Andrew Cunningham Develops Ripped Abs With MuscleNOW!

Before: After:

It’s just absolutely amazing how fast my body’s changed since starting with musclenow. I have just started on my 3rd cycle so that means I’ve been doing it now for around 13 weeks. If you look at my pictures which were taken right before I started and now, you can see the difference. I’ve been working out off and on (more off though) for about 8-10 years. Ever since starting lifting weights, I’ve always been told that I just should eat healthy food and eat more than usual so that way it sustains muscle so then I can build more muscle. Also, I’ve been under the misconception that there’s no real need to worry about fat much as long as I work hard in the gym because that’ll burn it off and PLUS..muscle eats fat so that will be taken care of with time. Well, learning and using this program sure changed all of that thinking! I’ve realized just how important it is to eat the right things, when, and how much. All of these factors play important roles. Francesco’s book has taught me how to do it all. Mind you, I NEVER knew anything about looking at food labels and measuring my meals or any of that before starting this program. It’s taken time and practice. Now, I’ve gotten much better. Francesco has been there every step of the way for me. Most every time I email him for something, I get a reply the next day. Not only has he helped me in the muscle building and fat loss areas which is his job, he’s gone further to explain how I should avoid lots of different food that I would have never known to avoid for reasons such as it’s cancer causing. He hasn’t had to do that seeing as there are quite a lot of things out there to eat and it will help build muscle however, it’s not good for health. I was working out pretty hard core for about 8 months before getting this program. I did increase in my strength on my workouts but I also got fat and you couldn’t really see any of my muscle. Using this program, I’ve changed all that. I see guys in the gym working out pushing an enormous amount of weight but they look like fat couch potatoes! If I saw them outside of the gym I would never imagine in a million years that they’ve ever even seen a gym. I used to wonder when I saw them why they don’t look better than they do. Well, now I know. They’re not using a program like this to change the way they look. This program will transform you!!

An Update From Andrew

Dear Francesco,

I hope you're doing well lately. I would like to tell you that life has taken me to start my own business as a publisher of a health newspaper here in Hong Kong. I bought the franchise from California and am operating here now. I would have never done any of this without your MuscleNOW program! I've gotten my brother in Florida onto the program and it seems that he really likes it as well.

P.S. - I have enclosed my best muscle pic taken in Boracay, Philippines. Feel free to throw it on the site if you want.

Amazing Muscle Building & Fat Loss Story That Will Inspire You!

Hi Francesco, I just wanted to thank you...

About three and a half years ago, I had nothing going for me, I failed out of a nationally ranked and renowned college, loved drinking, and ate whatever and whenever I wanted, and took up smoking to relieve stress...I was 5'6", and a very sloppy 210 lbs...unhappy and depressed from my current situtation, I knew I needed something to help boost my self esteem and my life, because if not, I was going to hit rock bottom, and it woudn't have been pretty...it was then that I accidently stumbled your MuscleNow website, and immediately orderer your book...it provided the backbone, information, and motivation I needed to lose just about 50 lbs of unwanted fat in about 7 months...I started looking better, feeling amazing, and surprisingly the way people treated me even changed drastically (its sad that people base so much on looks, but its true)...I went from a sloppy 210, to a decently toned 162...

Now, I have incorporated your basic bodybuilding principles to my life, and I am actually on my way up...I'm working toward my bachelors degree in communications, and I am a certified personal trainer at a local health center (a very respected one in the area at that) and love what I do...After I lost that weight, I went from a slim and slender 162 lbs. to a presently solid 225 lbs (still at 5'6")...and this was done naturally, which is the best part...I've been putting on weight so fast that people accuse me of being a "user" all the time...

I just wanted to let you know that you have changed my life, and im very greatful that there are people out there like you...

Thank you again.

An Update From Christopher

Hey Francesco, its Chris from Jersey. I hope all is well with you. I just wanted you to know that I finally did that Bodybuilding show that I was telling you about. Here are a few pictures. It's funny...you don't realize how much blood, sweat, and tears go into contest prep until you actually compete in a show. I placed 4th in my weight class, and had a blast. I'm definitely going to do it again.

As for an update on the rest of my life...I managed to get my Associates Degree in Television Production, and I have recently been offered a Fulltime position working for a television and feature film post production facility in Midtown Manhattan (NYC). I owe my dedication to reaching goals in my life to the simple principles I learned from Bodybuilding. And I owe my interest in Bodybuilding to you and your book.

Thanks again.

Another Update From Christopher

Hows it going? I'm doing well myself. I just wanted to give you a shout and an update on whats been going on with me. I decided a few months back to do another show, so I dieted and trained for 12 weeks, and dropped about 40 lbs. I Started at 215, and weighed in on November 1, 2008 at 174.5 (just made middle weight!) I placed 5th of 7 competitors in my weight class (although I feel like I should have placed higher.) But I was happy with how I looked, because I know that I did all I could to reach that condition. I didn't cheat on my diet once, and didn't miss a workout. To me, if you do that, the rest is out of you hands.

I'll have you know that I still get emails from potential clients of yours asking what I think about your program. And I always speak very highly of it seeing how I owe my personal bodybuilding success to you and your program, and I also know that the bodybuilding mentality that was sparked from reading MuscleNow contributed to my personal success in life!

Hope all is well, and God Bless!

A Third Update From Christopher

Hey Francesco,

Just another update from New Jersey. The pre pics were taken about 7 months after my knee reconstruction surgery, and the post pics were taken after a 6 week period. Just about a year ago, (3 weeks after my last competition) I blew out my knee, and needed reconstructive surgery. Although I went to the gym after surgery, I could not put up the weight numbers that I used to, and put on a few lbs. do to the lack of mobility, etc. I decided to get in shape again, and using the MuscleNOW workout, and food list from the program i transformed my body in 6 short weeks. I did not however follow the diet plan exactly. I modified it as I saw fit, and listened to my body. And cardio was not on a set schedule either. I just did it a few times per week. Other than that I think the program speaks for itself.

Hardgainer Finally Achieves Results
With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I just wanted to thank you for an amazing program that has changed my life. I was introduced to Musclenow by a good friend of mine who is also found on this site. Before Musclenow I was as confused as anyone else on training techniques, nutrition, and supplements. I had spent countless hours in the gym trying to get results. Musclenow has given me the knowledge of proper techniques and nutrition that have gotten me to where I am today and where I'll be in the future. Proper nutrition combined with proper lifting techniques is the formula for success. I was always a hard-gainer growing up...always worked out but just couldn't pack on any muscle. The diet and training techniques in Musclenow helped me to learn how to get over that and pack on good lean muscle. I'm glad I have the knowledge Musclenow offers because I'm no longer an easy target for supplement pushers. Anyone who buys this program...it's the best money you'll ever spend. Have faith and follow the program.

Thanks Francesco!!!

Craig Loses 40 Pounds and Nearly 8 Inches Of Stomach Fat!

Before: After:

After ten years of working out regularly and seeing less than satisfactory results, I spent three and half years devoting little time to fitness and put on fifty pounds of fat. I had tried spending two hours a day in the gym, several different bodybuilding diets, and countless bodybuilding supplements that promised to help me reach my muscle building goals. While I saw modest results from my efforts, I didn't feel that the return was adequate for the amount of time, money, and effort I was spending to achieve my desired physical improvements.

I eventually become disgusted with the amount of body fat that I had gained and decided to give body building another shot. I decided to count calories as a way to lose fat. While I did actually lose about 30 pounds, I lost quite a bit of muscle in the process as well due to a lack of nutrition. I was searching the internet for a way to get back on track with gaining muscle while not putting on too much fat in the process. I stumbled upon MuscleNow and after seeing the testimonials paired with the 90 day money back guarantee, I decided that I had nothing to lose and purchased the system.

It took me about 2 days to read through the entire program. Everything is explained in a common sense fashion and can be understood by people looking to begin changing their bodies. While I had to make some changes in my schedule, the changes weren't overwhelming and after two weeks, I was following the workout plan and bodybuilding diet with ease. While the program offers a fat loss and muscle building phase, I decided to follow the fat loss program since I still had some unwanted body fat that I wanted to get rid of.

The results were incredible even after the first week. I lost a half of an inch of off my waist after just the first week! After following the fat loss phase for 9 weeks, I have lost 5 inches from my waist and can finally show off the six pack that I haven't had in over 6 years. If you would have told me that such incredible results could be gained in just 9 weeks, I would have thought that you were crazy. I achieved better results in 9 weeks than what I had achieved over the past year of weight training and following a bodybuilding diet. If the muscle building phase works as effectively as the fat loss, I can't wait to see the transformation that will take place in a few weeks when I switch to muscle building.

After these 9 weeks, I have received compliments from all of my friends and family and have even gotten paid from MuscleNow for friends that purchased the system because of the results that they noticed on my body. This system is the real deal and I can't recommend purchasing it enough. The price of this program is a bargain to achieve the kind of life changing results that you will undoubtedly see if you follow the system as it is described. Thank you Francesco for taking out all of the guess work and providing a system that really works...fast!

I have attached pictures of my progress over the past nine weeks. I will be sure to send updates as I continue to transform my body using MuscleNow.

Thank you for the encouragement and for the incredibly effective system that you have provided. I will be sure to include Greg on all email correspondences regarding referrals. Thanks again and God Bless.

An Update From Craig

Francesco,

After not even one year on your program I have increased my strength on all lifts by at least 50% and have lost over 13% body fat! MuscleNow is continuing to transform my body and has changed my life. I am more confident in all areas of life because of the success I have been able to achieve using MuscleNow. It is awesome to see how so many people are amazed at the results that I have acheived. Just look at the definition in my abs and obliques! What is also incredible is that I have gained over 10 pounds of muscle mass to go along with the 13% decrease in body fat. I cannot recommend this program enough. For anyone looking to transform their body, MuscleNow will get you the results you have always wanted. Thank you for all of your assistance throughout the past months Francesco; I couldn't have transformed my body without your help.

My statistics are as follows:

Beginning Weight: 215lbs
Current Weight: 175lbs
Beginning Waist Measurement: 39.25"
Current Waist Measurement: 31.50"

I also want to note that these numbers do not fully do justice to my progress because I spent about 4 months on muscle building where I neglected my cardio (I now realize that was a huge mistake) and increased my caloric intake much too fast which put my measurements back where I had started after I had dropped 25lbs and lost 5 inches on my waist. So in reality, over the past year I actually lost a total of 65 pounds and 12.75 inches from my waist - all while dramitically increasing my strength. I hope this helps and I will continue to provide transformation updates. It is the least that I can do for you after you have provided me with a system that actually works after spending many years of much effort in the gym with little rewards.

I will continue to keep you updated on my physical transformation progress. Thanks again and may God Bless you for dedicating your life to helping others live a more healthy and fit life!

Thomas Jones Loses 85 Pounds and
Over 14 Inches Of Stomach Fat
With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I want to say thanks for the MuscleNow program. This is actually my second time around with MuscleNow. As you can see in the first picture I had let myself go. I am 5’6” and at the time I was 240lbs with a 46” waist. I actually thought that I “wore” the weight well (self denial). At this particular time I was taking Muscle Milk (banana flavor) and thought that I was muscular (aka power lifter). I often found it hard to find clothes (at 46” waist with a 30” inseam). My ankles were always stiff and sore. I couldn’t walk a city block to save my life. I purchased the FatVanish for my fiancée (whom has also gotten great results) and decided to start back on the MuscleNow track. I will admit that it wasn’t easy. If weight loss was easy everyone would be skinny. You have to go 100% in the gym. You have to buy into the MuscleNow program 100% also. If you give the MuscleNow program anything less you will not see astonishing results. I want to thank my brother Phil (uses MuscleNow also) whom I talked to before starting (for inspiration) because I felt I was too far gone (aka FAT).

I feel great. I walk around with my head up. My confidence is through the roof. I’ve been able to shop in the “normal” sections of department stores vice Big and Tall shops. I still have a couple of Fat loss and Muscle Building phases to go. From there I will enter the maintenance phase (more pictures to follow). Keep in mind that I did have Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I also went on vacation (good food). I also attended my fiancées company Christmas party (good food). In spite of that I went 100% in the gym and still lost weight/fat. FRANCESCO’S PROGRAMS (FATVANISH AND MUSCLENOW) WORK!! Here are the measurements that accompany my picture:

Before (14Jul08) = 240lbs/46”waist
After (10May09)= 155lbs/31 6/8” waist

I do have to give you alot of the credit. You made it possible for average Joe's to become healthy. You did it without expensive gimmicks, gadgets or supplements. You came up with the programs and made them available for a very cheap price. I've personally had alot of trainer's in my life (spending about $200 apiece) and have never gotten the gains in strength, health, and most importantly pride that I have with your programs. I would be honored for you to post my email address under my testimonial so that I can let people now that you are the REAL deal. Thank you my friend.

An Update From Thomas

I just finished a Muscle Gain stage. I feel great. Still making progress. I still have a little ways to go. I can't thank you enough for what you have done to help me live healthier and happier (self-esteem). More pics to follow.

Another Update From Thomas

Francesco, How are things going? I've been doing great. I'm still getting compliments from the appearance changes that I've achieved with MuscleNow. Attached is a picture of me after the Muscle Building Phase (04Jul09). My measurements are wght: 165lbs waist: 33.5 Bodyfat: 7%. The last photo you have of me I was 155lbs with a 31 6/8 waist. I look pretty much the same but my chest and arms are bigger. You are correct (in MuscleNow you addressed this) once you get by the paranoia of gaining a little weight you will achieve more results. I've made incredible gains of strength in the gym. I'm lifting more (with form) weight than I thought I ever could. Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you once again.

Frank Terescavage Gains 55 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Hello Francesco,

I just wanted to let you know i think your program is awesome. First off when I ordered your program I was very skeptical, as I have tried numerous programs before yours all with very minimal success. I figured I would give yours a try expecting the same lackluster results but boy was I wrong. I even emailed you a couple times with questions and you were very supportive and very prompt with your responses. I honestly must say this was one of the best purchases I have made in my life since your information is so valuable and vital to anyone trying to enhance their body, and this book is the best on the subject i have ever read. Before using your program I realized I wasn't eating properly and your book put a fix on that real quick! MuscleNOW has changed my life entirely, and I truly hope others that are just as skeptical as I was take a chance and order your book, as I GUARANTEE they will NOT regret their decision. After staring your program and reading all the info about diet I could see my body transforming weekly and it is such an awesome and satisfying feeling, I was getting more ripped, stronger, and after awhile when people saw the gains I was making accused me of taking steroids which I have never done. When I began your program I was 6"1 and a measly 140 pounds but after just 2.5 years on your program I weighed in at a "ripped" 195 pounds and the results are so satisfying to me you have no idea. I hope anyone thinking about ordering this program just goes for it, as they will not be sorry.

Kris Khera Gains 45 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

I want to thank you again for all your help, it has really done a lot for me. I used your program for about a couple months and noticed some pretty good improvements. Once I found the right amount of calories to take in daily, my body responded very quickly. But then I had to take a month off for finals, spring break, and to make sure my schedule was fixed. By doing this, I lost 8 lbs!!! After this, I went back to the gym with a vengeance and regained the lost 8 lbs, plus added on another new 8 lbs of muscle in a little less than a month!!! I am the heaviest I've ever been at 158 lbs. For the longest time I could not tip the scale over 148, but your program changed that pretty easily. There are some guys that have worked out consistently which I looked up to before, now it seems like it's the other way around. People have been asking me what I've done to make such improvements. I tell them a little and if they are interested, I give them your website to look at. The other day, I went into the gym to do squats, but there was already a guy using the only squat rack, so I decided to do leg press instead (which I don't like as much, it's not as good of an exercise). Anyway, I easily did five reps of 600 lbs (which is a lot for me). I am two plates away from leg curling the whole stack on the leg curl machine we have in our gym. My bench has gone from 135 to 175 in the last month (some being muscle memory, but it still impresses people when I tell them). I know it's not that much weight, but for ME and my body type, it is.

An Update From Kris

I have been doing well. I have been sticking to your program for a little over five months straight and have gained about thirty-five pounds!!!

Another Update From Kris

It has been a long time since I have e-mailed you. I wanted to update you on my progress. I have been doing your program for a long time now. Here is a description of where I have come from:

Before
Height: 5'11.5"
Weight: 143 pounds
Chest: 35.5 inches
Arms: 13 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Thighs: 20 inches
Bench Press: 135 pounds
Leg Press: 200 Pounds
Deadlift: 135 pounds

After
Height: 5'11.5"
Weight: 188 pounds
Chest: 45 inches
Arms: 16.25 inches
Waist: 32 inches
Thighs: 23 inches
Bench Press: 235 pounds
Leg Press: 900 pounds!
Deadlift: 315 pounds

I know I could have gained a lot more weight and strength in a shorter time, but I didn't want to eat anymore than I was already eating (I have a really fast metabolism). I am happy with where I'm at, I am going to increase my caloric intake again to try to get my weight up to 205 or 210, though. It is amazing how fast the gains come when you are willing to put in the effort to eat like a horse. Within the first three months I gained thirty lbs. and started gaining slower because I didn't want to eat that much more. Who knows, if I really wanted to, I could be around 230 now! I never thought I would weigh more than 150. It's hard to believe I am close to 200 lbs. A bunch of people I know have shown a genuine interest in my gains, so I referred them to your site.

I have gotten COUNTLESS compliments from people who know me from the gym or school or church. I have a few pictures I have been meaning to send, but my scanner has been broken for almost a year now (don't hate me). The pictures are before and after pictures of me at 143 lbs and 175 lbs. So, the after pictures aren't recent now. The after pictures were before any calorie cuts, so I am holding a little more water weight than desired, but they are still impressive. I will try to find a way to send them to you as I know they will help you out a lot.

A Third Update From Kris

I have gained another 1/4 inch on my arms since my last email to you 8 days ago. I have something else to tell you. When going from 143 to 165, I didn't use any supplements. When going from 165 to 188, I tried creatine off and on to see if it had any effect. Since I gained just as much without it, I have concluded it does little if anything to help gain useful weight. I wanted to tell you this to be completely up front, but I do not think it's a big deal. I didn't want to mislead you. I will continue to use what I have left just because I spent my money on it and it has complex carbs in it that I count in my post workout meal (the rest of the carbs in this meal are natural sugars). After the product is gone, I will not use it anymore. I will prove it useless by gaining more weight when done using it. In the end, most of my gains will be free from the interference of supplementation to prove them unnecessary. These natural gains will be before and after the use of supplementation to show that supplementation was not necessary at all. Sorry for falling victim to the advertising out there supporting these supplements. I guess we both have fallen prey to them, it's hard for me to accept that I still fell prey to them even after reading and understanding your program.

Advanced Bodybuilder Darren Wardle Breaks His Plateau By Gaining 13 pounds In Two Months With MuscleNOW!

Hi there, my name is Darren, from Sydney, Australia.

Just thought I would let you know that the MuscleNow course is fantastic.

