Anxiety Is Destroying Your Muscle

Hey, before I share today’s message I just wanted to remind
you that today is the last day to get Eric Wong’s Explosive
Olympic Lifting program on sale

Here is your link:

If you enjoy strength and explosive training as much as I do,
then I think you’ll like Eric’s instructional videos.

You many not get “anxiety attacks” or even carry a sense of
anxiety with you everyday, like the people in the medication
commercials on TV… but to some degree you have probably
suffered from a level of anxiety.

We all do.

What I’ve experienced is that anxiety is your body’s way of
telling you that it needs to discharge!

To discharge trapped energy could come in the form of yelling,
crying, heavy breathing or any number of physical movements
and exercise.

When you experience the “trapped” sensation of anxiety, you
are literally “holding back” e-motion… or movement.

We all learned how to hold ourselves back though childhood
conditioning.

When you wanted to run, jump and yell… but your mother told
you to sit down and shut up, you learned how to tense your
muscles in order to hold back your excitement.

Over time these muscles have become chronically tense which
has lead you to have muscular imbalances that either do not
allow you to use the muscle fully, or cause injury in your joints.

The best way to destroy the anxiety which may be killing your
chance at building more strength, muscle and becoming the
stronger you… with with “discharge exercises”.

Things like yelling out loud, punching a bag or humping a
mattress work really well

ANNOUNCEMENT - if you enjoy some of my more advanced,
yet “off the wall” ideas about strength and personal development
keep an eye out for another e mail from me later today or
tomorrow.

It’s an invitation to join a separate newsletter that I’ve created
dedicated to these ideas.

ONE Exercise That Builds ALL Muscles!

For the next few weeks I’ll be putting together a new
comprehensive presentation outlining several of the
new strength building methods I am using at Strength
Camp.

I’ll only be sharing this “Hulse Strength Method” with
a small handful of students who’ll attend a clinic I’m
holding sometime in May or June (more details to
come).

Anyway, a large part of my new strength training
protocol includes the idea of getting more done with
less time and effort.

It’s called “Training Economy” and is described by some
as training at the minimum effective dosage (MED).

For example… if you could build just as much muscle
with a single set of an exercise versus three or four sets,
which would you choose?

Single set, right?

There are some exercises that are also very “economical”.

These are exercises that build strength, power, speed,
muscle mass and agility ALL AT ONCE!

In my new “Hulse Strength Method” these exercises rank
at the top of the priority list.

I will often just choose one of these exercises and then
follow up with one, maaaaybe two additional exercises to
complete the workout.

Here is the only drawback to these exercises… most people
use them WRONG!

In fact, most people don’t even know how to do them.

movements, how to do them and how to effectively
program them into your training.

PS – I may create some tutorial videos on how I personally
add these to my workouts.

Avoid This “Neurotic Training Cycle”

I’m willing to bet that either you or someone you know
has been caught in a “neurotic cycle.”

A neurotic cycle is a dyfunctional pattern of behavior
which reproduces identical, yet undesired, results with
each repetition.

For example… the woman who keeps hooking up with
men that beat her.

On a conscious level she is not looking for abusive men,
but she is caught in a neurotic cycle that keeps
reproducing the same result.

This also works for the guy who can’t keep a job; the
person who always loses things; the person who is
always sick or injured…

And the guy who can’t seem to gain lean muscle!

Just like the woman who always dates abusive men, the
guy who is having difficulty gaining lean muscle has
honest and good intentions.

He really WANTS to burn fat and build muscle, but he
keeps making unconscious decisions that lead him back
down the road to a soft and unattractive body.

If the woman in my example simply took the time to
become self objective and take notice of her “routine”,
eventually she would see where certain choices she had
been making keeps leading her to failure.

If our guy, desperate to finally become lean and strong,
suddenly noticed that every time he goes to they gym
he follows the same exact LOSING routine that will
never work… he would now have the awareness to
change!

Breaking neurotic cycles takes 2 very important steps.

#1. Take Notice – Try to become self-aware. This means
stepping back and looking at your behavior with an
objective (detached) eye.

#2. Choose A New Routine – Once you’ve taken notice of
your neurotic cycle, now it’s time to replace it with a new
and more resourceful routine.

In the case of our guy who wants to become leaner and
stronger, he could simply choose to follow a new workout
routine that is completely “out of the box”.

A workout routine that combines power lifting, functional
exercise, bodybuilding and hybrid conditioning to quickly
reshape his body and finally reach his goal of becoming
lean, strong and attractive.

If you haven’t reached your lean muscle building goals
yet, then perhaps it’s time to break the neurotic cycle that
keeps you soft and weak.

Perhaps it’s time to give my Lean Hybrid Muscle Building
routine a shot.
