Too many people these days sit around thinking about how they can
“attract” great things into their lives, instead of getting off the couch and doing
something about it!
By downloading this report, you have proven that YOU are a DO-ER!
The information I am about to share with you is “The
5 things I’m
about to share with you will be the most critical
principles to building lean muscle
...
Either way, before I get to the 5 things you need to know, I want
to get you thinking along the lines of where you are NOW, and what got you here?
Fair enough?
Many of you are looking to add a few pounds of quality muscle
...
Then, there are others who
want to completely overhaul their physique and create their most ideal, amazing,
incredible, jaw-dropping, dream physique! (Sorry, I get excited about this stuff!)
...
As human beings, we SHOULD strive for more!
That doesn’t mean we aren’t very happy with our lives; it just means we want

...

to be better, and we don’t want to spend years wasting time, doing the wrong
things!
Trust me, I’ve been
there too, just like
you
...
Which is
ultimately WHY I am
where I am today!
I have spent FIFTEEN
(15) years researching
everything I could get
my hands on to learn
the most effective
and optimal way to
improve my physique
...
benpakulski
...
That’s okay but you want more! The generic info isn’t going to cut it
anymore
...
(Read: buy
this shiny object)
The frustrating news is that the cream-of-the-crop information is only accessible
by Olympic athletes and shared amongst the brightest doctors, trainers, and
therapists
...
UNTIL NOW!
One of the most important factors in your success going forward is going to be
where you get your motivation
...
Do you just want to put on a few pounds of muscle to feel better about yourself?
Look better in your clothes? Drop a little body fat? Maybe you’re completely tired
of being the skinny kid, or being the person with narrow shoulders and a pancake
chest?
Do you simply want people to be able to tell that you workout, without having to
ask? (We’ve ALL got that annoying question!)
...
benpakulski
...
Everyone in my family
was overweight, didn’t eat well (at all!), and NO one worked out (so much for the
“genetic” argument)
...
They always told me that I could do absolutely anything I wanted to, but
I bet they would’ve believed that I would grow up to be a penguin before they
would’ve believed I would be a pro athlete and bodybuilder!
Once I set my sights, there was no stopping me

If you find something you WANT, then go get it

I Know What’s Really Holding You Back…

Sometimes I even felt like I wanted to go back

Pretty exciting, huh?!
Yup, I was almost in tears when I realized it

Now, there are a few variables that go along with this so take your time and make
sure you LEARN them
...
I want you to take each and every variable and be able to manipulate it at will
...
You get the idea
...
I honestly believe that ANYONE can have the physique they dream of! It is
all within your control, or soon will be!

WARNING
“The information you are about to receive is
INCREDIBLY VALUABLE, HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC,
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE, & VERY FAST-ACTING
...
benpakulski
...
The PROBLEM here is that the TENSION has
SHIFTED everywhere BUT the working muscle!
“Heavy weights are useless if you can’t FEEL tension on the target muscle!”
www
...
com/mi40
10
Your body adapts and starts using anything it can to keep itself safe
...
Let’s go through this again
...
At some point in your muscle-building
journey, you have all heard the term
“Mind/ Muscle Connection
...
BUT how many of us REALLY know
what that means? Or how to do it?
Co-contracting
my glutes &
hams
The truth is: not many!
QUESTION: If we’ve all heard it, and we all know we NEED to be doing it, why
aren’t more people doing it?
Because IT’S NOT EASY TO DO!
Or is it?
www
...
com/mi40
11
ANSWER: It’s VERY easy to do! But in order for you to do it, you must first know
HOW to do it!
What an amazing concept
...
Muscles
communicate in terms of TENSION! Muscles have NO idea how much weight
you’re lifting
...
What does this all mean to you?
THE best news you will hear ALL DAY:
YOU can build JUST AS MUCH MUSCLE USING a 20lb weight as you can using
an 80lb weight!!!
“BPak, YOU’RE CRAZY!”
Nope, it’s true
...
www
...
com/mi40
12
That’s what I call meathead math
...
Or maybe you’re thinking, “The guys at my gym with big muscles use big
weights!” Ya, they do! Most guys that carry any muscle at all are older and have
been training for years
...
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to build the PHYSIQUE YOU WANT in half the
time? Knowing that you’re doing the right thing each and every time you step in
the gym…
...
It’s probably the COOLEST thing I’ve ever come across
...
Imagine now being able to
create as MUCH tension, or as little tension, as you want, whenever you want,
completely at will
...
So what does Intention look like in
action?

