The average man is always interested in gaining some more muscle while decreasing body-fat. BUT – they want the truth and the most direct path to getting this done – and keeping the results, permanently.

One of the key factors in making this happen is:

MUSCLE-FIBER STIMULATION

Now – there are many pages to write on this – but here is the gold nugget… You need thorough muscle-fiber stimulation in order to produce “muscular hypertrophy” (this is the academic/scientific term for muscle fiber growth).

Of course that sounds logical, and you may already know that… But here is what you might NOT know. Most “muscle building” routines DO NOT achieve complete and thorough MUSCLE-FIBER STIMULATION.

Your typical weights-and-machines routine is often a “cookie cutter” routine that almost everyone is doing. Kind of like “monkey see – monkey do”…

The big problem with these typical routines is, they don’t stimulate deep muscle-fiber recruitment.

In other words they only create a superficial layer of stimulation and even worse – they place dangerous overuse forces on the joints being used in the specific exercises. (physical therapists and chiropractors LOVE THAT – as these guys become steady patients for them).

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time – you already know I’m not a weights and machines type of guy – BUT can totally respect those who choose that route.

So – if you are trying to build rock solid muscle mass – and you are into the weights and machines, then you want to make sure your program creates Deep-Layer Muscle-Fiber Stimulation.

My friend, Nick, took himself from stick-thin runner to rock-solid muscle body by following a few simple, but often overlooked, principles of muscle physiology.

His before and after photos are truly amazing – and he’s even posted a freebie download to show you these 2 other principles. Here is the report (it’s a freebie as of now):

Share this link with any other guys you know who may be struggling to build a respectably muscular physique - but share it soon as I would suppose Nick will not be offering that complimentary report for much longer.

Enjoy - and let Nick know I sent you... Here is the link to the FREEBIE report:

3 Shoulder Exercises; A Total Shoulder Exercise Program

Form, Tempo and Sequence are your key variables that bring incredible synergy to these 3 Shoulder Exercises…

In this Shoulder Exercise Video You’ll go through a 3-exercise sequence with me. *Be sure to get medical clearance for exercise BEFORE you do this program.*

This 3-exercise, shoulder workout circuit can be done as a stand alone mini-workout or as part of a larger upper body training session.

If being used a stand alone workout session – You can repeat the 3-exercise sequence more than once – depending on your level of fitness ability – and goals. Or you can combine it with the other free upper body exercises and workout videos on this website – or in my complete, home, office and travel exercise programs for purchase (e-manuals, dvds, etc…)

Here are the 3 Shoulder Exercises:

1 – Rear Shoulder/Deltoid dumbbell raises (Abduction)

2 – Total Shoulder Circles: Parallel Press to Sky; Turns palms out; Draw 2 half circles with dumbbells; hands meet in bottom/start position

3 – Body-Weight Shoulder Press

In the video, I go through the exercise sequence once; After the video I go through it 4 more times; adjusting my weights and repetitions as needed. Depending on your level of fitness – You’ll adjust as needed as well.

As always – I remind you to get your doctor’s medical clearance for exercise before starting from scratch – or if you are unsure about your own physical ability. Better safe than sorry. Pay special attention to this warning if you have any history of shoulder injuries or surgeries.

After you’ve tried the shoulder workout – please post your feedback and comments below – and then please do share this workout video and blog post with anyone else you know who can benefit from this kind of helpful home, office and travel fitness information.
