Praise for The Leangains Method

Martin Berkhan is veritable expert in a world full of charlatans. This book is devoid of the superfluous nonsense currently littered amongst the fitness media. I know firsthand how effective Martins principles can be, as I have been a client of his. If youre tired of wasting money, time, and energy, and truly want to make positive changes in your physique, then this book is for you. I can honestly say that as far as physique transformation goes, this is the only resource youll ever need.

Michael D. Catherwood, television personality, radio legend ( Loveline ) and cohost of podcast The Swole Patrol with Dr. Drew Pinsky

If you could only read one book on fat loss, nutrition, muscle gain, strength, mindset, and physique enhancement this is it.

Candidly, I didnt expect the book to be so good. I thought it would be a detailed compilation of Martins previous material on his website. But its not. Its SO much more.

In this book, Martin does what Ive yet to see a single other author do in that he breaks down precisely how to individualize and structure your nutrition and workouts to, literally, build the body you want. He makes it quick, easy to understand and simple to adjust.

And thats the magic of The Leangains Method .

The information is world class and the extra bonus resources will make your jaw drop when you see how extensive they are. But the magic lies in Martins ability to teach you how to create your own, individualized plan. How to critically think, analyze and build a program for yourself (and others) that works just as well as if he wrote it himself.

Martin went above and beyond with this book. Im honored to give it my highest praise. And I urge you to get your own copy immediately because I mean it when I say it could change your life forever.

The Leangains Method is full of intelligence and experience that is (now) of the utmost importance for people planning towards success. Simple does not mean easy, but if you follow Martins prescription youll be hard pressed to find yourself faltering on your journey towards optimum health.

James Frecheville, Australian actor ( Animal Kingdom , The Drop , and more)

I havent been this excited about a fitness book in years. Its required reading for anyone who wants to getand stayin the best shape of their lives.

Inside, youre not only going to discover effective, practical, scientifically proven diet and training strategies and techniques for getting bigger, leaner, and stronger than ever before, but also Martins unique and motivating insights into conquering the inner game of fitness.

Drop whatever youre doing and read The Leangains Method . Its a fresh, original work in a stale, me-too market, and it deserves a lot of attention.

Mike Matthews, bestselling author of Bigger Leaner Stronger: The Simple Science of Building the Ultimate Male Body

Martin Berkhan takes his readers on a dark and twisted but refreshingly honest journey, from his deepest frustrations with dogmatic nutritional protocols as popularized by old-school bodybuilders and columnists without true scientific understanding, to dissecting decades worth of scientific studies in nutrition and training, as well as personal experience, ultimately merging both in a practical handbook containing everything that explains the popularity of the Leangains approach to transform physiques, minds, and lives.

Martin has left no reps in reserve with this one. Bulls eye!

Dr. Bojan Kostevski, MD, founder and chief medical officer at LambdaStrength.com

I was honored to be asked to review the long-awaited book from Martin Berkhan. Martin and I go back many years, where we discovered we had mutual passions and mindsets, and have had many interesting discussions both through email and in person.

I have always been both inspired and impressed by Martin, not only by his flair for producing thought-provoking methods and well-written articles, but also for building a world-class physique with world-record lifts to match it.

This book takes you through his personal journey, and Martin tells the compelling story of what made him into Mr. Leangains with an entertaining combination of authenticity and vulnerability. Then, we get into the Leangains diet and training approaches, where Martin presents the unique methods he has developed and evolved through decades of research and experimentation on himself and thousands of clients.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that he has focused on readability and ease of application, where other authors and experts in the industry tend to muddle the waters with overly complex science and jargon that makes it seem as if theyve never actually worked with someone in the real world. Martin cuts through the myths and hype, and presents the diet and training templates that will actually work for everyone, not just genetic freaks.

Bonus material is also included, such as recipes, FAQs and Supplementary Material in the form of his most popular articles.

This easily goes into my top ten recommended reading list, and I expect it to be one of the most influential and popular books of the year, perhaps decade.
