While you’re going through the Project Mass trainer, you’ll have the opportunity to implement some effective training techniques that you may not have seen or done before. These techniques have been built into the program to help ensure that you never stop growing.

We’ve tested each one of these methods in the lab, and have found that they turn on key muscle-growth mechanisms. Improving the anabolic environment for your muscles means greater gains in size and strength in the long run!

Here are the five advanced training techniques you’ll encounter during Project Mass. Each video will explain how to perform each method so that, when you encounter these advanced techniques on the daily Project Mass training pages, you’ll know exactly what to do. Many of the training pages include links back to these techniques as well, so you can refer to them at any time.

Eccentric training is an advanced technique that will increase the difficulty of the lift and the amount of muscle fibers the lift recruits. It’s easy to implement. Here’s how it’s done!
