About this ebook

The International Bestselling Workout Book for Men

Is this a bodybuilding book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat? 

No. 

Is it a fitness book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet? 

Absolutely not.

But is it an exercise book (and nutrition book) that’ll show you exactly how to eat and exercise to gain 25-to-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose just as much fat (or even more)? 

Yes. 

And faster than you probably think possible, or your money back.

Because here’s the deal:

Muscle building and fat loss aren’t nearly as complicated as you’ve been led to believe.

You don't need to: Obsess over "clean eating" and avoiding "bad" or “unhealthy” foods like sugar, meat, and bread. Some foods are just more nutritious than and should be eaten more frequently than others. That's it. 

You don't need to: Constantly change up your fitness routine. A little of the right variability in your exercise is productive, but more than that is obstructive.

You don't need to: Spend a couple of hours in the gym every day grinding through punishing strength training workouts. Sweating buckets, getting really sore, training until bone-tired . . . all wholly overrated for gaining lean muscle and strength. 

You don't need to: Slog away on the treadmill. In fact, you don't need to do any cardio exercise at all to shed ugly belly fat and even get six-pack abs.

You don't need to: Waste coin on sketchy bodybuilding supplements like fat burners, hormone boosters, and amino acids. Most of these products either haven't been scientifically proven to do what you’re paying for or have been proven outright ineffective.

Those are just a few of the harmful fitness lies and myths that keep guys from ever achieving the lean, muscular, and strong body they truly desire.

And Bigger Leaner Stronger will teach you something that most men will never know:

How to transform your body while eating all of the foods you like and doing just a few challenging (but not grueling) strength training workouts per week. Oh and cardio exercise? Completely optional.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll discover inside this workout book for men:

The 10 biggest fitness myths and mistakes that keep guys weak, overweight, and confused. For example, “calories are all that matters,” “carbs and sugars make you fat and unhealthy,” and “some guys just don’t have the genetics to build muscle effectively.”

The primary driver of muscle growth that literally forces your muscles to get bigger and stronger. And no, it has nothing to do with “muscle confusion,” “functional training,” or any other pseudoscientific fitness nonsense.

How to create meal plans for building muscle and losing fat with all of the foods you love so you never feel starved, deprived, or like you're "on a diet" (and especially a “bodybuilding diet”).

12 months of done-for-you, paint-by-numbers resistance training workouts for building a full chest, wide back, powerful legs, and built arms . . . in only 3-to-5 hours of weight training per week.

A no-BS guide to fitness supplements that’ll save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on useless (and sometimes even dangerous) pills, powders, and potions for fat loss, muscle gain, and the rest of it.

And that’s not all, either . . .

338 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Bigger Leaner Stronger system of eating, training, and recovering for losing fat and building muscle and strength.

Bigger Leaner Stronger has sold over 600,000 copies in 16 different languages and is regularly revised based on the latest findings in nutrition and exercise research (four editions released and counting!).

It’s also backed by a “No Return Necessary” money-back guarantee that works like this: if you’re unsatisfied with this fitness book or program for any reason, let the author know, and you’ll get a full refund on the spot.

So, imagine . . . just 12 weeks from now . . . looking at the changes in your physique and thinking, "I did that. That's awesome. I'm awesome." And believing it.

The bottom line is you can get that head-turning “Hollywood hunk” body without following a bland, boring, bodybuilding diet and without doing exhausting weightlifting workouts you hate. And this exercise book shows you how.

Get your copy now, and start your journey to a bigger, leaner, and stronger you.

Ratings and reviews

This book is finally helped me make a real difference in achieving and maintaining my fat, muscle building goals and lifestlye goals into what I want. The explinations are simple and basic enough while still providing enough technical information with links to the detailed studies which allowed me to really absorb and compartmentalise the data into each area for easy reference. If you are like me and have spent some time looking around the internet or book stores (not magazines.. yikes) for any and all information to help you transform yourself quickly and efficiently without wasting your time and money... this book will do that for you. More than just a 'read through' I study it because the information is here is awesome and for someone like me making the first step and will help me build a solid foundation and the confidence to reach my fitness and life style goals.

Amazing book and so straightforward. Looks like I finally found the only truth in the world about building the body of my dreams (though I'm only starting). The rest out there or most of it is just wrong. Last year I started cutting fat (which came quite easy to be honest),but hell,I couldn't build any muscle mass for the last 6 months. Most likely because of overtraining, undereating, too little rest and a ton of other mistakes. Mike,all you say in the book makes so much sense when you breake it down to pieces and explain how everything works. Thanks for the knowledge and motivation that I was lacking before I read Bigger Leaner Stronger! 5stars!!

This has to be the best $8 I've ever spent in my life. I had been lifting for about a year with little to show for it, then discovered this book and actually learned the science behind muscle growth. After only 3 months on this program, I'm already looking ripped and have went up at least 30 lbs in every major exercise and have gained 10 lbs of LBM! Seriously, after reading this book, you will want to kick yourself for not having done so sooner. This author is really knowledgeable and tells it like it is. All of his ideas are strictly informed by science, not the usual gimmicks of the fitness industry. Follow his advice and you'll be amazed at the results.
