POWER PYRAMID TRAINING

Do you really want to get HUGE? The key to maximizing your strength training and mass building program lies in a focused approach that combines intense weight lifting and massive caloric intake. The single goal of this regimen is unlimited anabolic muscular growth and incredible increases in strength. But becoming a freak in the gym requires more than haphazard lifting and eating. To get huge, super-strong and massively muscular requires that you follow a detailed and scientic plan. The Human Underground Growth Experiment was created to provide you with the precise tools to help you build strength and size easily. Whether you are a hardgainer, offseason bodybuilder, everyday lifter or competitive athlete, you can achieve your goals with a systematic program that guarantees results. But strap on your lifting belt and get ready to rock the house, because this program is not for the weak or timid! For the next 8 weeks, Xero Limits High-Volume Power Pyramid Training will push you to tremendous increases in muscular size and strength.

Supplementation is an essential key for promoting super-anabolic mass building and youve taken your rst step by picking up the ENGORGE/H.U.G.E. MASS Stack. These revolutionary supplements will fast-forward your mass maximizing program into hyperdrive, allowing you to pack on slabs of thick, solid muscular size faster than you ever thought possible. But as any bodybuilder knows, supplementation is designed to maximize an already nutritious diet. If youre not eating a gluttonous amount of nutritious food, youre losing your weight gain battle right from the start. Dont make the mistake of trying to pack in massive calories from junk food, either, because this will only make you fat and weak. Instead, you must consume tons of clean calories from high quality protein, complex carbohydrates and essential fats in order to gain muscular size and increase strength. This is where ENGORGE will prove to be essential, as it increases your diet to ravenous proportions and enhances your absorption of every calorie you ingest due to its revolutionary Anabolzyme digestive enzyme blend. The nal piece of the puzzle is a no-brainer pump some damn iron! But to really get huge you need a structured lifting program that addresses both muscle building and strength enhancement. The High-Volume Power Pyramid pulverizes your muscles with low and moderately high reps, heavy weights and multiple sets, all taken to total muscular failure. The goal is to cause anabolic muscular hypertrophy to the highest degree, forcing you to get bigger, stronger and more massively powerful. Get ready to get HUGE!

MASSIVE GROWTH MADE E-Z!


When I go into the gym, I have only one thing on my mind to blast my muscles with total intensity and handle as much weight as possible. If youre not gonna go full blast, dont waste your time. Building a monstrous physique takes total commitment. Sure, I could just go to the gym and train half-ass, but what good is that going to do for me? Some guys tell me they are training for maintenance whatever the hell that is but for the last 20 years, the thing thats set me apart from the crowd is that I bust my ass day in and day out. Im constantly challenging myself and setting higher goals. Im hungry to grow and Ill do whatever it takes in the gym to make it happen. Bodybuilding and training are a part of who I am, and there are thousands of hardcore iron junkies like me out there. I know I meet them every day at the many gyms where I go to pump iron. Tons of guys come to me for advice, which is what prompted me to share my Power Pyramid training techniques with freaks like you whove picked up the ENGORGE/H.U.G.E. MASS Stack. I know I can help you get bigger and grow stronger by sharing the knowledge that Ive picked up in my 20-plus years of heavy weight training. Let me tell you something the key to gaining size and strength is not in doing 1-rep max lifts every day in the gym. Even a guy like me who likes to blast the heaviest poundages possible knows that constantly going heavy is a dead end for anabolic growth. What Ive discovered is that increased volume helps to build contractile strength in the muscles, while creating signicant muscular growth. The science on this is pretty clear: Hypertrophy (growth) occurs best in the 8-12 repetition range, as long as youre repping out to total muscular failure on your work sets. So you might be surprised to see the 10-rep sets that I recommend, but this will help your growth and save your joints. Trust me, having longevity in the gym is critical to reaching your ultimate mass-and strength-building potential. But dont worry youll still be busting out plenty of heavy lower rep sets to keep your damn ego intact! Obviously, just lifting day after day isnt enough to get huge. Thats why Xero Limits has packaged my hardcore training techniques as part of the ENGORGE/H.U.G.E. MASS Stack. I know this stuff works I was a guinea pig for both products during their development by Xero Limits researchers! Using this stack helped me pack on more size and shatter the 250 lb. barrier I had been stuck at for years. With these revolutionary products I bulked up to a massive 271 lbs. And I aint fat, either!

