The Death of Bulking: Fat Free Muscle

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

By Brandon Cook

“How do we learn? By taking action, analyzing our results and tweaking them until we get the results we’re after. The key is to be willing to change and try different approaches if you’re not getting the results you want.” -Vince DelMonte

My First Transformation:

Hardgainer Brandon weighing 130lbs.
After Brandon gained 30 lbs of muscle.
BEFORE
Weighing 130lbs
AFTER
Weighing 160lbs

As you may know when I first started weight training I weighed a measly 130lbs at 5 feet 11 inches tall. After years of getting nowhere, making tons of mistakes and failing over and over to achieve any significant results, let’s just say I was frustrated.  I began to wonder whether I should just give up on this dream of having an awesome body.

Luckily the internet was becoming increasingly popular and I began discovering new training information dedicated towards naturally skinny guys. Fellow ectomorphs like Anthony Ellis, Vince DelMonte, Jason Ferruggia and others had discovered the tried and true methods for weight training as an ectomorph.

In other words…  I found training programs that ACTUALLY work for hardgainers. (more…)

You Are Not Your Body Image

“There’s more to life than being really, really, really good looking.”

“What you perceive as a dense physical structure called the body, which is subject to disease, old age, and death, is not ultimately real – is not you. It is a misperception of your essential reality that is beyond birth and death.”Eckhart Tolle

Many ectomorphs and hardgainers would love to learn how to gain muscle; therefore being able to transform their bodies with their newfound knowledge. In fact, for many with a somewhat negative body image (myself included here) this has become a life long dream.

Some may even say an obsession…. but who cares what “they” say anyway.  ;)

What they don’t realize is that there is a deeper truth of bodybuilding, beyond the surface image that the sport portrays. (more…)

How to Gain Weight the Healthy Way

Stan: “What’s that stuff?” Cartman: “Weight Gain 4000, it’s helping me bulk up.” Kyle: “Bulk up to what? Fat ass?” Stan: “Super fat ass?”

To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
– Buddha

When most skinny guys decide that they want to bulk up and gain some weight, their first attempt often leads them to visiting a health food store in search of a good weight gainer product. This is often the first of many failed attempts!

Hey, I was THAT guy too… so don’t feel bad if you fell for the sleek, marketing ploys of the supplement companies. It’s very easy to fall prey to these vulchers who promise you the moon with false or exaggerated claims and distorted scientific studies backing the products. (more…)

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Are you looking for the perfect workout routine that will help you overcome your hardgainer genetics and pack on 20+ pounds of muscle?

Guest Post by Tom Venuto: Is It Possible to Burn Fat While Building Muscle?

By Tom Venuto

“How can I gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?” That’s right up there with “How do I get six pack abs” as one of the most frequently asked fitness questions of all time. The problem is, when you ask it, you get all kinds of conflicting answers – even from experts who are supposed to know these things. So what’s the deal? Is it really possible to lose fat and build muscle simultaneously?

Short answer: Yes it’s possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time.

Long answer: It’s difficult and it’s complicated, unless you really know what you’re doing. Allow me to explain….

First we have the issue of whether you really lose fat and gain muscle at the “same time.” (more…)

No Nonsense Muscle Building in 2006.

 What I’ve Learned Since My Transformation Back In 2002
 
There is a lot of confusion in the bodybuilding world. A lot!

Just in the past year you’ve probably been exposed to an endless buffet of techniques, methods and philosophies from books, magazines, articles, personal trainers, the big guy in the gym and the advice of experts including myself. (more…)

My question for you to ponder and discuss today, “Is it impossible to grow beyond your genetic potential?”

Even the “gurus” say, “It’s impossible to grow beyond your genetic potential…”

Well, I’m In The Business Of Doing The Impossible!

I’ve been in the transformation business for eight years and helped over 20,000 people in 120 different countries go from scrawny-to-brawny, regular-to-ripped and flabby-to-firm. (more…)

Now’s the Time to Live the Dream Life

“Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it. You can’t keep it, but you can spend it. Once you’ve lost it you can never get it back.” - Harvey MacKay

“Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don’t want to believe that. But if you’re over age twenty-one, your life is what you’re making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.” -John C. Maxwell

Well, we’re two weeks into the New Year 2010. For many people the motivation has started to fade to black. Their new habits are beginning to seem like false hopes, while their old habits are beckoning them back into the shadows and comforts of their former selves.

In another week they’ll be dropping like flies from gyms around the nation…. as Metallica used to scream “Sad but true.” (more…)
