Are you looking to pack on some mass? If so, you may be on the hunt for a good nutrition and workout program to help you do so. Enter Ben Pakulski’s Mi40. This program, designed by well-known pro bodybuilding Ben Pakulski claims to be one of the best in terms of helping you get from point A to point B.
Ben PakulskiNow hold up. Before you take one look at Ben and think this is the program for you, remember, Ben himself has used all sorts of ‘extra’ supplements to attain the body he has. If you plan on being natural and doing this program (and you should!), you may be in for slightly different results.This is a classic case where what you see is not always what you get.
Now this said, let’s not rob Ben of all credibility here. Ben Pakulski does have a degree in Kinesiology and Biomechanics and has trained numerous top athletes before. Not all of these individuals were using the ‘extra’ supplements that he was and as such, he does have a proven track record of getting people results.
So number one, go in knowing that you may not come out looking just like Ben, but rather, build an appreciable amount of muscle while learning some quality principles of nutrition and exercise. If that sounds appealing to you, read on….
What Is Mi40
Mi40 is a program that is based around four key factors including time under tension, neurological overload, proper range of motion, as well as the ability to increase your muscle torque produced. As you’ll see when you look through his manual, everything is focused around the number 40.
You’ll take 40 seconds to complete each set, 40 seconds of rest in between, keep your workouts to 40 minutes, include 40 different exercises, and do the program for 40 days total. Now, this is a bit of a fancy marketing scheme – the 40 everything but it is based around scientific concepts and should work for the average trainee. When you purchase Mi40, you are going to receive:
- The 40 Day Mass Intelligence Training Manual
- The 40 Day Mass Consumption Nutrition Manual (a key element of the puzzle that is overlooked by too many other programs out there)
- The 40 Day Mass Instruction Workout Videos
- The 40 Day Mass Proportions Exercise Execution Guide (great for those who don’t have a personal trainer and want to know how to do an exercise correctly!)
- The 40 Day Mass Prescription Printable Workout Sheets
- The 40 Day mass Pursuit Calendar
- The 40 Day Mass Supplement Stack Protocol (note that only natural substances are included here)
- The Size Secrets Audio Interrogation
All in all, you are equipped with quite a bit of info in this one program. It’s nice that Ben has included both nutrition and training information to give you the complete package. He also doesn’t push a lot of fancy supplements or specific brands either, so that’s nice to see from a marketing standpoint.
Some of these programs will have you purchasing hundreds of dollars’ worth of product in order for them to work and that is after you’ve already bought the program.
That is not the case with Mi40. The supplements he recommends are proven to work and can be purchased for a cost-effective price. Most of the users doing this program will likely in fact already have used them before.
Who Is Mi40 Best Suited For?
So who should use Mi40? This program, while can be done by the brand new beginner, is probably best suited to someone who has been exercising for at least 6 months before. It’s good to have a base level of weight training conditioning behind you as the program is going to take you through a high level of intensity.
By having some experience, your body will be primed to perform optimally. It’s a great program for someone who is dedicated to exercising regularly and making changes with their nutrition plan. Note that you do not need to have a PhD in nutrition to understand the program however or be a master chef.
Ben has made it quite simple and even has provided complete meal plans so if you have very little kitchen experience at all, you’ll still be able to follow the plan.

“Transformed from the inside out since starting MI40!”

Here’s the real transformation since I started training with MI40… Before stats Cholesterol: 280 Body fat: is “diary cream” a number? Joint issues: inflammation in right shoulder, left elbow, left knee Testosterone: 225ng/dl After stats Cholesterol: 200 (no longer taking statins) Body fat: 11% Joint issues: none Testosterone: 625ng/dl (yes still natural).
As you can see, I was headed down a very dark path, most likely towards a heart attach in my late 30’s. I have never once regretted paying for the MI40 programs or camps because it’s a hell of a lot cheaper than paying medical bills to fix injuries, or paying for a casket… Pride is probably the #1 reason that people do not see the results they desire.
They’re just too damn proud to admit that what their doing is wrong, or that their training is inadequate for their goals. Admitting to myself that I needed to find help was the greatest decision to date.