RODNEY ROLLER SPEAKS

Bottom line: If you want to get bigger and stronger than you ever thought possible, you came to the right place. So what are you waiting for? Get your ass into the gym and start growing!

HIGH-VOLUME POWER PYRAMID


To get you started on the H.U.G.E. project, lets start by explaining the concept of High-Volume Power Pyramid Training for massive growth. This is a structured regimen based on scientically proven periodization techniques and workout scheduling. If youre not familiar with periodization, this type of scheduled training provides set lifting cycles that provide a road map to a precise goal. The Power Pyramid program is based on a hardcore iron-pumping regimen that emphasizes strength, hypertrophy (muscular growth) and anabolic mass building. This 8-week anabolic growth phase requires a vast amount of food intake and precisely dosed nutritional supplementation. Soviet Union exercise scientists who rst devised and perfected these types of training programs for Olympic athletes discovered early on that performance enhancement must be fully fueled for continued improvement. This means that intense exercise must be matched with sufcient caloric intake utilizing only wholesome, nutrient-dense food. The goal is to superload your system with nutritious food in order to create a positive nitrogen balance, sufcient energy stores and a constant anabolic environment for growth. On the supplement side, Xero Limits scientists have created the ENGORGE/H.U.G.E. MASS stack to ensure that you take in the calories needed in sufcient amounts for growth. ENGORGE is a revolutionary and highly effective appetite stimulant that allows you to eat massive amounts of calories on an ongoing basis. But even more important is ENGORGEs Anabolzyme enzyme blend that provides the precise catalysts to fully absorb all the nutrients from your mass-building meals. H.U.G.E. MASS is a precisely formulated weight gain product loaded with 675 calories, 50 grams of pure whey protein and the innovative Tri-Anabol-Peptase enzyme system. This designer enzyme system is designed to digest and assimilate the nutrients in this delicious weight gainer. Take 2 daily doses of ENGORGE with meals and 2 or 3 H.U.G.E. MASS shakes each day and youll be quickly on your way to enormous gains in size, strength and muscle mass. Embrace these three phases of the H.U.G.E. initiative (high-volume training, high calorie input and precise Xero Limits supplementation) and you will soon be on your way to immense gains in bodyweight, lifting strength and muscle mass!

WHAT IS HIGH-VOLUME TRAINING?

olume is the amount of total work you perform in a given workout. It can apply to specic exercises, body parts or your full training session. It is often referred to as time under load. Increasing volume is one method of making a workout more intense and causing greater overload on the working muscle groups. If you compared a heavy low rep workout with a moderately heavy higher rep session, you would see that set-for-set, the heavier workout would have less overall volume. Its easy to see 3 sets of 3 equals 9 total reps, while 3 sets of 6-10 would yield 18-30 total reps. Simple, right?

Well, high volume alone isnt the answer to anabolic growth to the massive proportions that youre looking for. If it was, you could do 1 set of 30 reps with a light weight and just go home! Yet even the girl working the front desk at your gym knows you have to go heavy sometimes to make your muscles grow. But 3-rep sets day in and day out arent the answer, either. The secret to consistent strength and mass gains is to train both heavy and with higher volume but always in perfect lifting technique. The Power Pyramid does this by combining work sets to near failure in the 60% or 70% range of your 1-rep max. So if you can bench press 300 lbs. at the start of the program, that means you might be doing lots of sets at 180 or 210. Yeah, it doesnt sound like much, but the incremental increases will tax your muscles early on in your workout. Then, in true pyramid fashion, youll move up in weight to 80% or 85% of your max weight (depending on the training session) for as many as 6 reps. So this would mean 240 or 255 for some sets. No more daily singles, doubles or triples! The heavy sets will stress your muscles and cause greater micro-trauma, which will lead to more growth. But the lighter sets will push more blood into the cells and bring nutrients, causing a tremendous pump while helping to clear lactic acid following the set. Thats why each workout ends with a downset for both Prime (compound) or Assistance (typically isolation) exercises. Not a ton of reps, but enough to take you to total muscular failure in the 5-8 repetition range. Overall, youll see that between the carefully prescribed Prime and Assistance exercises and the scientically designed set and rep ranges will cause constant muscle overload leading to growth.

