It's a refreshing presentation that I have the pleasure of following. I've
been a student of bodybuilding for years but have not exerted the dedication
or consistency necessary to achieve great results. I've always taken good care
of my mind and body. Now, I'm retired and find time, daily, to pursue my
goals, one of which is fine tuning what I have left to work with. I'm
presently 62 years old and have no physical infirmities. Since studying your
recommendations I must say I'm impressed with my gains. Diet + consistency +
reps to fail have made my workouts interesting and productive. I'm in the gym
at most 50 min. Enough about me, just wanted to let you know how valuable your
course has been to me.
Your program never ceases to move and motivate me each time I review its
contents. I enjoy reading through, time and again, your theory and reasoning
especially when I can use a "kick in the Proverbial gluteus
maximums/minimums"

Hi Francesco,
First and foremost I have to thank you for your MuscleNow book. I have been
working out for the past 5 years and not seen as much improvement as I have
had in the past 8 weeks using your advice. Thank you so much for your help.

Dear Francesco,
I'm living a dream since I bought your book. First of all, I've been
profoundly inspired by your own story described on your web page. It's not
necessary to be J.F. Kennedy or Gandhi to receive noble homages because the
greatness of an individual is measure by it's own unlimited convictions, his
firm determination and his faith.
Since following your INCREDIBLY well synchronized fitness program I have
been totally addicted to, at least, weekly improvements. Also of the utmost
importance, that really INCREDIBLE diet, I mean the magic touch!!!
Now I'm blinded by the project to resemble as close as possible, and at
same age (85 years) to Jack La Lanne ( 32-inch waist,44 -inch chest, 15-inch
biceps, resting cardiac rate of Olympic athlete ).
God timeless bless you, Francesco and receive my unspeakable respect,
including my profound admiration. Thank you so much.