I started the program at 100kg and around 13% body fat. My current stats having finished the program are 95.8kg and 10% body fat. The best thing about this program and following the MI40 principles in general is that I have been able to lean out and lose body fat but my strength has actually increased as well! All my lifts have improved significantly whilst at a lighter weight.
Taking the time to fully understand active ranges of motion and consistently working on time under tension has also been able to improve my muscle activation and caused me to reach my goals and get into great shake in just 6 weeks! I’m now incredibly excited to get started on the MI40 Extreme program and keep the improvements coming. Tim etc smash some more goals and make myself better! Thank you MI40!

Thank you very much for your intensive help for us to develop our bodies, Ben! I was expecting really wonderful results in power and stamina, not only bodily, but especially in the up, mental power and ability to keep on training,although it was not easy.
First I felt myself not capable of going through the program, because of my age, 74 years. But I fell in love with the idea of going beyond the borders, I earlier had in my imagination. I must use a little more time in workouts than 45 years ago, but I enjoy being tested with weights.
Recuperation needs time! I even lost 5 training sessions because of my stomach letting nothing in nothing out for a few days, but found out, that the extra rest let me recuperate fully, so I continued training after receiving a package of VITARGO, the wonderful Swedish product, which gave me the needed power to go on.
It was too hard to even think to quit! I especially loved squats and leg extensions, finding a new side of myself in liking hard work with heavier weights. I think that the biggest benefit of MI40 has been, that my sore shoulder joint and both elbows have somehow been healed. No more pains, for which I am very thankful.
This whole program has been a nice possibility to learn new and very effective ways to go beyond the old and very familiar methods of building a human body. Thank you very much for your efforts to be my coach and teacher, Ben. I appreciate it very much in deed! MOTIVATION means RESULTS!