At 32 years old, I have been training quite seriously for over ten years and thought I had pretty much reached the end of my development at 94kgs and quite lean. After two months on your program I have cracked the magic 100kg mark, which was a goal of mine, and still quite lean.

I felt like I have wasted many years training by not having this program. I have never been stronger or so enthusiastic about my workouts (the week 5 sessions are bloody tough though!)

This is the only way to train. All other methods just dont make sense to me anymore.

Well done and best wishes

Diego Munoz Gains 30 Pounds, 8.5 Inches On His Chest and 4 Inches On His Arms With MuscleNOW!

My name is Diego Munoz and Im 19 years old. Im 5' 6" and my starting wieght was 130 pounds, my arms were 10" and my chest was 28" and Ive been on musclenow for a few months now. I started training a little under a year ago without any Idea of what I was doing. I tried a bunch of stuff that people from my gym suggested without any real muscle gains. I even got myself a trainer, who told me it was only possible to gain 12 pounds of muscle a year! As soon as I got the course I started right away and followed it exactly never questioned any part of it. Right away I saw results Im talking in days not months, I was blown away. You quickly gain momentum when youre growing and the really incredible part is it doesnt stop as long as you stay consistant. I started at disgusting 130 pounds very very skinny I could rest my arms on my hips T_T with a 28" chest and 10" arms and i always thought of myself as a hardgainer. With Musclenow I found out thats all rubbish! My arms have gone from 10" to 14" my chest exploded from 28" to 36 1/2" and the most incredible part is I now weigh 160 pounds all in muscle which blows my mind because I was told from a profesional that i would only see a 12 pound gain in a year of consistant body building. The best part that comes with the musclenow course is just the amount of compliements I get from my friends and family about the transformation of my body which makes every drip of sweat and last exhausting set and rep worth it. This program is amazing plain and simple gives you all the knowledge you will ever need to know to gain muscle so it worth every penny!

I keep getting comments from friends and family members that my arms are huge compared to what they were almost 2 weeks ago. I'm getting to the point where clothes are fitting anymore. I thought results like these took years to acomplish and I have yet to take measurements to see if I need to raise my calorie intake. Your advise is changing my life! THANK YOU!

Ill email more updates on my progress! Thanks Francesco!!!!

An Update From Diego

Hey francesco, i just wanted to tell you how thankful I'am for your program and the additional help you have given me. I still see results constantly, without your program and help, I wouldn't be where I'am today. I constantly get asked if I'm taking supplements if they only knew that dieting correctly could bring them unimaginable results at a insane rate. Ill be writing a update testimonial as soon as I start cutting. Thanks for all the help.

To Mr. Castano,

I have continued to read your Musclenow course and the results are amazing. I have been working out now for about 40 days and have gained about 17-18 pounds since. And the best part is that I did not gain any substantial amount of fat in the areas that I was afraid I would gain (legs, butt)!

Thank you very much for all your help and again, this program has already brought me extraordinary results!

Former "Hardgainer" Blake Saunders Gains 30 Pounds Read His Amazing Bodybuilding Journey

Hi Mr. Castano,

I started lifting when I was 17 in my last year of high school. I started out lifting 6 days a week and I gained a tiny bit of muscle and strength in the very beginning while on creatine. After gaining a little bit in the beginning my gains stopped, however I did not stop lifting. I am a very determined person. Among my friends who know me best, I am known for that. In my entire life I have been a perfectionist and accomplished a lot of goals. I have lived by the code that determination and perseverance are omnipotent. I am not someone who tries anything half-heartedly if it is something I'm interested in. In spite of all this, weightlifting is something that I've had an exceedingly hard time with.

Even though I was gaining NO muscle or strength I continued to lift for 6 days a week for an entire year. I was hell-bent on gaining muscle. I kept thinking that maybe this is just how slow gains come and maybe you take a small step forward every six months or so. I kept on lifting thinking what I was doing was right and I felt that it was still worth it no matter how slowly gains came. After a little over a year I began trying some other things. I want to list as many of the programs I can remember so people will see how much I have to compare this to. I won't be able to remember all of them.

One of the first things I tried was doing a cycle where for 4 weeks you do a certain rep amount and then you change it for a second and third set of 4 weeks making it a 12 week program. I got nothing from this. I tried a 5 day a week one where you train each body part once a week. I tried what that steroid user Bill Pearl says in whatever his book is. I got a book by a guy named Ralph Mann and tried at least one program in that. I tried "beginner programs" from magazines where you lift 3 days a week. I tried at least one other 4 day a week beginner program. I tried the thing in the book "bodybuilding 101". I tried this program from "flex" magazine where they'd give you a little more in each issue. I tried "the weider approach". I tried schwarzenegger's advice. I also tried a bunch of splits and workouts I made up myself. Basically I tried everything. I tried most of these programs for between one month and 12 weeks waiting for my body to "start responding". "Superslow" and "Heavy Duty" were two others I tried, in fact, I tried those a lot and there was nothing that confused me more than those two programs. They are to a very large degree responsible for my failing for so long. The programs were so different and philosophical that there was no grey area. Those programs were either right or wrong and I could never decide which because neither that way or the traditional approach did anything at all for me. I will say however that Mike Mentzer (author of heavy duty) is the only author besides Castano that I don't dislike. This is because even though he was wrong about what he said, he, unlike pretty much everyone else at least acknowledged the fact that what works for steroid users will not work for the non-user and he did his best to find something for non-users. I really can't stand most of the authors I dealt with before Castano because they either only test their ideas on themselves while they're on steroids or they test their ideas on other steroid users (like weider would). They never mention that their advice won't work for a lot of non-steroid users and they act like it will and act like they're not on steroids most of the time. They are nothing short of frauds.

Sometimes I would gain a really little bit of strength or size on a few of those programs but only for a really short amount of time or only while I was on creatine (water-weight). Overall I can honestly say that I GOT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR ALL MY EFFORTS FOR ALL THE YEARS THAT I TRIED THOSE!

When I first started lifting I don't think I knew that the people in weightlifting magazines took steroids. I realized it very slowly due to the fact that their advice didn't work but if you read magazines enough, like I did, you will hear most the guys admit it. A few of them are entirely honest (for example Flex Wheeler and Mike Mentzer) but most of them at least admit it. just not very often. You have to read enough to find out that they use and to see the interviews where they talk about it. They don't just take steroids, they are nothing but professional drug users. People who are unfamiliar with the fact that those guys are drugged up out of their minds should look for a magazine called "Natural Bodybuilding Magazine". Those guys are on the honor code and don't take anything illegal (but still take supplements sometimes in increased dosages). They are not as big as the users, and what I find really interesting is that you can use the people who admit it and the people who definitely don't use as reference points to see who is and isn't on steroids. If a baseball player or other athlete looks more like the users or even like the top non-users. well, he's a user and a whole lot of athletes apparently are. I considered taking steroids but I never did because I have been a successful athlete in ways outside of bodybuilding and I am known for it and I feel respected among my friends and I didn't want people to be able to say "yeah but he takes steroids". My other sport (mainly skiing) is one of two reasons I didn't ever take steroids. The other reason is because I believe it is cheating.

Anyways. I didn't want to take 'roids so ultimately I gave up, completely, for more than a year. In the end it was something that Mentzer said that made me give in. He said that everyone has different potential and some people only have the potential to gain a really tiny bit of muscle. Since I'd tried everything and gotten nothing I decided that that was me. Weightlifting became the one thing that made me think that people can't accomplish anything they put their minds to after all.

After a good year of not lifting, this summer (summer '05) I was reading online about natural ways to raise testosterone just for the sake of having high testosterone for sports and I came across Francesco Castano's site. I read a few testimonials from guys who had similar stories to mine (tried a lot of things with no results first) who said that this program finally worked for them. In fact a lot said that this finally worked GREAT for them, and that is exactly how it's gone for me. I did not have high hopes when I ordered this program because I no longer believed that it was possible for me to gain strength.

I cannot believe how different this program has been from any others I ever tried and I could not believe how well it worked. I started lifting on July 5th this year and for 3 months followed this program to a tee. I don't have good potential for weightlifting and I believe that others should be able to gain at least as much or more in three months on this program if they follow it as well as I did. For three months I only did the bodybuilding phase and ignored the fat loss phase so I was gaining as fast as I could. This testimonial is for my first 3 months because those months are an indication of how well this works when it's followed perfectly and fully. I also stopped after 3 months to ski for a while so that's the other reason this is just for the first 3.

The results were visible within a week. I kept track of my arm measurements and increased from about a 14 inch arm to 16 inches even within the first 3 months I did this program. I only measured my arms because it wasn't very necessary to measure because it was so clear that this was working and my bodyweight increased from 165 to 195. There may have been a gain of about 5 pounds of fat. There were two weeks in which I gained just under a quarter of an inch on my arms in the week alone and one week where I gained a FULL quarter of an inch on my arms, just in a week! I used machines for a lot of my exercises and here is how I increased: If I used the same weight from one workout to the next I usually did at least 2 more reps but sometimes much much more. There were certain workouts I had where I would increase 20 pounds on a few lifts since just my last time that I did them. One day I increased 30 pounds on machine flies just since my last chest workout. At the beginning of the three month period I worked out with 200 on the bench machine and then at the end of the months I was working out with 270. On the incline machine I started with 90 and ended working out with 180. On the shoulder press machine my gain for the 3 months was the same and went from working out with 90 to 180. On lat pulldown I went from working out with 190 to 250. Everything else increased at a similar rate to all of this. Triceps were among the fastest gaining body part. There was one thing I didn't increase in strength much on and that was shoulder shrugs, however, I recently got a deep tissue massage and had a large increase in strength as a result of that. I guess the muscle was just too tight. Whenever I stopped gaining I just increased calories, and started gaining again. This program enables you to fully understand all the variables involved and it is so nice to be able to pinpoint a reason for a lack of gains rather than wondering. So far on this program the only times I stopped gaining I just needed to increase calories and that was the only reason. Castano's concept of increasing workload amazes me. It amazes me by how clear it becomes that it is the key ingredient to bodybuilding and how this program proves that it's necessary.

Being stronger has been great. Every movement I make feels more supported. My joints feel better and I feel more athletic overall. My friends who hadn't seen me for a while all noticed my difference in size.

I am not going to post before and after pictures right now because since I started concentrating more on skiing I actually lost a little muscle (no matter, I know how to get it back now), so it would not be a clear indication of what I gained. I will however post a picture of my face so that people know that I am a real person (see my myspace site). I have not met Mr. Castano outside of the internet but he succeeded in something that I never would have without his help and it is partially because of my appreciation of him that I have written this. I also wrote this simply because I want as many people as possible to find their way out of all the B.S. that is in other books and magazines and into an effective program. Perhaps the main reason I wrote this is because I feel that this is the only way for a lot of people to gain muscle (besides using steroids) and I am pissed off at the steroid using authors who advise people like me who don't use steroids. I absolutely can't stand those authors. People like Schwarzenegger are basically responsible for wasting years of my life. Just thinking about all the confusion, and time wasted and effort for nothing makes me want to vomit. I want to save as many people as possible from either completely failing or wasting as much time as I did on account of confusion.

I believe that this program is the one true way to lift. I can't see any reason why this wouldn't be the best for everyone even if it's not the ONLY thing that'll work for everyone like it was for me. Look at what an enormous difference it made for me!

Thank you for enabling me to finally have control of my strength and fitness.

Alessandro Gains 85 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

TO THE PEOPLE WHO DONT BELIEVE READ THIS!

i will never forget that july afternoon. school was out and i was becoming a senior in high school. One thing though, i was thin!! iv always looked up to bodybuilders as i was growing up. they put in a lot of time and dedication. I like mostly natural bodybuilders, not a big fan of the freaks or the juiceheads. so i was online searching on mass building routines. i was determined and nobody could stop me. i came across the musclenow website. i read the whole page and without thinking twice i placed the order. This is where my life CHANGED. Nothing has ever changed my life in such a positive way.

i recieved the booklet and soaked in all the info and processed it. i actually took one week before starting so i could fully absorb and understand every single detail in the book. The week that i began was brutal. How can one eat so much food? The workouts were also intense. of course i started out light but i made sure that i went to failure on each and every set. i was soar for a long time. But i couldnt give up just yet!!!

I was on the 4 times a week workout regiman that francesco wrote out and it was working like a charm. i cycled the workouts as stated, followed the diet, and anytime i had a question, Francesco was right there to help me. I must have emailed him 100 times but he never got mad. He just kept motivating me and making it easier for me to grasp and workout. THIS of course fueled my fire and i was on a roll.

In a month and a half i started to look different already. First day of school people were like wow you changed during the summer, what are you working out?? i SAID yea im working out alittle bit, nothing crazy. Was i feeling good and pumped!!! My well being was increasing, strenght was going up, confidence was deff. going up and i just felt healthy. I felt like a champion.

As the years went by, i made sure to never miss a meal, follow francescos rules, and train as hard as possible. I was getting bigger, stronger, and much more healthier each year. This was too good to be true i said to myself.

NOW lets recap this. i started out weighing 135lbs at 5'9, very very lean and skinny. In three years, THREE YEARS, i went up to 220lbs. WAs i ripped?? NO. was i big? yes. i was a big boy. The ripped look is not my style, but this program WILL get you ripped and add muscle at the same time i just chose not to go that route and gain solid mass.

Everybody was like oh alex your on steroids. noway in hell can one gain so much weight in such short period of time. People who havent seen me in like 2 years were like WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!!! my neck was huge, my arms were huge, and my shoulders were just retarted. 5'9 220lbs is not bad for a natural bodybuilder. i was 20 years old at that time. MY PARENTS ACTUALLY SENT ME TO GO GET TESTED FOR STEROIDS!!! because they were shocked.

Now i am 23 years old and stopped lifting weights for 3 yers going on 4 years due to my job and other stuff in life. but i emailed francesco and he got me started again and i am BEGINNING THE PROGRAM ONCE AGAIN!!!

If your willing to change your life, be stronger, bigger naturally, then this is the program for you. BUT THIS PROGRAM WILL GIVE YOU STRETCH MARKS caused by the rapid growth. AND get ready to get yourself a whole new set of clothes because you WILL get bigger and leaner. so for those who say yea you cant do it naturally???? I WANT YOU TO ADD THIS UP. 135lbs to 220lbs in 3 YEARS NATURALLY ON THE MUSCLENOW SYSTEM.

its too bad i stopped. IF i didnt stop the francesco system, who knows where i would have been today. Id probably be competing and WAY bigger. Give this a chance guys, YOU WONT REGRET IT.

Tom Bridges Gains 35 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I have finished by first month on the MuscleNow Program and am astounded at the results. I have grown so much more than I had thought I would, I knew I would grow but I was rather skeptical because I had been lifting for one year and had long ago reached a plateau. Your program requires so much dedication, but it has paid off. Fat levels are also declining (just as you said in the book). I just thought I'd thank you for the program and tell you about my progress. Thanks.

An Update From Tom

I want to say your program is great, I started at just under 135 lbs (5'8'' tall) over a year ago and now weigh 160 at the same height. I have learned so much from that book and wanted to again thank you for your program.

David Aronson Gains 2 Inches On His Biceps
In 6 Weeks With MuscleNOW!

I'm in the second cycle of your program. The first 6 week cycle was pretty good-- I gained 2 inches on my arms and 2 and a half inches on my chest.

Your program is great--it is the first comprehensive one I've ever seen. I've made more progress in a month and a half than I did in a year and a half without the proper information.

Rob Chong Gains 22 Pounds, 5 Inches On His Chest, and 2 1/4 Inches On His Biceps With MuscleNOW!

Hi Francesco

Just thought I'd drop you a line to say I am progressing pretty well. It is coming up on my second year of training, and my progress has been pretty rapid so far. I stick to the diet and exercise 3 times a week because of my schedule. (I admit I have slacked off from time to time because of illness, however I always train with as much intensity as I can).

For the first year I had to take it slow and ease myself into the exercise program. You see I was still recovering from a very serious internal injury. (Long story short, 3 days in intensive care, and a week under close observation- 4-5 months off work. And still recovering 3 years later. I had dropped down to less than 115 pounds because I couldn't eat properly. I was in constant pain for over a year. Bouncing off the side of a mountain and busting your liver wide open will do that to you. Not really something I like to think about or remember. It was touch and go there for a few days.) Needless to say any exertion, let alone exercise was totally out of the question at that point. But a year afterwards, I wanted to do something that would get me back to a mental & physical level that I have always wanted to be. I am a "hardgainer," high metabolic rate etc. Or so I thought...

One of the only things I could do was to read and surf the net at that time. I found your site one day and spent over 3 hours reading your material. I took a gamble and made my first ever internet purchase. I ordered your book. It came in the mail less than a week later. I have been re-reading it and going over the lessons and sticking to the diet and exercise plans ever since. My friends always comment on the incredible gains I have made and how much better I look. My confidence levels are high and the funny thing is people are now asking me for advice on how to exercise and get in shape!

I have all my exercise equipment including a very well built and designed squat rack, lat pull down and exercise bench options from a Canadian company called Northern Lights. I also have an exercise bike and treadmill. These were all bought over a period of time as I progressed and funds became available to me. (I hate going out in the cold in the Canadian Winter to a gym. I prefer to have my own equipment and play my own music and go at my own pace.)

Here is what I gained with MuscleNOW
22 pounds of actual muscle mass
3" Shoulders,
5" Chest,
2 1/4" Bi/Triceps,
1 1/4" Forearms,
2 1/2" Legs/Quad
1" Calf

(All these measurements were taken early in the morning after my six week cycle, with relaxed muscles- not flexing.)

If anyone has any reservations about your program then all I can say is: If you really want to do something good for yourself, then do not hesitate to get started. Knowledge + Healthy Diet + Proper Exercise + Intensity + Perseverance + Patience = A state of being that will last a lifetime.

Take care and thanks for all the quick replies to my queries and the knowledge necessary to get me back on the path to a full recovery.

Chris Liepe Gains 40 Pounds
and Doubles Bench Press
With MuscleNOW!

In the past 8 months I have gone from 130lbs to 170lbs on a 5'9" frame using your program. Needless to say, I have experienced amazing results. Before starting the program I had tremendously painful tendinitis in both shoulders and my left elbow. I could hardly lift school books or a guitar without something hurting. I decided to try the diet first to see if merely the nutrition aspect of things would help my pain, and within a month my pain got much better, so I decided to try the weight training, and though I had start slow, the gains just took off.

I started Bench Press going to failure at 90lbs, and am now at 185lbs. Preacher Curls went from 40lbs to 105lbs THIS PROGRAM WORKS!!!! I was completely skin and bones before starting this thing, and now I am getting compliments from people left and right, and they have asked me how I have made such progress in a short amount of time. I am looking forward to seeing what future months will bring.

Nearly everything about my life has changed for the better this past year thanks to this program. I feel stronger, more energetic, I sleep better.

Thank You.