BACKGROUND BASICS
Before you dive into the H.U.G.E. project or the Power Pyramid program, you must understand that this type of super-intense lifting regimen requires a total commitment in order to succeed. This means that you cannot miss workouts, skip meals, forget your daily supplement requirements or enter the gym with anything less than a take no prisoners attitude. Those lifters without a serious mindset may not achieve the goals they set for themselves. Targeting an intense weight gaining cycle in the gym is like anything else in life if you dont commit to it completely, youll fall short of your nal objectives. To really bust your ass and achieve any meaningful strength and mass-building goals, you have to create an overwhelming anabolic environment in your body. Testosterone is key to maximizing the hormonal engine that causes muscular growth. Xero Limits NOVATEST provides a new bio-engineered anti-aromatase technology that cranks up test levels and crushes estrogen. Its exclusive Tri-Methyl-Flavone Complex and QuickTek Transmucosal Delivery System will push your physique to new levels of strength and muscular size than you ever thought possible. And before you hit the gym, you want to be absolutely certain that you wont waste a second under the iron. EPO BLAST provides the power of the blood volume building hormone EPO (erythropoietin) with a nitric oxide blend to push more blood through your vasodilated veins. Its Psychotropic Energizers will blast you into a state of intense focus and energy needed to push heavy iron set after set while the betaalanine and creatine combo will enhance muscle torque and power while speeding recovery. EPO BLAST will ignite and prime your body for this super-intense workout program every day. The goal of any fully functional lifting and conditioning program should be to strengthen your entire body. This should be an all-encompassing routine that targets your least-favorite body parts as much as those prized ones you like to show off. In other words, dont skip legs or blow off calves or abs because youre too focused on increasing your bench or building your arms. Even your weak points must be targeted. And with this high-volume program they are guaranteed to improve. The Power Pyramid program is a complete regimen that must be followed as strictly as possible to ensure massive gains in size and strength. As stated earlier, you must be committed to regularly scheduled food intake and supplementation to make this program work. The worst step you can take is launching into highly intense strength training without matching up the fuel intake required to cover your caloric expenditures and nutritional requirements. The last thing you want is to lose weight and strength at the end of this intense 8-week program because youre not ingesting enough calories and muscle-building nutrition. You will nd more about eating and timing of food and supplements later in this handbook, but remember that your body is a machine that needs premium food to operate efciently.

RECORD KEEPING
Record keeping is a requirement of any structured weight lifting program, especially the Power Pyramid. It is impossible to map out where you are going and the strength and mass gains youre experiencing if you dont know where you started or dont catalog each days progress. So be sure to pick up a spiral notebook and take notes each day or just download the training logs at getXL.com/huge.html. Include sets, reps and resistance used, length of rest periods and how you feel. As you do for your workout regimen, it is critical for you to create separate entries each day for your food and supplement intake. This is essential to ensure that you eat enough. Believe it or not, most weight gain programs are unsuccessful because insufcient food and calories are being taken in. As weve been saying from the start, to Get Big you have to Eat Big!

For your Food Log (shown later in this booklet), be sure to list calories, grams of each macronutrient, meal times, supplements taken and when, and notes on food intake. Here you can typically identify trends, such as if you dont eat on a scheduled basis or you have problems digesting certain foods. However, the use of ENGORGE with its Anabolzyme scientically designed enzyme blend will ensure that your largest capacity meals will be digested easily and the nutrients assimilated completely. It will also guarantee that your appetite stays ravenous and that youre ready to eat again in 2-3 hours, so you keep your anabolic growth going strong. A sample Training Log entry is found below:

