I have a special guess post from an icon in the fitness industry today, Mr. Ben Pakulski from the MI40 program just released this week.
He discusses the #1 way to build muscle and this is derived specifically from the MI40 program he is famous for.
MI40 – The #1 Determining Factor To Build Muscle

Question: Ben, please identify the number one training mistake that would be preventing individuals from achieving maximal muscle gains and what the solution is you lay out in MI40.
Answer: Well, we all know “the guy” in the gym that throws a ton of weight on the bar and moves it with terrible form and looks like hes going to hurt himself. He is the root of many of our jokes, and definitely gets a lot of sideways looks from the patrons of the gym.
We’ve all asked ourselves “WHAT is he trying to do?” Chances are, he has no clue. He comes in the gym everyday and does the Exact same thing week in and week out because he really has NO IDEA what he is trying to do. Therein lies the problem!
Guess what, more likely than not, you have all been guilty of doing this too at some point in your life (whether you care to admit it or not).
The first thing you need to do is identify your desired goal. If your goal is to build muscle, then you have come to the right place and you should take a minute listen up.
The one and ONLY most important factor that you need to consider when it comes to your quest to build muscle, is TENSION. (more on that in a minute..)
We have all heard people speak about mind-muscle connection, or that you’ve got to really “squeeze” a muscle to make it grow. I don’t know about you, but for most people this is a really hard concept to figure out. Those of us that “get” what it means, still really have a difficult time putting it to action.
The good news is, this is quite a simple concept and I will show you how to apply it to building your muscles literally TWICE as fast. This techqnique is peppered throughout MI40.

Here is what you need to know:
Muscles communicate in terms of tension. They have absolutely NO idea how much weight youre lifting. They only know how much tension or torque is going through them.
What if I told you there was a way to perform more or less ANY exercise so that you could FEEL it EXACTLY where youre supposed to feel it, AND increase muscular tension with LESS weight to get results TWICE as fast in half the time. Sounds pretty cool, right? I’ll explain.
YOU can control exactly how much tension or torque that goes through a muscle you are working at ANY point in the workout.
You have complete control over HOW HARD you squeeze, HOW LONG you work, and most importantly EXACTLY WHERE you squeeze and contract.
You can selectively train EXACTLY the muscle youre supposed to be and not train anything that you don’t want to be.
Every guy out there knows what im talking about. We’ve all don’t bench presses and got NO pump in our chests but our delts and tris were cooked! No more, gents!
I would like to take this moment to introduce to you the revolutionary muscle building technique called INTENTION!
The way I describe intention to people I encounter that are unfamiliar with it is this:
“Intention is the CONSCIOUS INTENT to create TENSION in the muscle”
I know, I know, sounds a little hokey. BUT the fact of the matter is that this is BY FAR the best way to ensure you are maintain tension on the working muscle.
The number one most highly correlated factor with building muscle is “TIME UNDER TENSION”. The longer you can keep tension directly on a muscle, the more you control the rate at which that muscle grows.
You can do a bench press all day long, and if there is not tension in the pecs, you WILL NOT build pecs. Why is it that some people can build great chests while bench pressing while others cant? Because some peoples “genetics” all them to
thoughtlessly keep a greater amount of tension in that muscle!
We now have the ability to do this consciously. The best part is, IT’S EASY!!

INTENTION in action.
The most simple example of intention exists on the bench press. Grab on the bar in front of you, just like you would on a bench press. You can use any stable surface for this example. I will use the edge of my desk. I grab the edge of my desk about equally as wide as I would on a bench press. Hold on firmly, and without letting your hands move from that position, “shove” them toward each other. What happened? Your chest contracted didn’t it?
Now imagine doing this exact thing through a range of motion, like in a bench press.
WOW! You just created continuous tension in the EXACT muscle you wanted to! Pretty cool right!?

Although this book occupies different ground from its predecessor, readers of An Equal Stillness will recognise a novelist who measures the abyss that often separates intense private passion from the demands and doubts of everyday life. That book, her first, won the Orange Award for New Writers and (rightly) harvested the sort of wonderstruck acclaim that most beginner novelists would find pretty miraculous in itself. Its portrait of the artist Jennet Mallow – informed, but not directly shaped, by the life of the sculptor Barbara Hepworth – gave to the heroine’s career a scintillating plausibility. At the same time, Kay’s narrative weighed the gifts and burdens of motherhood and marriage with a matching insight.

Yet the potential remains largely untapped. As Mark Richardson, author of the Green Light report explains: “[Housing associations and social enterprises] are both working for the benefit of the community and in many instances, its poorest residents. They should make perfect partners in this endeavour, but often struggle to engage with each other.”
