Post contest rebound gain 20 lbs. in 48 hours!

It’s your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here and my good
friend Dave “The Muscle Cook” Ruel and I are back in the gym
and taking advantage of the post bodybuilding contest rebound…

Just in case you are not familiar with the whole concept of
the post “bodybuilding competition rebound” this is how it works.

Basically when you have been on a calorie restricted diet for
months on end and then all of a sudden get a huge influx of
calories (i.e. pigging out after the show) This fills out
your muscles with water, glycogen, and nutrients. It also
sends your body’s natural anabolic hormones into over drive!

To give you an idea of just how extreme this can be. I weighed
187 pounds this past Saturday after cutting water for the
Atlantic Classic bodybuilding show. On Monday, just 48 hours
later, I’m back up to 207 pounds! A full 20 pound gain in 2 days!

Granted most of this weight gain is water, but my muscles are so
full and tight that I’m getting insane pumps in the gym. It’s
almost like my muscles are going to explode!

I just posted up a YouTube video of our first workout after
the show: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps. We also hit a few
poses afterwards and we’ve got crazy muscle fullness and
vascularity!

================================

P.S.
Stay tuned because tomorrow I’m going to be posting up
a killer YouTube video of a hardcore “challenge” workout…

There were 4 BIG dudes training together:
– Big Luke who is 245 pounds and built like a tank!
– Dave “The Muscle Cook” Ruel at a ripped 230 pounds!
– Big Remi at a lean and powerful 217 pounds!
– And myself, the little man of the group, at just 207 pounds 🙂

We would start each exercise with a warm up weight and
then go one after the other, each set adding more weight to
the bar and keep going until we hit failure and had to drop out.
Each exercise we did was a competition to see who could lift the
most weight or bang out the most reps!

Let me tell you, this kind of training motivation and competition
will drive you to give it 100%, after all none of us wanted to be
considered a pussy and finish last!

It’s going to be a kick ass video that you don’t want to miss!