WANT A BIGGER CHEST, OVERNIGHT?!
Just when you think you’ve seen all,
Charles Glass throws new angles at
me
...
Stand in your doorway facing sideways, extend your arms out in front of you
like you might do if you were about to grab a barbell out in front of you to bench
press
...
e
...
What happened?
Your chest contracted, didn’t it? You didn’t even think about contracting your
www
...
com/mi40
14
chest; it just happened on its own
...
(If you’re not, you should!)
...
Without actually moving your hands, try to shove them toward each other
...
Keep in mind it takes some time for your body to override the old way you used
to do bench press
...
Sound familiar?
Yup you all know you’ve said it, or at least heard someone say it
...
Nobody wants a squishy pillow back there, flapping in the wind when you walk
...
No doubt
...
I see so many people doing glute “kickbacks” or sidekicks or adductor/abductor
machines, to try to tighten and build these areas
...
Little “cutesy” movements aren’t doing “squat” for those big muscles
...
benpakulski
...
Yes, even leg
extensions can build
size with sufficient
tension!
Take a shoulder- width stance like
you would if you were going to
squat
...
What happened?
The entire outside of your leg just
contracted, didn’t it? COOL!
Now I can control EXACTLY
where all the tension falls during
ANY exercise in the gym
...
PARTY TIME!

Muscle Killer #2
Believing That You Have
“Genetically Weak” Body Parts!
Say WHAT?! BPak, whatchu smoking now’?
I know it sounds like a silly statement, but hear me out
...
You and I both have body parts that
just seem to grow much more easily than the rest of our parts: the part
that we really don’t have to think about when we train: it just sort of feels
natural and grows easily
...
You and your
training partner use the same weight and same exercises and same intensity and
his arms are huge, and yours are small
...
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself WHY this is true?
The truth of the matter is that it’s what you DON’T SEE that is making all the
difference in the world
...
So, out goes that theory
...
benpakulski
...
This applies to my buddy Steve Kuclo too
...
benpakulski
...
To explain this in simple terms, it means that some people’s structure is just set
up to develop certain body parts quickly
...
Some might be
double-jointed in their knees
...
The list goes on!
What do all of these things have in common?
That leads us to Solution #2…
Solution #2
To Doubling Your Muscle Gains:
Breaking Crappy Lifting Technique,
& ReTraining Movement Patterns
They allow the person to keep the greatest amount of TENSION in a muscle over
the longest RANGE OF MOTION (ROM), without having to think about it
...
For most of us, it’s the muscle
and we just picked up a weight and went to work
...
Does this
mean that we can’t make it so every other muscle feels this naturally, too??
YES WE CAN!

This Might Go Over Your Head But It’ll
Open The Door To Exploding Slabs Of
New Muscle Onto Your Frame…
Do your best to stay with me here…
The body moves in a series of predetermined patterns stored in the brain as
something called “engram”
...
So, every single movement you make is stored in your brain as an engram
...
The COOL thing is, every single one of these engrams can be CHANGED!
It’s the amazing discovery called neuroplasticity! (Science geeks read up--fascinating stuff)
...
www
...
com/mi40
“Overwrite your
brains crappy
movement
patters with
the right ones!”
20
BUT, it does mean that YOU can bring up ANY
“lagging” body part and BLOW RIGHT PAST YOUR
GENETIC POTENTIAL!
As many of you know, I do a lot of work with high-level athletes and I also get to
work with many pro bodybuilders
...
The benefit of this, for me, is that I can quickly test any theory for validity
...
If the results I’m after are not quick enough, out the door
they go, and on to the next theory
...
He came to me wanting to become a pro bodybuilder but he just
couldn’t develop a certain part of his legs (vastus medialis or “tear drop muscle”)
...
1) Not maintaining tension – he was bouncing
...
3) Not achieving a full ROM during his exercises
...
We had him relearn the proper
motor engram for legs, applied the other principles set forth here, and he put 3
inches on his legs in 3 months doing the exact same movements and workouts
he had done before
...
benpakulski
...
I wasn’t surprised in the least
...
OK LISTEN UP! THIS IS HUGE……
...
When the set is done, it’s done
...
We want your brain to remember the ideal movement and NOTHING ELSE
...
exploit your will!
Take it from me! I went from a guy who was all legs, and am now well on my way
to being one of the world’s most balanced and symmetrical pros
...
For any
lifter, especially serious bodybuilders, this is the number one reason you’re
unable to grow
...
A muscle is weakest at the extreme points of the range of motion; i
...
, when it
is fully lengthened or fully shortened
...
Strengthening these weak points of the muscle will strengthen the
maximal ability of the entire muscle
...
www
...
com/mi40
22
In my upcoming MI40 System I’ll teach you the proper anatomical function of
each muscle so you can learn how to manipulate everything from shoulder
position, hip orientation, spine flexion or extension, wrist position and elbow
position in order to isolate „weak” body parts and say goodbye to them
FOREVER
...
So why not choose now to learn the right way and say
goodbye to crappy results?!
“Re learning proper technique might even help you finally build your calves!”

