Get Big or Die Tryin’ Workout
This workout is all about volume. We are going to pump our muscles until they explode. It is important to know that workouts work, however proper nutrition is key to see results. You won’t get big if you don’t have the calories and protein to create the new muscle. We will talk about nutrition after the outline of the workout.

Nutrition
If you want to gain muscle, this means that you have to eat enough to maintain the new muscle growth. The key is to eat above maintenance, this means that you are eating more than your body needs, so it will turn it to muscle (mostly). It is essential to focus on protein, and try to eat 1.25 grams per lean muscle weight. This typically means eating at a minimum your weight in grams of protein.
Supplements to help:
1st Phorm Post Workout Stack: This includes the highest quality whey protein isolate and carbs that are 6x more better than plan sugar for restoring glycogen levels.
Level-1 Meal Replacement Shake: It is hard to get all the quality protein you need when bulking. A scoop or two can help you reach your protein goals.
Project-1: This is a pre-workout that has all the energy, creatine, amino acids, betaine, beta alanine, and more that you need for cellular expansion.
This workout and nutrition should be everything you need to get big or die trying!
