C.S. Sloan's Integral Strength

I have a new article out in the March, '10 issue of Iron Man magazine. The article is entitled "Mass Insanity: Crazy Training for Insane Muscle Gaining." Catchy title if I do say so myself. Now, to be honest, the real reason to buy the magazine—besides my article—is because of Bill Starr's piece entitled "Make it Harder: There Are No Shortcuts on the Road to Building Strength." I love Starr, but this particular article—which tackles the health problem in America and how no one wants to train hard anymore—is the best training article I've read in I-can't-remember-when. Starr is at his curmudgeonly best, and the article is long, rambling (but in a good way), and pulls no punches. Bottom line: Go out and buy the March issue of Iron Man . Starr's article alone is worth the price of admission.

     Over the course of 2009, I have received quite a lot of e-mail regarding two of my workouts programs: my "Mass Construction" and my "High-Frequency Focus Training" program.  If you're one of those lifters interested in these programs, then you're in for a treat: the following is the "Mass Construction" program, plus a Q&A section at the end with a few actual e-mails that I received, and my replies.  A lot of the questions I got were along the same vein, and these represent most of those.      And if you haven't read about "Mass Construction" training, then be all means, do so.  Of course, only if you want a lot of muscle growth.  But, I think, that covers a whole heck-of-a lot of folks that read this blog.      Enjoy.
