Gironda...Legend and Myth by Alan Palmieri
is THE most complete and comprehensive writing on Vince
Gironda. Ever!
A must read for bodybuilders
of all generations. The "Iron Guru" was perhaps
at his pinnacle of fame during the "Golden Era"
of bodybuilding, the 60's. His methods, techniques, training,
and dietary principles are still employed today.
Vince's programs were known
for producing the fastest muscle building results in the
shortest period of time. This 300+ page book contains
some his best known training programs, his little known
training programs, some of his forgotten methods!

I WAS
the proverbial "98 lb weakling" getting sand kicked
in my face...
Now Learn How
MY Story of Muscle "Payback" Will
Put 10... 20... even 50 POUNDS
of Raw Muscle on YOU
While Totally Destroying Muscle Growth Plateaus...
50
lbs of muscle is the
difference between this...
And
THIS...
And yep, I know
EXACTLY how it feels to gain 50 lbs of muscle and go from skinny
to BUILT because that's ME (Nick Nilsson - a.k.a.
the "Mad Scientist of Exercise") in those pics above.
I was 17 years old in the picture on the left and 35 years old
in the picture on the right.
It took me 18 years of training to
get from Point A to Point B.
Which
is exactly why I'm JEALOUS of you...
I'm jealous because it's going to take YOU a whole lot
LESS time than that. You're going to learn the "mad
scientist" training secrets that got me from Point A (a
skinny, 5' 10" 145 lb cross-country runner) to Point B
(a lean, strong 5'
10" 195 lb "meathead")
and you're going to do it WAY
faster than I did.
And
you won't have to fight through all the useless GARBAGE that
didn't work for me when I was trying to build muscle.
So yeah, I'm jealous...
Now I want to tell you my
"payback" muscle story...
When I was 13 years
old, I started playing soccer on the men's team. I grew up in
a small town and we didn't have enough players for a youth soccer
team, so there I was...at the time, probably about 115 lbs soaking
wet...playing soccer with some really BIG guys.
To give you an idea,
where I'm orignally from in eastern British Columbia, Canada,
there are a lot mining towns and these guys love to play soccer.
A lot of these mine workers were BIG, tough guys who worked
tough, manual-labor jobs. They were built like brick "sh@#"
houses, if you know what I mean.
And here's me...115
lbs of skin and bones playing defense. Not exactly imposing
or intimidating to a 220 lb freight train roaring down the sideline
full steam :)
Luckily for me, I
had some good soccer skills and did pretty well but there were
times when I literally got sent FLYING through the air because
I didn't weigh a whole lot more than a piece of paper.
Hard to win anybody's
admiration when you're getting knocked around like that...I
loved playing soccer but it flat-out sucked getting
tossed around like I wan't even there. If you've ever played
soccer or basketball or especially a sport like football and
didn't have the physical size to back it up, you know EXACTLY
what I'm talking about.
You try and defend
against somebody and they just brush you out of the way...
You try and play
offense and everybody feels like they weigh a hundred pounds
more than you and you just bounce off no matter how hard you
try...
People look at you and all they see is that "skinny guy
over there"...
I've been there and yeah, it sucks.
That lasted all through
high school - I never got higher than 145 lbs, so I turned to
distance running. When I went to university, I started some
serious weight training (and EATING) and above all started
LEARNING about how to really build muscle...
Fast forward 1 year from
that
17 year old skinny kid...
Time
for a little PAYBACK...
I had just come back from my first year of university and had
gained oh, somewhere in the neighborhood of SEVENTY FIVE
POUNDS....
Did it totally DRUG-FREE
and with only BASIC supplements like protein and vitamins. Just
good, hard training and big eating.
I had discovered
some KILLER information on how to build muscle then I took MASSIVE
action and put it into practice BIG TIME. I literally devoured
every ounce of training knowledge I could find.
So there was a soccer
tournament going on and a lot of the same teams (and the same
guys) that I had played against when I was a skinny beanpole
were going to be playing in it.
Now these guys didn't
know me from anybody even while I WAS playing before. I was
just some skinny kid to be knocked out of the way when they
were trying to score a goal.
Not this time...