Eric Naylor Gains 46 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I've gained 46 lbs in the last year and I haven't even followed the program strictly because I have two kids and a wife who doesn't value my efforts as much as I'd like. I have 8% body fat and I went from lifting 185 to 325 on bench and 40lb dumbbell curls to 70lbs. I haven't kept track of my chest size but I've gained 3 inches on my arms from 15 to 18 inches.

I have a lot of friends and family who ask me what I've done to get so big in the last year. When I tell them about the program and the free training advice they all look at me with disbelief, and instead of the guys in the gym asking me for bits and pieces of info I'll just refer them to the web page and the testimonial section to convince them. I just want to make believers of the sceptics who think I've done steroids.

I will continue to keep you updated of my progress and when I can I'll give you before and after pics with dates because words only go so far. If there is any work I can do for you as far as advertising I'd be glad to, as I am a card holding member of the International Association of Fire Fighters and I will be entering the Firefighter Challenge this coming year. What better way to get your program out there even more than on a nationally televised program!

I'll talk to you soon!

First, I wanted to thank you for cutting through the B.S. with your program, it works, simply just as you promised.

Second, people ask me daily if I'm doing steroids, I don't know whether to be offended or to take it as complement to your program? But rest assured, I've been sending them to your web page.

Since starting your program (5 weeks ago) I have increased my chest 2", arms 1/2" and I maintain a 32-33 inch waist, all while gaining 12 lbs! (This is after training for 9-10 years, hard!)

Again, Thank You,

Jared Reynolds Gains 16 Pounds In One Month With MuscleNOW!

When I first heard about your program I was very excited that someone would offer a money back guarantee in three months instead of six weeks. When I started working out and following the diet I gained an impressive 16 pounds in one month!!! I have to be the hardest gainer in the world until I got on your program, but now I don't have to worry because with your plan the pounds just pack on so easily. What I like most about the work of routine is the cycle that you have set up for all of us, that to me is ingenious.

Former "Hardgainer" Elias Georgaras
Gains 17 Pounds In 4 Weeks
With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I want to really thank you for all your hard work you have put into this book. I have read it from front cover to back cover at least 3 times. It's great reading material especially when you lose confidence. But it's really hard to lose confidence when I'm following the guidelines of your book. It is SO INSPIRATIONAL. I couldn't get over how it just lifted my self esteem. I have been lifting weights for a while. I never gained an ounce. I got much stronger, but the results weren't there. So now Im starting to gain weight and lots of strength! I began as 129 pounds and now I'm at 146 pounds after just 4 weeks into the first cycle. I have always been made fun of (and still am) for being skinny. So out of frustration, I got online that night and found your book and ordered it. I am so thankful for your time and efforts.

It would be great if you posted this email! I want it on your site because I am the hardest gainer! Seriously! Thanks for all your help!!!!!

Marco Vega Gains 20 Pounds In One Month
With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

I purchased your MuscleNOW program about 4 months ago. As for my results, I gained 20 pounds in one month! I regret to admit that I have slacked off a bit and have yet to gain anymore. I did, however, gain an average of 2--2.5 inches on my entire body including my biceps, chest, legs, and so forth in that same month. I have begun the program once more and I am determined to make my goal of 175 lbs. I have always weighed about 128--130 lbs, but I now weigh around 150 and I owe it all to you. I was very skeptical at first, but the promises you gave have proven true. With hard work and determination, anyone can succeed with this program. Once again I thank you for what you have given me and for what you are offering to many others.

Sincerely,

Dear Francesco,

Between July 1st and August 9th I gained 15 pounds (152 to 167) and didn't gain any fat (in fact, I think I actually lost a small amount). Its been about a month as of now (september 25) since I've stopped following your program to the letter, but I've been able to maintain my weight (in fact I gained another three pounds between August ninth and the first day of school, so now I'm 170). As for the dividends, I've been mistaken for a Junior countless times (I'm a freshman). Many thanks, and expect another letter when I get my act together and begin again.

I purchased your program two years ago. I gained 20 pounds in three months vs. zero pounds in the previous ten years! (I was weight training off and on... mostly off.) I lost the book and my membership number, but it doesn't bother me because I have your weightlifting knowledge in my head.

The testimonials on your site gave me the confidence to purchase the program. I knew that what you were saying made sense, but since it is different from most weight lifting advice, I wasn't sure. Hearing other people's success stories clinched it for me.

Keep up the good work. You are doing something great.

Eric Vinceslio Gains 9 Pounds In Two Weeks
Best Results In 7 Years With MuscleNOW!

I am on the end of my second week of my first cycle. I have gained 6 pounds already and my strength has increased in all areas. I have followed your diet and workout plan to the letter. I know what is like to be skeptical. I actually looked up the name of one of your testimonies to see if they existed. No discredit towards you, it us just that a life time of empty promises from so many companies has left me a bit jaded. I would be happy to help others that experience similar doubts. It is still hard for me to believe the miraculous results I wake up to daily. I had just taped myself for the first time since I started two weeks ago and gained the following:

Arms 14.5------14.75
Chest 38.0-----38.50
Legs 19.75-----20.0

I stand 5'8" and have went from 151 to 160

My strength also increases every time I go to the gym. Keep in mind that I have been working out consistently for 7 years and have never experienced gains like this. The best part is it is not water weight from so many cell bloating supplements I have used in the past. The program is nothing short of amazing, and I cant thank you enough.

R.L. Gains Over 30 Pounds With MuscleNOW

WOW! WOW! WOW! It is hard to believe that I'm over 30 pounds heavier since beginning the program! I've worked out for long periods of time before, gaining maybe a pound or two and virtually no strength in a six-month span. Then by the luck of God, I accidentally came across the MuscleNOW page, read the info, E-mailed Francesco with a couple of questions (answered promptly, by the way), and decided to invest in it. I can't think of a time that my money was more well-spent. This course unloads a plethora of information that bodybuilding mags take years to compile. Every single minute detail is covered, and if you still have ANY questions, they are answered very quickly. Francesco even took time to answer a couple of stupid wrestling questions that I was wondering about. He and his course took a huge weight off of my shoulders by presenting the step-by-step course; no thinking involved! His experience and know-how are invaluable, making the small price you pay for the course a steal! I honestly thank God for throwing this course my way and for inspiring Francesco to do what he does. I think he is genuinely concerned and excited about his customers' results, and for that I feel I owe it to him to keep up the work.

Francesco, thank you for your time, generosity, patience, and all the years of work you put into this to make it easy for people like me.

In the last four months I have put on 20 pounds, and I continue to get stronger and stronger on your program.

When I started lifting I gained fast but than I hit a wall for two years and went nowhere as far as size and strength. I'm progressing now like I just started again.

Once i found your program I thought that I would give it a try. The price is about what I was spending on supplements a month anyway. I have been on your program now for 6 months. I have put on 45 lbs of muscle and have increased my max bench by over 100 lbs, while dropping by bodyfat. I have put 3 inches on my arms and 6 on my chest! It is unbelievable!! I'm not special either. Before muscle now i used to spend hours in the gym each day with very small strength gains if any and no size gains. The program works for everyone. You have taken the trial and error out of workouts! My friends spend twice the amount of time I spend in the gym and can't get any result. Your program is the only way to truly unlock "your true body's potential". I love the way the program walks you through everything by giving you examples. I also would like to thank you for getting back to me on my questions within a day every time! Francesco your program has changed my life. My confidence level has gone up so much.

Thank you!

Adam Bott Gains 25 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco

WOW, You have changed my life, for real. I had bought your program one year and a few months ago and it has given me gains that a SUPER fast metabolism body couldn't break down. All my years I tried lifting and eating alot (actually I've always ate tons) but alot of it the wrong kinds of food and tried supplementation. None of it worked. I was so skinny, Last year I was about 140 or so, now I am about 165, steady. I gained PURE muscle and look more cut than ever. I don't have to worry about exercise, since my metabolism is so high and I play 3 school sports a year, and TONS of other sports all year long. I always new I could be good looking if I just gained some weight. Now it's all sprung out.

Another GREAT thing about you is your quick emails that answer anyone's questions perfectly. Your emails directly reflect your book that is written so understandably. I still feel like I owe you sooo much! If I would have taken a before picture, or not had already gained the weight, I would have entered a contest for the biggest transformation. Now after seeing the results of your program, whenever I look at ANYBODY with a skinny or fat body (or who says the want to change) I KNOW they can with your program, it's just they don't want to put in the hard enough work to morph themselves. But if they were like me and REALLY want to change, they would, simply put.

First of all, I would like to thank you (once again) for such a wonderful course. Many things happened to me since buying your course, preventing me from consistently following the course but I finally managed to start again 10 weeks ago. Since then, I gained 8 kilograms!! I never weighed this much in my life... Thanks a lot Francesco! This is definitely the best program I have ever used!!

Darren Pinnock Gains 27 Pounds, 6 Inches On His Chest, and Nearly 3 Inches On His Arms In 12 Weeks!

Francesco,

For many years I have been uncomfortable with my size (to the point of depression) and have tried everything albeit not with any longstanding conviction. This was precisely for the reasons you outline in your book thank you. In a week and two days I have already put on half a stone (7 pounds) of body weight to which I now weigh more than I ever have in all my years. This is extremely encouraging.

An Update From Darren

Everything is going according to plan i have gained 14lbs since i started.. I have grown 3 inches on my legs.. 3 inches on my biceps and 2 and a half inches on my chest.. I particularly like the way my whole body is improving!! It gives me great satisfaction that i am able to make good solid progress..

12 Week Update From Darren

I have completed 2 cycles of your program and here are the results so far. I promise to send pictures as soon as i have reached my goal.

March 15th
Chest: 34 inches
Right Bicep: 12.5 inches
Left Bicep: 12.5 inches
Left Thigh: 17 inches
Right Thigh: 17 inches
Waist 29 inches
Weight 131 Pounds

12 Weeks Later (June 8th)
Chest: 40 inches (+6 inches)
Right Bicep: 15.25 inches (+2.75 inches)
Left Bicep: 15.25 inches (+2.75 inches)
Left Thigh: 21 inches (+4 inches)
Right Thigh: 21 inches (+4 inches)
Waist: 30 inches (+1 inch)
Weight: 158 pounds (+27 pounds)

I want to emphasise one point I was so eager to begin the program I actually completed two cycles incorrectly. I don't want to go into too much detail on my mistake but I shall tell you this I am probably a good few pounds behind what I could have been. As the measurements suggest I have gained a whopping 27 pounds something that I considered impossible prior to the program. I am much more confident now and have people complimenting me on my physique. I still have a way to go. But all the way from London England I can tell you this works!! Wait till you see the pictures there will be no doubt about this.

Thank you Francesco.

Francesco,

I am in Iraq. I have used your system to bulk up when I first got here from 170 pounds to 186 pounds. Truly amazing! I am now focusing on the fat loss phase because I want to tighten up before I am reunited with my family. This program takes the guess work out of it. I have been working out and "playing with fitness" for years. Your MuscleNOW program more than lived up to my expectations. I have introduced your system to many of my friends ~ all have had the same successes. My very best for you and your family.

"Hardgainer" Todd Shoemake Gains 21 Pounds
In 9 Weeks With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I am 26 years old and I bought your program several weeks ago. Words cannot express how pleased I am with it. I am in my second 6 week cycle, week 4 (10th week total). To give you some background on myself, I was a definite hard-gainer until discovering your program. I started the program at 5'11" and 134lbs. I was so skinny that you could literally count the vertebrae in my spine. I tried working out in spurts over the past few years, but always failed to build any significant strength or mass gains. I had been living in ignorance to proper training and dieting techniques. Your program is so detailed yet so logical and informative. I can't imagine the years of frustration that you must have endured in order to find the perfect training program.

Your years of research and technique trials have paid off immensely for the rest of us. You have eliminated the "guess-work" for anyone wanting to explore bodybuilding the right way, the natural way. This program produces results unlike anything I have ever seen! Weighing myself after my 9th week of training on your program, I had gained 21lbs of muscle mass. My quadriceps have increased by 2", my biceps by 1", my chest by 3", and my body fat level has only slightly increased. I feel within the end of this 2nd workout cycle I will have a nice set of "6-pack" abs, and I will hopefully send some pictures to share my success. I have already been receiving complements on my gains and my self confidence has really taken a boost. My goal at this point is to reach 170lbs. I definitely feel that this goal is within reach. Thank you so much for your efforts and sharing them with the rest of us in need.

I have already recommended your program to a couple of local friends and they are showing interest.

Thanks for all of your help and God Bless.

Lovedeep Dhunna Gains 25 Pounds In 2 Months With MuscleNOW!

Hello Francesco,

I dont know if you recall but i had purchased your program about 2.5 years ago. I still remember the day i got it i read it cover to cover about 4 times the first week! making sure i could keep every detail in mind. Of course I still have the program and I have to say, from myself a student of exercise physiology, this program is outright outstanding. for the regular "joe or jane" that doesnt study this stuff for their future and present this is definately enough information to develop a soild, bodybuilding type routine off of.

When i started the program I was at 180# within ~2 months i was up to 205#! mostly muscle gain ~2 inches on the waist but that dissappeared pretty fast. I had a friend who i saw once a week at work and i vividly remember, every week he would mention how i have gotten bigger since the last time i worked with him (1week)

once i started the fat loss phase last summer (which worked quite well) i fell back to my roots (kickboxing and exteme conditioning) Needless to say, i stopped using your program buy the end of last August and have changed my fittness goals dramatically (function before form), Im now triaining Muay Thai and train for expliveness, strength and overall conditioning.

My one major regret from being on the MuscleNow program was that i didn't take any before/ after photgraphs. I did however keep measurements and training logs with the poundages i lifted each day and those were and still are a constant inspiration.

I think its abosoulutly fanstastic to seen the program constantly evolving to greater heights of knowledge. I am really impressed from the additions you have recenly made in terms of exercise and diet (remember I'm an exercise physiology major :-) )

Thank you for your knowledge and only the best to you!

Dustin Weigelt Gains 20 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

When I sent in my payment for your system I also sent a letter saying this was my last hope before I was going to try steroids. Needles to say I loved the book even though I never implemented any of what you told me except the diet. I would calculate all the food out in bags but I never would eat it. Well time went on I put the book in the top shelf of my closet and continued to use supplements. I went through a lot in my life drinking heavily on weekends with my so called friends and my workout were really bad do to my body recovering from the drinking all week long. 4 years ago I met a lady who changed my life around and we had a daughter I was still working out off and on I was weighing in at 135 at age 24 pretty bad still choking down weight gainers and not gaining a pound. Having kids I could no longer afford supplements and I hated choking down pills and powders before and after my work outs. I promised I was no longer going to take them any more and that's when I found your book in my closet in my mom's house right were I left it. I read it over again and promised I would fallow it no matter what. Well I did except for the diet I kind of eat all the time but made sure I had a lot of protein and carbs and eat a lot of fruit before and after my work outs. But I stuck to the work out routines and cycle and O MY GOSH!! I loved it I was working out with less intensity and my body blew up!! Week after week I was getting bigger my strength was going thought the roof my shirts were getting tight around my arms, chest and back I gained 15 solid pounds in one six week cycle!!! I'm going on my next cycle next week but I'm going to fallow the system to a "T" diet and everything. Francesco I thank you very much you have saved my life from using dangerous drugs giving up on a nice body. I went from 135 to today 155 but every one can't believe I'm only weigh 155 with all the muscle I have. I'll use your system for the rest of my life and I read into it just for motivation some times. Like I seed I will be starting my second cycle and expect huge gains since I will be using the diet as well as the routines. In the future I promise I will take before and after pictures for you while holding my muscle now book.

"I've been accused of taking steroids twice...
...you'll get the results you're looking for I promise you!"

Francesco,

When I came across MuscleNow it was because I had been using supplements in a very dangerous way. In the end I blew out two nerves in my left shoulder rendering it completely useless. I could barely lift my dinner plate. I also damaged nerves in my groin area as well, which caused alot of problems, however i won't go into details about that. But I started your program five months ago and worked very diligentally until now. I ended up gaining about an inch in both arms and an inch in my chest. I was also able to get my washboard abs, and a butt which I was lacking in. I have so many people saying looking buff today bro, have you been lifting, dude you're huge! And to be hoenst I do not mind hearing it.

I would encourage anyone to try this program. Push yourself and you will see results! My results have been so great I've been accused of taking steroids twice! I just smile and say nope I'm on musclenow. To just show you how much I have improved when I first started Francesco's program I only benched 115, now I'm up to 180. I squatted a pultry 135, now I'm up to 255. I could only curl 45 when I started now I'm up to 95. I mean the results are there just follow the diet and hit the gym as hard as you can. You'll get the results you're looking for I promise you! If you have any questions, concerns, or there's anything I cna help you out with please feel free to email me. Last thing, anytime I had a question Francesco was more than willing to help me out, no matter how stupid my question was. He truly is a great man, and he will help you become what you wanna be!

Raheel Khan Gains Over 33 Pounds (15 KG)

It has been 1 year of training and I must say the results have now started to speak for themselves. I am becomming huge, I mean when i flex my bicep and chest the entire shape of the muscles are visible even with the shirt etc.

I must say i am so turned on with the mass building stage that i did not even started the fat cutting phase yet. The trainers in the gym are asking me what supplements i am using etc and when i am doing my sets they quietly go through my workout chart and weight chart that you have provided me. I mean each day I am keeping on adding weight, I mean the strenght etc are just sky rocketing each time. I must say the results took a bit time but now they are comming at a great pace. Soon I am going to send you a picture you will be surprised, I mean i started at 55 kgs and now I am 70 plus kgs in a year.

Thanks

"Hardgainer" Huw Macartney Gains Muscle Mass & Burns Fat With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

hi - hope life is treating you well. A short summary of my progress since starting MN in January was that I gained about 1.5 inches on my arms and 2-3 inches on my chest in about 3 months. For me this was a massive achievement because, like so many lifters I don't gain muscle easily. I put the changes down to three basic factors:

1. your programme explained exactly how to train to consistently 'over-stretch' my body/muscle capacity.
2. your programme explained EXACTLY how and what to eat to produce growth without excessive fat gains
3. prior to using MN I had trained for 3-4 years and had EITHER under-trained to produce significant mass gains OR under-eaten.

I am so grateful. Since May I've been cutting because when I started your programme I already had a fair amount of body fat around the waist. Your dieting technique has enabled me to lose over 3 inches on the waist in just over three months without significant loss of muscle. Whenever I cut back in the past I used to lose everything all at once and, annoyingly, keep the stubborn fat stores.

It's not easy; it takes time and dedication to produce results, but your techniques are far and away the most effective I've come across and I've searched the internet over the years and read mountains of magazines/scientific 'advice' on the subject.

I really am grateful for the invaluable knowledge. I've really satisfied with the steady progress so thank you loads.

