Peak Muscle Growth
Important change here. The focus is on maximizing muscle growth. At this stage we already had 4 weeks of muscle growth. In order maintain stimulus high for muscle growth to tap into the last trick: Calorie oversumption. A over-consumption of 10% will increment anabolic signaling to the body and continue the last few weeks muscle growth. Together with the medietarrean high protein diet and the 4x Weight Lifting /week, we maximize for the next few weeks this muscle growth vehicle. You should be breaking many personal records in this phase.

ToDo
- buy groceries for the week
- Eat more than the usual. Allow overconsumption.
- Stay active all day. Keep doing the VILPAs
- Slow down at night with meditation to allow for deep recovery
Avoid
- Avoid dehydration.
- Avoid procrastination, stay disciplines with your workout, villas and meditations
Challenges
- You might want to stay at 100% calories. This would be a mistake. Allow yourself for a few weeks to go over. This has a deep resetting effect and allows for future weight loss. The body must feel that it sometimes there is enough abundance to allow itself a future effective restriction.
Tips
- Indulge. You earned it.
