"Lost Fat & Gained Muscle" "It just occured to me that I never thanked you for taking your time to write back to me. I just wanted to show you that your time was not wasted. I considered it a gift." Derick H., Japan "Gained 20 lbs in Even With Colitis!" "I've been seeing great results and my life is generally improving. The diet seems to help dramatically with my digestive disorder, and I'm slowly but steadily putting on weight and becoming stronger than I've ever been in my life (6'2 from 150 to 170). My plan to not go through life skinny is becoming a reality and I owe a great debt to you for the guidance. The reason I bought your program is mainly because of the nutritional guideline. It's fundamentally healthy and adaptable to the 'SCD' diet I'd been on before getting the program (Specific Carbohydrate Diet), which is very effective. As you probably know, weight loss is a major symptom of colitis. The SCD diet is effective but it has no nutritional guidelines, just recipes and explanations - you're expected to just eat whatever. It's your program that mapped it all out for me. It's exactly what I need to make effective improvements to my health." Stephen B., Philadelphia   "Skeptical User Gained 30 lbs in 12 Weeks!" 'I can honestly say that I've completed the first 12 weeks of your program with flying colors. With the effort I put into, and the results I've accomplished, I'm happy to say I've gained 30 pounds over the past 12 weeks. Everything has increased....my bench, squats, you name it, I've put on more pounds. All my clothes are uncomfortably tight. Looks like I'll have to go out and get a whole new wardrobe pretty soon. I get numerous compliments on what I've done. And for everyone who didn't think I could do it, I proved them wrong. They all thought I was wasting my time and money. Now the one's who doubted me, are coming to me for advice! And I just respond with 2 words....'Anthony Ellis' ... Sorry for the crap I gave you before. " [This customer refused to believe that this program could help him, and continually argued with me before even beginning it.] Kenny W., Illinois   "I Don't Think I Can Thank You Enough..." "Just a quick thank you for your numerous email responses to my inquiries over the past 14 weeks. Your advise and support was a real factor in my success. I don' think I can thank you enough... ... I can only imagine how it feels to be able to help so many people realize that there is a great physique inside all of us. Thanks for taking the time." Barry K., Florida   "Gained 11 lbs in 17 Weeks" "Bought your program at the first of the year and I am hooked! I have implemented your workout / nutrition / supplement routine to the letter. Currently, I have gained 11 pounds - in the 17th week. I will do a formal posting after I complete the 24 weeks. I find your website to be very helpful. I have joined the forum several times and asked a question or two. Don't really have lots of questions - all of the answers are in the book... I am very pleased with your program. I was always intimidate by the "big guy" half of the gym, therefore, I used to always work out on the machines - not knowing what I was doing - just wasting my time. Now, I am clearly progressing (building lots of muscle) and the results are showing! My goal is to move from 144 to 170 - currently at 155. "The cost of purchasing your program is the most cost efficient weight gainer available." Scott H., Texas   "Gained 30 lbs And Still Gaining!" "I would just like to say that I think your package is great. I have bought and read many manuals that claim to have all of these secrets to gaining mass muscle, but none of them worked, until I stumbled upon your web site. I have gained 30 pounds of muscle and like I said still gaining weight, so I'm sure I'll reach my goal soon. The other day, I hung out with a friend I hadn't seen in a while and he asked me if I was a bodybuilder now. He kept saying he couldn't believe that I had gotten so big, and to tell you the truth, neither can I. On your program, I have gained more muscle in 3 months than in almost a year of training." Matthew G., Georgia   "Lost Fat and Gained Muscle!" "Hi again Anthony, I wanted to let you know I am progressing well and that I have gained weight!!!! WOW. This program sure does work, I am now up to 84 kg, approx 184.8 lbs. On your diet I have gained approx 7.4-7.8lbs of muscle in under 6 weeks!!! THANK YOU for this, finally I am gaining. Australian's love your program!!" [3 weeks later] "...just wanted to give you an update, So far I have lost 6.4 lbs of fat and have gained at the same time 9.1 lbs of muscle, Thank you ever so much!" [2 weeks later] "Hi again mate, wanted to let you know my latest results, I have currently lost 10.1 lbs of bodyfat and at the very same time have gained 10.1 lbs of muscle!! So my weight was at 176 lbs and now 11 weeks later it is the same, yet I look a whole lot better, so thank-you again." Kevin F., Australia   "Impressed With The Program" "Alright, just like you recommended, I took 7-10 days to read...then RE-READ your program. All I can say is, "I am thoroughly impressed with all of the work you have put into this book." You already know its JAMMED-PACKED with info. But as a customer I want to tell why I am so pleased." "You cover quite a bit of biology; like hormones, body types, and muscle fibers. This is absolutely essential to me because it explains why I can't gain the weight. After all, how can I honestly fix something without knowing what is wrong? I now know where I went wrong. For the past two years I haven't eaten right and I've constantly over trained. I simply didn't know any better. 