1. Undertrain. In other words, only train each muscle group every five to seven days.
Only do one set to failure per exercise, that s it. I really believe that doing multiple sets
to failure of same exercise can cause unnecessary wear and tear. Typically, I will do 4 6
working sets per exercise, but many of the sets are warm up sets to be prepared for the
final difficult set.

2. Focus on compound multi-joint movements for overall development. Be careful with
exercises such as flies and lateral raises. In my opinion, these took their toll on my
shoulders when I was younger. Looking back, I would have focused primarily on compound movements.

3. Eat and supplement to get minimum .8 grams protein per pound of bodyweight. Supplement with vitamins as necessary.

4.Get at least nine hours sleep per night.

5. Take off every six to eight weeks with seven to ten days out of the gym. I know it
sounds crazy, but this works for me.

6. Be realistic. If you are 5′9″ tall, you are not going to weight 300 pounds with 5%
bodyfat. Deal with it. I am this height and have only managed to put on 40 pounds of
true muscle steroid free. There are physical limits to muscular development.

7. Do not use steroids, insulin, hgh or other similar androgens. They will destroy you in
so many ways if you are not careful. Also, once you take them, you cannot maintain the
gains while on them. It is physiologically impossible. You will always have to blast and
cruise for the rest of your life. Or you will have to do 2 cycles per year to maintain.
There are some real risks that you will not even know about until you reach your 40s,
then it is too late sometimes. They wreak havoc on your kidneys, liver and other
systems over time.
