Scrawny To Brawny: The Complete Guide to Building Muscle the Natural Way

by Michael Mejia, John Berardi, Michael Mejia C.S.C.S.

Rodale Books | April 2, 2005 | Trade Paperback

A state-of-the-art weight-lifting and nutritional blueprint for "skinny" guys who want to pack on muscle

Let''s face it, naturally skinny guys are at a distinct genetic disadvantage when it comes to building muscle mass. But with the proper advice, these "hardgainers" definitely can realize their fitness goals. In Scrawny to Brawny, the authors draw on their years of practical experience as private strength and nutrition coaches to provide hardgainers with:
o A progressive, state-of-the-art program that optimizes results with shorter, less frequent workouts that maximize compound exercises
o A unique, action-based perspective on nutrition that shows how to prepare quick muscle-building meals and snacks-and how to take advantage of several critical times in the day when muscle growth can be stimulated by food intake
o Vital information on how to identify and fix any weak links in their physiques that may be precursors to injury

Designed not only for frustrated adult hardgainers but also-with its strong anti-steroid message-a terrific book for the large teen market, Scrawny to Brawny fills a significant gap in the weight-lifting arsenal.

    Mejia and Berardi have crafted a great program. Their training and nutrition concepts are easy to understand. What I liked most, is the fact that they take into account central nervous system fatigue which many other workout programs neglect, as well, they show how various movements should be performed by people of various body shapes.
