If you haven’t been through “Muscle Maximisation Method” yet, I’ll bet you’re making at least one of the 4 mistakes below.

You may believe all 4 if you’ve been listening to some of the ‘gymfluencers’ out there.
They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing.
They sound wise. But they’re out there for likes not your well-being…
#1 – Keep bulking to build muscle
Large and long term bulking is not effective
It disrupts key hormones in the body and shuts your body down.
When you eat a lot (bulk) to build muscle, you eat a lot of carbs…
So you get a lot of insulin released into the body…
Insulin is a powerful growth hormone.
Sounds great right! Lots of muscle building.
But it becomes a problem.
The more insulin released into your body, the more your body becomes resistance to it.
Your cells become insulin resistant. And when insulin sensitivity drops, fat gain is inevitable.
Your body dumps the food you’re eating into fat cells.
Not muscle cells.
Long term bulking causes this and shuts your body down.
You experience lethargy, fat gain, and irritability.
I’ll give you the solution to this in tip #4
#2 – Must lift heavy to build muscle
When you life heavy you use multiple muscles.
You’re stronger, yes.
But no single muscle takes all the load. 4-6 of them share it…
So the muscle building stimulus on each individual muscle is low.
So you try and lift even heavier. Eventually what happens?…
Inevitable injury, muscle imbalances, aches, pains.
Then you can’t exercise, lose the muscle, and you’re back to square one with no muscle gained.
Instead, isolate individual muscles to place all the load onto them.
When you isolate a muscle, it is 10x weaker on it’s own.
So you can use lighter loads to get a greater muscle building stimulus.
That’s how you can build muscle with just a suspension trainer and your body weight, continuously, for life.
No more injuries, imbalances, and aches and pains.
#3 – Must do lots and lots of reps to build muscle
Muscle is built from time under tension, not rep numbers.
Here’s an example. Which do you think will build muscle quicker and better?
1 – Hitting 16 reps of a Suspension Trainer Chest Press with each rep taking 2 seconds
or
2 – Hitting 8 reps of a Suspension Trainer Chest Press with each rep taking 6 seconds
If you’re like the majority of people, you’d have said number 1.
Let’s look at the math:
1 – Hitting 16 reps of with each rep taking 2 seconds
16 reps with 2 seconds per rep = 32 seconds
That’s 32 seconds the muscle has the opportunity to be placed under constant tension.
2- Hitting 8 reps with each rep taking 6 seconds
8 reps with 6 seconds per rep = 48 seconds
That’s 48 seconds the muscle has the opportunity to be placed under constant tension.
Science tells us that muscle is built from time under tension.
Performing number 2 is the correct route.
#4 – Must workout for hours multiple times a week
What do you think is the biggest factor that causes muscle growth?
Workout structure?
Progressive overload?
Compound exercises?
Nope.
It’s insulin.
Insulin is the most powerful growth hormone their is.
Workouts are the spark, your nutrition is the fuel for muscle growth.
But your body can’t use the nutrition to build muscle if you have low insulin sensitivity.
Because your body dumps the nutrition into fat cells and not muscle cells.
Carb cycling is the answer.
That’s the secret sauce.
Carb cycling allows you to create growth spurts of muscle.
But reset your body before it’s affected by insulin resistance.
In order to get great results…
You must cycle your carb in-take to trigger growth spurts of muscle when your insulin sensitivity is at it’s best.
If you want the step-by-step guidance for carb cycling to create muscle growth spurts on repeat without gaining fat,
