ABOUT ME

Ive had a keen interest in weight training or bodybuilding for over 35 years and have experienced the pain, the failures, and the success in reaching my goals. I have learnt the hard way and made mistakes which set me back much further than I anticipated, but this taught me valuable lessons which improved my training and the associated diet.

From countless experiments I discovered the easier and quicker way. It was more cost effective and productive, with my results being the proof. I soon realised that I was making my weight training more complicated than necessary, or should be, if only I knew then what I know now, things would have been far less frustrating, and cheaper.

I have no degree in nutrition and I hold no certificates in weight training or bodybuilding, what knowledge I have is my own, and its a lot, over 35 years of training, experimenting with exercises and pushing my body to extremes to get the formula which I perfected to succeed in my goals. I discovered what works best with my diet and training combined, and its this knowledge I want to pass on to others to make things easier to make the muscle growth progression quick and successful.

Ive trained the natural way, at times it was tempting to go down the steroid route, but I knew this wasnt for me, I was patient and understood the complications and dangers with steroids. I saw the downsides of steroids from friends that used them, it became obvious to me that training naturally was my better option. Huge muscular guys or pro bodybuilders are in a different league, it has never been any ambition of mine to be the next Mr Universe. I understood what I was trying to achieve which was to be stronger, fitter, healthier, and more muscular than what I originally was, I knew what my realistic goals were.

Things have changed dramatically over the years especially in the supplement market and the advice can be confusing, daunting, and expensive, I have always used supplements but its getting it right first time, it can be costly if you get it wrong, it can also set you back months, so Ill tell you the only supplements youll need and that actually work.

Currently I train at a maintenance level which came after my years of training at the intermediate level. This book is dedicated to the beginners level, and for those that exercise at home.

I am happy and content with my body now, weight training means as much to me now as it did when I was 14. I cannot imagine life without my weights, I enjoy my weight training as much as ever, I look forward to my training today, I also cant wait until my training tomorrow.

When people said, We never want to look like you, Arnold replied, Dont worry, you never will.

INTRODUCTION

This book is intended for beginners at any age, men, and women, large or thin (fat or skinny if you prefer) and general keep fitters who are stuck and want to improve their strength and muscle definition. This book is not for experienced trainers, or for anyone on the road to becoming the next Mr or Miss Universe.

I appreciate that some people may be on a tight budget, have minimal time and minimal knowledge, but this is not a problem, in fact you could easily build strength by picking up rocks. As long as you have a keen desire to strengthen your body and enhance your muscles you can still be successful with your realistic dreams. Weight training will also improve your whole health and wellbeing.

If you dont like gyms, find it hard to get to one, or simply cannot afford them, then this book will help guide you in the way that I know best using basic equipment and a balanced affordable diet, all from your own home.

You will learn how to strengthen and grow muscles efficiently and safely. I will explain in the easiest way I can so that you can start immediately on your quest to re-shape your body. I will show you how and when to train, what your diet should be and what supplements you need. You will discover all the benefits that weight training adds to your life, it will alter your mind as well as your body, you will see your life change for the better as you become healthier and stronger.

Lets face it, we would all want a fantastic body in just a few weeks, some people believe this is possible, but what is a realistic time for those on a budget, or for those who dont have much time? If you have the dedication and willpower to succeed at a cost of hard work, dedication, and patience, only then do you reap the benefits. After 10 weeks of a strict training program, and keeping to the appropriate diet, results are easy visible.

Home trainer - a person who trains at home in the bedroom, the garage, spare room, or outbuilding, wherever you find your private space to train, this book will guide you. You will be a casual weight or strength trainer not a hardcore bodybuilder, but youll still have strength and muscles better than before, you will look and feel great, your posture will improve, and your mind will have a more confident, positive approach to everything, you will ultimately feel better in body and mind.

It has been proven that weight training leads to a healthy life, it strengthens muscles, bones, and joints, it improves mental health, it helps obesity and can calm stress. There are so many more advantages to weight training, its no wonder more and more people are now lifting weights to gain these benefits.

It seems to be fashionable now for men and women to get a great body in a noticeably short time, cheaply and with little effort. The little effort method sometimes encourages the use of steroids, not knowing or taking into consideration the associated health risks now or later in life.

Ill show you that the natural method to building a great body is the only way, the best way, and the healthiest way. Ill teach you the natural approach, no drugs or steroids, but a natural good diet, good workout routines with weights (resistance) rest and the use of natural supplements, all purely designed to build muscles (Dietary or nutritional supplements include any consumed products that supplement the diet and improve additional nutrients, vitamins and minerals) .

Access to videos online which will help in showing you the correct exercise movements is vital, this was valuable to me as it describes each exercise in complete proper form. Performing each exercise correctly is especially important and is called proper form. Lifting weights incorrectly can be disastrous, time wasting and produces zero muscle growth as well as a possible injury.

Hard work really pays, so be prepared, with patience and a good understanding of weight training you will succeed in a short time. Your goal is to alter your body at a safe and sensible healthy level, Ill make it as short and as easy as I possibly can and explain how to achieve your goals from your home with minimal equipment and minimal cost in the shortest time realistically possible. For just the price of this book, let me assist you in reaching your goals.
