in some fat loss, but your body will fight to gain back every pound of fat and more when your initial efforts stalls making the whole process counterproductive. Why work so hard to end up with more fat than when you started, not to mention the wasted muscle. Keeping It Simple and Effective One key to success is keeping things simple, 99% of the population cannot count calories, prepare all of their food to bring to work and avoid eating out for any meaningful period of time. ZTP is easy to execute relying on a wide variety of the correct food choices 3 to 4 times per day with Amino Loading between meals to accelerate fat burning while improving energy and mental focus. Just like training your nutrition plan must also change strategically to avoid metabolic staleness. Macronutrient cycling is a simple way of changing food sources at certain times to rapidly increase crucial fat burning enzymes while optimizing the hormonal environment. Rotating foods can prevent the sluggishness stemming from food sensitivities developed from eating the same foods every day. If your diet has not changed in years, it must in order for you to earn new progress. People with high energy make good choices and do not self medicate with junk food and use low energy as an excuse to miss workouts. The 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis provide a powerful alternative energy source supporting intense exercise sessions and improved energy during daily activities while forcing the body to use more stored fat as fuel 24 x 7. Shrinking Fat Cells for Rapid Fat Loss How is body fat lost? Billions of Fat Cells govern your progress and must function correctly through proper consumption of dietary and essential fats. Alpha Omega provides the cells with the ideal ratio of raw materials needed to kick out stored fat to be used as fuel allowing cells to shrink. This collective reduction in size is how we lose body fat. Saturating the fat cell storage warehouse with the ideal materials form Alpha Omega can help to block future body fat accumulation through several metabolic and hormonal pathways. Every time you eat the addition of Alpha Omega helps to shut off fat storage mechanisms while supporting the metabolic fire! How much progress did you really make in 2010?

Preventing Holiday Body Fat Accumulation I met one of your clients in a Vegas gym who is Ripped and Strong as an OX pressing 125 lbs DBS for reps. Mike swears by your customized nutrition and training plans, he eats BIG 2 training days per week and the other 5 are more conservative. He gained 15 lbs of muscle and lost 10 lbs of fat over three months! How is this possible? How does he get away with the big eating? At the end of each year I end up piling on 15-20 lbs of body fat and then battle to get it off Jan 1. What is the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis he raving about? Larry Tucson Yes the Holiday season is here and many make this an excuse to take a huge step back and squander 10 months of hard work in only 2 months time. Using the right techniques you can gain muscle and lose fat while having time to eat practically anything you want. Big Mike is a good guy, but do not get too close to his 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis while he is training or he will tear your arm off! The Cyclical Nutrition Muscle Growth (CNMG) system coordinates a large food intake with the heaviest training sessions beforehand so that the body can use the raw materials to grow new muscle without accumulating new body fat when all of the cards are played right.
"I have patients who like to eat like crazy over holidays so we have conducted a few experiments recently using the Alpha Omega to block fat storage. 2 groups of patients were instructed to eat whatever they wanted for an entire week while 1 group exercised daily and used 9 Alpha Omega per day. The other group did nothing but sit on the couch. The Alpha Omega group did not gain a significant amount of body fat while the other experienced huge increases in body fat (8 lbs or more in only a week). The concentration of the new fat accumulation were in areas I associate with poor insulin management based on years of conducting elaborate blood work testing reviews. " Eric Serrano MD Avoid the Holiday Fat Gaining Trap and Insulin Coma A few consecutive meals including poor food choices such as refined carbs, fried items and more can quickly snow ball into a fat gaining disaster by surging fat storing insulin levels while sucking down a large volume of garbage that is easily converted to stored fat. The longer the poor eating goes on the greater the increase in insulin levels as this can compound daily until you reach a point where your flat stomach quickly turns into a Bowl full of Jelly. The vicious cycle is made worse by the associated drop in energy levels that drives hunger and intense cravings while destroying motivation to exercise, a status much like being possessed by a demon telling you it is ok to ruin your body with days of bad food choices. Weight training before consuming meals high in carbohydrate is a metabolic game changer and one of the leading methods for managing insulin sensitivity making it a crucial element to success. The strategic ratios of essential fats developed by Dr. Serrano within the Alpha Omega M 3 can help optimize insulin levels pushing a high percentage of the raw materials into muscles to support rapid growth instead of fat cells. Saturating your fat cells with higher dosages of Alpha Omega on specific days creates a powerful body fat storage barrier through multiple proven pathways. Massive Food intake to Fire Up Metabolism Before you jump the buffet line realize there is method to the madness here. For 5 days consume a high protein, medium fat, low carbohydrate plan which primes the body for the weekend macronutrient cycling. Focus two large meals high in good carb sources following heavy training on Saturday and Sunday early in the day to bolster nutrient supplies and activate an anabolic hormonal explosion. CNMG supports body fat loss by not only rotating macronutrient %, but also food intake. Have you ever noticed feeling hungry the next morning after a day of increased food intake? You might have wondered how this is possible since you were so stuffed just hours before? The body responds quickly to changing circumstances and the large influx of food sends metabolism through the roof for the next 12-48 hours creating a great fat burning opportunity the following day. Return to your normal level of food consumption the day following the feasts to support nearly effortless fat loss as your fat burning machine rages on. Amino Loading- Tricking The Body into Rapid Fat Burning What do muscles need to grow? Proper stimulation through training, an anabolic hormonal environment and an abundance of raw materials to be the building blocks for new muscle. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around training and between meals are crucial for rapid accumulation of new muscle while burning body fat. Dr. Serrano's scientifically engineered ratios of Amino Acids prime the hormonal environment for simultaneous muscle growth and fat loss while accelerating recovery from aggressive training. How is this possible? The efficiently utilized aminos provide tremendous amounts of growth materials without any caloric burden that can be converted into stored fat. Amino Loading between meals sends Anabolic Signals throughout the day making the brain believe a large volume of food has been consumed, as a result metabolic rate increases, but there is nothing to burn except stored fat for a raging metabolism since the MR/MS have no caloric burden.
The Customized Approach Customizing both training and nutrition to fit the individual client needs is crucial to ensure the fastest possible progress. Mike for example responds very well to heavy loading and is only moderately carb tolerant so we must adjust accordingly. We consider numerous factors when customizing a program including stress levels, lagging body parts, injury, age, training experience, genetics and more. Are you highly stressed like most of the population? Elevated stress hormones not only screw up insulin sensitivity and training capacity, but also flip on several other fat storing mechanisms. The correct strategy must be put into place or elevated stress hormones will wreck your progress, even if you are working hard on both nutrition and training. One proven tool for accelerating fat loss while under a high amount of stress is the Fat Reduce which works by manipulating several factors that govern fat loss. A high intake of the right foods along with Amino Loading increases training capacity tremendously. Time off of work to relax, extra sleep and other recovery improving elements must also be considered when determining training volume. We provide a range of sets so the client can choose the appropriate work load based on predicted recovery conditions on that given day. Remember that a training session is only productive if the body can optimally recover, otherwise a negative hormonal environment sets in. Multi Set Growth training is the ideal system for this time of year serving as the perfect change up from the medium to high rep plans many people use year round. Notice how much more fatigued your muscles feel from a heavy set of 5 reps vs. 10? Heavy loading made possible by the lower rep ranges stimulates the fast twitch muscle fibers with the greatest potential for growth. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before, during and after training ensures that the damaged fibers have the perfect ratios of fast acting raw materials to form new muscle immediately. Waiting until after training to digest a protein drink is too little too late. You will start with the highest possible weight you can use for 5 perfectly executed reps- reduce the load 10% hit 2-3 reps- reduce the load an additional 10% and do 2-3 more reps to complete the set. Do not be afraid to fail assuming you have a training partner to spot you for safety. Push the limits each week by increasing loads and you will be shocked by the progress. In many cases when training clients in the gym I have to lie to them about the weight they will use for the next set so that they are not intimidated by the increase. After the fact when realizing what weights were used a client with 10 previous years of training experience told me he was now hitting sets of 5 with weights that would have crushed him only a few months ago when trying a single!

Click here for the Fat cell cleansing Special Report Optimize Fat Cell Function to Get Rid of Belly Fat Forever! Scott what is the best way to kick start fat loss for a guy like me who is highly stressed working long hours? Every time things get tough at work or home it seems my gut grows over night. I would give anything just to have a six pack! Fat Cells have two settings much like a Vacuum Cleaner. They can be on stuck on suck up mode to grab everything available in the blood stream to build up fat storage levels for the dreaded swollen look just like the vacuum bag. Or the reverse setting to kick out as much stored garbage as possible to be metabolized as fuel. You can do most things right with diet and exercise and still not experience much success if the fat cells are not operating correctly for a number of reasons. Optimizing fat cell raw material levels as well as hormonal status through saturation of the vital ingredients within the Alpha Omega and you are on your way to rapid fat loss. For you and anyone else who is stressed program design is absolutely critical, not something you can figure out on your own. You are very sensitive to carb intake as well as training volume making even the slightest refinements crucial to your success. The hormonal environment typical of your situation must be addressed by shutting off the receptors driving fat storage which for men are plentiful in the abdominal region. Cleansing the Fat Cell There are many misconceptions about body fat- it is made up of billions of fat cells, some we are born with and others created by bad food choices such as corn oil used in frying. Once you have a large ware house of fat cells your capacity to store body fat is greatly increased. You can manipulate cell size by making them collectively shrink and that is how we lower body fat levels. Furthermore fill fat cells with their desired essential fatty acid materials found in Alpha Omega 's specific proprietary ratios and this cements a huge barrier to future body fat accumulation even when diet is less than perfect for stretches of time. Highly stressed people often binge and their sources are typically highly refined foods which have tons of fat storing attributes, but the trouble does not end there. The left over toxins, trans fats etc lodge in the fat cells forcing an unwanted expansion and inhibit the use of stored materials as fuel. The best way to get these cells back into fat burning mode is to purge the garbage with a high dosage of Alpha Omega to not only change the raw material landscape, but to also optimize the hormonal environment- limiting the fat storing impact of stress. Optimizing insulin sensitivity can stop hunger and cravings in their tracks quickly getting rid of the greatest barriers to success. "There is no shortage of stressed patients in my practice and Alpha Omega is a required tool for all of them. In addition to the great fat burning impact related to the carefully designed ratios of essential fats I have also found that clients may experience improved mood, less anxiety, fewer cravings for bad food choices and generally deal better with stressful situations." Eric Serrano MD Staying Lean Forever the "Easy" Way One of the greatest compliments we can get from a consult client is when they tell us they never thought staying lean, strong, with a ton of muscle would be so "easy" A key to prolonged success is rotating the emphasis of both training and nutrition to keep metabolism, hormones and other key factors fresh. So many fall into the trap of chasing fat loss forever without considering the laws of diminishing returns or the value new muscle will have in the war of winning their ultimate goal physique. Clients with more muscle can even spend a significant amount of time off a perfect diet without gaining body fat and losing muscle due to their superior metabolic and anabolic hormone levels. Optimizing the status of the fat cell is a key to long term success. Click here for the Fat cell cleansing Special Report Gain More Muscle To Torch Body Fat FAST- Forever! Scott you come highly recommended I have lost 20 lbs over the past couple months using high rep training and a ton of cardio, but fear much has been muscle since my chest and back are deflated. What should I do to get this fat off permanently for the ripped look I have been craving for years? Firing Up the Fat Burning Engine Get the MUSCLE back ASAP and then some with Muscle Ladder training and the correct nutrition programming to build up the lifelong fat burning engine! Every pound of muscle burns calories 24x7- the more you have the leaner you can be long term in my experience helping thousands of clients over the last 10 years. Chronic under eating, excessive steady state cardio, overtraining and other factors not only kills muscle but lowers anabolic hormone levels to little girl levels making any body comp improvement next to impossible. Training Heavy to Naturally Boost Testosterone Levels Muscle Ladder training is the perfect program based on your current situation since it sky rockets fat burning hormones, stimulates a wide cross section of muscle fibers to rectify common deficiencies and boosts muscle mass fast! It is common to see a new client who has been over dieting for an extended period pack on 10 lbs of muscle or more within 8 weeks while losing body fat! Training with heavy loads can also send Testosterone levels through the roof making everything you do more productive. For goodness sakes you must get stronger, if your lifts have not gone up since the Clinton administration- you will not grow new muscle or lose body fat! The keys to gaining strength include the routine design, effort, focus, proper nutrition and recovery efforts. Quantity of High Quality Work We want to naturally optimize hormones using a tactical approach instead of resorting to doing tons of sets just for the sake of telling ourselves we work "hard" Working smarter yields better results any day of the week. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis comes into play by helping to keep counterproductive stress hormones in check allowing for every training session to be more productive! The alternative energy source and strength boosting impact provided by the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis facilitate the combination of intensity and volume required for rapid physique improvement. My clients increase the quality of performance measured by strength gains while adding volume strategically pile on muscle and burns fat at warp speed for natural trainees. During week 1 after several preparation sets you will establish the correct work set weight by going 1 rep short of failure and maintaining this load for the rest of the sets. During set 3 you may fail to hit all of your reps and this is ok, but be sure to have a spotter. The high level of muscle fiber recruitment that takes place even during a failed rep is beneficial as this is a true sign of maximal effort, providing a great opportunity for growth, but only if recovery keeps up. The next week use the same load and add one rep to every set. By the time you reach week 4 your poundage per rep will dramatically increase helping you climb into Muscle Heaven! Feel Like You Were Hit by a Truck?- It is Too Late! Ever feel like you have been hit by a truck a few hours or the next morning following a training session? In addition to the normal muscular soreness experienced following training a heavy toll taken on the nervous system due to repeated efforts of high loading can show up as fatigue, lack of coordination, low energy and a general lack of drive. Letting your body reach this situation is a big mistake and clearly demonstrates that more emphasis must be placed on recovery. Dr. Serrano's clinically tested 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis are crucial for rapid recovery of both the muscles and nervous system in addition to providing the equivalent of dump trucks full of muscle building raw materials. The harder you can train on a consistent basis with optimal rates of recovery- the faster you can pack on Muscle and Slash Body Fat. Muscle Ladder Training Sets Reps* Tempo Rest A1.

His transformation was dramatic. He looks great for Summer -20 lbs of fat gone and 10lbs of new muscle in 12 weeks was more than we accomplished in 2 years. His muscle Pumps are huge when he takes the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis! What is your secret? Knowing exactly what training, nutrition and supplementation methods will work for individual situations and needs are my specialties driving RAPID client success. Writing tens of thousands of training and nutrition routines over the years for clients has helped me master this craft, but I continue to acquire new info daily. You can reach your short and long term goals by embracing change, obviously the tactics that you have been using are not working to your satisfaction. That is where a customized program changes the game forever. Breaking into the 10 and 10 Club The longer you have been training- the greater the importance of program design. After 5 years or so of training the nervous system becomes mature and so do the muscles, making new gains harder to earn in comparison to your early days of training. Training for 10 years or more? You better have the right training and nutrition program or forget about any potential progress. This is just a fact of the Iron Game. Getting into the 10 and 10 club by dropping at least 10 lbs of body fat and putting on an equal amount of muscle in 4-6 weeks is common for my customized consult clients. I provide the road map- you earn the results in the most efficient manner possible! Revolutionary Mega Pump Training Numerous Clients have achieved staggering body transformations with the Mega Pump training system, I call it a system because it is not a static program, rather the concepts are flexible- customized for individual clients needs based on age, injury status, goals, lagging body parts and more. The first few sets of an exercise will start with very heavy loading using controlled tempos. One of the biggest mistakes I see amongst new client prior training logs is never venturing into lower rep ranges to push the envelope of strength. What more Muscle and less FAT? Get STRONGER! Especially those who are more experienced must emphasize heavy poundages to tap into fast twitch muscle fibers. My experienced clients who increase strength levels 5-8% on a majority of exercises over a 4 to 6 week period will gain muscle at much faster rates than Joe average who is satisfied with the same bench press max since 1992! Ask yourself when was the last time you broke one of your own strength records? Higher Loading sets will challenge the nervous system as well as muscles which are rapidly being broken down. Amino loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before, during and immediately after training will not only improve performance, but also provide the crucial raw materials to re build muscles to be bigger and stronger than ever before! The Finishing Break- Set The Most Productive 60 Seconds of Your Life! Following the initial heavy sets you will finish off each exercise with a higher rep Break Set. Joe average may approach this by banging out 12 reps, but we are not settling for average results so we take things to whole different level. Attack this set with a Break Set Mentality so that you can achieve a much higher load per rep than traditional methods. Use the highest possible load for 4 reps, strip the load 10-15% and right away, get 4 more reps and finally strip the load again 10-20% and without delay finish with 4 excruciating reps. A training partner can help strip the loads while you rest just long enough to release some tension, you will be surprised how quickly your strength regenerates after just 20 sec of rest when Amino Loading during the training session. My advanced clients create more growth opportunities by getting assistance from a partner after failing on their own to pump out the couple extra reps that separate them from everyone else in the gym! Does this task seem super human? It is- you must Amino Load with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to have the fuel sources needed to perform and ultimately benefit from the finishing sets. The Biggest Arm Pump You Have Ever Seen The metabolic and hormonal conditions created by MP Training Peak the Muscles to suck up raw materials creating Muscle Pumps like you have never experienced before. Take advantage of the massive blood flow in your arms to deliver the easily utilized raw materials within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. A protein shake is too little too late as the digestion process robs muscles of blood flow and takes too long to deliver fuel. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis amplifies the post workout window of opportunity by bypassing digestive hang ups and optimizing hormones. "I spent years doing muscle biopsies, researching published papers and finally extensive patient experiments to determine the perfect ratios of aminos necessary for 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. Optimal ratios in high dosages support rapid muscle growth, recovery and body fat loss. Amino Loading is unmatched for effectiveness!"

