A Legendary Strength Coach's Secrets to Build Mass Fast Without Destroying Your Body.


Listen Later

Meet Dan John, author of several bestselling books on muscle mass, strength, power and pretty much anything that has to do with making yourself strong like a bull. See that picture below? That's Dan pictured with “Judy,” - his loveable field pack with 150 pounds of rock salt.

That is what Dan calls a “Carry" - and it's just one of his underground training methods to get you to be able to build mass and get strong fast.

As you may have read in my article "Exactly How I'm Going To Pack Solid, Strong, Powerful Mass Onto My Skinny Triathlon Body This Winter" or heard in the podcast "Top Workouts To Do This Winter", I'm actually using a 12 week variation of Dan's short (and simple) mass gain e-book...

...appropriately titled "Mass Made Simple".

The Mass Made Simple Interview With Dan John

[powerpress]

During today's audio podcast with Dan, you'll find out:

-the biggest mistakes people make when trying to build mass...

-the shockingly simple but effective principles behind mass made simple...

-Why Dan preaches heavy weight, high reps for mass when so many other manuals encourage medium weight, medium reps for hypertrophy...

-Why something called a "barbell complex" is so potent and effective for strength, power and mass...

-Why squats are one of the best exercises you could ever do, and why you're probably doing them wrong...

-How a mass gain program could be used by an endurance athlete or triathlete who wants to get stronger or more powerful...

-And much more!

-----------------------------------

Additional Notes & Resources

Now I have to admit, although I'm doing Dan's entire 6 week program this winter, taking a week to recover, then doing the entire 6 week program one more time, I'm adding a few components so that I stay fit enough to throw down a triathlon at the drop of the hat.

This includes: -one added, hardcore "power swim" each weekend (40-60 minutes in the water) -one added, hardcore "Sufferfest" bike each week, along with riding my bike to the gym for each workout -two short runs, tennis or basketball games each week to maintain running speed.

And of course, my usual biohacks, including things like daily cold thermogenesis, morning Core Foundation routines, and elevation training tricks. I put my entire plan on TrainingPeaks (my software and workout logging weapon of choice) including the nutrition I'll be using, supplements, and each detailed daily workout...

...so if you care to join me on my mass-gain journey based on Dan John's principles, in which myself and everyone who joins me will be posting before/after photos on the BenGreenfieldFitness Facebook page (and getting prizes for the best mass gain results) - then simply...