Muscle Killer #3
Not Understanding Muscle Function & How To
Maximally Shorten & Lengthen A Muscle
IF you want FULLY developed muscles, you must use a FULL Range of Motion
and I bet you have NO IDEA what that actually looks like in application!
This may sound a little harsh, but it’s really not
...
If you’re not fully shortening and lengthening your
muscles through their complete range of motion,
then you’re not leaving the gym having maximally
stimulated the muscle and no new growth is initiated
...
I would say, of the last 1000 people I’ve encountered in the gym, ONE has known
www
...
com/mi40
24
what a full range actually means for any of the major muscle groups! If you
scored less than 1 out of 4 above, it’s okay because this knowledge is not taught
in the generic websites and magazines
...
So, how are you supposed to train with a full range for optimal muscle growth if
you don’t actually know what it means?
The next thing many of you might be thinking is: so why do so many guys with
great physiques train with poor form or do not use a full ROM?
How did these freaky bodybuilders build their bodies with horrible technique?
The truth of the matter is there are probably about 10 guys in the entire world that
train with terrible form and grow immense muscles
...
That’s 10
...
They are the tiny, tiny EXCEPTION, not the rule
...
Sure they might have
some muscle, but its usually disproportionate and
they look like they’re in pain all the time by the way
they walk around
...
Not cool
...
Maybe in the 80s
...
The goal of weight training is to build an aesthetic physique, capable of looking
great for years to come
...
www

I’m sorry if I’m making you feel like you’ve been wasting your time in the gym
...
I don’t know about you, but inside the gym is NOT where I want to be spending
my spare time!
The beach sounds nice and so does being at home with my dream girl and our
soon to be baby boy!
Wherever it may be for
you, it’s not the gym
...
benpakulski
...
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but don’t worry, I don’t expect anyone to learn
the science
...
Try it now!
You can feel it contract without great effort, right?
Time for some sweet hammies:
If you ask me, really well developed hamstrings are a benchmark of a great
athlete
...
3) They look awesome
4) They’re very fit
...
benpakulski
...
The reason most people lack hamstrings is because they never get them
anywhere near their shortest position
...
In order for maximum tension and maximum shortening, the hip must
be extended; i
...
, your butt needs to stay locked down
...
It will probably feel impossible at first
...
Give it a try though; the
contraction will blow your mind
...
The goal is to try to align your shoulders, hips and
knees in a straight line (or knees slightly extended behind your hips)
...
This, in fact, shortens the hamstring muscles from BOTH ends, thereby getting
it maximally shortened
...
Keeping your chest up and without leaning forward at all,
I want you to simply extend one of your legs behind you until you feel your glute
www
...
com/mi40
28
contract
...
Do not change anything
else
...
(If you have a hard time contracting your glute in that position, your
hip flexors are way too tight and this is too advanced for you right now
...
” The
crazy part is, it may also appear to be a rather short Range of Motion, right?
“WICKED STUFF, BPak!”
NOW ON TO THE GAMECHANGERS!!!