We must consider training, digestion capabilities, food allergies, genetics and more. While some respond well to a higher carb intake following training, others may see better results with a higher optimal dietary fat intake. Have the one size fits all approaches you have used before worked to get you to your goals? This is where having the right guidance comes into play as we formulate a plan for your needs to ensure your hard work pays off! Feasting- to Increase Muscle and Slash FAT Your meal composition following training must support your goals which is why I customize pre and post workout meals for my clients. You want your biggest influx of carb and strategic amino acid intake during the couple hours following this session to surge muscles full of glycogen helping to increase muscle size while bolstering future fuel sources. In this situation a higher carb intake typically works well, however the amounts and sources will vary pending many individual factors. Do not waste your time with fancy sugars following training as they are easily converted to stored fat. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis and some raw honey is all you need post training to get everything on the fast track. Preventing Body Fat Accumulation Remember eating post training is a whole different ball game than any other time of day- you must capitalize on the conditions created by the training session to make your hard work pay off. Take advantage of summer BBQ's by consuming all of the clean protein and good dietary fat sources you can over a 6 hour period following training. Be sure to use 9-12 Alpha Omega on this day to prevent body fat accumulation and force more raw materials into hungry muscles. Optimizing insulin ensures that the bodies most anabolic hormone is working for you to push nutrients into muscles instead of fat cells. Alpha Omega saturates fat cells with their desired materials making it highly difficult for new body fat to manifest. This important tool helps clients increase muscle rapidly without piling on body fat. Now be careful as you cannot have a massive food session following every training session if reducing body fat is a big priority. Position your largest feeding of the week following training of your lagging body parts so they get the best possible nutrition support to catch up with other areas. How much progress have you really made in the last 3 months? Did you go forward or back? We will get your on the fast track for your new summer body. You owe it to yourself.

At age 37 I can bench 315lbs at body weight of 195, but no improvement in 3 years and my chest will just not grow. How often should I change my program and how? Can you help me gain 10 lbs of muscle, lose 10 lbs of body fat and get my bench to 350 in 3 months? Jim San Diego Yes – I have helped many clients who I call Powerbuilders achieve exactly what you are aiming to do. We have to fix the weakest links- typically the upper back and posterior shoulder muscles, while firing up the nervous system. Balancing the musculature can prevent injury and remove several barriers to muscle growth put in place by the nervous system to prevent you from becoming to front heavy. You will train your chest twice per week, one day emphasizing speed with sub maximal loads and very short rest periods to elevate growth hormone levels. A heavy session using an extended negative rep system which will create a fat burning and muscle building explosion!!! The split will resemble the brilliance of the Westside powerlifting system with modifications to transform body comp. Many of my clients can bench twice their body weight raw through the use of devices such as chains, resistance bands and other special tactics to sky rocket strength levels. anyone strong enough to bench twice their body weight- will be very lean with a high amount of lean body mass! The more advanced the trainee- The Greater the Importance of the Routine! A great deal of confusion and general lack of information exists in the public realm regarding program design. Putting together successive 4-6 week routines takes both experience and skill with an endless number of factors to consider when striving for client success. To make a long story short thinking you can earn great results by simply doing “more” work with each successive phase is dead wrong. A series of factors such as density, intensity, volume and other progressions must be rotated to avoid overtraining and to optimize anabolic hormones. You must make use of new exercises and execution patterns to avoid neurological staleness. The more experienced the trainee the greater the importance of the program design and the timing of variety. Routines that I design for advanced clients can have changes to certain factors as often as every 2 weeks. New consultation clients often comment that they earn better results working with me in 12 weeks than the prior year. Neurological Stimulation for Massive Muscle, Strength and Fat Burning. On the last couple sets of the B series exercises your partner will spot you as you lower the load over 6 seconds. Having a qualified spotter will enable you to choose an aggressive load to be executed with proper form. If the spotter has to jump in on the first 2 reps you must reduce the load for the next set. Remember the stronger you are, the greater your potential for growth as heavy loading stimulates fast twitch fibers with the greatest growth potential. The long eccentric combined with the high loading of this routine will create a hormonal explosion ideal for fat burning and muscle growth. You will be inflicting a tremendous amount of damage on the muscle which is only productive if you provide the right raw materials for the muscles to regenerate bigger and stronger. Combined with the right nutrition plan and consistent Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around training you can expect to gain 10 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks. You must be ready to capitalize with a high dosage of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before and after training. Dr. Serrano’s (a champion powerlifter) scientifically engineered ingredient ratios support rapid utilization of aminos by replicating the structure of fast twitch muscle fibers. Not only do the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis with “physical recovery” They also rapidly accelerate recovery of the nervous system which is crucial for increasing both strength and lean body mass.

What plan will keep me focused with good energy? Why is your Fat Reduce better than all of the others out there? Brad The Extreme Crash Diet (ECD) is exactly what you need , based on the name alone you can tell that no stone is left unturned, but there is much more to the success equation that just lowering food intake. You have a short window of time before the body will use all of its power to fight against fat loss in an effort to protect you against perceived starvation. Using the right tools and tactics will not only prevent a slow down, but surge the rate of fat loss enabling you to lose huge amounts of fat in just 30 days. Based on the client status at the end of the 30 day period a new protocol will be used to either maintain body fat loss, increase muscle mass or go after even greater body fat loss. The right sequencing of nutrition plans will ensure that you never suffer from a rebound or a plateau. New Rules regarding Eating Many Small Meals for Fat Loss Over the last 20 years we have been programmed to eat many small meals to stimulate fat burning and muscle growth. The idea is to keep the body burning energy all day long approx every 3 hours, but this does provide a lot of energy in the form of food for the body to burn before it can get to fat reserves. I agree with this strategy if you have several months to go this route, but we specialize in rapid results. Instead of using 6 meals we will use 3 with amino loading between to mimic the actions of food, but without any caloric burden. So guess what? Fat burning is stimulated, but the only material available to burn is stored fat as the aminos have no caloric burden and can travel right to the muscles. Amino Loading signals to the brain that a huge amount of food has been consumed- sending fat burning into over drive. How do I know this? Hard scientific observation and helping patients reach their goals for 20 years! Stress Kills Progress It is easy for my clients to stay focused when they see such dramatic changes take place in the mirror. One of the greatest barriers to success is stress as the corresponding hormones stimulate fat storage and increase cravings. Oftentimes stress increases when a trainee does not see the results they are working towards. That will be no problem when using the ECD plan leading to feelings of success which build confidence helping you to avoid office doughnuts and other traps. Fat Reduce Blazing Trails and Destroying Fat Fat reduce is a multifaceted -permanent fat loss solution designed to manipulate several key metabolic, cellular and hormonal factors governing fat loss. A comprehensive day and night formula rapidly increase fat burning over the entire 24 hour daily cycle without the use of ephedrine or herbal equivalents. Busting Fat Loss Barriers I became interested in hormones many years ago as they govern all body composition and performance progress. Following the evaluation of tens of thousands of blood test results I was able to determine the optimal ratios of hormones to support maximum fat burning, and that was the easy part. Developing a formula to create these optimal hormonal changes was the big challenge. Along with proper nutrition, exercise and life style management Fat Reduce has consistently improved the fat loss fortunes of trainees wanting to get to single digit body fat levels with a great set of abs. We conducted a 30 day trial a few years ago which demonstrated an average increase of over 400 calories in daily expenditure and follow up blood work revealed great improvements. Most importantly the participants lost a tremendous amount of body fat and some of these trial participants had been struggling for years to break plateaus. Fat Reduce PM was designed to lower stress in the evening to support an easy transition into a deep level of sleep and to accelerate fat burning. Do not underestimate the importance of restful sleep which is vital for hormonal recuperation. Clients tell us within a week they wake up feeling well rested with greatly improved daily energy. Increased daily energy results in better food choices and exercise performance based on years of feedback collection. Several research studies demonstrate that in adequate sleep will lead to depressed levels of fat burning hormones.

The body must be challenged each workout using a combination of stimulation factors to increase the work out put vs. the previous session. No, adding more work is not the answer. The more experienced the trainee the greater the importance of the training strategy as beginners luck is long gone. How Much Progress Did You Make Last Year? Anyone reading this article take a moment to ask yourself how much progress you make in the last 12 months? Did you reach your goals if any were set? Did you get worse than the previous year? Unfortunately the answers to these questions will be depressing for most and present harsh realities that the strategies used were wrong! Choose to train using the right methods and I can more than double your rate of progress so you can earn the body of your dreams for Spring 2010! Building The Fat Burning Wild Fire Many routines will burn some calories, but that is only a small part of the success equation. Unilateral Contraction Training stimulates a fat burning wild fire for the next 48 hours by optimizing the hormonal environment and metabolism. The key is to do a high volume of work in a short window of time with the best possible work quality. You will go nowhere fast performing 1,000 reps of 20 lbs arm curls as this may cause fatigue, but does not properly stimulate muscles. Training unilaterally (one arm at a time) forces the body to work harder than a set using both limbs as normal. The systematic challenge presented by training unilaterally will be foreign to the body forcing the system to expend massive calories while boosting precursors to fat burning hormones. The resulting increased work performed per training session by doing double the work in the same or less time than your typical workout represents a massive improvement and FAT BURNING explosion Earning a SIX Pack to Die For! Your core will be forced to activate during every single rep during unilateral training to stabilize the torso and this work will rapidly improve development. Get your body fat levels between 10-12% and you will have a six pack to die for! Using one limb at a time allows for a greater range of motion than bilateral sets helping to protect joints from future injury while improving the development of often neglected support muscles. Delivering Perfect Amino Growth and Recovery Materials You will hold the contraction on top of the movement for 4 excruciating seconds, while doing a db chest press for example you will aim to push the db through the roof for 4 seconds which will lift your shoulder blades off the bench. This ischemic contraction will deliver a massive blood flow to the muscles following the set which carries in nutrients and waste materials out. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle SynthesisH around Unilateral contraction sessions is absolutely vital serving as a perfect opportunity to stuff muscles with building blocks for rapid muscle growth and repair. The Amino Loading combo spares muscle and forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel during training through multiple pathways. Meet the Demands of your Muscles for their Preferred Raw Materials. Clients achieve a new level of intensity when training unilaterally pushing themselves beyond their expectations. Be fair warned you must support this challenge by Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle SynthesisH before and after training to ensure high performance levels and rapid neurological recovery. Otherwise a system this demanding is not for you. Dr. Serrano’s scientifically engineered ratios of aminos are unmatched for their fat burning and muscle growing potential.

Busting Fat Burning Plateaus for a Great Physique I know gaining muscle while losing fat is very difficult for fundamental reasons, but what nutrition plan gives me the best chance to gain some muscle while maximizing fat loss? Jerry New Orleans The typical long term low nutrient intake plan making use of high protein with low carb and fat levels is a bad strategy if you are looking to get very lean- FAST. I am a metabolic janitor having to fix messes created by clients not due to bad intentions, but a lack of information. The Fat Buster plan is perfect for busting plateaus and promoting rapid fat loss progress by making use of enzymatic, hormonal and metabolic principles that the public does not understand. Humans are creatures of habit and this one of our greatest downfalls as we can easily make the fat burning mechanisms very stale brining progress to a frustrating halt. Enzymes Hold the Keys to A Fat Burning Treasure Chest A little known factor of fat loss and Muscle growth is enzymatic activity, which if turned in your favor will accelerate progress but if availability is low you are headed nowhere fast. Enzymatic activity is increased according to food consumption, for example eat a high amount of carbs and enzymes will be available to burn the carbs, the same holds true for proteins and dietary fats. Rapid fat loss requires the body to burn stored fat as fuel and an elevated intake of good dietary fat consumption will increase the enzymes needed to get the job done. However combine the wrong carb sources and amounts and the fat burning enzymes will not reach peak levels. Macronutrient Cycling for Rapid Fat Loss By the time this issue hits the stands many people will have arrived at a major plateau if they started an effort around Jan 1. The amounts of protein, dietary fat, and carbohydrates must be manipulated in a strategic manner to avoid metabolic staleness. A consistent intake of high protein levels without spiking dietary fat and carb intake will result in the body using muscle as a fuel source since protein is abundant from daily food intake. Why? The enzymes needed to use protein as a fuel source will be very active due to the high protein intake. We do not want to make protein the bad guy, but try lowering intake from 1.5g per lean pound of body weight to 1g a couple days per week while spiking carb or dietary fat levels to prevent metabolic staleness. Physique Breakfast of Champions Yes lowering protein intake to moderate levels on certain days will reduce the availability of certain building blocks, however these can be efficiently replaced by Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around workouts and between meals. Designed following many years of research including muscle biopsies to determine the exact ratios needed to support rapid muscle growth and repair. Remember quality ingredient intake is only beneficial when they can be properly utilized making the proprietary ratios absolutely crucial to your success. This combo does not increase protein burning enzymes; allowing fat burning enzymes to increase rapidly thus torching unwanted body fat- FAST. Use the MR and Muscle Synthesis around training as well as between meals to force the body into using more stored fat as fuel, this also has a big impact on metabolism by making the brain understand that an abundance of food has been consumed, as a result metabolic rate is raised through the roof! A few days per week use a high dosage of 100% MR and Muscle SynthesisH to replace your breakfast and watch your body fat disappear for good! Kick out the Fat! Fat cells are a warehouse for stored fat and are hormonally active, producing many types of hormones necessary for general health and to communicate between cells. Alpha Omega provides the vital raw materials and tools for optimal metabolism and synthesis. Optimizing fat cell function will help the body burn stored rapidly. Providing the ideal materials to cells supports a beneficial level of cellular fluidity which improves fat burning communications between cells and the nervous system. Improved blood flow enables more nutrients and hormones to be delivered to desirable locations. email Scott@infinityfitness.com for your complementary copy of the Fat Burning Tools Special Report. Carbs Low forever? Carb Cycling to Kick Start Fat Loss My wife and I have lost 55 pounds combined since starting a 0 carb plan while using the MR and MS around training. We feel like progress is slowing down. It seems the consensus of the experts is that a low carb diet is the way to go, so do we ever need carbs again? Bill Every January new patients from around the country poor into my office crying about their lack of fat loss progress despite eating “clean” and in many cases also a 0 carb consumption. They detail their sacrifices; show me their journals, even videos of their workouts to demonstrate the intensity. They fail to realize that Hormones run the show. We believe in macronutrient cycling which makes use of certain foods on specific days to optimize fat burning while preventing metabolic staleness. A common mistake is to eliminate carbs, while getting rid or refined junk carbs is great long term- there are some good sources with great benefits when used correctly. Know how to naturally manipulate hormones with macronutrient cycling, proper exercise and supplementation to ensure your rapid succeed Fighting against hormones is a no win situation based on my 20 years of practicing medicine. Luckily for you I have reviewed thousands of blood work profiles and designed tens of thousands of fat loss plans so you will benefit from the successful experience of my patients. All nutrition plans must evolve to keep up with constantly changing conditions or progress will slow down. Low carb plans are excellent which represent a different approach than 0 as you mention. We believe in macronutrient cycling which makes use of certain foods on specific days to optimize fat burning while preventing metabolic staleness. A common mistake is to eliminate carbs, while getting rid or refined junk carbs is great long term- there are some good sources with great benefits when used correctly. Heat Up your Fat Burning Furnace with the Correct Carb Sources Following training the metabolic environment is primed to use carbs- think of it as putting a huge log on your fat burning fire- to make it burn at a higher temp for longer. You want the metabolic fire extended as long as possible. Using post workout carbs 1-2 times per week following training is enough to optimize fat burning while keep glycogen levels low forcing the body to use more stored fat as fuel 24x7. Carb Loading also increases crucial testosterone and thyroid levels which can accelerate fat loss 2 fold. Taking Alpha Omega While Eating Carbs Changes the Game Lowering carb intake has many benefits, but one that is typically overlooked is the impact on insulin. While insulin is a fat storage hormone it is also the most anabolic hormone and plays a vital role in the body comp/health equation. We do not seek to eliminate insulin, but rather to optimize the levels. Alpha Omega was specifically designed to help in this manner, containing proprietary ingredient ratios exclusive to Dr. Serrano’s formula. In other words many companies have tried to copy, but nothing is better than the real thing! Take two groups of patients- feed them exact same amounts of food and I will bet my bottom dollar that the group using the Alpha Omega will have a much better outcome losing 70-80% more body fat over a 1 month period. Alpha Omega saturates fat cells with their desired materials forcing out stored garbage to collectively shrink the size of your fat cell population. This is how body fat is lost as the cells cannot be destroyed. Fill the cells with the right materials and you will create a powerful barrier to fat storage. Build Boulder Shoulders without Injury! Scott a friend of mine turned me on to the 100% MR, Muscle Synthesis and Alpha Omega-They are awesome for recovery and growth as I have put on 10 lbs of muscle in 6 weeks! I need the right routine to build up my lagging shoulders without causing injury. How often do I need to change a routine to avoid a plateau? In a perfect world you can just pound muscles every session and they will grow like crazy. A common barrier to progress for men 30-40 is an accumulation of injuries from years of athletic competition and training without addressing the cause of problems. The sad truth is that many of these problems are self inflicted with poor program design; do not wait another day, dooming yourself to pain and dysfunction. Shoulder problems are often linked to an imbalance of muscle size as well as strength which can be corrected with the right routine. Furthermore when correcting imbalances the body will go from prioritizing protecting itself from injury to focusing all efforts to support rapid muscle growth. Your question about change is well timed since a major cause of training injury is over use of certain exercises such as the shoulder press and lateral raises without variations which can make matters worse. You Must Change Strategically or Watch Their Progress DIE! The greater your experience level the more frequent factors have to change to avoid plateaus. My advanced clients typically use 4 week routines with various changes taking place at week 3 including speed of reps, rest periods, grips etc. Making these changes at random is a big mistake; there must be method to the madness. Remember that stimulating muscle GROWTH is not just about making the right changes, but also progressively challenging the muscles every workout by increasing the amount of work done in a unit of time which can be achieved by boosting the load, longer rep tempos, shorter rest etc. Stimulating the Muscles is one part of the equation- Amino Loading to provide the necessary growth raw materials while promoting an optimal hormonal environment can double your rate of progress. 100 % MRH and Muscle Synthesis around training and between meals not only accelerates growth, but also rapidly increases the rate of muscular recovery. The faster the rate of recovery the lower risk of certain tissue related injuries, as prolonged micro tears induced by training can easily become major muscle ruptures if you train without being fully recovered from the prior workout. Building up the Strategic Amino Acid Reserve During a recent trial test groups using a higher 100 % MRH and Muscle SynthesisH dosages experienced big increases in reps per set as well as 1 rep max and the participants were all seasoned trainees with 5 years or more of training experience. We believe that a strategic build up of amino acids takes place within the muscle bellies (making them rock hard!) when the right amounts of raw materials and ratios are consistently supplied to the muscles by the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. The Greater the Amino the Supply- the better performance, recovery and growth! Ratios of aminos are vital to promote optimal utilization as many elements can compete for absorption -this took years of research including examining muscle biopsies to determine the perfect profile of ingredient ratios easily utilized by the muscles. The proof came to light during countless trials with my patients who range from professional athletes to fitness enthusiasts. They all earned great progress- increasing Muscle Mass and Slashing Body fat 50-75% faster than the control group- It was just a matter of tailoring the dosage protocols to their individual needs and goals. You would think Dr. Serrano’s Saturday workouts are a pain treatment clinic as the injured line up to workout with him desperate for relief. You did not give us any information about your specific problems so the routine below is designed to increase muscle growth ASAP while addressing common weakness to prevent future injury. The prone db front raise will facilitate activation of the nervous system and necessary blood flow to make sure muscles are ready to go to war. The 8 second negative- does what You will go from the weakest to the strongest grips to build up lagging areas and to pre fatigue before using your strongest Shoulder Press and Shrug grips. The Double Quarter lateral raise puts you at a tremendous mechanical disadvantage making the muscles work excruciatingly hard. Finally the pause at the top of the shrug will recruit so many fibers they will be screaming at you the next day for more aminos as they will be on a growth rampage! Get Boulder Shoulders!