Francesco,

Thank you so much for not only making me feel better physically about myself, but also for making me feel better mentally. I am confident in everything I do now. This has allowed me to perform better in college and at my job. I did the EAS contest recently. In 16 weeks, using MuscleNOW, I gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 1 lb of fat! I have been using the program now for 6 months. I weighed 120 lbs when I started, and now I weigh 136 lbs! (and have an even lower body fat level than when I began the program). My arms were 11.75 inches flexed and now are 13.3 inches! My chest has gone from 35 inches to just under 37 inches! Even my family can't believe that such a "stick" boy could produce such good muscle gains. This program has provided me such great results that I have not experienced a workout day that wasn't filled with motivational thoughts. Thank you for being so supportive and answering ALL of my questions. You have helped me realize true happiness in my life!

Francesco,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how I'm doing. I started your system two weeks ago and I can't believe what is happening. My strength gains are incredible. I've gained a half inch on my biceps, an inch and a half on my chest and lost an inch on my waist!

As you know I'm a police officer. Just after Christmas '98, I was attacked by two people when I responded to a bar to take an assault report. The "victim" and his brother took their frustration out on me and after being punched and kicked by them, they tried to take away my gun. Due to my training (and my partner's good timing) I didn't get hurt and the bad guys went to jail. I got lucky.

After that, I couldn't help thinking how different it could have been. Increased strength has been a futile goal of mine for ten years, but after the bar incident it became my mission. Granted, there is always someone out there who is bigger, stronger, etc.. but I want every advantage I can get. You have made that goal possible.

As a department Defensive Tactics trainer I will recommend your program to all of my trainees. After all, officer survival isn't just about winning the fight, it's about staying alive, going home to your family every day and living longer, healthier.

Thanks,

I've been following the program for only two weeks and I already see results. My chest has gone from 32.5 to 34 inches and my biceps went from 11 to 12 inches! Remember this is in only two weeks. I was on weight gain formulas and creatine before I started your program. I stopped because it started becoming too costly and it wasn't all it was cut out to be anyhow. Your program was exactly what I needed.

I purchased MuscleNOW two weeks ago, read it cover to cover in two days and have been rigorously following Workout Plan A and the nutritional guidelines given.

In one week I have gained 4 pounds, which may not seem like much , but I've been seriously working out for 5 years and have gained practically no mass after trying a multitude of other (expensive) exercise plans, supplements and diet regimens.

MuscleNOW has truly made a difference and I recommend it to anyone who has all but given up hope!

There is no doubt that I could accomplish any type of body I want with your program, as it has allowed me to have very good muscle development, and I am proud of my body. All in all I am truly satisfied, and plan to continue the program for a long, long time.

I was never really skeptical of your program, but it seemed like most people I knew were. They keep quiet now, because they can see that the system works.

I stumbled across the MuscleNOW website while searching the internet for advice on how to gain weight. Adding muscles to my skinny body has been a lifelong struggle, so the website really spoke to me. I decided to give it a try. I began the program and immediately noticed a change in my body. It is hard work, but well worth it, as I am finally gaining substantial muscle. I look forward to working out and I feel and look better than I ever have! I can't thank you enough for making this information available!

Dear Francesco,

I would like to thank you for a totally awesome program. I've completed the first six week cycle and the results are tremendous. I have been working out for about 3 years, as you said I hit a brick wall because I did the same number of sets/reps for every workout. I also never ate correctly. When I started the program my body automatically responded by adding new muscle mass at a incredible rate. My chest went from 44".5 to 46", biceps 16" to 16.75", forearm 13.25" to 14.75". My body fat is so low I can see the muscle fibers. For months I was stuck on the same weight but since starting I've increased between 10 to 40 lbs, the most being in the bench and squat. So this program definitely works.

Mr. Castano,

First, let me give you many thanks and props for your assistance through the program and email mediums. I've had great results, most, if not all, of which is due to your expertise. I used the program for about six weeks last year before I went through a move and lost steam. In that short time, I got the nickname 'roid boy' cause of the speed of growth. That was reward enough in itself! Thank you very much.

Francesco,

I just wanted to tell you of the improvements I have gotten over the past 5 weeks. I am now on week 6 of your program....starting the program I measured 15 inch arms...in week three I gained a 1/2 inch! I can't wait to see the measurements at the end of this week. I have veins that I have never had before; very much detail now in my muscles. The diet is very easy to follow. I have had so many compliments on my body since I have started your program. This is the most legitimate workout program I have seen yet! I get a kick out of watching people workout now....I have even caught up with a few of the older guys in the gym who were way past me in strength....but strength isn't even what I was shooting for...it was just a well developed body, and you have made it happen! I recommend your program to anyone who is looking for the most effective way to gain muscle mass FAST. Your program is real and I thank you for your knowledge.

With most regards,

Do you want to be entertained by an audio and videotape or do you want to workout and get big fast, etc., etc.?

Anyway, MuscleNow has worked for me. I bought it almost two years ago, tried it briefly then, but had to stop because my wife and I had a child and we both had to rearrange our schedules.

Now, 18 months later I've started the program again. The results have been eye popping. Friends and family are shocked at the difference 2 months have made on my bod. I went from 163 lbs to 175 in 2 months (6 pounds the first month and six the second). My physique has changed dramatically. I don't have to flex for anyone to see how ripped my chest, back and arms have become. I feel great about myself.

And the online counsel has helped me in ways I couldn't begin to explain. He's helped with my diet, and recommended different exercises. No question I asked was too difficult or too dumb. I usually had an answer from him within 48 hours (most times 24).

If I had the other course, my online help would have elapsed after a year and I'd be stuck with videotapes and a cassette tape, which can't answer my questions. Nothing beats being able to go to the author for answers.

The course is well worth what he's charging for it. Actually, it's worth more. My advice? Go with MuscleNOW.

I just wanted to tell you I am just thrilled with my results. I have been working out off and on for the last year, but I could not stick to it faithfully because I was frustrated with the results. Well, I have been on your program for 4 weeks and have went from 134 to 141. I had put on that much weight before, but it took 4 months. and a lot went in my face and stomach and was due mainly to fat gainer, I mean weight gainer. I did it again in just 4 weeks. And not one bit is fat. I can't wait to see what the future will bring. I have never loved working out as much as I do now, and all thanks to you.

I would like to thank you for the many different things you have done for me. Your program is very helpful and very cheap considering paying for a personal trainer or some other form of training aide. The book has taught me many things about muscle building that I was unaware of before. My chest, biceps, and forearms have all increased by at least 3 inches while my strength increases have been over 50 % while I have only been on this program for a month! I have seen dramatic changes in my physique while receiving comments from my friends. I would also like to note that I appreciate the personal help you provide for specific questions that come about through your email. It has helped me my continuing my motivation instead of staying confused and quitting. I would highly recommend this program for everybody who is interested in being the their top physical shape and looking great. Thanks again.

I just wanted to drop a quick note saying thank you very much for all the help you've been. I think I lost count of the number of questions I fired at you after buying your program, yet you always sent back a polite, helpful, and prompt response to all my questions. I purchased your program a while back and due to my own busy schedule and lack of initiative I only made a half-hearted effort, not getting all the results i had hoped for. Now i've re-started your program with a renewed intensity and a firm commitment to fitness and lo and behold: i'm starting to see results and growth in my measurements after only 1 month! i'm excited and encouraged and just wanted to say great job, keep up the good work; I wish you the best of luck and success in getting your program and support out there to more people who would like to get fit, healthy, and gain muscle mass!

Never judge a book by its cover is what you usually say - well I am sorry to tell you that you can judge this book by its cover. MUSCLENOW is the fastest muscle producing system that I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen a lot. Based on pure logic - this system managed to get me on the road that I’ve been trying to get on for the past two years. It stresses the critical factor in eating right. Most people underestimate this factor but then again most people don’t make consecutive gains in muscle mass, do they? Also, cycling is the most important principle in bodybuilding yet most people seem to ignore it, again this is what Francesco Castano, writer of this amazing book generously offers you. Whether you want to be a beach boy or a champion bodybuilder, this is the system for you. You can also ask Francesco questions through E-Mail and this totally personalizes this amazing system. Its liking having your own professional coach!!! My life changed 180 degrees in less than 6 weeks why shouldn't it do the same for you?

I'd like to tell you, Francesco, that your system is definitely the best around. I have gotta hand it to you - really! Mass is the name - and Mass is the game!

I have been following your program for the past three months, and I now look far better than I initially did before I started your program. Just before I began, I weighed 125lb with my chest measuring 35", biceps at 11.5". In about three months, I weighed 144lb with my chest size at 38", and biceps at 13.25". I don't hear the word "skinny" or "too thin" any more. In fact, I've been hearing lots of compliments recently. My co-workers are surprised at how my dress shirts that once fit sluggishly now actually look small on me. My housemate's friend thought that I was a different person. He asked my housemate, "Did you get a new housemate?" I THANK YOU so much for your support and advice throughout my training.

Just want to drop a short email and update you. I have followed your program closely since I last contacted you (about 2 mo. ago). I have been pretty strict on my diet, except for a couple of times. I wrote out the exercise program and started carrying a notepad with me to the gym, documenting everything. I am on my first 5 week cycle through the plan. I started with the higher reps, lower weight...now I'm on the last (week 5) of the heavy stuff.

It has really made a difference!!! I measured 39" on my chest before I started getting serious about your program. I had been at that for months...with absolutely no increase. I measured my chest yesterday morning and was surprised that my chest was almost 40.25"!!! I had noticed a difference in the way my chest looked, but I never imagined that I had packed that much on. I even measured again this morning just to be sure, and it was just under 40.25". WOW!

Thanks again for all your help. I am really enthusiastic about all this again. Your program really works!

Thanks for all your help and I would just like to say that in these last four week (I just started the program) I have noticed drastic results. I and my family are starting to see muscle definition even under all my fat and I haven't even started the bigger diets. I have lifted weights before and have no where near achieved the fast results like I have on your program, it is excellent. I can only imagine I good I will look and feel and I fit I will be for football next year. I am truly amazed as I thought that the program would never work like this even when I started. YOUR program is the only one that I have found that tells me exactly what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what sort of exercises and the amount of exercises to do. It is great and well worth the investment considering I will have this knowledge and your guidance for life. You have truly created an excellent program and most importantly a unique one! You have done well my friend. I will keep you posted with my results.

Your program is awesome. Within the past two weeks, I have added 1/4" to my arms and 1" to my chest and have gained an extra 5 lbs without increasing my waist.

An Update From Fouad

Hello Francesco...I just wanted to praise your program again and let you know that your weight training philosophy/strategy is priceless. My size, and most importantly my strength, has SKYROCKETED!!!! Remember, when I first started about 9 weeks ago? I told you I could barely do 95lbs a few times...well, last Thursday I max'd out at 205lbs!!!! And I could've done 210lbs if I hadn't tried to max out at 195lbs before. Plus that was with free-weights and not the smith machine. The crazy part is that this is basically after only 1 cycle of your program! Over 1 inch on my arms and 2.5 inches on my chest in this period. When I first started your program I was about 145lbs give or take a few lbs. I recently topped out at 160lbs.

The coolest part is that people who haven't seen me in a few months are all amazed at how much bigger I look...they can't believe it sometimes. You have helped me more than I could've imagined.

hi francesco,

i just completed my first 6 week cycle and i have to admit, i'm pleased with the results. my goals when i bought this program was mainly to add about 15 quality pounds and to look "pretty good" for a over forty man. from comments i've received from my wife and friends, i know i've come along way in a short time. most size gains were in the 1/4" to up to 1/2" range with about 4 lbs of weight added. for me, true intensity didn't really occur till about the 3rd or 4th week when i could go in and bang it out without thinking to much. i wonder if the people who do this understand that the measurements are only one and not necessarily in my opinion, the most important indication of success. getting bigger is not the goal, getting better is. better covers all the angles. the most surprising improvements to me were muscle hardness, increased vascularity, definition, and strength increases. you can't build a house without first building a strong foundation. all i can say is thanks for the knowledge.

Hi Francesco,

After 4 weeks, I recently weighed myself and retook my measurements. I gained 10 pounds, with only a half inch increase in my waist, while gaining 3 quarters of an inch on my biceps and a full two inches on my chest! Needless to say I am very impressed. The program does take some hard work and dedication, but I found once I had gotten through the first week the meals were much easier to eat and my body adjusted. The weight workouts have really worked like magic also. In my past workouts I would feel sore or like I had really stimulated my muscles only for the first few days after a layoff, but under your program my muscles have felt constantly stimulated throughout the whole 4 weeks. I could really tell that something was going on there, even before I checked my progress. As an added benefit to physical appearance, your course has taught me much about the proper foods to eat and the proper ratios to each other, and believe me, this is a vast improvement over my previous diet! Even if I would stop exercising altogether, I would be better off than I was because I am now eating healthier.

Your program really works! Thank you very much,

You weren't kidding when you told me I should start to see something in 2 weeks... I have worked out for 1-2 months at a time before and have seen less results... I started two weeks ago, on a 3-4 day plan. So far, I have gained 1/2-1" in chest and shoulders and 1/4-1/2" in biceps after only 6 training days. And definition has improved from a smooth surface, to seeing small rippling bulges along the pec edges, and lines on the upper arms..

I am in my 5th week of my first 6 week cycle. I am totally blown away by the gains your program has given me. TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! I have been working out off and on, sometimes serious sometimes not, for over 3 years. I have accomplished more in 5 weeks than those 3 years combined. Those 3 years don't even come close to what your program has done for me over the past 5 weeks.

I found your website while searching the net for cures to hardgainers. I found two sites that were of interest to me, yours and one other. What sold me was that you downplayed the use of those bogus supplements, all those good for nothing products that just waste your money. So I decided to give your program a try. What the heck, if it didn't work then I would have blown my money on something else from GNC. The problem with my training in the past was that I didn't eat enough. I thought the only thing that I needed was protein with little carbs. Boy was I wrong. My arms are no longer like toothpicks, I am getting some guns. I am starting to get that V-shape torso. It is unbelievable. I have a curved spine that has caused me great back pain in the past, but no longer. My back in solid and strong and I have not had ONE episode of pain since starting your program. Everybody keeps asking me questions and wanting to know what supplements I am taking. I just laugh. It is also funny when they see me eating and can't believe how I eat so much and look the way I do. Even my wife is amazed, now she is a believer.

I plan on recommending you to everybody I can. All I can say is I hope that everybody would give this program a try. I was a huge skeptic, even after the first week, but after that once I saw the results I knew you and your program was no joke or hoax.

Thank you so much and God Bless.

Hello Francesco!

One year and six months ago I purchased the MuscleNOW program, but unfortunately I've not been able to consistently follow this great program for that period of time. I've been on and off, but on long enough to realize that every muscle building goal will turn into reality with this program. IT WORKS!!! (Guess you already knew that...)

Wow, what a program. For close to 10 years, have been trying to "bulk up." Like you, I have tried everything from weight gain powders to extreme diets only to be left with thin arms and a thick belly. With the help of your program, that has all changed. This year brings with it my fortieth birthday gladly celebrated because I am in the best shape of my life. I catch myself being startled when reaching for something and my bicep brushes against my chest, very cool. Or, when the local "muscle head" ask if I'm on juice.

Thanks for those moments.

Weight 132 to 139 pounds
Left Bicep: 10.25 to 10.75 inches
Right bicep: 10.25 to 10.87 inches
Chest: 33 to 34 inches

Very pleased with the above. Never expected these sort of gains in 2 weeks. Thanks a lot, and I look forward to more gains in the future!

An Update From Jacob

I was browsing around some bodybuilding sites and I recommended you and your site to a natural bodybuilding site where the author "claims" that you can only put on 1 - 1.5 inches in a year, and I told him proudly that with your program I've put on just over 1 inch in 5 and a half weeks with no drugs/supplements!!!!

It's hilarious really - so many preach the wrong info. One site I came across said 20g was enough protein for each meal with 6 meals per day - and then the author claimed that only 10 pounds of lean mass could be gained in one year! Most bodybuilding programs seem to limit themselves; by making it easier, they make it harder in the long run.

Thanks for all the advice and the great book. I look forward to even more gains.

Today 3 days away from the end of this first cycle I am at my heaviest I have ever been. I hit 147 lbs this morning. My arms are up a good 1/2'', my chest is up too. Legs are a full inch bigger at least, and I can't say enough about my back and traps. This is just a brief thing i wanted to let you know, as I really plan on sending you a technical update including actual before and after measurements and maybe some pics in the future because i really want 4 or 5 cycles, six months or so to pass so I can really brag about my gains. I'm really, really excited as each week passes because I can't wait till I hit a year or so following your course. I'm glad you provided me a solid foundation for me to build on, as I was just tired of hitting the gym not knowing what I was doing and actually wasting my time for the minimal gains. Now I go and I know I'm not wasting any time. I know I'm growing as fast as humanly possible versus the average person in a gym getting minimal gains every six months or so. I know you've heard this a thousand times but thank you very much Francesco for this course and laying out the foundation I needed. I found it very simple to read and understand, by the way. All of this has me more motivated than ever as these gains are almost unreal to me for 6 weeks.

Once again thank you Francesco.

Amazing improvements with almost 3 full months of going 2 to 3 times a week to the gym (it's better for me than 5). A few people have accused me of Juicing up! lol They comment that its impossible to grow that huge with so little training and in such a minuscule period of time . Also , the fact that every single week, my strength increases! Just amazing! I feel like I 'm on Steroids . . seriously. I mean, the Strength is unimaginable. Your program truly is the NATURAL Steroid! It's quite frightening How big I am getting! The Chest is Ripped and Very large + the Traps and back muscles are huge because of those shrugs. I still dont understand how everyday I am getting More Muscular and heavier . . every day ! I mean the arms & the chest, shoulders, traps and so forth are all so Large . . Quite Incredible.

I just wanted to drop you line and thank you for your program. I've been on it for just over a year and have gained strength, weight, and most importantly size. I've gained approx. 20 lbs of mostly muscle and it keeps climbing! I've been asked several times,"What are you taking?" And it feels great to say, "nothing!" Thanks again and keep up the good work!

An Update From Scott

Francesco,

It's been sometime since I've emailed you with my progress using your extraordinary MuscleNOW program. I hope all is well with you. I began your program 7 years ago and was astonished with the results it gave me. I am a "hardgainer" and for years I struggled to gain any size. I tried all the latest supplement that came out, and nothing worked as it claimed to add size. When I stumbled onto your website by chance, I read the promises and figured I've got nothing to lose, as I was spending the same amount of money on supplements anyway. After following the diet and workout plan pretty much to the letter, I gained the strength and size I was so desperately seeking.

The increased strength unfortunately made me greedy. One day while working back and triceps, without my usual workout partner and spotter, I injured my shoulder. And like most devoted lifters, I tried to continue lifting with my injury. This lead to some bad tendonitis in my shoulder/upper bicep area that totally crushed me. I lost all the confidence I had gained. This on top of other issues in my life, forced training to the back burner where it stayed for two years. But I'm happy to say, that I gained a new drive to return to the gym, and get back the almost 30 pounds I gained using MuscleNOW the first time. Yea, almost 30 pounds! I started your system at roughly 163 and was 190 when I was injured. I lost 20 pounds of that during my off time, and am determined to get every pound back harder and trimmer then before! That's why I have decided to return to the MuscleNOW system. I'll keep you posted on my progress, and thanks again for all the support you have provided through you emails, it's always good to know you are there!

