Summary

Are you not seeing the results you want — despite hours and hours at the gym, and hundreds of dollars on supplements per month? If you want to build as much muscle as possible, as quickly as possible, then keep reading…

Have you been going to the gym for months now, but don’t look any different? Do you feel like, for the time invested, you should be bigger or more muscular than you currently are?

If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle, know this: Building muscle isn’t as complicated as the fitness industry wants you to believe. You already know what to do. You just lack the confidence to do it.

This book will dispel the nonsense and reveal the truth about building muscle, so you can stop trying to identify what works and what doesn’t… and start sculpting a more muscular, more confident, and better you today.

Referencing 35 of the best scientific studies available, discover:

  • How to avoid the most common programming and training mistake.
  • Why “new and revolutionary” is a marketing gimmick. And how old the newest training intervention really is.
  • How to tell good research from bad, so you never fall for broscience again.
  • What the ideal rep range for muscle growth really is. Spoiler: It’s not 8-12 reps.
  • How to quantify your training using the new, scientific formula for volume.
  • The advantage hardgainers have when it comes to building muscle.
  • How to make up to 63% more gains changing one training variable.
  • What supplements you should consider, especially if you don’t eat meat.
  • Why bench presses aren’t enough for the chest; an underrated triceps exercise for bigger arms; and why overhead presses are a waste of time.
  • Simple training applications you can use right now, as well as a sample 5-day program.
  • The principles of muscle growth. Understand and apply these concepts, and you will build muscle.

Great for beginners

This book had great information on the science and diet of gaining muscle mass, but for the most part was geared towards a beginner or someone who wants to workout from home.