What can I do to prevent putting on a bunch of body fat? Our clients have had great success with a few simple strategies that have not only allowed them to stay lean, but to also put on some muscle when that is the goal. There is more to gaining body fat than just calories, as mentioned many times before hormones and other metabolic factors govern body fat loss and accumulation. You can promote a productive anabolic hormonal status through a combination of hard training, high nutrient intake, rest and supplementation. Skipping any of these factors will put you on the highway to a waist line expansion that you have ever imagined. I cannot emphasize enough how important the training element is within this success equation. Hungry muscles stimulated by training will suck up excess raw materials- starving fat cells from the materials they need to grow. Multi Set Growth Training described above is great for a time period of high food intake as greater levels of intensity will contribute to more muscle growth. Training Heavy with a high volume potentiates a big increase in anabolic hormone levels. It is always a good idea to train very hard an hour or so before a big holiday meal to create an environment that will enable the body to push nutrients into muscles instead of fat cells. Our research indicates that Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle SynthesisH around workouts and between meals leads to Muscle Accretion which is a build up of Amino Levels in the blood stream. This increased availability of raw materials combined with an up tick in anabolic hormones such as testosterone is a powerful Muscle GROWING and Fat BURNING combination ensuring that excess food intake converts primarily to muscle and not body fat. Take advantage of Amino Loading between meals in addition to the workout timing mentioned in the answer above to accelerate your muscle growth time table. Fill Up Fat Cells with the Right Materials to Shut Down Body Fat Accumulation Your fat cells are the storage ware house for excess materials- fill up this space with good fats and you can prevent accumulation of new body fat. The body is very smart- provide it with tons of good fats and it will suck them up filling cells rather quickly. Alpha Omega was designed to provide all of the great benefits of Omega 3 while being engineered to maximize body comp improvements. Take 9-12 caps per day along with good fat choices with meals and watch your pants waist stay loose and your sleeves get tight with new increases in muscle! Loading up on the right combination of essential fats can also improve insulin sensitivity making the body release less of this powerful fat storage hormone. I suggest that you pick certain weeks that you will have a much higher food intake and coordinate this with more training volume to capitalize on the extra raw materials and anabolic environment. Thanksgiving and X mass offer great opportunities as you have extra time off from work and the availability of vast tasty leftovers! Having more time to train is not the key here as sessions should not exceed an hour, but time to eat more frequently and to relax elevates your training capacity big time by lowering stress hormones. It is not uncommon for some patients to see drops in body fat levels during the holidays and when on vacation due to a drop in stress levels compared to the normal grind. Customized Training Programs delivering Massive Muscle From Santa! Scott Oct –Dec are a disaster for me every years since I lose focus; getting fat and training intensity goes down big time. I need to gain 15-20 lbs of muscle before considering another fat loss phase. One of your clients in my gym who is absolutely huge and ripped swears by the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis and he is never in the gym without water bottle full of it in hand. What does this stack do? Jake Las Vegas We can do it together!- with the right level of effort and program customization this will be accomplished. Multi Set Growth Training is a great system with many moving parts and variables that can be customized to fit your individual needs ensuring the fastest possible progress. What may seem to be minor adjustments add up quickly to boost the bottom line. October- December represent 25% of your possible training opportunities each year and can put you ahead of the game come Jan 1 to ensure a great physique by spring or put you far behind the pack forcing you to spend the first 3-6 months of the year cleaning up last year’s self sabotage. My clients capitalize on the holiday season by training for maximal muscle growth and take advantage of the higher food intake at certain times by boosting up training volume. Keep in mind that new muscle during the winter burns more fat even at rest making getting extremely lean easier in a shorter time period. On top of that who would not want some new rock hard muscle from Santa? 6 months ago Dr. Serrano put together a trial using 12 male patients with at least 5 years of training experience. He tested the use of 100% MRH and Muscle SynthesisH in different amounts and timing to measure the impact on performance, muscle growth and recovery. While using a standardized training and nutrition routine common amongst all participants the average increase of lean body mass was 8.5 lbs over a four week period with amazing gains in both strength and repetition capacity. The most potent protocol was determined to be 30 min before, sipping during and immediately after training. All three administrations are vital as the pre workout dosage provides a powerful fuel source while optimizing the hormonal environment. Sipping during training prevents muscle break down and keeps muscles saturated with growth materials in the exact proportions needed to synthesize new muscle. The post workout dosage pumps muscles with another wave or raw materials to keep muscles well fed for several hours and eliminates muscle soreness indicating accelerated recovery and accelerated muscle growth. The fantastic results from this trial did not surprise me as I have seen clients grow muscle like crazy Amino Loading with 100% MRH and Muscle SynthesisH for the better part of 10 years. However the huge increase in work capacity including the ability to add reps with sets that were already a high percentage of 5 rep max caught my eye leading to some experimentation of my own. Multi Set Growth Training (MSGT) is a form of strip set tactics using a high load for subsequent sets as it is vital to maintain both the tension and volume necessary for maximal growth stimulation. An Amino Loading group was able to use a weight 20% higher than normal for the second and third phases of the strip set thus stimulating a massive increase in muscle growth. The group using the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis experienced muscle growth at double the rates of the control group- This is how you will get your 15-20 lbs of muscle over the last three months of the year! You will start with the highest possible weight you can use for 5 perfectly executed reps- reduce the load 10% hit 2-3 reps- reduce the load an additional 10% and do 2-3 more reps to complete the set. Do not be afraid to fail assuming you have a training partner to spot you for safety. Push the limits each week by increasing loads and you will be shocked by the progress. In many cases when training clients in the gym I have to lie to them about the weight they will use for the next set so that they are not intimidated by the increase. After the fact when realizing what weights were used a client with 10 previous years of training experience told me he was now hitting sets of 5 with weights that would have crushed him only a few months ago when trying a single! The “I can do anything” mind set is critical to success- get your head right before you arrive at the gym so you can make the most of each training opportunity.

Consistent Amino Loading builds up the strategic Amino Acid Reserve Accelerating Fat Loss, Muscle Growth, Performance and Recovery. Dr. Serrano since increasing the frequency and amounts of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis I have put on 10 lbs of muscle and lost 4 lbs of body fat over the last 6 weeks based on the 7 site body comp caliper test. Before I was only using MR and MS pre/post workout a few times per week, why is there such a huge increase in progress? I did not change diet or training style over the 6 weeks. PS I also noticed my muscles feeling really hard and full as if I was carb loading. Why is that?- Consistency is the key-I have been screaming about the benefits from the Mountain Tops and some people are listening- You can pick them out easily as they are the ones with more muscle and less fat than everyone else. We have conducted several trials comparing the benefits of Amino Loading around workouts vs. around workouts and the addition of Amino Loading between meals. The second group makes more progress every time. Amino Acid Build Up Accelerates Muscle Recovery and Fat Burning. Our research indicates that Amino Loading with 100% MRH and Muscle SynthesisH around workouts and between meals leads to Muscle Accretion which is a build up of Amino Levels in the blood stream and Muscle Bellies. This increased availability of raw materials combined with an up tick in anabolic hormones such as testosterone is a powerful Muscle GROWING and Fat BURNING combination ensuring that excess food intake converts primarily to muscle and not body fat. Take advantage of Amino Loading between meals in addition to the workout time to accelerate your muscle growth time table. Building up the Strategic Amino Acid Reserve Many of the recent experiments have been based on improving body comp, but the huge improvements in strength/performance were impossible to ignore. The groups using a higher 100% MRH and Muscle SynthesisH dosage experienced big increases in reps per set as well as 1 rep max and the participants were all seasoned trainees with 5 years or more of training experience. We believe that a strategic build up of amino acids takes place within the muscle bellies when the right amounts of raw materials and ratios are consistently supplied to the muscles. Ratios of aminos are vital to promote optimal utilization and this took years of research including examining muscle biopsies to determine the exact profile of ingredient ratios easily utilized by the muscles. The proof came to light during countless trials with my patients who range from professional athletes to fitness enthusiasts. They all earned great progress- It was just a matter of tailoring the dosage protocols to their individual needs and goals. Major Performance Benefits Endurance athletes from all over the world have reported tremendous improvements in performance, breaking personal records, cycling, running and swimming. Experienced riders reported that their Century rides took less time to complete with a huge improvement in recovery time. In many training circles the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis Powder combo has replaced high sugar sports drinks. The strategic accumulation of aminos within the muscles acting as reserve supply fuels maximal efforts under the toughest of circumstances separating winners from losers. Stress lowering attributes of amino loading relieves pre competition anxiety and can improve mental focus forming a powerful body/mind advantage. The expanded ability to Weight train at higher thresholds of volume, intensity and frequency without counter productive overtraining are unmatched by any other supplement stack. One of the best compliments I have ever heard came from a local bodybuilder in his forties who said he could not get sore if he tried as his recovery is so fast when taking the 100 % MRH and Muscle SynthesisH . Increased quality of training for the reasons mentioned above puts anyone on the faster track for reaching their goals. Building Rock Hard Muscle Bellies Building up the Amino Reserve through consistent administration supports many benefits including accelerated growth, recovery, performance and an expansion of energy substrate within the muscles which will expand muscle bellies. The reserve allows additional aminos ingested around training to be used as a fuel source fueling huge improvements in performance while sparring materials vital for other functions. Between meals dosages are most efficient at refilling the muscle bellies. Trainees noticed a physique hardening and “full” looking muscle belies superior to the feeling one gets when carb loading before a body building show. As a result we have begun working on many pre contest loading protocols to optimize the physique for anything ranging from a body building show, photo shoots and important vacation. Consistency is the key as it takes time to not only build up the reserve but also to maintain optimal levels. The Hormonal Fat Loss Connection The fat burning mechanisms of Amino Acid loading are a mystery to most, but not to us. When taken before training 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel during exercise. The post workout dosage does an excellent job of lowering stress hormones associated with fat storage. A rapid increase of societal stress for several reasons has lead to chronically high stress hormones for many trainees which stimulate fat storage. Between meal dosages can not only keep stress hormones in check, but also reduce an anxiety and increase mental focus. In conclusion- Knowledge is not power, only knowledge properly applied is powerful. Work hard and smart utilizing a customized plan appropriate for your needs; Fat loss is rarely a one size fits all matter which is why you should contact scott@infinityfitness.comH to discuss your individual needs. The three most common traits that we see amongst those who are most successful are a sense of urgency to reach a set of goals, the ability to get right back on track when life knocks you off course and finally the ability to consistently execute a well designed routine with no room for excuses. See you at the beach! Email Scott@infinityfitness.com for a complementary copy of "20 Rapid Fat Loss Tips" Optimizing Metabolism for Permanent Physique Improvements Dr. Serrano and Scott I feel like I have to dump all of my nutrition strategies, I have been fluctuating between 12- 14% body fat for 2 years - 200 lbs at 5’10. Every time I put on some muscle it is lost during a fat loss phase and vice versa. How do I break into single digits permanently and put on 10 lbs of muscle in the next 12 weeks? Prioritize gaining MUSCLE. Every new pound of muscle burns calories 24x7 and the anabolic hormonal environment associated with muscle growth simultaneously supports rapid fat loss. Over the years I noticed that my clients with the highest lean body mass were able to maintain low body fat levels without a problem. Those lacking in muscle relative to their body frame will always struggle to keep body fat levels in check distracting their efforts from the bigger picture. Packing on 10 lbs of muscle will enable you to drop your body fat from 14 to 10% twice as fast using my customized plans based on client data I have collected over the last 10 years. You will find that with proper ab training and an increase in LBM that your six pack will be awesomely defined at 12%. Quite simply when the mid section is trained correctly the deep cuts create a leaner appearance. Get Rid of food Sensitivities and Metabolic Distractions You have the yo yo diet from hell focused too much on caloric intake. Instead of pointing out all of things you are doing wrong based on what you sent us here are the keys to success. Consume at least 3 to 4 solid food meals daily consisting of nutrient dense sources. Cleaning up the diet to get rid of food sensitivities is very important as the body cannot focus on gaining muscle/burning fat if it is constantly battling irritants from the diet. Digestion is negatively impacted when people consume foods that do not agree with them and as a result nutrient uptake is very poor starving the body of what it needs to improve. You can build an allergy/sensitivity to just about any food over time making rotating foods necessary to avoid problems. We have developed several techniques for identifying sources of problems, but this must be supervised closely by Scott for proper implementation. Macronutrient cycling plans involve rotating food sources on certain days in a simple format helping to prevent sensitivities. Gaining body fat during a lean body mass accumulation phase is a clear sign of over feeding the system with crap it does not need. Alpha Omega can help to prevent surges of insulin (fat storage hormone) when taken with meals. A combination of high insulin levels and excess nutrients is a potent fat storage combination. To guard against this we control the amounts of food and Amino Load between meals for a very low calorie nutrient burst. 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis contain an exact ratio of ingredients needed to synthesize new muscle which cannot be converted into stored body fat. As mentioned in previous columns hormones govern fat loss making macronutrient cycling one of the most productive tools available to achieve break-through results. Cycling the amounts of dietary fat, protein, and carbs in a strategic manner supports a metabolic, enzymatic and hormonal environment to get you to your goals faster!! Email Scott@infinityfitness.com for a complementary copy of the macronutrient cycling nutrition program! Leg Training Solutions for an Improved Physique Scott I cannot gain muscle or lose fat no matter what I do, I have a hard time executing leg movements correctly and am afraid to get injured using heavy weights. It seems my upper body will not improve any more and I have a feeling my lack of leg development is a factor. Nick Memphis Your conclusions are correct. Some clients come to me with upper body injuries in place that restrict training those areas during a recovery period and in that case more focus is placed on leg work. These clients have increased overall lean muscle mass in the upper body without doing a single bench, curl, pull up etc. How is this possible? The anabolic hormonal release caused by well designed lower body training stimulates total body growth and fat loss. 2-4 weeks of rest for the upper body to allow an injury to heal is needed to recover from extended bouts of over training or poor workout design that caused the injury in the first place. Remember training can stimulate muscles, but the recovery period is when growth can occur, but only if the conditions are optimal. Fixing Weak Links to Earn 10 NEW lbs of MUSCLE You must form a base of strength and function in order to train the lower body properly. I have developed a series of body weight routines to prepare clients for more advanced future lower body training. These drills not only improve muscular development, but also serve as a diagnostic tool to identify weaknesses which are the source of a high percentage of training injuries. Fix the weak links and you can squat like a champ, let the problem fester and you will never reach your full potential. The same holds true for upper body training as solving weaknesses enables clients to see huge jumps in strength and muscle mass in a matter of months in some cases outdoing progress of the previous few years! Short Exercise Session = Big Fat Loss Progress 10-15 minute body weight workouts produced some unintended benefits by reducing body fat levels, peaking daily energy and accelerating recovery. Executed anywhere in addition to weekly 3-4 standard 45 minute workouts at separate times, these intense bonus sessions elevate metabolic rate and can improve anabolic hormone levels despite being relatively short. The idea is not to duplicate the work done in the gym, but to work on different skills, ranges of motion and areas of weaknesses. Consider these short sessions as opportunity to Amino Load the Nutrient Super Highway for Rapid Physique Improvement Blood acts as the nutrient super highway for all muscles so training your legs for example surges blood to the muscle to deliver nutrients and carry out waste. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around these sessions ensures that the proper fuel sources are delivered to force the body into using more stored fat as fuel while saturating working muscles with vital raw materials needed for rapid growth. Clients were shocked to see recovery rates accelerate between weight workouts when doing the additional body weight sessions. I was not surprised as I knew the combination of blood pumping body weight work and Dr. Serrano’s abundance of strategically proportioned aminos would exceed expectations. 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis represent break-through technology utilizing rapid raw material delivery systems while sending signals to promote optimal hormonal conditions. Busting Stress- Peaking Energy and Crushing Cravings. Ever feel like Punching out your Co Worker? Put your anger to good use by getting in a short body weight session during your lunch break. This will keep energy levels high while improving your physique. A lack of activity during the day causing low energy is a catalyst for eating out of boredom or to spike energy levels. Instead of buy garbage from the vending machine- get up and move! Other opportunities are first thing in the am or right after the work day. Women especially must deal with intense cravings, over years of experimentation we found a brief exercise sessions surrounded by Amino Loading are the most effective way to avoid self- sabotaging food binges. 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis can lower stress levels responsible for fueling cravings while exercise releases “feel good” endorphins changing the entire mood landscape. Using Alpha Omega with meals also triggers sugar busting mechanisms while forcing fat cells to expel more stored material to be used as fuel.

