Ben Pakulski’s new Mass Intentions training program is not only innovative and revolutionary, it is MIND BLOWING!
If you haven’t heard of Ben Pakulski, he is a pro-level competitive bodybuilder that is a fast-rising star on the national and world stage. Ben is also a graduate of the University of Western Ontario where he studied Kinesiology and Biomechanics.
MI stands for MASS INTENTIONS, and INTENTIONS is Ben’s trademark technique that addresses the problem of not being able to go heavier and heavier with your weights unless you wish to encounter more risk than reward.
Going heavier isn’t your only option, especially beyond a few years of lifting. If you would like to stimulate muscle growth, you need to look for new alternatives. With INTENTIONS you change the angle of pushing or pulling by suggests that of a method almost imperceptible to an observer. You push inward or pull outward together with your hands or feet as you perform an exercise.
Within the MI40 DVD, Ben teaches you how to use INTENTIONS to virtually each exercise, not an easy task if you’re untrained in biomechanics and kinesiology. On barbell presses for chest, as an example, you are trying to push your hands together. One thing becomes clear: Forget employing your usual heavy weights. The new movements completely change the way the muscles are worked to exhaustion.

The name, MI40 – “Mass Intentions” is significant to Ben’s program. The quantity 40, is the foremost vital number in this program as a result of being the quantity that has the foremost scientific significance in MI40. Forty is representative of the number of days in the program (40 days), the quantity of your time in a set (40 seconds), the rest between sets (40 seconds), and the amount of exercises employed in constructing this muscle building protocol.
Many of you will immediately acknowledge the scientific significance of all of those numbers and some of you may not. The amount forty was chosen as a result of of it being the most optimal variety for several of these variables.
As will be explained within the program, forty days has been proven to be the most optimal amount of your time to adapt to any new training program (6weeks). 40 seconds is the best amount of “Time underneath Tension”(TUT) to illicit muscular hypertrophy. 40 seconds rest is the ideal quantity of time to permit your CP and ATP Glycolytic energy pathways to recover before the next set (these are the energy pathways that drive muscular contraction of quick twitch muscle fibers which are accountable for growth!).
We have a tendency to typically manipulate with grip widths and experiment with pushing and pulling angles, however with intentions you introduce a variable which will awaken dormant muscle fibers and stimulate them in recent, new ways that. Pakulski has used intentions to urge additional out of exercises like leg presses, squats, barbell rows, bench presses and overhead presses—really anything that has you pushing or pulling each limbs at once on a bar or roller pad. It’s helped him become ripped at 270, place Top 10 at the Arnold Pro Show, Top five at the Flex Pro show and on his way to qualifying for the Mr. Olympia next year! INTENTIONS is a revolutionary training method and will breath new life into your workouts. Additionally important, it stimulates new muscle growth based on science and biomechanics, not bro science.

Aside from Ben’s trademark technique Intentions and the science behind the number 40 (we can explain why 40 is scientifically optimally for every variable above), we have… NOS!
I’ll let Ben explain NOS to you…
Join the NOS revolution:
For years, I had been searching for the best way to overload my muscles each and every time I go in the gym. I know you can relate to those days when you worked “hard” but still feel like you could have done more. Leaving the gym feeling like there was more in the tank or maybe getting home and regretting not pushing harder?! I CRAVED something that would ensure that my muscles are taken to their limit, and CREATE NEW GROWTH!
This is when I discovered NOS!
My training partner and I had been coming up with creative ways to inflict pain on each other during leg workouts for years. I remember daydreaming of ways to make workouts harder. My goal was to leave the gym knowing I had BLASTED every last muscle fiber, and to have my training partner talking about how he had never experienced muscle pumps and growth like this.
“Straight sets” just didn’t seem to do the trick anymore. Ya sure I felt a decent pump, but it just didn’t seem to be the type of intensity that I KNEW I needed to grow!
FACT: A “straight set” will NEVER cause the type of neurological adaptation, hormonal response, and thereby GROWTH that a NOS set will.
NOS WAS BORN ON A LEG PRESS!
Being a research junky I had always read about overloading the muscle and overloading the nervous system to stimulate new muscle and strength gains respectively. Time under tension was proven to be the number one factor correlated with muscle growth and overload!
Something clicked in my brain! Time under MAXIMAL TENSION! This had to be better than just time under tension!! And so, my GROWTH BABY was born!
If I could use the maximum amount of weight I could handle for strict form for the greatest amount of time possible, growth was inevitable! The only catch is, that ITS HARD!
NOS is something that I have been using religiously ever since. Perfecting its components. I use it to get ready for my contests and in my offseason. Straight sets are now a thing of the past.
The science behind NOS: Neurological Overload Set.
The NOS system has been specifically designed to ensure a maximal MUSCLE OVERLOAD! The greatest number of muscle fibers are broken down or exhausted. Taking your muscles to such an exhausted state also causes the highest possible release amount of growth hormones and growth factors within a working muscle! Without these, you can train all day and eat a perfect diet and expect ZERO growth. This is one of the main reasons why so many people train often, train “hard” and see minimal results. They never reach that “overload-anabolic state.”
GREATER OVERALL STIMULUS=GREATER MUSCLE GROWTH!
Now this Math I LIKE!
How to: NOS
NOS is completed by performing an “extended set”.
The goal here is to extend the set for as long as possible while maintaining tension on the working muscle, and perfect form!
Start the set with a weight that you can use for a strict 8 repetitions. After completing your first 8 repetitions, decrease the weight by 20%(if youre using 100lbs, you would decrease by 20lbs, etc.) Immediately continue to perform as many repetitions as you can with the second weight (usually 5-8 reps). Repeat this process 4 times total. (You will complete 3 drops, therefore 4 “sets”-100,80,60,40lbs).
DO NOT allow your form to stray in an attempt to complete more reps. If anything, decrease the size of the Range of Motion (ROM) (“partials”), just make sure to be initiating the movement with the working muscle from a fully stretched position.
