These 10 reasons reveal the problems you MUST FIX if you want to unlock the key to massive gains... and it will only take you 5 short minutes a day to reset your digestion, stop crapping cash & start building dense & ripped muscle faster
Below, in no particular order, you'll find 10 hidden problems, and you'll also discover how easy it can be to turn your bodies internal 'muscle-building switch' back to the permanent "ON" position, which means you can grow without plateau…
1. You have poor digestive health.
The chief cause of this poor digestion is a serious lack of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes that our digestive system needs to function, which leads to poor absorption of more vitamins and minerals and enzymes. It's a nasty cycle, but it can be broken by both cleansing our digestive tracts and taking in plenty of plant-based nutrients. When your digestive system is unable to absorb the enzymes, vitamins and minerals in your food, the micronutrients you are getting (including the ones you get from expensive vitamin supplements) are literally going down the toilet... along with your time and money.
2. You're dehydrated.
Research has shown that a 1.5 percent decrease in water loss resulted in a decrease in muscle strength and muscle strength is an important trigger for boosting muscle growth. Given that such a small amount of water loss can compromise strength, staying hydrated can help you keep your strength and gain muscle over the long haul. Dehydration also accelerates muscle breakdown, slows recovery and disrupts digestion. It would be in your best interest to NEVER become dehydrated if you desire a strong and defined body up the road.
3. Your body is chronically inflamed.
Chronic inflammation must be avoided all all costs. Regardless of it's cause, chronic inflammation stops muscle growth (and can even lead to muscle loss). It has been shown that chronic inflammation negatively alters the signaling processes that are necessary in rebuilding and repairing muscles. Chronic inflammation is detrimental to every process and function in our body, particularly healing, including healing muscles. Stress plays a key role in propagating chronic inflammation. You can learn a simple strategy on the next page to keep chronic stress to a minimum.
4. You're aging faster.
Generally, muscle mass declines with age, starting around 40 and picking up speed after age 50. The major culprits are a lack of exercise, poor nutrition, hormonal changes and bodywide inflammation. All of these causes can be attacked with our simple 5-minute super nutrient uploads on the next page.
5. You can't recover from workout-to-workout.
Training alone does not build muscle. Training, in fact, breaks down muscle. Muscles need time to repair and rebuild, and working out before you're recovered can lead to further muscle breakdown instead of building. Unfortunately, many guys actually get smaller and weaker over time because they continue to train without optimal recovery. Don't believe me? Think about the majority of people in your gym. Do they really look any different than last year? On the next page you'll learn the easiest recovery ritual so that you don't remain the same…
6. Your body is too acidic.
A high-protein diet, which is an essential part of gaining muscle, actually puts your body into a more acidic state. When the amino acids in proteins are broken down, they release a great deal of phosphorus and sulfur, which are highly acidic. Your body uses alkaline foods to help balance this acid, but if you're not eating enough alkaline foods (mainly plant foods, especially greens), your body will pull resources right out of your muscle tissue, such as glutamine. Your body will actually break down existing muscle tissue to free up that glutamine, which is exactly the opposite of what you're trying to accomplish by working out and eating all that protein. Super nutrient uploads will allow you to take in an enormous amount of alkaline plant foods so that your pH is optimized for muscle growth and you can read about how we give you a head-start on the next page.
7. Your liver is taxed with toxicity.
Your liver is the brain of your body and it must work right for your metabolic and fat burning ability to be normal and healthy. Your body needs specific lipotropic nutrients which help fat flow out of your liver and other nutrients to play a supportive role in clearing out toxins from environmental stressors and processed foods that can stall the fat loss needed to strip off the fat covering your lean and defined muscles.
8. Your workouts lack intensity.
This one should be self-explanatory but maybe not… Intensity is the single most important factor for getting favorable results and it's critical your muscles are experiencing forceful muscular contractions. The higher intensity you can generate, the great stimulation for muscle growth but the key is to do this progressively and continually and this will never happen when your body is deficient in any micronutrient. Remember, your body is only as good as your weakest link.
9. Your immune system is suppressed.
Muscle building itself is an immune response. You work a muscle to fatigue, causing tiny tears or micro-fissures in the muscle tissue and your body repairs them. Do you realize that those tears are basically an injury? Which system repairs injuries? Your immune system. BUT, your immune system is a complicated one and there are a lot of factors that influence how well and how quickly your body repairs (builds) that muscle tissue. For instance, your immune system triages its resources. It is like a gun, and vitamins and minerals are the bullets it uses to wipe out anything that is harming your body. It prioritizes the use of those vitamins and minerals and the truth is that your immune system doesn't really care much about your bodybuilding goals making it all the more important to follow the advice on on the next page.
10. Your hormones are out of whack.
Part of the reason you've stopped gaining muscle is because your hormones are way out of balance, especially insulin, cortisol and testosterone. High levels of insulin in your bloodstream stimulate your body to store glucose as fat instead of converting it into glycogen and getting it into your muscles to be burned as fuel. High cortisol levels prompt your body to store more fat, especially in your abs. Low levels of testosterone prevent you from building lean muscle and keep you from gaining mass no matter how good your workout protocol is.
