Hey guys,
I just had to share an underground video I just checked out explaining a pretty cool muscle growth technique called: "INTENTIONS"
A little while ago Jimmy (my training partner) once told me his philosophy when it came to building muscle. He said "Rich, think of your muscles as being a wet sponge. And with every exercise you do it's like squeezing that sponge out. So with that being said in order to build muscle the goal of your workout should be to squeeze ALL THE WATER you possibly can out of that sponge when you're in the gym"
What Jimmy was talking about was putting the maximum amount of TENSION on your muscles during each exercise.
FACT: The only way to build muscle is to create the greatest amount of "tension" or torque in a muscle within a given period of time.
Putting the "maximum" amount of tension your muscles is tough. And if you don't know what you're doing or how to do it then your results will suffer.
In fact if you have a lagging or "stubborn" body part then this might be the answer you're looking for because the video below explains not only why you have lagging body but also how to fix it... with an "underground muscle growth technique called INTENTIONS.
Ben Pakulski Explaining INTENTIONS
The guy in the video is Ben "Pacman" Pakulski (an IFBB Pro Body Builder). I was actually on my way to attend a fitness seminar to meet him as well as a few other Pro Fitness Models and learn some tricks of the trade.
Unfortunately, my trip was scheduled on the same weekend of Hurricane Irene and I had to cancel. But I was so eager to go that I was literally 2 seconds away from hopping in my car to try and outrun the storm just so I could attend the seminar (fortunately my sister and cousin helped talk me out of it)
But that's how much I respect Ben Pakulski and the body building advice he gives.
Ben actually has a free ebook called: 5 Tricks to Double Your Gains
I've read it, and I highly recommend you check it out. Make sure you read:
Page 10: Being Obsessed with...
and Page 24: Not Understanding Muscle...
Because those two sections definitely gave some "AH HA" moments on things that I going to apply the next time I go to the gym. And I have a feeling those will help you out the most as well.

Great little piece! I do agree with the “tension” aspect of building muscle. I just refer to it as the amount of stress placed on the muscle fiber during a specified time! But I think tension and stress are so closely related that there is not that much difference in the 2! Put it this way; they will both build muscle if the principles in Ben’s book are applied properly!
Awesome!