The game started
and I was playing center defense.
To
this very day, it makes me laugh out loud what happened
in those games.
The very same big
guys who used to knock me over like a bowling pin were COMPLAINING
TO THE REFEREE that I was knocking THEM off
the ball and that it wasn't fair!
Now I
was the 220 pound freight train, putting a shoulder into these
guys and sending THEM flying 5 yards down the field.
VEEEEERRRRRRYYYY satisfying... :)
So How Did I
Build Myself Up Like This? I'm
Going to Tell You EXACTLY How I Did It
and How YOU Can Do It, too...
And
I have to say, once you know the science behind this
stuff, it's not NEARLY as hard as you think it is to
gain muscle.
Not
even close.
You see, during my muscle-building research, I came to learn
the theory of "controlled overtraining."
Basically, it's the
idea that overtraining is not evil...just misunderstood...kinda
like the Green Bay Packers (hey, I live in the Chicago area
now so it's my duty to say those kinds of things... ;)
Overtraining is simply
what happens to your body when it gets faced with a workload
it's not accustomed to and can't fully adapt to it. It means
"too much training."
Now here's the thing...if
you stay FAR AWAY from overtraining, you'll NEVER know
the kind of muscle growth your body is truly capable of!
You could seriously be cheating yourself out of POUNDS of
muscle mass just by trying not to overtrain yourself.
So it's time to switch
your thinking and EMBRACE overtraining.
I've got an eye-opener for you, first...
I'm
going to tell you why MANY programs will FAIL and leave you SMALLER, WEAKER and DEPRESSED,
desperately scratching for ounces of
hard-earned muscle...
And
Guess What...It's NOT Your Fault!
With "normal" training programs that don't take your
body's response to workload into account, you'll get either
of two outcomes, neither of which is what you're looking for.
In the graph below,
you'll see two lines...the top graph line is "Too Much
Volume/Intensity." The bottom graph line is "Not Enough
Volume/Intensity." Both "normal" training programs
spend some time in the optimal training zone and both will get
you results for awhile...
In the top line, the problem happens when the program DOESN'T
PULL BACK. You hit overtraining and your body stops getting
results. The usual response? Add even MORE volume and/or intensity
to try and "shock" the muscles. Bad idea! This can
result in chronic overtraining and hitting a MAJOR plateau in
your training that could take you MONTHS to recover from.
In the bottom line,
the problem happens when your body adapts to the program and
you DON'T INCREASE volume or intensity...i.e. you keep doing
what you're doing. This is chronic UNDER-training and it'll
grind your results to a halt, too.
Now here's how "controlled overtraining" works
to literally FORCE muscle onto your body...
We're going to take the good parts of BOTH of those types of
programs and combine them into ONE program.
You start by gradually
increasing your workload, increasing your training volume (the
number of sets you do for each bodypart) and decreasing rest
periods between sets. Essentially, you're doing more and more
work in less and less time!
This is the "ramp
up" period (also known as "accumulation"),
with the training building up and demanding more and more of
your body than it's able to fully recover from.
Your body reacts
to this increase by trying to speed up and maximize the efficiency
of it's repair and recovery processes.
When you reach
the point where your body just can't keep up at all, that's
when you hit "overtraining"...normally considered
a bad thing, but to us a very GOOD thing...
That's our signal
to ease up and dramatically REDUCE the training volume,
doing fewer sets of fewer reps, with heavier weight and more
rest between sets. Basically, you're doing less work in more
time.
This is the "back
off" part of things (also known as "intensification")
and it's where the REAL growth and strength gains happen.
It's where your entire muscle growth and recovery system, forced
into metabolic overdrive, suddenly has only a FRACTION
of the training stress to deal with.
The muscle growth
and strength gains you'll see during this phase are almost MAGICAL.
The muscle practically PILES on you and your strength
will jump upwards in BIG chunks.
THAT is the effect
we're looking for and THAT is how to use overtraining to force
your body to build muscle. It's deadly stuff and your skinny
genes don't stand a chance!
Here's what it looks
like graphical form...the white area in the in middle is
the "optimal" zone for muscle growth. As you can
see, you're spending a LOT of time there with this style of
training. In fact, you're spending MOST of your time in that
zone!
