Q: I’ve been bodybuilding for a long time, and I can’t buy into Doug Brignole’s theories. There are a lot of videos on YouTube that prove him wrong. Why are you siding with him?
A: First, I’m not in total agreement with everything Doug says, as I’ve explained in the new ebook and demonstrate with my workouts. But I am in agreement with almost all of his biomechanics that reveal the ideal exercises…
That is not “theory” but scientific fact based on physics…
I’m assuming you’ve read his book, The Physics of Resistance Exercise. It’s obvious that many of his critics on the scientifically respected (sarcasm) YouTube have not.
In fact, Doug has taken apart the majority of their arguments in his own videos supported by multiple studies as well as scientists and kinesiologists…
Still, I understand where you’re coming from. After reading his book, I was defensive at first. “Is this right? It can’t be. All these years and no one has pieced this together before?”
My 45 years of training experience—and brainwashing through hand-me-down dogma—had me disbelieving…
I read Doug’s book during the pandemic. At that point, I was training at home with only a 50-pound PowerBlock dumbbell set, an adjustable bench, and a doorway chinning bar—not by choice; it’s all I had during lockdown…
As an inquisitive bodybuilder and supposedly open-minded editor/journalist, I decided my only course of action was to try it. What did I have to lose? After all, I’m old. Why not?
If you’ve read my story at the new web page, you know the rest. I put his ideas into motion married with some of my own—like stretch overload—and trained with 35-minute workouts three days a week. After six months, I looked like this…
That photo, taken by my wife, shocked me. I could not believe I looked that muscular with such brief workouts. I was fat and glazed but pleasantly amazed. I was living proof that Doug’s biomechanics were right on…
Hell, if I could do that with 35-minute workouts as only a semi-believer, imagine what someone younger and/or with better genetics could do.
After tweaking my diet and still using the workouts outlined in Old Man Young Muscle, I looked like this after 10 weeks…
So what I’m saying is, instead of trying to find “experts” to back up what you believe or want to be right, open your mind and try the ideal exercises for yourself. Or not. It’s up to you. Nobody is forcing you.
Like me, you probably have nothing to lose—and maybe some new insights and muscle to gain.
New: Get the ideal exercise for each muscle, the best add-on moves for ultimate mass, complete 35-minute workouts, exercise start/finish photos, and details on building muscle fast and efficiently in Old Man, Young Muscle.

Specialize for Serious Size
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.
But instant results aren’t the only perk of Alpha-3 Specialization…
