Gain 30 Pounds Of Muscle Like Taylor Lautner

Okay, okay, I’ll admit, I went to see the blockbuster hit, New Moon, tonight with Flavia.  I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one in the saga, Twilight, but it did inspire me to write about Taylor Lautner.  If you have a little sister, daughter, niece or girlfriend then you’ve probably heard of Taylor.  He plays Jacob Black, the bad ass were wolf who got into outstanding condition for his role.

(Hey guys, in my defense, I ‘ve been a huge vampire and werewolf fan since I was younger so I’m a sucker for monster movies – although this saga could use a lot more testosterone for my liking. And to maintain my manliness during the movie, at one cheesy point in the movie I pretended I was snoring for a good 3 seconds – just in case anyone recognized me).

Back to Taylor Lautner.  What I was most impressed about during the movie was the amount of giggling from the girls during the shirtless scenes in the movie.  And I could even hear some dudes whispering about how fit he looked.

Then it hit me.

We need more Taylor Lautners.

Sure, we have Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig getting jacked for their blockbuster movies but who has filled the void for the younger generation?

Even though Arnold in Terminator and Stallone in Rambo inspired me beyond belief, I could not connect with their level of muscularity at a deep level.  It was too unrealistic for me and I’m sure many people reading this would agree.

Muscle Building and Six Pack Tips Part 2 of 5

Welcome back to my 30th Birthday Celebration week. In light of the big 3-0, I’m sharing 30 muscle building six pack tips spread out over the week. Today is dedicated to the trophy of all trophies – the six pack.

But before I share those three deadly nutrition tips for getting a six pack I would like to remind you of the BIG NEWS about my Birthday Bash Sale by clicking the image below:

Six Pack Tip #1

Avoid starvation emergency

One of the secrets of getting a six pack is to not starve your body all day and then dump a boatload of food into your body at once. In short, when you eat is just as important as what you eat. Even a small plate of food at the wrong time, after hours of caloric starvation can cause you to rapidly gain a lard gut. I call it “starvation emergency.”

Shockingly, most North American’s follow a similar diet to Japanese sumo wrestlers who can be credited to exploiting the starvation emergency response to the max. Believe it or not but most sumo wrestlers only eat one meal a day in the evening. It’s named chanko and consists of pot broth with pieces of meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. It’s side dishes are rice and tea. This doesn’t sound too bad and it may appear puzzling to determine what is wrong with this meal. To me the problem is clear. Even though the total calories is not a lot, the timing of the meal could not be worst. The meal is served in the evening and right before bed time. The perfect combination for piling on lard. This sets up a catabolic and fat-accumulation message throughout the entire body.

Sumo wrestlers intentionally starve themselves throughout the day so that when they eat in the evening time, the body is fully prepared to stockpile nearly every calorie as fat, all in what the body perceives as necessary for surviving the next day of starvation.

I hope you’re not eating like a sumo wrestler because if you are putting yourself through starvation emergency then you’ll easily gain plenty of fat and curb quality muscle growth.

A better approach is to eat more calories early on in the day, maintain frequent smaller meals throughout the day, decreasing to nothing in the evening time.

Six Pack Tip #2

Get your ZZZZZZZZZZZZ’s

Rest, in particular sleep, is critical to shedding all your belly fat. No matter how perfect your diet or training might be, without rest you’ll never pack on serious muscle and shed all the fat. During sleep your cortisol levels balance out and your growth hormone levels surge. Your body requires deep healing sleep from your low calorie diet and intense workload while cutting off the fat.

With this increased workload and stress on the body, you can quickly become fatigued and feel overtrained. The longer you cut your cut your calories and longer you push the weights, the worse the fatigue and stress becomes. There are no magic supplements that counteract the damage you do to your body during an intense cutting phase than sleep. Getting anything less than 7 hours of sleep a night will eventually take its toll on your body and I recommend you strive for at least 8 hours of sleep each night if you want to keep your metabolic furnace burning.

Six Pack Tip #3

Master a consistent meal cadence

Remember the last time you went long periods without food? Think about how you felt. Your stomach starts growling and you began salivating at your mouth when you visualize your favorite meal. You may even start drooling thinking about gross foods like greasy cheeseburgers, salty fries and sugary pops.

Then what happened? Your temperature went up, you began to sweat and you started to become very agitated. Soon after, all that torture disappeared and you mysteriously felt fine again, at least for a little while.

What happened to your body is that you slipped into starvation emergency. After those first few signs it’s usually too late to reverse even with a quick meal. The relief you feel is from a triggering of catabolic hormones such as cortisol and epinephrine, every bodybuilders worst nightmare because they cause you to break down muscle for energy and store energy as fat.

The simple way to avoid this cascade of destructive hormones is to avoid the starvation emergency in the first place. I recommend that you create a standardized meal cadence. If you’re skinny and packing on muscle then strive to eat at least every 3 hours. If you’re trying to lose fat I would still suggest to eat every 3 hours. The take home message is to never reach the point of high hunger level. You should eat because it’s feeding time, not because you’re starving.
