I'm your host, Ben Pekolsky.

Today I'm sitting in my office with my laptop on my lap, having just spent the better part of 12 months,

writing out well over 100,000 words and clarifying my life and clarifying my message and really getting down to the nitty-gritty

of what I want to teach to the world. And I spent the last 20 years mastering muscle building.

I've tried absolutely everything under the sun. I've worked hard. I've done many things smart. I've done many things wrong. And I've narrowed down

muscle building to an extremely, extremely simple process that unfortunately very few people

actually understand. And we really complicate it unnecessarily. It's a relatively simple process, yet it seems as though most people

just don't understand it. It's, if you look at muscle building from its core root, its foundational

principles, it's so effectively simple. Yet, like many things in life, we try to complicate it because we're looking for this complex

answer.

So in today's podcast, if you haven't already guessed, it's going to be a solo podcast, me telling

you about, you know, ultimately decoding this muscle building piece the best I know

how. And I'll do my best to keep it as concise as possible, as action-oriented as possible,

as though you're coming in to me in my gym, in my house, wherever it may be, and learning

everything that there is to learn about

muscle building. Now, if you guys haven't heard my message around muscle building, because I know

I don't preach it a lot on my podcast, they don't really get behind this idea of, you know,

shoving it down people's throat unless they ask. One thing I want to get across is this absolute reality that at least 99% of people I've ever met in my life.

And this includes the highest level athletes and the pro athletes and the pro bodybuilders are getting it wrong.

And that doesn't mean you can't build muscle.

It just means you're going to build it by accident.

And some people can build it well by accident.