Hello Francesco,
I have to SERIOUSLY THANK YOU for putting together the most sound
informational weight lifting guide I have ever seen published. Until
discovering your program, only Bill Pearl could write such an authoritative
guide on lifting. Before I praise your systems completely, may I please relate
this story to you:
When I first got your MuscleNow! program, I was so excited to read it cover
to cover. When I got to the actually exercise outline, my jaw dropped! The
thing that really struck me the most with your 5 day program is that it is
ALMOST EXACTLY like the one I use to do when I was in high school back in
1986-1990. I ACCIDENTALLY made a chart of exercises to do, based on all the
reading I had done (I was only 14 when I started then) using Mr. Pearl's book
of wisdom at the time. My friends and I use to work out everyday after school
in the shed behind my parents house, RELIGIOUSLY! We all had excellent results
on it then, but the one kid that really made the most improvement and results
was the skinniest one of us all. IF he reached the last rep and had it in him
he would do at least 2 more reps, when he didn't have it in him, he would do
3-4. His veins would pop out of his head, face red and purple, but man, this
guy was intense! After several weeks we had modified the program and kept logs
to get the right amount of weight for the right set and reps, including the
staggering of reps and sets as you outline in your program. We didn't have the
diet thing down pat, or every other aspect of your program, so the
improvements were not as quick as yours are now that I am doing the program
some 12 years later. But now, there is actually a why and how it works,
including diet and rest and every major and minor component to accomplishing a
high level of fitness in the most efficient manner! Hail to you sir!!!
Oh, and I have to tell you. Upon getting the book, I went out and purchased
a Weider X55 Rack weight system with an excellent bench that accommodates
preacher and leg extensions quite well. I threw down some industrial carpet I
got for only $22.00 in the garage, and threw some full sized department store
dressing room mirrors I got for NOTHING on the wall behind the rack as well. I
have an actual AWESOME Gym in my garage now. Also got the heart monitor and
made some EXCELLENT charts that I would like to furnish to you if you wish.
If I should ever meet you, (live in NJ), I want to personally shake your
hand. I would also like to show you my training diary, I think you will
approve. I also have to mention to you and your readers of this testimonial, I
made attempts to contact some of the people on your website by locating their
name and addresses through dialing 411 to see if they were real people or if
you made it up. Your site seems too good to be true to be real. Well guess
what, you are a man I could be friends with sir, and not that I wanted to
question your integrity, but you here stories of scams on the internet these
days all the time. Well, I was able to contact several people from your
testimony pages and they all good things to say about your program. It was
then I made my purchase with confidence!
Which brings me to one last note, and please include this as well. When
others have tried to look in my journal, (which included your book), I let
them have a look or two, but only for a minute. Sadly, they want to COPY what
they feel is the pertinent information and that it's ok because I already
purchased it. Well friend, I look at them and tell them honestly, I cannot.
Your book is a pure product of dedication and a true human endeavor to empower
other people with tools for getting in shape. You outlaid the time, the
materials to get published, you should be rewarded for your efforts. What's
sadder yet is when they look at me with a look of, "You're kidding right, let
me copy it..." I now realize that we live in the day of Napster and such, and
letting people copy your book would be the same as going into a library or
Barnes and Noble and simply copying or shoplifting it's just not right!
SO, whoever reads this. I give Francesco full permission to list my phone
number, (732)741-6856 here in New Jersey. I offer any advice or answers to
anyone who is weary of purchasing this program. I don't work or get a
commission from Francesco, but I will tell you in advance, as you can see on
his site, he does reward others for promoting it, this is true. You see, he
honestly has integrity and understands the principles of money. It works when
you use it as the tool it was meant to be used so others can spend it equally.
Again, I won't be able to give you details of the program if you are looking
for an cheating edge. It's just that his system is so holistic, that any one
part of it alone, while beneficial, will not serve you well enough for your
investment in time. HIS SYSTEM IS THAT COMPLETE! Complete knowledge, no
fallacy! (PS - I'm an engineer, it's why I am so excited about your program as
well. I am one of those people who are obsessed about data and yours is
sound!)
Ok, I've witnessed enough. Thank you again for the program and thank you if
you should post this on your site. I will continue to encourage others to be
better through this knowledge. Good work and God Bless you sir!
AN UPDATE FROM JOHN:
"Hello" to all who are still wondering and waiting to buy this incredible
book. And "Hello again" to all of you who have contacted me and asked
questions about ordering. I've spoken to no less than 20 people from around
the world, including Australia this evening (India was the furthest call I
received up to now) and I have welcomed and enjoyed speaking with everyone who
has considered purchasing this book.
I wanted to let everyone know that I am resuming working out with the
Muscle Now program once again. Things had gotten hectic in the past year with
some career changes here as well as a beautiful baby boy born in November
(http://home.comcast.net/~kaijames/), so working out had to go to the bottom
of the task list for a while. I just cleaned and reorganized the garage where
I have a home gym set up and I have started a 2 week pre-workout routine to
get my body and muscles acclimated to lifting weights again. I wanted to add
another update to this site to reassure you that I am a REAL person who is
using this system and I still swear by it to this day. I will be posting some
before and after pictures on my next email, as well as a link to where you can
download the workout charts I have designed, the food diary, the cardio
fitness level, the weight gain or loss chart and some other miscellaneous
files I will be putting on the net so you can keep track of your workouts
using the Muscle Now system. I am going to furnish it ONLY to those of you who
have ordered the book from Francesco and who he will authenticate as having
ordered it so as NOT to give away any of his intellectual property here.
I still maintain the same integrity with keeping this book a secret from
prying eyes and inquiring minds and should add that Francesco has done the
same with his promise to pay a $20 referral fee for all of those people who
have ordered the book from him as well. Because I believe in this system so
much, I asked Francesco to send me instead, a copy of Fat Vanish instead,
which he did, as I really didn't want his money. He was also kind enough to
send an extra copy of Muscle Now as well. And I cannot stress this enough, his
program is worth $HUNDREDS$ of dollars more, if you were to go and hire a
personal fitness trainer, motivation coach and dietician anywhere else and
EVEN MORE when you consider that you WON'T be throwing away money on expensive
powder, pills and drinks that JUST DON'T WORK!
Finally, I still welcome ALL of your calls and I apologize to one of you
who called recently as I was indisposed of at that exact moment. I look
forward to anyone else who needs assurance and personal testimony of how well
this system works. I look forward to my next post which will outline my before
and after results with pictures next time.

