I want to thank you again for all your help, it has really done a
lot for me. I used your program for about a couple months and noticed some
pretty good improvements. Once I found the right amount of calories to take in
daily, my body responded very quickly. But then I had to take a month off for
finals, spring break, and to make sure my schedule was fixed. By doing this, I
lost 8 lbs!!! After this, I went back to the gym with a vengeance and regained
the lost 8 lbs, plus added on another new 8 lbs of muscle in a little less
than a month!!! I am the heaviest I've ever been at 158 lbs. For the longest
time I could not tip the scale over 148, but your program changed that pretty
easily. There are some guys that have worked out consistently which I looked
up to before, now it seems like it's the other way around. People have been
asking me what I've done to make such improvements. I tell them a little and
if they are interested, I give them your website to look at. The other day, I
went into the gym to do squats, but there was already a guy using the only
squat rack, so I decided to do leg press instead (which I don't like as much,
it's not as good of an exercise). Anyway, I easily did five reps of 600 lbs
(which is a lot for me). I am two plates away from leg curling the whole stack
on the leg curl machine we have in our gym. My bench has gone from 135 to 175
in the last month (some being muscle memory, but it still impresses people
when I tell them). I know it's not that much weight, but for ME and my body
type, it is.
AN UPDATE FROM KRIS:
I have been doing well. I have been sticking to your program for a little
over five months straight and have gained about thirty-five pounds!!!
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM KRIS:
It has been a long time since I have e-mailed you. I wanted to update you
on my progress. I have been doing your program for a long time now. Here is a
description of where I have come from:
I know I could have gained a lot more weight and strength in a shorter
time, but I didn't want to eat anymore than I was already eating (I have a
really fast metabolism). I am happy with where I'm at, I am going to increase
my caloric intake again to try to get my weight up to 205 or 210, though. It
is amazing how fast the gains come when you are willing to put in the effort
to eat like a horse. Within the first three months I gained thirty lbs. and
started gaining slower because I didn't want to eat that much more. Who knows,
if I really wanted to, I could be around 230 now! I never thought I would
weigh more than 150. It's hard to believe I am close to 200 lbs. A bunch of
people I know have shown a genuine interest in my gains, so I referred them to
your site.
I have gotten COUNTLESS compliments from people who know me from the gym or
school or church. I have a few pictures I have been meaning to send, but my
scanner has been broken for almost a year now (don't hate me). The pictures
are before and after pictures of me at 143 lbs and 175 lbs. So, the after
pictures aren't recent now. The after pictures were before any calorie cuts,
so I am holding a little more water weight than desired, but they are still
impressive. I will try to find a way to send them to you as I know they will
help you out a lot. My e-mail is madindian_kk@yahoo.com and I would be glad
for you to put it on your website.
A THIRD UPDATE FROM KRIS:
I have gained another 1/4 inch on my arms since my last email to you 8 days
ago. I have something else to tell you. When going from 143 to 165, I didn't
use any supplements. When going from 165 to 188, I tried creatine off and on
to see if it had any effect. Since I gained just as much without it, I have
concluded it does little if anything to help gain useful weight. I wanted to
tell you this to be completely up front, but I do not think it's a big deal. I
didn't want to mislead you. I will continue to use what I have left just
because I spent my money on it and it has complex carbs in it that I count in
my post workout meal (the rest of the carbs in this meal are natural sugars).
After the product is gone, I will not use it anymore. I will prove it useless
by gaining more weight when done using it. In the end, most of my gains will
be free from the interference of supplementation to prove them unnecessary.
These natural gains will be before and after the use of supplementation to
show that supplementation was not necessary at all. Sorry for falling victim
to the advertising out there supporting these supplements. I guess we both
have fallen prey to them, it's hard for me to accept that I still fell prey to
them even after reading and understanding your program.

Jeff Weissman Gains 7 Pounds In Three
Weeks With MuscleNOW!
Hi Francesco. I want to update you on my progress so far. I have
completed 3 weeks of my first 6 week cycle. My weight has increased 7 lbs.
(184- 191). My biceps have each increased by 1/2 inch. My chest has increased
by 1 1/4 inch. And my waist has stayed the same. My wife is very impressed
with my results. I am so happy with your program. I look forward to every
workout and every meal because I have never been able to get results like this
so quickly.
Thanks for all your guidance.

Tom Bridges Gains 35 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I have finished by first month on the MuscleNOW! Program and am astounded at
the results. I have grown so much more than I had thought I would, I knew I
would grow but I was rather skeptical because I had been lifting for one year
and had long ago reached a plateau. Your program requires so much dedication,
but it has paid off. Fat levels are also declining (just as you said in the
book). I just thought I'd thank you for the program and tell you about my
progress. Thanks.
AN UPDATE FROM TOM: I want to say your program is great, I
started at just under 135 lbs (5'8'' tall) over a year ago and now weigh 160
at the same height. I have learned so much from that book and wanted to again
thank you for your program.
Hey Francesco, this is Josh Ghavidel. I just wanted to thank you
for putting together such a wonderful plan. I have not missed a workout and I
have stuck to the diet consistently. What do I have to show for it? Well, a
six pack, many compliments, and 10 more pounds of solid muscle!! I feel and
look much better than I ever have.
I do not mind at all if you use this message as a testimonial. I mean, if
someone reads mine, and that reading convinces him or her to buy your plan, I
would help out a person to reach their physical goals, and that is great. So
go ahead and use it
Thank you so much,
Josh Ghavidel San Antonio, TX
David Aronson Gains 2 Inches On His Biceps In 6 Weeks With
MuscleNOW!
I'm in the second cycle of your program. The first 6 week cycle
was pretty good-- I gained 2 inches on my arms and 2 and a half inches on my
chest.
Your program is great--it is the first comprehensive one I've ever seen. I
've made more progress in a month and a half than I did in a year and a half
without the proper information.
David Aronson Southampton, PA
Rob Chong Gains 22 Pounds, 5 Inches On His Chest, and 2 1/4 Inches
On His Biceps With MuscleNOW!
Hi Francesco
Just thought I'd drop you a line to say I am progressing pretty well. It is
coming up on my second year of training, and my progress has been pretty rapid
so far. I stick to the diet and exercise 3 times a week because of my
schedule. (I admit I have slacked off from time to time because of illness or
However I always train with as much intensity as I can.
For the first year I had to take it slow and ease myself into the exercise
program. You see I was still recovering from a very serious internal injury.
(Long story short, 3 days in intensive care, and a week under close
observation- 4-5 months off work. And still recovering 3 years later. I had
dropped down to less than 115 pounds because I couldn't eat properly. I was in
constant pain for over a year. Bouncing off the side of a mountain and busting
your liver wide open will do that to you. Not really something I like to think
about or remember. It was touch and go there for a few days.) Needless to say
any exertion, let alone exercise was totally out of the question at that
point. But a year afterwards, I wanted to do something that would get me back
to a mental & physical level that I have always wanted to be. I am a
"hardgainer," high metabolic rate etc. Or so I thought...
One of the only things I could do was to read and surf the net at that
time. I found your site one day and spent over 3 hours reading your material.
I took a gamble and made my first ever internet purchase. I ordered your book.
It came in the mail less than a week later. I have been re-reading it and
going over the lessons and sticking to the diet and exercise plans ever since.
My friends always comment on the incredible gains I have made and how much
better I look. My confidence levels are high and the funny thing is people are
now asking me for advice on how to exercise and get in shape!
I have all my exercise equipment including a very well built and designed
squat rack, lat pull down and exercise bench options from a Canadian company
called Northern Lights. I also have an exercise bike and treadmill. These were
all bought over a period of time as I progressed and funds became available to
me. (I hate going out in the cold in the Canadian Winter to a gym. I prefer to
have my own equipment and play my own music and go at my own pace.)
I have gained: 22 pounds of actual muscle mass, added:
(All these measurements were taken early in the morning after my six week
cycle, with relaxed muscles- not flexing.)
If anyone has any reservations about your program then all I can say is: If
you really want to do something good for yourself, then do not hesitate to get
started. Knowledge + Healthy Diet + Proper Exercise + Intensity + Perseverance
+ Patience = A state of being that will last a lifetime.
Take care and thanks for all the quick replies to my queries and the
knowledge necessary to get me back on the path to a full recovery.

Chris Liepe Gains 40 Pounds and Doubles Bench With
MuscleNOW!
I have been on your program since February 2002 and in the past 8
months have gone from 130lbs to 170lbs on a 5'9" frame. Needless to say, I
have experienced amazing results. Before starting the program I had
tremendously painful tendinitis in both shoulders and my left elbow. I could
hardly lift school books or a guitar without something hurting. I decided to
try the diet first to see if merely the nutrition aspect of things would help
my pain, and within a month my pain got much better, so I decided to try the
weight training, and though I had start slow, the gains just took off.
I started Bench Press going to failure at 90lbs, and am now at 185lbs.
Preacher Curls went from 40lbs to 105lbs THIS PROGRAM WORKS!!!! I was
completely skin and bones before starting this thing, and now I am getting
compliments from people left and right, and they have asked me how I have made
such progress in a short amount of time. I am looking forward to seeing what
future months will bring.
Nearly everything about my life has changed for the better this past year
thanks to this program. I feel stronger, more energetic, I sleep better.
Thank You.

Eric Naylor Gains 46 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I've gained 46 lbs in the last year and I haven't even followed the program
strictly because I have two kids and a wife who doesn't value my efforts as
much as I'd like. I have 8% body fat and I went from lifting 185 to 325 on
bench and 40lb dumbbell curls to 70lbs. I haven't kept track of my chest size
but I've gained 3 inches on my arms from 15 to 18 inches
I have a lot of friends and family who ask me what I've done to get so big
in the last year. When I tell them about the program and the free training
advice they all look at me with disbelief, and instead of the guys in the gym
asking me for bits and pieces of info I'll just refer them to the web page and
the testimonial section to convince them. I just want to make believers of the
sceptics who think I've done steroids.
I will continue to keep you updated of my progress and when I can I'll give
you before and after pics with dates because words only go so far. If there is
any work I can do for you as far as advertising I'd be glad to, as I am a card
holding member of the International Association of Fire Fighters and I will be
entering the Firefighter Challenge this coming year. What better way to get
your program out there even more than on a nationally televised program!
I'll talk to you soon!