So far I have lost 10 lbs of body fat and my gym performance is rapidly improving each week. Michael Tampa Manual assistance Training for Rapid Physique Improvement Scott I have put on 22 lbs of muscle while getting rid of 14 lbs of body fat over the last 6 months with your programs and Dr. Serrano’s supplements and I have developed a cult following of people copying my routines in the gym. I would like to pack more size on to my back and biceps. What is next? A job well done, we will implement some new tactics to pack on more muscle giving you the best Bis and back in the gym. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Your situation is a familiar one for my clients who have shadows following them around the gym. Quite simply with the dramatic improvements you have made people are going to try and steal your methods so they can achieve similar results. Who can blame them since most people in the gym make little progress without the right plan despite years of trying. Following such a successful run of gaining muscle and losing fat I need to throw in some new stimuli that will capitalize on the anabolic conditions while stimulating growth. The old model would be to add more work volume regardless of recovery capacity, but that is a broken philosophy for people not using tons of steroids. The average trainee simply stops a set when he can no longer lift the weight and for average results people can continue on that track. My clients will not settle for average results- they want freakishly fast progress which forces me to innovate! Exceptional results require a corresponding effort which must be made using the correct techniques to make the hard work pay off. The Manual Assistance Training Revolution for Rapid Muscle Growth Your eccentric strength or ability to lower weights is much higher than your capacity to lift making the lifting phase the weak link. We changed the muscle game yet again in our muscle laboratory- The Gym! Combine The Manual Assistance System, Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis and Mega Muscle Nutrition plan below to pack on 10 lbs of rock hard muscle in 8 weeks while dropping more fat. Unilateral (one limb at a time) exercise allow for you to place focus on one limb and gain assistance from the other, opening up new opportunities for growth. Let’s take the kneeling unilateral high pulley cable curl for example. Go to failure for 3-4 reps with the left arm and then use the right arm to assist the working limb by applying force to the wrist. You reach the contraction point on top of the movement when the pinky is even with the ear. Let the working limb lower the weight without any help and repeat for 3-4 reps using just enough assistance to complete the rep. I typically prefer a variety of pull ups to cable movements for vertical pulling, but in this case the cables are needed. One advantage of training pulling movements unilaterally is the ability to take the muscles through a greater range of motion. A lat pull down movement must stop at the chest while a single handle grip can go down much farther with the goal being to take the elbow down to the bottom of the rib cage for a 2 sec pause. Strategic pausing on top and bottom of pulling movements is vital for optimizing back development and one of the quickest methods for expanding lat width. Apply the same manual assistance techniques for rapid growth stimulation. The Anabolic Beverage of Choice- 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis Your back and biceps will be screaming at you during the workout due to the high level of muscle fiber stimulation. You must capitalize on the growth opportunity and load the muscles with the desired building blocks within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before, during and immediately after training. The high level of stress inflicted on the muscles will kick up lactic acid levels very quickly and during our trials the group Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis were able to perform more work volume at a higher average load as the strategic blend of aminos keeps lactic acid levels in check while provide a powerful alternative energy source for the muscles. Recovery must be your top priority even before the training session starts. My clients start sipping on their Anabolic Beverage of Choice 30 min before training, during and immediately after. 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis which are the unrivaled amino acid power houses taken before, during and after training by anyone serious about gaining muscle and improving strength.

Following 12 weeks of dieting progress has really stalled and following a drop in performance for the past couple weeks I feel like I am losing muscle. I would like to add 10 lbs of muscle and have about 10 lbs of fat to lose before hitting my summer goals so what do I do? It is time to pack on some muscle! By default an increase in muscle mass while keeping body fat levels stable improves your lean to fat mass ratio on paper and this also shows up in the mirror. Take two identical twins that started off with same lean body mass and body fat %, one gets to 10% while losing 10 lbs of muscle. The other gains 10 lbs of muscle and achieves 12% body fat. The guy at 12% will have well defined upper abs and look much better than his deflated brother. Trainees with higher levels of lean body mass have a much easier time getting below 10% body fat and staying there since an extra 10-20 lbs of muscle burns a significant amount of calories 24x7. Your drop in strength and muscle mass is a clear indication that you need to change the focus ASAP to prevent any more damage which may be due to an increase in catabolic hormones associated with a long period of caloric deficit. New clients show up at our door frequently in this status and we have built a specialty of helping the really tough cases. A lean body mass accumulation phase of 8-12 weeks will revive metabolism and optimize hormones so that you can take on another fat loss phase. However play your cards right and you can decrease body fat significantly while increase your muscle mass. Do Not Go Carb Crazy The use of low carb diets for fat loss is well justified based on the results they can produce, but keep in mind that this restriction makes you more sensitive to carb intake for a period of time. Do not buy into the theory that massive amounts of high glycemic index carbs are needed to gain lean body mass, this tactic is the cause behind the nutrient spill over that easily converts to stored fat. My clients avoiding gaining body fat while increasing muscle by using a gradual increase of total food intake and of cycling of macronutrients. Manipulating macronutrients % can support beneficial hormonal, metabolic and enzymatic changes needed to improve body composition. The addition of Alpha Omega essential fatty acid complex can help with insulin sensitivity and prevents an increase in size and volume of fat cells. You can get a copy of our highly effective Mega Muscle Nutrition Program absolutely free by emailing scott@infinityfitness.com Post workout Nutrition Rules Rewritten Optimizing insulin levels post workout is the key to supporting the rapid transport of materials to hungry muscles. The ratios I have developed during years of patient trials within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis help to not only optimize the hormonal environment but also provide muscles with the ideal building blocks needed for developing new muscle. Speed of delivery is critical post workout to replenish working muscles and the proprietary blend of aminos bypasses digestive barriers to get to the necessary locations within minutes. Packed Full of Nutrients with Little Calories Another Muscle Growing discovery came when Amino Loading with the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis between meals. Yes you can over load the system with food to accelerate growth, but the left over’s will manifest into body fat. Initially we used Amino Loading between meals to support fat loss and anti catabolic purposes, but we discovered that a high dosage between meals lead to huge increases in muscle mass. Why? The MR and Muscle Synthesis have little caloric value while packing an anabolic punch full of the vital raw materials vital for new muscle growth. Tired of busting your ass for only average results?

Eliminating Belly Fat for a Great Set of Abs Shutting Off Fat Storage Receptors for Single Digit Body Fat % Dr. Serrano so much of the information about nutrition is geared towards people with high body fat levels. I am trying to go from 16% to 8%, how do you structure a plan for someone who is already pretty lean with body fat centralized in the mid section? You are correct different tactics must be used for someone trying to break into the single digits, similar principles apply for anyone trying to lose body fat, but we have protocols perfect for what you are aiming to do. As you get leaner both metabolic and hormonal conditions change, at first progress comes easy this is why you see obese people shed weight so quickly. We have not changed much genetically for 10,000 years and back then starvation was more prevalent. Your body responds to a consistent period of low food intake by jacking up cortisol and other fat storage hormones while lowering metabolism to keep fat as long as possible- preserving survival. This fat storing hormonal cascade activates fat storage receptors which are focused in the mid section for men and legs for women. You can do everything “right” but if the fat storage receptors are activated by storage hormones- you will not succeed. Other factors including poor sleep, bad nutrition choices, combined with elevated stress levels negatively impact insulin sensitivity resulting in higher circulating levels of this powerful fat storage hormone. The correct plan can shut off these receptors- two powerful tools are Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce. Alpha Omega forces the fat cells to mobilize more stored fat as fuel instead of acting as vacuum cleaners for available material. The proprietary essential fatty acid matrix within the Alpha Omega along with proper diet and exercise can prevent highly problematic insulin surges. Do you ever feel despite your hard work that the fat is not burning off fast enough? You may be doing everything you believe to be right and working very hard, but actually supporting conditions that increase body fat accumulation. High stress levels arising from a lack of progress and related frustrations increases the depth of the problem. We get the tough cases and have built many protocols to tackle these problems, if you are not satisfied with your results it is time for a change in strategy- the Rapid Abs Nutrition Plan. Deactivating Fat Storage Receptors I became interested in hormones many years ago as they govern all body comp and performance progress. Following the evaluation of tens of thousands of blood test results I was able to determine the optimal ratios of hormones to support maximum fat burning, and that was the easy part. Developing a formula to create these optimal hormonal changes was the big challenge. Along with proper nutrition, exercise and life style management Fat Reduce has consistently improved the fat loss fortunes of trainees wanting to get to single digit body fat with a great set of abs. We conducted a 30 day trial a few years ago which demonstrated an average increase of over 400 calories in daily expenditure and follow up blood work revealed great improvements. Most importantly the participants lost a tremendous amount of body fat and some of these trial participants had been struggling for years. Fat Reduce PM was designed to lower stress levels in the evening to support an easy transition into a deep level of sleep and to accelerate fat burning. Do not underestimate the importance of restful sleep which is vital for hormonal recuperation. Clients tell us within a week they wake up feeling well rested with greatly improved daily energy. Stoking The Metabolic Fire The Rapid Abs Nutrition plan makes use of several cutting edge techniques and is the perfect solution for anyone trying to get lean- FAST. A recent trial resulted in an average loss of 10lbs of body fat and 5 lbs increase in muscle over 30 days! The positive impact of macronutrient cycling is well documented from prior articles and trials. Manipulating food choices to force the body into burning more stored fat as fuel was established early on; however we were very surprised to see big increases in new muscle mass from the trial participants. We learned that manipulating the macronutrient profiles enables the body to use protein more efficiently as building blocks for new muscle while shifting to stored fat as a primary fuel source. Adding Metabolic Fire Days to the mix stepped up progress by another 10% when done once every 14 days. This single relatively low calorie day enables the body to greatly accelerate fat burning without triggering a negative hormonal response. A high dosage of Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis on this day protects muscle while enhancing fat burning through other pathways. Amino Loading around workouts and through the day accelerates fat burning by consistently sending message to the brain that large amounts of food have been consumed; forcing metabolic rate to accelerate through the worth with nothing to burn except stored fat. The development of the Rapid Abs Nutrition program was highly complicated, but the implementation is not, email Scott@infinityfitness.com for your free copy. Shredding Fat and Packing on Muscle with the Anabolic Edge A friend dropped 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle over 3 months with your customized programs and I am upset that I did not start back then, My chest and tris are lousy. Sometimes I feel lost in the gym and very frustrated. How can you help? Yes I can give you a clear map to achieving those goals in a reasonable time period and end the feelings of frustration by breaking plateaus ASAP. Nothing is more frustrating than working hard and not getting the results you demand. Clearly you are very disappointed in your lack of progress; you must take steps to regain your Anabolic Edge. Quite simply male dominant anabolic hormones are impacted by your attitude and this is a clear reflection of your confidence in a training plan. Studies show that men watching their favorite team succeed increases test levels and experience big drops when they lose. Compare this situation to how you approach training- know that your program is right for you and your hormones will respond favorable. The take no prisoners attitude can boost Testosterone levels through the roof accelerating your rate of progress dramatically. Stimulating Muscle Fibers for Fat Loss and Muscle Growth Considering your goals we are going to pack in a HUGE volume of work into a short period of time to support rapid fat burning and stimulation of muscle fibers. Shred sets as I like to call them are prefect your situation and gained this title from clients who reached shredded condition very quickly. The pure ferocity of these workouts will kick up lactic acid which is a pre cursor to the highly potent fat burning- GH. Each set will consist of three parts with progressively lower loads and no rest in between phases. Start with the heaviest load you can handle for 4 reps, cut the load by 25% for 6 reps and reduce again by 25% for the third phase of the set By the time you reach the third phase of the set you will be very fatigued and you must push on for as many reps as possible (AMRP) with proper form, pending your muscle fiber dominance and conditioning this could range from 5-15 reps. Shred sets will stimulate a wide range of muscle fibers giving you the opportunity to pump in new raw materials laying the foundation for accelerated growth. Ever since the start of medical school I studied muscle biopsies for years to learn not only how the fibers worked, but what nutrient profiles will support faster recuperation into a larger form. I cannot tell you exactly what I discovered as those are closely guarded secrets, but this data was used to build the specific ratios of amino acids only found within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. You must Amino Load around Shred Sets to elevate performance and to bolster recovery. Otherwise you will be sore that you will only be able to eat through a straw since your upper body will be so depleted from training. Training Chest and Tris together can work well when using the correct exercises. The close grip BB press is great as it activates both muscle groupings, but you will need a spotter to help you adjust the loads. Use a grip slightly wider than shoulder width and your elbows should track closely to the body which helps to emphasize the tris. Shred Sets Sets Reps Tempo Rest A1.

Opening up the Knowledge treasury for America Dr. Serrano with Summer right around the corner I do not want to be hiding the whole time while everyone else is at the beach. I am not fat by any means, but can never get the six pack. I have tried so many times and I feel like there is nothing else I can do, help! You must take responsibility for your own success by taking the right action. I have been a practicing physician for over 20 years specializing in all matters related to body composition and I have never found anyone who magically loses a significant amount of body fat without a sustained effort. Here is the key which differentiates those who are successful and those who are still fat! The PLAN! The correct plan structure impacts not only the rate of progress but the ability of the person to comfortably stay on the program for an extended period of time necessary to destroy stubborn fat pockets that are the last to go. 1,000,000 Pounds of Fat Lost The Zero Tolerance Plan contains the most highly effective fat loss protocols I have developed to date. Since inception these concepts have supported over 1,000,000 pounds of fat lost and that number grows daily. Over the last couple years we have been experimenting with many refinements to improve the rate of success- and now the ZTP 2.0™ is available to you absolutely free!

ZTP 2.0 is extremely advanced, yet simple to follow. Detailed instructions and sample meal plans guide you every step of the way addressing all of the common pit falls associated with fat loss. The program changes every 2 weeks, preventing progress plateaus and boredom. email Scott@infinityfitness.com for your free copy of ZTP 2.0™. Food is the most powerful drug on this earth; nothing has a greater impact on your health in my opinion. Striking the right balance of food and supplements is the key to success. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis between meals mimics many actions of food while providing vital raw materials for muscle repair. All foods contain certain amino acid ratios and they act as signal carriers to the brain impacting several functions including mood, mental cognition and metabolic acceleration. Over 10 years of patient trials helped me discover the proprietary balance of amino acids within the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis that can stimulate metabolism into fat burning over drive. Since the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis have little caloric value the only material available for a raging metabolism is stored fat! People Amino Loading through the day report reduced stress levels, better mental focus and an over all sense of well being. Feeling good leads to better food choices and a higher frequency of quality exercise! Taken Pre and Post workout Amino Loading forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel while sparing muscle during training to ensure your calorie burning machine is working at full speed 24x7. Food; as great as it is has flaws! Any successful fat loss effort must control the choices, combination and amounts. Nothing throws a fat loss plan off course faster than late night snacking. You can prevent midnight runs to the fridge by taking a Get Lean Protein shake at night a couple hours before bed. I developed this unique blend of proteins to be easy on the digestive system while being very filling. Colostrum and Glycine accelerate the repair process during the sleep cycle while supporting fat burning. Make your Fat Cells Kick out Stored Fat Fat cells are storage dumps of stored energy, unfortunately this reserve builds up to be much larger than nature intended due to the negative impact of trans fats and other chemicals which retard fat cell function. As a result fat cells are great at sucking up material and expanding, but lose their ability to kick out stored material to be used as fuel. This recipe is the reason for your fat bulging disasters in the love handles and other sensitive areas. Alpha Omega contains the specific ratio of ingredients needed to revive optimal fat cell function so that your body can purge the materials filling your trouble spot fat pockets. IN addition to being a powerful craving stopping device, Alpha Omega interferes with the entire fat storage process making it very difficult for the body to make excess energy into body fat.

Muscle Fiber Target Training Scott I witnessed your impressive work many times as I know several of your clients who have gained what I thought were unrealistic amounts of muscle in 12 week periods. I found it amazing that you designed routines that were vastly different for each person even though they had the same goals. I am desperate to put some size on my arms- what is my best chance to do it fast? The power of a customized program is often under estimated as I regularly take clients from good levels of condition to the elite status they have been chasing for years. There are many elements that differentiate you from other trainees, but perhaps none more important than identifying what specific methods work for your unique needs. Quite simply your muscles will respond much differently than someone else so performing certain tests will help us determine what is the best approach. Once I help a client figure out how to introduce the appropriate stimuli for their needs- it is only a matter of time before body fat disappears and muscles grow faster than nature intended! The Muscle Fiber Target training example below represents just the tip of the iceberg in this new realm of training. Many versions have sprouted out of my laboratory of muscle- THE GYM using variations in rep ranges, grip, tempo, exercise selection and more. Unlock your potential and Contact Scott for your customized Key to SUCCESS. The longer you have been training the more important program design becomes as it takes more than just hitting body parts hard to make them grow as muscles become resistant to simple tear down tactics. Forget about trying to rip apart your muscles- focus on stimulating the fibers with the greatest potential for growth! Optimal stimulation occurs when you use progressively higher loads each week for the right number of sets based on recovery conditions. Working within these parameters optimizes the anabolic hormone response. Remember hormones govern the repair process. Finding the Best Weight Load for every workout with ID sets In my experience most trainees venture a guess as to what the best load would be for a given exercise when starting a new routine. Human nature leads most to underestimate their strength levels making the weight lower than needed for the best results. When your goals are aggressive you cannot afford to waste a single workout. ID sets get rid of the guess work and give us hard facts. Every week following a warm up you will pick a load that you think you can do for 4 reps using an 8 second negative, rest 2 minutes and repeat until you identify the highest possible load. Sip on your 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis during the rest period to load muscles the necessary fuel vital for maximal strength and repair. The ID set will determine your weight for the 3 work sets using a 4 second negative for as many reps as possible (AMRP). Do not be afraid to fail during a set as long as safety is not an issue- applying your greatest possible effort each set is crucial if you want to pack on new muscle. Your loads for the ID sets will likely increase significantly each week. Test subjects were often shocked by how many reps they were able to crank out using previously untested weight loads. Weight ID Sets Sets Reps Tempo Rest A1.Seated DB curl 2-3 4 8-1-1-0 120 A2. Lying DB Skull crusher 2-3 4 8-1-1-0 120 Work Sets Seated DB curl 2-3 AMRP 2-1-1-0 75 Lying DB Skull crusher 2-3 AMRP 2-1-1-0 75 AMRP= As many reps as possible You will never scratch the surface of your potential without pushing the limits. During our test trials the control group not using the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis not finish all of the work sets due to fatigue and reported intense post workout soreness. The Amino Loading group reported only moderate soreness, increased loads at a higher rate each week and gained more muscle! The combination of heavy loading and extreme efforts makes recovery just as important as the training session. Amino Loading before and after training with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis rapidly deliver the necessary fuel to enable Muscles to go beyond the normal range of effort. These extra reps with maximal loading are the difference between average and great results. Dominate the Weight! Pump up my Chest and Back while Shrinking My Gut! Scott I have been an agent in the modeling business for 20 years and your work is worth every penny. Our mutual client “Matt” has secured several new deals now that you helped him improve his physique. As you know I am stressed to the max with 3 kids, over 40 with a ton of training experience, but just a lack of direction. What can we do to pump up my chest and back while shrinking my gut! Your situation is different than “Matt” as he is younger and has less stress- you must work not only hard, but also smart to achieve your goals. Fat Loss and muscle growth are not merely dictated by breaking down muscles and controlling caloric levels. You must use the right training, nutrition and supplementation tactics to naturally manipulate the hormones that govern progress. You have probably heard the phrase a million times “I need to lose 10 pounds” that is easy, I build customized programs to help my clients Lose 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle in a short span of time. I helped thousands do it and you reading this right now could be next! Have you ever seen a bull riding event? The rider is holding on for dear life as the raging 2,000lb bull kicks to shake off the rider, in that sport holding on for just 8 seconds is nearly miraculous. You will control the eccentric lowering phase of the last rep of each set for the most challenging yet highly productive 8 seconds of your training life. Research and my personal experience training thousands of clients prove your ability to lift weights fails long before your capacity to lower a load under control. The previous reps of the set leading you to near muscle failure allows for the inflicting of tremendous muscle damage during the last extended lowering rep. The maximal damage is only a productive opportunity if the right fuel is available for the muscles to rebuild; otherwise muscle wasting will occur! Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before, during and after training sets the stage for accelerated growth and recovery by flooding the blood stream with the specific amino acids needed to form new rock hard muscle! These amino acid ratios were not chose at random! Dr. Serrano’s proprietary amino blends developed during countless patient trials are carried immediately to working muscles which demand maximal blood flow during training to satisfy energy needs. Unlike protein shakes and other imitation formulas- The 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis bypass digestion delays ensuring immediate raw material delivery when you need it most! I implemented Extended Eccentric Training (EET) recently with a client at a Dallas area gym and developed quite the following of imitators during the workout. It was as if I was being followed by a dozen bad mimes! Little did they know the kind of challenge that this type of training would present and I got a call from the gym manager a couple weeks later saying those who were “stealing” personal training by copying our sessions were so sore they could not train for two weeks! If soreness is any indication of muscle stimulation- EET earns 10 out of 10. To give you an idea of the Recovery Power of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis my clients Amino Load around training and find that they are sore for 1.5-2 days tops with EET Training. That is saving you 12 days of pain not to mention the lost training time! EET creates many hormonal advantages supporting both muscle growth and fat loss by sending the right signals to the brain. Over the last 10 years analyzing client data I have learned that shorter workouts achieving the muscle stimulation required maximizes the anabolic response to training. Quite simply the body increases beneficial anabolic hormones when training, but also begins to raise counter productive catabolic hormones at the 30-50 minute mark pending many individual recovery factors. My clients use a few feedback measures to help me determine the optimal training session length for their needs. Furthermore the use of extended eccentric can lead to huge increases in GH and testosterone in comparison to other training routines. “Scott I have never felt stronger in my entire life than right now, your routines are awesome and I am never sore!

