If you're interested in gaining lean bodyweight
and/or increasing muscle mass, then this review is for you. If you're trying to
lose weight and lose body fat, then you might want to go check out the BURN THE
FAT program instead:

Since I write so much about fat
loss all the time, I've been getting a ton of email lately asking if I'm ever
going to write a book or course on bodybuilding or gaining weight.
I've been thinking
about writing a weight gain book for a long time and even did an
outline and a few chapters. However, there are a ton of other
projects I want to tackle first.
I do have plans to
publish a series of bodybuilding training courses that focus on
individual body parts and specific training techniques and routines.
These courses will help you gain muscle, but they won't be "weight
gain" programs per se.
Since I no longer have
plans to publish a weight gain course, at least not in the near
future, I've been doing some research on the best weight gain
programs currently available on the net.
A Google search for
"weight gain" gives you 128,000 web pages and a search for
"bodybuilding" returns 862,000 web pages. In this sea of muscle
building info, so far, I have found TWO resources specifically
devoted to gaining muscular bodyweight which I found to be superb
and I thought you'd like to read my reviews of them. Here they are
(in no particular ranking or order)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
WEIGHT GAIN RESOURCE # 1: "GAINING MASS"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Over 28,000 successful
users in 81 countries make "Gaining Mass" by Anthony Ellis the most
widely used weight gain course of its kind in the world.
One of the things
about GAINING MASS that I was impressed with was Anthony's honesty
in dealing with the supplement issue.
I find it funny and at
the same time appalling that many "experts" and authors use their
books and courses more as a means of selling supplements than giving
legitimate information. With many programs, you are urged to
purchase a whole slew of pills and powders or else, you are
threatened, the program "just won't work." Sound familiar? (I won't
mention any names).
In GAINING MASS,
Anthony does recommend supplements, but he is quick to point out,
"Supplements are not magic. The supplements do not make the program;
they are only there to help you. You will still get results
without them.
Remember, people were gaining muscle and losing fat long before
products like creatine or whey protein were on the market."
[underline my emphasis]
Well, that was a huge
breath of fresh air hearing someone else finally tell it like it is
instead of ramming $300 worth of products down your throat every
month as a "back end sale."
Not only that, but
Anthony has also done a superb job of explaining in plain English
the exact steps you must take every day to gain mass, while also
giving the scientific rationale behind his plan (but without being
too scientific).
GAINING MASS teaches
you about weight training, nutrition, aerobic training, stretching,
food choices, hormones, supplements, motivation and a whole lot more
- plus you get the tools you need to implement the plan.
Some of the
testimonials and before and after pictures - including Anthony's own
- are pretty mind boggling. After reviewing the GAINING MASS course
myself, it became apparent to me why so many people get better than
average muscle gains on this program.
Normally, you could
expect drug-free gains of about 1/2 to 1.0 lbs of muscle per week.
However, on a few occasions, I've seen people gain more than a pound
a week for short periods of time. I guess you could call that a
"growth spurt." When you look at the success stories on the Gaining
Mass website, you'll notice that "Growth Spurts" seem to be the norm
with Anthony's clients.
Here's a word about
GAINING MASS from the author himself:
"Fat loss, fat
loss, fat loss. Everywhere you look, there's information on how to
lose fat. Day after day, week after week, I am constantly bombarded
with the issues of overweight Americans. They have low fat foods
created for them, they have entire magazines dedicated to helping
them lose fat. They even have companies established to help them
lose weight and get fit. On the internet, 95% of all fitness related
sites are geared towards losing fat.
But what about us?
What about the guys who CAN'T gain weight?
I believe that our
problem is just as important and as difficult to solve, people don't
believe that underweight or thin people can be unhappy with their
bodies as well. "You are so lucky," they all say. Well, how come I
don't feel lucky? In my mind, being thin is as difficult to live
with as being overweight. But, it just doesn't sell. America wants
to be thin, so if you already are, they think, you don't have a
problem.
For years I did not
know what it felt like to weigh more than 138 pounds. I was even
underweight as a child. After I was born, I had to remain at the
hospital for an extra seven days because of my weight. Understand,
this was not just some overnight problem for me. My lack of size had
plagued me my entire life, so when I speak, I speak from first hand
experience. I am not some guy who is naturally athletic, or
genetically gifted. I had always been thin, and I would still be
thin if I had listened to everyone around me telling me why I
couldn't gain weight.
I hope that my site
helps to guide you in the correct direction so that you will avoid
many of the mistakes I've made in my long journey to gain weight. If
you want it, you can do this. I am not that "special". Believe me,
if I can do it, anyone can."
