I first started blogging about fitness without any intention of making money. I just wanted to share some tips I’ve learned from over 20 years of training and studying the iron game.
But I eventually encountered some training programs that were actually worth promoting. I believe a diet and training program is the best investment you can make for reaching your fitness goals. I made the mistake of spending hundreds of dollars on supplements and only a fraction of that on information. I had it backwards, and I don’t want you to make the same mistake.
Just to be clear, I do make money when someone buys a program with the links from this blog. I think you’ll find what I endorse to be a good investment if you choose the program that matches your specific goals and needs.
I’m about to describe some of the products I currently endorse. But keep this in mind–there’s no such thing as one perfect diet/training approach. The best choice for you will depend on your own goals, the time you want to put in the gym, available equipment, etc.
You click here to email me if you have a question. I’ll try to help you find the best match for you–not necessarily the most expensive one.
Anyway, here are a few of my best sellers.
Programs for new trainees (beginners):
Muscle Gaining Secrets (by Jason Ferruggia) is the program I usually recommend to friends who are just getting started in the gym (or just returning after a long layoff). I like Ferruggia’s overall training style: keep things simple.
No Nonsense Muscle Building (by Vince Delmonte) is another very popular program for beginners. This one is more expensive if you choose all the options, but main advantage to Vince’s program is the video content.
Intermediate/Advanced Muscle-Building Programs
Minimalist Training is one of my favorite training manuals to date. This is a compilation of Ferruggia’s favorite routines (beginner, intermediate, and advanced).
MI40 Mass Intentions is a program created by Ben Pakulski. This is primarily a mass building program for intermediate or advanced trainees. The instructional videos are outstanding, and I think you’ll learn a great deal from watching them.
For Women
Flavia Del Monte’s Full-Body-Licious was created specifically for women. There’s a special emphasis on burning fat and targeting muscles/areas women are interested in training (hip, thighs, etc).
The Renegade Diet:
Jason Ferruggia’s Renegade Diet is a detailed outline to intermittent fasting. What I like about this diet is you can tweak it for either fat loss or building lean muscle.
Fat Loss Programs
Eat Stop Eat (Brad Pilon) is a fantastic resource on intermittent fasting for fat loss. His research is second to none, and this e-book may just change the way you think about dieting forever. The latest revision (5th edition) has made an outstanding product even better.
Turbulence Training (Craig Ballantyne) has been around for quite some time. This is the program I recommend for busy professionals who only want to train three times a week.
This list is not exhaustive–just some of the programs I usually recommend. Just email me if you have a question.