Conquering Cravings with the Zero Tolerance Fat Loss Plan Dr. Serrano I am not looking or feeling good these days and I am desperate to lose body fat and increase muscle. My diet is bad for a variety of reasons, but I just cannot stay away from the high carb/sugar choices. I have seen your Zero Tolerance Plan transform several people, but wonder if I can stick with it. There is no substitute for good old fashion discipline, but there are connections between what goes in the brain and why people experience strong cravings to eat certain foods. Serotonin improves mood and can be low for a variety of reasons. This brain chemical is rapidly increased by foods high in carbohydrates which can interfere with fat loss. The subconscious picks up on this and can cause an uncontrollable binge as a way of self medicating. Women usually suffer more than men in this regard especially during the cycle. Battling with cravings and subsequent cheating is a sign your plan is not well put together. You can stop the vicious cycle by eating and supplementing correctly during the day. Research and my experience with thousands of patients supports my theory that Muscle Synthesis and Alpha Omega may help avoid serotonin deficits, thus making it much easier to stick with a plan. 100% MR can keep you energized by stabilizing blood sugar levels (they regulate energy) and providing a powerful fuel source throughout the day. Without going into a long scientific explanation- Amino Loading and Alpha Omega help the brain generate what it needs! Using the right exercise routines can create a huge increase of endorphins which improve both mood and energy. Many trainees with good intentions over train unintentionally causing more problems. If you are not feeling great after your workout for several hours- something is wrong! I suggest some clients train a couple times per day using short sessions just for the mood enhancing effects. We review thousands of meal plans each year along with detailed client histories and many of the same mistakes keep coming up. If you have failed to make significant progress with methods used before then a drastic change is needed are you can expect the same poor results. Why waste your time and money on methods that do not work? Hear are some clues- the nutrition plan just like training must also be changed strategically to avoid metabolic staleness every 4-6 weeks. Macronutrient cycling is one of the greatest nutrition discoveries over the last 25 years. Changing the macronutrient amounts forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel by changing metabolic patterns and increasing fat burning enzymes. You can find solutions to these problems and many others by contacting Scott@infinityfitness.com. We have revised the highly successful Zero Tolerance Fat Loss plan to include many new fat busting tools that are easily applied. We even built in some cheat meals a couple times a month that when done correctly can actually increase the rates of fat burning. Over the years we have heard every excuse imaginable and this program includes tools to crush them all ranging from hunger, low energy, sticking points- you name it- we have a solution! Yes the supplements that I have designed do have a cost associated with them, but I promise you that you get what you pay for! I stand behind their effectiveness 100% as I have seen them work with thousands of cases. The best raw materials cost more money and I will not settle for anything less. No gimmicks just results! Can you place a price on achieving the body and energy levels of your dreams? The $2,000 Arm Growth Challenge By Scott H.
Mendelson and Eric Serrano MD You come highly recommended from three associates who made great improvements over the last few months as I watched the parade go by. I will give you $2,000 if you can help me put 2 inches on to my arms in 12 weeks. Bernie St Louis Ok write the check! If your determination matches your financial commitment I am sure we will have no problem achieving that goal after reviewing all of your personal training details you have sent me from the consultation questionnaire this morning. The Multi Grip Stimulation Training system has enabled 14 of my clients during the last 6 months to pack on 2 inches on to their arms while the average total body growth was 13.5 lbs with a 3.2% in body fat in a 12 week period. In your case as someone who has been training for more than 5 years fixing both strength and structural deficiencies is the key to kick starting growth. The issues we must address are similar to what I see often amongst new clients, but no case is exactly the same requiring a customized approach for the best results. Programs change at least every 4 weeks based on client feedback and progress. Achieving your goals will require a high volume of intense training to stimulate growth and you must accomplish this with relatively short workouts to avoid over training and naturally maximize your natural anabolic hormone levels. Muscle Failure is a relative term; a trainee may begin to fail when using a certain exercise grip due to the onset of fatigue; however a change in grip can turn the tide in the positive direction by altering leverages and recruitment patterns allowing you to continue the set. Multi Grip Stimulation Training involves a series of sets put together to flip the strength curve upside down enabling you to tap into a greater percentage of your muscle fibers which sets the table for rapid growth. For example start with 5-7 reps of a seated db curl using a traditional supinated grip, as you approach 7 reps and perceive failure switch to a hammer grip which is a much stronger option for 90% of trainees allowing you to move on with the set for 5-7 more reps all the while inflicting maximal damage to your biceps and forearms. This strategic order of training excites the nervous system and boosts strength allowing you to pack in more productive work. On paper workouts seem easy enough to execute, but keep in mind that a small increase in your training production will result in dramatic Muscle Mass increases. You must push the limits and in order to do this the right fuel must be present for muscles to not only maximally contract throughout the set, but also to accelerate recovery rates so you can repeat high efforts several times during your training session. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around workouts and between meals builds an abundance of super fuel within the muscle bellies enabling trainees to get the most out of their workouts. Remember trashing your muscles is the easy part and providing the correct proportions of amino acids which are nature’s perfect muscle building material will guarantee your success. “I formulated the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to be rapidly utilized by muscles and I also discovered specific amino acid ratios which assist with new muscle growth immediately” “My research is done with real world people just like you- I have the most muscular medical practice patients on Earth from proper diet, training and supplementation!” Eric Serrano MD Multi Grip Stimulation Training- Unlock your Potential Sets Reps Rest A1.

Customized Consult Client Reader Mail Training and Eating the Right Way Produces Results For years I was doing it all wrong, training too much with marathon weight training sessions, my thinking was working hard and long was good, but now I train for less time, always under and hour, but the intensity is much higher and results are far better. I had nagging pains for years in my shoulders, elbows, wrists and knees. All gone now! The change in training strategy Scott put in place with special exercises helped to balance me out, I did not realize how far I had put things out of balance with the “expert” routines I was pulling out of magazines and picking up from local trainers. Turns out those programs I picked in bits and pieces along with my own self sabotage made things much worse. To make a long story short, the consults with Scott have been a great investment, I just focus on getting the routines done and I feel great. For the first time in years I am eager to train and the results are far better than ever before. Since starting 6 months ago I have gone for 18% body fat to 12% while putting on 11 lbs of muscle. Not bad for my age 42! Michael L Cedar Rapids IA Endurance Athletes Catching on To Amino Loading I have been in the endurance field for a long time doing marathons, triathlons, biathlons, and so on. For years my greatest exposure to supplements was some sports drinks and the occasional free bar sample I picked up a race. I wish I would have applied what I know now 5 years ago. Since the start of 08 I have been using the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis religiously before and after every endurance and weight training workout. The results speak for themselves as I have beaten personal best race times in several events this year so far and this is highly significant since many of these records were in place for 3 years or more! During intense training periods I spent most of my time feeling like a zombie and never understood why. I would sleep 9-10 hours, but still could never feel rested and I was always sore. A fellow endurance athlete who also happens to be a sports medicine doctor told me that I was overtraining and should call Scott for a customized supplement program. I was very surprised that when I called at 10 pm eastern planning on leaving a message that Scott Answered the phone himself and spent 30+ minutes on the phone answering my questions and then promptly emailed me his suggested supplement program. Within a month I felt much better, energy improved and so did training progress. During the last three months I added Alpha Omega to the routine and my joints are feeling better than ever which is important being that I want to continue running without all of my joints aching. Scott I appreciate your personal attention and dedication to my success! Lenny M Miami 9/29/08 Best Protein Source Before Training! Dr. Serrano I train first thing in the am and have tried eating just about every combination of food and protein powder, but everything leaves me lethargic or I cannot digest in time for the workout, what do you suggest eating first thing in the am before the workout to help with fat burning and muscle growth? The longer you go without food all things being equal the lower your blood sugar levels which have a big impact on energy. Obviously low energy makes training difficult especially following the overnight fast which can also create an increase in muscle wasting hormones which are catalysts for fat accumulation. There is a great deal of information out there touting training first thing in the am on an empty stomach for improved rates of fat loss, after testing this theory many times I found that much better results were earned when using the right nutrients before training. Following recent trials the optimal timing for fat burning and muscle growth is to use Get Lean Protein 60 minutes before exercise which provides a high impact of nutrients with a very low caloric burden. The 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis do a great job of optimizing the hormonal environment and providing raw materials for elevated performance, new muscle growth all while forcing the body to use more stored fat as fuel during exercise when taken 30 min before training and immediately after. 30 min post training take another dose of Get Lean Protein which will deliver a separate flight of nutrients through a different pathway. Test groups using this exact order and dosages based on body weight lost 30% more body fat than the control groups who ate nothing before training first thing in the am. Get Lean Protein has several advantages as the combination of ingredients keeps energy levels steady, eliminates hunger and is easily digestible ensuring that you will have no stomach upset. Colostrum and Glycine contained within the Get Lean have a HUGE impact on performance, body composition and recovery as well. Studies also show that a high intake of dietary fiber at night results in less hunger during the following morning which is one reason why we included a special fiber source. Taking a GL shake 1-2 hours before bed will be very helpful; setting the table for energy needs the following day. Try mixing solid food sources with get lean before training especially if gaining lean muscle is your top priority, you will have to identify food sources that settle well at these times and Scott has a system that his consult clients have used with great success to pin point food allergies. I would also suggest using the Alpha Omega Essential fatty acid complex with the Get Lean Protein to improve body comp, joint health and to optimize energy levels for training Following the release of Get Lean in July I was shocked by how quickly word spread amongst trainees across the country and the world for that matter, we ran out of stock for a while, but more was made to cover surging demand.

Break Through Protein Stops Bloating and Stimulates Muscle Dr. Serrano a friend of mine got his hands on your new protein product samples and he says it actually made his stomach feel better and got rid of bloating-now his abs are ripped, who do I have to kill to get some for myself? My cell phone mailbox has been full for weeks “Get Lean Protein”; people who I have not heard from in years are calling me for samples based on what they have heard from members of the first trial group who experienced big improvements! I finalized a revolutionary protein blend that ensures optimal absorption without bloating, cramping, gas while optimizing fat burning, performance and muscle growth. The combination of 4 hypoallergenic proteins along with prebiotic and dietary fiber components can improve the amount of good stomach bacteria vital for nutrient uptake 24/7. The digestive problems encountered by a majority of people using shakes indicate poor nutrient absorption related to allergies and protein intolerances. Let’s make this very simple, the more quality nutrients your body can utilize the better your physique will be. Eat all of the quality food you want, but if your gut is not working properly much of it will go to waste or build up in your intestines to give you that undesirable bloated look. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis is always going to be the solid gold standard before and immediately after training. Amino Loading does a great job of optimizing the hormonal environment to support increased utilization of fat as fuel during exercise while simultaneously providing raw materials for both energy and new muscle growth. Get Lean Protein uses a completely different pathway to augment the raw material pool- providing a second title wave of nutrients 30-40 minutes following training. The 4 different proteins along with other special ingredients deliver rapid and slowly released nutrients to supply a sustained raw material flow throughout the critical couple hours following training. I am not going to provide many details about the ingredients until the product is ready to go for the public in August as I am tired of other companies trying to copy my formulas. The first 500 units will hit in July but are already sold! Many of the ingredients are not used in any of the popular proteins on the market largely due to the lack of knowledge about their functions and the high cost of quality raw materials. The ingredient ratios took me a few years to figure out via human trials, but better late than never. My goal was not create a meal replacement, but rather a nutrient enhancer that can be used along with food while actually creating an impact on the bottom line. This is not a taste driven convenience item, but rather a powerful body comp changing tool. I suppose I would make a ton of money telling people they should consume exclusively shakes instead of food, but I have seen that strategy work over the years and I refuse to feed people lies. Using Get Lean Protein along with a meal can actually improve the uptake of all of the food sources due to the positive impact on digestion. Eating a combination of proteins such as beef and fish in the same sitting offers many advantages due to the variety of nutrients that can be presented. There are times between meals when amino loading and Get Lean are appropriate, but make sure to get at least 3-4 solid food meals per day. The sleep phase is a unique opportunity to send fat burning and muscle growing signals to the brain which can create a favorable hormonal release. Feedback on the taste of Get Lean Protein is excellent and it contains 0 sugar, if you are needing to bulk up the carb content try adding some honey to the Get Lean for your post workout drink. A special amino acid in the formula is protein sparring allowing other ingredients to be used for rapid muscle repair during sleep. Added dietary fiber supports prolonged nutrient delivery and based on many studies actually reduces hunger at night and the next morning. People thought I had liposuction! "Scott I was honored to be part of the Project X test trial which I know understand will be called Get Lean Protein, well the name holds true. For years I have had terrible bloating problems when using any shake to supplement my protein intake. I have developed sensitivities to most of the common ingredients in protein drinks such as whey, casein, even soy. Even with a very low body fat level I never looked quite lean enough because of bloating and I was very sluggish at times for no good reason. Following a switch to the Get Lean for a month all of the bloating was gone and man was I looking ripped. People who I see at the pool each week thought I had liposuction because there was such a dramatic difference in the look of my abs in only a couple of weeks. Without any other changes I also put on 4 lbs of muscle! Thanks Scott Tony L July 14 2008 Watch the Get Lean Protein Video Lecture part 1 by creator Dr. Eric Serrano MD. A revolutionary approach to protein supplementation. Part 2 and Part 3 Intense Leg Training to Support Upper Body Growth! Scott you literally changed the life of a friend of mine (Tom T) by helping him get to 210 at 8%- I want to be your next project- my progress has been very poor recently and I cannot help but to think it is related to my less than stellar effort when it comes to leg training. I run into this often with new clients who can bench a ton and do pull ups until the cows come home, but cannot squat or deadlift appropriate amounts for their experience level and lean body weight. These deficits set off numerous alarms within the brain to shut down upper body growth as you cannot efficiently function as a top heavy machine. Imagine Arnold’s upper body matched with the legs of your local male yoga instructor- something is wrong with that picture- the brain will not let it happen as the top heavy mass would crush the legs! Now also consider that movements involving a great deal of musculature burn more calories, stimulate more muscle growth and activate a greater anabolic hormone release in comparison to smaller isolation movements. You can drive up your testosterone levels just by squatting and deadlifting correctly. I have seen dozens of clients add 10 lbs of lean body weight within 8 weeks or less with the major change being a new training strategy from me of course along with good old fashion intensity when training legs! The squat and deadlift are the kings of lower body training, but I cringe at the form I witness in gyms across this country. Specific weaknesses are a big part of the form problems, without the right foundation you can never execute lower body compound movements well which over the long term will limit your potential. I assign unilateral exercises meaning one leg at a time and this is done to enable each leg to fire efficiently on its own improving the collective strength of both legs when used together. In a majority of situations one leg will be 10-20% stronger than the other without corrective action. You will utilize a true drop set by ditching dbs during exercises to accommodate fatigue levels and maintain proper form. Taking the sets beyond the typical failure point allows for tremendous muscle fiber recruitment, but this comes at metabolic cost. You need to provide a large flow of raw materials by Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis before and after training or be prepared to deal with soreness you never thought possible. Take 4-6 scoops of Get Lean Protein 1 hour before training and 30 min after amino loading post training for accelerated recovery and body comp improvements. Every few months a smart ass does one of my routines without Amino Loading and screams at me for not warning him about the difficulty, where here is your warning! Amino Loading will provide the fuel needed to not only survive the workouts, but the perfectly proportioned raw materials will help muscles thrive and grow.