HIGH-INTENSITY POWER PYRAMID TRAINING


OVERVIEW: POWER PYRAMID STRUCTURE
Bodybuilding, as it turns out, represents a two-headed monster of sorts. On the one hand, you have to be very regimented in terms of careful training and daily calculations of dietary intake in order to achieve set goals for specic outcomes (winning a contest, for instance). But on the other hand, most guys like you train more by feel or instinct than athletes in all other major sports. For example, NFL football players usually spend part of the off-season following carefully scripted strength and size building programs, but switch to position-specic training for speed and power closer to offseaon mini-camps. Then they return to heavy lifting for several weeks before preseason camp, and maintain conditioning and explosive strength during the season. There is denitely a method to their training madness. However, most bodybuilders never plan beyond their next competition. This mindset helps them to stay focused and rev up training based on specic goals, but it also negates any real long-term progress. A lack of clear goals prevents improvements in mass building year after year because there is never enough emphasis based on long-term strategy. As a result, competitors often hit the stage show after show at the same weight, size and condition. Year after year they look pretty much the same or worse yet they get harder but are noticeably smaller. This is more body maintenance than bodybuilding! Escaping this vicious cycle is what prompted Rodney Roller to follow trainer extraordinaire Oscar Ardons advice and embark upon a super-intense mass building phase in his training via the H.U.G.E. initiative. The end result? Rodney gained an unprecedented 21 lbs. of monstrous muscle and grew signicantly in both size and strength. If you want to experience the same mass building success, you must use the same revolutionary Power Pyramid program that helped Rodney pack on the mass. This precise design of this scientic lifting plan is intended to alter weight loads, volume, repetitions, intensity and rest periods in order to keep your progress going strong.

YOUR FOCUS: BUILDING STRENGTH & SIZE


The focus of the Power Pyramid is increased strength and additional muscular growth. As you undoubtedly know, the muscles must be adequately overloaded on a continuous basis in order to grow. A higher degree of overload causes microtrauma within muscle tissue that leads to increases in size and ber count during the healing process. So while its true you actually grow between workouts, it is the intensity of each training session that forces your muscles to overcome the stresses placed on them set after set. It should be clear that improvements in strength and muscle size go hand in hand. This is basic physiology. And remember: Your goal in being part of the Human Underground Growth Experiment is to pack on muscle size not to get shredded. So for the next 8 weeks buckle up your belt, pack in more calories than ever and get ready to grow! The goal of the Power Pyramid program is to raise your workouts to a new level, pushing you toward greater strength and increased muscular size and development. At the same time, volume is kept fairly high to allow for supercompensation after workouts, allowing for improved muscular recovery and growth and to help you avoid overtraining.

COMPLETE 8-WEEK PROGRAM FOR MASS BUILDING


The Power Pyramid is a very intense and precisely designed 8-week program for building massive muscular size and strength. It is modeled after hypertrophic growth and strength phases of the traditional Soviet periodization programs and is laid out in a very specic manner. By taking the so-called instinctive training element out of the equation which is often nothing more than an excuse for lifters to push the exact same weights or ease up on training when they dont feel like going hard the Power Pyramid program will ensure that you maximize your bulk up phase. In other words, the regimen offers the potential for you to build massive muscular size and increase your strength in all lifts in just 8 weeks. In order for you to get started, you simply need to log on to www.getXL.com/huge.html. Here youll nd the complete training guide laid out in daily workout plans that you can download and ll out while youre hitting it hard in the gym. It will take the guesswork out of your program, offering precise set recommendations, required repetition ranges for greatest success and percentages of your 1-rep maximum lifts for you to use to calculate the appropriate weights for each lift. Its a science-proven, foolproof plan for massive anabolic growth. Once you look at week 1s schedule, youll notice that your rst step is to perform 1-rep maximum (1RM) tests for every exercise the Power Pyramid lays out. Every guy loves to max out on bench, but have you ever tried maxing out on dumbbell curls or leg extensions? That week alone will blast your body like youve probably never experienced and will set the tone for the highly intense weeks to follow. Remember, your goal is to bulk up with gigantic mass and superhuman strength in the shortest period possible (8 weeks), so you have to go hard every single day. Once you have the 1RMs established from your tests, you simply visit the Xero Limits website and download your training log for the complete week. Each day, calculate your goal weights based on percentages of your max as shown on the workout log daily sheets. Then write in reps you hit next to the goal reps that are listed. This provides you with an idiot-proof plan for 8 weeks of the most intense, hardcore workouts guaranteed to build muscle and strength. The terminology might be unfamiliar, but its simple: Prime (P) exercises would be your main multi-joint movements, such as bench presses, squats and pulldowns, which bodybuilders usually refer to as compound exercises. The Assistance (A) exercises are typically single-joint movements like cable crossovers and curls that bodybuilders typically call isolation exercises. The program is laid out carefully for you in terms of specic exercises. This will ensure balanced muscular development for greater growth potential. You can deviate to a certain degree based on available equipment or pre-existing conditions or injuries, but dont just arbitrarily change exercises day-to-day or week-to-week. For instance, you could perform dumbbell shoulder presses instead of barbell military presses or lying horizontal machine squats instead of hack squats. You will notice that the Power Pyramid introduces variation after the fourth week to give you a new boost in strength and mass-building potential and also avoid stagnation. The Power Pyramid takes all the confusion out of what exercises and set/rep ranges work best. Its all laid out for you in black and white. Just print out the workout logs each day and ll in your personal weight loads based on calculating percentages of your 1RMs for each exercise. And then just get into the gym and bust your ass!

