| Dear Sports Performance Bulletin Reader, This Easter weekend you will have time to re-evaluate your training and take positive action. When your determination to become the best athlete (or coach) you can be is rewarded with the kind of success that has eluded you up until now. If you've got your mind set on getting to the next level in your sport or event, then you've come to the right place, at the right time. Peak Performance has training plans designed for the committed sportsperson like you, all of which are based in scientific FACT and designed to give you the best possible results in the optimum amount of time. No jargon. No nonsense theories. No hefty price tags. And today – as part of our Easter Target series – I'll tell you how we can help achieve a goal that'll have a BIG impact on your sporting prowess: building more muscle. I'm not talking about pure bulk, though. This is about developing muscle in an athletic way – to give you the reserves to power up in the closing stretches of a race... to overcome the opposing team on the pitch... to throw and hit harder, faster and further... to build and shape a physique that matches the demands of your sport. Give us 3 months and we'll show you the smarter way to get the power and strength your rivals can only dream of... Click here to keep your Easter Targets and pump up with the help of Peak Performance. Finally LOOK and FEEL like a winner Most sports players – whether they're serious athletes, or the 'keep fit' variety – want to gain muscle. The trouble is, building muscle is not as easy as it sounds. Many people, particularly those with a slim physique, find it hard to gain and retain muscle mass. What's more, there's so much nonsense talked about weight training nowadays that it's easy to get confused by the variety of opinions out there. Which exercises are best? How many reps and sets should one do? How often should I train each week? How do I combine strength training with my cardio-vascular training? Should I take supplements – and if I do, which ones are safe… and which are simply a waste of money? Everywhere you look, it seems someone's trying to convince you that only they know the right way to do it. It's SO confusing… That's why at Peak Performance we decided it was time to set the record straight – the best way we know how. To design a proper muscle building course ourselves, from scratch. The result: The Peak Performance 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan. What sets this program apart from the rest? In a word: science. Or, more specifically, sports science. Because at Peak Performance we've been publishing the very best sports science training tips and techniques for years – via our web site and monthly newsletter, and in a host of special reports and workbooks. So you can be sure that every word of the Muscle Builder Training Plan rests on a solid, proven scientific foundation. And that you'll get the definitive answers to such key questions as: - Which exercises are best at building muscle fast? (p. 1)

Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Building muscle – what you need to know before you lift a single weight The heart of the Muscle Builder Training Plan is a 3-month, step-by-step training programme – everything you need to know to build bigger, stronger, better balanced and more powerful muscles. Each of the three training plan months has its designated exercises and systems, designed to lift muscle growth and fitness progressively, safely and systematically. We even provide you with a pre-designed training diary form, so you can record your progress fully and accurately. But to get the maximum benefit out of all the time and effort you put into training, you first need to spend a little time getting to understand the fundamentals of muscle-building, nutrition, warming up (and warming down), getting the right balance between building muscle and cardio-vascular training. So the first section of Muscle Builder Training Plan is devoted to explaining the fundamentals of how muscles work – specifically how to train for maximum muscular development. It's essential information if you are to get the most from the plan. Here you'll learn how to target the right muscle fibre to build muscle; how to determine what's the right amount of weight to lift safely for maximum gain (too much is unsafe; too little will slow your progress); how to vary the speed with which you lift a weight in order to meet your training goals; how to vary your training so as to 'trick' your body into increasing the speed of muscle growth; and how to harness the power of growth hormones to help you gain weight. Then we explain the secrets of using different kinds of weight training 'systems', depending on the training effect you're seeking. Most weight trainers and coaches only know 3, maybe 4 of these systems. In the Muscle Builder Training Plan we detail 7 different ones. Finally we show you how, by using some simple mental 'tricks', you can boost your body's capacity for lifting weight – and gain muscle more quickly as a result. It's powerful stuff!

Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Nutrition for Optimal Muscle Gain: you are what you eat, so be sure to provide your body with what it needs If you want to boost muscle size, you need to do more than simply lift weights. As well as doing the right training you need to feed them and the rest of your body with the right nutrition. The information provided in this next section of Muscle Builder Training Plan provides you with the essential foundation of information you need to know. You'll learn how much protein and fat you need – depending on your weight and gender. You'll also learn the crucial differences between 'good' and 'bad' fats – and how to make sure you avoid the latter! Then we discuss the important issue of so-called 'micro-nutrients' – the vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants that are so crucial to building muscle mass given the additional stresses that weight training imposes on the body. We tell you which ones to take, and which foodstuffs are the best daily sources of them. Click here to go to our special, 50% discount offer. Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Weight Gain Supplements: essential ingredients of a successful program… or a complete waste of time? Few issues are more contentious in the weight lifting community than the issue of supplements. Frankly, a lot of what is said can be coloured by the commercial reality that supplements are a big industry for food manufacturers. So in the Muscle Builder Training Plan we tackle this thorny issue head-on. But we do it the scientific way – presenting the findings of sports science research into the question. Our conclusion? In a nutshell it's this: yes, some supplements can enhance your muscle building – however they will be much less effective if you do not follow a healthy balanced diet. But not all supplements are worth the effort… or the money. To find out which supplements you should consider taking – and which you can avoid – read our Muscle Builder Training Plan.

Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Combining Cardio with Weight Training: a mistake… or the route to a more powerful body? CV training improves your heart and lung efficiency, and reduces the risk of numerous diseases. However, for muscle building, too much focus could compromise muscle gain. That's because the body ends up in a 'confused state' caused by trying to train two different energy systems at the same time (the aerobic and the anaerobic). As muscle gain is the aim of the Peak Performance Muscle Builder Training Plan, your fast twitch muscle fibres need to be targeted in order to stimulate them to grow. Doing too much CV work is a bit like throwing a blanket over these attempts. So in this section we tell you how to avoid this compromise. The CV training tips and training suggestions provided in this section are designed to improve the way your body looks and to complement your muscle building weight training. In particular, the specific interval training workouts will develop some muscle mass, tone and power, as they involve fast movements and the need to overcome moderate to heavy resistance. In a way they are not that dissimilar to weight training. They're also going to elevate your metabolic rate, which, when combined with all your other workouts, will up your calorie burning on a day-to-day basis. The bottom line: training this way will contribute toward building a lean, muscled, balanced and athletic physique. Click here to go to our special, 50% discount offer. Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Warm-up and Warm-down Routines That Help You Build More Muscle The way you warm up and warm down can enhance your muscle building and improve your training consistency. The right warm-up reduces the incidence of injury and allows you to accommodate more weight. The right warm-down clears your muscles of chemicals that build up after a tough workout, such as lactate (lactic acid). Lactate is produced at all times in the body and is used to create energy. Its levels increase with exercise. However, when you perform a very intense workout its levels accumulate to a point when it can no longer be re-absorbed and re-used to create energy. A warm down will increase blood flow and start to flush the muscles of these body chemicals and reduce the potential for soreness and stiffness. But that's not all… Warming down also assists protein growth. It speeds up the growth of new muscle building protein in your recovery periods by flushing the muscles with nutrient-rich blood supplies. Stretching can assist this process and will help to elongate muscles. So in the Muscle Builder Training Plan we tell you how to construct a program for warm-up and warm-down that will help you get the best out of your 3-month program.

Or read on to learn more about the 3-month Muscle Builder Training Plan Understanding The 3 Muscle Building Workouts The final section of the Muscle Builder Training Plan is where the programme comes together. It's where we get to the nitty-gritty. Having discussed muscle building, and how best to train for it, we complete the picture by providing full details of each of the three workouts – each of them specifically designed to build on the gain of the previous month. So each of them will lift the strength, size and fitness developed in the previous routine. However, each also has its own specific exercises. Reps, sets, speed of lifting and rest periods are also noted. Complimentary CV (cardio) sessions are also identified (as described earlier) and these reflect the content of the weights sessions. NB: These will not detract from your weight training. - Month 1: Developing familiarity with 'medium weight' weights. You will lift 'medium weight' weights designed to prepare your mind and muscles for the really heavy stuff to come in months two and three. Some might think that the workouts are too easy. If you do, consider the thought that your body cannot continue to adapt day in day out, month by month. It will only do so optimally in response to a progressive training plan that alters loadings and intensities gradually and safely from month to month. The Peak Performance Muscle Builder Training Plan uses the principles of periodisation to maximise muscular adaption and growth.
- There is an emphasis on dumbbell exercises (you'll also be doing fixed weights) this month. These are included to promote balanced body development – they will also assist the development of condition that will aid your heavier lifting. This combination will build a great foundation for when you begin to lift heavy weights next month.
- Month 2: Lifting heavier – 'medium' and 'medium/heavy' weights. The intensity lifts this month and emphasis is placed on working to failure. The last rep/reps must be difficult to complete. This will push your muscles beyond previous boundaries. Simple sets are used.
- Month 3: Lifting medium to heavy weights powerfully. Simple sets are still used this month, however the main difference is the increase in speed of the lift to the 1:1 method. This, as noted in the preliminary sections, will have a more significant anabolic effect than the 1:2 and the 1:5 method. However, despite the emphasis on speed, you must maintain good lifting form to get the maximum benefit out of your efforts, and do so safely.