'TIL KNOW. Thanks for spelling things out for me. The only complaint I have is trying to remember all those darn scientific names. I mean how often does a person here the word Triglycerides or Glucagon? I absolutely love the weight training part, nothing is left out in this section. The best part is how you give an explanation for EVERYTHING. You stress a lot on compound lifts, but sure enough you explain why. It's the same with tempo, training to failure, negative and positive energy even why we only train three times a week. I mean its hard for me to think of a question to ask you (that's why I haven't e-mailed you lately). You cover the lifts we will be doing, how often to do them and more importantly how to do them correctly. The pictures and little bit of commentary next to the exercise really does help. There's even some useful little tips you've thrown in. The Food Basics is a bit lengthy but all just as important. Once again everything explained right down to the last detail. It just amazes me how you have done all this research. The Planning section is pretty self-explanatory, but still a good section. I like the recipes and how you've done all the math for me. The charts and conversion tables make for quick access. Two thumbs way up! Lets face it the closer I got to the Muscle Gain Program the more excited I got. I mean this is what I am going to be doing. I like all the samples in that section. There's just lots of them, plain and simple. It's really got to be hard for someone to mess this program up. Like I said everything is spelled out for you." Todd W., Washington   "Gained Over 35 lbs in 6 Months" "My name is Michael Hensley and I bought your package about a year ago and its been great. I read your article and I felt the same. My junior year i weighed about 125 and couldn't even lift a 100 pounds. Then I joined the National Guard when i turned 17 and it changed me completely. After i got out of basic training i got up to 135 pounds of lean muscle and my max went up to about the same as my weight. My mind was fit and my body was fit, but it seemed like i could never gain any weight. After highschool i went to A.I.T (advanced individual training) and lifted more and more. I was doing over 80 push-ups and 80 sit-ups and my max went up to about 175. After A.I.T i went to the gym about 3 times a week and saw some results in my bench and legs but not enough to satisfy a 145 pound guy. I finally came to my senses and sought for help, thats where i found your web site. I read your stuff and began to realize i am not the only one in the world to still be as little as i w! as. I saw your results and had to try for myself. After i got the package i read through everything and got plenty of knowledge from it. I started using the workout sheet and changed my eating habits and saw results really quick. I gained about 20 pounds and people i went to school with couldn't even recognize me and i just got out in 2001 and i wasn't even finished yet. After about 6 months i weighed in at about 180... I thank you for helping me out thus far to stun my friends that I use to hang out with..." Michael H., New York   "Gained 6 lbs In 3 Weeks" "I just wanted to thank you for the recommendation and to update you on my progress. I created an Excel file charting my weight over the course of the 3 weeks since your previous email and will attach it to this email if you want to take a look. Here are the numbers from it: 11-Sep: 157.6 14-Sep: 157.8 15-Sep: 159 17-Sep: 159.6 18-Sep: 160.4 21-Sep: 160.6 22-Sep: 162.4 25-Sep: 162.4 28-Sep: 161.2 1-Oct: 163.4 2-Oct: 164 Total Weight Gain: 6.4 pounds Pounds Gained / Week: 2.13 My body fat has stayed the same the past three weeks. I guess that's a good thing, as it means my weight gain hasn't consisted of fat. I know it might be silly, but I always made sure to weigh myself at the same time of day, after having eaten the same number of meals, and wearing the same clothing. I didn't want any unnecessary variation in my numbers! Thanks again for the tip, it really seems to have paid off thus far! I don't know where I'd be without your help and inspiration. " Brett G., Pennsylvania   "Gained 12 kg in 16 Weeks" "I feel obliged to send you a testimonial for your program! Not only for you, but for the others like me that may hesitate to try it. I used your program while I was doing my MS in L.A. and working at the same time! It was a VERY tight schedule and from time to time, I was forced to skip meals. HOWEVER, I did manage to gain more than 10kg (I'm from Europe, Greece, we don't use lbs:)) in 16 weeks. I went from 58kg to 70kg. I had to buy new clothes since