Muscle Building and Six Pack Tips Part 1 of 5
I am home from Punta Cana and had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th Birthday on November 26th with my most favorite girl, Flavia, in whole wide world.
Over the next five days I’m going to share with you, in detail, my top 30 ways to build muscle and get a six pack, Vinny Style. In this five part series we’ll cover six of my best and fastest ways to do this through training.
Please keep your questions completely revolved around training and workouts.
Muscle Building Tip #1:
Do the least amount of training needed to get the result you want.
Instead of trying to figure out how much you can do, focus on how little can be done. To achieve this, start with a low volume training plan and monitor the results, instead of the opposite of starting with the largest training volume and lowering them when you are not seeing results.
This approach goes against the mainstream where it appears there is a desire to test a trainee’s limits instead of seeing how little the trainee can do. This approach will reduce wear and tear on the body and help prevent burn out.
Think of it this way – if you can achieve your muscle building goals with 1 set of 1, why would you bother doing 1 set of 2?
This entire principle is backed up the more is less training theory that my programs are based on. You will get better training by often doing a smaller amount of training. In other words, you get more results when doing less training.
Muscle Building Tip #2
Results are the only thing that matters.
It does not matter what you, another person on a forum, magazine, text book, research article thinks or claims about any training technique – the only thing that matters is what is happening. In other words, the only thing that matters is what was the outcome.
Value this muscle building tip above all else and respond accordingly without emotional attachment and when your beliefs are challenged.
For example, if the expert bodybuilder in your gym is saying, “You’re not training with enough volume…” but you’re getting stronger and bigger with each workout doing the opposite than does his expert opinion matter? I would say at the current moment, no, because you are getting the results you want.

Holiday Treat Plan: An Interview With Joel Marion
I met Joel Marion for the first time in New York City last November, about this time, for my 29th Birthday.
My first impression of Joel: what a goomba.
Joel is very tall,has a slight side-to-side shuffle, and has one of those laughs that make you laugh even if whatever you’re talking about is not funny. When we went to Las Vegas back in April, I believed we laughed for 5 days straight.
Back in NYC, I think he he introduced himself as, “Hey, I’m Joel Marion, 2001 Body-for-Life Grand Champion for ages 18-25.”
Maybe he didn’t say the ages 18-25 part but he did introduce himself as “I know something that you don’t know” energy about him.
My second impression of Joel: this guy is pretty cocky.
Pretty ignorant and shallow of me eh?
Over the course of the next few hours I came to realize that Joel was anything but an “ordinary guy” — and certainly not cocky but still a bit of a goomba. Over the last few months he quickly became one my best friends and respected colleague with whom I’d exchange ideas daily.
In the months that followed, I watched as Joel became a online fitness celebrity, famous for developing a fat loss system that’s been introduced in his book, Cheat Your Way Thin. Joel has tirelessly researched and experimented with various theories in hopes of turning “good” into “optimal” and there’s no better example of this than his dedication to helping you succeed a better way.
Joel is helping me get my book published and more recently has helped me with my diet the past three weeks since visiting him at his home in Tampa, Florida.
Joel and I in Tampa on October 29th
More accurately, Joel has helped me incorporate overfeed days/cheat days/treat days or whatever you want to call them into my diet (every 5 days for my upcoming goals).
The results? I’ve gone from 203 pounds to 197 pounds – three weeks to the day and I’ve gained two pounds of muscle according to my body fat pincher. Overall, I look bigger than three weeks ago.\
In my girlfriends words when I revealed the goods, “Holy!” (Jaw dropped at the same time).

A Double Dose Of Metabolism Protection: Strategic Carbohydrate Cycling
Back with another update on on the upcoming new program, Cheat Your Way Thin, and today we’ll be talking about carbohydrate cycling and how you can use this in your nutrition program to keep the hormone leptin (which we discussed yesterday) from dropping too low (resulting in fat storage).
By preventing leptin levels from dropping too low you’ll keep your metabolism soaring which means you’ll be burning fat all day long. Have a close read over the valuable information below because it will show you what “dieting” should really be all about.
NOTE: Please read the comments from the blog post yesterday because the man-of-the-hour, Joel Marion in the flesh took the time to read your questions and give extremely detailed responses. Do not read any further below until you understand how this important hormone – leptin – works. I promise it will be worth your time extremely helpful for your fat loss goals. If you need clarification on anything mentioned don’t hesitate to post below.