Francesco,
I have had your course for a bit over two years now and while I have not
been as diligent at following it as I should have, I can tell you that the
times I did get serious and followed your instructions, I, as well as the
regulars at the health club I attended, noticed the rapid results. Yes, when
you follow the plan, it DOES work! The fact it works shouldn't be surprising
but what is surprising is that I am 65 YEARS OLD and it works for me!
I am not necessarily trying to be a body builder at my age but am just
trying to forestall and avoid the infirmities of aging that will, eventually,
happen to us all. And I think that I have been pretty successful, too, when I
look at many of those in my age group, and even younger; a lot younger, in
some cases. I know I look and feel better, have maintained my balance and
agility (which is a problem with many of us "seniors") and have continued a
"zest" for life I find missing in many.
I do use the health club machines instead of free weights to avoid possible
injury but, again, I am not looking to maximize muscle development.
I guess the message I would give to any "seniors" that might happen on your
web site, is this: Get your doctor's approval, follow the "MuscleNOW" program
at whatever level is appropriate for you and START!
IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO GET IN SHAPE!

Francesco,
This is my first e-mail so let me start by saying I already know this was a
wise purchase. Your no-nonsense, non-supplement approach is exactly what I
have been searching for. I was skeptical at first, but to say I am no longer
skeptical is a vast understatement. You see I too have been duped by the
industry, not to the extent you have, but duped all the same. You were
absolutely right in your statements pertaining to the nonexistence of a
completely mapped out program. I have read tons of books and tried many
different supplements. All I have to show for it is a 4 pack of fat covered
abs resting on top of some love handles. After several diets and trials of
programs I have realized one thing. Lack of knowledge leads to lack of
results, which in turn leads to laziness and of course lackluster physique. I
am very enthused to finally have a diet and exercise regimen laid out for me
in plain English that only requires my effort.

Hi Francesco,
This time I'm not asking you any questions. You know I'm now on fourth week
of your program, and I'm feeling changes in my physique. Previously It was
really difficult for me to see such changes in months.
Anyway, you know these days, at gym, guys are surprised to see changes in
my physique. Now, every time I go for gym, guys out there are asking me for
some workout information. I think now they're treating me as I'm a
professional though I'm not. Actually, now they're not hesitant to ask me
questions. I thought that's the miracle of your program. Further, my own
trainer's is amazed. Previously, everyone seems to ignore me as I'm not in the
gym. but these days, there's difference. Some of my fellow, who's started at
the same date, are now far behind than me and they're also amazed. Now,
they're saying that this is because of breed, some says because of supplements
etc. But, i know the secret myself. And, i'm not going to tell this secret to
anyone, until and unless, someone questions, " what is your source for
success?"
Ok Francesco, this email is just to inform you my first step towards
success. Thanks for your program again.

Francesco Castano ruined my voice, and I'll explain why at the end
of this true story. Months and months back, I was well into working
out...psychologically. True, I was attempting all kinds of exercises (most
centered on widely varied pushup and abdominal routines) yet I did not have a
solid foundation on which to work. I was using a resistance gizmo for arms and
shoulders, and to shape my abs I, and I confess it in writing here, used a
product endorsed by a former sitcom star. Low I'd sunk indeed. All this
however, was replaced with weight training. Ah yes, I'd discovered the wonder
and benefits of old school iron pumping. The only problem remained which
exercises to do? Which were most effective? I poured over paper (Muscle
magazines) trying to piece together the ultimate workout. Then, after many
dollars and many paper cuts, I found Francesco's MUSCLENOW. Here, in this
relatively thin book, were all the "secrets" I needed from a man who's been
where I was. Francesco's system works. You will loose bodyfat, you will get
bigger, you will get ripped. You will experience that surge of adrenaline and
that wave of triumphant intensity when you crank out your last rep of your
last set on a high set week (cycling, you'll read all about it). I don't
endorse anything...ever. I don't wear company shirts, or hats with logos, I
detest brand names. I'm endorsing Francesco because this past summer everyone
I knew asked me what supplement (even steroid) I was taking. And they
continued to ask me over and over, because they couldn't believe that I
could've attained my physique NATURALLY, without any high-priced
six-page-ad-in-the-fitness-mag-guaranteeing-fat loss/muscle
gain-in-three-weeks-or-your-money-back. Thus, I had to explain, over and over
continually, that I was on no supplement, and that I needed no supplement,
simply that I was on an incredible workout program. Yes, Francesco Castano
gave me laryngitis, but he also gave me a body that becomes more finely
chiseled each and every week. So I guess we're even.

