Here’s a killer shot of Danny “Giant Killer” Padilla flexing outside, probably in a park somewhere freaking people out.
We’re not sure who took the photo, but Danny’s physique is awesome here. His training style was perfect for big pumps, packing on mass, and maxing out his potential while preserving his joints…
It’s difficult to let go of pushing around giant weights in the gym, especially when you’re the Giant Killer. But he knew intuitively that heavy joint pounding can lead to more serious damage.
Thanks to talking with someone who trained with Danny and our discussions with Vince Gironda on his Density Training, our workouts evolved in many good ways. And we’re still training intensely well past middle age. Steve is 62.
Padilla’s workouts were best described as “progressive muscle-fiber exhaustion” using only moderate weights. That means no hammering joints into submission with crazy poundages…
Our 4X Mass Method that we used for years, is based on Danny’s training, which was an off-shoot of Gironda’s methods…
It consists of moderate weights for four to five quick sets. The method is designed to gradually exhaust the various muscle fiber types due to short rests between sets.
It’s a thorough, efficient, and safer way to get total muscle growth in almost all fiber types.
The 4X method is excellent for younger trainee looking to preserve their joints as they pack on new mass as they get crazy pumps in the gym, as well as for older bodybuilders who are training around aches and pains. It’s growth-threshold, blood-bath training at its best…
Now is the perfect time to try 4X for major muscle-growth success. For loads of motivating info and programs…

Use Anabolic Swelling to Speed up Muscle Growth
Specialization training is when you devote your time and attention to building up a particular lagging muscle group or set of muscle groups.
Most guys in the gym use specialization to build bigger “visible” muscles like arms, forearms, or calves, but little do they know that they’re wasting countless sets and reps…
Plus, they initiate no growth hormone response—meaning all their specialized sets are basically worthless!
Instead of wasting effort, you can pack on slabs of muscle mass FAST while skyrocketing your testosterone levels to pave the way for even FASTER muscle growth through Alpha-3 Specialization.A
But instant results aren’t the only perk of Alpha-3 Specialization…
