ApexBuilding muscle is about applying the right strategies and at the right times. What a lot of people don't realize is that there is a difference between optimizing strength (lifting potential and ability) and optimizing muscular hypertrophy. Understanding how muscles adapt to the exercise stimulus is the basis behind ultimate growth, which is particularly important for the average non-steroid using fitness enthusiast. Apex then integrates this information into unique theoretical discussions and practical applications, including:

  • How the Critical State of Change is the window for maximum gains.
  • Limit the muscles' adaptation to the exercise stimulus with Chaos Training.
  • How Blitz Cycling will be your primary means to strong, large muscles and why typical exercise methodologies are so short-lived.
  • Implementing advanced training methodologies for physique transformations, to improve your own appearance or as a marketing tool/benefit for your clients.
  • Guidelines for pre- and post-exercise activity to improve workout efficiency and quality.

The Next Level in Advanced Sport Psychology

The mind leads the body, and often a person's weak link is the mind. Most sport psychology texts discuss some important relationships, but few provide practical application to optimize training ability. Apex discusses and teaches what is most important to the serious fitness enthusiast, and how to apply one's self mentally for the best workouts possible, including:

  • Psychological profiling of clients, so that you can understand their preferences and emotional needs.
  • Building, developing and assessing motivation.
  • Obtaining maximum arousal with minimal anxiety.
  • How to improve concentration, imagery, and confidence.
  • Get into the 'zone' just like the top athletes.
  • Reinforcement and mental tricks to maximize performance.

Fine Tuning Sport Nutrition for a Lean, Hard Physique

The third factor in optimizing a physique is proper nutrition. Most people know about good and bad foods, and consuming the 'right' amount of calories to achieve fat loss, weight gain, or weight maintenance, but the process is more complex than that. Like training, nutrition needs to be strategized and cycled appropriately for the best gains possible. Apex discusses these factors in detail, including:

  • Macronutrient ratios for physique transformations and advanced trainees.
  • Sustaining motivation in a cyclic fashion to coax fat away.
  • When to consume carbohydrates for optimum workout recovery.
  • Cycling protein intake to get the most from your food and supplements.
  • The key supplements to optimize exercise performance and to accelerate recovery.
  • Advanced carbohydrate loading application for physique photographs, bodybuilding competitions, and recovery enhancement.