I cannot find the words to THANK you for your time in answering my
questions! If anything, your support, faith, and dedication to your system -
and to your clients- is SO INSPIRING TO ME that in turn, makes me want to 'not
let you down' at all by sticking to your recommendations. You just cannot
realize the enthusiasm you give to me by your excellent support. I am so
hyped! God Bless!

Francesco,
I just wanted to let you know how much I am improving since getting
IncrediBody MuscleNOW! I've trained for almost 10 years and I was going
nowhere fast. Heavy Duty had me all screwed up thinking that less was more,
but I wasn't getting any bigger. Hell I was "under training"! And here I
thought I was a hard gainer. I make gains every week. I'm getting great pumps,
even during the day I feel pumped. I hope you reach other bodybuilders who
think they are overtraining. This system works!
You truly dispel the myths about bodybuilding and are helping hundreds of
people in the process. If there's any way I can offer you some sort of help,
let me know.

Hi Francesco,
First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent book. I
have spent hundreds of pounds in the past, trying to get a better body (most
of that went on EAS supplements!), and your book has answered all the
questions I have ever needed to know. It's exactly what I have been searching
for!
There are so many useless body building programs out there, people need to
know that yours is the best around. I will recommend it to everyone I know!
Keep up the good work, you are the answer to all body builders prayers.

I can truly attest that your book is not only one of the most thorough
documents I have ever read, but it is truly inspired genius. I am no
exaggerator, so for me to say that is for it to be said with great conviction,
under tough scrutiny. From one believer to another, I can see that you work
not simply for men, but as an act of worship of and unto God... through which
He has truly inspired you. Thank you!

Francesco,
I am so glad that I did not hesitate to order your course because by
waiting I would have only been postponing making progress. I really appreciate
the comprehensive nature of the course. You address all the pertinent aspects
of the program fully. Also, you describe in the course some of the things that
must be avoided that will lead to failure. I had made some of those mistakes
before but thought that my failure was do to me personally just not having
what it takes to succeed. It was so incredibly refreshing to hear someone else
express having had the same difficulties, I no longer felt alone. And with the
answers you give to deal with those problems, I now know how to avoid those
setbacks.
I can tell by just reading through it that you know what you are talking
about. I get a strong feeling that your advice is down-to-earth, borne of
experience, without the hype. I have started into the program and am already
seeing results! Thanks so much for a top rate product. I spent years and years
struggling, trying all kinds of approaches, but now I feel as though I have
found the direction I needed.

I must say at first I was skeptical. I have been lifting weights
for almost 3 years, I know that's not to long, but in those 3 years I have
done every diet and supplement out there, and nothing has compared to your
diet workout plan, straight up bro thanks. I can honestly say I have seen more
results (quickly) in 3 weeks then I have in 3 years.

Hello Francesco:
I just wanted to say thank you for the enlightenment and the help you gave
me to start the program. I just completed the first 5 week cycle and I have
had great results, and others who see me confirm my progress. I work out alone
at home where I feel comfortable and thanks to your help you emailed me about
the diet and routine repeatedly. Since I am blind I had a bit of trouble
initially, but again your help got me going.