Below in another article from Joel that I have posted with his permission.
A Double Dose Of Metabolism Protection: Strategic Carbohydrate Cycling
Without a doubt the most important thing you can do while attempting to drop body fat is to maintain high levels of leptin day in and day out.
With Cheat Your Way Thin, we accomplish this via two different means:
First, every so often we use strategically timed periods of overfeeding or “cheating” to restore leptin levels to baseline. These full-blown cheat sessions are almost magical when it comes to interrupting the starvation feedback loop, preventing your body from “turning against” your dietary efforts and putting the kibosh on fat loss.
In addition to strategic cheating, we also use strategic carbohydrate cycling throughout the week in order to safeguard against falls in leptin and other fat burning hormones even on “diet” days.
If you paid close attention to yesterday’s article, you remember that leptin and carbohydrate have VERY strong ties. I even shared a study in which leptin levels were maintained during an all out fast (no food whatsoever) by simply maintaining blood glucose and insulin via an IV drip. Wow.
I’ll clean that entire plate on my cheat, I prefer to call “treat” days
When It Comes To Leptin, Carbohydrates Are KING
But, just like with cheating, you can’t just eat a boatload of carbs every day and expect fat to magically melt away. It’s all about strategy.
So here’s how we do it.

The Most Impotant Hormone You’ve Never Heard Of
Today’s info is really going to be a game-changer for you because we’re discussing a hormone that nobody knows about or talks about yet it’s the number one hormone you need to control if you’re going to be successful at losing body fat and getting into your leanest condition ever.
Next week I’m going to telling you about the number one nutrition program this year called Cheat Your Way Thin (Holiday Edition) which will be released next week by fitness author Joel Marion. It’s absolutely necessary that you read this article because it’s critical information that you understand the principle behind the Cheat Your Way Thin program.
I got to hang out with Joel for four days while I was in Tampa Florida visiting him and one of the hot topics of our conversation was accelerating my fat loss goals to get me shredded for my photo shoot next weekend in the Dominican Republic. After a bit of arm-twisting I agreed that I would try out his nutrition program instead of my own.
After you see the pictures next week you can decide for yourself if it works.
For now, with Joel’s permission, I’ve posted a recent article I would like you to read and then post your questions for Joel and I to respond to – I’m sure there will be a lot so we’ll do our best to answer them all.
Lepti-what?!
It’s name is Leptin (derived from the Greek word leptos, meaning “thin”), and it’s without a doubt the most important hormone you probably never heard of.
You see, leptin was only first discovered just over 10 years ago, and as far as weight loss is concerned, that’s extremely recent.
A leptin molecule looks a lot like a mangled telephone cord.
Leptin’s function? To communicate your nutritional status to your body and brain.
Leptin levels are mediated by two things. One is your level of body fat. All else being equal, people with higher levels of body fat will have higher leptin levels than those with lower levels of body fat and vice versa.
Because leptin is secreted by fat cells, it makes sense that under normal conditions there is a direct correlation between leptin levels and the amount of fat you are carrying.
Unfortunately, when you’re attempting to lose fat and begin to restrict calories, conditions are anything but “normal” and the body responds accordingly by lowering leptin levels.
This is because the second mediator of blood leptin levels is your calorie intake. Lower your calorie intake and leptin will fall, independent of body fat.
So, yes, you can be overweight and still suffer from low leptin levels – just go on a diet.
So what happens when leptin levels fall and why the heck does it matter?
Again, under normal conditions leptin levels are normal and the brain gets the signal loud and clear that nutrition intake is adequate. Metabolism is high and the internal environment of the body is one very conducive to fat burning.
A body that knows a little something about fat burning.
Until you start dieting.