Are you desperate to add 10 lbs of rock hard muscle or shed 50 lbs of ugly fat? You have questions. We have answers! (614 868 7521). scott@infinityfitness.com Build More Muscle and Lose more Fat While eliminating Shoulder Pain! Scott I have been training my chest and shoulders with no mercy, but all I am getting is shoulder pain. What can I do to increase my size up top to look my best at the pool? Eddie T Minneapolis You would think we were running a shoulder pain clinic with all of the new patients that showed up for help with identical problems to yours, over the last year so we decided to run some trials. During our experiments clients made tremendous body composition improvements, literally a muscle growth explosion so we knew we were on to something BIG! Alternating Angle Training utilizes quick changes in the incline angle during a strip set. Keep the loading high and the reps between 4-6 on each angle; execute three different angles per set. During our trials the groups starting with an incline position such as 45 degrees, then 30 deg and the final phase of the set at 10 deg grew the most (7 pounds of new muscle over 8 weeks) rest is only 20 seconds between angles which is long enough for the nervous system to recover. The average workout may include 4-6 heavy reps and then a 2 minute rest period or longer, that is a long time to waste especially if you want to keep your sessions in the anabolic range of 40-50 minutes! AAT training packs in 12-18 heavy reps per set into a short time window creating an excellent muscle growth and fat loss opportunity. Do three times more work than average gym rat with a higher average weight per rep and you will grow faster! We guarantee it! How is this possible? The first angle is often the weakest and actually optimizes your strength levels for the following angles, it is a neuromuscular phenomenon related to the specific program design. The changes in incline during the set present a new stimulus recruiting the muscle fibers with the greatest potential for growth! Remember the body is very smart and protects you from injury by shutting off increases in strength and growth when a weakness is detected. The trial included 20 males between the ages of 32 and 42 all with 10 plus years of training experience. Half Amino Loaded with Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (Muscle Synthesis is now also available as a Powder ) before and after training and this group gained new muscle and lost fat at twice the rate of the control group! It was clear during the first couple weeks of the trial that the amino loading group would earn better results based on their higher weight loads and work capacity. In many cases it was hard for the control group to keep up as they did not have the support of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to provide an alternative energy source during training. Scientifically engineered by Dr. Serrano the Amino Acids build up in the blood stream to supply a super fuel during training and when taken in the right amounts the excess lays the foundation for new growth while optimizing the hormonal environment. So you do the math, what do you think will happen when the right raw materials are abundant and performance improves? MORE MUSCLE! LESS FAT! Dr. Serrano and I realized years ago that two little known factors were the source of a many lifting injuries- high rep ranges and repetitive motions of the same exercises for an extended period of time. Your primary movers rarely give out causing a set to end, rather the stabilizers which are supposed to ensure proper path of the weights and range of motion. Higher rep ranges can at times cause the stabilizers to give out exposing the trainee to injury, this is often evidenced when you watch some one pressing with progressively worse form as they fatigue during a set, and this is the fastest way to injury. Another key to improved muscle mass and injury prevention is structural balance- the front cannot grow if the back is too small to counter balance. You will super set pushing with pulling movements also changing angles to gain the benefits of your technique and watch your lat spread expand! No shoulder pressing is needed right now and avoid barbells due to your shoulder pain; You will get plenty of front delt work from the incline series. We will bring the traps up with strategic holds at the top of a chin up and incline lateral raises to increase recruitment. “To reduce shoulder pain take 6-9 Alpha Omega per day to lubricate joints and potentially reduce inflammation. Remember training hard breaks down tissues, build them back up rapidly with Amino Loading, this has made a dramatic difference with pain reduction and function according to my patient research.” Eric Serrano MD Alternating Angle Training Sets Reps Tempo Rest A1. 45° inc db press 3 4-6 4-2-x-0 20 A2. 30° inc db press 3 4-6 3-1-x-0 20 A3. 10° inc db press 3 4-6 3-1-x-0 90 B1. 45° inc prone db row 3 4-6 4-0-x-2 20 B2. 30° inc prone db row 3 4-6 4-0-x-2 20 B3. 10° inc prone db row 3 4-6 4-0-x-1 90 C1.

Dr. Serrano how can I stay lean year round and how can I reduce bloating? I eat the same things daily like clock work and have had allergy tests so I cannot figure out what is causing this. It makes my stomach look like a big balloon! The bloating is related to a series of food allergies and eating the same things all of the time can cause this type of reaction, rotating the foods in a strategic manner along with macronutrient %s is absolutely vital to achieve your goals. Skin allergy tests do not always provide accurate results in my experience so you must look for other symptoms like bloating, fatigue, stomach upset, joint pain and gas! Beyond the appearance problems the constant struggles with digestion make your body operate less efficiently making muscle growth and fat loss much harder. Conquering these problems will make you look much leaner; within a month patients look dramatically better. Protein shakes are a common cause of allergies due to their dairy derivative content which is why we have been working on a special combination of proteins that will not set off allergies. Most protein powders are merely meal replacements, we will release a product in a category of it’s own due to the body composition enhancing power. If you want more details email scott@infinityfitness.com and ask Scott about project X, the first few batches are already spoken for by well know professional sports organizations and VIP clients. During our recent visit to one pro team complex we were nearly mugged for our sample batch by some crazed linemen. The key to being lean year round is using the right macronutrient rotation protocols to ensure the body efficiently uses fat as fuel, Scott makes this very simple for clients by adjusting food choices, but the design process is highly complex. Your body quickly adapts to diet just like training; requiring strategic refinements to ensure your success. The training and recovery situation must also be taken into account making a customized approach absolutely vital. Looking at patient progress over the scope of a year, those who stay in the best condition are consistently sending the right signals with sound nutrition, training and supplementation, none more powerful than amino loading to stimulate metabolism and taking alpha omega to minimize fat storage hormones. Trainees who have Amino Loaded with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis consistently for 6 months or more have a strategic build up of raw materials within the muscle bellies (not to mention a huge pump around the clock) supporting advanced performance and metabolism through multiple path ways. This was very clear when comparing results to people who had amino loaded for a shorter period of time. For over 10 years I have been providing customized training and nutrition solutions and this is an open invitation to call me give me 5 minutes to explain why I can take your success to new levels. Desperate to add 10 lbs of rock hard muscle or shed 50 lbs of ugly fat- you have questions. We have answers! 614 868 7521 Revive your Testosterone Engine Naturally Scott five years ago when I started training at age 31 I was so eager to get into the gym, now it less than fun, the workouts are killing me and the results are meager. Your programs completely transformed a friend of mine ( Jerry) who was in the same situation just 6 months ago. I am already training 90 minutes 4 times per week and would give anything for 10 new lbs of muscle next month. What more can you do? How about less! Training sessions over 55 minutes are not productive for people not using steroids. You need to raise the quality of work by packing in more work into less time at an urgent pace. During a recent visit to NYC I updated a program for a client who other members of the gym call hurricane since he moves from exercises so quickly between sets. They also know him as the guy who was FORMERLY the worse looking guy in the gym. Now he is 9.5% body fat with 18 lbs of new muscle in 6 months. You have two things working against you: age related hormonal decline which reduces your capacity to train and maturation of the nervous system; requiring more strategic program innovation to keep results moving as you become more experienced. As we age testosterone and other anabolic hormones decrease while catabolic hormones stemming from stress increase. Training is fun when you can see rapid progress; you must have confidence in your routine and a mission in mind when you enter the gym to get the most out of your workout. Training should invigorate you, by the end of the workout you should feel like running through a brick wall and tackling a dump trunk. Dragging by the time you are done indicates you went beyond the point of literally “no return” Adopt a Sense of Urgency for More Muscle and Less Fat Trainees cannot afford to wait until after training to kick start recovery and growth, you need to Amino Load during training and between meals to keep muscle-chewing hormones (cortisol) in check while providing building blocks to fuel muscle growth as you are training. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (Muscle Synthesis is now also available as a Powder ) not only provides the vital growth materials, but also builds up valuable reserves within the muscle bellies to promote INTENSE training performance. Training with a sense of urgency rapidly depletes muscle energy stores which is why the raw materials delivered via the proprietary Amino Loading delivery system are so important to guarantee you are ready for the next set. This also peaks the body’s ability to use stored fat as fuel during exercise. “I have been leading the way by finding effective alternatives to steroids, what few know is that steroids work not only by raising testosterone, but also by blocking cortisol receptors. Cortisol a stress hormone created by physical and emotional stress is testosterone’s worst enemy, but if you can keep cortisol in check, your bio available test levels will sore to potentially improve your body comp, strength, sexual function and daily vigor. I developed 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (Muscle Synthesis is now also available as a Powder) to optimize the body for muscle growth, performance and fat loss based on my findings working with thousands of results hungry patients just like you!. “ Eric Serrano MD Change is an over used buzzword, but when it comes to training, you not only need change, you need strategic muscle shock to guarantee your success. We named the routine style below Muscle Shock Trauma since it’s goal is to challenge both the nervous system and muscles with new stimuli in order to break plateaus. Notice the rep ranges provided, if you hit the higher rep number in the bracket move the weight up 5-10 lbs for the next set to ensure optimal loading. A 3-5% (measured by increases in loads, reps and other quality measures) increase in output each week translates to mega improvements over the course of 4 weeks. I have assigned these system parameters to over 100 clients (customized to their individual needs) over the last 3 months- and on average muscle increased by 11.5 lbs, not bad considering half the group is over the age of 35!

Scott after three months of very strict dieting I have not come anywhere close to my goals, yes I dropped some weight, but my body looks terrible. Can I just cut my calories to 1,000 per day to take care of the problem? Summer is about here and I am desperate. Not unless you want to be the 98lb weakling poster boy, there is much more to the fat loss equation than cutting calories, and those who make the most severe cuts for a prolonged period of time destroy muscle and metabolic rate. Many people who have “over dieted” come my way since so many other “experts” failed them. It takes time to undo the damage, but there is light at the end of the tunnel as this year alone I categorize 34 new clients into what I call metabolic sluggishness syndrome. How many people do you know if seem to have been on a “diet” for the last 5 years or more? Are they are still over fat? And does any fat loss seem to come right back within a month? People in this situation are making the brain believe starvation is near encouraging the body to efficiently preserve and expand fat storage. The most powerful solution is amino loading around workouts and between meals to send signals the brain that a large amount of food has been consumed. As a result metabolic rate increases, but there is nothing to burn except stored fat since the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis combo have little to no caloric value. Dr. Serrano has long term nutrition protocol research on over 7,500 patients stretching back 10 plus years and based on this info we know what tactics work and in what situations. It is a matter of applying the right protocols including caloric/food cycling, macronutrient shifting, integrating training and much more. I make refinements to the plans frequently based on client feedback and progress, this is something that you cannot do on your own with any success. Along with over dieting overtraining is often found by way of too much cardio, especially women who drastically increase fat storage hormones with their running sessions to nowhere. Not what they had in mind I am sure. The use of the right interval cardio and weight training routine teaches the body to efficiently use fat as fuel and will turn the tables in your favor again. Long stretches between meals as well as a low dietary fat intake makes the strongest of wills human garbage cans seeking out sugar. Crush cravings and fat cells with Alpha Omega to boost your omega 3 intake proven to be crucial for every step of the fat loss mechanism. For over 10 years I have been providing customized training and nutrition solutions and this is an open invitation to call me give me 5 minutes to explain why I can take your success to new levels.

Super Station Concept Video- A Great workout in 30 minutes or less; great for slashing body fat and improving definition. Super Station Torso Training workout video and The best bang for your muscle buck Scott thanks for the diet and Amino loading tips a couple months ago, since then I have packed on 7 lbs of muscle. I want to improve my chest and back training, but it is hard when I am constantly waiting for equipment. Any tips? Roger L. Miami Roger I knew those suggestions would make a big difference for you; I find that addressing a few details can make a world of difference. Instead of fighting over the bench press or other machines grab an adjustable bench near the heavy dbs which allows for a variety of incline angles and grips exclusive to dbs. Fortunately for you the pretenders who get in the way will avoid heavy dbs and leave you alone. You will alternate between pressing and prone (face down) db rows on the adjustable bench so there is no wasted time. Those in a big hurry and emphasizing fat loss can reduce the rest periods below. I came up with the routine below for a group of 8 pro athlete investment advisors who were all very accomplished trainees and had to exercise during their lunch break in 45 minutes or less. Each money man was assigned different grips, rep, set, rest and tempos appropriate for their needs, but all used the concept along with amino loading and customized diet. Over 4 weeks the average was an increase of 6 pounds of muscle- and a 22% increase in strength! There is more to training the chest than just your standard press. Stimulating the entire cross section of muscle requires the use of different grips (rotation of the palms) and pressing angles. My advanced clients have earned great results making these small yet significant changes to increase muscle mass and strength. One of the many advantages to varying he grip during the workout is the ability to target the weakest link limiting growth. Remember the brain will protect you from injury by shutting down strength gains if weak links arise. The most common weakness is an underhand pressing grip which does a great job of addressing the pec minor often neglected during most chest workouts despite its great importance for development. The longer you have been training, the greater your ability to adapt requiring constant change to keep the muscles “interested” Rebalance Muscles to get the V Taper and reduce shoulder pain. I perform an assessment of every client’s training history to find areas of improvement and I come across shoulder pain very frequently largely due to under development of the pulling muscles. You can eliminate a great deal of shoulder pain by rebalancing the system. Think about how many more sets of pressing you have done vs. pulling in your life. Over time this gap can create problems which show up as shoulder pain and pulling weakness. The right approach can help you rebalance quickly to support a fantastic V taper look with a wide lat spread and thin waist. The routine below presents a great opportunity but only if you Amino Load to support elevated performance and rapid repair. Start sipping 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (Muscle Synthesis is now also available as a Powder ) 30 minutes before training to prime the anabolic environment and provide a rush of potent aminos to fuel muscles. DR. Serrano an accomplished powerlifter supervises training sessions of Amino Loading trial participants to record performance results. We both agree that experienced trainee can see a 5-10% increase in strength and a huge reduction of soreness when amino loading consistently. This may not seem like much, but 1% often differentiates winners and losers in many competitive arenas. Amino Loading between meals builds up vital reserves of amino acids within muscle bellies to support increased rates of recovery, muscle growth and fat loss around the clock.

One Size Does NOT Fit all Scott I followed the exact same nutrition plan as a friend of mine who went from 14% to 8% in 8 weeks and I am still stuck at 14%, how can this be? One size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition especially for aggressive goals which require a customized approach to ensure your success. For 10 clients I will likely use 10 distinctly different nutrition plans based on a number of factors unique to that individual. While some elements hold true to all people, the reactions that clients will have to certain food sources, amounts, combinations and timing can vary widely. One particular food source might make your friend’s muscles look very full while that same item can bloat you like a whale. Dr. Serrano and I have developed many techniques for identifying the best customized approach and this is an ongoing process that must be refined as conditions change for each client including exercise volume, sleep patterns, stress and more. We review a great deal of client feedback and records to measure the effectiveness of program changes. Where body fat is being lost is a key indicator of hormonal changes, daily energy, exercise performance, mental clarity and many others are clear signs as to how well the body is responding to a protocol. Dietary Fat load to Drop 10 lbs FAST One of the greatest nutrition break troughs over the last 10 years is macronutrient loading which is a day or period of hours of increased intake of a certain macronutrient. Carb loading has long been a staple of many trainees, but dietary fat and protein loading are even more productive for improving body composition. “Dietary fat loading has been a great weapon I have used to naturally boost anabolic hormone levels- resulting in increased muscle mass and reduced body fat. We use specific foods high in good fats and a ton of Alpha Omega to boost beneficial Omega 3 intake. A large part of my professional career has been spent conducting long term human trials to identify and resolve barriers to fat loss. The unique ratios and pure raw materials within Alpha Omega offer a fast track to rapid fat loss along with a properly designed nutrition and training program.” Eric Serrano MD Email scott@infinityfitness.com for our top 10 nutrition tips and the dietary fat loading protocol we have used to help clients double their rate of fat loss in a month- many dropping up to 10 lbs in that time with no other changes. Big Time Strip Set Concept Video- The fastest way to slash 10 pounds of fat and gain 10 pounds of Muscle. Compound Arm Training workout video and Multi Phase Arm Strip Set video for unrivaled progress! Scott- 4 past training partners all in their late 30’s have gained 10 lbs + of muscle while getting their body fat % from mid to high teens into the single digits have referred me to you. All four of them did this in 3-4 months to my amazement; at the pace I am going it would take years! After 2 decades of training at age 38 I have finally figured out I cannot do it all on my own. What guarantees do you offer to get me to my goals? Randy L- Chicago Randy I was tipped off that you would be calling me soon, as they say there are no guarantees in life and be skeptical of fitness related items or services that promise unrealistic claims. I have never had a client participate in one of my 12 week training and nutrition consultations who has not achieved a much better condition than when they started. Obviously the client’s dedication to consistency with both training and diet impact the bottom line. You sound like a motivated guy and that is a large part of the battle; matching you with the right plan will make your goals a reality! Gaining muscle while losing body fat is no easy task, everyone wants to do it, while few get it done as several challenges exist. A sound strategy must be put in place considering many individual factors including training experience, current diet, muscle imbalances, recovery capacity, injury status, sleep patterns and more. Analyzing these details during the program design phase is vital and a continued evaluation of client feedback and progress is one vital element I use to accelerate client results. While we cannot go into all of these details here I can at least present Big Time Strip training which is one of the successful strategies I used with your buddies mentioned above customized to each of their specific needs by modifying exercises, rep brackets, volume, rest periods and more. “Scott a friend of mine (Randy) will be calling you soon as he spoke to Mick, Blake, Roy and I at the gym yesterday and told us how pissed he was about his lack of results in comparison to us. I have gained a full 2 inches on my arms while dropping massive fat and packing on 14 lbs of muscle. WE have been amino loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis (Muscle Synthesis is now also available as a Powder )around workouts and it makes a huge difference especially with strip sets to make sure we keep on pushing. Your protocols from start to finish have delivered, give Randy that compound program followed by strip sets- it is a killer and he needs some real training to catch up to us!” Max Chicago. 12/08/2007 Compound Movements for Major Muscle Using compound movements with heavy loading not only burns a great deal of calories, but stimulates muscle growth by accessing the fast twitch muscle fibers with the greatest potential for growth. As mentioned many times before short rest periods are a great method for increasing the hormones with the specific correlation to increasing rates of fat loss, however rest periods which are too short limit the amount of load you can use. Big Time Strip training offers you the best of both worlds by starting the workout with moderates rest periods using compound movements in a superset format. The workout finishes with use of the cable weight stack for a killer multi phase strip set. Using the weight stack is great for easily adjusting weight without the need for a spotter or changing plates. If you have ever done strip sets correctly you know they are quite the challenge, pivotal times will arrive when you feel like quitting due to sheer exhaustion, but consider the importance of your goals and do not let yourself quit! In many years of coaching clients to be their best- I believe firmly that the ones who can give the extra 10% in the face of adversity see results much faster than their “softer” counterparts. I suggest that you do 1-2 prep sets to familiarize yourself with the movements of the strip set, find a load appropriate for 6-8 reps at controlled negative of 3 seconds. It is vital that you start with right load at the beginning of the strip set; otherwise the subsequent sets will be to light. You will strip the load 10-20% after the first set by adjusting the pins and bang out 6-8 reps, and repeat until you performed 3 phases to complete the set. Dr. Serrano and I have been working for years to figure out what we can do to improve training performance and it struck us right in the face that the use of 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis Powder during training would have a huge impact on performance. The body works very hard going through many time demanding steps to break down amino acids from food and in some situations your hard earned muscles so energy can be provided during the training session. The 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis deliver an abundance of the specific amino acids ratios needed to fuel great performance with plenty of left over material to assist with new muscle growth and rapid recovery. So far the 14 clients testing the Muscle Synthesis powder have experienced increased strength and the ability to reduce rest between sets. Their work load tolerance and corresponding muscle growth have sky rocketed in comparison to the control group using the same training and nutrition protocol. You cannot build more muscle without extra raw materials, while in theory it is difficult to lose body fat when extra raw materials are available sparing stored fat. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis during training and between meals provides the solution to this problem as the dynamic muscle duo provides truck loads full of raw materials for muscle with little to no caloric burden. Dr. Serrano assembled the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis to replicate the ingestion of massive amounts of food forcing the metabolism into over drive, but the only available fuel source to be burned is stored fat since the MR and Muscle Synthesis have little caloric value and bypass digestion; traveling rapidly to the muscles.