I've been lifting for many years and had succumbed to the
bodybuilding magazine fraud. More sets, more exercises, etc. I have to say
that your course is the most comprehensive material on the subject that I've

finally starting to get out of the non-progress that has had me stymied for so
many years!
All I can say is thank you!

27 years ago I learned of a man who wrote a book on fishing. One
of his quotes was "knowledge is the key to fishing success". You have already
answered one E-mail question about my age and I have confidence in what you
say is the truth. Your one statement about Knowledge was a reminder of what I
have been using in fishing for years. I have already accomplished in fishing
what I have strived for and still learning all the time.
People are funny, as soon as you mention that this knowledge will cost a
little money they shy away. I teach fishing as you teach how to make your body
the way you want it to be. I only teach fishing to those willing to learn and
would starve to death if I did it full time. Only a small handful are willing
to dedicate their time and effort at anything to get good at it or long enough
to see results. Just saying that I have confidence in you and me!

I've read through your course, and am impressed with the thought

years now, but my workouts and diet have been without direction. I was looking
for a well defined plan which I could follow, and it seems I have found it.
Nothing in your course contradicts anything I have ever read, only emphasizes
the important details and puts it all together in one package.

unbelievable source of valuable information! I would have gladly bought this
ten years ago along with a lot of other people if it had been around then. You
have made the difference in night and day in what a person can actually
achieve if they follow this to the letter. Also the email availability is an
invaluable tool for anyone to utilize if they are serious like I am. Again I
cannot THANK YOU ENOUGH for all your research and hard work that went into
this program! I am blown away at how well this program really works.

First of all I have to say you have written a fantastic book. That
was no doubt the easiest, most comprehensive book I have ever read about
weightlifting. It was so informative. Once I started reading it I couldn't put
it down. By reading your book I learned that anything is possible with the
right diet and exercise and that really motivated me. I can't wait to get
started. I have to say I was a little skeptical at first but you really know
what your talking about. I'm glad I ordered your book.

As you know, I started your MuscleNOW program 20 weeks ago. I
stuck with it the whole time with only a few misc days that I had to miss, or
a few times I had to skip a body part due to lack of time. All in all, great
improvement! I would venture to say this is the best pack of information I
have found. I have truly learned this is a science and that there definitely
is no easy way of doing things, but there is a right way. Many of the
infomercials out now always try to give the appeal of (getting something you
want without hardly doing anything.)
Pure B.S.
Lastly, whether you follow this program or not is one thing, but you can
never say you didn't know how if you get the program.

Hello,
I just wanted to say that your customer service is truly exceptional. I
originally bought your course in 1997. I didn't apply myself and I forgot
about it. Four years later I found it again and decided to request any updates
from you ( I remember that was one of the benefits of your program), and to my
pleasant surprise you replied and I received my new material within the week.
You have always been very helpful with my questions and reply promptly. If any
one is skeptical about your company, they shouldn't be. You really stand
behind what you promise. Thank you.

Your approach makes so much sense to me now. I've been at it for 3
weeks and the results are quite good already: my energy level is up, and I
look upon this 'regiment' as a welcome way of life: the benefits of
disciplined activity, adequate amounts of good foods at the right times,
rigorous but prudent cycle approach, and proper rest, obviously yields more
than just muscle size: your whole being undergoes a healthy transformation. At
52, I actually look forward to doing this as permanently as God will allow.
Now I hope that I can help someone else stop wasting their time. Once you
have been helped , you feel responsible in turn, to pass it on. It's hard to
see others working so hard to achieve so little gain.
I can only thank you once again.

I have to thank you!! About 2 years ago I was into a pretty good

nutrition aspects.... basically I was eating like crap (college life :) ...
While I did eventually gain some muscle I have to say that in 4 weeks time on
your plan I have gained more in strength and muscle mass than I did in 4
months previously!!
Thanks a bunch!

