"Gained 20 lbs of Muscle, Lost 22 lbs of Fat!"

"Gained 40 lbs In 8 Months"
"Hey Anthony, although I never gained as much as you did in 12 weeks,
I'm still pleased to announce that I gained 40 lbs in about 8 months.
When I started your program and you asked me to send you my goal weight,
I wrote down 190 lbs., with tongue in cheek. You see, I never believed
I'd ever reach that goal. But as the months went by and I kept on gaining,
my optimism also grew. To make a long story short, about 4 months ago
I reached my goal, and right now I'm at 195 lbs. That is a 45 lb. gain
from my post-sickness weight.
I tell people that I'm the only guy I know who can gain 45 lbs and still
be considered skinny. Because I'm so tall (6'2-1/2") and was so skinny
to start with, 45 lbs has made a significant difference, but I'm still
not where I want to be. So I set a new goal at 210 lbs., and I know I
will reach it. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you".
Darryl P., Montana
"Gaining More Self-Esteem"
"Just thought I'd drop you a line about my progress. Your life story
on your site really hit home with me. I was speechless when contemplating
purchasing your program, it turns out we have the exact same life story,
I can relate to every word.
I too was teased when I was a kid. I was embarrassed to go to the beach
or swimming in a pool because I was ridiculed and called Stickman. I would
never wear shorts in the summer, (which got really hot), because of my
skinny legs. I also took up martial arts for the same reasons as you.
I decided to purchase your program about a month or so ago without expecting
any real accomplishments. But I didn't actually decide to go forward with
it until about two weeks ago. I was hanging out at my favorite club that
I go to every Saturday night.
There was a girl there that I met that night who was all over me. It
was very hot in the club that night and this was the type of club where
every guy walks around in a tank top or no shirt at all. This girl constantly
made an attempt to take off my shirt.
I was so self conscious about my skinny appearance that I decided to
sweat it out all night.
After that night I decided to give your program a shot. My average weight
is about 150 but I drop to 130-135 very frequently. It's a struggle to
keep 150 up. I officially started on your program on Monday The 15th,
(3 days ago), with very little modification to your original plan.
My starting weight with the supplements and workout was around 143, Monday
morning I was 148, Tuesday morning I was 151, Wednesday morning I was
154, and this morning I am 158.
Everyone around the office is recognizing the increase. I couldn't even
fit into my favorite pants this morning. ..when I look in the mirror I
can see my body filling out nicely and I love it. I have a higher level
of self esteem now even only after the first 4 days. I am looking forward
to going to the club again in about two weeks with my new look...
Thanx again for doing this for the little guy. Nobody realizes the struggle
we have."
Reuben R., Connecticut

"Poor College Student Gained 17 lbs of Muscle!"
"I have been on the program since early October 06.
I'm a poor college student so I sorda customize my own plan and dont
follow the program to the full extent, but heed most of the advice given
for the diet, and follow the workout regiment.
This is a picture of me at 150 lbs, I began the program at about 136
lbs.
I now weigh about 153 lbs, but recently cycled off creatine, and maintained
the same weight.
So I am looking forward to cycling back on in a few days because this
leads me to believe I must have gained it just didnt show due to the loss
in waterweight."
Aaron M., Michigan
"Defeated Clinical Depression And Gained 35 lbs In 8 Weeks"
"I am now in my eighth week and I started at 150lbs with an aim
to get to 180lbs with 5% bodyfat. I am now 185lbs 10.5% bodyfat, and i
look huge, its great and I am only on my eighth week.
I am gonna keep close eye on my bodyfat to keep it under 12% then I will
then diet to get my bodyfat to 5%. I will decide, when i am ripped, whether
to pursue getting larger, but to be honest Iam as big as I wanna be.
I am in the process of getting my friends into your program, they are
getting jealous. Thanks for helping me Anthony, not only have you helped
get the body I've wanted , but I feel very strong minded.
When i started you program, I suffered from a bad case of depression,
and was on medication. Since starting your program, my doctor has taken
me off the medication, and because I have been doing your program, I'm
healthy in my mind as well as my body I've gotten out of hole I thought
was impossible to get out of."
Danny C., United Kingdom
"Increased Strength And Motivation"
"First, let me tell you that I've been on your program for two weeks,
and I can already see and feel quite a difference in my body. I can honestly
say that I've made more gains on your program in TWO WEEKS than on any
other I've tried. I attribute most of that to my own miseducation and
lack of knowledge. I never quite realized the importance of training the
compound muscle groups or eating properly.
There's so much bogus info out there, its unbelievable."
[two weeks later] "I'm in the fourth week of your program,
and I'm getting great results. My strength is increasing steadily, and
I can definitely see and feel a difference in my body.
It's getting to where I actually look forward to going to the gym to
see what kind of gains I've made."
Ross Y., California
"Lost 8 lbs of Fat!"