1-REP MAXIMUM LIFTS KEY TO PROGRESS


At the start of the program, it is essential to calculate your maximum weight single repetitions (1RM lifts) for all exercises and use these to readjust your workout poundages for the coming weeks. All too often, lifters press the same weights over and over, workout after workout. This leads to stagnation and a lack of long-term growth. It also causes your muscles to adapt to the stress of the work load. Planned variation, on the other hand, causes your muscles to respond, which forces you to get stronger and bigger. But the good news is that most iron maniacs love to do 1-rep maxes (at least on their bench press), so doing so for all exercises at the start of the Power Pyramid should prove to be an interesting alteration of basic training programs. What this means is that on Monday of the rst week, you must perform single-rep maximums of every lift in Workout 1, and thats it. Youll nd this is quite different from what youre probably used to, as even the most hardcore iron freaks dont max out on curls or calf raises. But to correctly calculate the weights required for every exercise for the next 8 weeks, you absolutely need to do this. On Tuesday, youll do the same with the Workout 2 exercises. Take Wednesday off and then perform single-rep maximums for Workout 3 on Thursday. Finish the week with 1RM lifts for all the movements of Workout 4. Trust us Saturday and Sunday will be welcomed days off from the gym! Be sure to record all your 1RMs in a notebook. Youll use these to calculate the percentage weights for every workout. Each day, jot down the poundages and reps you perform on each movement to track your progress. All 1-rep maximum tests require sufcient warm-ups, to ensure that your muscles are strongest and you avoid injury. You also want to be sure to take your EPO BLAST 15 minutes before these testing workouts to keep your intensity high these are ass-busting sessions! For prime (P) exercises, be sure to include 3-4 warm-ups before attempting a single. For assistance (A) work, do 2-3 warm-up sets. If you feel uncomfortable attempting a 1RM for certain exercises, you can calculate the correct load based on 10- or 5-rep maximums with this formula: If you can do 10 reps at a given weight (going to failure), you can single approximately 40 percent more. In other words, a 10-rep max with 100 lbs. would equal a single of about 140 lbs. For a 5RM at any load, you should be able to 1RM about 25 percent more (100 lb. 5RM equals a 125 lb. 1RM).

RODNEY ROLLER GETS H.U.G.E.