Jim Neal Is No Longer A "Hardgainer" Because Of
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
the results from doing the muscle building program have been mind blowing!!
i always considered myself a "hardgainer". after reading your book, i realized
i was always misinformed. i started the 5 day plan, and after the first week,
i put on a 1/2 inch on each arm, and a whopping 3 inches on my chest!! your
program rocks!! i also lost an inch on my waist. i got so excited about the
very noticeable results that i forgot to measure my legs. i can't wait to see
what the results will be in 6 mos or a year! thank you sooo much for the time
and effort you put into the book. you are the man!!! god bless you my friend!!

Brett Johnston Gains 12 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
First, I wanted to thank you for cutting through the B.S. with your
program, it works, simply just as you promised.
Second, people ask me daily if I'm doing steroids, I don't know whether to
be offended or to take it as complement to your program? But rest assured,
I've been sending them to your web page.
Since starting your program (5 weeks ago) I have increased my chest 2",
arms 1/2" and I maintain a 32-33 inch waist, all while gaining 12 lbs! (This
is after training for 9-10 years, hard!)
Again, Thank You,

Jared Reynolds Gains 16 Pounds In One Month With
MuscleNOW!
When I first heard about your program I was very excited that
someone would offer a money back guarantee in three months instead of six
weeks. When I started working out and following the diet I gained an
impressive 16 pounds in one month!!! I have to be the hardest gainer in the
world until I got on your program, but now I don't have to worry because with
your plan the pounds just pack on so easily. What I like most about the work
of routine is the cycle that you have set up for all of us, that to me is
ingenious. Thanks for all of your knowledge and personal training tips that
you have given to me also.

Former "Hardgainer" Elias Georgaras Gains 17 Pounds In 4 Weeks With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I want to really thank you for all your hard work you have put into this
book. I have read it from front cover to back cover at least 3 times. It's
great reading material especially when you lose confidence. But it's really
hard to lose confidence when I'm following the guidelines of your book. It is
SO INSPIRATIONAL. I couldn't get over how it just lifted my self esteem. I
have been lifting weights since 2000. I never gained an ounce. I got much
stronger, but the results weren't there. So now Im starting to gain weight and
lots of strength! I began as 129 pounds and now I'm at 146 pounds after just 4
weeks into the first cycle. I have always been made fun of (and still am) for
being skinny. So out of frustration, I got online that night and found your
book and ordered it. I am so thankful for your time and efforts.
It would be great if you posted this email! I want it on your site because
I am the hardest gainer! Seriously! Thanks for all your help!!!!!

Marco Vega Gains 20 Pounds In One Month With
MuscleNOW!
Dear Francesco,
I purchased your MuscleNOW! program about 4 months ago. As for my results, I
gained 20 pounds in one month! I regret to admit that I have slacked off a bit
and have yet to gain anymore. I did, however, gain an average of 2--2.5 inches
on my entire body including my biceps, chest, legs, and so forth in that same
month. I have begun the program once more and I am determined to make my goal
of 175 lbs. I have always weighed about 128--130 lbs, but I now weigh around
150 and I owe it all to you. I was very skeptical at first, but the promises
you gave have proven true. With hard work and determination, anyone can
succeed with this program. Once again I thank you for what you have given me
and for what you are offering to many others.
Sincerely,
Marco Vega Harlingen, TX
Jordan Rosenfeld Gains 15 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Dear Francesco, Between July 1st and August 9th I gained 15 pounds
(152 to 167) and didn't gain any fat (in fact, I think I actually lost a small
amount). Its been about a month as of now (september 25) since I've stopped
following your program to the letter, but I've been able to maintain my weight
(in fact I gained another three pounds between August ninth and the first day
of school, so now I'm 170). As for the dividends, I've been mistaken for a
Junior countless times (I'm a freshman). Many thanks, and expect another
letter when I get my act together and begin again.

Blair Dennett Gains 30 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Dear Francesco,
Since starting your program I am over 30 pounds heavier and have not gained
any extra around my waist. I have gained more than 3 inches on my arms as well
as 4 inches on my chest and my neck is also over 2 inches thicker. My calves
which were always stubborn to grow have even added almost 2 inches!! In
addition to these results since beginning all my exercise weights have at
least tripled!! Thank you so much for your help!!

one that works. I have picked up 9 kg, added 3cm on both biceps, 3cm on the

Dan van der Westhuizen Invercargill, New Zealand
Craig Duncan Gains 20 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I purchased your program two years ago. I gained 20 pounds in three months
vs. zero pounds in the previous ten years! (I was weight training off and
on... mostly off.) I lost the book and my membership number, but it doesn't
bother me because I have your weightlifting knowledge in my head.
The testimonials on your site gave me the confidence to purchase the
program. I knew that what you were saying made sense, but since it is
different from most weight lifting advice, I wasn't sure. Hearing other
people's success stories clinched it for me.
Keep up the good work. You are doing something great.
Craig Duncan Philadelphia, PA
Eric Vinceslio Gains 9 Pounds In Two Weeks - Best Results In 7 Years
With MuscleNOW!
I am on the end of my second week of my first cycle. I have gained
6 pounds already and my strength has increased in all areas. I have followed
your diet and workout plan to the letter. I know what is like to be skeptical.
I actually looked up the name of one of your testimonies to see if they
existed. No discredit towards you, it us just that a life time of empty
promises from so many companies has left me a bit jaded. I would be happy to
help others that experience similar doubts. It is still hard for me to believe
the miraculous results I wake up to daily. I had just taped myself for the
first time since I started two weeks ago and gained the following:
Arms 14.5------14.75
Chest 38.0-----38.50
Legs 19.75-----20.0
I stand 5'8" and have went from 151 to 160
My strength also increases every time I go to the gym. Keep in mind that I
have been working out consistently for 7 years and have never experienced
gains like this. The best part is it is not water weight from so many cell
bloating supplements I have used in the past. The program is nothing short of
amazing, and I cant thank you enough.
Eric Vinceslio Dyess AFB, TX
R.L. Gains Over 30 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
WOW! WOW! WOW! It is hard to believe that I'm over 30 pounds
heavier since beginning the program! I've worked out for long periods of time
before, gaining maybe a pound or two and virtually no strength in a six-month
span. Then by the luck of God, I accidentally came across the MuscleNOW! page,
read the info, E-mailed Francesco with a couple of questions (answered
promptly, by the way), and decided to invest in it. I can't think of a time
that my money was more well-spent. This course unloads a plethora of
information that bodybuilding mags take years to compile. Every single minute
detail is covered, and if you still have ANY questions, they are answered very
quickly. Francesco even took time to answer a couple of stupid wrestling
questions that I was wondering about. He and his course took a huge weight off
of my shoulders by presenting the step-by-step course; no thinking involved!
His experience and know-how are invaluable, making the small price you pay for
the course a steal! I honestly thank God for throwing this course my way and
for inspiring Francesco to do what he does. I think he is genuinely concerned
and excited about his customers' results, and for that I feel I owe it to him
to keep up the work.
Francesco, thank you for your time, generosity, patience, and all the years
of work you put into this to make it easy for people like me.
R.L. C.P., LA
Guy Bardascino Gains 25 Pounds With

Francesco,
I really love your program. I have had terrific results so far, and I'm not
even strict with the diet. I have gone from 5'8" 135 lbs. to 160 lbs. in a
little more than two months, and have also added 25 pounds to my bench press.
Thank you for the invaluable information.

Kelley Williams, Jr. Gains 12 Pounds With MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I have been on your program for 12 weeks now (2 full cycles) and am
impressed. With your 3 day routine, I have gained 12 pounds of muscle and
increased definition. My goal when I started, by the way, was to gain 10-15
pounds. I have never been able to gain weight before despite repeated
attempts, especially when I was a high school and college athlete, so I
complement and thank you for your program.

David Finlayson Gains 20 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Hello,
In the last four months I have put on 20 pounds, and I continue to get
stronger and stronger on your program. Before I saw your site I was so
clueless and mis-informed that I would have gone nowhere any time soon. When I
started lifting I gained fast but than I hit a wall for two years and went
nowhere as far as size and strength. I'm progressing now like I just started
again. I get compliments all of the time. Thank you so much for putting this
program together. It seems like your really clearing up all the misinformation
there is out there in bodybuilding. Keep up the good work.
David J. Finlayson Aberdeen, MD
John Burchette Gains 45 Pounds With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I know it's hard for people to believe these because I was once the one on
the outside reading them. I was searching through yahoo looking for an easy
way to put on lean muscle mass. Once i found your program I thought that I
would give it a try. The price is about what I was spending on supplements a
month anyway. I have been on your program now for 6 months. I have put on 45
lbs of muscle and have increased my max bench by over 100 lbs, while dropping
by bodyfat. I have put 3 inches on my arms and 6 on my chest! It is
unbelievable!! I'm not special either. Before muscle now i used to spend hours
in the gym each day with very small strength gains if any and no size gains.
The program works for everyone. You have taken the trial and error out of
workouts! My friends spend twice the amount of time I spend in the gym and
can't get any result. Your program is the only way to truly unlock "your true
body's potential". I love the way the program walks you through everything by
giving you examples. I also would like to thank you for getting back to me on
my questions within a day every time! Francesco your program has changed my
life. My confidence level have gone up so much.
Thank you!
John Burchette Clarion, PA
Adam Bott Gains 25 Pounds With MuscleNOW!
Dear Francesco
WOW, You have changed my life, for real. I had bought your program one year
and a few months ago and it has given me gains that a SUPER fast metabolism
body couldn't break down. All my years I tried lifting and eating alot
(actually I've always ate tons) but alot of it the wrong kinds of food and
tried supplementation. None of it worked. I was so skinny, Last year I was
about 140 or so, now I am about 165, steady. I gained PURE muscle and look
more cut than ever. I don't have to worry about exercise, since my metabolism
is so high and I play 3 school sports a year, and TONS of other sports all
year long. I always new I could be good looking if I just gained some weight.
Now it's all sprung out.
Another GREAT thing about you is your quick emails that answer anyone's
questions perfectly. Your emails directly reflect your book that is written so
understandably. I still feel like I owe you sooo much! If I would have taken a
before picture, or not had already gained the weight, I would have entered a
contest for the biggest transformation. Now after seeing the results of your
program, whenever I look at ANYBODY with a skinny or fat body (or who says the
want to change) I KNOW they can with your program, it's just they don't want
to put in the hard enough work to morph themselves. But if they were like me
and REALLY want to change, they would, simply put.

