6 Steps To Getting Huge

#6 Bump up the calories. There is no possible way to gain anything without eating more clean food on a regular basis. We are not talking about an extra cookie here or there, we are talking about a extra sandwich with lunch or a extra snack before lunch.

#5 Train with higher volume and lower reps. This is basically upping your sets say from 4 to 6 and training reps from 10-12 to 8-10. Little things bring big rewards.

#4 Get Sleep. If you want to stimulate the hormones that make big muscles then try to get to bed before the sun comes up. If you feel tired when you wake up, go to bed earlier until you feel refreshed. Skip the late night commercials.

#3 Develop a training plan before the gym. Know what you are going to do before you go in allows you to get everything done and does not leave you walking around thinking about what you should work on. Just have a plan.

#2 Do your research. Knowing what your doing is half the battle. If you cannot bench correctly, do you really think your pecs' will develop correctly? Most people do not think about this. Do not be one of the average, be above!

#1 Hit the big lifts! If your workout plan is missing the Deadlift, Squat, Bench Press, Incline Bench, Chin Up or Pull up, do not think you'll get big as you dream. These are the exercises that will put the most weight on. You can have a program that only contains pull-ups and you'll have more muscles than the guys that do machines for the whole body (including legs)!

Tribulus Terrestris

So here is research from Pub Med: Which is the leader in research.

The effect of five weeks of Tribulus terrestris supplementation on muscle strength and body composition during preseason training in elite rugby league players.

Tribulus terrestris is an herbal nutritional supplement that is promoted to produce large gains in strength and lean muscle mass in 5-28 days (15, 18). Although some manufacturers claim T. terrestris will not lead to a positive drug test, others have suggested that T. terrestris may increase the urinary testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio, which may place athletes at risk of a positive drug test. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of T. terrestris on strength, fat free mass, and the urinary T/E ratio during 5 weeks of preseason training in elite rugby league players. Twenty-two Australian elite male rugby league players (mean +/- SD; age = 19.8 +/- 2.9 years; weight = 88.0 +/- 9.5 kg) were match-paired and randomly assigned in a double-blind manner to either a T. terrestris (n = 11) or placebo (n = 11) group. All subjects performed structured heavy resistance training as part of the club's preseason preparations. A T. terrestris extract (450 mg.d(-1)) or placebo capsules were consumed once daily for 5 weeks. Muscular strength, body composition, and the urinary T/E ratio were monitored prior to and after supplementation. After 5 weeks of training, strength and fat free mass increased significantly without any between-group differences. No between-group differences were noted in the urinary T/E ratio. It was concluded that T. terrestris did not produce the large gains in strength or lean muscle mass that many manufacturers claim can be experienced within 5-28 days. Furthermore, T. terrestris did not alter the urinary T/E ratio and would not place an athlete at risk of testing positive based on the World Anti-Doping Agency's urinary T/E ratio limit of 4:1.
