Hey guys, from being new to the net I have noticed alot people on various boards making things so much harder than they really are.And much more complex as well.There are no secrets to gaining mass and power.They are always searching for the magic combination of drugs or some specialized workout.It of my believe that one should build a strong foundation first, by training hard heavy on very basic exercises for at least 1-3 years[why are newbies always doing cable shit?]During that time ,one should master excercise technique as well as working on obtaining the disipline of eating 6-8 marls a day.[not an easy feat by the way ,most people fail here,that's why they don't get the gains they want ,plain and simple]Over this period ,one should focus on two things that will be the determining factor other than genetics to how big one gets.Training progressivly heavier and progressivly eating more food.You should not be worring about your abs and bodyfat at this time.[you should be eating fairly clean,DC's or BigA 's recomendation 's on off-season diets are great and you shouldn't be getting too fat by following either one's ideas]But the key is forcing the body to adapt to stress.By training hard and eating more.The body has to have a reason to grow.Also trainer should be natural at this time[will thank me later if you follow this advice].,it allows you to have a good base to fall back on.Look guys like DC ,BIGA ,and myself can wiegh a clean 260 plus without even going to the gym for months and weeks at a time and still be reasonabilly hard.[I have been clean 8years and took 5 full years out the gym and never looked too bad]Why?Because DC and I built strong natural foundations first,before gearing up.[I bet BIGA did too]Too many guys hit the medicine right when they start training which a big mistake.They wonder why the shink up to nothing when they go clean!After 1-3 years of seeing if you the guts and determination to live a bodybuilding lifestyle .Then it is time to make the decision if you want to the next step into the realm of the hardcore.....which is where most if not all of the PRO MUSCLE CREW chooses to roam!