First of all, I would like to thank you (once again) for such a
wonderful course. Many things happened to me since buying your course,
preventing me from consistently following the course but I finally managed to
start again 10 weeks ago. Since then, I gained 8 kilograms!! I never weighed
this much in my life... Thanks a lot Francesco! This is definitely the best
program I have ever used!!

Darren Pinnock Gains 27 Pounds, 6 Inches On His Chest, and Nearly 3
Inches On His Arms In 12 Weeks!
Francesco, For many years I have been uncomfortable with my size
(to the point of depression) and have tried everything albeit not with any
longstanding conviction. This was precisely for the reasons you outline in
your book thank you. In a week and two days I have already put on half a stone
(7 pounds) of body weight to which I now weigh more than I ever have in all my
years. This is extremely encouraging.
AN UPDATE FROM DARREN
Everything is going according to plan i have gained 14lbs since i started..
I have grown 3 inches on my legs.. 3 inches on my biceps and 2 and a half
inches on my chest.. I particularly like the way my whole body is improving!!
It gives me great satisfaction that i am able to make good solid progress..
12 WEEK UPDATE FROM DARREN
I have completed 2 cycles of your program and here are the results so far.
I promise to send pictures as soon as i have reached my goal.
March 15th
Chest: 34 inches
Right Bicep: 12.5 inches
Left Bicep: 12.5 inches
Left Thigh: 17 inches
Right Thigh: 17 inches
Waist 29 inches
Weight 131 Pounds
June 8th
Chest: 40 inches (gain of 6 inches)
Right Bicep: 15.25 inches (gain of 2.75 inches)
Left Bicep: 15.25 inches (gain of 2.75 inches)
Left Thigh: 21 inches (gain of 4 inches)
Right Thigh: 21 inches (gain of 4 inches)
Waist: 30 inches (gain of 1 inch)
Weight: 158 pounds (gain of 27 pounds)
I want to emphasize one point I was so eager to begin the program I
actually completed two cycles incorrectly. I don't want to go into too much
detail on my mistake but I shall tell you this I am probably a good few pounds
behind what I could have been. As the measurements suggest I have gained a
whopping 27 pounds something that I considered impossible prior to the
program. I am much more confident now and have people complimenting me on my
physique. I still have a way to go. But all the way from London England I can
tell you this works!! Wait till you see the pictures there will be no doubt
about this.
Thank you Francesco

"Hardgainer" Todd Shoemake Gains 21 Pounds In 9 Weeks With
MuscleNOW!
Francesco,
I am 26 years old and I bought your program several weeks ago. Words cannot express how pleased I am with it. I am in my second 6 week cycle, week 4 (10th week total). To give you some background on myself, I was a definite hard-gainer until discovering your program. I started the program at 5'11" and 134lbs. I was so skinny that you could literally count the vertebrae in my spine. I tried working out in spurts over the past few years, but always failed to build any significant strength or mass gains. I had been living in ignorance to proper training and dieting techniques. Your program is so detailed yet so logical and informative. I can't imagine the years of frustration that you must have endured in order to find the perfect training program.
Your years of research and technique trials have paid off immensely for the rest of us. You have eliminated the "guess-work" for anyone wanting to explore bodybuilding the right way, the natural way. This program produces results unlike anything I have ever seen! Weighing myself after my 9th week of training on your program, I had gained 21lbs of muscle mass. My quadriceps have increased by 2", my biceps by 1", my chest by 3", and my body fat level has only slightly increased. I feel within the end of this 2nd
workout cycle I will have a nice set of "6-pack" abs, and I will hopefully send some pictures to share my success. I have already been receiving complements on my gains and my self confidence has really taken a boost. My goal at this point is to reach 170lbs. I definitely feel that this goal is within reach. Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing them with the rest of us in need.
I have already recommended your program to a couple of local friends and they are showing interest.
Thanks for all of your help and God Bless.

MuscleNOW!
I dont know if you have received emails like this before, odds are you probably have but I need to tell you something.
I am a strong believer in the name of the Lord. One of my favourite scriptures is that of Philippians 4:13 that states "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength"
Jesus has given me the strength and wisdom to take a similar path to you. He has given me the patience and faith to pull through and achieve my results. I have lost count of how many times I have read your section when you thank the Lord. It inspires me to see that you are also a strong believer in the name of the Father. God bless you.
As for my results. I am now 90kg and single digit in bodyfat. I used to weigh 73kg about a year ago. Friends and family give me so many compliments where ever I go. Your program has enlightened me so much. I am now doing a personal trainer's course as I have NOW found what my passion in life is. My passion in life is to help others. To inspire the uninspired. You continue to inspire me. Whenever I am in need, I pray to God to help me through. In times of motivation, I relate to your words.

As you know I am a very skinny person with a substantial amount of body fat(150lb), and have been training/dieting without aerobics. I will have to tell you that I am kind of amazed at the current result and am excited to see more gains in the mere future.
Here's an update since last month that I've been on your program:
Body weight increased from 150lb to 155lb
Biceps have increased from 12in to 13in
Chest increased from 32in to 34in
Waist decreased from 36in to 34in
Flat Bench Press went from 100lb to 140lb
Incline from 75lb to 100lb
Barbell Curls from 50lb to 65lb
Deadlift from 190lb to 210lb
Squat from 190lb to 210lb
I have already had someone ask me at the Gym on how
I'm achieving my results, which in turn was responsed
by addressing your website. I want to inform people
at the Gym to purchase and follow your Guidebook, but
to convince others, I myself have to be established
first. So, thank you for your advices and efforts and
hope to send you updates with better results!
AN UPDATE FROM ANOWAR:
I'm sorry to write to you so often, but I just have to
update you on my latest achievements as I have never
seen these kinds of results before.
I've recently changed to Plan D where I workout 3
times a week with intermissions in between and have
noticed significant results in mass, weight &
strength:
my weight increased from 155lb to 160lb
mass has increased overall in arms, chest, and legs
As far as strength, I've increased the following:
biceps from: 65lb to 75lb
leg curls from: 140lb to 160lb
lat pulldown from: 140lb to 150lb
Thanks for all the support!

Francesco,
This is Zack Phillips and I bought your book about five months ago, but due to wrestling season I just started the muscle building phase five weeks ago. I must admit that I am very pleased with the amazing results that you have given me and I'm going to try to promote this excellent program the best I can. I haven't been working out my legs because my knee has been bothering me for the last three years, but I thought it was minor. Then it really started bugging me this wrestling season so I decided to get an MRI after season ended because I didn't want to miss out on the season. The MRI results came back and it turns out that part of the lower part of my femur on my left leg is dead. They think that the bone died because of continual stress on the joint (probably from wrestling) witch caused the blood flow to stop going to the bone. So anyway the doctors but an immobilizer and I cant put any weight on it or even bend it for two months and I get my next MRI on May 2nd. But I didn't let that get me down. I have been working around the energy and I am getting unreal results on my upper body. I have just finished my 5th week on your program and I gained 10 pounds of pure muscle! I now way about 155 pounds and I gained on my biceps amazingly. Before this program both of my biceps were 14 inches and now they are both 14 5/8 inches. I never gained like that before and I thought I was a pretty buff dude before I got on this program, but I just gained over 1/2 inch on my Biceps in 5 weeks. My chest also had some huge gains. I started off with a 37 inch chest and now my chest is 38 3/4 inches, and I made these huge muscle gains without the ego dropping fat gains. My waist started at 30 inches and now it is 30 1/2 inches, so you can still see my six pack. I also had some really good strength gains. I started out benching 175 pounds and failing in between 4-7 reps but now I put 205 pounds and fail in between 4-7 reps. I feel great and I am very pleased with the results that I am getting. I was down at the mall the other day and I went into vitamin world and there was a natural body builder in there and now I think I am going to start body building once I get out of this cast thing and I get my legs up to strength.
I'm just telling you that you have my permission to put all of this on your website, and actually I would rather you do that because I want to help you out. I constantly get accused from fellow students at my school of Steroids use witch I'm not sure to take as an insult or just take as a complement, and I just tell them that I'm using the internets natural steroids and then I tell them that I'm on this unreal program and I give them the website.
So thanks again Francesco for this amazing program and God Bless.

I bought your MuscleNOW manual when I was starting college. After reading through it I was extremely excited to get going. Unfortunately, self-discipline was the one critical thing I was missing back then. And since I was living in college residence with a 3-meal-a-day cafeteria and no kitchen available, there wasn't much hope of
me eating enough, consistently. The next year when I went home brought a different problem: living in a rural area, there was no gym nearby and buying my own equipment didn't fit into my college-student budget.
This cycle continued until two years later, when I got a summer job at my collge and moved into an off-campus apparment (with a kitchen :) WOW! After only 4 weeks people at the gym that initially gave me that "wonder how long this skinny guy will last" look were commenting on how big my arms were getting! And the improvements were just as obvious in the mirror and to my friends. And to be honest, I did not stick with the program religously (on average I probably missed 1 session and 3-4 meals per week) I stuck with it for about 8 weeks (went from about 165 lbs to 190+ lbs of pure muscle) until school started again and a personal event caused me to lose focus.

