If you’re interested, click here to see if you qualify. 99 times out of 100, the real reason you stop during your training is not because the muscle you’re training fails.

And to get there, it’s not just about your PHYSICAL BODY  but also MENTAL ABILITY.  In today's episode, you'll learn: The POWER OF FOCUS and mindset to develop depth in training How to select exercises for YOUR optimal training The 8 Big Bottlenecks stopping you from getting results in training A big frame, small frame approach to maximally challenge the muscle How to find the path of maximal stimulation Don't forget to pick up the episode guide at muscleintelligence.com/learn.