Muscle Killer #4
Never Knowing If You’ve Ever Actually Done
Enough To Grow a
...
a
...
I know you can relate to those days when you
worked “hard” but still felt like you could have done more
...
I remember days when I would get in my car after the gym and say to
myself “Damn, I wish I had done more” and legitimately contemplate going back
in to do more
...
“I wish there was a way to know that
I had completely exhausted every single muscle fiber that I could!”
I CRAVED something that would ensure that my muscles are taken to their limit,
and CREATE NEW GROWTH!
Let’s first understand something about the human body
...
It’s called homeostasis
...
We need to coerce them! We need to show our bodies that there is a reason to
grow bigger and stronger
...
benpakulski
...
Sounds simple enough, right?
Well, the problem is that your body is smarter
than you are
...
It doesn’t want to do
all this work you’re subjecting it to, so it
starts to create lactic acid
...
Being a research junky, I had
always read about overloading
the muscle and overloading the
nervous system to stimulate
new muscle and strength gains,
respectively
...
benpakulski
...
You
feel strong and you feel like you’re going to build some serious NEW MUSCLE
today!
You pick up a BIG weight that you know you can rock for a perfect 8 reps!
You knock out the first 4 reps, piece of cake
...
Muscles burn like fire
...
You set the weight down and stand up
...
You feel like you could have done more but you know you gave
it your all; your body just shut off
...
benpakulski
...
You even knock out a couple of partial reps with perfect form!
Somewhere in the back of your mind you see Rocky running up those stairs and
feel the urge to march on!
You grab the next weight and smash out another 6 perfect reps!!
So fired up, nothing can stop you now! You continue one more time with a slightly
lighter weight
...
Your muscle couldn’t budge
another rep, not another
partial
...
THIS is what we call
VICTORY!
You have just elicited the
MOST AMAZING environment
for muscular growth
imaginable
...
benpakulski
...
When you take you muscles to exhaustion, your body now sees a need to
make them bigger to adapt to this type of stimulus so it starts releasing Growth
Hormone and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor)
...
the next
GAMECHANGER!
This one is the glue that binds it
all together
...
It’s time for what you need to
know OUTSIDE the gym
...
benpakulski
...
I KNOW you do
...
Is it easy? Of course not
...
Let me do my best to explain
...
You need to always ensure that your body has what it needs to recover when
it needs it
...
Your muscles need protein, in the form of amino acids, present in the
bloodstream ALL the time or the body will start to leach those aminos from other
parts of your body (Read: break down your muscles)
...
REMEMBER: Weight training is a catabolic process -- it breaks down muscle!
It’s when we leave the gym and feed the body that the growth and re-growth
processes occur
...
benpakulski
...
In order to do this, certain essential nutrients MUST be present:
— branch chain aminos
— glutamine
— arginine
— antioxidants
— glucose
— zinc
This is your first consideration when it comes to building muscle
...
How do I know WHEN to EAT WHAT?
I think by this point in my life I have probably read EVERY nutrition book ever
written (or at least started to read them all
...
I have probably tried every single logical approach to nutrition at some point in
my life
...
you get the idea!
The only one I think I haven’t tried yet is raw food diet because I just don’t think
I could support my bodyweight with the limited food sources
...
k
...
,Lose Fat)
...
benpakulski
...
I believe I have taken
the best points from each one and manipulated them to create a formula for
people trying to build lean muscle without the excess fat
...
This phase is centered around taking the time to ensure that your body is getting
everything it needs to recover from the overload of weight training and daily
stress that you subject it to
...
As the recovery process begins
DURING the workout, so does the P-1 phase
...
Workout carb requirement:
Lean Bodyweight x 0
...
3/2= Liquid Carb requirement for fat loss(FL)
We now use this number [(G) OR (FL)] as our baseline number
...
www
...
com/mi40
37
Divide your baseline number by 2 to get your BCAA and Glutamine amount in
grams
...
So here it is in action…
EXAMPLE
MI40 Massive Muscle Builder #1 weighs 170lbs and is 10% bodyfat (therefore
153lbs lean)
...
His calculation looks like this:
153 x 0
...
1) He should try to consume 102g of protein in the 3-hr “POST WORKOUT
Window”
2) He should consume 25g of BCAA and 25g of Glutamine each, divided into
two servings
...
(12
...
Phase 2 of “3-P” is “Setting your metabolism”
The second phase of 3-PN is all about establishing your metabolism where
YOU want it to be!
Yes, this is absolutely possible
...
benpakulski
...
For some people, this may take up to 3 weeks; others may achieve it in a week
...
The timing of your food is extremely important
...
This phase is also very important for teaching your body how to use nutrients
the way you want it to
...
It will be during P-2 that we diligently time your nutrients
and use the proper supplementation to allow your cells to re-learn how to
properly use carbohydrates
...
Phase 3 of “3-P” is is the phase that is most important to directing and
guiding your body exactly where YOU want it to go
...
Most of the participants of MI40 are going to be following what is called a
“P-3+” phase
...
benpakulski
...
MI40 is going to be pushing your limits of physical performance and growth
...
This is
necessary to support all the growth processes
...
If you push your physical limits in the gym, your body is going to have a
huge increase in demand for nutrients and will burn right through them
...
We give your body all that it needs to grow
...
Just when they are just about filled
to the max, we manipulate the nutrient ratios and prevent spillage
...
This means you keep your recovery protocol
exactly as prescribed above(+)