Dear Francesco,
I just want to let you know that your book works!!!!!!!! There is NO doubt
about it. Unfortunately, I do not have any photographs and I can't give you
exact measurements (in inches). But this is the reason why I know your
system works: All the people who I have not seen for several months and
having meeting them right now, ask me similar questions about my body;
questions and comments like "Are you taking steroids?", "wow, look at your
arms -- someone's been working out!" and "what workout program are you using
right now -- can you share it with me?".
The changes are most definitely visible. I do know that I gained 25lbs
since I started your program in August and I know it is mostly muscle just
based on what I'm seeing in the mirror and the reaction of my relatives and
friends. Some people might say that this isn't much of a weight change, but
I have to tell you that I have never ever experience a gain this much within
one year. Most importantly, I got a lot stronger. Since I started your
program, my Bench Press (maxing out) went from 205 lbs to 245 lbs.; I use to
pull down 80 lbs 10 times. Now, I'm pulling down 110 lbs 12 times, and
finally I was curling 50lbs 12 times, but now curling 70 lbs with the same
weight. And guess what -- the amount of weight that I use to be able to
lift were done with improper form (where I actually use different parts of
my body to lift the weight). Now I'm lifting more weight with the proper
form. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION! It basically means that I
could be lifting a lot more if I continue to do the same improper form that
I use to do. But of course I'm not going to do that :-)
Because of your program, I am more confident about myself. Like you, I
thought I was genetically cursed, but now I have a different perspective. I
hate to act immature, but I wish I can locate my old high school buddies who
use to be so in love of themselves, so I can show them what's up.
Anyway, please continue what you're doing because you're making a lot of
people's lives better.
Take care.

Francesco,
Thank you so much for not only making me feel better
physically about myself, but also for making me feel better mentally. I am
confident in everything I do now. This has allowed me to perform better in
college and at my job. I did the EAS contest recently. In 16 weeks, using
MuscleNOW, I gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 1 lb of fat! I have been using
the program now for 6 months. I weighed 120 lbs when I started, and now I
weigh 136 lbs! (and have an even lower body fat level than when I began the
program). My arms were 11.75 inches flexed and now are 13.3 inches! My chest
has gone from 35 inches to just under 37 inches! Even my family can't
believe that such a "stick" boy could produce such good muscle gains. This
program has provided me such great results that I have not experienced a
workout day that wasn't filled with motivational thoughts. Thank you for
being so supportive and answering ALL of my questions. You have helped me
realize true happiness in my life!

Hi Francesco!
How are you, I've been using the system now for one week,
and it's incredible that's all I can say! I've put on aprox 7-10lbs, see a
lot of nice cuts on my body especially my arms! It is for sure one great
program, and thanks for answering all my questions.

Dear Francesco,
Just e-mailing you to let you know that I am done with my
3rd week, and I have already had a 2 inch chest increase (40-42) and a 1
inch increase on my biceps (12.5-13.5). I definitely feel the increase in
testosterone levels (it feels awesome!). I will definitely get some pictures
to put on your website later on.

Francesco,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know
how I'm doing. I started your system two weeks ago and I can't believe what
is happening. My strength gains are incredible. I've gained a half inch on
my biceps, an inch and a half on my chest and lost an inch on my waist!
As you know I'm a police officer. Just after Christmas
'98, I was attacked by two people when I responded to a bar to take an
assault report. The "victim" and his brother took their frustration out on
me and after being punched and kicked by them, they tried to take away my
gun. Due to my training (and my partner's good timing) I didn't get hurt and
the bad guys went to jail. I got lucky.
After that, I couldn't help thinking how different it
could have been. Increased strength has been a futile goal of mine for ten
years, but after the bar incident it became my mission. Granted, there is
always someone out there who is bigger, stronger, etc.. but I want every
advantage I can get. You have made that goal possible.
As a department Defensive Tactics trainer I will
recommend your program to all of my trainees. After all, officer survival
isn't just about winning the fight, it's about staying alive, going home to
your family every day and living longer, healthier.
Thanks,
Rich Hopkins

I've been following the program for only two weeks and I
already see results. My chest has gone from 32.5 to 34 inches and my biceps
went from 11 to 12 inches! Remember this is in only two weeks. I was on
weight gain formulas and creatine before I started your program. I stopped
because it started becoming too costly and it wasn't all it was cut out to
be anyhow. Your program was exactly what I needed.
Thanks!

I purchased MuscleNOW two weeks ago, read it cover to
cover in two days and have been rigorously following Workout Plan A and the
nutritional guidelines given.
In one week I have gained 4 pounds, which may not seem
like much , but I've been seriously working out for 5 years and have gained
practically no mass after trying a multitude of other (expensive) exercise
plans, supplements and diet regimens.
MuscleNOW has truly made a difference and I recommend it
to anyone who has all but given up hope!

Francesco,
A few months ago I wanted to gain 15 lbs and it was not
until I started your program that I started to pack on the muscle. Everyone
notices that I am getting bigger no matter where I go whether if it is at
school, the gym, work, and even at the clubs. I feel good and I feel even
better that I am getting bigger without using any supplements. Right now, I
DO FEEL as if my muscle growth is limitless!

Francesco,
Hey! I haven't sent you an e-mail in years! Yet, I have
stayed on the program since I started. To sum everything up, I have seen
that it definitely works extremely well. I have received many compliments,
and people think I work out a lot!
There is no doubt that I could accomplish any type of
body I want with your program, as it has allowed me to have very good muscle
development, and I am proud of my body. All in all I am truly satisfied, and
plan to continue the program for a long, long time.
I was never really skeptical of your program, but it
seemed like most people I knew were. They keep quiet now, because they can
see that the system works.
I would love to hear from you again soon, and I will
write back if I have any more comments or questions.

I've only been on your course for one week, but believe
it or not my whole body has become hard and I can feel my lats constantly

why aren't you on T.V .

Francesco,
I stumbled across the Incredibody website while searching
the internet for advice on how to gain weight. Adding muscles to my skinny
body has been a lifelong struggle, so the website really spoke to me. I
decided to give it a try. I began the program and immediately noticed a
change in my body. It is hard work, but well worth it, as I am finally
gaining substantial muscle. I look forward to working out and I feel and
look better than I ever have! I can't thank you enough for making this
information available!

Dear Francesco,
I would like to thank you for a totally awesome program.
I've completed the first six week cycle and the results are tremendous. I
have been working out for about 3 years, as you said I hit a brick wall
because I did the same number of sets/reps for every workout. I also never
ate correctly. When I started the program my body automatically responded by
adding new muscle mass at a incredible rate. My chest went from 44".5 to
46", biceps 16" to 16.75", forearm 13.25" to 14.75". My body fat is so low I
can see the muscle fibers. For months I was stuck on the same weight but
since starting I've increased between 10 to 40 lbs, the most being in the
bench and squat. So this program definitely works.

Hi Francesco!
Just wanted to give you an update with my progress on
your program. I began on Oct. 2, 2000, and measured again on Feb. 4 (almost
four months to the day). Anyway, I'm 6'1", and 41 yrs. old, and my results
follow:
Chest increased from 39" to 42.5".
Right Bicep increased from 14" to 15.25"
Left Bicep increased from 14.5" to 15.5"
Thighs increased from 21" to 23"
Body Weight increased from 169 to 179 pounds
Francesco, I'm so happy with my size gains, and want to
continue!
Peace,

Mr. Castano,
First, let me give you many thanks and props for your
assistance through the program and email mediums. I've had great results,
most, if not all, of which is due to your expertise. I used the program for
about six weeks last year before I went through a move and lost steam. In
that short time, I got the nickname 'roid boy' cause of the speed of growth.
That was reward enough in itself! Thank you very much.
Heavily yours,

Francesco,
I just wanted to tell you of the improvements I have
gotten over the past 5 weeks. I am now on week 6 of your program....starting
the program I measured 15 inch arms...in week three I gained a 1/2 inch! I
can't wait to see the measurements at the end of this week. I have veins
that I have never had before; very much detail now in my muscles. The diet
is very easy to follow. I have had so many compliments on my body since I
have started your program. This is the most legitimate workout program I
have seen yet! I get a kick out of watching people workout now....I have
even caught up with a few of the older guys in the gym who were way past me
in strength....but strength isn't even what I was shooting for...it was just
a well developed body, and you have made it happen! I recommend your program
to anyone who is looking for the most effective way to gain muscle mass
FAST. Your program is real and I thank you for your knowledge.
With most regards,
Mike Grafton

Joe Wigfall - Yonkers, NY
Do you want to be entertained by an audio and videotape
or do you want to workout and get big fast, etc., etc.?
Anyway, MuscleNow has worked for me. I bought it almost
two years ago, tried it briefly then, but had to stop because my wife and I
had a child and we both had to rearrange our schedules.
Now, 18 months later I've started the program again. The
results have been eye popping. Friends and family are shocked at the
difference 2 months have made on my bod. I went from 163 lbs to 175 in 2
months (6 pounds the first month and six the second). My physique has
changed dramatically. I don't have to flex for anyone to see how ripped my
chest, back and arms have become. I feel great about myself.
And the online counsel has helped me in ways I couldn't
begin to explain. He's helped with my diet, and recommended different
exercises. No question I asked was too difficult or too dumb. I usually had
an answer from him within 48 hours (most times 24).
If I had the other course, my online help would have
elapsed after a year and I'd be stuck with videotapes and a cassette tape,
which can't answer my questions. Nothing beats being able to go to the
author for answers.
The course is well worth what he's charging for it.
Actually, it's worth more. My advice? Go with MuscleNOW.

I just wanted to tell you I am just thrilled with my
results. I have been working out off and on for the last year, but I could
not stick to it faithfully because I was frustrated with the results. Well,
I have been on your program for 4 weeks and have went from 134 to 141. I had
put on that much weight before, but it took 4 months. and a lot went in my
face and stomach and was due mainly to fat gainer, I mean weight gainer. I
did it again in just 4 weeks. And not one bit is fat. I can't wait to see
what the future will bring. I have never loved working out as much as I do
now, and all thanks to you.

I would like to thank you for the many different things
you have done for me. Your program is very helpful and very cheap
considering paying for a personal trainer or some other form of training
aide. The book has taught me many things about muscle building that I was
unaware of before. My chest, biceps, and forearms have all increased by at
least 3 inches while my strength increases have been over 50 % while I have
only been on this program for a month! I have seen dramatic changes in my
physique while receiving comments from my friends. I would also like to note
that I appreciate the personal help you provide for specific questions that
come about through your email. It has helped me my continuing my motivation
instead of staying confused and quitting. I would highly recommend this
program for everybody who is interested in being the their top physical
shape and looking great. Thanks again.