Hayden F.., New Jersey
"Gained 27 lbs In 4 Weeks"
"I finished my fourth week, I have gained 27lbs, this week I gained
almost 6 lbs. I don't know why people take steroids, they should use your
routine, this is amazing. Unbelievable, I am not that 130lb skinny guy
anymore, I am confident in myself.
When I am walking on the streets 110% of women stare at me!!! I am not
joking man, this is truth, I even use shorts already -- something that
I never used before.
Anthony, I am changing, my body has changed incredibly, I feel healthier,
I stopped smoking. In my first day I couldn't do any dips, now I can do
9 in a row.
My chest has increased 4/25", my biceps 2", my calves almost
2", my upper thigh 2/73 inches."
Jose M., Mexico
"Gained 30 lbs In 8 Months"
"I am starting the 4th week of your program now and have gained
12 lbs so far. That is not quite your rate as shown in the manual, but
I am pleased."
[one week later] "Just wanted to drop you a line and commend
you on a great program. Over five weeks I gained 13 lbs... My goal is
170 lbs, and I am now at 150. Thanks again bud."
[latest update 8 mths later] " It's been awhile, but I
am here to report that I have successfully reached my goal of gaining
30lbs."

"Gained 25 lb And Added 5 Inches To Chest"
"Hey Anthony I am in my 7th week of your program and it has helped
me out a lot. I gained 1.5 inches on my arms and about 5 inches on my
chest. My bench has gone up about 40 pounds..."
[9 weeks later] "I finished your program about a month
ago and I am pleased with the 25 pounds I put on. I never wrote to thank
you so I am thanking you right now.
You have help me to achieve what I have always dream of but was too lazy
to work for. I just didn't believe such great gains could come so easily."
[Note: It's not that easy! He really worked hard!]
Paul S., Massachusetts
"Gained 18 lbs And Lost 8% Of Body Fat!"
"I have been following the diet very strictly and have been working
out three times every week just like I'm supposed to.
I'm looking at my stats right now. I've gained 13 lbs, 3" on my
shoulders, and 1-1/4" on my biceps
[update] "...Numbers aside, I feel great. I've been tanning
at the pool at my apartment and I love just walking over there with my
shirt off.
That's very unlike last summer when I was embarrassed just to be out
there. I gained well over an inch on my biceps and almost four inches
around my shoulders.
I had a very dear friend to me tell me recently that she, "never
thought the day would come that (I) would fill out a tank top." Needless
to say, I also have swayed from the baggy clothes that were so important
in hiding my size. I still wear the jeans...only NOW it's without a belt!"

Clayton S., Oklahoma
"Lost 7% Body Fat And Gained 8 lbs Of Muscle"
"I am currently on the fat loss and almost done. I went ftom 16%
to 9% body fat in about 12 weeks. I took my time and monitored my measurements
every 2 weeks.
I will me starting the Mass Gain in a couple of weeks and have very high
hope... I am totally amazed, I mean TOTALLY amazed at the fat I lost around
my middle.
I am at about where you were in your first "before" picture,
with more muscle definition. I am very consistent with the eating, the
workouts etc., this program works! That's why I believe that the Gain
Mass part will work also, like you said,"consistency is the Key".
I am very much into this lifestyle, I enjoy working out etc. thanks for
giving us all the correct information, so many people are mis-informed.
"
[update 4 months later] "...in the first 12 wks (of starting
the mass program) I gained 10 lbs, took 2 weeks off and after week 15
gained 1 more. I'm happy with the results :-) (8 lbs of muscle)."
Paul I., Connecticut
"Gained 20 lbs In 12 Weeks"
"Anthony, first and foremost I'd like to thank you for providing
us skinny guys with this fabulous program. Putting on weight for me was
like trying to hit a randy johnson fastball...impossible.
I really thought I was just gonna have to live with what I had. Since
I started your program I have gone from 157 lbs. to 178 lbs. This may
not be a substantial gain compared to many others but for me it is almost
miraculous.
I finally am proud of the way I look. I recently finished the 12-week
program but the best part in my eyes is that I have all the tools I need
to continue to work hard at further gains. My eating habits now that I'm
off the program are considerably improved from how they were before it.
I love working out and it is now something I look forward to every week.
Your program has completely changed my diet, my body, and most of all
my mind. Those things don't end with the program they just continue to
improve and for that I owe you a huge thanks. Thank You."