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m an interested female. Will this work just as fast for me?
Some females have had the most outstanding results! Hormone regulation is probably even more important for women looking to build muscle and get lean, than it is for men. The techniques in MI40-Foundation allow you to optimize hormone levels through proper, intense training, and nutrition concepts such as my trademark Three-Phase Nutrition protocol that transforms your body like nothing else.
Are there any downsides to MI40-Foundation?
It’s addictive! Forty different workouts in total! The only downside to the program is that it requires hard work, focus, and commitment to get the greatest results possible. Just like anything else in life, what did you expect? If you were to apply only 1/10th of the methods in MI40-Foundation, you would still experience dramatic results. Intent alone will pack on slabs of muscle for years to come.
What if the program doesn’t work for me?
If you READ this program, WATCH the ONLINE VIDEOS, and can FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS, there is NO DOUBT it will work for you and for everyone who puts in an honest effort. I am SO sure that it works for every single person who follows it that I will offer a complete money-back guarantee: no questions asked. I don’t think I could be any more fair, could I? I sincerely look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your dream body. I’ll see you on the other side!
More FAQs
What exactly is Mi40-Foundation and why is it so effective?
MI40-Foundation is the culmination of all of the most effective shortcuts I have ever come across and developed to build muscle and get lean in less time. It’s radically different from anything the popular bodybuilding websites and magazines teach and was “birthed” from my exhaustive education from the world’s brightest doctors, therapists, and performance coaches.
The mechanism behind the effectiveness of MI40-Foundation are NOS ™ & using conscious intent. NOS stands for Neurological Overload Sets and contributes to muscle growth and to the overcoming of plateaus. It’s THIS set that ensures you never walk out of the gym wondering, “Did I do enough?” and on the flip side it ensures you never worry, “Did I over-train?” Intent teaches you how to “feel” your muscles when going heavier and heavier presents more risk than reward.
It is the ideal tool to exhaust your muscles safely. The number forty has been proven to be the ideal amount of time for virtually every muscle-building variable: everything from the length of time it takes to adapt to a new program, workout length, set length, rest period length, best-foods, and best-exercises. Every aspect that is missing in your training is contained here for long-lasting gains.
To whom do you recommend the Mi40-Foundation program?
MI40-Foundation is the perfect program for anyone looking to improve the quality of their time in the gym and improve the appearance of their physique. In short, it’s strategically designed to get big and lean in less time.
Can I follow Mi40-Foundation if I need to lose fat?
You SHOULD be following MI40-Foundation if you want to lose weight. This is the most optimal way to train, for someone looking to change their body composition; i.e., increase lean muscle mass and burn fat mass because it is brief, intense, and harnesses the power of your fat-burning hormones.
MI40-Foundation is not circuit-style weight training, which can certainly help you lose weight but will not shape and sculpt your appearance as effectively as intense and direct muscle work. In short, if you want to appear muscular and ripped, MI40-Foundation is calling your name.
What if I’m not a “young buck” — will this work if I’m considerably older?
Age is a number. I know guys in their 60s in better shape than most 25 year olds. The trick is to maximize your efficiency in the gym, and spend more time recovering from short, intense workouts. Brief, yet still intense, workouts will accumulate LESS INFLAMMATION.
Is there any age “too young” if interested in Mi40-Foundation?
I would never morally recommend that anyone under the age of 15 engage in an intense workout regime. Beyond that, the age at which you are mentally able to approach learning new training techniques and concepts without an ego, is the right age. For some, this may be 16; for others, 45 may be too soon.
I’m a complete beginner and wondering if I should try this program?
Although the concepts set forth in this program are designed to be more advanced, the basic principles in this program can and should be applied to anyone that steps foot in a gym.
The exercise execution guide and online videos are crystal-clear and demonstrate how to perform every move safely and efficiently. MI40-Foundation combines over one hundred thousand dollars of graduate and post-graduate education into one system. MI40-Foundation will be your finest learning experience ever.
How many 40-day cycles can I do consecutively?
ONE! MI40-Foundation is hard. It will demand a lot of your body. Your muscles will be exhausted and your nervous system will be overloaded. That’s the point of the program. The gains you make after the program will exceed that of any program you have ever encountered.
This is one of the greatest features of MI40-Foundation. You will grow while you’re on it AND continue to grow for months afterward because you have trained your nervous system to recruit a greater number of motor units and thereby contract MORE MUSCLE! In essence, MI40-Foundation will make all your future workout programs work faster and better.
What kind of supplements are involved in Mi40-Foundation?
I have made recommendations based on improving performance, maximizing natural testosterone, speeding recovery, and something that I am HUGE on — reducing inflammation. Some of my recommendations will be familiar; many you may not know about and are often overlooked but just as effective. The less-common nutritional supplements are the ones you NEED to know about and you’ll find out what the best are from A-Z, for each of your main fitness goals.
What are the advantages to the Mi40-Foundation program?
Precision means that every detail has been meticulously calculated into the program; nothing has been left to random-chance. The workout length, set length, rest period, exercise selection, exercise order, food selection have all been calculated into the program. Everything! STRUCTURE is in reference to the forty individual workouts in MI40-Foundation.
Each week you rotate through different exercises so you’re not following the same 7-day workout 6 times (40 days). Every workout is a new and refreshing experience! It just seems like a no-brainer to be able to go into the gym and KNOW that you’re doing the right thing to build muscle and will not leave thinking, “Did I do enough?”, or, “Did I overtrain?”. Say goodbye to those uncertainties forever.
Is Mi40-Foundation downloadable or shipped to my house?
For the next 60 days, it is available by download only, and after your order is complete, you can transfer everything from my website to your computer. It’s brain-dead easy and I’ll show you how, in case you’re not great with computers!
Since the demand is high and people want results NOW, I’ve decided to release MI40-Foundation as a digital program and to make it as accessible to as many people as possible. This gives me an extra 60 days to create a hardcopy version of MI40-Foundation that will be available to those who want a hardcopy version at a later date.
Please note, the hardcopy version will be at least TWICE as much as the current sale price. Order now! If I delayed the release of MI40-Foundation any longer I think I would start getting hate mail. LOL!