I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you very
much for all the help you've been. I think I lost count of the number of
questions I fired at you after buying your program, yet you always sent back
a polite, helpful, and prompt response to all my questions. I purchased your
program a while back and due to my own busy schedule and lack of initiative
I only made a half-hearted effort, not getting all the results i had hoped
for. Now i've re-started your program with a renewed intensity and a firm
commitment to fitness and lo and behold: i'm starting to see results and
growth in my measurements after only 1 month! i'm excited and encouraged and
just wanted to say great job, keep up the good work; I wish you the best of
luck and success in getting your program and support out there to more
people who would like to get fit, healthy, and gain muscle mass!

Never judge a book by its cover is what you usually say -
well I am sorry to tell you that you can judge this book by its cover.
INCREDIBODY MUSCLENOW is the fastest muscle producing system that I have
ever seen, and believe me I have seen a lot. Based on pure logic - this
system managed to get me on the road that I’ve been trying to get on for the
past two years. It stresses the critical factor in eating right. Most people
underestimate this factor but then again most people don’t make consecutive
gains in muscle mass, do they? Also, cycling is the most important principle
in bodybuilding yet most people seem to ignore it, again this is what
Francesco Castano, writer of this amazing book generously offers you.
Whether you want to be a beach boy or a champion bodybuilder, this is the
system for you. You can also ask Francesco questions through E-Mail and this
totally personalizes this amazing system. Its liking having your own
professional coach!!! My life changed 180 degrees in less than 6 weeks why
shouldn't it do the same for you?
I'd like to tell you, Francesco, that your system is
definitely the best around. I have gotta hand it to you - really! Mass is
the name - and Mass is the game!

I have been following your program for the past three
months, and I now look far better than I initially did before I started your
program. Just before I began, I weighed 125lb with my chest measuring 35",
biceps at 11.5". In about three months, I weighed 144lb with my chest size
at 38", and biceps at 13.25". I don't hear the word "skinny" or "too thin"
any more. In fact, I've been hearing lots of compliments recently. My
co-workers are surprised at how my dress shirts that once fit sluggishly now
actually look small on me. My housemate's friend thought that I was a
different person. He asked my housemate, "Did you get a new housemate?" I
THANK YOU so much for your support and advice throughout my training.

Well, thought I'd update you, just started week 4 of your

hope to send you pictures once I've attained enough mass!

Just want to drop a short email and update you. I have
followed your program closely since I last contacted you (about 2 mo. ago).
I have been pretty strict on my diet, except for a couple of times. I wrote
out the exercise program and started carrying a notepad with me to the gym,
documenting everything. I am on my first 5 week cycle through the plan. I
started with the higher reps, lower weight...now I'm on the last (week 5) of
the heavy stuff.
It has really made a difference!!! I measured 39" on my
chest before I started getting serious about your program. I had been at
that for months...with absolutely no increase. I measured my chest yesterday
morning and was surprised that my chest was almost 40.25"!!! I had noticed a
difference in the way my chest looked, but I never imagined that I had
packed that much on. I even measured again this morning just to be sure, and
it was just under 40.25". WOW!
Thanks again for all your help. I am really enthusiastic
about all this again. Your program really works!

Thanks for all your help and I would just like to say
that in these last four week (I just started the program) I have noticed
drastic results. I and my family are starting to see muscle definition even
under all my fat and I haven't even started the bigger diets. I have lifted
weights before and have no where near achieved the fast results like I have
on your program, it is excellent. I can only imagine I good I will look and
feel and I fit I will be for football next year. I am truly amazed as I
thought that the program would never work like this even when I started.
YOUR program is the only one that I have found that tells me exactly what to
eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what sort of exercises and the amount of
exercises to do. It is great and well worth the investment considering I
will have this knowledge and your guidance for life. You have truly created
an excellent program and most importantly a unique one! You have done well
my friend. I will keep you posted with my results.

Your program is awesome. Within the past two weeks, I
have added 1/4" to my arms and 1" to my chest and have gained an extra 5 lbs
without increasing my waist.
AN UPDATE FROM SAMIR: Hello Francesco...I
just wanted to praise your program again and let you know that your weight
training philosophy/strategy is priceless. My size, and most importantly my
strength, has SKYROCKETED!!!! Remember, when I first started about 9 weeks
ago? I told you I could barely do 95lbs a few times...well, last Thursday I
max'd out at 205lbs!!!! And I could've done 210lbs if I hadn't tried to max
out at 195lbs before. Plus that was with free-weights and not the smith
machine. The crazy part is that this is basically after only 1 cycle of your
program! Over 1 inch on my arms and 2.5 inches on my chest in this period.
When I first started your program I was about 145lbs give or take a few lbs.
I recently topped out at 160lbs.
The coolest part is that people who haven't seen me in a
few months are all amazed at how much bigger I look...they can't believe it
sometimes. You have helped me more than I could've imagined.

hi francesco,
i just completed my first 6 week cycle and i have to
admit, i'm pleased with the results. my goals when i bought this program was
mainly to add about 15 quality pounds and to look "pretty good" for a over
forty man. from comments i've received from my wife and friends, i know i've
come along way in a short time. most size gains were in the 1/4" to up to
1/2" range with about 4 lbs of weight added. for me, true intensity didn't
really occur till about the 3rd or 4th week when i could go in and bang it
out without thinking to much. i wonder if the people who do this understand
that the measurements are only one and not necessarily in my opinion, the
most important indication of success. getting bigger is not the goal,
getting better is. better covers all the angles. the most surprising
improvements to me were muscle hardness, increased vascularity, definition,
and strength increases. you can't build a house without first building a
strong foundation. all i can say is thanks for the knowledge.

Hi Francesco,
After 4 weeks, I recently weighed myself and retook my
measurements. I gained 10 pounds, with only a half inch increase in my
waist, while gaining 3 quarters of an inch on my biceps and a full two
inches on my chest! Needless to say I am very impressed. The program does
take some hard work and dedication, but I found once I had gotten through
the first week the meals were much easier to eat and my body adjusted. The
weight workouts have really worked like magic also. In my past workouts I
would feel sore or like I had really stimulated my muscles only for the
first few days after a layoff, but under your program my muscles have felt
constantly stimulated throughout the whole 4 weeks. I could really tell that
something was going on there, even before I checked my progress. As an added
benefit to physical appearance, your course has taught me much about the
proper foods to eat and the proper ratios to each other, and believe me,
this is a vast improvement over my previous diet! Even if I would stop
exercising altogether, I would be better off than I was because I am now
eating healthier.
Your program really works! Thank you very much,
Tim Minore

Hi Francesco,
I have just began the 5th week of the cycle.
I'm just writing to tell you, that at the end of the 4th
i have gained roughly an inch on every muscle group, my lats have exploded,
and my arms have gained nearly 1 1/2 inches , and I am so much more defined.

You weren't kidding when you told me I should start to
see something in 2 weeks... I have worked out for 1-2 months at a time
before and have seen less results... I started two weeks ago, on a 3-4 day
plan. So far, I have gained 1/2-1" in chest and shoulders and 1/4-1/2" in
biceps after only 6 training days. And definition has improved from a smooth
surface, to seeing small rippling bulges along the pec edges, and lines on
the upper arms..

Dear Francesco,
I've been on your workout program for almost three months
and it's been doing great! I've gained 2 inches around my arms and I've put
on a good 15lbs. I should be reaching my goal very soon and I'm stoked!

Gregory C. Jones - Bluff City, TN
I am in my 5th week of my first 6 week cycle. I am
totally blown away by the gains your program has given me. TOTALLY BLOWN
AWAY!!!!!!! I have been working out off and on, sometimes serious sometimes
not, for over 3 years. I have accomplished more in 5 weeks than those 3
years combined. Those 3 years don't even come close to what your program has
done for me over the past 5 weeks.
I found your website while searching the net for cures to
hard gainers. I found two sites that were of interest to me, yours and one
other. What sold me was that you downplayed the use of those bogus
supplements, all those good for nothing products that just waste your money.
So I decided to give your program a try. What the heck, if it didn't work
then I would have blown my money on something else from GNC. The problem
with my training in the past was that I didn't eat enough. I thought the
only thing that I needed was protein with little carbs. Boy was I wrong. My
arms are no longer like toothpicks, I am getting some guns. I am starting to
get that V-shape torso. It is unbelievable. I have a curved spine that has
caused me great back pain in the past, but no longer. My back in solid and
strong and I have not had ONE episode of pain since starting your program.
Everybody keeps asking me questions and wanting to know what supplements I
am taking. I just laugh. It is also funny when they see me eating and can't
believe how I eat so much and look the way I do. Even my wife is amazed, now
she is a believer.
I plan on recommending you to everybody I can. All I can
say is I hope that everybody would give this program a try. I was a huge
skeptic, even after the first week, but after that once I saw the results I
knew you and your program was no joke or hoax.
Thank you so much and God Bless.

Hello Francesco!
One year and six months ago I purchased the MuscleNOW
program, but unfortunately I've not been able to consistently follow this
great program for that period of time. I've been on and off, but on long
enough to realize that every muscle building goal will turn into reality
with this program. IT WORKS!!! (Guess you already knew that...)

Matt Gallagher - Bartlett, IL
I have just finished my 1st cycle, that’s 6 weeks of
training so far. I've gone up from a weight of 182 to 191, with my waist
remaining at a constant 31 inches. My arms have gone from 14.25" to 15.125",
so almost one inch. My chest has increased as well but I never seem to get a
constant reading on it because it is difficult to measure. My strength has
increased as well. I went from doing 315x1 on squat to 315x5 the other day.
This book is the real deal.
AN UPDATE FROM MATT: First, I would like to
say thanks once again for the book. My brother from college who hasn't seen
me in a few weeks was very impressed with my new size. It's so great to know
you're gaining muscle so fast.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM MATT: I'd like to thank
you for your tremendous work on your book. These past three months of
training on your program have been nothing short of amazing. I feel and look
stronger, bigger, and healthier. I am still shocked at the gains I have
made, and I have the motivation now to keep going. I have never worked out
for more then 2 weeks straight on any program, and so far on yours I haven't
missed one workout since I started 3 months ago. I can't wait to start my
third cycle, because the gains are guaranteed. It's great. Anyways, I'd like
to tell you about my gains. I went from weighing 182 to 199. Arms increased
from 14.25" to 15.5." Chest went from 39" to 42." My strength in everything
has increased. My bench went from 245 to 275. Shoulder press from 145 to
175. Squat from 315 to 400. Dead lift from 345 to 450. These gains are
tremendous.... I never thought I would be able to gain so fast. I took some
pictures so I'll send those to you after next cycle. Thanks for the great
book and for the help you've given me.

