The beginning stages of a business are not only the most crucial, but they require the most grit and persistence. Unless you've already got funding, starting a business from the group up can be, for lack of a better term, fucking brutal. With that said, in this episode of the Muscle Monsters Podcast I want to go over 3 productivity tips that will almost guarantee success in any endeavor. They're the same strategies that allowed me to quit my job and work for myself, full time; and the same strategies that I use to this day, years later.

How much muscle can you gain in your first year of training? Assuming your training and nutrition are in order, 20-25 pounds would be a good guess. This is due to being hyper-sensitive to the stimulus of the resistance in the beginning stages of out training. Although anyone can expect a good deal of progress when they're new to weight training, those who take a more strategic approach can expect to maximize their results.

If you're like me, you don't really have an appetite in the morning upon rising. Unfortunately (or fortunately), this also just happens to be the time of the day you choose to hit the gym.

If you've ever dieted for a prolonged period of time, then you've likely hit some sort of a weight loss plateau. Unfortunately, most people aren't calculated enough to get through this stall in fat loss and end up quitting on their diet. Fortunately, I have a very simple solution that'll help ensure you never get stuck at the same weight, and break through any plateau you hit during your fat loss phase.

There are two things that, for a man, never seem to be big enough. One is their pecs and the other is their bench press. In today's episode we are talking to highly sought after strength coach, Kyle Hunt. If there is anyone I trust when it comes to achieving a bigger bench, it's a guy who can bench press well over double his bodyweight (390 LBS at 165 BW).

Today we speak to my good friend, newly crowned professional bodybuilder, Mike Pucci. He just recently attained two pro cards, both in huge natural bodybuilding organizations, and did it all while eating more carbs, doing less cardio, and (in my opinion) preserving more muscle mass than ever before.