"It was 1 year and three months ago that I bought Anthony's book.
My job requires me to travel quite frequently thus it took me longer than
I desired but I stuck with it and managed to meet my goal of 165lbs.
When I started, I weighed 124lbs at 5'11' now I weigh 167lbs and look
more "normal" and feel much better. I also learned a lot more
about myself in the process. When I traveled, my goal was to maintain
my weight and I sought out places to work out. When in town for periods
I concentrated on gaining weight. I did and continue to use a trainer.
I understand that I don't need one per se, but with my hectic schedule
I have found the trainer easier to help me with spotting etc. I especially
need the spotting when doing arms for my left side.
My upper body and arms have been a little more difficult to train due
to my hand injury (gripping is the major concern) but they have showed
considerable improvement as well. You might not be interested in the detail
measurements but I am ECSTATIC with the arms and chest this is the biggest
they have ever been in 33 years.
When I started I couldn't curl more than thirty pounds due to my left
side, now I can curl easily 3 times that for my heavy sets. By no means
impressive but I have no illusions of being Arnold or Jean-Claude, just
better than I was! I am now shooting for 175lbs as my new goal.
Friends and family have been quite surprised at my gain in weight and
muscularity."
Kevin Wellen
"Gained 50 lbs in 24 Weeks"
"I have had your program for about 9 months now and have been making
great gains.
I'm 6'3" and started out at 175lb. The first 12 weeks I went from
175lb to 200lb. The first few weeks were the toughest but once I got in
to a routine it became a way of life.
Weeks 12-16 were also tough for me since I got used to eating like crazy
the first 12 weeks. I soon adapted and lost most of the extra fat I gained
in first 12 weeks.
I won't go into any detail from start to finish, but I can say I now
stand at a solid 6'3" 226lb and 9% body fat.
My nick name use to be Slim now my friend call me "Big D".
This is a great program and it's worth every dime I spent on it."
Dave M., Las Vegas
"Gained 20 kg in 5 Months, Wife Lost 12 kg of Fat"
"Just a short note to let you know how well your program is working
for me. I am 34 years old and have never weighted any more than 69 kilo's.
I was diagnosed with a chronic bowel disorder 5 years ago and have been
having huge problems maintaining even the 60 kilo mark. All the diets
I have tried have ended in disappointment and the doctors I have consulted
can offer no light on my situation.
Any way since starting your (now my) program on 6th March 2000 I have
gained 4 kilos and have never felt soooooooo good. A lot of the symptoms
associated with my disease have eased greatly and I look forward to gaining
even more weight. My original reason for purchasing your program was just
to maintain my original weight with maybe a little gain. NOW I feel that
a 15 to 20 kilo gain is not beyond me.
So far I have gained 2" on my arms and chest. My legs have never
had any shape, but now I can wear shorts and people already ask what the
hell I have done to my body. I am so stoked that even with my poor digestion
system I have been able to gain weight.
My wife of eight years is so impressed with my progress, that she is
now joining me in the gym. She has lost 2 kilos in one week. wooooo hooooo.
Once again Anthony thanks for the brilliant program."
[update 9/21/00] "Thought I would drop a note to let you
know how I am going. As of 21st September I weigh 81kgs (178.2lbs) I hope
to get to 90 kgs (198lbs) by December...my wife is still training too.
She has lost in total about 12 kgs since April."
Peter H., Australia
"Gained 21lbs of muscle, lost 13lbs
of fat in 6 months"
"I find your program the most attractive I have seen so far, the
most advanced and logical. A coworker of Men's Health told me 'its enough,
stop now you will look like a body builder', and so says my wife...Before
working with you I did not expect such succes so I am surprised.."