Wow, what a program. For close to 10 years, have been
trying to "bulk up." Like you, I have tried everything from weight gain
powders to extreme diets only to be left with thin arms and a thick belly.
With the help of your program, that has all changed. This year brings with
it my fortieth birthday gladly celebrated because I am in the best shape of
my life. I catch myself being startled when reaching for something and my
bicep brushes against my chest, very cool. Or, when the local "muscle head"
ask if I'm on juice. Thanks for those moments.
Thanks for everything.

Jacob Tsevi Rosten - London, England
A small testimonial for you, just to let you know of my
progress after 2 weeks:
Weight 132 to 139 pounds
Left Bicep: 10.25 to 10.75 inches
Right bicep: 10.25 to 10.87 inches
Chest: 33 to 34 inches
Very pleased with the above. Never expected these sort of
gains in 2 weeks. Thanks a lot, and I look forward to more gains in the
future!
AN UPDATE FROM JACOB: I was browsing around
some bodybuilding sites and I recommended you and your site to a natural
bodybuilding site where the author "claims" that you can only put on 1 - 1.5
inches in a year, and I told him proudly that with your program I've put on
just over 1 inch in 5 and a half weeks with no drugs/supplements!!!!
It's hilarious really - so many preach the wrong info.
One site I came across said 20g was enough protein for each meal with 6
meals per day - and then the author claimed that only 10 pounds of lean mass
could be gained in one year! Most bodybuilding programs seem to limit
themselves; by making it easier, they make it harder in the long run.
Thanks for all the advice and the great book. I look
forward to even more gains.

Francesco,
THANKS!!!! This is awesome, I love it!
I put two inches on my chest and a half an inch on my
arms in two weeks!! I wish I would have had this info three years ago. I
don't think I've ever been so excited! Now that I've seen the gains it's
easy to tell people about your web site, and I think a few have checked it
out. Well I do wish you the very best!
UPDATE: Within 4 weeks I put an inch on my
arms! This program has worked wonders for my mind as well as my body! I'm
very thankful I ran across your web site.

Robert Rodriguez - Ormond Beach, FL
Today 3 days away from the end of this first cycle I am at
my heaviest I have ever been. I hit 147 lbs this morning. My arms are up a
good 1/2'', my chest is up too. Legs are a full inch bigger at least, and I
can't say enough about my back and traps. This is just a brief thing i
wanted to let you know, as I really plan on sending you a technical update
including actual before and after measurements and maybe some pics in the
future because i really want 4 or 5 cycles, six months or so to pass so I
can really brag about my gains. I'm really, really excited as each week
passes because I can't wait till I hit a year or so following your course.
I'm glad you provided me a solid foundation for me to build on, as I was
just tired of hitting the gym not knowing what I was doing and actually
wasting my time for the minimal gains. Now I go and I know I'm not wasting
any time. I know I'm growing as fast as humanly possible versus the average
person in a gym getting minimal gains every six months or so. I know you've
heard this a thousand times but thank you very much Francesco for this
course and laying out the foundation I needed. I found it very simple to
read and understand, by the way. All of this has me more motivated than ever
as these gains are almost unreal to me for 6 weeks.
Once again thank you Francesco.

Francesco
Amazing improvements with almost 3 full months of going 2 to
3 times a week to the gym (it's better for me than 5). A few people have
accused me of Juicing up! lol They comment that its impossible to grow that
huge with so little training and in such a minuscule period of time . Also ,
the fact that every single week, my strength increases! Just amazing! I feel
like I 'm on Steroids . . seriously. I mean, the Strength is unimaginable.
Your program truly is the NATURAL Steroid! It's quite frightening How big I
am getting! The Chest is Ripped and Very large + the Traps and back muscles
are huge because of those shrugs. I still don't understand how everyday I am
getting More Muscular and heavier . . every day ! I mean the arms & the
chest, shoulders, traps and so forth are all so Large . . Quite Incredible.
UPDATE FROM MATT: I'm squatting usually
between 425 and 510 Pounds . . The numbers are way up there now and my legs
are getting huge . . Also I have been doing Heavy shrugs of between 350 and
450 Pounds . . people are already telling me that it's AMAZING that an 18 yr
old is squatting 500 pounds but ur going to kill urself ? lol

I just wanted to drop you line and thank you for your
program. I've been on it for just over a year and have gained strength,
weight, and most importantly size. I've gained approx. 20 lbs of mostly
muscle and it keeps climbing! I've been asked several times,"What are you
taking?" And it feels great to say, "nothing!" Thanks again and keep up the
good work!

Shane Parker - Rockingham WA, Australia
Hi there Francesco. I measured yesterday for the fist
time and found I have gained half an inch on each bicep and half an inch on
my chest. HALF AN INCH!! Other people have told me that this size gain is
only possible over a series of months while I have achieved it (thanks to
your book) in a couple of weeks. If these sorts of gains are consistently
possible I am going to be HUGE. Thanks again mate for your great book and
all your help. Also my wife thanks you for your suggestions on weight loss
and is currently putting them to use.
I think more people need to be educated in this very
confusing area. I see so many people, even experienced lifters, who have
terrible form, don't know what to eat and worst of all buy crappy
supplements (by the bucket load). I only have one worry -- someone from my
gym may buy your great book and end up getting as big as fast as me! Thanks
again mate and talk to you soon.
AN UPDATE FROM SHANE:
Well measuring time has come around again and I am proud
to say that I have put ANOTHER quarter inch on each bicep and over 1 inch on
my chest. I have had a half inch increase in waist size put this is minor
compared to my arm growth. I have noticed a nice big vein running up my
bicep and hope to see more of it in the future. thanks mate, your program
works.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM SHANE:
Just had to tell you that when I started 7 weeks ago I
could bench 75 kilos, but this morning I cranked out 3 sets of 4 at 110
kg!!! That's all for now.

Samuel Amodeo - Toronto Ontario, Canada
Hi Francesco,
I've just completed my first cycle, it was grueling. I
managed to gain about 8.5 pounds, I can't wait to start over. Every body
part has gotten stronger & fuller. Thank You for this program.
UPDATE FROM SAMUEL: I got a very good
compliment last weekend. Myself and some friends went to a batting cage to
hack around. When it came to my turn I thought of taking off my sweater, so
it would give me more mobility when swinging. Though I was wearing a tank
top underneath my friends said wow....look at your biceps, chest and back! I
was a little embarrassed and said leave me alone. During my at bat they kept
on looking and commenting. One guy said Sam, I'm starting to feel motivated
again.....That was the best comment of all.
I've now gained about 10 or 11 pounds. My goal is to gain
another 15 pounds maximum then just eat and workout to maintain. Delts have
really improved, and I'm starting to see the "V" shape of my back. Thanx for
listening and the great program.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM SAMUEL: Things are
excellent with my diet and training (196 lbs. at 7.5% body fat -- test done
by electrodes). My goal was to reach 200, but I think I look really good at
my current weight; I'm trying to maintain this build rather than gaining.
It was really funny when I went to this gym, the guy
doing my fitness evaluation asked me if I was getting ready for a show...I
told him that this is purely done for aesthetics. Even a couple of guys that
asked to work in with me happened to ask how I got like this. I could not
believe my ears!!!!!!! It got so ridiculous that someone wanted to pay
me.....I told him that I'm actually working on a system derived by someone I
have never met. I gave him your email address, but I didn't get his name for
referral purposes.
Thank you for everything,

I wanted to thank you for your information, it has proved
incredibly valuable. I actually bought your book about 4 years ago but had
not gotten serious about it until this year. It's been 2 weeks since I
started and I've gained 7 pounds. I was at 157lbs and now 164lbs. I've gone
from 11.5 inches on my arms to 12. Although my goal is not to get "big", I
have even more confidence that your program will get me there in an
incredibly short time. Everyone around me is already noticing the change,
just imagine 5 or 6 weeks from now!!!
Once again thanks for this great program.

Francesco, First off, let me just tell you how impressed I
am with your program. In a little more than a month, I have noticed more
improvement in my muscle mass than I have ever before, even when I worked
with a so called 'personal trainer'. I have noticed at least 5-10 lbs of
muscle growth. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

Derek Wilson - Calgary Alberta, Canada
Hi Francesco, I am writing to you regarding your
MuscleNOW course and how I have progressed. I don't know if your going to
use this on your testimonial page but I just wanted to tell you what an
amazing program you have come up with. I have been seriously bodybuilding
for 2 years now and in the last 6 I have put on more size than I have in the
last year. My arms have increased by 1/2 inch, my quads have increased by 1
inch, my calves by 1/2 inch and my chest by 1 inch, while only gaining 1
inch around my waist. My weight has increased from 158lbs to 172lbs. My
strength has increased every week and some weeks were a dramatic change. My
max squat used to be 315lbs for 1 rep now I can squat that same weight for 4
reps. To anyone considering this course I highly recommend it. I am now
starting my 2nd cycle and I can't wait for the results.
UPDATE FROM DEREK: I have still been
receiving phenomenal gains while using your program. Since the last time I
emailed with my results in mid Oct. I have went from weighing 175lbs to
188lbs. I have gained another half inch to my arms and all my measurements
have been increasing steadily and I am very impressed. My legs are getting
so big that I can't even fit them into most of my pants anymore and my legs
are still rock hard with no fat gain on them.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM DEREK: How's it going?
My training has still been going great I am still making good gains as well.
I am 197lbs now.
Thank you and God Bless,

Francesco, I just want to say thank you for everything you
have provided with your MuscleNow program. I have just completed my 10th
week of your program, and I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my
results.
I am 40 years old, and began weight training again about 4
years ago. I had always kept myself in decent shape, but my wife always
wondered what I was actually doing at the gym since my body never really
changed that much. I followed other online programs, drank protein shakes,
and received pointers from everybody at the gym, all for naught, so I was
somewhat skeptical about your program. Boy, was I wrong.
What I found was a program that was flexible and easy to
follow. It was amazing, but as I was reading the training manual I would
have a question, and it was covered in the next paragraph. My results to
date are:
Along with these changes have come increased strength in all
areas. Thanks again for everything.

