"Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one" – Bruce Lee
How should I train? What diet should I follow? Can I build muscle while losing fat? I tried everything, why this book will work?
This guide shows you the proven and hard way to build muscle, get strong, and stop wasting your time at the gym! No BS!
Who is this book for?
This book has a single purpose - turn you into a BEAST! It will remove the BS and get you real results. Be warned - it will be HARD! It is written for the regular gym goer that wants to get stronger, build muscle and lose some fat.
You might have a job (including a side-hustle), family (including kids), and just enough money to spend on a gym membership card. The time you have might be your limiting factor. Still, you should be able to reserve 10-12 hours/week for the gym.
- You are a woman or a man between 18 and 60 years old
- You are ready to stick with it until results start showing up (it might take time)
- You are healthy and cleared for doing resistance training by your healthcare professional
- You want to be the best version of yourself
- You want to lose weight and/or build muscle
- You are not afraid of putting hard work
- You DO NOT want to spend crazy amounts of cash on supplements
- You DO NOT want to win bodybuilding or powerlifting events (that would require much more optimized/prioritized approach)
- You DO NOT have massive amounts of time to spend in the gym
