In this independent Mi40x workout review we shall be evaluating the claims made by the creator. We dissect the program to give you our honest opinion of its value to you the muscle builder. We will attempt to answer all your questions.

Let me just prempt some of your possible initial thoughts about the Mi40x workout:

• Does the Mi40x workout program deliver?

• Is the Mi40x training program as effective at building muscle mass in a short time frame as is claimed?

• The Mi40x program uses a unique technique called CEP training to build muscle mass, but what exactly is this?

What Is MI40X Workout?

The Mi40x muscle building workout has been created by Ben Pakulski. Ben is a successful competitive professional bodybuilder known particularly for his down to earth attitude. He is a charismatic individual that pocesses the ability to both inspire, help and motivate people. From all walks of life to build muscle whilst shedding body fat.

To find out more about Ben simply just do a quick Google search and you will see just how popular a person Ben is in muscle building circles. (Ben Pakulski – Wikipedia). The Mi40x workout program is the next level program from Ben’s ultra successful Mi40 workout

What makes the Mi40x Workout different to all other program

The Mi40X or Mi40 Extreme workout program takes muscle building to whole new level. The workout applies a unique and scientifically proven technique called CEP for short. CEP is the key to rapid increases in muscle mass in a short time frame. CEP stands for cell expansion protocol.

A study was conducted of two groups of 20 to 30 year males. One group used a traditional workout regime and the other used the CEP training technique. The results showed that the group utilizing the Mi40x CEP training techniques made superior gains in both muscle size and reduction in body fat levels.

What is the Mi40x CEP training principle and how does it work?

First of all if you consider each of your muscle cells to be likened to a small balloon. The CEP training principle subjects each of the muscle cells to a stimulating stress which forces the cells to expand. During a normal weight training program as you work the muscle it tears down the muscle fibres. The muscles then go into what is known as a crisis mode. They try to recover and grow prior to your next workout and the cycle repeats.

In the Mi40x CEP training workout this destructive crisis stage is cleverly avoided by using a simple but highly effective 4 minute strategy. This strategy forces every cell in the muscle into hyper recovery mode by selective stimulation which in turn promotes rapid muscle growth.

Longer muscle pumps with the Mi40x Workout

I am sure that you have experienced a good muscle pump after an intense workout but as you know the effects are only short lived. However when applying the CEP training principles the muscle cells are tricked into a continual expanding mode giving you what feels like a constant pump.

There is a good reason why only the CEP way of training produces this rare constant pump effect and it is all to do with “Satellite cells”

Satellite cells are cells made by your body to help repair muscle damage”

When using the simple 4 minute CEP training strategy at the end of your sets a greater number of satellite cells are generated. Your recovery rate is much faster than traditional workouts which in turn means faster growth.

All this means:

• Less time in the gym

• 4 minutes of CEP Training at the end of a movement

• Large increase in the production of satellite cells speeding up recovery and expanding muscle cells.

• Expanded muscle cells equates to an increase in muscle mass

• The fuel that your body uses to expand the body cells comes from stored body fat. So it’s a win win situation in that you build muscle mass quickly by using body fat as a fuel source so you get ripped in the process.

The 4 minute CEP training strategy applied to a bicep routine.

Let’s take a look at just one of the specific CEP training principles for building the biceps using incline bench dumbbells. You are going to perform 3 drop sets with a static hold, so it is important to have three sets of consecutively lighter dumbbells ready and available.

• It is very important to ensure you get the angle of the bench and the body position right to execute this bicep workout.

• Set the incline bench to a 60 degree angle and grab two dumbbells with a palms forward grip.

• It is important to keep your abs tight as you perform the exercise and your shoulders back

• From the stretched starting position curl the dumbbells to shoulder height and squeeze hard at the top for a second

• Lower the dumbbells so to get a full contraction in the triceps at the bottom this ensures that the biceps are fully stretched

• Perform 8 reps using this strict form

• On your last rep stop at the bottom and ensure you have a secure solid grip on the dumbbells and contract and squeeze the triceps hard for at least 20 seconds. Focus hard on contracting the triceps this forces addition blood supply to the arm muscles.

• Without no rest grab a lighter set of dumbbells and perform the same protocol of 8 controlled reps with full contraction of the triceps at the bottom

• On the last rep again squeeze the triceps hard for 20 seconds with a secure grip on the dumbbells.

• Again without rest grab a lighter set of dumbbells and perform the same sequence of reps again followed with the triceps squeezes for 20 seconds. But this time to finish after the tricep squeezes do one further rep of the bicep dumbbell curl and squeeze at the top and you’re done.

This is just one example of the Mi40x CEP training principles in action. Yes it is brief, taxing and indeed painful to complete but the results in muscle mass and fat loss are extraordinary. You also get the added benefit of not needing to perform extra cardio.

The 18 week training program is clearly laid out for you and is split into a number of stages. A level of flexibility is built into the program to ensure it can accommodate beginners, intermediates and advanced muscle builders alike.

Here is a breakdown of the different phases incorporated in the Mi40x workout:

• High Volume Phase – this phase puts a particular emphasis on an increased volume of sets consisting of both high and low rep movements which are alternated twice a week

• Hypertrophy Phase – in this phase the volume of sets is lowered but with a greater emphasis on heavier resistance.

• Strength Phase – this phase incorporates increasing resistance right up to a 1 rep max level

• Deloading Phase – this phase gives your muscles and nervous system a much welcome break

• Over Reaching Phase – the intensity is stepped up against proceeding the deloading phase.

The Nutrition Guide – Unlike other programs I was pleased to see that nutrition guide was simple and very easy to follow. There are no complicated strict diets due to the effectiveness of the CEP training principle in building muscle and burning fat, just simple to follow guidelines.

Supplement Guide – again pleased to see that Ben only selectively recommends a small number of supplements with a proven track history rather than wasting our money on false promises.

FAQs Guide – This PDF contains a variety of frequently asked questions covering all aspects of the Mi40x workout that have not been addressed in all the other literature.

The MI40 Total Training Videos

Included in the Mi40x program are a comprehensive selection of high quality videos that show you to perform all the exercises within the workout plan. The videos are basically split into 2 collections:

1. Firstly the CEP Training Video Collection

This includes a full series of videos of how to perform the CEP training exercises. In this series of high quality videos Ben shows you exactly the technique that you should use to get the maximum effect out of the exercises. One of the big positive points that we liked in the videos is that Ben caters for each individual fitness level giving you alternatives which gives you the freedom to focus on whatever muscle group you prefer.

2. The MI40X Total Training Video Collection

Because the CEP technique as mentioned in the video collection above can only be applied to certain exercises, this complete video collection contains every single exercise that is performed in all the workouts. Pay particular attention because as Ben Pakulski mentions not all exercises are equal. If you perform the wrong exercises you may not see the results or even worse subject yourself to possible injury.
