Tasty High Protein Coffee Preworkout Drink

This is a simple yet tasty high protein coffee recipe that you can have before your workouts or anytime to give you a caffeine kick and a shot of high quality whey protein at the same time.

Just mix in a scoop of whey protein with your coffee. Mix it up in a large coffee mug so you have room to stir it up. The higher quality protein powder you use, the tastier the drink will be. My personal favorite whey protein is Myofusion Whey Protein by Gaspari Nutrition. This stuff tastes awesome and mixes up nice and creamy for a delicious protein drink or high protein coffee drink.

Hardgainer Project X - Mass Building For Skinny Guys

I have some good news if you are a hardgainer who is
looking to quickly pack on some solid muscular bodyweight!

You see the "Muscle Nerd" Jeff Anderson has taken a
bunch of skinny guy hardgainers and used them as his
real life human lab rats by putting them through a
crazy ecto-experiment for his new "Hardgainer Project X".

If you haven't seen his skinny "human lab rats" before
then go check them out now at:

http://www.hardgainerprojectx.net/

The gains that these guys have made are very impressive
to say the least, especially considering they all have
crappy genetics for building muscle mass.

And on the "Hardgainer Project X" website Jeff has
promised to not only reveal the AFTER PHOTOS of these
guys, but he is going to share some of the BEST TIPS and
strategies that they used to pack on pounds of solid mass.

In addition to that he's ALSO going to be throwing in
some killer "launch bonuses" for the first few skinny
guys who sign up to take part in this new project X.

So if you have been desperately trying to build a
big, buff, muscular physique with sub-par results,
then you DEFINITELY want to go and check out the new
"Hardgainer Project X" program as soon as it's launched
to see if it's a good fit for you.

I was picking Jeff's brain about it this past weekend
and asked him why this new system has produced such
rapid results for his "human lab rats" when other
muscle building programs have failed miserably for
them in the past???

And he let me in on the secret, I guess you could call
it the X factor...

Jeff said that this program was CUSTOM BUILT for the
SERIOUS "hardgainer" (i.e. the ectomorph body type).

In fact, the skinnier and more challenged a person is
with building muscle, the BETTER they responded to the
training!

So if you consider yourself "overweight", then sorry
but this is NOT what you're looking for.

However, if you are one of those guys who can't seem
to gain a pound no matter how hard you try, no matter
much food you shove down your throat. And then if you
do manage to gain anything it goes right to your
stomach, causing the "skinny fat syndrome"...

Or if you are the type of guy who misses a workout and
it feels like you can literally watch yourself shrink
away to nothing, losing any muscle you have...

Then the "Hardgainer Project X" may be the mass
building solution you've been searching for!

If you want to get a taste right now for how "different"
this program is from the other so called mass building
programs that are out there, then check out the site below:

Killer Tricep Exercise - Decline Bench Tricep Extension

This is one of my favorite tricep exercises that works the entire tricep muscle through a full range of motion. I've noticed that since adding this exercise as a staple to my tricep workouts I’ve gained a lot more size and muscle fullness to my triceps and now the side tricep pose is one of my stronger poses.

The main difference with using a decline bench vs. a flat bench is that you get a deeper stretch throughout the triceps in the bottom of the movement. Due to the angle of your upper arms you'll also place less stress on the elbow joint and more stress on the tricep muscles themselves.

If you normally do lying tricep extensions on a flat bench then I'd suggest that you give them a try on the decline bench instead. By doing this you’ll work the triceps through a deeper range of motion and help to stimulate more muscle growth.

Give them a try and then leave me a comment to let me know how it works for you.

Dumbbell Pullovers A Forgotten Chest Exercise

The pullover is an exercise you seldom see done in the gym anymore. Yet back in the "Pumping Iron" days of bodybuilding it was a staple in almost everyone's routine.

In fact, way back in the old days before the invention of bench presses with upright racks for holding the bar, guys would do a barbell pullover, lifting the bar from the floor to their chest, and then do their bench presses. But gradually over the years this exercise got pushed to the wayside and is hardly ever done by the average gym goer.

The video clip below shows a couple different pullover variations and how you can use this exercise to add thickness to your rib cage and chest.



For more info be sure to check out the full article I posted about pullovers at:

Make Your Workouts More Productive With 20 Rep Squats

One of the fastest ways to gain size and strength in the entire body is by following the 20 rep squat program. This is a simple routine that is as old as dirt, but it works awesome for fast gains, even if you are a hard gainer.

There are a several ways to implement this into your workouts. But one variation that you can use to help make all your workouts more effective is to simply add in a set of 20 rep squats before your regular workouts.

So for example, if you were going to do a chest workout just get to the gym 10 minutes early, warm up, and then start off with a couple progressively heavier sets of squats. Then take a working weight and bang out a set of 20 rep squats, after which you would just go about your regular chest workout as normal.

The reason this works so well is because you are working the big power house muscles of the legs, core, back, as well as numerous stabilizer muscles throughout your entire body. This will stimulate your central nervous system, stimulate the release of more anabolic hormones, and increase your metabolism more than you would with a straight forward bodypart isolation type of workout.
