De: Michael Matthews

Narrado por: Michael Matthews

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts.

Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat?

No.

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

Absolutely not.

But is it a science-based strength training book (and nutrition book) that’ll demystify building muscle and losing fat and show you exactly how to get a lean, strong, and muscular physique without spending hours in the gym every day?

And while still enjoying your favorite foods, like hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream?

Yes.

And you’ll see visible results in the mirror and gym in your first month on the program.

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

● The 10 biggest fitness myths and mistakes that keep guys frail and confused. For example, “calories are all that matters,” “carbs and sugars make you fat,” and “some guys don’t have the genetics to get big.”

● The primary driver of muscle growth that 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 foods you love so you never feel starved, deprived, or like you're "on a diet" (and especially a “bodybuilding diet”).

● A 12-month workout program that shows you how to use principles and methods taught in the book to build a full chest, wide shoulders and back, powerful legs, and strong arms.

● 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.

And that’s not all, either . . .

● Bigger Leaner Stronger is one of the most popular bodybuilding books of all time, with over 800,000 copies sold in 16 languages, and it has helped tens of thousands of men of all ages and abilities transform their body composition, fitness, and health.

● 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 is regularly revised based on the latest findings in nutrition, exercise, and supplementation research, with the latest version (fourth edition) released in 2023.

Here’s the bottom line:

You can get that head-turning “Hollywood hunk” body without following weird, extreme, or complicated diet, exercise, or supplementation methods or strategies.

And this workout book for men shows you how.

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

Any additional comments?

Not only is this book very simple to follow, but it's incredibly honest. The fitness industry is filled with people/companies trying to shove unnecessary products/services down our throats, and this book doesn't do ANY of that.

Moreover, Mike even goes above and beyond to point out things that we might have THOUGHT were legitimate, and are complete fallacies. If you're looking for a great fitness book, look no further.

Well written, full of detail, excellent!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, there's a lot of misinformation in the fitness community. This book breaks down the right approach in a scientific, yet easily readable, format. The author doesn't BS around, it's very straightforward and isn't sugar-coated...brass-tacks. Also, it's hard not to like Mike, he's charismatic and conversational.

Reads a little slow

Reads a little slow. Play it at 1.5 speed and it's better. Great info to get you started.

Don't sign up for this (2-5 spam emails a day)

This book was great, however after reading it I've been receiving wait lose emails 2/4 times a day. I'm confident in saying this guys book was the culprit because the email associated is newer and hasn't been entered anywhere. Save your self the frustration of spam and buy the paperback. I don't support any brand selling off their email list to marketers.

Potentially life altering!

I'm getting on this program as soon as I finish my upcoming competition in 4 weeks. Can't wait to see the results!

Great information

I have yet to start Mike's workout routine, but this book has been very valuable to me. He states numerous facts about nutrition and training that I didn't know prior, while effectively backing them up with immense amounts of research. He also disproves many of the exercise and diet myths that I had heard and even believed with convincing evidence. This is, in my opinion, a great book for laymen like myself who have not done in-depth study into the world of strength training.

another happy and satisfied student

I'm 52 years of age and have managed to stay in pretty good shape mostly due to simple thinking and approach... This book is the Bible of fitness as far as I'm concerned... from A to Z, full of Vital Information... No Frills no gimmicks no shortcuts... The way it should be... totally satisfied and excited to continue with these teachings... Thanks so much

Excellent Book For Beginners

The only downside is that it's difficult to revisit a certain part of the book. Other than that, I highly recommend it to beginners and to experts as a reference.

Eye Opener

Mike gets back to basics, personally coming from a football background throughout high school and college emphasis was always put on heavy progressive compound lifting.

After stepping away from sports I began lifting and was stuck in the "bro cycle". My body had changed in a great way with the introduction of high rep pump workouts because I had built up a base from football. However results soon plateaued and I listened to the likes of youtube fitness stars and changed my exercises frequently to shock the muscles and worked different rep ranges.

I soon "peaked" and was continuing to make little to no changes in years to come and thought that this was just paying my dues and the process would be agonizingly slow.

We are fed lies from the fitness industry plain and simple. Once I listened to this book and snapped out of the broscience I got back to basics and after tracking my results both strength and nutrition in just a short 5 week period I've seen enormous changes compared to the slow progression under lightweight pump workouts.

My weights have gone up, most importantly major muscle groups are growing faster than when I first started during my "newbie gains" period back years ago. I think this new growth rate is credit to both having a vastly higher knowledge of excersise form and nutrition etc then when I first started back in high school but most importantly the philosophy mike preaches. Regardless the point stands.... muscles are reacting better then I remember them reacting when I first began years ago.

If you are a natural lifter this book is the gospel plain and simple. There is no if and's or but's. Regardless of if your brand new or a few years in from related experience be it sports or broscience. Give this book a read and you won't regret it.

eye opening and full of fitness tips

this book is incredible in terms of facts/fitness information and showing me the way to go in order to achieve my best self.
