Dedicated to Your Physical Transformation
Over the past multi-part series, you’ve seen biomechanics expert and Drug-Free Mr. Universe Doug Brignole “think out loud,” so to speak, on hypertrophy training through my correspondence with him…
In addition, I’ve added my analysis and two cents regarding how best to achieve optimal growth with the most efficient workouts possible. [Read more…]

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… [Read more…]
In the new Muscle-On, Belly-Gone “Diet” ebook, Steve outlines how he used 12-to-14-hour fasts a few days a week to get ripped in 10 weeks.

Q: I’m having a really hard time putting on any muscle weight. I’m 6’1” and weigh 165. I just can’t seem to get much progress. I’m using your POF X-Rep program but have only gotten okay results in the first month, and I’m working it pretty hard. It’s frustrating when I see other guys who can get big fast while I’m a 26-year-old guy who can’t seem to make much progress. Do you have any suggestions to help?
A: Everyone’s genetics are different (plus, you may not know who’s getting pharmaceutical help). The bottom line is that you may not be perfectly suited for putting on muscle fast; however, with consistent hard training you should be able to transform your physique. Keep in mind that most bodybuilders only add about 10 to 15 pounds of muscle per year, which is about one pound a month… [Read more…]
Q: I’ve been working out for a couple of years now pretty hard. I’m feeling frustrated because I’ve been tall and skinny my whole life: 6’2″ and 170 pounds. I just can’t seem to put on any muscle. Is it a possibility that a person just can’t build muscle no matter what they do? I receive your e-zine and read about other people’s gains, so I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong or maybe I’m genetically incapable of going from twig to big.
A: You will put on muscle—convince yourself of that; however, you’re in the skinny ectomorph boat with Steve, so you must be realistic, not frustrated. He weighed 120 pounds when he started weight training, and it took time for him to twig to big and looking like a bodybuilder—but even now he doesn’t look all that big in clothes. [Read more…]
