Strange Mass Building Workout Trick

If your goal is to build muscle mass, one of the key factors you must know is the role various muscle fibers play in stimulating muscle growth.

For example, you have 7 total types of muscle fibers.

The major types we’re going to address now are Types I, IIa, and IIb.

Type I muscle fibers are endurance-oriented muscle fibers. They work in higher rep ranges and during aerobic exercise.

Type IIa muscle fibers work when the weight is moderate-to-heavy (e.g. 6 to 12 reps per set).
Type IIb muscle fibers are the explosive muscle fibers – low reps and heavy weight.

Now in everyday training, your body wants to conserve energy by recruiting as FEW muscle fibers as possible to get the job done,.

That means that by the end of your workout, many muscle fibers are left underworked and undeveloped.

In other words, you’re seriously missing out on a TON of muscle if you train the “normal” way most guys do!

But What If You Could Trigger A
Mass Building Explosion By Giving
ALL Of Your Muscle Fibers An Intense Workout…

…All In Just One Set?


That’s where my brutal “Triple Add Sets” come in!

Here’s how it works…

Instead of doing a “drop” set where you start heavy and reduce the weight, we’re going to start with a light weight and INCREASE the weight!

The Triple Add Set technique will first exhaust your Type I muscle fibers with light weights and high reps.

Then it will work the Type IIa muscle fibers by moving to heavier weights and moderate reps.

On the third and final part of the set, very heavy weights will be used.

Your Type IIb fibers will be activated by that.

By the time you’re done with the Triple Add Set, you will have recruited almost every available muscle fiber in the target muscle!

How To Perform This Strange Mass Building “Trick”…

Start with a light weight and do a high-rep set, e.g. 30+ reps. Your muscles will be burning. This will hit the Type I endurance muscle fibers and fill the target muscles with blood.

Rest 10 seconds to flush out enough of the waste products that have accumulated in your muscles for you to keep going. This is about the time it takes to switch weights on the machine or grab a new set of dumbbells.

Next, you’ll move on to a somewhat heavier weight (about “double-ish” what you used on the first set) and aim for about 6 to 8 reps. This will hit the Type IIa muscle fibers (the moderate-to-heavy oriented fibers).

Take 10 seconds rest again.

After that, you will do your last set with a heavy weight, going for only 1 to 3 reps. This will work on strength and connective tissue while focusing on the Type IIb muscle fibers (the very heavy and explosive fibers). This weight should be another fairly substantial increase in load.

Your muscles will feel incredibly hard and pumped up with a deep burning sensation. The effect of this type of training is immediately noticeable and VERY powerful.

It will take a little practice to figure out what weights you’ll be using.

This is a training stimulus your body will most likely NEVER have experienced before.

The first two Add Sets worked the majority of your muscle fibers – every fiber you’ve got now has to kick in and fire to move the weight in the third Add Set!

It’s extremely hard and extremely effective.

You’ll either love it or dread it but it works!
