I've been writing non-fiction fitness books for over 10 years, mostly focusing on natural bodybuilding (i.e. without steroids). Since college I have been helping people achieve their bodybuilding / fitness goals and everyone kept telling me I should write a book since I have such a vast amount of knowledge in the area. I have written 5 books to this point, with a few more books in the pipeline, so I am able to help even more people.I love writing and I love helping people so I plan to publish more books covering more topics and look for additional ways I can use my experience to give others a big push towards their goals. So far the feedback I have been receiving has been fantastic which has been encouraging and gives me the motivation to continue writing.Thanks to all my new friends I have met through Smashwords!Jeff

About this book
Hello and welcome! Thanks for purchasing my new e-book. It's loaded with revolutionary proven knowledge and techniques that will allow you to quickly and efficiently transform your body to whatever level of fitness and muscularity you desire. You can do muscle toning or firming or conditioning for a sport or even adding 20, 40, 60 pounds of new, hard muscle to your frame. All without drugs and without spending a fortune on nutritional supplements and without wasting your time in the gym.
You see, a while ago my 25-year-old friend told me was getting into lifting weights at the gym and he wanted to know what I thought he should be doing in the gym to maximize his results. He knew that I wrote books on the subject, performed research on trainees from 16 to 82 years of age, measured the results every step of the way and synthesized them into full workouts and specialization workouts. He knew all that and more but he didn't want to read that much, he just wanted his best friend to tell him the core knowledge from all those books and all that research. The best of the best without any preamble, padding myself on the back or self-serving BS about how smart I was compared to others. So I gave it to him. Nothing more; nothing less.
That made me realize I really could condense what I've learned developing new data, feedback from customers, and experience from personal consultations. Everything into a book that I could make available to anyone in the world via the Internet.
And that's what you have right now. The best information garnered from years of research in real world testing. I urge you to read every word of it. The knowledge you need is in these pages and is laid out in a concise format and I don't repeat the same things over and over. That is with the exception of safety. Safety is the most important piece of information you can get out of this book. With that said I wouldn't dwell on it too much.
Getting the most from this book
If you are like most guys, you're tempted to turn to the chapters on workouts and dive right into your workouts with those killer techniques and principles. That's because most muscleheads see bodybuilding as merely hoisting weights up-and-down, over and over, slowly increasing the weight, under some misguided concept of this is what builds muscle. These are the guys who are always on the look out for the magic routine that has eluded them for so long. Don't make that mistake!
Now I know you're not going to like to hear this, but read this manual all the way through before beginning your program. I want you to get on the gym floor in the quickest time possible but I want you to be armed with the advanced knowledge needed to put that time to good use. If you skip a chapter thinking you already know everything needed to know about that training factor, you could be setting yourself up for a big disappointment. But don't worry I'll be there every step of the way.
We will be covering a lot of information in this book. Information that is anything but common knowledge even among the professional bodybuilders who rely on anabolic steroids for their massive gains. Well, there you have it. I've sufficiently warned you of the dangers of skipping ahead in this book and I've given you a couple of extra emphasis
tools to make sure you get the most important details from all information I have jammed into these pages.
Also, you will notice a couple of inches of open space at the bottom of each page; I did this for a reason. I want you to write down and highlight the most important parts for you. This open space is for your notes. By reading and writing the ideas that really connect with you, you will be able to absorb and use those points without even being aware of it. Print out this book and write all over it; I want you to squeeze every benefit out of the huge amount of information within these pages.
Two other tools you will see throughout this book that will help you understand the key points are The Doctor Says dialog box and the Doctor's Prescription dialog box. Look for boxes like these as you are reading:
These 2 dialog boxes will help you get the most important information first. Also use them as a guideline for writing your own notes at the bottom of each page. After you have read this book you can skim through it later