Francesco,
First and foremost I would like to commend you on your wonderful training
guide. Its exactly what I was looking for; a detailed step by step guide on
how to really gain natural muscle mass and lose fat.
I've been training now for two years and although I have made some gains I
have also gained a lot of fat as well. It's so frustrating when you've put so
much effort into your workouts and then meeting someone you haven't seen for a
year saying, " Nick, you've gained a some weight there I see. " It totally
defeats the whole purpose of training. Your training hard in the gym and your
friends are thinking that you have just been stuffing your face with
doughnuts!
This was all due to the fact that I had no real concrete training guide. I
had previously bought so many bodybuilding books and magazines and studied
them religiously. However, I still had no clear system of training that I
could be confident was going to work. So I'd kind of hit a brick wall and had
almost given up in frustration.
That was until I came across your web site. Your guide has given me the
real no nonsense information on how to achieve results. The information
contained on your manual is exactly the information I was looking for and it
answered all my questions. This information I had failed to find in other
books and magazines. Which I am now realizing to be so much nonsense
information with selfish motives behind it rather than real tried and tested
information, which has been given to benefit bodybuilders.
For example one article I had read advised that anyone who was a vegetarian
would never be able to make serious muscle gains as a test proved that meat
consumption was essential in gaining muscle mass. Me being a lacto vegetarian
found this very discouraging. I then found out that Bill Pearl and also Al
Beckles were strict vegetarians and they had 21 inch arms! I cant believe
people are allowed to write so much rubbish.
I would just like to say how grateful I am to your training guide, it gives
a complete guide, and HONEST information without all the rubbish you find in
other guides which flood you with information you don't really want to know
and fail to give you the information you want to know. I just feel sorry for
the new bodybuilders out there who have no real guide to training.
But here comes the real proof. Since being on your program I have made some
serious gains in muscle mass while achieving leanness at the same time. Guys
at work have been asking me if I've been on steroids! This is while I have
been on a restricted caloric diet, as I have needed to loose some body fat. I
cant wait until I start increasing calories I'm really looking forward to the
gains i will make.
Your advice on sticking to one or two basic movements instead of lots of
varied ones is really working. Just sticking to flat and incline bench press
my chest is really growing! My chest was a real problem area. I knew your
advice made sense but the proof speaks for itself.
Your knowledge of training and diet is very advanced and it is invaluable
to all natural bodybuilders out there. I would recommend your program to
anyone!
All I can say is thank you so much! I'm just so grateful.

Hello Francesco,
I would like to thank you for this program. I have made great advances in
the shape of my body in a very short amount of time. Your book replaced my
personal trainer which cost me much, much more.

Hello Francesco,
My name is Marko and I have gained some of the best results by following
your suggestions. I lost the water weight from taking creatine and people I
know come up to me and ask me what supplements I've been taking it's a great
feeling.

Hello Francesco,
First off, I'd just like to say that you, sir, are a genius. How you ever
managed to figure out both the perfect training methods and the perfect
carbohydrate/protein ratios is a mystery. And as far as I'm concerned, the
money I spent to buy that information from you is by far the best money I've
ever spent. Over the years since I bought your course, I've used Plans C and D
at different times, and I've experienced miraculous gains from both. You can't
imagine how cool it is to be able to ask you questions.
Anyway, thank you, Francesco. You're the best!

Francesco,
I wanted to say thank you for being a voice of sanity out there. It is so
helpful to have your manual to refer to (I probably know most of it by heart.)
And I think you must be alone in being the only "expert" around who isn't
spending 90% of your time evaluating and recommending supplements of one kind
or another. THANK YOU!!!

Hi Francesco,
Been using the system for mass gains and am very impressed. I've read and
tried stuff by Ian King, Charles Staley, Charles Poliquin, et al. and yours is
the BEST and most clearly thought-out system I've seen, and this is coming
from a guy who has read almost everything out there on the subject and tried
quite a few of them. Count me as another very satisfied customer.

