Well, his secrets are revealed below as well as the workout!
Secret #1: No More than 10 Reps: Anything over 10 reps would engage slow-twitch muscle. For muscle buildling and packing on lean mass it is essential to stick to the fast twitch.
Secret #2: No More than 45 Minutes: After 45 minutes testosterone decreases dramatically and the stresshormone increaes.Taking shorter rest to move from exercise to exercise is more vitil to an increase of muscle density.
Secret #3: No more than 3-5 Sets per Muscle Group: Too many sets exhaust the muscles to death. The objective is to spark the muscles and fatigue them in as little sets as possible at 100% effort. This is more effective then using say 80% effort to do more sets!
Secret #4: Increase Strength by 5% Every 2 weeks: Muscles can't grow until you break them down first. Set a goal of increases your weight to help you achieve 5% strength and gradually build up your strength and power as your muscles work-recover-repair to fuel you to the next workout!