Think of a car going up a hill with the gas pedal down. As you
come to the top, you've got the pedal floored but you're not
going very fast...you're overtraining the engine, to borrow
the term.
Now you go over the
top and start heading down the other side. If you keep that
pedal floored, you're going to start going VERY fast! Your body/engine
is no longer overtrained by the steep grade and it's still pushing
just as hard. Your results ACCELERATE just like the car.
THAT is the
power of this type of training.
You're going to systematically
push your body's gas pedal to the point where you have it floored
and aren't really going anywhere, then you're going to pull
back on the difficulty and let it ROAR forward. The results
you get from this type of overtraining and rebounding can be
just HUGE.
So that's my Mad Scientist Rule #1 and it's one
I learned early on... Rule #2 took me a bit
longer but it's JUST as powerful...
Honestly,
it's the REAL key to demolishing your
bad muscle genetics once and for all!
We've addressed your body as a system with the "controlled
overtraining" strategy...the other big factor you need
to fix in order to blow through your genetic "limits"
and build massive muscle is your physiology: your muscle fibers,
connective tissue, circulation, and nervous system, etc.
There are certain
aspects of your physiology that CAN be CHANGED with
targeted training...changed so that they can better support
muscle growth.
You are NOT stuck
with the hand nature dealt you when it comes to building muscle...I'd
be still stuck at 145 lbs if that was true.
With Rule #2, you're
going to be addressing (through training) four of the biggest
"high-impact" physiological aspects of your
body that CAN be changed with training.
Your "frame"
- bones and connective tissue.
Your "plumbing"
- circulatory system.
Your "electrical"
- nervous system.
Your "walls"
- muscle fascia.
If it sounds
like you're building a house, you're right on the money.
It's the best analogy I've found for what you have to
do to really set the stage for massive muscle growth
in your body, ESPECIALLY if you have a hard time building
muscle.
You're going
to be able to build a bigger, better house (i.e. muscle
mass) when the walls and beams are thicker and stronger
(bones and connective tissue), the plumbing is better (your
circulatory system) and your electrical system is more efficient
(your nervous system).
Now How Do You Put These Two
Rules Into A MASS Program?
Lucky for you, I did that
already :)
The training program I want
to introduce you to right now is called "Mad
Scientist Muscle" and it mashes BOTH
of these "Mad Scientist" rules into one KILLER
package.
It's the sum-total of the
BEST muscle-building strategies I've researched,
learned and innovated myself in all my 20+ years in the
gym, my 12+ years as a personal trainer and my 5 years
of univeristy education.
I've taken the incredibly
powerful "controlled overtraining" framework,
added in the "structural" training designed
to optimize your physiology and prepare your body for
muscle growth and I've worked in the most INSANELY effective
training techniques you'll ever experience.
First, you'll use
the structural training to set your body up, then you'll ramp
up the volume for three weeks, then you'll back off and let
the muscle and strength PILE on you. At the end of the cycle,
you'll do a planned "deload" where you strategically
take time completely off training, then you'll come back and
test your max so you know EXACTLY how much stronger you've gotten.
Two short months and you'll be in a whole
new LEAGUE of mass and strength.
Then you can move
directly on to one of the OTHER programs and start the mass
attack all over again where you can build on the results of
the first round and slap it on even MORE!
Sound interesting?
Check out what what this program has to offer...
1.
SCIENCE-Based Training
It's a comprehensive,
scientifically-based muscle-building STRATEGY
that leaves NOTHING to chance. Each and every phase of
this program is based on research-inspired, gym-proven
training principles designed to build larger, stronger
muscles.
2.
ZERO Guesswork
I've planned out EVERY
single set, rep, and exercise of EVERY workout of
each two-month block of training for you. You'll NEVER
have a workout where you don't know EXACTLY what to do.
This program is downright "paint-by-numbers"
easy to follow.
3.
Time-Efficient
You don't have to spend
your whole life in the gym to get big and strong.
It actually works better when you DON'T! All the
training sessions are designed to be completed in less
than an hour...rarely longer than 45 minutes...and done
just four times a week (and only on weekdays, leaving
your weekends free).
