Look. If maximum muscle gains is your goal, working out with anything less than one hundred percent intensity of effort is not going to cut it. In fact, it’s almost a complete waste of time. Regardless of actual intensity of effort required, working largest of muscle groups will produce incredible muscle growth all over entire body.

Although we may not be entirely sure why, we do know that without a doubt, it does happen. For best possible muscular gains, major muscular structures should be trained intensely. If exercise is intense, brief and infrequent, maximum gains will be achieved. As no muscle can be truly isolated from body’s subsystems and all exercises have some degree of overall effect on body, for best possible muscle gains, only full body workouts should be performed.

As I has explained to you here. Split-routines are in fact physiologically impossible. A training program which ‘splits’ body into muscle groups, doesn’t permit sufficient recovery time for body overall. As a result, split training programs do not produce maximum possible muscle gains. In almost all cases, they actually prevent them. No exceptions.

Muscle gains produced by a very small amount of intense exercise, will always be much, much more, than that produced by a large amount of low intensity exercise. It is never quantity of exercise that produces muscle gains, it is always quality.

Most guys who exercise today are completely ignorant of need for maximum intensity in their workouts. And as a result, most are blind to their true potential. Even when they are training six days a week, most guys make have no muscle gains to show for it. They just don’t know that they need to workout at a much higher level of intensity. But, in many cases they’re just too damn lazy to do so.

If they don’t exert level of intensity needed, they will never achieve astounding muscle gains. So, unless you are content to train for years and have nothing to show for it like Frankie No-Gains and Jermima Got-No-Brains, you must accept and respect what is required of you. Your exercise must be brief, but it must be intense.