Hi there Francesco. I measured yesterday for the fist time and found I have gained half an inch on each bicep and half an inch on my chest. HALF AN INCH!! Other people have told me that this size gain is only possible over a series of months while I have achieved it (thanks to your book) in a couple of weeks. If these sorts of gains are consistently possible I am going to be HUGE. Thanks again mate for your great book and all your help. Also my wife thanks you for your suggestions on weight loss and is currently putting them to use.

I think more people need to be educated in this very confusing area. I see so many people, even experienced lifters, who have terrible form, don't know what to eat and worst of all buy crappy supplements (by the bucket load). I only have one worry -- someone from my gym may buy your great book and end up getting as big as fast as me! Thanks again mate and talk to you soon.

An Update From Shane

Well measuring time has come around again and I am proud to say that I have put ANOTHER quarter inch on each bicep and over 1 inch on my chest. I have had a half inch increase in waist size put this is minor compared to my arm growth. I have noticed a nice big vein running up my bicep and hope to see more of it in the future. thanks mate, your program works.

Another Update From Shane

Just had to tell you that when I started 7 weeks ago I could bench 75 kilos, but this morning I cranked out 3 sets of 4 at 110 kg!!! That's all for now.

Hi Francesco,

I've just completed my first cycle, it was grueling. I managed to gain about 8.5 pounds, I can't wait to start over. Every body part has gotten stronger & fuller. Thank You for this program.

An Update From Samuel

I got a very good compliment last weekend. Myself and some friends went to a batting cage to hack around. When it came to my turn I thought of taking off my sweater, so it would give me more mobility when swinging. Though I was wearing a tank top underneath my friends said wow....look at your biceps, chest and back! I was a little embarrassed and said leave me alone. During my at bat they kept on looking and commenting. One guy said Sam, I'm starting to feel motivated again.....That was the best comment of all.

I've now gained about 10 or 11 pounds. My goal is to gain another 15 pounds maximum then just eat and workout to maintain. Delts have really improved, and I'm starting to see the "V" shape of my back. Thanx for listening and the great program.

Another Update From Samuel

Things are excellent with my diet and training (196 lbs. at 7.5% body fat -- test done by electrodes). My goal was to reach 200, but I think I look really good at my current weight; I'm trying to maintain this build rather than gaining.

It was really funny when I went to this gym, the guy doing my fitness evaluation asked me if I was getting ready for a show...I told him that this is purely done for aesthetics. Even a couple of guys that asked to work in with me happened to ask how I got like this. I could not believe my ears!!!!!!! It got so ridiculous that someone wanted to pay me.....I told him that I'm actually working on a system derived by someone I have never met. I gave him your email address, but I didn't get his name for referral purposes.

Thank you for everything,

I wanted to thank you for your information, it has proved incredibly valuable. I actually bought your book about 4 years ago but had not gotten serious about it until this year. It's been 2 weeks since I started and I've gained 7 pounds. I was at 157lbs and now 164lbs. I've gone from 11.5 inches on my arms to 12. Although my goal is not to get "big", I have even more confidence that your program will get me there in an incredibly short time. Everyone around me is already noticing the change, just imagine 5 or 6 weeks from now!!!

I have been seriously bodybuilding for 2 years now and in the last 6 I have put on more size than I have in the last year. My arms have increased by 1/2 inch, my quads have increased by 1 inch, my calves by 1/2 inch and my chest by 1 inch, while only gaining 1 inch around my waist. My weight has increased from 158lbs to 172lbs. My strength has increased every week and some weeks were a dramatic change. My max squat used to be 315lbs for 1 rep now I can squat that same weight for 4 reps. To anyone considering this course I highly recommend it. I am now starting my 2nd cycle and I can't wait for the results.

An Update From Derek

I have still been receiving phenomenal gains while using your program. Since the last time I emailed with my results in mid Oct. I have went from weighing 175lbs to 188lbs. I have gained another half inch to my arms and all my measurements have been increasing steadily and I am very impressed. My legs are getting so big that I can't even fit them into most of my pants anymore and my legs are still rock hard with no fat gain on them.

Another Update From Derek

How's it going? My training has still been going great I am still making good gains as well. I am 197lbs now.

Thank you and God Bless,

Francesco,

I just want to say thank you for everything you have provided with your MuscleNow program. I have just completed my 10th week of your program, and I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am with my results.

I am 40 years old, and began weight training again about 4 years ago. I had always kept myself in decent shape, but my wife always wondered what I was actually doing at the gym since my body never really changed that much. I followed other online programs, drank protein shakes, and received pointers from everybody at the gym, all for naught, so I was somewhat skeptical about your program. Boy, was I wrong.

What I found was a program that was flexible and easy to follow. It was amazing, but as I was reading the training manual I would have a question, and it was covered in the next paragraph. My results to date are:

Before Starting
Weight: 188 pounds
Waist: 35 inches
Biceps: 14 inches
Chest: 42 inches

Week 10
Weight: 194 pounds
Waist: 33.5 inches
Biceps: 15.5 inches
Chest: 44 inches

Along with these changes have come increased strength in all areas. Thanks again for everything.

Dear Francesco,

First I would like to congratulate you on a very well written book. There is alot of valuable info and you have laid it out in a format that is very easy to read and enjoyable to read.

It has been alot of hard work for me but you also should be congratulated. I have always considered myself a hard gainer. I naturally have a lean body style low body fat, fast metabolism. Growing up I despised being called skinny. I never thought I could put on real muscle weight. With your program I have gone from 161 pounds to 180 pounds in two full cycles (12 weeks). I have gained 1-1/2" on each arm and 3" on my chest. All of my strength has gone up in every single exercise. Thanks for a great program.

An Update From Thaddeus

On your program I'm the strongest and the biggest that I’ve ever been. Many relatives have been complimenting me and embarrassing me by calling me Schwarzenegger and saying I look like a Chippendale. But thanks to your program my efforts have been working.

Dear Francesco,

I am starting my 3rd week on the program today, so that means yesterday I took my two week measurements. I gained almost three pounds and it must have been muscle, because I lost 1/4 of an inch around the waist. I gained 1/4 inch on my biceps and almost an inch on my chest. My caliper reading went down 2mm!!! To top it off, I'm eating like a horse, all good foods of course.

I started the Muscle Now program when I was six weeks into the body for life program. So I have some before pictures from when I started BFL; however, there was little change in the six weeks. I believe I have made more progress in two weeks on the Muscle Now program then six weeks on BFL.

I can not deny the discipline that I have gained from BFL; however, your program puts it all together in a winning way. You also add an aspect of getting in shape that the others lack, and that is your focus on Jesus Christ.

I am looking more muscular than I have ever looked in my life. In addition to how I look to myself, others have noticed the improvements.

An Update From Randy

I am beginning my seventh week on the Muscle Now program and I am so impressed with my results. Two weeks ago I upped my food intake and the results are in!! I gained six pounds, added almost 1/4 inch on my biceps, and added 1 inch around my chest.

Since I have started the program I have gained nine pounds, added about 1/2 inch to my biceps, and added two inches around my chest, all while keeping my waist essentially the same (I lost a little in the waist then added a little when I upped my food intake, the loss and gain in the waist was 1/4 inch). Over all my body is improving quite a bit. I almost don't know how to act when I see my reflection in the mirror.

I want to thank you again for doing all the research and publishing your Muscle Now program. I continue to be impressed with the results, as are my parents and family.

Thank you and God Bless,

Well I just finished my first cycle, and for somebody who had no idea about working out, plus not following the program properly for the first three weeks, I have experienced gains. I have written to you in the past couple of weeks because I wasn't experiencing any major gains, but I realized that I wasn't using the program correctly and I would like to thank you for your patience in clearing some points out for me. My biceps have increased 7/8 inch and my chest has also. You said it like it is and you lived up to your promises. I can't thank you enough.

I have a 3 month update. First of all, I think that i have got my moneys worth. I have gained approx. 16 pounds, and gained almost 2 inches on my biceps and 3 inches on my chest. Im still trying to reach my goal to clear 151 by the end of the summer and that will mark the end of the muscle mass cycle. My workouts are getting more intense. Well, thats all i have for today, thanks for the support these past months.

Im glad to know that i found a routine thats not too difficult, and shows results. Your program would be great for high school sport teams. Parents wouldnt have to worry because their kids arent taking any supplements that could harm them, and they would be eating healthier. parents are always trying to push their kids to eat better these days, especially mine. thanks for everything.. adios

Francesco!

I would just like to say, I'm ending my third week on your program - and WOW! Not only am I loving the eating plan, but it has re-energized my workouts.

Just for the record, I have seen more muscle and size gain, and more fat loss in the last three weeks, than I did in 12 weeks on the Body for Life program. In addition, I have stopped wasting money on supplements and have found that you were absolutely right about how these products are such a rip off.

To be honest, I did not anticipate these kind of results, so I did not take a "before" pic. The only pic I have is the before pic I took as I started BFL, twelve weeks before I started your program. The changes from the BFL program were not much to brag about and my appearance was not much different from when I started, so I didn't even take an "after" pic. Having explained all that, I now wish I had - because my body is changing so fast!

Thanks so much for putting your "stuff" out there, it has changed my life.

Again, I can't even begin to express how much I love this program - I will never approach eating or working out the same again.

Here are some measurement changes over a 3 week period while following your program. Remember that I am 39 years of age:

Waist ---- 32 3/4 inches to 33 inches
Chest ---- 38 inches to 39 1/4 inches
Rt Biceps ---- 13 3/8 inches to 14 1/8 inches
Lft Biceps ---- 13 1/4 inches to 14 inches

Thanks again, this program is the real thing!

Francesco,

I FINALLY started going full force on MuscleNow about three weeks ago with the full range of exercises and following the diet exactly and I've been having great results. I added 3/4" on my arms in my first week, lost 1 1/4" off my waist in a week and a half, I'm lifting 5-10lbs more on each exercise every 3 days consistently and my legs have gained so much mass that I outgrew 4 or 5 pairs of pants... all in my first 3 weeks of doing EXACTLY what you said. :)

Thanks for everything, Francesco!

Francesco,

I've been using the program now for 2 months. My job (active duty U.S. Army) prevents me from being able to follow the dietary requirements to the letter, but the results have still been awesome.

My arms were stuck at 17 3/4" for 6 YEARS (no kidding), and after 2 months on your program, they are just over 18 1/2" now, plus 10 lbs of lean mass. I'm lucky if I can eat every 4 hours, let alone every 3 hours. I usually get 5 hours of sleep at night, 6 or 6 1/2 on a good night.

Great program- in fact, it's unequaled.

Francesco,

I finished my first cycle Friday and thought I would update you on the results. I gained a total of eleven pounds, added 1 inch to each flexed arm, and 1.7 inches to my relaxed chest measurement. However, my waist also grew 2", but with only a 3 1/2 mm increase on the caliper (8 to 11.5mm). Strength skyrocketed from week one to the final week as well, adding over 40 lbs. to the Bench Press and about 60 lbs. to the Squat. But much of this, of course, was muscle learning. But overall, I am very pleased. I can truly say, that your course was all I hoped it would be, and my results all I had expected--maybe more. I have achieved more in the last 6 weeks with yours and God's help, than I had in the last year of genuine training--without proper knowledge and combination of techniques. And I work in the fitness field! It goes to show how important it is, to humble yourself, and listen to someone who has been where you want to go. God bless you.

An Update From Tom

To date, after two cycles on your program (3 months) I gained 16 pounds (174 to 190), and 1 1/2 inches on my arms and a little more for chest. I added 65 lbs. to my squat and 50lbs. to my bench with the other exercises in proportion. And I should add, my gains have attracted considerable attention. It's kind of funny. Prior to receiving your course I had labeled myself a hardgainer--now I realize, I just wasn't eating or training in the best way for gains. Thanks again for all your help.

Francesco,

I ordered Muscle Now and started the program 5 weeks ago. Since then I have experienced excellent results and have gained just over 10 pounds of muscle without gaining body fat. I am 41 years old and have been weight training for over 25 years. Somewhat like you, I was a skinny high school kid that bulked up from 130 lbs. to 195 lbs. with a lot of muscle and a fair amount of fat as well. I began body building in my early 20's and lost the fat and was a muscular 170+ lbs.

Over the last 10 years or so since I got married and my wife and I had children, I've struggled with finding the time and desire to work out using my "old" workouts. Even when I was able to workout consistently, I was finding it difficult to build and keep the same muscle mass that I used to have when I was in my 20's. I assumed that it was just part of the aging process, and that I would have to resort to using "steroid-like" supplements in order to gain muscle mass as I got older (which I did not want to do).

I am extremely confident since I started your program that I will be able to put on as much lean muscle mass as I wish. Without giving away your "secrets," the keys to your program are: 1.) your method of varying the workouts so that your muscles can't adapt and stop growing; 2.) your unique, common sense approach to nutrition; and 3.) a well thought-out group of exercises/workouts that provide the right amount of direct and indirect stimulation to each muscle group on different days. Due to my travel schedule, I have not been able to completely follow your training and nutrition completely, but I was able to modify it easily to fit my schedule. Even with the modifications, I've gained roughly 2 pounds per week - and just over 10 pounds total.

For anyone considering buying "MuscleNOW" that are skeptical like I was, I will attest that the training methods and nutrition truly do work and are worth the money. Thanks for an excellent program, Francesco, and good luck!

I hit 170 pounds. For 4 years after college I was still stuck at 155-160 and for the past 6 months, I couldn't get over 165. And in 2 1/2 weeks of your program, I put on 5 pounds!! Wow.

An Update From Daniel

I went to Philly to see a buddy of mine who I hadn't seen in a while. He takes one look at me and is like, "what are you doing in the gym? You're huge." It was great to hear a compliment like that. I really hadn't seen much progress in the last 3 years and the gym started to feel like a waste of time. Anyway, thanks again and talk to you soon.

Another Update From Daniel

Just wanted to send over a progress report - I'm through the first cycle with great results:

Left Bicep - 13.5" -> 14.25"
Right Bicep - 13.5" -> 14.25"
Chest - 37" -> 38.5"
Waist - 35" -> 35.5"
Weight - 167 lbs - approx. 172 lbs

This is the first time in years that I've stayed on a program for over 6 weeks.

Thanks for the help and we'll chat soon.

Francesco,

I wanted to give you an update that you can use on your website. I am a doctor of Family Medicine (MD) and am always looking for good programs I can recommend to my patients that need to get into shape. I was intrigued with your program when I found it on the Internet. I am a firm believer that proper diet and exercise are the key to physical fitness.

I just completed the first 6 week cycle of your muscle building program. In that short time I added one inch to each of my arms and an inch to my chest. With a little planning the diet is easy to follow. I recommend that users keep a record of meals they like that add up to their needed totals so that after a few weeks they can easily know what to eat and don't have to do any more figuring. They can continually add to their record to add meal variety.

I have found the principles to be sound and I appreciate the fact that the diet is based on common every-day wholesome foods and does not exclude entire food groups like some common fad diets. Keep up the good work. I'll keep you posted.

Francesco,

I have been working out for easily 15 years and have never seen results. I am now midway through my second cycle on your program, I've gained 10 pounds and am seeing serious changes. And so is everyone else. And get this. I'm 48 years old and a classic ectomorph (skinny). There is an enormous amount of information in your book and it all makes sense. You start to realize that it's not a mystery. And somehow, I don't know how, you have a way of actually getting through to people. There are a trillion books and plans on the market and I've never stuck with any of them longer than a month before I get bored or start to adapt and then the whole thing falls apart before I know it. I am coming up to 12 weeks on your program and I've never missed a workout or thought to alter your recommendations in any way. THAT'S an accomplishment!

Thanks for your help. Your program has been truly amazing.

Francesco,

I cannot tell you how many times in the past 10 weeks I have said to myself, "This is working."

I was a trainer and Nautilus facility manager in the mid-'80's which was a great education on form and discipline. My education ended there and it stood me in good stead for all these years. But I am now 45 years old. Metabolism has slowed and I am facing the years when muscle mass declines with testosterone levels. At the same time I disdain the steroid and supplement culture -- it's unnatural. And I am frustrated with the workout-of-the-month mentality of the current men's magazines -- too many contortions and not enough results.

So I went looking for a non-steroid program with a rational basis and found yours. In fact it was my birthday present to myself last November.

I am in week 5 of my second series of six week progressions of your program. I have missed just a handful of workouts. I have not been strict about diet except to improve balance of protein and carbs and to make sure not to miss any meals. My post workout meal is nothing more than a Carnation Instant Breakfast (an improvement over my favorite breakfast -- peanut butter crackers and a Coke!).

I weigh in every Sunday morning and find that a pattern has developed. Fat gain has stopped cold -- in fact, I've lost a pound and a half of fat. More important, I've gained a half pound of lean mass EVERY WEEK since we began. That's five and a half pounds of lean mass, so far. I am proud of this steady and noticeable improvement. My shirts feel a little tighter around the sleeves, my torso muscles cast shadows that I've never seen and my leg muscles begin to show "bellies" not seen for years. I'm not massive nor headed for competition. But I notice the difference and like it. And at an age when most of my counterparts expand around the middle, get shorter of breath and lose lean mass, I can finally bench my weight, I'm confident of my fitness and I'm growing bigger where I want to.

All of that to say, thanks.

Hi Francesco,

First I'd like to express my content with your method of diet and training. I ordered your book and started training/dieting according to your scheme beginning five weeks ago. I've in total trained for about 16 years, and never experienced a training scheme which stays interesting and motivating through the constant variation which it incorporates.

Since now it brought me about 4 kilos extra weight without adding waist size or fat, as far as I can judge, while muscle has increased.

I've only just finished my first cycle and I flexed my back to ask my wife how it's looking. She sounded totally shocked and almost laughing saying, "WOW you should see your back Brett!! It almost looks freaky!!" She was referring to the muscle size of course. She took some pics on our digital and I also said WOW!! That's awesome to see the results- I just don't see my back too much and want to improve the gains in the muscles I do see in the mirror.

Your program is awesome and I look forward to working it more. Your system definitely works.

I just wanted to tell you that I have been following you program for 4 weeks and people are noticing a difference. After Jui Jitsu training I took my shirt off and one of my buddies asked if I have been hitting the weights hard. That was pretty cool!

The best complement I have received is from my wife, I told her that I have gained about 4 pounds and she said that my body fat still looks low. That was great coming from her because she sees me ever day. The program definitely works!

An Update From Rudy

I have been using your program from a few months and I wanted to let you know that I am still getting results. I saw one of my cousins and he made a funny comment to me. It was something like this, " How the roids doing? Looks like they are working." I just laughed to myself. This made me feel good. Your program is still working.