I just wanted to thank you for your program. My youngest son saw
an ad in a muscle magazine and asked me to buy your program as a Christmas
present. I was very skeptical. I don’t like buying things on the internet. But
he begged and promised he would follow through with the program. I was still
skeptical. But I thought it might be what he needed to get his life back on
track. He was an excellent athlete a few years back before he went under a
surgeon’s knife that left his equilibrium out of "whack" and his hearing
compromised. His life began a downward spiral that lasted for 4 years. Within
the past 3 months I have seen such a dramatic change in his body as well as
his emotional well being, that I just had to thank you. He and his older
brother are very dedicated to "working" your program. They both have most of
their friends, now going to the gym and working out. To see my 17-year-old and
my 21-year-old sons choosing exercise and good nutrition over all of the other
negative options in life makes a mom’s heart beat with a gratitude that you
can’t imagine. Thanks.

Hello Francesco, just thought I'd drop you a quick note. I've been
on your program for two months, and have been very impressed with the results.
I haven't followed it all to a "T" like I wish I could but, I've now got about
as much muscle as I've ever had in my life. It's almost strange having to
adjust to feeling all this new mass on me.
Also, I am a Vegan, so have been using pretty much just the soy products.

My fiancee is an exercise science major at Cedarville University.
Your book has been so helpful to me because I know what she is talking about
regarding lipids, proteins, carbs, etc., and how all that stuff is used in the
body and the effect it has on the body. I have come to the realization that
there are a number of disagreements in certain areas of exercise and food
intake, but one thing I keep coming back to is your approach of 'balance'.
Thank You, Francesco!

Thanks for the great program! I ordered it over a year ago, but
have really been using it consistantly in the last month or so. I am already
seeing great results in both appearance and strength so I figured I would just
contact you and thank you for all the hard work you must have put into this
program.

I have spent 3 years losing weight and gaining weight, trying what
every supplement out there. Never have i felt so comfortable in my own skin
until i found the internets natural steroid. With the help of Francesco my
confidence in and out side the gym has boosted. I've just started my second
week and though what i have written sounds corny i can't express how great it
feels to know your getting somewhere with your workouts and the nutrition
program is outstanding. Thanks again for giving me hope.

I purchased you MuscleNOW book six months ago. After carefully
reading it and working out my diet I began the program nearly five months ago
and must say I have had fantastic results. I was very optimistic before I read
your book but all my negative thoughts have well and truly been squashed.
Your book captures bodybuilding in its entirety. I now see the way I eat
and train as a way of life, not just a hobby. I had previously been training 2
years, much of it as wasted time !!
I am now in the process of fulfilling a dream and something I never thought
I could do and thats compete as a natural bodybuilder with the INBA federation
as a novice.
thanks heaps,

First let me thank you for the effort you put into this. You have
made my life a lot easier and have enabled me to reach my goals. It is obvious
the Lord used you, and He led me to your web sight. I am 28, and have been in
and out of the work out scene for 13 years. I averaged 155lbs at 6-0 tall. I
have had only minimal results using creatine and it affected my kidneys. I
have never seen enough results to keep me motivated. Just weeks after starting
your system, people started noticing my arms getting bigger and my shoulders.
Any way thank you. You have the only system that works as far as I am
concerned, I have tried numerous supplements, and none ever did what they
said, even through consistent work outs.
Again, Thank you.

I should probably also take this opportunity to give you a thank you. I
followed your program to the letter for about 6 months. the only exception was
that I simply could not eat the required amount of food. Whilst I did not get
huge gains in muscle size I did get a lot of comments. In fact I was walking
down the street and someone stopped me and asked me if I was a triathlete. And
my friend who played first class rugby league for ten years and was a personal
trainer told me he simply could not believe how fit I looked and what was I
doing?
In short, whilst I did not put on more that about 4kg it did change my
physique and my look greatly which I am very pleased with.