the old ones, did not fit! That's one of the hidden costs of the program :) I never thought it could happen. I would like to recommend to everyone that can merely spare 1hour a day, 3 days a week, to go ahead and do it! I was forced to stop exercising for 4-5 months after my first gains and did not loose a single gram of weight! I've now started the program again, using NO supplements this time, and I can still gain about 1kg per week. To whoever may be reading this: STOP thinking about it and do it! You don't know what you're missing! You'll get permanent gains with a few months of investment! This testimonial is real, I'm not affiliated with Anthony Ellis or anything! Come to Greece and find out if you want! :)" Alexandros B., Greece   "Better Than A Personal Trainer!" "I purchased the electronic version of your manual and started the program about 9 days ago. Let me tell you, I can't believe it's only been a little over a week and I'm already noticing changes! My body feels stronger, I've gained 5 pounds (and NOT in my waist!), I'm never hungry, etc. I'm not new to working out. I've been weight training for a few years, but I've never trained correctly OR consistently. And...when I DID train hard, I never took in enough protein to allow my muscles to grow. By not eating correctly nor resting enough, I was doing exactly what weight training attempts to do...'break down muscle tissue'. Your manual is EXACTLY what I needed. I got more from your manual than from any personal trainer. The most valuable part to me is the diet/nutrition information and the excel templates. Just seeing the graphs which tracks my improvement is incentive enough to stay consistent and work hard. Thank you again..." Emil C., California   "Gained 11 lbs in 6 Weeks" "Thank You Anthony!!! 6 Weeks ago I started on your program and these were my stats.. Total Weight: 139 lbs. Bodyfat %: 14.7% Pounds of Fat: 20.44 lbs. Pounds of Muscle: 118.56 lbs. After 6 hard weeks of following your program this is what my stats were today... Total Weight:150.5 lbs Bodyfat %: 11.9% Pounds of Fat: 17 lbs. Pounds of Muscle: 132.5 lbs. This is only the beginning! For years I've been searching for ways to gain weight and was unable to. I'm not a short guy either I'm 6'3" so you can imagine at 139 Lbs. how scrawny I was, and still are. There's finally a light at the end of the tunnel now, my self confidence is up and I'm charging forward to reach my goal of 185 lbs! Thanks again for you program!!!! Until now I had no IDEA how important your diet is...I now see it as the most important thing in my training. Just as important if not more than my workout program."

Wow, this is the best program that I have ever used. I am so glad that I was able to find your website. But now that I have gained this weight and soon will reach my mass goal of 200-205lbs, I am wondering when I will need to switch to the fat loss program...Damn, this program works!!!!! I now have other people asking me how I did it. IT FEELS GOOD!!!! I have a cruise coming up in September and I am more than on track to looking good by that time. Thanks. " [update] "Last time I wrote you I was about 181 lbs from starting off at 163. Well, I have continued my weight gaining plan and I now weigh 197 as of last Friday. This means that I have gained about 32 lbs since I started my plan on Feb 4. After only 7 full weeks!!!!!!!! I think that sometimes my mouth drops when I think about it. It's funny because people even ask me if I am "juicing up." I actually take it as a compliment because I don't use drugs and all that weight gain reflects on my hard work ethic. However, my family is well aware of your program and they are now wanting to hit the bandwagon. But instead of being skinny guys they are FAT guys. Can't thank you enough!!!!!" [update] "By the way I went from 163 on Feb 04 2002 to about 199 on May 05 2002. This was sooooo awesome. I just wish that I could have taken photos like you kept telling everyone to do. Last summer was the first summer I have ever looked “good”. All those other pricks that kept making fun of me before were soon silent. I have leaned up to about 193."

Your program is the most organized and detail program I have ever seen. I have gained 10 to 15 lbs in just 4 weeks. I started benching at 205 and now I bench 225 lbs. I never thought I would be this strong! I do admit that I had been doing push up and dips before I started your program bur I never thought I would bench so much. I first weight 150 but now I am 165. I can't wait to see how big I will be in two more months of training. I use to be in the gym all the time in the Navy but I couldn't get any bigger. No one had an organized solution for me but I thank God you did. I think you book should be in every weight training class in the US. There is so much information about the body, hormones, weight training and the way food is broken down in the body. I just want to thank you for your program. It has been a tool for me to use to get the shape I always wanted." Jason S., Washington Want to read more? Check out our Case Studies and our Testimonials. DISCLAIMER: Individual results will vary.
