Vince Delmonte and Muscle Building: A Scam or the Real Deal?

By Caitlin Ryan

Vince Delmonte is a fitness trainer and the co-author (along with Shannon Clark) of the No Nonsense Muscle Building program. There are plenty of reviews on this muscle-building program, some for and some against. If you have been working like a dog in the gym and are still sporting flabby arms and a soft stomach, you may want to read this review on Vince Delmonte to see if he will be a help or hindrance in your muscle building efforts.

It is important that a person who writes a muscle-building book is in shape. You probably would not take the advice of a flabby person or conversely a trainer who was skin and bones. Vince Delmonte is ripped and has a 10% body fat. The proof that his muscle-building program actually works is furthered by the fact that he does not use steroid, chemicals or numerous supplements to achieve his physique.

As a matter of fact, he gives a scalding review of top body building magazines revealing the fact that many are actually OWNED by supplement companies! The magazines are a merely a voice for advertisements. As well, Vince points out why their myriad of workout techniques has failed you and others who wanted to build their muscle mass and lower their body fat.

His book exposes muscle building myths that I have actually fallen prey to! I thought circuit training was a great way to get a toning workout in a short amount of time. Apparently, there is not enough recovery time in between sets and you fail to develop your muscles. That is only one of the MANY myths that I was surprised to learn.

Many women, like me, do NOT want to build huge muscles unless of course they are professional, competitive body builders. For this reason, I have always done high reps with low weights so I did not build mass. This is another myth exposed in the muscle-building program. You need progressive overload in order to develop toned muscles. This means that you have to continually increase your weight, but this does not mean that you will develop large muscles IF you follow No Nonsense Muscle Building.

The way I was lifting, I was only developing endurance muscles that were long and skinny. There is no way that I would ever have triceps muscles like Sarah Jessica Parker. I would not develop those sexy curves at the back of my arms.

This fabulous muscle-building guide also explains how important it is to give your body recovery time in between sets as well as in between workouts. You do not want to push yourself without this muscle recovery time, and Vince has some great advice on how you can speed up recovery time through nutrition and other clever tips.

Clever nutritional advice and highly motivational tips are abundant in Vinces book. Interesting thoughts on clean eating and utilizing your own hormones to maximize results are also part of the program. No Nonsense Muscle Building comes with 8-10 bonuses or more. - 16004