4.
Minimize Fat Gain
Who wants to get big and
get FAT, too? I've included a special dietary "tweak"
that will minimize fat gain while you're massing up.
This simple trick will keep fat in check AND give your
body a quick hormonal growth shot when you return to regular
eating.
5.
Works Great for Men AND
Women
Ladies, don't think for
a second this program isn't for you, too. I might talk
about building massive muscle but your female genetics
(and hormonal make-up!) won't allow for THAT kind of growth.
Train hard to build muscle and all that'll happen is you'll
look really, really HOT.

I've
got something else really cool to share with you here, too...I've
had a friend of mine working as a "guinea pig"
testing one of the programs in the book...
Here's what he wrote
to me a few days ago...
Nick,
Just thought
I'd let you know that I finished the first 4 weeks and
tested my 1 rep max for bench yesterday. I'm not sure
exactly where I was when I started but I'd say between
200 & 215. When I did it yesterday, I maxed out at
245 which is quite an improvement over what I was thinking.
I was hoping for 250 by xmas and it's still September!
As for putting
on the weight, I'm +4-5 pounds depending on the day but
still working on putting on some more weight.
Thanks again
for your help,
Steve
Scary thing, he's only in the
"ramping up" phase of the program where the body
is still struggling to recover. I can't WAIT to see what
he writes when he hits the part of the program where he REALLY
starts gaining muscle and strength.
And I can't WAIT
to read the email that YOU are going to write to ME
when you start seeing results like this, too!
Want even MORE proof?
I've personally
used this style of training program
to achieve physique results like THIS with my
ectomorph (naturally skinny) genetics...
And this muscle
is NOT all "show" and no "go"...
This is a video
of me doing a trap-bar
deadlift with 565 lbs...
Not trying to toot
my own horn but I think it's CRITICAL that you know that
the information you're getting is coming from someone who has
BEEN where you've been and achieved what you WANT to
achieve.
This is truly the kind of training program that can CHANGE the
way you look at muscle-building FOREVER. I know once
I unlocked the secret, I've never looked back. When I started
training, I considered myself a "hardgainer"...now,
I don't even BELIEVE in the word any more!
So I'm Going To Make it a TOTAL
NO-BRAINER
For You To Pick Up This Program...

If You Truly Want a SCIENCE-Based
Training System, Then THIS is the
Program You've Been Looking For...
The training concept
of Accumulation and Intensification is an accepted scientific
FACT...it's used every single day by top coaches and trainers
around the world because it WORKS and works RELIABLY. High-level
coaches training million-dollar athletes don't leave ANYTHING
to chance.
Your body is just
naturally programmed to respond to this type of loading and
unloading. We're working WITH nature, not against it and in
a meticulously PLANNED fashion, not a randomized collection
of parts.
From a "gut"
perspective (and probably from your experience with other programs!),
you know this type of approach just makes SENSE.
When you pick up
this program, you're going to get a gym-tested, proven SYSTEM
that's going to walk you through everything you need to know
to maximize your muscle and strength gains.
And all for a FRACTION
of the price you'd pay for one-on-one coaching from the caliber
of trainer who would actually know what they're doing with this
stuff! (You know I'm right about THAT!)
$129.95$99.95 $69.95
Every single
workout you do is an opportunity to improve yourself...whether
it be strength, muscle mass or fat-loss.
And every single
workout done with ineffective or haphazard training is
a BLOWN opportunity.
So if you're
happy with the training you're doing right now, by all
means, keep doing it...
And if your
training is delivering you continuous plateau-free gains
in muscle and strength, definitely keep doing it...
But if it's
NOT giving you the results you want and you're looking
for something more...something that will DELIVER the results
you want...NOW is the time to jump on this.
I
want you to take this opportunity to take ACTION
and build some SERIOUS muscle...just like
I did when I was 17 years old.
Naturally, you're
going to get out of it what you put into it, so DON'T just let
this one sit on your electronic shelf. READ IT and put it
to work for you.
Look, I have a full
60-day money-back guarantee on this program. The risk is all
on ME.
You risk NOTHING
and you have everything to gain...