Mr. Castano,

How are you doing? I'm really enjoying the program. I'm in week 4. I got my first compliment last weekend. i was in Chucky Cheese with my brother, his kids and mine. A lady walked up to me and just stared at my arms. I thought it was because my son cut her off while walking. She said it wasn't she was just admiring the size and shape of my arms. And she grabbed them. I never had anything like that happen before. I can't wait until the summer at the pool. I know if I stay true to the program and will get many more to tell you. Thanks.

FYI: I have gained 1.5 inches in my arms and 6 inches in my chest. my bench has gone from 110 lbs up to 180 lbs. and that is how much I weigh. that was a big accomplish for me to be able to bench 100% of my body weight. later

I thought I'd drop a line just to let you know that after only the intro phase and the first week of the muscle building phase I've broken plateau after plateau. Just before i started the program, I could reach around my thighs with both hands and touch my fingers and thumbs; now there is at least a 1 to 2 inch gap between my thumbs if my fingers are touching! I haven't taken formal measurements of my legs but the simple test I performed in the shower this morning (out of pure curiosity) proved to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that your program works! Know I'm very curious to see what my measurements in my upper body are at the start of the third week. Thank you so much!

An Update From James

I'm still making gains. I've gained about an inch and a half in my chest (in one week!) up to 40.5", and fractions of inches in every other measurement. Another great gain is my overall strength, I'm still very impressed as to how fast I'm able to increase weights 5 to 20 lbs with no problem!

Thanks again for all your help.

Another Update From James

I'd like to update you on my progress. I've completed my first cycle and only missed two workouts. My gains were very impressive. In measurements i gained at least 8 inches total. My sister that I see only once a week would note every week that i look bigger and more muscualr every time she saw me. My muscles are definitely more shapely and toned than before. In 6 weeks I gained more than a few years gave me before. In 6 weeks I broke plateau after plateau. My strength has skyrocketed! I went from benching 135 to 175 lbs! My goal is to bench 225 before the summer ends! My arms are also incredibly strong compared to what the used to be. I am doing almost twice the weight I used to do in many exercises. The other great change is how i feel. The diet is great! When you start eating what your body wants, when it wants it, you feel so good. I am probably the healthiest person I know! Thanks again for all your help! Feel free to use this message in your testimonials if you wish, I know how important the testimonials are, they were the major factor in my investment in the muscle now program.

A Third Update From James

Its been forever since i'v written! I'v been insanly busy with school, and of course, working out! I thought i'd drop a quick line to let you know how i'v been doing with my prgress and a years progress. Last year at about this time when i started the program, I weighed about 155lbs at 6'1" tall. I know weigh 177 lbs and some change with 10% body fat. Pretty much ever muscle group is really improved and Body building/fitness has become so much more to me. I am student supervisor in my Colleges amazing new weight room, and I love helping people out in the gym, teaching them about proper nutrition, etc etc. I plan on really kicking it into high gear once this school year is out in a month or two and really packing on some substantial lean mass and cutting the fat back to around 5-7%. Thank you sooooooo much for getting me started in what i hope to be life full of proper nutrition and fitness, and helping others learn and reach their goals too!

Hi Francesco,

I'm on the workout plan and diet now 6 weeks so I thought I'd drop you a line and tell you how I'm doing. I've seen big gains in that time - in total my weight has gone up 15 pounds! Everyone I know has noticed big time and I have to say I'm very impressed myself and I have you to thank for cutting out the confusion out of gaining muscle. The vast majority of this weight gain seems to be lean muscle as I haven't gained much fat. My gains are as follows:

Weight (before) 146 (after) 161
Biceps (before) 13.5 - (after) - 14.5
Thighs (before) 20 - (after) - 21.75
Chest (before) 38.5 - (after) - 40.5
Waist (before) 30 - (after) 31.5

Your system does work!

An Update From Turlough

As for my gains - the last time I weighed myself I had put on 20 lbs. That was nearly 7 months ago! I don't have scales in the house so I must purchase some. Since then though I think I've put on at least another 8-10 lbs. Measurement wise - the following gains in the last 11 months

Starting weight 146 lbs - Approximate weight now at least 170 lbs
Neck (original) 15 in - now 15.5 in
Bicep (original) 13.5 in- now 15.5 in
Chest (original) 38.5 in - now 41.75 in
Waist (original) 30 in - now 31 in
Thighs (original) 20 in - now 22.25 in

Thanks again Francesco for everything - you've eliminated all the grey areas I had when it came to building muscle.

As you know I am a very skinny person with a substantial amount of body fat(150lb), and have been training/dieting without aerobics. I will have to tell you that I am kind of amazed at the current result and am excited to see more gains in the mere future.

Here's an update since last month that I've been on your program:

Body weight increased from 150lb to 155lb
Biceps have increased from 12in to 13in
Chest increased from 32in to 34in
Waist decreased from 36in to 34in
Flat Bench Press went from 100lb to 140lb
Incline from 75lb to 100lb
Barbell Curls from 50lb to 65lb
Deadlift from 190lb to 210lb
Squat from 190lb to 210lb

I have already had someone ask me at the Gym on how I'm achieving my results, which in turn was responsed by addressing your website. I want to inform people at the Gym to purchase and follow your Guidebook, but to convince others, I myself have to be established first. So, thank you for your advices and efforts and hope to send you updates with better results!

An Update From Anowar

I'm sorry to write to you so often, but I just have to update you on my latest achievements as I have never seen these kinds of results before.

I've recently changed to Plan D where I workout 3 times a week with intermissions in between and have noticed significant results in mass, weight & strength:

my weight increased from 155lb to 160lb
mass has increased overall in arms, chest, and legs

As far as strength, I've increased the following:

biceps from: 65lb to 75lb
leg curls from: 140lb to 160lb
lat pulldown from: 140lb to 150lb

Thanks for all the support!

Francesco,

This is Zack Phillips and I bought your book about five months ago, but due to wrestling season I just started the muscle building phase five weeks ago. I must admit that I am very pleased with the amazing results that you have given me and I'm going to try to promote this excellent program the best I can. I haven't been working out my legs because my knee has been bothering me for the last three years, but I thought it was minor. Then it really started bugging me this wrestling season so I decided to get an MRI after season ended because I didn't want to miss out on the season. The MRI results came back and it turns out that part of the lower part of my femur on my left leg is dead. They think that the bone died because of continual stress on the joint (probably from wrestling) witch caused the blood flow to stop going to the bone. So anyway the doctors but an immobilizer and I cant put any weight on it or even bend it for two months and I get my next MRI on May 2nd. But I didn't let that get me down. I have been working around the energy and I am getting unreal results on my upper body. I have just finished my 5th week on your program and I gained 10 pounds of pure muscle! I now way about 155 pounds and I gained on my biceps amazingly. Before this program both of my biceps were 14 inches and now they are both 14 5/8 inches. I never gained like that before and I thought I was a pretty buff dude before I got on this program, but I just gained over 1/2 inch on my Biceps in 5 weeks. My chest also had some huge gains. I started off with a 37 inch chest and now my chest is 38 3/4 inches, and I made these huge muscle gains without the ego dropping fat gains. My waist started at 30 inches and now it is 30 1/2 inches, so you can still see my six pack. I also had some really good strength gains. I started out benching 175 pounds and failing in between 4-7 reps but now I put 205 pounds and fail in between 4-7 reps. I feel great and I am very pleased with the results that I am getting. I was down at the mall the other day and I went into vitamin world and there was a natural body builder in there and now I think I am going to start body building once I get out of this cast thing and I get my legs up to strength.

I'm just telling you that you have my permission to put all of this on your website, and actually I would rather you do that because I want to help you out. I constantly get accused from fellow students at my school of Steroids use witch I'm not sure to take as an insult or just take as a complement, and I just tell them that I'm using the internets natural steroids and then I tell them that I'm on this unreal program and I give them the website.

So thanks again Francesco for this amazing program and God Bless.

Dear Francesco,

I bought your MuscleNOW manual when I was starting college. After reading through it I was extremely excited to get going. Unfortunately, self-discipline was the one critical thing I was missing back then. And since I was living in college residence with a 3-meal-a-day cafeteria and no kitchen available, there wasn't much hope of me eating enough, consistently. The next year when I went home brought a different problem: living in a rural area, there was no gym nearby and buying my own equipment didn't fit into my college-student budget.

This cycle continued until two years later, when I got a summer job at my collge and moved into an off-campus apparment (with a kitchen :) WOW! After only 4 weeks people at the gym that initially gave me that "wonder how long this skinny guy will last" look were commenting on how big my arms were getting! And the improvements were just as obvious in the mirror and to my friends. And to be honest, I did not stick with the program religously (on average I probably missed 1 session and 3-4 meals per week) I stuck with it for about 8 weeks (went from about 165 lbs to 190+ lbs of pure muscle) until school started again and a personal event caused me to lose focus.

Dear Francesco,

I just want to let you know that your book works!!!!!!!! There is NO doubt about it. Unfortunately, I do not have any photographs and I can't give you exact measurements (in inches). But this is the reason why I know your system works: All the people who I have not seen for several months and having meeting them right now, ask me similar questions about my body; questions and comments like "Are you taking steroids?", "wow, look at your arms -- someone's been working out!" and "what workout program are you using right now -- can you share it with me?".

The changes are most definitely visible. I do know that I gained 25lbs since I started your program in August and I know it is mostly muscle just based on what I'm seeing in the mirror and the reaction of my relatives and friends. Some people might say that this isn't much of a weight change, but I have to tell you that I have never ever experience a gain this much within one year. Most importantly, I got a lot stronger. Since I started your program, my Bench Press (maxing out) went from 205 lbs to 245 lbs.; I use to pull down 80 lbs 10 times. Now, I'm pulling down 110 lbs 12 times, and finally I was curling 50lbs 12 times, but now curling 70 lbs with the same weight. And guess what -- the amount of weight that I use to be able to lift were done with improper form (where I actually use different parts of my body to lift the weight). Now I'm lifting more weight with the proper form. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION! It basically means that I could be lifting a lot more if I continue to do the same improper form that I use to do. But of course I'm not going to do that :-)

Because of your program, I am more confident about myself. Like you, I thought I was genetically cursed, but now I have a different perspective. I hate to act immature, but I wish I can locate my old high school buddies who use to be so in love of themselves, so I can show them what's up.

Anyway, please continue what you're doing because you're making a lot of people's lives better.

Take care.

Hi Francesco,

It's been awhile since I have written but I'm still on your program and making incredible gains. I love lifting heavy and my body has definitely changed for the better. I am now at 180lbs with about 10% bf. I am aiming for 200lbs which with my hard work will eventually come. I am so thrilled to have found your book and recommend it to all my friends.

Thank you for you help Francesco.

All the best,

Hey Francesco,

I wanted to tell ya that I have been on the program for 2 weeks now and I have gained 7 pounds, half an inch on my biceps, full inch on my chest, and have remained the same in the waist. I kinda cheated there for a while on the weekends and missed some meals so I know I could have gained even more but I'm going to stay with the program till the end of summer, my goal is to get to 175lbs and I know that it is realistic with your program. I started at 135 and i'm at 142 starting the 3rd week now.

Thanks for all your help.

In Christ,

Adam Gray Loses 65 Pounds and Reduces Body Fat Percentage From 30% to 8% With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

My name is Adam Gray. I live just North of Pittsburgh, PA. I ordered your program back in January. Since the second week of January, I've lost 46 lbs. That is a lot, considering I'm a 22 year old guy, and I'm naturally bulky.

Right now, I look the best I have, in my entire life, thanks to your program, and my determination. It's not easy for a young party guy, to give up drinking, fast food, pop and chocolate... But I did.

An Update From Adam

I've been on your program for 1.5 years now, and I'm looking and feeling great. I've lost a total of over 60 lbs last year and this last 6 months, I have been building muscle. Very impressed with your course, and my willpower. Just goes to show, that if you quit making excuses, you can do whatever you want... But, I don't have to tell you that. Actually to be precise I have lost 65 lbs, 254 lbs start down to 189lbs and still going. That was also a drop from 30% bodyfat down to 8%! It did not take an entire year either, I lost I believe the first 40 lbs. in like 8 months. About 2 months ago, before I increased my calories to gain some muscle, I was down to 189 lbs. -I haven't weighed 189, since probably my freshman year of high school, like 9 years ago. And I'm not talking about some fat-guy 189 lbs. I mean like 160 of those 189 are probably muscle.

And the real fun thing is, I lost the first 40 lbs, without even doing cardio and only kinda half-heartedly working out. I mean, I worked out 5 days a week, as per your plan, but I never increased weight on anything, I just lifted the same amount of weight for a whole year. I even had my mom just try the dieting part, without any working out, whatsoever, and she has lost 40 lbs. in 6 months! -And I mean, with zero lifting and zero cardio, just by eating right.

I was sooo skeptical when I bought your book, I was like, this is going to be such B.S. For the first month or two, I continued to think that I got ripped off, even though I did lose like 5 lbs. or so. However, after 6 months, I was singing a different tune.

I only very recently started taking any other supplement crap... And I say crap, because it is. I know I should just listen to you and your advice, but I had to buy into the hype and learn the hard way.

Your book really does lay it all out for everyone, and you tell it like it is. But, it is really ultimately up to the person reading it, to have the commitment and desire to change. But, thanks for being there. If not for your book, I'd still be me and probably reasonably happy. But, with your book, I am still me, and definitely very happy and confident! I am even planning on going back to college again, to get a second degree in Exercise Science, to become a personal trainer!

Thanks!

Adam Krasinski Loses 12 Pounds Of Fat
While Gaining 16 Pounds Of Muscle!

I've purchased many different workout regimens and diet plans in the past, however, NONE of my previous purchases let achieve quite what I wanted. Some would help me bulk up but not really lose fat, some would help me tone but end up costly me muscle. I've been working out for about 15 years now and don't really have a problem putting on muscle but staying lean has always haunted me (never had more then a 4-pack). 2 years ago I came across this book and decided to give it a go. After 4 months, I was transformed. I could start to see the all the muscle strands in my shoulders and arms flexing and twitching even when on my off days. Most importantly, for the first time in my life, I not only had a 6, but an 8-pack! I had bumps all over me! AND while I actually put on muscle! When I started this program, I had a bodyfat % of around 14...in four months, it dropped to 7! I went from 190 lb of soft skin to 195lb of rocksolid. I only gained 5 total pounds but if you take those numbers, I lost about 12-13 lb of fat and gained around 16-17 lbs of muscle. I don't know what I was doing wrong but I thank Musclenow for teaching me. Im so glad I spent the money on this book....knowing then what I know now....I would have spent $1,000 on it. If you follow EVERYTHING he tells you to do, from the diet to the workout to the intensity, the results are AMAZING!

Finally Ripped,

49 Year Old Mike Dunning Loses 5 Inches Of
Stomach Fat & Enhances Vascularity
With MuscleNOW!

Francesco:

Here are my measurements after one week:

Before
Weight - 178
Waist - 40"

Today, after one week on MuscleNOW
Weight: 175
Waist : 38"

My waist is my biggest problem area; I measured my waist around the belly button relaxed - even if I hold it in it only goes down to 37 "- I tend to carry fat internally instead of on the surface like most folks - I actually have the beginnings of a 6 pack - with a pad of fat under the abdominal wall. My arms and legs have become very vascular. I will send you pics, before and after once I finish my first 6 week cycle.

I will also send you my gains in weight lifting - although I do not lift nearly as much as some of your other clients, I have increased even over this week and a half - for example - I have gone from using 45 lbs dumbells to 60 lb in my flat bench presses.

And one more thing - I will be 50 in January.

Thanks for your advice.

5 Week Update From Mike

Francesco:

here are my results after week 5:

Weight - 169 - have lost 9 lbs since starting
waist -35 down 1 inch and 5 inches total
fat 8%

I am a teacher and needed to buy some clothes for work - I am suddenly very hard to fit for sport coats - fit tight in the chest and arms and loose everywhere else - decided to wait before buying anything like that - but fit into most anything else though.

Thanks for your help.

58 Year Old Losing Fat While Building Muscle!

Francesco

Until just before my 50th birthday, I probably would’ve been voted the guy least likely to ever set foot in a gym. Lifting, grunting, sweating--- no thanks, not for me.

But reaching the half-century mark was a wake-up call, so I decided I’d better join a gym and get in shape. I was slender, a little bit skinny fat, as you call it, and had zero muscle. I wasn’t trying to get bulked and bigger really, just wanted to stay healthy and look more toned.

Things were going mostly okay. I was definitely seeing some small results , but it wasn’t enough. I was looking for more, so I turned to books and the Internet for advice. Lots of material about sets, reps, exercises, cardio, free weights vs. machines etc. The more I read, the more confused I became. I would still go to the gym wondering if I was doing the right things. After all, I’d suffered a nasty partial biceps tear from doing heavy bicep curls as my first exercise time after time, without even a warmup. Clearly I didn’t know what I was doing.

Then a trip to buy a suit led to a surprise when the tailor needed to let out the waist an inch and a half. Hold on, I thought, I’m going to the gym five days a week and he has to make the waistband larger? This was not good.

Enter Francesco Castano and the MuscleNOW program. I’d seen lots of other sites making promises, but something about his approach seemed genuine. It wasn’t cheap, but with a money back guarantee, I decided there was very little risk, so I signed on.

Well, I definitely made the right choice. Which exercises to do? Covered. Sets and Reps? Explained. Fat loss, food choices? Great details.

He takes the time to explain it all completely. He even builds flexibility into every area-- cardio, diet and strength training, so most people should be able to get what they need. He promises to respond to every email question, and he always does, very quickly.

I’d read that you can’t lose fat and build muscle at the same time. I think that means you can’t build massive amounts of muscle while losing fat, but if your goal, like mine, is to tone up, then muscle and fat loss seem to go together nicely.

I’ve even gotten some nice compliments at the gym, from serious muscle guys who know what they’re talking about.

My clothes still don’t fit. But now, the pants are too big.

Dave Ballentine Loses Fat While Gaining Muscle Mass!

Morning Francesco,

How are you?

Im now in Week 4, and I've lost 1" from my Waist, Lost 2mm on the Bodyfat Calipers, added 1" to my Chest and for the first time ever I' ve added approx 1/2" to each Arm !!

It was difficult for me to change my mindset and get out of old training habits using 3 sets, 8~10 reps with 5 or 6 different exercises per bodypart, but now I realise that using the right exercises, cycling the number of sets and combining this with the correct diet makes all the difference.

I have recently started a BsC University Course in Chiropractic, so in the next few years we will spend a lot of time learning about Nutrition and Exercise, so we can pass this knowledge on to our clients to help them improve posture or muscular strength, and also reduce bodyfat. This is a purely Holistic therapy which focuses on assisting the body in healing itself without the need for dangerous antibiotics/drugs (similar to your system in many ways!!)

Although I have several years until I graduate, I do hope that when the time comes maybe we can have a discussion to see if we could organise some way of recommending your system to my future clients?

Have a good weekend and thanks again for your help.

