Dedicated to Your Physical Transformation
Q: I’ve been using the Old Man, Young Muscle workout for two months now. I’ve seen new muscle, more than I have in a year of training in my old style. Workouts are shorter too, but not 35 minutes as you recommend. It’s taking me an hour. Am I doing something wrong? I try to move around the gym quickly. Sometimes people get in my way, but not usually.
A: You’re not doing anything wrong. And your gains prove that. I know exactly what’s happening… [Read more…]
Q: I’m 45 years old, 20 years your junior. I was blown away by the Old Man, Young Muscle ebook and workout. It all makes so much sense. But I’m wondering if my younger age means that I should add sets to the workouts you recommend?

Q: I’m putting in more hours at work to make ends meet, so I don’t have a lot of time to train. I can get to the gym three days a week. I really want to start The Ultimate 10×10 Mass Workout [that uses only the Ultimate Exercise for each muscle group]. My problem is that I’m not convinced the 10×10 method will work. As much as I want to try the routine, I’m not sure I’m convinced that using lighter weights can really build muscle.
A: For the uninitiated, 10×10 is taking a weight you can get 20 reps with, but you only do 10. You rest for 30 seconds, then you do 10 more and so on until you complete 10 sets of 10 reps. The first sets are easy—almost too easy—but the last few sets are severe, and the pump is unreal. [Read more…]
