Who Wants Big Improvement on His Next Workout?
Do you know how most people in the gym train? Blindly. Personally, I don’t like doing anything blindly. I like facts and numbers and measurement and apples-to-apples comparisons so I can make intelligent choices about my workout routine. So recently I asked a group of volunteer trainees to participate in an experiment to determine what variations in workouts delivered the best results.
We tested common variations in sets and reps such as:
- one set to failure
- two sets to failure
- three sets to failure
- increasing the weight on each set
- increasing the reps on each set
- and more
What we discovered about most people's workout routines was pretty astounding. Some exercise variations never score the top position. Those are the dumb techniques. Others can work well but they take twice the effort for a tiny improvement. Those are dumb too. Other techniques are so obviously superior that there isn’t a good reason to exercise any other way.
We tested a couple of other things too. Such as the effects on intensity of reducing the amount of weight lifted. That was also an eye-opening experience. We analyzed all of this information and put it into a special 30-page e-book called Workout Variations Revealed - What Your Personal Trainer Doesn’t Want You to Know .

This report is loaded with graphs, charts, analysis and other great stuff that moves strength training toward science and away from gym lore, tradition and macho bromides.
You'll enjoy learning how this informal experiment was performed and what was learned from the data. But the last section alone is worth the tiny investment this e-book costs. On pages 26 to 30 we show anyone how to use these techniques immediately - in your very next workout!
Whether you train in a completely conventional way or with the Power Factor Workout or the Train Smart! static contraction workouts this report breaks down the exact ways to immediately incorporate this new information into your workouts.
When you walk into the gym you should have a solid workout plan. A workout plan with pass/fail goals so you can clearly see whether you improved or not. This information will allow you to create your own, customized workout routine. A workout routine that you can be confident will tax your muscles with the high intensity needed to gain mass and size.
Frankly, I can’t imagine anyone who is serious about strength training and about getting the many proven health benefits of productive muscle-building workouts who would not want the information in this report.
This is clear, concise information any trainee at any level from absolute beginner to peak athlete can use immediately to improve his or her workouts in a measurable and sustainable way.
