The Best Routine I've Ever Done

"The best routine I've ever done, is the one I haven't done."

Think about that for just a minute. Let it settle in.

If you've been doing the same routine day in and day out, year after year, wonder why you aren't getting the gains you wanted... this statement should really hit home.

For starters, the more variety you can incorporate into your routines, even the smallest changes, will help:

• to prevent injury
• to avoid injury
• add to muscle confusion principles
• avoid boredom
• reduces overtraining

For all these reasons (and this list isn't even near complete), doing something as simple as adding variety to your routine will help keep your workouts interesting and your body growing.

Imagine this for a second will you?

I've been working out for 16 years. I've tried many routines. Some I liked, others I hated. But I was searching for the perfect routine. One I liked that I could just keep doing over and over and progressing.

Then it hit me!

When I found a routine I liked and stuck with it for a long period of time (2 months or more) I noticed something:

• Boredom sets in
• Repetitive injuries would occur more frequently
• My progress slowed then stopped

There's no golden routine! Too many people are set in their ways. The minute they find something they like, that's it. Done deal. They don't change. And after some months, they really don't change.

Frustration sets in, they wonder why and they hit plateaus.

But let's suppose you were like me and you just keep trying new programs and new routines.

Would it be possible not to ever hit a plateau again?

It just might be! And that should excite you. The more variety in exercises, tempos, repetition speeds you can create, the more challenging it is to you and the more progressive overload you can deliver to your body.

How does your body respond?

It grows. It cannot adapt because there's nothing to adapt to.

Here's a little test:

1. - Go to your gym
2. - Pick a person out you see often
3. - Observe them for as long as possible
4. - Do they look different? (Can you see changes)
5. - Are they doing the same things over and over?

(I see people at my gym that I know their routine. They do the same things every time I see them without fail. They look the same since they joined over 5 years ago).

Do you qualify as one of these people?

Don't worry, it's easy to avoid this if you simply follow this single tip:

* Learn as many exercise variations as you possibly can *

Why is this so important? Because if you know 300 ways to workout your legs, you will never have to repeat a workout and you will never adapt. You will not get bored as you will have many ways to workout a muscle group. Your body will be challenged. Your mind will be challenged as well.

How can you do this?

Educate yourself with as many sources as you can.

Of course you can repeat exercises.

My point is...

"The best routine I've ever done, is the one I haven't done."

Keep your routines interesting and you too can avoid the plateau that everybody else is going to be talking about!

NoBull Bodybuilding

NoBull Bodybuilding is an amazing new guide that finally tells you what to look for when beginning your fitness journey. It's a resource you can use to cut thru the hype and quickly start working on your goals.

Sure, there are tons of diets and training programs, but they simply don't apply to "newbies." They're either too scientific or the programs are designed for advanced trainees.

The advanced game is different in almost every aspect - workout frequency, training volume, recovery time and even supplementation. Until you learn proper strategy for a "beginner's physiology" and learn what mistakes to avoid, you could go the gym every day for the next 20 years and still not get the results that you want.

You're not likely to "figure out" these secrets on your own either - even the most advanced pros all had a "mentor" REVEAL these secrets to them somewhere along the path.

What has really been missing is a simple but complete system that covers all aspects of the game - nutrition, traing and supplementation - created by an experienced veteran, that ANYONE could use - even total beginners - to reach their maximum potential for muscle growth, fat loss or physical fitness in the shortest time possible.

Here is some of the critcal information every beginner must know before they start, which you will learn inside the beginners guide e-book:

• The truth about how long it really takes to gain muscle mass and lose body fat (not the fairy tales you read about in the magazines and supplement ads)


• How to avoid embarrassing yourself and looking like a "dork" the first time you work out in a gym: Instead of feeling intimidated or nervous, you'll be able to walk into the gym like you own the place (or... if you prefer to stay at home... you'll discover what equipment to buy and how to get started on a shoestring budget)


• The facts about genetics and your ultimate potential for muscle mass or leanness: Discover the truth about genetic potential and whether you will ever have a chance to look like a bodybuilder or fitness model (don't worry... it's mostly good news... but there is a catch... and you do have to be realistic... If you start with unrealistic expectations, you're going to lose motivation and sabotage yourself)


• What you can expect as a beginner if you're starting after the age of 40 (there are a few things you'll have to do differently than those youngsters - mess this up and you'll get hurt, overtrained or hormonally depleted)


• Why steroids and performance enhancing drugs are totally unnecessary... IF you understand the facts about hormonally friendly training, nutrition and supplementation (these are safe and natural methods that work for permanent gains... if you take drugs you may look great now, but what about a few years from now?)

The Beginner's Guide e-book takes all the guesswork out of learning how to lose fat, gain muscle and sculpt your body into the exact shape and proportions you want. It also ends the need for searching for days through magazines, books and websites... which is like looking for a needle in a haystack ...
