Stength Training Trick INSTANTLY Makes You 20% Stronger!

 

What if I showed you a strength training trick that could INSTANTLY grant you up to 20% more strength in any exercise you do?

And would you be shocked to find that all you have to do is the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what you were taught to do in the gym?

Do I have your attention?

Good – because I can even prove it to you with a simple demonstration…

The Stupid Strength Training Mistake
That’s Costing You Muscle…

Chances are you’ve been taught to EXHALE throughout the concentric portion of an exercise.

The concentric movement is the phase of the repetition when you are pushing or pulling the weight, contracting the muscles, such as when you’re pushing the barbell up on the Bench Press or pulling the bar down at the Lat Pull Down Machine.

In fact, how many times have you heard some spotter tell you to “breathe out!” as you’re struggling to get that last rep out?

This common blunder is actually causing you to use less strength, training you for less mass, and even increasing your chances of injury.

Let me show you a quick demonstration of why…

Simple Strength Training Exercise
That Reveals A Hidden Power Factor…

Ok, here’s your simple strength training lesson…

First take a breath – slightly more than normal but not extremely deep – and hold it.

Next, flex all of your body’s muscles…HARD!

There! Feel the power in those guns?

Now, do the exact same thing, only THIS time, after you’ve started flexing…

…begin to EXHALE

…while maintaining your “flex”

…until all the air is out of your lungs

Did you feel how your strength began to disappear little by little as you exhaled?

Well the same thing is happening to your strength as you’re trying to thrust that barbell into the air on your strength training routine.

By exhaling too soon, you’re giving your muscles less stability and oxygen to peform the extra effort you’re asking of them.

On the other hand, when your breath is held in, you create a very rigid torso, from hips to head, that gives your muscles something to “push” off of in order to lift heavier weights.

It’s kind of like the difference between doing pushups on a cement floor versus a floor made of lime Jell-O!

How To Use This Trick To Turbo-Charge
Your Strength Training Power By Up To 20%…

Let me explain the correct way to breathe for maximum strength and muscle gains.

Follow these 4 simple tips and turbocharge each rep…

1. Just before you begin the concentric portion of your repetition (in the bench press for example, it would be at the bottom position when the bar is at your chest), take a slightly more than normal breath.

(Note: Taking too extreme of a deep breath could create too much pressure. Your breath should feel “natural” yet deeper than normal.)

2. Begin your “pushing” movement (or “pulling” for exercises such as lat pull down or cable rows) while holding your breath tight.

3. Once you’ve just passed the “sticking point” of the movement (this is the “hardest” part of the movement, usually about the first 1/3 – 1/2 of the way to full contraction), breathe out slowly through your teeth. You should have exhaled fully exactly at the point of full contraction (for example, the “up” position if performing a bench press).

4. Inhale again slowly as you return to the “start” position.

This may take a bit of practice, but you should find that your body is already pre-programmed to operate this way…if you let it.

Everyone who has followed my Optimum Anabolics Program understands how important it is to tune into your body’s “6th sense” of power.

Your body knows it needs a stable core to push off of to create maximal force.

Listen carefully to it while using the above procedure and you’re sure to see new gains from your strength training routine!