An Update From Dave

Now in week 9, still growing, even if it's a little slower than during the first few weeks, and best of all im still dropping bodyfat (approx 1mm on the calipers every 2~3 weeks) and my weight is staying around 90kg so im obviously gaining muscle mass, very happy with the results so far and feeling healthy.

Jerry McKenna Loses 9 Inches Of Stomach Fat While Increasing Muscle Size In The Chest, Arms and Legs With MuscleNOW!

Hi Francesco,

I purchased your program about a year ago and it has changed my life! I have always been looking for a way to gain weight. Before I got your program I was spending over $200.00 a month on weight gainers and other supplements in order to try and gain weight. For the most part it made the numbers on the scale go up, but it also brought my waist size to 40 inches.

Since I have been on your program I have lost 9 inches of fat from around my waist, and I have increased the size of my chest, arms and legs with new muscle.

I never realized how important diet was or for that matter the proper training techniques you have taught me. The best part of the whole program is, if I have a question I can email you and usually get an answer in 24 hours.

Thanks so much!

Jerry Tubbs Loses 50 Pounds And Improves Health With MuscleNOW!

Francesco

First I've got to brag about your program. I started it earnest 16 months ago. Since then I have lost 50 pounds (265 down to 215) on my 5'11 1/2" frame. Due to my work and family obligations, I'm on your 3 times per week regimen, lifting Monday and Wednesday nights from about 7PM to 8:30PM typically, and again on Saturdays, either late morning or early afternoon. Your diet and exercise plan has helped me bring my cholesterol numbers that were in the 200's down to 166 at last count, and my body fat % is down from 43% to the low 20's. I'm a walking commercial for your approach.

Also, my son (age 15) has been working out with me for about a year. He had only about 20lbs to lose, and he is very well defined and muscular thanks to your program, and is enjoying his new image immensely! Thanks!

Bruce Faierson Loses 40 Pounds In 4 Months
With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I thought I would keep you informed of my progress with your program and please feel free to use anything I say or any ideas that I express as an endorsement of your program.

Using weights to manipulate weight up or down or to tone up has been known for a long time by an elite few it seems. Bruce Randall, former Mr. Universe in the 60's used it to bulk up to 450 lbs to set weight lifting records in the US and then used weight training to turn himself around and into a Mr. Universe quite like yourself. Of course he didn't explain exactly how he did it and I didn't put it all together until 30 years later as I read the doctor's article and stumbled on your course by accident looking for his article as it disappeared off the Microsoft web-site within an hour of my seeing it. Talk about destiny, if I hadn't seen it in that short time-frame I would never have accidentally seen your course.

What I didn't tell you from below, is that I'm 49 and was at least 80 plus pounds overweight and that's a real problem. So what have I accomplished using your course so far? In less than two months, minus a week for a business trip to Atlanta, I've lost 12lbs without really dieting. What I mean by that is I've not restricted my eating other than cutting fats and excess sugars. I've also reduce the intake of carbonated beverages too but that's another issue. I'm not starving myself and am trying to eat 5 times a day with larger portions toward the beginning of the day and lesser amounts toward the end of the day.

Let me add to this that I haven't been a saint here and still go out on Friday and drink a pitcher of beer and eat pizza. Sorry, it's my little perk for being a good boy at this point.

So much of what you say in your book I've read in bits and pieces over many years. Your book has it all and is condensed and is right there staring you right in the face. There is nothing to dispute as you've done your homework well. I've done everything from starving, dieting, running several miles a day and more but never approached the results that I have here. Oh, I've been able to take off massive weight in a short period of time but not without paying a serious price in not only feeling terrible, mood changes etc. I'm feeling stronger every day now, and it's not just the weight loss but the muscle increase and the reduction of fat masses. As I get closer to my target weight and get closer to following 100% of your program, I will send you a before and after photo which you can use to inspire the older groups. Believe me, it inspires me to continue with your program after looking at my latest photos. I may actually have lost more than 12 lbs. as I didn't start weighing until after I started the program so don't know an exact weight from the starting point.

An Update From Bruce

Just a short update on progress. I've now lost 40 lbs in 4 months! Not by starving either as I'm eating about 5 times a day and just eliminated the stuff like those famed golden arches type fatty meals, oops I meant happy meals. Still have a day to enjoy anything I want plus the old pitcher of beer. I guess we all have our weaknesses! I might mention that I've been traveling for 3 weeks out of the last 2 months and ate out during that period of time at least twice a day.

I've dropped 4 sizes so far and it's really been noticed by co-workers both in Chicago and Atlanta plus relatives and friends. What will really be interesting is seeing people that I haven't seen in 6 months or more. By the time a year goes by, on your program, I'll bet most people won't recognize me. When I get to that point, I'll send you a before and after shot and you may use it as you like. It's already had an amazing effect on me and I'll bet by the time I get done that I'll look better than I did in high school and that was pretty decent. I met my daughter's softball coach a couple times and when I saw him again a few weeks ago he just looked at me and tried to figure out who I was.

I'm giving everyone I know interested in physical fitness your website address and hope that they will follow through with it and buy your course. You deserve to do well with this. If people can get rich by selling donuts and other junk food then I hope someone can do the same by selling a method to good health.

I've generated interest with many people interested in getting in better shape after they've seen what I've accomplished and we'll see if they follow through. I'm getting closer and closer to going 100% to your program but the weight loss and slow training was necessary to get me into better shape. I have been changing every 3-4 weeks now between faster training and back to slower training.

Thanks for everything and will get back to you again after 6 months.

Douglas Lawrence Loses 45 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Francesco

I've dropped 45 pounds since I started your program and I almost have my abs showing! Thank you so much for your help! I just got the roll of film developed and almost cried when I saw my "Before" picture. I couldn't believe that I looked like that!! And to think people told me I was in "good shape" and that I was "just a big guy". Pictures don't lie or worry about hurting your feelings like people and friends do. I know that you are modest and always give credit back to me or any course member that thanks you, but if it wasn't for you taking the time and the effort to find out the "real" way to eat and lift correctly to get in optimum shape with out the use of steroids, drugs, or fad diets and sharing it with the world, I or any of your course members would have never been able to do it. So, for that I am truly grateful to you, and have been directing people to your website telling them it's the best money I've ever spent.

Again, thanks!

In the year that i have done your program i have accomplished quite alot and have seen fabulous results.

50 Year Old Charlie Barber Loses 42 Pounds, Achieves 7% Body Fat, Defines Lower Abs & Arms, Improves Health Looks Better Than Ever!

Francesco,

I've been using your program for nearly one year. I recently turned 50 and hadn't had a physical in 3 yrs so this past Monday I got one. I got my lab reports yesterday. Last exam my total cholesterol was about 210 now it is 148, HDL is 54, LDL is 85, CHOL/HDLC Ratio is 2.74, my total PSA 1.2 and everything else tested just as good. My MD was pleasantly shocked and surprised, needless to say so was I. Your program is not only good for your outside but for your insides too.

I'm in better shape now at 50 than I was 25 years ago and bodybuilding wise have made improvements that I previously thought I was too old to make.

An Update From Charlie

Francesco, I thought I would update you on my recent progress. In 7 months I have lost 42 lbs. So last Friday, I went to a local health club for a fitness analysis. My blood pressure was 100 / 70, resting heart rate was 60 bpm., and my total body fat was 7%. My definition and vascularity are greatly increased ,my abs are now visible and I have separation between my delts and arms. My arms and lower abs look like a road map, and I have a vein about the size of a pencil that runs from my knuckle all the way up to my shoulders. I have surprised everyone and especially myself. I didn't think it was possible but I look and I am more fit at 50 than I was at 20. Your program coupled with a little patience, discipline and consistency works great. Thanks for all your help and encouragement.

Carlo Dominguez Loses Nearly 5 Inches Of Stomach Fat While Building Muscle!

Hi Francesco,

Man, you sure are the real thing, at the beginning I was skeptical about this program, you have deliver what you promise and for me that its big, am a man of my word and sure you are too. I started the course only doing cardio, I did 6 weeks cardio monitoring my heart rate like you said, 30 minutes a day 5 days a week, and now am on my 3 week with cardio and weights, I went from waist size 43" 1/4 to 38" 1/2, a whopping 4" plus inches off my fat belly, my arms got 1/4 inch bigger, and I feel like new, growing like a baby.

A lot of people contact me, I tell them the truth about your program, it's the best out there.

Thank you.

44 Year Old Michael Fultz Loses Nearly 30 Pounds Of Fat and Gains 1.5 Inches Of Biceps Size With MuscleNOW!

I'll be 45 years old on New Years Day, plus I have battled with extreme thyroid disease for years. I have been extremely hyperthyroid as well as extremely hypothyroid. I've had massive doses of radioactive iodine twice for the hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease), and that is what made me go hypothyroid. Now, I have a "dead" thyroid gland and need to take thyroid hormone daily and have to have blood tests done regularly for the rest of my life in order to stay on top of this. It's been a tough haul, but I have now made the commitment to put forth the effort and do your program in spite of it all.

I've said all of that to say this...I can only imagine what my results would be if I were younger and didn't have health issues. The MuscleNow program is truly a program that will work for anyone willing to put forth the effort to do it...regardless of age or health issues.

I have lost fat while gaining size and strength consistently throughout the first 6 weeks. I was a pretty good sized guy to begin with at 6' 1" and 247 lbs. But I was out of shape and some of that weight was fat, mostly around my middle. After 6 weeks of your program, my weight is down nearly 30 lbs (fat loss), and my pant size is down 2 inches to a 36" waist. My weight is now holding and the fat loss and muscle gain is noticeable on a daily basis. I don't really want to gloat about my numbers even though I'm quite proud, but a quick example of my gains is my biceps. I started with 15" biceps 6 weeks ago, and now sport an additional 1.5" on my upper arms. That example is indicative of my minimum gains overall. My chest, shoulders, back, arms, legs...you name it. There is muscle in places now where there wasn't even places before! And I"ve only just begun!!!!

I absolutely LOVE the program, and can hardly wait until I have several cycles under my belt. The results so far are nothing short of amazing! The program is EXACTLY what you said it would be!

Prior to starting the MuscleNow program I was already doing a heavy workout, but was actually overtraining and under eating. My results then were nowhere near the results I've gotten in just 3 weeks using your program. I'm so grateful that I found you when I was looking online for supplements. This is so what I needed!

I love working out, I love the MuscleNow program and best of all...I LOVE THE RESULTS! My advice to anyone that wants to make positive changes to their body, would be to get this program and make the commitment to start it and stick with it. The program is simple and very easy to understand. All you have to do is put forth the effort to do the workouts and follow the program, and you will see amazing results. Yes it does take effort, but the results speak for themselves! I am bigger and stronger in just 3 weeks with this program than I ever was with any other routine I have ever done...and I'm just getting going! I can only imagine how good I'm going to look after getting through several cycles, let alone a year from now. One of my co-workers asked me the other day if I was on steroids or what? Of course I was able to answer ABSOLUTELY NOT! But I took his question as a compliment nonetheless!

My lifting weights increase on a steady basis as well. Weight I was using for sets 6 weeks ago, I now use for warmups! It is VERY SATISFYING! Anyway, thanks again for your words of wisdom and experience, and thank you so much for the life changing program you call MuscleNOW!

Matthew Floyd Loses Fat While Building Muscle!

Hello Francesco,

Hope things are well for you!

I just wanted to let you know that your program has worked for me far better than I ever expected. I feel so bad that I didn’t take pics.. You wouldn’t believe the changes. I have never felt better. I used to drink about 2 liters of Mountain Dew every day and eat anything and everything that was loaded with sugar. Even harder to believe, is how I stopped craving the sugar! I never would have thought that I could eat this much and lose weight. I don’t like being hungry, but on this program, I NEVER felt hunger! Your program has not only changed my life, but my attitude as well.

I REALLY wish I would have taken pictures like I was told to through the book.

If anyone ever doubts your program, feel free to give them my e-mail address!

God bless you!

Im doing great as far as gains go.. Im just over 200 pounds with less body fat than I had at 193..

Walter J. Paleski Loses 6 Inches Of Stomach Fat While Building Muscle!

Hi Francesco

I have been following your course for about 11 weeks now and have seen unbelievable results. My waist went from 41 inches to 35, and I am bench pressing 225 lbs for 6 solid reps. I have been very consistent with my diet and exercise 5 days per week. I am 5'10", medium built, broad shoulders, and have gained a great deal of muscle size on my quads, biceps, and chest. I have never experienced these gains in the past because I was on a low fat high complex carb diet with very little protein.

My brother in-law has been working out 3-4 days a week for 4 years now. He currently loaded up on Creatine for the past year now and his muscles look real puffy. We are the same height and I worked out with him last weekend. He couldn't deal with the intensity nor could he bench press 225 for 3 reps without help!

There are a lot of skeptical people out there who are weary of ordering information off of the Internet (myself being one of them), but I had some knowledge of bodybuilding and a friend of mine had me convinced to start trying the EAS products before I stumbled across your web sight, and a lot of what you mentioned made sense. I am glad I ordered your program as you have been very helpful. You saved me $$$$.

In Two Weeks With MuscleNOW!

Answers and Results was what I was searching for and you have given them to me.

In two weeks I have lost 2 inches off of my waist and gained an inch on my arms. I personally have spent the last 6 years searching. In the last 6 years I have tried every diet, supplement and weight training plus cardio program to get a great body. I even spent a year working in a supplement store.

I am currently working on my degree in Exercise Science, but your information is just out there even talking to all of my lecturers with all the correct letters after their names. But they had no answers.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart for giving me answers and now results. If you could see now I have a smile from ear to ear.

Today makes 4 weeks I have been following the program and I have gained close to 3/4" on my arms, while losing more than 18 lbs. of fat!

I have been telling friends. Everybody keeps asking how I lost weight & gained muscle so quick. I share an office with another guy who claims he can see a difference each week. I have lost fat while gaining muscle at the same time!

Robert Lutgerding Loses 25 Pounds and
5 Inches Of Stomach Fat With MuscleNOW!

11 days ago I started your plan, and my wife kept telling me that my stomach was going down drastically. She was so impressed that she started the diet and is as happy as a lark because she lost 2 lbs in one day. she will probably weigh every day. heh,heh,heh. We both thank you very much.

GOD Bless you young man, so far you're almost too good to be true.

An Update From Robert

219 to 205 in 14 days. You know where they pull blood out of your arm. Well, if I rub real gently on my right bicep, about 2 inches above the elbow crease, I can feel a vein starting to stand out and if you get the light just right you can "almost" see it. I've never had that before. I am really happy about this small detail!

I am now 194, with 25 total pounds lost, and over 5 inches from the waist.

Stan LaFaver Can Almost See All Of His Abs,
His Back Is Ripped, and He Is Building Muscle!

Been on the program for about 6 weeks now and following the diet and workout routines religiously. I am happy to say that I am thrilled with the results I am getting. I have been very thin my whole life and after the age of about 24 I started gaining all my weight around my midsection. To someone looking at me with clothes on you would think I was a rail, but I was too embarrassed to take my shirt off in public because of the fat around my midsection. I am now almost 27 and have been working out for about 1 1/2 years, and yes it included one of those ab machines, but was not getting the results I wanted. I had about given up until I found your web page and figured it wasn't that expensive so it was worth a shot. Thank goodness I did it, in the past 5 weeks I have gained 7lbs. and have watched my midsection get trimmer by the week. I can almost see all my abs now which is a thrill in itself but as a bonus my arms are getting bigger as well as my chest and shoulders. My back has had incredible results from the workouts and the fat loss, every muscle in my back are clearly visible. I am presently on Plan-C and about to go to Plan-A as I have saved enough to get equipment for my house and am looking forward to even better gains. I can't thank you enough for the great program.

Bill Brunson Loses 4% Body Fat In Three Weeks With MuscleNOW

Francesco,

I just wanted to say thanks again for the extremely effective course you put together. I am back now training with your course again and experiencing good results, although I confess I "strayed" and tried Mike Mentzer's Mind and Body book for a while - got bad tendinitis in my elbows and shoulders both times, even though I modified to lighter weights the 2nd time around and took it very, very easy.

Bottom line, his course just does not give enough practical details about how/why/when that your course does - he seems most interested in pushing his Ayn Rand philosophies (the heretical, man-centered "objectivist" philosophy - and he spends a few dozen pages talking about it endlessly -)

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again and to see how you're doing with your important work - stay close to Jesus Christ - I'm giving Him the glory daily for all my progress which I will eventually let you see in a photo. I am making good gains and have dropped about 4% bodyfat in the last 3 weeks!

Your course it is by far the most comprehensive I have ever found.

An Update From Bill

I am in week 6 of my first full cycle of your course, and am still seeing the best physique results I have ever experienced in my life - I lift more weight each session and continue to lose fat weight as I have now incorporated the aerobics portion of the plan. People are now commenting to me that I am "looking good!" and I have ZERO joint pain or tendinitis, which I had experienced previously with the Mike Mentzer "Heavy Duty" program - I am just about as happy as can be with my progress! Thank you so very, very much, Francesco!

Behram Tamboli Loses 33 Pounds With MuscleNOW!

Francesco

Where do I start really? I bought your book and gave it a ho hum approach some 2-3 years ago. With this weak approach i still saw results, however not the results i was looking for. For those 2-3 years I went to college and by the end of it let me tell you... I was absolutely disgusted. My gut had reached 43 inches and i weighed in at a rotund 233 pounds with, get this 25.5% bodyfat!

I have to admit, i did not think your book would hold any answers for me but i always knew my dedication wasnt there. So i said what the heck instead of doing it for 3 weeks then stopping for a month, I am going to do Francesco's program for one whole year straight and if it still doesn't work im going to tell him hes full of crap.

Hahaha yes Frencesco, its been 3 months and one week, I am now 200 pounds with 16.5% bodyfat, and i am JUST at the beginning of my snowball effect so i know the fat is going to start melting off like butter over a hot stove. Youre program IS perfect , the only thing it lacks is a dedicated person. I am glad and somewhat embarassed to say that your program entails all of the best and I am totally addicted to my results thus far and hope to go down to 185 pounds with a bodyfat of 7%.

And you can also tell anyone who does not believe in your program to email me, because your program IS bodybuilding just without all of the crap that others want you to believe. I have always considered myself an honest man, and along with my statement from before, you can also include that there is no 2 weeks and look in the mirror and youre ripped kind of deal with this program. you work your butt off for 3 months, never miss a meal nor a workout and ALWAYS do ur cardio. and tell me there is no difference, ILL give them thier money back. (along with a swift boot to the rear for not putting in the effort).

Thank you for all of help and motivation, people in my gym are asking me what im taking and if they should use "hydroxycut" and what not hahaha. I tell them all the same thing, when youre ready to dedicate yourself to building a better body whether you want to lose fat or gain muscle, ill give you a site that will give you all of the info, what you do with it is entirely up to you.

I feel GREAT. Thank you Francesco you know your stuff!

