Well, no. This is another in the endless examples of muscle building misconceptions, as one follows the SAME routine whether they wish to gain 1, 10, 30, or 80 pounds of new muscle. The only difference is that one with a minor muscle building goal will switch to a "maintenance" phase sooner than one with larger muscle building aspirations, but both lifters train and diet identically.

Thus, YOU decide how much muscle is built by switching to a maintenance phase the moment you are satisfied with muscle mass/body fat. This applies to both males and females, as both genders control the level of muscle gained and fat lost, thus achieving what they consider to be "ideal" given their objectives.

What If I Am Busy?

Don't believe that you must devote your life to training and eating in order to change your physique, as otherwise, nobody could succeed with my program, or any other, since we all have personal obligations that we must fulfill, and training/diet must work WITHIN our schedule, rather than make it difficult for us to function. This is why I offer various routines in my MuscleNOW program that allow you to select the workout schedule that best fits with your own personal schedule, and this provides for a much more realistic approach to gaining new muscle mass, as opposed to providing only one routine that all must follow.

I live by a simple motto -- results are contingent upon realism. We are all BUSY with work, school, family, etc, and a system that can't be followed is completely useless. Many have tried bodybuilding programs that are so time consuming and intensive that there is no other choice but to quit after only several workouts -- it's impossible to mentally tolerate long, torturous training sessions. The good news is, shorter workouts are actually MORE effective than lengthy, seemingly endless bouts of training.

Must I Eat Strange Foods?

No, unless items such as lean meats, dairy products, rice, pasta, fruit, vegetables, bread, cereal, etc sound awkward to you! My diet is very flexible, allowing you to ENJOY meals while achieving results, as no diet is worth starting if you cannot maintain the plan long term, and my goal is to make this a lifestyle change that you can continue to follow.