What can I say, we need more people like you in the world today
who strive to do things the right way without falling victim to quick fixes
and easy ways out that are often dumb and dangerous. I remember when I was
just getting into working out I badly wanted to improve my physique not too
particularly be the biggest guy but just so I could fill out my clothes better
and be in better shape. I initially bought the so called fitness and
bodybuilding magazines but I was just dumbfounded by the way they all tried to
convince me in order to be in shape I had to take one drug or supplement or
the other. I vowed that if I couldn't achieve a solid physique using the
natural food products God himself placed on this Earth then it wasn't worth it
and I would happily remain as God had made me. So I just continued to work out
and eat good solid balanced meals but with no really outstanding results, as I
continued to search for a program that was legit which, for some reason, I was
so sure existed somewhere out there one day I decided to search the internet
and BAM! I found your Muscle Now site. I was blown away by the honesty and
passion with which you talked about your program and I could relate
immediately because I was so unconvinced by the whole drug and supplement
crazed magazines out there, and there my journey began. Your program has
helped me achieve all that I wanted and more and to be honest I haven't even
been able to stick directly to it 100% but just by putting the basic ideas and
principles together and doing the best I could with what I have I have totally
transformed my physique. I look in the mirror sometimes and I can hardly
believe i'm looking at myself your program was worth every single cent and I
will stick to it for as long as I'm on this Earth because I know every single
rep and set and second I'm in the gym is going to give me results because of
your total program. So THANK YOU! God definitely answered my prayers through
you.

Your course is absolutely second to none. I have been following it for close to 2 months now and I have seen some amazing results already.
Lots of complements also, I sing on a worship team at my church, and one Sunday I was wearing a form fitting shirt and many people let me know how great I looked. I have not been following the diet as strictly as I should be, but am getting a lot better.
Thanks again,
Chad Slater Lethbridge Alberta, Canada

Blake Saunders - Boulder, CO
I weightlifted for a period of about 3 years trying everything from 6 day a week training to Mike Mentzer's approach. I failed completely to gain any mass during that entire 3 years. When I started your program I gained mass to the point that the difference was visible within a week! I continued on your program for a month getting stronger every time I worked out. It was great! You are a great man for figuring out such a good non-steroid program and cutting through all the bull. I had given up for a long time before I saw your program. I wasn't even looking for a weightlifting program anymore, I was just reading about testosterone and I saw your site and ordered the program.

Greetings from Brunei Darussalam. When I received the MuscleNow training manual, I can't tell you how extremely excited I was, and I wasted no time in reading it.
Wow! Talk about a boat- load of valid bodybuilding information! Your training program has everything I ever wanted to know, and has definitely more than all those muscle building training programs that I have invested before. They're very clear and easy to follow and to comprehend too. Some of the information in the training manuals I purchased in past were valid though as they did provide me with some result but lack in other areas which are quite crucial for the drug-free builders, such as nutrition. They are either incomplete or totally don't make any sense! But your nutritional program has, by far, surpassed every single bit of the hundreds of bodybuilding nutrition theories that I have ever come across!
The nutritional information that you outline in your MuscleNow training manual is unique and one of its kind. I have never come across such a well-written and briliantly structured nutrition plan. It helps me clear, if not all, but most of the confusion over the diet issue, and you pretty well know it that this is one area in bodybuilding which is the most debated and confused topic in the fitness community. Finally, my long search for the prefect and personalised nutritional plan is over.
Even after just training for 2 weeks, I have already been able to grasp attention and turn heads, especially among gym mates and few young iron-pumpers in the local gym where I train. Some of them, even don't say a word about what they see, but you know you can tell that they notice something different about you from the looks on their faces. Of course, the progress I've made thus far is still on a small scale, and I believe I'm still far from maxing out in terms of my personal muscular development (God knows how much muscle building potential He has in store for me) But with God's grace and your training aid, I strongly believe I will make a whole lot of muscle- packing pounds faster and larger than anything esle that I have ever tried before (judging from the amount of progress made and the rate at which it is going). So, keep your head up and e-mail checked, and be on look out for a guy from Brunei Darussalam in weeks or few months to come, whose bodybuilding gains stem solely, genuinely and legitimately from the MuscleNow training system.
Well, let's not get too excited, shall we. I am a type of person who gets easily turned up especially anything that concerns bodybuilding training and diet information which is truly effective and revolutionary.
Yours Truly,
Jeffery B Maharip Brunei Darussalam