Compound Arm Training workout video and Multi Phase Arm Strip Set video for unrivaled progress! Burning Down the Fat Warehouse Scott I was listening in on one of your conversations with a client at a gym here in Beverly Hills who has made an awesome transformation over 6 months. I heard you talk about the “Fat Warehouse and Fat Storage Pockets” and how that had to be attacked before great results could be earned. What exactly does this mean? The fat storage warehouse represents the abundance of fat cells that nature never intended to exist due largely to the consumption of artificial trans fats, too much grain fed saturated fat intake and foods fried in corn oil which not only expands fat cell size, but also increases their numbers. Once these fat cells are in place, they stay for good. The more fat cells you have- the greater your “talent” and or capacity for storing fat, as you can see across the globe we have many fat storage experts waddling all over. Having a big capacity for fat storage is a two fold problem- first it makes it much easier for you to re accumulate body fat in comparison to an earlier time period in your life when your capacity was lower. To make matters worse the increased number of fat cells specifically around the mid section and legs makes these pockets of fat extremely hard to eliminate even for very lean people. Attack the Fat Cells! Dr. Serrano designed the Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce to burn down the fat storage warehouse by first pushing out the bad materials from the cell and then burning them off. Alpha Omega supports a collective reduction in fat cell size by enabling the body to use more stored fat as an energy source during exercise and daily activities. Presence of trans fats within cells retards their ability to function making it harder to use fat as fuel. Properties of the ingredients within the Alpha Omega help to prevent fat cell multiplication and size expansion by quickly forcing out bad materials and replacing them with elements which can help the cell to permanently reduce capacity. Furthermore this fat cell shrinkage and continued intake of essential fats makes it much harder for fat expanding enemies to get back in the cell. The many qualities of Alpha Omega that interfere with the fat storage process make it very effective for damage control when diet mishaps occur. Set Fire to Unwanted Body fat Dr. Serrano adds While the Alpha Omega helps to force stored fat out of the cells you need to burn these materials ASAP to support your goals. Fat Reduce was designed to increase rates of fat burning via metabolic stimulation and optimization of the hormonal factors regulating fat loss. Hormones play a crucial role in your success or failure. The combination of elevated insulin and cortisol specifically increases rates of fat storage and managing these levels through proper supplementation, diet and exercise is extremely important for those who already have a large “warehouse”. Fat Reduce is made up of a unique AM and PM combination, while the AM version handles metabolic enhancement- the PM formula supports reduction of cortisol and other stress markers to support relaxation potentially improving sleep quality. Due to a lack of space I cannot show you patient case studies and site thousands of research papers, but to summarize this stack works by addressing every step of the process from start to finish! People with a large fat warehouse are very sensitive to carb intake making for a very tricky situation as a few missteps can completely stall progress. Carefully positioning carb intake instead of eliminating them all together makes a huge difference in the bottom line. Have you found that nutrition plans previously effective no longer work? You control certain training factors to create specific response correct? This consists of exercise selection, sets, reps, rest periods etc which you rotate regularly to avoid progress staleness, you must do the same with nutrition to achieve your fat loss or muscle growth goals. Your factors of change include food choices, timing, portions and % of carbs, fats and proteins. These elements must be manipulated in a customized fashion to achieve the best results. Macronutrient cycling is the most effective nutrition breakthrough for both gaining muscle and losing body fat that I have come across in many years. Scott has mastered these techniques and understands how to integrate all of the factors including training! Short Burst Training- The Revolution of Training Scott- Getting to a single digit body fat % ASAP is my New Year resolution mission. Is am cardio necessary? I am willing to do whatever it takes to reach my goals. Why not replace your cardio sessions with a rapid fire exercises session that actually protects calorie burning muscle and accelerates fat loss. Cardio vascular exercise is not the only way to get your heart pumping and fat burning engine racing; you can achieve the same benefits from fast paced exercise sessions using any number of body weight resistance and callisthenic movements. Yes training first thing in the am on an empty stomach does create an opportunity for accelerated fat loss due to the depletion of fuel sources during the overnight fast; however these conditions also leave hard earned muscle exposed to destruction. Our clients use the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around the Short Burst (SB) sessions to preserve muscle and burn off body fat. The ability to run detailed exercise, nutrition and supplementation experiments in Dr. Serrano’s office provides a huge advantage. Our latest creation addresses a majority of the success barriers faced by the tens of thousands of trainees I am able to survey over a year. The two most common are a lack of time and energy which can be solved with the implementation of short burst (SB) workouts. These are 15-20 minute intense exercise sessions done with minimal equipment to maximize metabolism, energy and mental sharpness. Exercise in this fashion not only burns calories, but also accelerates metabolism for many hours following. We have successfully designed dozens of SB workout programs covering all body parts and skill levels. “I have been a morning cardio addict for years thinking if I did not do it I would blow up like a blimp. The SB sessions have replaced the am cardio completely and I am leaner than ever before (7%) with a lean muscle mass 8 lbs higher than my previous best. This is best addition to my scheme in 10 years!” Mike L Tulsa Logically increasing the frequency of quality exercise sessions will burn more fat; however preventing overtraining must be considered which is why the extra workouts are short yet intense. The goal is not to tack on time to your training commitments, rather to increase quality and ultimately production after all you cannot sprint forever. An example of a SB session many include alternating sets of 5 chin ups and weighted push ups for a total of 40 reps each in a total of 20 minutes. 5 push ups seems easy, but implementing a controlled tempo and extra loading combined with minimal rest turns this into a fat blasting party. You will be invigorated with energy and metabolism will race- a much better option that reading the funny papers in the morning. Any motivated person can designate 20 minutes a day to train at home first thing in the am or at another time if your goals are genuinely important. Start exercising and your daily energy levels will improve quickly! Some clients only have time for SB workouts and see great success while more aggressive individuals will perform additional weight training sessions at a different time. Test Group Produces Great Results! The client test group (11 males 28-41 years of age) using SB workouts 4 times per week combined with a traditional Rapid Rip weight training program later in the day averaged a 3.5% body fat loss during the first 45 days, all started under 16% body fat to begin with and made use of customized nutrition and supplementation plans. None spent more than 4 hours exercising in a 7 day period. I insist clients Amino Load with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around both training sessions to ensure rapid recovery, improved performance and accelerated fat loss. Amino Loading not only provides tons of anabolic raw materials, but also forces the body to use more stored fat as a fuel source during exercise due to the muscle sparing impact of Dr. Serrano’s scientifically engineered 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. “What makes 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis the most effective body comp improvement stack on the market? 15 years of research with real patient trials and I have the data to back up the great success!

This mechanism is called density, the forgotten factor of improvement closely associated with muscle growth, fat loss and an anabolic hormonal explosion of testosterone and growth hormone. Diminishing rest increase the production of Lactic Acid responsible for that burning sensation nature so happily provides to remind you of your hard work.

Time for a Six Pack- it is Now or Never! DR. Serrano I am seeking a 6 pack, after 3 years of trying at the start of the year I cannot seem to make it happen, what do I do? I am going to answer this from a scientific perspective: Training and nutrition elements must be considered; to the surprise of many diet is much more important as there is more to fat loss or muscle gain than the overly simplified calories in vs. calories out equation. Eat 2,500 calories worth of potato chips and get the same results as 2,500 calories of clean food? No way! hormones run the show and according to 15 years of hard research and great patient results I can tell you for sure that the same plan does not work for everyone. However those who can naturally manipulate their hormones with diet, supplementation and exercise are successful 100% of the time. The SB training is awesome, I do it myself when work piles up as I am limited on time- it makes my mind sharp and I stay in great shape. The SB abdominal routines are awesome and we have posted a video below, do it once per week and you will have a great six pack quickly assuming you are able to achieve a low body fat %. Click Here for the Introductory Abdominal Short Burst Training The most critical element is determining how your hormones and metabolism react to certain food sources, timing and combinations based on a series of experiments I conduct with my patients. At a recent seminar I was mugged by attendees wanting to know how many calories to consume, macronutrient %s, carb cycling etc. Yes all of these factors need to be set up; the details must all be ironed out based on individual needs. Furthermore changing factors at the right time is critical to your success and Scott can do this when communicating with a client regularly. Why gamble with your results by going it alone with program design when you can ensure success with a customized plan? Your individual traits play a vital role in program design including age, gender, genetic background, stress levels, prior nutrition habits and more. For example should a person who works all day doing manual labor eat the same amount as someone behind a desk even if they weigh the same and have similar goals? Heck no! Small refinements can be the difference between slow progress and staggering fat loss! Explaining the methods would take up too much space, but needless to say you better find help from an expert if you are looking for both rapid and permanent results. “I was initially very skeptical of some nutrition changes Scott made to my nutrition plan periodically, but I could not argue with the results. It was easy to follow and I was never hungry- my net loss was 6% body fat(-8.5 lbs of fat) in 2 months which made me extremely lean!“ Jennifer M- Yuma AZ Insulin is a fat storage hormone while cortisol activates fat accumulation receptors supporting fat deposition specifically on the mid section for men and upper legs for women. The typical American Diet combined with growing rates of stress is a recipe for physique disaster. A powerful method for attacking mid section fat is the combination of Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce. Alpha Omega is a filtrated essential fat supplement unmatched for purity and effectiveness containing several ingredients in specific ratios well known for combating both elevated insulin and cortisol. I engineered Fat Reduce based on many years of blood work reviews and established the clear markers that resulted in massive fat loss. Establishing what needed to be done was the easy part, 3 years later Fat Reduce was born after many trials to ensure formulated perfection. 30 of my patients participated in a 1 month trial using the Fat Reduce with no changes in diet or exercise- the end result was an average increase of over 400 calories per day in expenditure! "My attitude has always been to make the most effective supplements possible based on the use of pure ingredients, hard science and live patient trials in my own office. I back the effectiveness of the MR, Muscle Synthesis, Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce 100% as I have seen them all dominate their respective categories for the last several years when it come to what you desire- RESULTS!"

Todd Buchanan Video Interview Scott I want to see a picture of one of your clients using the MR and MS who actually works and has a real life. It seems to me that magazines are full of “pros” who have nothing to do but train and eat all day. That is not my situation and I need to know what realistic path to take to achieve my goals. Richard M- Denver Sure thing Todd Buchanan fits that bill exactly since he works full time as a physical therapist and leads a productive family life with three kids. I assure you he does not have all day to train and probably spends less time in the gym than most bodybuilders while earning better results as he values quality over quantity. Here is a shocker- Todd is 43 years old and as a natural pro has won 10 overall titles. Most people mistake him for a man in his late 20s. He absolutely destroys the notion that one cannot make great gains well into their 40s since he has improved his condition every year that I have worked with him. So many people set out with the best of intentions and fall flat on their faces for primarily the same reason- their methods stink! You must work hard and smart to achieve great success. The number one killer of consistency is lack of progress again which goes back to the importance of training and nutrition program designed for the individual. Do not waste another second with methods that do not work. Contact Scott@infinityfitness.com for the customized approach required to reach your full potential. SM: What training and nutrition programs have helped you achieve your great condition? TB: As I have become more experienced with training and age of course yes the methods are more important than ever. You and I are always collaborating on training and nutrition ideas that I put to work with great success, innovation is important to keep things fresh. I have used many of the routine concepts printed in PM including Great Guns, Anti Gravity, etc, you are a mad muscle scientist and the changes made to fit my priorities are crucial to my success. Writing my own programs is next to impossible, I just know too much from many different sources causing a big debate, an objective expert is needed to settle the strategies so I can just focus on hard work. You cannot expect to make great gains without embracing change, programs that worked well for me a few years ago no longer get it done, so to continue growing I have to change or settle for lousy results. I find that pushing up the amount of work is not effective beyond a certain point, so I focus on improving intensity and technique (especially speed of movement). Execution is lacking for 90% of people I see in the gym, they just go through the motions, without pushing themselves hard enough. In that case no program is going to make you better. Each time I train – there is a mission in mind, my sessions are very intense, but that can only be maintained for a short window of time- my workouts are 40 minutes 4 times per week tops following warm up. SM: What is the source of your great intensity so vital to your success? Staying fresh is important, my recovery is great and I would attribute that to smart diet, training, rest and Amino Loading. I know I am ready to train when a smile comes to my face even thinking about the iron. Workouts should be fun and I consider each one an opportunity to improve my physique as I have complete confidence in the plan. Some times I see people in the locker room looking like they are about to cry, they tell me frustration and confusion have set in and a coherent program is lacking. That is no way to approach training, not if you want to be productive. The locker room is not the place to determine your workout for the day, this has to be planned in advance with the right expertise. Right now I am pushing more loads with less post workout soreness than 15 years ago based on my journals and it is no coincidence that I started taking 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis for the last few years. I have taken many other aminos going back at least 10 years, but no stack comes anywhere close to the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. You cannot expect to train with your best effort when not fully recovered; I learned this the hard way in my early years when I was overtraining. I Amino Load before and after every session without exception, if I forget to put my aminos in the gym bag, I turn around and go home to get them, not worth training without them since both my performance and recovery will suffer. SM: How do you maintain consistency? Is it just a matter of motivation? I do not make excuses- EVER. Sure I have my fair share of problems that come up, but I work around them. You cannot expect great results with half assed efforts; I draw motivation from many places to get ready for a show, family reunion or any important event. When crunch time hits I think about all of the hard work I have invested and the times that I passed up tasty food; it would be a crime to let all of those sacrifices go to waste so I turn it up a notch when the going gets tough. Now at the same time you must have the tools to support recovery to match training intensity or you will fall hard. Specifically with diet you have to choose to be successful by making good choices available at all times. I spend about 30 minutes a week cooking and packing lunches, but it is well worth it. Some people (even friends) are going to try to bring you down by offering you junk food to justify their own failures. Do not sabotage yourself; no one is going to force bad food down your throat. SM: Do you believe in a “bulking” phase or do you stay really lean year round? I thought both you and Dr. Serrano were crazy a few years ago when you told me I could gain muscle while on a low carb diet using the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis between meals. Turns out you were right as I am able to amino load more frequently instead of adding the extra calories that used to cause me to gain unwanted fat during the off season. Yes I do eat more during what I call a muscle gaining phase, but the use macronutrient cycling keeps me very lean while I grow. SM: What other tips do you have for getting ripped into the single digits of bf%? Diet is paramount of course, but that gets into many complex matters that need to be individualized in my opinion. I never count calories, always focus on good food choices/combinations and evaluate progress with calipers- never a scale or mirror as neither are objective. You must eat to support your training and as methods change the diet must also adapt. Do not let your body get stale eating the same things over and over, this is where the rotation of carbs, fats and protein is so crucial. Dr. Serrano always says to consider what hormonal impact foods will have on the system which is why I follow his advice and take the Alpha Omega essential fats to prevent the events that cause fat storage. Yes it costs me more to use the AO, but I can never get the same results using other EFAs. I do find that small pockets of body fat can form in certain places; the Fat Reduce has worked very well to attack those areas, it must improve my metabolism as I notice my pants are looser around the waist within the first couple of weeks using the FR. SM: What are the biggest differences you see between someone like yourself and others you know your age who do not make training and diet a priority? I see a lot of people as a PT with 12 appointments a day and I am shocked by how poorly many people present themselves physically. You can bet that people who do not exercise often and also eat poorly will have low energy and self esteem. The successful people I know from a professional stand point all stay in good shape and it is a reflection of their confidence. I mean who wants to be around sluggish people. The sluggish types have a bad attitude, they are the ones who talk a lot, but do not act. There will be a lot of on the fence readers checking out this article just like I see in the gym. How many will actually act on good information to control their own destiny?