Paul Nix - Newquay Cornwall, England
Just to let you know how pleased I am with your program!! I
just started week 2 today and I'm bigger today than I was a week ago! And
not just a bit either, my jeans are tight around the leg muscles, my upper
body is wider and stronger, my chest is big and my arms look a lot more
muscular (and that's from week 1). The first few days were the hardest but
now I'm used to eating that sort of food I get through it no problem.
Thanks,

Dear Francesco, First I would like to congratulate you on a
very well written book. There is alot of valuable info and you have laid it
out in a format that is very easy to read and enjoyable to read.
It has been a lot of hard work for me but you also should be
congratulated. I have always considered myself a hard gainer. I naturally
have a lean body style low body fat, fast metabolism. Growing up I despised
being called skinny. I never thought I could put on real muscle weight. With
your program I have gone from 161 pounds to 180 pounds in two full cycles
(12 weeks). I have gained 1-1/2" on each arm and 3" on my chest. All of my
strength has gone up in every single exercise. Thanks for a great program.
AN UPDATE FROM THADDEUS:
On your program I'm the strongest and the biggest that I’ve
ever been. Many relatives have been complimenting me and embarrassing me by
calling me Schwarzenegger and saying I look like a Chippendale. But thanks
to your program my efforts have been working.

Randolph S. Abrams - University City, MO
Dear Francesco, I am starting my 3rd week on the program
today, so that means yesterday I took my two week measurements. I gained
almost three pounds and it must have been muscle, because I lost 1/4 of an
inch around the waist. I gained 1/4 inch on my biceps and almost an inch on
my chest. My caliper reading went down 2mm!!! To top it off, I'm eating like
a horse, all good foods of course.
I started the Muscle Now program when I was six weeks
into the body for life program. So I have some before pictures from when I
started BFL; however, there was little change in the six weeks. I believe I
have made more progress in two weeks on the Muscle Now program then six
weeks on BFL.
I can not deny the discipline that I have gained from BFL;
however, your program puts it all together in a winning way. You also add an
aspect of getting in shape that the others lack, and that is your focus on
Jesus Christ.
I am looking more muscular than I have ever looked in my
life. In addition to how I look to myself, others have noticed the
improvements.
AN UPDATE FROM RANDY:
I am beginning my seventh week on the Muscle Now program
and I am so impressed with my results. Two weeks ago I upped my food intake
and the results are in!! I gained six pounds, added almost 1/4 inch on my
biceps, and added 1 inch around my chest.
Since I have started the program I have gained nine
pounds, added about 1/2 inch to my biceps, and added two inches around my
chest, all while keeping my waist essentially the same (I lost a little in
the waist then added a little when I upped my food intake, the loss and gain
in the waist was 1/4 inch). Over all my body is improving quite a bit. I
almost don't know how to act when I see my reflection in the mirror.
I want to thank you again for doing all the research and
publishing your Muscle Now program. I continue to be impressed with the
results, as are my parents and family.
Thank you and God Bless,

Well I just finished my first cycle, and for somebody who
had no idea about working out, plus not following the program properly for
the first three weeks, I have experienced gains. I have written to you in
the past couple of weeks because I wasn't experiencing any major gains, but
I realized that I wasn't using the program correctly and I would like to
thank you for your patience in clearing some points out for me. My biceps
have increased 7/8 inch and my chest has also. You said it like it is and
you lived up to your promises. I can't thank you enough.

I have a 3 month update. First of all, I think that i
have got my moneys worth. I have gained approx. 16 pounds, and gained almost
2 inches on my biceps and 3 inches on my chest. Im still trying to reach my
goal to clear 151 by the end of the summer and that will mark the end of the
muscle mass cycle. My workouts are getting more intense. Well, thats all i
have for today, thanks for the support these past months.
I am glad to know that i found a routine thats not too
difficult, and shows results. Your program would be great for high school
sport teams. Parents wouldnt have to worry because their kids arent taking
any supplements that could harm them, and they would be eating healthier.
parents are always trying to push their kids to eat better these days,
especially mine. thanks for everything.. adios

Francesco!
I would just like to say, I'm ending my third week on your
program - and WOW! Not only am I loving the eating plan, but it has
re-energized my workouts.
Just for the record, I have seen more muscle and size gain,
and more fat loss in the last three weeks, than I did in 12 weeks on the
Body-for-Life program. In addition, I have stopped wasting money on
supplements and have found that you were absolutely right about how these
products are such a rip off.
To be honest, I did not anticipate these kind of results, so
I did not take a "before" pic. The only pic I have is the before pic I took
as I started BFL, twelve weeks before I started your program. The changes
from the BFL program were not much to brag about and my appearance was not
much different from when I started, so I didn't even take an "after" pic.
Having explained all that, I now wish I had - because my body is changing so
fast!
Thanks so much for putting your "stuff" out there, it has
changed my life.
Again, I can't even begin to express how much I love this
program - I will never approach eating or working out the same again.
Here are some measurement changes over a 3 week period while
following your program. Remember that I am 39 years of age:
Waist ---- 32 3/4 inches to 33 inches
Chest ---- 38 inches to 39 1/4 inches
Rt Biceps ---- 13 3/8 inches to 14 1/8 inches
Lft Biceps ---- 13 1/4 inches to 14 inches
Thanks again, this program is the real thing!

Francesco,
Today marks the third week I have been on your program and I
achieved very good success. So far I have gained a little over 1/2 inch on
my biceps, have gained about 12 pounds without any appreciable body fat
gains. Thank you for all the excellent information!

Francesco,
I FINALLY started going full force on MuscleNow about three
weeks ago with the full range of exercises and following the diet exactly
and I've been having great results. I added 3/4" on my arms in my first
week, lost 1 1/4" off my waist in a week and a half, I'm lifting 5-10lbs
more on each exercise every 3 days consistently and my legs have gained so
much mass that I outgrew 4 or 5 pairs of pants... all in my first 3 weeks of
doing EXACTLY what you said. :)
Thanks for everything, Francesco!

Francesco,
I've been using the program now for 2 months. My job (active
duty U.S. Army) prevents me from being able to follow the dietary
requirements to the letter, but the results have still been awesome.
My arms were stuck at 17 3/4" for 6 YEARS (no kidding), and
after 2 months on your program, they are just over 18 1/2" now, plus 10 lbs
of lean mass. I'm lucky if I can eat every 4 hours, let alone every 3 hours.
I usually get 5 hours of sleep at night, 6 or 6 1/2 on a good night.
Great program- in fact, it's unequaled.

Francesco,
I finished my first cycle Friday and thought I would
update you on the results. I gained a total of eleven pounds, added 1 inch
to each flexed arm, and 1.7 inches to my relaxed chest measurement. However,
my waist also grew 2", but with only a 3 1/2 mm increase on the caliper (8
to 11.5mm). Strength skyrocketed from week one to the final week as well,
adding over 40 lbs. to the Bench Press and about 60 lbs. to the Squat. But
much of this, of course, was muscle learning. But overall, I am very
pleased. I can truly say, that your course was all I hoped it would be, and
my results all I had expected--maybe more. I have achieved more in the last
6 weeks with yours and God's help, than I had in the last year of genuine
training--without proper knowledge and combination of techniques. And I work
in the fitness field! It goes to show how important it is, to humble
yourself, and listen to someone who has been where you want to go. God bless
you.
AN UPDATE FROM THOMAS:
To date, after two cycles on your program (3 months) I
gained 16 pounds (174 to 190), and 1 1/2 inches on my arms and a little more
for chest. I added 65 lbs. to my squat and 50lbs. to my bench with the other
exercises in proportion. And I should add, my gains have attracted
considerable attention. It's kind of funny. Prior to receiving your course I
had labeled myself a hardgainer--now I realize, I just wasn't eating or
training in the best way for gains. Thanks again for all your help.

Francesco,
I ordered Muscle Now and started the program 5 weeks ago.
Since then I have experienced excellent results and have gained just over 10
pounds of muscle without gaining body fat. I am 41 years old and have been
weight training for over 25 years. Somewhat like you, I was a skinny high
school kid that bulked up from 130 lbs. to 195 lbs. with a lot of muscle and
a fair amount of fat as well. I began body building in my early 20's and
lost the fat and was a muscular 170+ lbs.
Over the last 10 years or so since I got married and my
wife and I had children, I've struggled with finding the time and desire to
work out using my "old" workouts. Even when I was able to workout
consistently, I was finding it difficult to build and keep the same muscle
mass that I used to have when I was in my 20's. I assumed that it was just
part of the aging process, and that I would have to resort to using
"steroid-like" supplements in order to gain muscle mass as I got older
(which I did not want to do).
I am extremely confident since I started your program
that I will be able to put on as much lean muscle mass as I wish. Without
giving away your "secrets," the keys to your program are: 1.) your method of
varying the workouts so that your muscles can't adapt and stop growing; 2.)
your unique, common sense approach to nutrition; and 3.) a well thought-out
group of exercises/workouts that provide the right amount of direct and
indirect stimulation to each muscle group on different days. Due to my
travel schedule, I have not been able to completely follow your training and
nutrition completely, but I was able to modify it easily to fit my schedule.
Even with the modifications, I've gained roughly 2 pounds per week - and
just over 10 pounds total.
For anyone considering buying "MuscleNOW" that are
skeptical like I was, I will attest that the training methods and nutrition
truly do work and are worth the money. Thanks for an excellent program,
Francesco, and good luck!

Daniel DeRocco - Convent Station, NJ
I hit 170 pounds. For 4 years after college I was still
stuck at 155-160 and for the past 6 months, I couldn't get over 165. And in
2 1/2 weeks of your program, I put on 5 pounds!! Wow.
AN UPDATE FROM DANIEL:
I went to Philly to see a buddy of mine who I hadn't seen
in a while. He takes one look at me and is like, "what are you doing in the
gym? You're huge." It was great to hear a compliment like that. I really
hadn't seen much progress in the last 3 years and the gym started to feel
like a waste of time. Anyway, thanks again and talk to you soon.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM DANIEL:
Just wanted to send over a progress report - I'm through
the first cycle with great results:
This is the first time in years that I've stayed on a
program for over 6 weeks.
Thanks for the help and we'll chat soon.

