Why I got sick And Tired Of Looking For Free weight Lifting Routines Online and Found A Muscle Building Workout Program That Works….”
Hey everyone, Max here.
Weight Training
If you’re looking for a bodybuilding routine to take off some fat from your body and build up your muscle mass, I’m sure you’ll find out that it’s very, very easy to find muscle gaining programs. There are lots of sources out there: forums devoted to muscle building, health and fitness magazines, random blogs, whatever. I should know; I’ve been on the search for workout programs some time ago. I hope you’re ready for this news flash though.
While it’s very easy to look for workout routines to gain muscle, almost all of them don’t work, or they work only for specific people. What’s probably going to happen to you is that you try some program or other, you get excited, but after a few months find that nothing’s happening. So then you switch to another muscle building program, and another, and before you know it you’ve spent a whole lot of money and time jumping from program to program without getting good results. 
I sound pretty much like I know all that, because I do. I went through all that. I started out really lanky, like pushing 165lbs at 6’5”. When I made up my mind to try and build some muscle, I spent months pretty much living the experience I said above. That’s months of buying magazines, running around, trying this workout routine or that, taking protein, those kinds of things.
Here’s an example of a weekly weight lifting routine that I tried on some forum for about 6 months, to little success:
Monday – Chest and Triceps
Flat Bench Press – 4 sets
Dumbbell Flyes – 2 sets
Dips – 3 sets
Cable Press Downs – 2 sets
Incline Dumbbell Press – 3 sets
Tuesday – Back and Biceps
Pull-ups – 4 sets
Barbell Curls – 3 sets
Seated Cable Row – 3 sets
Bent Over Barbell Row – 3 sets
Seated Dumbbell Curls – 2 sets
Wednesday – Take a day off
Thursday – Shoulders, Trapezoids and Abs
Seated Barbell Press – 4 sets
Single-Arm Lateral Raises – 3 sets
Weighted Crunches and Hanging Leg Raises
Barbell Shrugs – 4 sets
Friday – Legs
Squats – 4 sets
Leg Press – 3 sets
Stiff Legged Leg lifts – 3 sets
Leg Curls – 2 sets
Standing Calf Raises – 5 sets
Saturday and Sunday – Enjoyed The Weekend (2 days) off 
That was about the last routine I followed for 6 months, and I did make some small success, but the amount of time involved was just way too long compared to the results I got. I looked for more stuff, and I guess I now know that random muscle workout programs don’t match up to a proven bodybuilding program, that works for exactly your situation, that’s been recommended by quite a number of people you know. I just wanted something I won’t discard after a few months.
The last muscle gaining workout program I tried was titled Muscle Gaining Secrets, written by Jason Ferruggia. I say “last” because it’s still the program I use up to now, and it’s the one I’ve had the most results with.
So What’s It About?
Weight Lifting Program
The book Muscle Gaining Secrets is geared for skinny guys to help put on muscle, so they can get big and packed. From the start I saw that the book fits my body type, so I was intrigued to pick it up. Also Jason Ferruggia is not just somebody; Jason is a top strength conditioning coach, and he’s been in a lot of features, like Men’s Health, ESPN, FOX, etc.
Muscle Gaining Secrets is a 197-page book, explains in detail how to fix your diet, what workout routines you should be doing, and how much of it you should be doing. The workout routines are described using pictures – a whole LOT of pictures, and you can easily check to see if you’re doing the exercises correctly.

At first glance, at least for the complete beginner, it seemed like any other free workout training routine you’d find on the Internet. But I did pay for it, I tried it for about 6 months, and, well I DID say it was the last program I tried right?
There are also a lot of bonuses included in the ebook. Here’s the list:
-
- A manual of Maximum Mass in Minimum Time
- A 60-minute audio recording of Jason Ferruggia, where he talks about more secrets to gaining muscle mass
- Exercise manual, for you to correctly perform perfect the exercises
- Composition tracker
- Meal plans for every level of daily calorie intake (from 2000-6000 calories). 6000 calories, yes, because you’re skinny and need to bulk up! Here’s a sample of a day by day eating schedule
- A free subscription to Jason’s private online forums. Here you can ask questions from Jason himself or his staff, and they’ll answer you pretty quickly

Personal Observations
My copy of Muscle Gaining Secrets is an ebook, and there could have been better ways of presenting some of the material in it. For starters, I would have liked it better if there were clickable links to video presentations, because some of those exercises can’t be really described in just a few pictures to a beginner.
Anyway, there are still a lot of great things about the book, and I liked every single one of them.
First, you work out only 3x a week. That’s great because hey, I can’t be in the gym everyday (I do have a life, you know). Also since I was doing primarily compound lifting routines, I really didn’t need to be going to the gym everyday.
The book focuses more on compound lifts like deadlifts. It’s basically more efficient than simple lifts like curls, which only work one muscle group. Simple one-muscle lifts are boring, and don’t work for lanky guys, and as I said compound lifts make you spend less time at the gym.
One of the most important parts of the book, especially for skinny guys, is learning how to bulk up correctly, and therefore the nutritional aspects should be great (and it is). The food guide talks about how to eat large amounts of calories that would be helpful in packing muscle into your body (sure you can eat 6000 calories of potato chips a day, but that won’t really get you anywhere).
Muscle Gaining Secrets was also great in the sense that I was an experienced lifter (after all, I’ve spent a lot of time trying failed workout programs), but that it also caters to beginners and intermediate lifters. If you’re finished with the beginners’ program just jump up to the next level. By the way all those levels are connected, so you don’t have a clean break with the lower levels, and it ensures getting efficiency in packing muscle.

Muscle Gaining Secrets costs $77, has a 100% money-back guarantee, refundable in 48 hours if for some reason you don’t like the ebook. I shouldn’t be emphasizing this, though, because from my experience, I can pretty much guarantee nobody’s going use the money-back guarantee, it’s that awesome.

The Verdict
So after all the free workout programs, after all that time ad money spent, I was just happy to have finished looking for something that works. Jason Ferruggia’s Muscle Gaining Secrets was that solution. Now I weigh 200lbs (starting from 165lbs, remember), I feel ripped and rolling, it didn’t take a whole lot of time to produce the results I had, and there was a money-back guarantee as a safety net.
I hope this review is helpful is to you, whoever you are, even if you’re a skinny dude or just a normal guy who wants to bulk up, get ripped and put on several pounds of muscle.