I would be happy if I looked half as good as they do!
Consider me an explorer navigating the scientific waters of uncharted muscle. I just need .25lbs of muscle per every client that comes to me in the same situation as you each month so I can be 400 ripped pounds! Yes I can change your fortunes ASAP! 99% of trainees are limited to a small scope of information and do not have the ability or objectivity to design the routines needed to maximize their potential. As you become more advanced/experienced it only gets harder as the muscle body machine requires more complex techniques to keep growth going while keeping body fat levels low. It is not just a matter of taxing the muscles, but also stimulating the nervous system so you can stimulate more fibers; forming the foundation of new muscle. Each trainee is different requiring a unique approach to training; my customized consultation services makes use of an advanced assessment process helping me to determine the fastest path to new muscle and less fat by evaluating many factors including body type, training experience, strength deficits, injuries, recovery capacity, diet and more. Obviously, I cannot ascertain all of this info from your question, however below I will describe anti gravity training - a fantastic plateau buster necessary for an experienced guy like yourself needing a new strategic stimulus. We will turn your Guns into CANNONS “Scott I gained 6 lbs of muscle in 4 weeks (over 10 years training experience), within the first week I noticed my muscles sucking up all the nutrients available- The pumps were absolutely insane! My muscles have never been so full and hard in my entire life. I pumped my muscles with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around workouts and between meals. Man do I feel strong during workouts and fresh the next day! Tyler M Las Vegas NV Not Just Breaking all of the Rules- We are Changing the Game for New Muscle! Typically we all hit a wall during a set that forces us to discontinue, unacceptable as those points of fatigue can stop us short of maximal muscle fiber recruitment so vital to growth. Following a traditional set of 4-6 RM heavy reps instead of accepting muscle failure you will go beyond your preconceived limits and use momentum to lift loads while focusing on slow and controlled lowering for 4-6 additional reps just shy of failure. The benefits of this training are numerous, but to highlight a few: Research proves that slow eccentrics cause a natural anabolic hormonal explosion of Testosterone and IGF 1 supporting accelerated body comp improvements. Remember hormones govern success! Set durations of 30-50 seconds are optimal for muscle growth, but only if the loading is high enough to stimulate muscle fibers. AG training gives you the best of both worlds with this strip set format! 10 clients ( all with 7+ years experience adding to the significance of the results) took on this routine full force (just 45 minutes 3x per week) while Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis surrounding training and between meals over 4 weeks the average lean body mass accumulation was 5.8 lbs. These guys blew up over night practically as even within a couple weeks the increased fullness of muscles was noticeable. Consider AG training as a chisel you will hammer into a large stone (muscles) to create your masterpiece. The demands placed on recovery are unlike anything most have experienced making recovery tactics more important than the actual training session. The tremendous rates of muscle break down along with the strain placed on the nervous system make Amino Loading absolutely necessary. This can only work in your favor with the correctly proportioned raw materials found within 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis designed and tested for unmatched speed of nutrient delivery by Dr. Serrano. Whenever conducting a training experiment I seek out a control group using the exact same diet and training routine. However these brave souls do not have the benefit of Amino Loading. My follow up with the 10 control group subjects was lonely as all quit due to the advanced soreness they experienced. I found them all running the other way when I entered the gym to check on progress, followed by some unfriendly phone messages explaining their grief. According to the Muscle Dr. Serrano training in this manner can improve muscle elasticity and facial strength, helping to prevent common weight training injuries. “A unique anabolic hormonal explosion takes place when heavy eccentrics are used in this manner, but there is also a heavy toll taken on the nervous system making recovery paramount to your success. Do not bother with this type of training if you are not willing to Amino Load, eat and rest appropriately.” Anti Gravity Training- Make your guns into Cannons! Sets Reps Rest A1.

I have gotten down to 15% body fat, but can get no lower. How does one of your customized plans work? And why do I accumulate fat around my arms?
Correct! Nutrition is much more complicated than what people realize. Certain rules for success stretch across all people- to name a few eliminating refined foods and trans fats, portion control and more. However individual needs and goals will dictate what specifically needs to be done to not only reach goals, but to achieve them in the shortest possible time frame. After all, do you have another year or six months to wait to get your dream body? My clients approach goals with a sense of urgency to reach objectives right now! Once you have confidence in the plan and see results- you will be unstoppable. I examine dozens of factors when setting up a nutrition plan and in the best cases working with a consultation client I am also able to integrate the training routine. These two factors go hand in hand. Strategically the nutrition plan should progress along with exercise to take advantage of metabolic adaptations. To make a long story short, just like training, diet must also progress with refinements to avoid plateaus. Yes this often involves manipulating food portions and combinations. Cycling macronutrients in the right sequence ensures the body will maximize use of stored fat as fuel and spare protein to form new muscle. I make it all very simple to execute for my clients. Collecting client feedback is crucial so that the right refinements can be made. Do you find yourself tired after meals or running to the bathroom? These are signs that things need to change and often times related to unknown food allergies that may not show up in traditional tests, but develop over time from eating the same things too often. Success is all in the details which is why I leave no stone unturned for my clients. Yes people will store fat in different areas based on many hormonal factors, I learned the importance of this information from the Hormone Master Dr. Serrano. In your case your testosterone levels are likely low requiring changes in every aspect of your routine. I have helped numerous consultation clients in the last 3 months alone overcome the same problem as you. The most common scenario is training in the gym 5 days or more per week for an hour plus with lots of cardio= overtraining? To match stress is high for a variety of reasons and at times periods of very low energy cannot be explained. Low dietary fat consumption and poor sleep patterns are a likely part of the equation as well. You must change your strategy or plan to fail! There are many dozens of excess fat location scenarios combined with other data that will help me resolve your problem using non medical tactics fast. Since we are on the topic of low testosterone and resulting fat storage we must also mention high cortisol which is often associated from a combination of high stress levels and overtraining. Interval sprints are not only proven to burn fat more efficiently, but will help to keep cortisol levels in check in comparison to standard long duration steady state sessions. Weight training sessions must be trimmed back in many cases to emphasize intensity to not only drop cortisol, but naturally stimulate test levels- bring out your natural training beast. Good dietary fat intake must increase especially Alpha Omega which can help to correct omega 3 to 6 deficiencies that you most likely encounter. The right dietary fat choices have a strong correlation to anabolic hormone production. Every single client who uses the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis in the proper dose for a month or more has been extremely satisfied. This powerful combination addresses many of the most common problems faced by the population at large. To mention a few: Increasing rates of recovery, boosting training performance, mobilizing stored fat to be used as fuel during exercise and more. Taken between meals Amino Loading serves as a powerful cravings crusher, peaking mental focus and energy without stimulants. The daily routine of each client must also be taken into account; do you sit at a desk or work construction? Obviously these two situations would call for much different plans even if the goals were the same. I would imagine for most people sitting down to eat 6 meals per day would also not be practical. In addition to having the right plan from a scientific stand point; it must also be practical and satisfying. Optimal Number of Meals Depends on You! Scott how many meals per day to maximize fat loss? I do not have all day to stop and eat, but I hit a point in the afternoon where I am so tired that I just cannot function without a bag of chips or other things that I should not be eating. I must be ready for Summer! It is well known that more frequent smaller meals are best for nutrient absorption and elevating metabolism in addition to providing a consistent influx of nutrients to support lean muscle repair and growth. However many practical problems make this difficult due to our current societal time crunch. For starters few have the ability to eat more than 3 times per day and finding/preparing good food choices for all of these times is a challenge. I find many who make the effort to eat 5-6 meals per day while correct in concept fail when it comes to execution and end up eating far too much resulting in increasing body fat levels The most successful solution is to eat your three square meals and Amino Load between with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis. Amino Loading provides many of the same advantages of multiple meals without the caloric burden- you see metabolism will perceive a large influx of food from Amino Loading, but the contents have little to no caloric value making stored fat the primary fuel option for a raging metabolic fat destroying furnace! In addition to the metabolic benefits- imagine how much your quality of life will improve with well balanced energy and mood. The unique blend of expensive (due to both potency and quality) Free Form Amino Acids found with the Muscle Synthesis increase the presence of neurotransmitters- translation- more powerful brain food to support better concentration and productivity. The rapidly increasing stress level of American society is of great concern caused by traffic jams, overbearing bosses, bills, the list goes on and on is not only hitting American wallets, but also plunging quality of life. Anticatabolic elements with the 100% MR can combat the negative impact of stress to not only support greater rates of fat loss and improved lean muscle mass, but also to reduce the mental burden created by mounting stress levels. A group of co workers decided to use the methods described within the Zero Tolerance Fat Loss system and challenged a rival sales department within the same company with not only a fat loss contest, but also a work productivity battle measured in what else- sales. Not only did the Zero Tolerance Group more than triple the amount of fat lost, but they hit record sales figures over the 8 week period. Subsequently I got a call from the regional director asking me how this was possible, we dug further to survey the participants and the top reasons for improved performance was a better level of steady energy and peak mental focus through the day. Keep in mind the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis contain no stimulants, but amino acids in the right proportions are truly the world’s most powerful brain/mood food! “Scott my work performance was great in addition to my fat loss, the stress which seemed to zap me every day and cause intense food cravings was gone within a week of starting the Zero Tolerance Plan. I will see a big promotion if I keep this up and I have you to thank for cutting my body fat nearly by half from 20% to 11% in 12 weeks! Gene T Boston Periods of low energy and corresponding hunger hit everyone at just the wrong time each day and the easy solution has become to grab a bag of chips or other packaged goods which are easily accessible. We see where that strategy has gotten us as one of the most obese nations in the world- and we are not done yet, by 2020 I bet 50% of the population will be obese. Will you be one of them? Over Fat and miserable? Take action now to determine your own destiny. A leading cause? Increased Insulin levels stemming from out of control blood sugar levels and poor food choices. Essential fatty acids in specific ratios within the Alpha Omega designed by Dr. Serrano are designed to take full advantage of the power of highly refined fish oils which Improve the omega 3 to 6 ratio, thus reducing depression according to many studies. Strategic EFA supplementation also improves insulin sensitivity; reducing the amount of the highly potent “fat storing” hormone insulin available which also creates your late afternoon energy coma. Lastly the optimal Omega 3 supplementation can also signal a faster rate of satisfaction during meals resulting in less overeating and desire for foods high in sugar. The Zero Tolerance Fat Loss system is backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee* and provides a comprehensive fat loss solution including Supplementation, Flexible meal plans, Fat burning exercise routines and full tech support directly from Fat Loss guru Scott Mendelson. Time to Climb new Mountains! I hit a plateau every few years and you are the only expert I know of who actually addresses training for advanced guys as oppose to only gen pop transformation crowd. What tactics can I use to put 12-15 more lbs of muscle on my frame without forcing my bf above 6%?
This will require a great deal of nutrient dense food consumption, proper timing/combinations of food, rest and supplementation tools. As you know the easiest way to get big from a nutrition standpoint is to eat everything good or bad in site, however this will result in massive accumulation of fat too! What is that worth to be the biggest guy on the beach if no one can see those abs or striations? There is not enough room to address the nutrition requirements within this article, but you are welcome to give me a call any time to discuss the best solution to fit your needs via my consultation service. Demand for my travel consulting services have been very highly lately enabling me to observe and review thousands of training journals from who you pointed out are advanced trainees I find that program design and concepts are severely lacking! A huge problem is the absence of strategic progression from week to week to properly challenge the muscles in a way that will support progress. Most personal trainers settle for telling clients, go get stronger each week and you will grow. Well NO Sh*t but that is not exactly easy for the advanced guy who is moving closer to his genetic potential with those methods. The other popular method of progression is adding more sessions and time (volume) to workouts- also a poor idea unless you value the top spot in the unproductive overtraining club. I visited a gym in Miami to meet with a couple of clients and ran into someone who was drinking an entire pot of coffee in the locker room. He explained he has to do this in order to workout due the fatigue from his weight training “hang over” Reviewing his training records it was obvious that the only method for progression he knew was volume which lead him into an overtraining zone as a result there was no progress in 6 months! Want to start growing again and regain that bounce in your step? Trust me like thousands of my consult clients who have experienced great success far beyond what they ever imagined possible. What causes this problem?- first and foremost when the body is overwhelmed with excessive training volume it zaps the nervous system causing that constant feeling of fatigue and huge drop in performance as the nervous system governs strength. Few realize the importance of the testosterone to cortisol ratio. Dr. Serrano explains that the increased amount of cortisol related to overtraining obstructs testosterone levels, but does not necessarily lower them. Testosterone levels are vital; being the most important male dominant hormone for increasing muscle, losing fat and that manly swagger which has proven to be important in all life pursuits. “The quickest way to naturally restore high testosterone levels is through proper diet, supplementation, rest and training. Each year I see thousands of patients who are at fault for lowering their own test levels. The answer is not steroids; rather a change in tactics and this gets people the result they were looking for all along. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around training and between meals has worked fantastically well to battle overtraining and by default improve a trainees ability to make use of their natural hormonal gifts.“ Dr. Eric Serrano What must we do to naturally restore hormone levels and get progress moving again from a training perspective? In many cases the amount of work performed by client before I intervene needs to be cut back in favor of improved intensity and new set/rep/rest/speed of movement tactics to wake up growth factors. One key is to pack more work into less time by using supersets, which alone is a powerful progression factor, but more importantly this keeps workouts to 45-50 minutes which help a great deal to maintain peak testosterone levels. The best of all worlds can be accomplished with what I call Mountain Training (each week you must progress to build the foundation for your Mountain of Muscle). We will use 4 basic compound movements with heavy loading to revive both the nervous system and hormonal levels naturally. Notice the number of sets and reps change each week, this is to capitalize on neurological adaptations the body makes from training. To make a long store short, we want to use the brain to help recruit as many muscle fibers as possible for growth. The greater the number of fibers stimulated- The greater potential for growth provided the raw materials are available. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis around workouts will provide a powerful fuel source which help to push muscles through this stressful sequence by increasing your tolerance for discomfort during exercise and peaking mental focus. These potent raw materials are absolutely necessary to kick start the repair process and make your hard work pay off.

Do you ever feel that despite all of your hard work with diet and training that progress just goes nowhere? You might even see your peers earn great results doing the same things you are which adds to the frustrations. In many cases hormones are to blame- cortisol and insulin are two huge offenders. The mid section is an easy place for the body to store fat for men, while women pack on the pounds in the lower half more frequently. Fat storage receptors are highly prevalent in these areas and are activated to store more fat by heightened cortisol levels stemming from a combination of stress factors. Stress is an ever present obstacle to success in our society is also responsible for intense cravings, poor energy levels and deterioration of muscle, but most importantly ruining insulin sensitivity- thus causing an over secretion of a potent fat storage hormone. This vicious cycle must be stopped or it will forever block you from your dream body. In a majority of cases diet and exercise is not enough to win the war, which is why the Alpha Omega and Fat Reduce were invented to facilitate fat loss ASAP. The synergistic ingredients within Alpha Omega help to optimize insulin levels removing a major fat storage bucket of sorts. Omega 3 rich supplementation is not enough, as the Alpha Omega designed and tested by Dr. Serrano contains fish oil filtrated for toxins utilizing proprietary accessory ingredient ratios to promote rapid absorption and utilization. Remember that fat cells have a greater capacity to kick out stored material (FAT) to be used as fuel when more omega 3 is consumed. You must put all of the factors together to achieve lasting success. The Zero Tolerance plan backed by a Satisfaction Guarantee* not only provides the right supplements, but a complete training and nutrition plan of attack with full technical support. Stop trying to run up hill, level the playing field in your favor and capture a permanent solution to rid yourself of unwanted- ugly body fat for good! I must get leaner! Scott you are my last hope, at 12% body fat and 210 lbs at 5’11 I look good, but not good enough in my opinion. For two years I have not been able to get to 7% and add 10 lbs no matter what I do, more work, higher reps, I have tried it all and always end up over trained before reaching my goals. I hear you are the man to talk to about getting advanced guys passed a plateau. The heart of American Success is innovation which is why I intensely focus my efforts on developing effective training systems. I do not promote a program I have not tried myself and successfully tested on numerous clients. The proof is clear! Just listen to what my clients have to say- My mission is to make this the most muscular country in the world! Specific to Shredder training- I have 12 clients who over a 60 day period dropped between 2-4% body fat and these guys were all 11% or leaner to start with, making the results even more impressive- Lean body mass was not only retained but increased by an average of 4 lbs over the same time period. Pretty impressive if I say so myself- these clients took part in individualized programs utilizing changes in grip, exercise position/angle and more based on their specific needs. Yes you need to take a different approach than the average person since you are already in a highly trained state; there can be no substitute for strategic planning as you approach your genetic limits. What used to work- no longer will as your nervous system matures. Since slashing fat and packing on muscle at the same time is your goal we will have to take a multi faceted approach to stimulate the right hormonal response. I have had reservations about making this particular routine available through an article as the level of difficulty seems to be too much for many. Short rest combined with intense triple sets allows no room for those who are just in the gym for show. What is your level of desire after a set of squats with only 10 sec rest before hitting a loaded lunge? This will test your will, but the results are worth it! Optimizing growth hinges on more than just sets and reps. The order of exercises in a workout is vital as the trainee can “pre fatigue” certain musculature with heavy loading and moderate rep speeds during one set which then optimizes the muscles for a more rapid movement pattern to break into previously untapped muscle fibers. The greater the level of muscle fiber recruitment- the more you can grow given the right recovery scenario. My consultation clients report their training progress each week which provides insight into many things, but in some cases I will have new clients perform a strength/function assessment which can help identify the weak links limiting growth. Yes strength correlates to muscle development! This is where individualization is vitally important to maximizing progress; however I will do my best to address some more common lower body deficiencies with the shredder program. This version has worked extremely well for glute and hamstring development. While all women want great glutes, they also look for well developed glutes in their male partners- commit that to memory guys! Back to the fat slashing angle, by accident I discovered what I call High Tension Cardio (HTC), one day after a workout structured similarly to the one below I sat on the bike as my legs were on fire, well I figured I might as well start pedaling and while the workout had tons of volume it was all packed into 30 minutes so I had some time to burn before my anabolic hormones began to run out. Always looking for a challenge I cranked up the tension for a more anaerobic oriented exercise, 10 minutes of cycling the tension was all I could take, after doing this for a couple weeks I advised many clients to try as well, within a month 2-3% body fat loss reports with no changes in diet were filling my email inbox. Thus HTC was born! Weight training exhausts a vast majority of your energy reserves making hard earned lean muscle and stored fat the only two options to fuel HTC training. Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis not only spares muscle, but forces the body to use more stored fat as fuel during exercise making this potent stack the perfect support mechanism for your goals. I do not recommend cardio work following training since it is well known that after about 50-60 minutes of intense exercise cortisol levels rise and testosterone plummets- a bad combination. However a short weight workout followed by a high tension ride, run etc does not violate the hormonal golden rule by keeping the combined worked under 50 minutes. Age and many other factors may reduce the window of Anabolism to as short as 30 minutes which is why I recommend Amino Loading to keep cortisol levels in check and ensure your hard work translates into the results you demand. There are some challenges to be met; while productive the shredder training combined with HTC is very tough on the system. A few clients found out the hard way trying this routine without any tools to support recovery- this is like trying to run a Stealth Bomber on watered down gasoline- not going to work! They felt burned to the crisp within a week, those who were successful used the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis heavily surrounding workouts to not only protect lean tissue but provide building blocks for new muscle. Several clients were pleasantly surprised by their lower body growth, due to the properly designed weight training routine and essentially high repetition leg work. How do you think your arms would feel if you did 1,000 or so medium load reps in 10 minutes? I bet you can easily do 1,000 wheel revolutions in that period of time leading to the practical conclusion- without the right recovery tools- do not use this program.