Rodney Raw Power Roller is living the bodybuilding dream hes massively strong and hes an extremely popular bodybuilder. Rodneys hardcore Xero Limits mentality is what drives him to be the biggest, most powerful guy around. But he also hides a secret hes never been able to get as big as he wants to be. Even when hes bulked up to 250 lbs. of raw mass, he just cant eat enough mass-building calories to reach higher levels of both bodyweight and strength. To take his physique to the extreme boundaries of freaky size and insane power, he turned to master trainer Oscar Ardon. Oscar took one look at Rodneys diet and immediately told him he simply wasnt eating enough calories to pack on the mass he needed to reach his fullest physical potential. Oscars required caloric intake for growth was a whopping 6,500 clean calories. Rodney was immediately demoralized, as hes always had trouble eating enough calories to break the 250 lb. barrier due to the sheer volume of food and total calories this required. He just couldnt stomach numerous huge meals and there werent any weight gainers he tried that didnt cause digestive problems. Packing in over 6,000 calories a day seemed like an impossible benchmark, but the word cant isnt in Rodneys vocabulary so he was going to make it happen or die trying. As luck would have it, Xero Limits researchers were diligently working on a highly condential project called H.U.G.E. (Human Underground Growth Experiment). H.U.G.E. is a monumental mass building project like no other and turned out to be just what Rodney needed. He was so excited he immediately volunteered to be a test subject and undergo a colossal size building H.U.G.E. transformation. After only 10 weeks of heavy training and gluttonous food consumption, Rodney packed on 21 lbs. and bulked up to a massive 271 lbs. His H.U.G.E. transformation is momentous, but not an anomaly. Every participant in the H.U.G.E. initiative is enjoying tremendous gains in size, mass, body weight and strength. And there are more opportunities for other bodybuilders craving bigger muscles and massive bodies. Read on to nd out more!

TEST SUBJECTS PACK ON SERIOUS MASS


After my last bodybuilding contest, I wanted to pack on some serious mass. Im lucky that I am not a hardgainer, but lling out my tall frame and getting as big as I need to be for offseason muscle gains can be difcult. So after the Eastern USA, I went back to my bulk-up phase and was able to gain 25 lbs. before I hit a plateau and just couldnt add any more size. Thanks to some inside information from Rodney Roller, I was introduced to the H.U.G.E. initiative and had the opportunity to try ENGORGE and H.U.G.E. MASS. Four weeks later, Im weighing a thick and hard 285 lbs. the biggest Ive ever been! But Im not fat at all, which is the biggest surprise. Im stronger than ever and cant believe how great I feel. This Xero Limits stack is the real deal!

When Im not pumping iron or doing strongman lifts, I run a vending machine company and carrying vending machines is a real workout! All the lifting and hard work makes it tough to maintain my weight, much less bulk up. Thats why the H.U.G.E. project was such a great thing for me. Thanks to ENGORGE, my appetite is bigger than ever and Im chowing down tons of great food so I keep growing. And the H.U.G.E. MASS is the best weight gainer Ive ever used. It tastes awesome and is packed with calories so I never have to worry about a missed meal killing my mass building progress. Im the heaviest and strongest Ive ever been and I just keep growing!

Because I work out regularly with Rodney Roller, I cant afford to be small or weak or hell kick my ass. Keeping up with him is priority #1 because thats what it takes for me to maximize my own size and strength. When Rodney started his new mass building push for an IFBB pro card, he invited me to use the same ENGORGE/H.U.G.E. MASS product stack. Right from the start I could feel my muscles swell as I watched the numbers on the scale go up. Im able to eat more food without feeling like a stuffed pig and I take two H.U.G.E. MASS shakes a day to increase my total caloric intake. Im packing on size like never before and now weigh 250 lbs. This is the biggest Ive ever been and theres still room for me to ll out and get stronger. Call me a Freak if you will, but thats a compliment!

Squats are the king of all exercises. Squatting causes release of anabolic hormones like testosterone and GH, helping your body to grow.
Power Pyramid training is set up with a step-progression technique, which calls for 4-5 increasing weight-load weeks followed by a lighter week for muscular regeneration. Weights used will typically be in the 70-90% of 1RM range, which will increase nerve ring in the muscles, bringing more explosive power. When youre resting after training, the hypertrophy (growth) process will build the size of muscular tissue and make you look bigger and harder. As your training becomes more intense, concentrate on maintaining precise exercise form and count your reps. Be sure to rest for the recommended time periods between sets to adequately recharge muscular energy. On non-training days, stay out of the gym completely. Finally, you will notice that the prescribed exercises change beginning in week 5. This is to guarantee that your mind stays fresh and you can push yourself to the limit for each workout.

