No matter what your body shape, you do have the potential to develop impressive amounts of size and strength - in just 16 weeks! The mainstream body-building-style approach to strength training does not work for everyone and many men train hard with distinctly underwhelming results. The news is that if you are an ectomorph (scrawny) you need to start treating your body differently if you want to build muscle and strength. Author John Berardi, who speaks from personal experience of extreme scrawniness, explains what you have to do in the gym and in the kitchen to gain the weight and the muscle you long to have. A complete and detailed training programme runs alongside a comprehensive nutritional system that tells you exactly what to eat when and what supplements to take. Explaining the science behind the advice on what to do and eat, the authors help you to understand and realise your goals. From here on in you're in control of your own physical destiny!
