Homemade Supplement Secrets Review

This is my second review of a Jeff Anderson product, and just like the last product I reviewed, Optimum Anabolics, Homemade Supplement Secrets is an overwhelming hit!

This book is chock-full of nutritional information. Jeff dispels a lot of myths about nutrition and supplementation and he really takes the supplement industry to task for the deceptive practices that some of the players engage in. Jeff also lays it all out in terms of ingredients in popular supplements in several categories (like “Mass Gainers,” “Fat Burners,” and “Hormone Boosters,” just to name a few) and tells you the exact quantities of each beneficial ingredient to put in your own, homemade recipes.

You will learn a lot from this book. There’s a lot of science here, but it’s all put out in layman’s terms that anybody can understand and comprehend. Better yet, everything you learn will be actionable! In no time flat, you’ll be making your own supplements at a fraction of the cost in the store, and you may even be making a more effective concoction (Jeff tells you which ingredients aren’t necessary in the popular formulations).

Harold Poole — Best Teenage Bodybuilder of All-Time

Harold Poole was undoubtedly the best teenage bodybuilder of all-time. He was also a phenomenal all-around athlete, winning his share of track and wrestling competitions.

Harold had the classic lines that we all miss. He was like a '69 Camaro Z28 — brutal power and elegant all at the same time.

Here's Poole's workout routine back in 1962:

• 3 Sets Barbell Press Behind Neck
• 6 Sets of Barbell Bench Press, Wide Grip
• 3 Sets of Barbell Rowing
• 3 Sets of Chins Behind Neck
• 3 Sets of Cheating Barbell Curl
• 5 Sets of Triceps Kickbacks
• 3 Sets of Front Squats
• 6 Sets of Donkey Calf Raises
• 1 Set of Sit-ups

As you can see, he was a natural athlete! He focused on chest and back and did very little leg and ab work. Because he was a track athlete, I guess he didn't need to!

Here's to the best teenage bodybuilder of all-time!

Hardgainer Project X Review

I just got a copy of Jeff Anderson's latest publication, Hardgainer Project X (HPX) and it's fantastic.

Jeff (aka “The Muscle Nerd”) lays a solid foundation for the reasons behind a hardgainer's difficulty on putting on weight. It all starts with our horrible genetics. In fact, there are 7 broad reasons why some folks are hardgainers and others are not. They range from having a fast metabolism to favoring catabolic hormone dominance to poor neuro-muscular communication. Additionally, we hardgainers suffer from an over-abundance of slow twitch muscle fibers, reduced ability to synthesize protein, our recovery times are horrible, and we have an acidic system.

All of these things add up to contribute to ZERO gains for us.

But Jeff quickly lays all the “bad stuff” aside and shows us EXACTLY what we need to do in the gym, with our diets, and precisely what we need to take in terms of supplements. Anderson shares my skepticism of the food supplement industry, but another thing we share is our desire to get results – and both he and I have found awesome supplements that will help you get to where you want to go in terms of muscle size, strength, and appearance.

In HPX, Jeff takes on the “conventional wisdom” of the so-called “fitness industry” and tears down myths, calling out the BS like nobody's business.

He's also come up with a unique variation on the traditional drop-set. It's a novel concept that is not popular yet amongst the “experts,” but I predict it will become more and more popular as people, especially hardgainers, discover its efficacy.

Finally, Jeff has uncovered some new techniques that will help both nutritionally and in your workouts. He's very inventive.

All in all, I found Jeff's HPX system to be right on par with his other publications: They're effective, innovative, easy-to-implement and understand, and fun and easy to read. I read the entire course in a couple of hours (and I'm a very slow reader); I'm now ready to tackle the program with full force.

I highly recommend giving Hardgainer Project X a serious trial (there is an 8-week 100% money-back guarantee).

GOMAD Works!

by Tony (Indiana)

I was tired of being a 140 pound twink. I started lifting as heavy as I could 3-4 days a week while eating 5000-6000 kcal/day, about half of which was milk.

In one year I've made huge strength gains and gained about 60 pounds without a large rise in body fat.

Gallon of Milk a Day

Got milk?

Aspiring weight trainers and bodybuilders want to get big fast, and one of the best programs for doing so is the “Gallon of Milk a Day” plan, coupled with some heavy lifting.

When you want to get big really fast, there is no substitute for lots of calories. In fact, you need to add 500-1,000 calories per day if you want to gain weight. And really, the more the better. If you find yourself getting fat (it will show up in the belly first), you can back off a little or do some cardio work.

The GOMAD diet, as it's commonly called, has been around for decades. It continues to be used because it works!

It's very simple to follow, too.

1. Go to the store
2. Buy a gallon of milk
3. Drink it in one day, preferably over the entire course of the day!

That's it!

Lots of folks who have used the Gallon of Milk a Day program have reported that they've achieved great success with it. It is recommended that you ease into the program; start off by drinking 1/8 to a 1/4 of a gallon a day at first to see how your body responds to it.

Obviously, if you're allergic to milk or dairy products, this is NOT the system for you. Additionally, if you're lactose-intolerant, tread lightly here.

Remember, the whole idea about bodybuilding is to achieve a heightened fitness and health level. Don't destroy your health by eating food that doesn't agree with you.

By the way, this eating program works great with the hardgainer program I put together.

It's also a great start if you're a beginning bodybuilder.