POWER PYRAMID TRAINING IMPORTANT POINTS:


Record all 1RMs, percentages and lifts/reps for each workout in a notebook.

Do not skip any workouts and do not alter the weight or repetitions from whats prescribed. Base all lifts on your 1-rep max for every exercise, or the estimated 1RM based on 5RM or 10RM formulas. Take each set to momentary muscular failure, but be sure to use precise form on every rep. If you need assistance, enlist a spotter. If you cannot perform the prescribed reps, adjust the weight slightly for the next set. Allow for 3-4 minutes rest between sets. Do not skimp on your supplement regimen, as these are scientically designed to enhance the lifting program. Mix EPO BLAST in your water bottle and drink prior to workouts for optimal training intensity due to its blood boosting technology and psycho-energizers. Take your nutritional supplements even on non-training days, as this is when recovery and anabolic growth takes place. NOVATESTs bio-engineered anti-aromatase technology will help keep your muscle building testosterone levels high enough to force you to grow, while EPONOXs EPO and nitric oxide matrix will speed recovery due to its vasodilating effects for better nutrient delivery and lactic acid clearing. Your lifting program should also focus on other performance attributes that cannot be identied through appearance or mass gain alone. These include maximizing the integrity and exibility of connective tissue (through full range of motion for each movement), power endurance and cardiovascular endurance.

RODNEY ROLLERS BENCH PRESS TRAINING PROGRAM


Everybodys always asking me about my bench press program, which is understandable because its my best lift. Ive always been pretty strong on the bench, but Ive pushed my training to the limit in order to increase my strength and 1-rep max. My best single is 630 lbs. raw no benching shirt or other crap. Its just me battling against the weights. Ive also pushed 315 lbs. for 36 reps and 405 for 22, so I know a little something about high-volume training! The rst step in building your bench press is to use some of the techniques Ive developed over the years to concentrate your effort on one thing pushing that damned bar off your chest. No matter what, dont cheat when you exercise. Remember, the goal of pumping iron is to get both big and strong. Using lousy form might help you press or curl a little more weight, but youre not stimulating muscular growth if youre bouncing the bar off your chest or pushing your hips upward in a Golden Gate bench press technique! For starters, squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lie on the bench. This will push your chest upward and reduce the distance the bar has to travel. It will also force the effort into your pecs, which is where you want it. Next, after placing your butt on the bench, inch your glutes back toward your shoulder blades to create an arch in your back. Although you dont want to lift your hips to the sky, you do want to create that lower back arch to put your pecs in a better mechanical position to lift heavier weight. The idea is to have your whole torso very tight and in best position for pressing power. Another great tip is to spread your feet fairly wide and then push with your feet as you squeeze your hips and glutes. Believe it or not, lots of benching power comes from your hips and legs. The harder you can squeeze your butt and push down with your feet, the heavier the weight youll be able to press. Last, I like to pretend Im bending the bar as I lower it to my chest. This is almost like squeezing your elbows and shoulder blades backward as youre lowering the weight. What this does is keep your shoulder blades sqeezed together for better biomechanical positioning, while also causing your pecs to stretch more comfortably so you can explode back upward after the bar touches your chest. Training heavy should be a systematic process. You cant do singles and doubles over and over again and expect to get bigger or stronger. Eventually your muscle growth will stagnate and youll end up with some type of shoulder injury. And thatll kill your progress. There are certain times of the year I hit freakin heavy weights, and others when I rep the hell out of each exercise. No matter what, Im busting my ass full tilt. I go hard all the time the only thing that changes is the rep ranges and weight. If you do the same with my Power Pyramid training system, youll get the same great results. And maybe one day Ill be seeing you benching 600 in the gym!!!

Going 110% all the time like I do requires central nervous system rest, so cycling your training is an absolute necessity!

