Mark's Big Legs Plan

You can look bigger and more muscular really quickly (without having built any extra muscle).

I don’t know what the occasion may be, but if you want to be bigger in a hurry, I’ve put together 6 cool little ways to do it. If you have more suggestions, let me know in the comments below.

(1) CARB-UP

If you normally eat a fairly low carbohydrate intake, carb-loading will make you look instantly bigger. The carbs pull water and glycogen into the muscle making them bigger and fuller.

In my own opinion, eating less than 0.6g carb per pound of bodyweight counts as a fairly low-carb intake. If you take in this amount or less of carbohydrate per day, you’ll look bigger with a temporary carb spike.

A person weighing 180lbs eating less than ~100g net carbs per day is on a fairly low-carb diet.

180lbs x 0.6 = 108g NET carbs per day

So if you eat this level or less, try eating 3 times your body weight in carbs the day before you need a little extra size. In this example, this guy would eat 540g net carbs the day before needing the extra size.

(2) GET A PUMP

A very short-term one. You can knock out a couple of sets of 20 press-ups for a decent pump.

But you’ve only got about 10-15 minutes – make the most of it!

(3) TAKE CREATINE

Load with 20g per day for 5 days, then take 5g per day thereafter. Creatine pulls extra water into the muscle tissue making them look fuller.

But you’ll need to do this about a week or so before you want to look bigger. O.N. do a great Creapure creatine in the US.

I recommend you get your whey and creatine from MyProtein UK here with a 10% discount code ‘MUSCLEHACK’. And use this link if you live in the US.

(4) DRINK WATER

Being dehydrated makes your muscles look flat. And so many people are chronically dehydrated.

It’s bad enough that muscular power decreases by up to 19% at a dehydration level of just 3%! But you also look smaller.

For fuller muscles, consume 0.6 ounces water per pound of body weight.

Body weight (lbs) X 0.6 = Water Intake in ounces. So a 160 lb person needs 96 ounces of water daily. 

(5) USE CLOTHES TO GET THAT V-SHAPE

Wear clothes that accentuate your shoulders and taper your waist.

This achieves that coveted V-Shape making you appear more muscular. You might need to get abs to pull this off. If so, you need look no further than my Total Six Pack Abs system. I may be biased since I created it, but the thing just works!

(6) WHITE TEES

Most people are aware that black clothes make you look slimmer. But the opposite is true for white.

Try fitted or tapered white t-shirts to make you look more buff.

And if you don’t mind waiting 7-10 days for rapid (but real) muscle gains, check out my experimental workout protocols:
