Introducing the "Mass and Lean"
Customized Vectron Workout Program

Getting big and ripped has always been a two-part process -- until now, that is. A unique supplemental protein matrix is changing the way bodybuilders everywhere approach their craft. Now, you can try ProSource's Vectron for yourself, along with a training program specially designed to maximize this super-supplement's effectiveness.

"Huge and lean" is the ultimate aim of gym rats everywhere. Yet, if you listen to the typical expert, you'll hear a familiar refrain: You can work toward one of those goals or the other -- but you can't pursue size and cuts simultaneously.

It's why the concept of "off-season" and "precontest" modes entered the competitive bodybuilding lexicon. First, you gain mass, and only then can you strip the bodyfat and get as ripped as possible, revealing all that newly constructed muscle underneath.

Because of that long-accepted fact, it is simply a rite of passage to carry a spare tire around the middle as you bulk up. But hey, if you schedule your "off-season" during the cold winter months, you can hide your embarrassing pudge behind oversized long-sleeved shirts and baggy pants until spring. That's just the way it has to be, right?

Well, not necessarily. That's because sport supplement scientists have been hard at work solving the "big versus lean" dilemma, on behalf of the millions of guys who … well, wouldn't mind throwing on some short sleeves even when the snow's flying. All the better to display the results of their intense, dedicated efforts in the gym and dietary tenacity.

Now, all that research in the lab has paid off, with ProSource's potent dual-threat supplement, Vectron.

A unique high-protein supplement, Vectron takes its formulation to the next level by focusing on two key factors concurrently: Preserving lean muscle mass and slicing fat. That double dip of benefits is accomplished thanks to an elite, clinically proven fractionated protein complex called Prolibra, a specialized bioactive peptide matrix and special whey mineral complex designed to precisely target essential mechanisms of body reconstruction.

Using Vectron on a daily basis, men trying to build and lose fat obtain the high-quality protein necessary to turn hardcore workouts into results. Vectron -- which mixes easily in milk, water or juice -- can take the place of any of the 6-8 small meals that make up the typical bodybuilders day, helping ensure that you get the minimum of one gram of protein per pound of bodyweight every 24-hour cycle.

The "Mass and Lean" Customized Vectron Workout Program

With Vectron in your nutritional arsenal, there's just one more thing you need: A workout specifically designed to take advantage of its twofold impacts! With that in mind, we turned to our certified training experts at ProSource and charged them with the task of creating a workout program that could be paired with Vectron. What they came up with was a plan that strategically combined the important mass-building elements of powerful, heavy lifting with the bodyfat-burning benefits of speed and volume training.

The following plan uses two different approaches, all within one session. Exercises marked "Mass" should be performed explosively on the positive portion of the rep, and under strict control on the negative, with a cadence of 2 seconds up, 4 seconds down on each rep. Exercises marked "Lean" should be done using the heaviest weight you can handle for the number of reps listed for each set, with an even steady cadence throughout every rep with no pausing until you reach momentary muscle failure.

There are also cardio activities in most of the workout days, to augment your body's fat-burning efforts.

All told, this weekly split can be repeated anywhere from one month to six; beyond that, you'll want to change up the split and exercises to avoid boredom and an unwanted plateau in your gains. You should also consider switching a handful of similar exercises in and out from week to week to really keep it fresh, and be sure to journal your workouts to monitor your progress, making tweaks as needed to keep your transformation on track.

Oh, just one more thing: You may want to go ahead and throw all of your oversized sweatshirts in the goodwill pile. Thanks to Vectron and your single-minded dedication to getting huge and ripped, you shouldn't be needing those anymore.
