Does No Nonsense Muscle Building Make Sense for You?

By Caitlin Ryan

With all the muscle-building programs on the internet today, it can be difficult to choose which one will help you achieve the results YOU desire. You have to keep three factors in mind before you make that important purchase.

First you need to decide whether the muscle building program was designed by a reputable trainer. Second, you must make sure that the program is designed around proven techniques. And last but not least, you need to make sure that the program can be tailored to fit YOUR needs and YOUR lifestyle.

The developer of this no nonsense muscle building program is natural body builder Vince Delmonte. He has been training the average Joe (and Jane) as well as competitive athletes for years. He used his methods to transform his skinny body into the work of muscular art that it is today.

Co-author, Shannon Clark, is also a fitness expert as a highly recognized fitness writer and trainer. She also trains using the methods she and Vince developed and sports a very fit physique. She has a BPP in sports performance. She and Vince both help people transform bony bodies AND flabby bodies into gorgeous, sleek, toned perfection.

A key and proven element in bodybuilding is to use progressive overload. When you use this method as outlined in this no nonsense muscle-building program, you increase the amount of weight continuously in lifting. As Vince explains, this is necessary to challenge your muscles and build the muscle mass. This is the only way to achieve that cut, chiseled look OR the sensual curves that many women desire.

You also need to incorporate muscle recovery in your workout. Between workouts, you need to use Vince's nutritional advice as well as his secrets to speed up recovery. In between lifting sets, you need to allow proper recovery to avoid developing endurance muscle which are long and skinny and do not promote the athletic physique that you may want.

Vince disagrees with the majority of the bodybuilding industry in that he discourages the use of supplements to increase muscle mass. There is no supplement (whether it is a big tub of powder, a bottle of pills, or a liquid shake) that replaces adequate training and proper nutrition in building peak muscle mass.

Whether you are a beginner or a competitive body builder, this no nonsense muscle-building program addresses your needs and teaches you how to tailor the program to suit your needs and life. Because of the efficiency of the program, you can plan to spend less time in the gym than other programs to achieve the same or better results.

If you need motivation or tips on eating well, Vince and Shannon have provided many helpful tips and pointers in both of these areas. Eating clean is an important aspect of muscle building.

Surprisingly, supplement companies own many top fitness and muscle building magazines. You may be shocked to know this and many more myths and secrets of the fitness industry that Vince and Shannon have realized. - 16004
