MuscleHacker Takes 1st Place & More Cool Merch!

by Mark McManus on September 28, 2011

First I want to start off by letting you all know that MuscleHacker Brandi McAtee took 1st place at the Washington Ironman on Sep 24th 2011!

She was using Total Six Pack Abs to get conditioned for the show. Such a remarkable achievement for a girl that hasn’t even been in the iron game for that long, and who only found MuscleHack in January of 2011 (though she did say she had better gains in her first 2 months of MuscleHacking than the previous entire year!)

See the interview I did with Brandi recently to discover how she trains and eats, the challenges she’s had to overcome, and how her results really took off after finding MuscleHack. After her first cycle of TSPA she placed 2nd in a competition, which was the first time she’d ever beaten anyone. She had only bought the program 4 weeks out from the competition! On only her second time using TSPA, she places first! Well done, Brandi!

Ok, now for some new on the merchandise front. I posted up a new MuscleHack logo on Facebook recently. Since it was so well received and there was a demand for new merchandise, I’ve created some new products in my Spreadshirt shop.

There are 2 stores, the North America store, and the UK/Europe shop. For some reason Spreadshirt have different products on each site, so you’ll find some different products on each one. This is beyond my control unfortunately.

NOTE: You can change colors, sizes, and learn more about the type of material used by clicking the ‘details’ link at the top-right of each product.

Here’s the new stuff! First the American Store.

Now the UK/Europe store, where there are more products available including a SlimFit top, a cup, and even underwear!

You can also buy MuscleHack merch straight from the Facebook group. Look to the left for the tab called Spreadshirt Shop.

Stay Motivated!

Mark

Thanks again!

Cool merchandise designs! Any plans for singlets?

6 Mark McManus September 28, 2011 at 9:44 pm: @Brandi. Cool! Let us know if the article appears online so we can all see it! Hopefully it’ll recruit some new Hackers too Thanks for spreading the word, Brandi.
@Raymond. Thanks. I had a quick look there; Spreadshirt don’t do them. They do dog bandannas and ties, though!

10 Andrew September 30, 2011 at 10:01 am: Sorry for posting this question here… and all congratulations to beautiful Brandi for winning 1st place… you just took 1st place in my heart

Mark, my question is…. is it ever necessary to go beyond failure in any sets like doing rest-pause (or drop sets), or is it enough taking the set to complete and utter failure and then stopping there before going on to the next set in 3 min?
11 Mark McManus September 30, 2011 at 11:10 am: @Andrew. I do recommend some techniques beyond positive failure for experienced trainees. They’re not necessary for most people that are well below their genetic potential, but can certainly be used later on. Rest-Pause is just one technique, there are others as well similar to what I teach in the Arms Blast Experiment book. All the best!