Note: Rodneys 1-rep maximum (1RM) would be 630 lbs., so lifters with a different 1RM can follow his program exactly by calculating percentages of their own max lifts, using the example above. By doing so, you can integrate his exact program into the chest day of your High-Volume Pyramid Program. However, because of his incredible 1-rep max strength, he requires additional warm-up sets just to get to the working sets of his session. So be careful not to overtrain by doing excessive sets. In addition, Rodneys current program involves dropsets from his last weight lifted in order to maximize volume and improve his muscular endurance. Use great care with regard to exercise form if you decide to incorporate dropsets into some of your workouts.

RODNEYS RAW POWER TIPS


FOCUS: Periodization taken to failure! A workout without structure wont keep you getting stronger or bigger. REST PERIODS: I rest just enough time for lactic acid burn to go away. Partner training should be just enough time for him to do his set, then you go except heavier sets, you can wait a minute or two longer for regeneration. Max rest periods should be 2-3 minutes tops on heavier sets. If you are training for a max or attempting a max that day, you can take longer periods (5 minutes). But this is not a regular thing. The goal is to boost volume! SUPPLEMENT TIP: With EPO BLAST you can train much faster! It denitely helps with recuperation between sets and energy for training. I take EPO BLAST before every workout.

FUELING YOUR HIGH-VOLUME POWER PYRAMID PROGRAM


Nutrition, supplementation and rest will naturally play a big role in the 8-week Power Pyramid anabolic cycle, and must be included to make sure the multi-phase H.U.G.E. program is successful. As you experience systematic improvements in size, weight and strength, you should have a corresponding nutrition and supplementation plan that matches the physiological demands of hardcore heavy training. As a result, special attention must be placed on total caloric needs, macronutrient percentages, micronutrients, water and ergogenic supplements. As a hardgainer lifter looking to bulk up, you cant afford to be too lean or too depleted during your 8-week intense program. Your ultimate goal is to nish the 8-week cycle at your strongest, most powerful and presumably most fully fueled state. The lean, tight physique of a competitive bodybuilder isnt what you want, so nutrient loading should be of primary concern during this regimen. Your consumption of protein, carbs and fats should be shifted in favor of moderately high carbs and protein to account for the higher load lifted. Overall calorie consumption should be high (as prescribed in the H.U.G.E. weight gain diets) and supplementation is critical. In addition, research has shown the importance of consuming BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) during high power output activities to encourage anabolic muscle tissue growth. Fortunately, H.U.G.E. MASS is packed with 50 grams of whey protein and added BCAAs to fuel your hard training and feed your growing body.

Conclusion
Hardcore lifters pushing mind-blowing tonnage in the gym require signicant amounts of protein, amino acids and complex carbohydrates. The Power Pyramid program takes this into account by prescribing a macronutrient ratio of 40-45% carbs, 3035% protein and 20-25% healthy fats for fast weight gain and maximum progress in the gym. The recommended carbohydrates should come from complex sources such as whole grains, wheat pasta, whole grain rice, sweet potatoes and the like. Protein should come from low fat food sources such as lean cuts of red meat, chicken breast, turkey breast and fresh sh as the recommended food choices. In addition, the H.U.G.E. MASS weight gainer drink provides a whopping 50 grams of highly bio-available whey protein and a specially designed enzyme matrix for optimum utilization. Speaking of fat, the remaining 20-25% of your caloric intake should include healthy fats such as axseed oil, sh oils, MCTs and CLA. These fats are essential for joint health and hormonal balance for continual anabolic growth.

DIETARY RECORD KEEPING


Your diet, just like your training program, requires careful record keeping. This will keep you honest about weight gain blunders like skipping meals or not eating on time. Your main goal must be to force feed yourself with massive amounts of protein, carbs and healthy fats in excess of anything youve tried up to now. Remember, you wont grow if youre not eating enough. So while taking ENGORGE with two of your big meals is critical for your mass building success, not eating every meal on time or skipping one altogether will doom your progress. A sample diet log can be found below. Notice the entries for meals where ENGORGE is supplemented. The macronutrient lists are rather precise, but you should keep as careful records as possible to make sure youre not taking in too many carbs and not enough protein, or vice versa. Either mistake can slow your weight gain or worse yet, allow you to bulk up with pounds of useless fat that wont make you strong or look better.
