We all agree on one thing. The hardest task in bodybuilding, (especially for naturals who have no dosage to increase or no new miracle drug to turn to) is having reached a plateau in training, how to increase strength and lean mass without gaining any body fat.
I as a historian, studying training formats, styles and cycles, observing and cataloging the effects thereof. I know that you can continue to move off plateaus in progress, remaining drug free. Many bodybuilders have found ways to do it and I have the proof that in my research.
----- In fact, here are 4 effective, powerful and different training phases (accompanied by suggestions for growth and hardening nutrition from Beverly Nutrition) to implement over 70 days.
Follow this 70-day plan exactly and you will be guaranteed a more powerful, bigger, and harder physique. Recent history had proven as much. Our more or less “stagnant subjects” have gained an average of 7 lbs. on this “70 day cycle, and at least two as much as 12-lbs. That is damn good, (excuse my English) drug-free.
Plan to Grow
Inspirational guru Napoleon Hill states that you can increase your results by 1 Billion % by actually writing your goals down!

Josh Burdick keeps a journal to track progress. Wondering aimlessly in the gym is a certain recipe for failure.

Note: Before going into the program, a word on measuring progress: You can’t guess on measuring changes in lean mass. Undergo a body composition test by the same qualified professional every 2 weeks. This allows you to have a calculated measure of lean body mass and fat pounds in relation to bodyweight.
Or, another option is simpler. Record your bodyweight first thing in the morning after a trip to the bathroom, as this will give you the most consistent reading. Concomitantly, take measures of your flexed biceps and your waist (that’s right, with abdominals flexed). If your biceps are 15” and your waist is 30”, that is a 1:2 ratio. The ratio must not get worse. If the numbers are getting further apart (1:2.2) you’re getting fatter. If they get closer (1:1.8), you are building muscle! Do this one every other week.
Add muscle -- lose fat!
Perform this measure once per week.