Francesco,
I wanted to give you an update that you can use on your
website. I am a doctor of Family Medicine (MD) and am always looking for
good programs I can recommend to my patients that need to get into shape. I
was intrigued with your program when I found it on the Internet. I am a firm
believer that proper diet and exercise are the key to physical fitness.
I just completed the first 6 week cycle of your muscle
building program. In that short time I added one inch to each of my arms and
an inch to my chest. With a little planning the diet is easy to follow. I
recommend that users keep a record of meals they like that add up to their
needed totals so that after a few weeks they can easily know what to eat and
don't have to do any more figuring. They can continually add to their record
to add meal variety.
I have found the principles to be sound and I appreciate
the fact that the diet is based on common every-day wholesome foods and does
not exclude entire food groups like some common fad diets. Keep up the good
work. I'll keep you posted.

Francesco,
I have been working out for easily 15 years and have never
seen results. I am now midway through my second cycle on your program, I've
gained 10 pounds and am seeing serious changes. And so is everyone else. And
get this. I'm 48 years old and a classic ectomorph (skinny). There is an
enormous amount of information in your book and it all makes sense. You
start to realize that it's not a mystery. And somehow, I don't know how, you
have a way of actually getting through to people. There are a trillion books
and plans on the market and I've never stuck with any of them longer than a
month before I get bored or start to adapt and then the whole thing falls
apart before I know it. I am coming up to 12 weeks on your program and I've
never missed a workout or thought to alter your recommendations in any way.
THAT'S an accomplishment!
Thanks for your help. Your program has been truly amazing.

Francesco,
I cannot tell you how many times in the past 10 weeks I have
said to myself, "This is working."
I was a trainer and Nautilus facility manager in the
mid-'80's which was a great education on form and discipline. My education
ended there and it stood me in good stead for all these years. But I am now
45 years old. Metabolism has slowed and I am facing the years when muscle
mass declines with testosterone levels. At the same time I disdain the
steroid and supplement culture -- it's unnatural. And I am frustrated with
the workout-of-the-month mentality of the current men's magazines -- too
many contortions and not enough results.
So I went looking for a non-steroid program with a rational
basis and found yours. In fact it was my birthday present to myself last
November.
I am in week 5 of my second series of six week progressions
of your program. I have missed just a handful of workouts. I have not been
strict about diet except to improve balance of protein and carbs and to make
sure not to miss any meals. My post workout meal is nothing more than a
Carnation Instant Breakfast (an improvement over my favorite breakfast --
peanut butter crackers and a Coke!).
I weigh in every Sunday morning and find that a pattern has
developed. Fat gain has stopped cold -- in fact, I've lost a pound and a
half of fat. More important, I've gained a half pound of lean mass EVERY
WEEK since we began. That's five and a half pounds of lean mass, so far. I
am proud of this steady and noticeable improvement. My shirts feel a little
tighter around the sleeves, my torso muscles cast shadows that I've never
seen and my leg muscles begin to show "bellies" not seen for years. I'm not
massive nor headed for competition. But I notice the difference and like it.
And at an age when most of my counterparts expand around the middle, get
shorter of breath and lose lean mass, I can finally bench my weight, I'm
confident of my fitness and I'm growing bigger where I want to.
All of that to say, thanks.

Hi Francesco,
First I'd like to express my content with your method of
diet and training. I ordered your book and started training/dieting
according to your scheme beginning five weeks ago. I've in total trained for
about 16 years, and never experienced a training scheme which stays
interesting and motivating through the constant variation which it
incorporates.
Since now it brought me about 4 kilos extra weight without
adding waist size or fat, as far as I can judge, while muscle has increased.

Hi Francesco,
I've been using your course regularly for the past 10
weeks and am experiencing more growth than I ever have before. I was an
underweight "hardgainer" until I tried your course. But I'm sure you're not
surprised. Thanks for your great program.

I've only just finished my first cycle and I flexed my
back to ask my wife how it's looking. She sounded totally shocked and almost
laughing saying, "WOW you should see your back Brett!! It almost looks
freaky!!" She was referring to the muscle size of course. She took some pics
on our digital and I also said WOW!! That's awesome to see the results- I
just don't see my back too much and want to improve the gains in the muscles
I do see in the mirror.
Your program is awesome and I look forward to working it
more. Your system definitely works.

i was wondering if 8 inches increase in the chest and 3
inches in biceps and 1 inch in waist = 40 lbs of muscle.
anyways i am reasonably 40lbs heavier going from 36 chest to
44 chest on this program.

I just wanted to tell you that I have been following you
program for 4 weeks and people are noticing a difference. After Jui Jitsu
training I took my shirt off and one of my buddies asked if I have been
hitting the weights hard. That was pretty cool!
The best complement I have received is from my wife, I
told her that I have gained about 4 pounds and she said that my body fat
still looks low. That was great coming from her because she sees me ever
day. The program definitely works!
AN UPDATE FROM RUDY:
I have been using your program from a few months and I
wanted to let you know that I am still getting results. I saw one of my
cousins and he made a funny comment to me. It was something like this, " How
the roids doing? Looks like they are working." I just laughed to myself.
This made me feel good. Your program is still working.
Thank you,

Mr. Castano,
How are you doing? I'm really enjoying the program. I'm
in week 4. I got my first compliment last weekend. i was in Chucky Cheese
with my brother, his kids and mine. A lady walked up to me and just stared
at my arms. I thought it was because my son cut her off while walking. She
said it wasn't she was just admiring the size and shape of my arms. And she
grabbed them. I never had anything like that happen before. I can't wait
until the summer at the pool. I know if I stay true to the program and will
get many more to tell you. Thanks.

Francesco, Hi my name is eric prescott. I haven't emailed
before because you did a good job explaining everything in the book. I
finally decided to eat exactly like i should this past fall and i've seen
phenomenal results. I have a high metabolism and graduated high school
weighing around 160. Thanks to you and this program i am now at a solid
190-195 and am going after an aau bench record. I want to send photos, but i
will wait until this time next year where i will hopefully be around 215
with 18 in. arms. Who would have thought? Thanks for developing this program
and letting people know supplements aren't needed.

How you doing man? I have not emailed you for a long
time. My name is Nick Lyons and I started your MuscleNOW program around the
first of the year. things are going good. very impressed with the program.
FYI: I have gained 1.5 inches in my arms and 6 inches in my chest. my bench
has gone from 110 lbs up to 180 lbs. and that is how much I weigh. that was
a big accomplish for me to be able to bench 100% of my body weight. later

I thought I'd drop a line just to let you know that after
only the intro phase and the first week of the muscle building phase I've
broken plateau after plateau. Just before i started the program, I could
reach around my thighs with both hands and touch my fingers and thumbs; now
there is at least a 1 to 2 inch gap between my thumbs if my fingers are
touching! I haven't taken formal measurements of my legs but the simple test
I performed in the shower this morning (out of pure curiosity) proved to me
beyond the shadow of a doubt that your program works! Know I'm very curious
to see what my measurements in my upper body are at the start of the third
week. Thank you so much!
AN UPDATE FROM JAMES:
I'm still making gains. I've gained about an inch and a
half in my chest (in one week!) up to 40.5", and fractions of inches in
every other measurement. Another great gain is my overall strength, I'm
still very impressed as to how fast I'm able to increase weights 5 to 20 lbs
with no problem!
Thanks again for all your help.
ANOTHER UPDATE FROM JAMES:
I'd like to update you on my progress. I've completed my
first cycle and only missed two workouts. My gains were very impressive. In
measurements i gained at least 8 inches total. My sister that I see only
once a week would note every week that i look bigger and more muscualr every
time she saw me. My muscles are definitely more shapely and toned than
before. In 6 weeks I gained more than a few years gave me before. In 6 weeks
I broke plateau after plateau. My strength has skyrocketed! I went from
benching 135 to 175 lbs! My goal is to bench 225 before the summer ends! My
arms are also incredibly strong compared to what the used to be. I am doing
almost twice the weight I used to do in many exercises. The other great
change is how i feel. The diet is great! When you start eating what your
body wants, when it wants it, you feel so good. I am probably the healthiest
person I know! Thanks again for all your help! Feel free to use this message
in your testimonials if you wish, I know how important the testimonials are,
they were the major factor in my investment in the muscle now program.
A THIRD UPDATE FROM JAMES:
Its been forever since i'v written! I'v been insanly busy with school, and of course, working out! I thought i'd drop a quick line to let you know how i'v been doing with my prgress and a years progress. Last year at about this time when i started the program, I weighed about 155lbs at 6'1" tall. I know weigh 177 lbs and some change with 10% body fat. Pretty much ever muscle group is really improved and Body building/fitness has become so much more to me. I am student supervisor in my Colleges amazing new weight room, and I love helping people out in the gym, teaching them about proper nutrition, etc etc. I plan on really kicking it into high gear once this school year is out in a month or two and really packing on some substantial lean mass and cutting the fat back to around 5-7%. Thank you sooooooo much for getting me started in what i hope to be life full of proper nutrition and fitness, and helping others learn and reach their goals too!

Hi Francesco,
I'm on the workout plan and diet now 6 weeks so I
thought I'd drop you a line and tell you how I'm doing. I've seen big
gains in that time - in total my weight has gone up 15 pounds! Everyone
I know has noticed big time and I have to say I'm very impressed myself
and I have you to thank for cutting out the confusion out of gaining
muscle. The vast majority of this weight gain seems to be lean muscle as
I haven't gained much fat. My gains are as follows:
As for my gains - the last time I weighed myself I had put on 20 lbs. That was nearly 7 months ago! I don't have scales in the house so I must purchase some. Since then though I think I've put on at least another 8-10 lbs. Measurement wise - the following gains in the last 11 months
Starting weight 146 lbs - Approximate weight now at least 170 lbs
Neck (original) 15 in - now 15.5 in
Bicep (original) 13.5 in- now 15.5 in
Chest (original) 38.5 in - now 41.75 in
Waist (original) 30 in - now 31 in
Thighs (original) 20 in - now 22.25 in
Thanks again Francesco for everything - you've eliminated all the grey areas I had when it came to building muscle.