"Gained 40 lbs for Football"
"After the first four weeks on your program I have gained 14.4 pounds
of muscle. Oddly enough, I have also lost 5.4 pounds of bodyfat. My bodyfat
went from 10.6 to 6.6 in four weeks on the mass diet. How is this so?"
[Two weeks later] "Today I took measurements, and found
that I have gained 21.5 pounds of muscle after 6 weeks and have lost 8.5
pounds of fat...I weighed 170.5 with 4.6 percent bodyfat."
[Three weeks later] "Thank you so much for this program.
You were right about people thinking I would be on steroids. At a football
meeting the captains told some teammates, 'Stay off the beer, stay off
the chew.' Then, our Pre-season All-State running back tells me joking,
'Sean, stay off the steroids.'
Everyone got a good laugh and I told them I had gained forty pounds since
wrestling season. It was great!"

"Gained 38 lbs in 12 Weeks"
"...Just wanted to let you know that I'm 183lb [up from 145lbs]
and a 'machine' in the gym. People honestly think im on 'roids. I watch
so many people fail all the time while I'm in there. Bad form, God only
knows how bad of a diet, overtraining, etc. Everything wrong, wrong, wrong...
you are right 100% on what it takes to put on weight.
Your program is so effective, its just a joke watching some people try
to 'get big'. I have told you countless time how thankful I was stumbling
across your program, but really Anthony, there is nothing else that compares
to it out there.
Be proud of what you have given back to people, and for how many guys
and girls you have helped.. Plus your just a cool guy! "

"Lost Fat And Improved Cholesterol"
"I just want to thank you for teaching me how to diet and exercise
properly. I have just completed 10 weeks of fat loss and had my blood
tested this weekend. Apparently my blood tends to have high cholesterol
but not anymore!
Here are my results:
Sept. 1, 2000
- Glucose 101 (normal range is 70-110)
- Cholesterol 238 HI (normal range is 0-200)
- LDL-Cholesterol 161.8 HI (normal range 0.0-130.0)
- Triglycerides 126 (normal range 30-200)
- HDL-Cholesterol 51 (normal range 35-60)
- (A)HDL Risk Factor 4.7 (normal range 0.0-5.0)
Feb. 12, 2002 (18 months later - but only
10 weeks on program!)
- Glucose 92 (normal range is 70-110)
- Cholesterol 151 (normal range is 0-200)
- LDL-Cholesterol 90.2 (normal range 0.0-130.0)
- Triglycerides 79 (normal range 30-200)
- HDL-Cholesterol 45 (normal range 35-60)
- (A) HDL Risk Factor 3.4 (normal range 0.0-5.0)
My cholesterol went down 87 points. My LDL (bad) cholesterol went down
71.6. For the previous 18 months I didnt change my diet or exercise at
all, so I know the results are directly related to my dieting and exercise
that you prescribed."

"When I started Anthony's program, I was 6'4" 154 pounds. I
was very underweight, and had tried everything to pack on pounds. I had
trained intensely for four years in the weightroom. My gains in size,
however, were nonexistent.
It wasn't until I found Anthony's program that I fully understood what
my body required to gain quality mass fast, and effectively. I finally
understood that I had to work just as hard in the kitchen as I did in
the weightroom. I find it to be one of the most impressive collections
of workout material ever compiled for those who are unable to gain lean
mass.
By the 7th week of the program I had gained a full 25 pounds, and stayed
incredibly lean. My arms had gained a little over 2 inches and my chest
and delts were more developed and striated than ever. I had increased
my bench press from 195 to 245 over the course of the full program, and
I increased my squat by nearly 40 pounds.
What Anthony has compiled in his program is the most complete, up to
date guide available regarding weight training for proper mass gains.
When followed properly, there is no doubt in my mind that even the hardest
of gainers will experience good results."
The key is to get informed and get disciplined."