Hello Francesco,

I emailed you a while back with having a problem in dropping some of my extra fat as well as bulking up and I must admit you fat loss phase with higher calorie intake has worker for me I have gotten up to 175 and stayed their throughout losing fat and gaining muscle. If you want to use this for a testomonial please go ahead as I will be honored to support your program. The pictures I took came out crappy but soon i will have some better one's for your web site since I am focused on just getting more and more ripped! MUSCLENOW has officially became my way of life towards diet and workouts and I absolutely love it. I have stuck with the program since June to only find my cholestrol levels, blood pressure levels, heart rate, as well as body fat (20% to 8%) have all gone for the better, as well as controlling my blood sugar levels.

THANK YOU and hopefully i'll have some pictures to back up my word within a few months.

Francesco,

Part of the reason that I have had so much success with your diet and training program is because it is very black and white, and combined with your e-mail service, it takes all of the guesswork out of diet and exercise. I have been on programs before that required me to make educated guesses and use various forms of rationale in which I had no idea of how accurate some of my choices were regarding training and diet. These types of systems have not been very effective for me because I never knew if I was on the right track. Concerns and doubts soon follow when you start thinking that perhaps your lack of results is due to misinformation or a poor interpretation of information. I should not have to spend time interpreting and making educated guesses about what was meant in various training and diet literature. Fortunately, I stumbled across your web-site, and I have found your book and invaluable e-mail service to be a blueprint for success, not merely thought provoking suggestions like you find in other training and diet literature. Based on your book, I now know how much and how often to eat, as well as the proper ratios of protein to carbs to consume at each meal. I know when to consume simple vs. complex carbs, and I also know exactly how many grams of protein and carbs to consume with each meal.

Your training program is also very straight forward, easy to understand and implement. What I am trying to say is that I attribute my success thus far to your blueprint manual on how to build a better body. I do not have to think, I just follow instructions and I know that I will achieve success. This is extremely motivating as well because in the past I have justified cheating on my diet and missing workouts by telling myself quote "I dont even know if I am implementing this program correctly, I am making all kinds of guesses and I feel that I am getting nowhere. I will start fresh next week with a different program, but for now, I might as well enjoy myself before I start fresh." Pizza Hut here I come. Most of the time it is cognitions like this that start binges. With your program, these kinds of thoughts and cognitions are not an issue, because I know exactly what I am doing, and where it is taking me.

On week 4 of the Musclenow program, I am very pleased to report that I have lost a considerable amount of body fat. I also wanted to say that it is amazing how much food I consume on the weekends yet do not add any body fat with the calorie increase, and when I reduce calories back to weekday levels and resume my training program on Monday, it is almost miraculous to watch the rapid reduction in body fat during the first 3 days.

Thank you so much for all of your help,

Francesco,

For several years I've tried every kind of routine and diet found in magazines and books, yet I never really grew until I found your program. A lot of guys say they are all natural and they show their routines in magazines such as "All Natural Muscle Development". After knowing your program, I see no sense in those routines. Are they really natural or the drug test doesn't detect their steroids? Are there people that know how to grow naturally or are you unique?

During my first two months I lost 3 inches on my waist. Then, for the following 4 months I gained 2 inches all over my body. Currently, I weigh 195, have 32' on my waist and 17' on my arms. I can divide my life in two distinct periods: before the MuscleNOW course, and after MuscleNOW!

Thanks a lot Francesco!!!

Well, I just finished up my second week and I must admit, so far I'm very impressed. I don't think I have ever been this motivated about training before. I took my second measurements and I have already gained a 1/2" on my arms and lost a 1/2" on my waist. That has never come close to happening before. It's always been very small gains and a lot of work. I kept thinking my wife had to have measured wrong or something. I made her check it three times.

And you were right, so many people have told me the info is wrong or not accurate and on and on. I told my wife that I would just keep working and then they can eventually see the results with their own eyes.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Hi Francesco!

I hope you're having a wonderful summer! Things are going extremely well with the program - I'd estimate that I'm about a month away from being at my goal body fat level, and I couldn't be happier! An observation about the diet- it's easy to follow because it's so nutritionally complete that I NEVER HAVE CRAVINGS FOR JUNK FOODS! ! ! That had always been my weakness, and now it's not even a consideration. Like other people who've written to you, I THANK GOD that you provided this program to the world, and for your unwavering help and support. I definitely couldn't have gotten this far without you.

Francesco,

Well...here's an update:

While I know you've probably heard this before, prior to signing up and trying your program I'd been working out for years! Since starting your program (I'm just finishing week 5) I'm just at the point of passing some of my greatest lift weights ever.

With the staggered rep & set routine each week it seems to keep my body just confused enough to encourage it to make new gains because it doesn't have time to get into a set routine. What I'm finding is that I get a good workout every time...and I can really feel it afterward.

On the weight side I beginning to get the diet down & people who haven't seen me have said, "boy you look like your losing weight" which I think is quite something for just 4-5 weeks on this program, in the winter with lots of clothes on.

Francesco:

I just wanted to thank you for your book. Its been about 5 weeks since I have been using your system, my gains are incredible. I started off lifting about 5 years ago. Since a shoulder injury, weightlifting was off limits per doctors orders. I gave your book a shot, and with your online help with my question my shoulder feels so much better. I can perform a lot more exercises than I could before and could even think that I could again. Through the past 3 years out of the gym, my physique was average. And thru your program, and taking it somewhat easy because of my shoulder, I have noticed a huge difference. I started off at a gross 185 pounds, 39" chest, 35 1/2" waist and a disappointing 14 1/2" arms. 5 weeks later after your help I am now 178-182 pounds, 42" chest, 34 1/2" waist and incredibly, my biceps grew about 2" to 16". My strength is even more noticeable. I am now benching 80 lbs. on incline dumbbells, curling 45 lbs. and 105 on preacher, all for 4-7 reps. And every week, these seem to get easier with your program. I never thought I would be this strong again, nor did I think I would be back in this good of shape.

Thank you so much, this book rocks!

I am an Asian 5'6 140 lbs with 16-17% body fat. Asians may look fine with clothes on, but when they take their clothes off, most will look awful, because we are mostly "skinny fat" type of people. Within a month of being CONSISTENT following the program, my body fat has gone down to 10.5 % using a Tanita scale (Wt= 132 lbs. I am sure that i only lose the fat because all the measurements on the biceps and chest have not decreased, so I don't lose muscle. In fact, my waist size has gone down from 33" to 29.5" and all my pants are getting loose :).

Of course you might say that some measurements out there are probably inaccurate. But let me tell you this. There is no more satisfaction than watching yourself in the mirror with results right in front of your eyes. I haven't been able to show the packs and ribs on my abs. Now i can :)... Just need a bit more time to get my body fat to 6%.

I've played around with some programs offered like yours from the net even I purchased some of them and bought some from my friends. It's just so destructive that my body became worse than ever before. Your program is the best I've ever experienced. I don't feel depressed while i am on it. I am stressed out with other programs.

The way you answer my questions with patience is just awesome and i admire your patience. One of the program that i joined also offered the same thing about free consultation but the reply was just too short so i kept asking and finally made him mad.

So, don't be confused with LOTS OF PROGRAMS out there. FOLLOW THIS PROGRAM. I also use no supplements except multivitamins. That's great because then I can save a lot more.

I purchased your MuscleNOW course approximately three months ago and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you. I appreciate what the wisdom of your experiences has allowed me to achieve with respect to my fitness goals. It is my opinion that you should rename your book THE GUIDEBOOK TO ADDING POWER TO THE HUMAN BODY (without the bull). I can confidently say that your manuscript is the most comprehensive, best written, and easiest to follow (the logic) that I have ever read. After a couple of weeks of following your course you can actually feel your body becoming a fire breathing machine. I have never read anything that emphasizes the importance of not only nutrition, but also of sleep. It is one of those things that makes sense, but to actually be able to feel your body grow after a healthy meal and a good night's rest is amazing.

I decided that now was the proper time to send you a message because I am going to get 4 of my 6 pairs of dress pants tailored this afternoon. I bought my clothes for work when I graduated college in June. It's been two months since I purchased your book, and now my pants won't stay up. I've lost 1 1/2 inches around my waist since then, though I've only lost about 10 pounds in total body weight. I am fairly confident of the composition of those 10 pounds that I've lost since my body fat has declined by almost 2% while my bench press has gone up about 40 pounds.

I can't stress how informative your book was. The timing of aerobic exercise coupled to meal times for maximum fat burning is something I haven't heard anywhere else.

Hello, Francesco! I completed my first 6-week MuscleNOW cycle this past Friday and am extremely pleased with the results. I am happy to report that I didn't miss one weight or treadmill workout and have been following all of your instructions as close as possible. I gained 5 pounds of body weight while decreasing my waist measurement 1-1/2". My upper arms have gained 1/2" and all muscle groups are much more dense, especially the shoulders and traps. I am very excited with the results and am eager to gain more. My strength gains almost scare me, they came so quickly. I am equally surprised by my energy level. Your program works like magic! The best part is that your program is realistic and quite "do-able". Weeks 5 and 6 weren't easy but they would have been a mental nightmare had I continued at that poundage and those number of sets for much longer. Knowing I could soon start the cycle over at two sets helped ease the mind tremendously. I used to think I was a failure because I couldn't stick with high sets of heavy poundages for more than three weeks on other courses. Thanks for everything!

Francesco,

I would like to say that after 6 weeks on your program, my entire six pack is visible. I haven't been this ripped for over 2 years when I was entering bodybuilding shows. By your recommendations I lost the fat and spared the muscle, unlike my own previous programs for getting a six pack. Your system really worked well. I stayed consistent and did not miss a single workout.

Thanks for your help!

Francesco,

I have just MADE IT my business, to write to you about your awesome program. I have been on (and off, but more on than off) your fat burning and muscle building diet and workout, for about 3 weeks now! I just wanna tell you that..... after the first week on MuscleNOW, I started seeing my underwear, showing clearly for all the world to see, as my pants had sank to my hips. I too, couldn't believe the new found firmness of my body.

3 weeks down the line, I look great, and I feel great.

Thanks a lot Francesco.

I started the plan two weeks ago and today was the measuring day. I lost 3/4 of an inch around my stomach! I am impressed with how it is all working together. Wanted to let you know that I also started doing the lifting in sets as you designed. It is helping to not burn me out and by cycling the numbers there seems to be more progress.

Thank you, and Blessings!

I joined Gold's Gym back in February and it is a decent Gym. for the most part, the people are there to work out. They do most of their talking when they're on the bikes, treadmills, or stair masters. I unfortunately don't have the money or space for a home gym, however I did purchase your MuscleNOW course. I don't normally write letters of praise (usually because I'm either not impressed or too lazy), but I wanted to take some time to do just that. I've been following the weight training program faithfully (plan A) for the past month. I've been better about my diet. (I used to work out and then get pizza or burgers, etc.). I've managed to cut out the majority of garbage that I used to eat, and I really don't miss it. As a result, I've increased on my chest, arms, and strength. My waist is almost 1/2" less than it was (which is fine by me). I can also, for the first time, see the veins running through the areas of growth. I can actually see results from my workouts. Since I see results, I obviously enjoy working out that much more. Thanks again for the wonderful course.

Just as a motivational thing for others starting your program, I just finished up week 2 of my first cycle. I've lost 4 pounds, but more importantly I've lost a full inch from my waist. My energy level is light years above where it was, and I actually look forward to working out. I took your advice and am doing aerobic work at least 5 times per week, usually 6. The 3 day per week lifting routine seems to be working out well for now.

An Update From Thomas

End of week 3. I've lost 10 pounds. My bench has gone from 125 to 160. Lost almost 2 inches from my waist, so I figure I've probably lost 20 lbs of fat, but gained 10 of muscle. To summarize, I'M THRILLED with the results so far!

I have followed your diet during 5 weeks and never felt better. My energy level has increased, I have also increased my strength tremendously and increasing for each week. My waist is getting smaller. I have lost about 3 inches. Formerly i use to eat 8-10 times a day, very high fat diet, that only gave me a huge stomach and no muscle mass. I have a normal metabolism but lots of stomach fat since years of wrong food and training. I used to train with bodyboulders who competes and followed their diet that only gave me a huge stomach. I now realize that when you take steroids you probably can eat everything and train wrong and still get big. I now realize that this is the wrong way to build the body.

Hi again Francesco

Just wanted to let you know I've been on your program for 11 weeks and I think it's amazing. My goal is to lose fat while gaining some muscle. So far i went from a 37 inch waist to 33 1/2, with this past 3 weeks really starting to kick in. I've followed your program almost to a T....but not totally so I could imagine what would've happened if i did. But I'm getting a lot better at it now. Also my arms went from 14.5 to 15.25.

I dont have a question and I'm not sure where to send this but I would just like to say that your program rules I've lost almost 2 inches off my waist already and it's only been one week so far I know I cheated checking early but I was very curious but it works. I'm following all the right amounts of carbs and protein and lifting 5 days a week and I have a ton of energy because I lift in the morning before I go to college so it keeps me awake during class which I like. I'm going to continue doing what I'm doing but that's all I had to say just that the program rules.

Hi Francesco,

I am writing to let you know that I have lost 20 lbs so far on your program. You have really helped me get this far. Amazingly enough, I want to point out that I got those results without really following your diet plan as you laid it out in your book. I cant imagine what changes I will make since I am following your diet plan!

I just followed your weight training program ate a sensible meal and did cardio five time a week for 30 minutes that's it, and lost around 20 to 25lbs !! I love your program!!

Hi Francesco,

Just to tell you that I've achieved some progress. I've managed to drop from 72 to around 68-69 kilograms in less than 2 weeks. My mid section looks slimmer, and I think (I hope I'm not hallucinating) I can see the sides of my love-handles melting away (the fat I mean). Also, the fat in the area of my arm-pits have kinda.... disappeared. And I can now actually see the wings (what do you call them actually.... :P) and can also that my chest has kinda already separated from my arms :)

It's a wonderful feeling to look at myself in the mirror :) I thank GOD for letting me stumble across your program. Will inform you more on my progress in the weeks and months to come :)

An Update From Alfian

I'm starting to see veins on my biceps. I've actually been on the program for 7 weeks now. Tremendous fat loss (as I've told you be-4) :)

Another Update From Alfian

It seems that I am noticing some improvement in my chest area. Seems to be getting less fatty and there seems to be muscle development. My chest is a bit 'abnormal' U see, becuz there is this one spott in the middle, where no flesh seems to grow :P Kinda scary uh? anyway, I can see that muscle has grown around it... and I am quite happy about this improvement. I can also see that when I harden my stomach, the upper abs are showing more clearly :)

A Third Update From Alfian

Hi there Francesco....

Firstly... I'd just like to say that...

My body is in its best shape ever :) Thanx for the great programme

Veins are also showing on some parts of my chest... as well as my biceps. And the number of veins has also increased on my forearms :D And the shape of my forearms are also getting a bit weird... Their actually looking a whole lot....well.... MUSCULAR! HAAHAHAHAHA!!! :) I am happy :D tq tq

My abs are also getting FLATTER! And when I flex... I can see the upper 4 :P

I have to say, that you are the best entrepreneur I've dealth with. The most honest and one thats very2 concerned with customers. Never found this type of 'service' anywhere else.

Mr. Castano, First, I would like to take a moment to praise you on this program. For the first time, I actually have a routine to follow, that is producing results. I have just completed the first six week rotation, and recorded increases in strength across the board. I have also recorded a 6% drop in body fat. and lost an additional 10 pounds. I'm hooked! Thank you for making it so easy to follow the routine.

Francesco, all in all this program is very good. I workout 5 times per week, workout option A. I've added muscle definition and lost about 10 pounds and I've been on the program for only 5 weeks. Before I started your program, I found that my muscles leveled off after doing the same routine week after week. Your program provides muscle confusion which I find allows for non-stop addition of muscle. I would recommend this for anyone looking to improve their appearance with exercise and diet.

I have been reading all of the testimonials from various people about how much weight they lost and I thought you might be interested in how much I have lost. I have always been big. I played football in high school and that was my introduction to weight lifting. I have worked out off and on for the past 18 years and I have to say that I thought the plan you laid out would not work. So i was dead set on proving you wrong. I mean there was no way that all the coaches, weightlifters, bodybuilders, and powerlifters I have known were wrong. You had to be crazy. Well I set out on my quest debunk your theories 10 months ago. I have been on your program ever since. I wanted to lose some weight and gain muscle. I started out at 315lbs 6' 0". My waist measurement was 53". To date I weigh 267lbs and my waist measurement is 42". That's a WHOPPING 48lbs and 11" in 10 months. I can't thank you enough for this program. I have even got the attention of my gym's top bodybuilders asking me what I am doing. My strength has increased tremendously. My bench went up from 245 to 280, squat from 365 to 455, incline from 145 to 205, leg press from 990lbs with both legs to 900lbs with one leg, and shrugs from 365 to 655. So all the people out there who think, like I did, that this program will not work DON'T BE STUPID! Stop wasting time. The only regret I have is that I didn't start it sooner. Thanks for changing my life.

An Update From Tracy

The last time I wrote you I had lost 48lbs and 11 inches in 10 months. Well it is 3 months later and the weight is still coming off and the strength is still going up. I have the best upper body development that I have ever had. I am starting to see veins in places that I didn't even know I had veins. My family and friends have noticed that I am becoming more cut and ripped every time they see me. I have after following your program for 13 months and 11 days lost 65lbs and 13 inches off of my waist. I have maintained the same arm size (17.5 inches) and my legs have actually grown. All this in 13 months. I have never felt better. I have to buy new pants again. This will be the second time. I just wanted to thank you again. I also wanted to reassure all the skeptics out there that this program works if you work it. Thanks again and I will keep in touch.

Hey I just wanted to drop you a note on my progress. I am half way through my 2nd cycle. First off I am 35 years old, 6’2” and I have competed 2 times. I placed 5th in novice middleweight and 3rd in novice light heavy. I did not compete the following year because of an illness and other projects in my life. I do want to compete again. My goal is to be on stage at 5%-6% weighing 195-198 lb. I can see how this cycle takes shape. I am liking it. I used to do high volume once a week training. I usually felt over trained. I have yet to feel that using this program, in fact I sometimes do not like taking the weekend off. I may start doing cardio on the weekend. I have not been very good with my eating, so I know that if I quit being lazy and get my first two meals of the day going in good order my gains will probably be much better. You know its funny I was ready for a change in what I was doing, then I found your program. It’s working. The big key is to feed the machine. Here are my numbers:

Before
Weight: 203 pounds
Arms: 16 3/4 inches
Neck: 16 inches
Chest: 45" relaxed, 47" flexed
Waist: 37" navel, 35.5" pant line
Thighs: 25 inches upper, 21" lower
Calf: 15 3/4 inches left, 16" right
Lean Mass: 176.6
Bodyfat: 13%

Two Months Later
Weight: 205 pounds
Arms: 16 7/8" left, 17" right
Neck: 16 inches
Chest: 46.5" relaxed 48.5" flexed
Waist: 35.5" navel, 35" pant line
Thighs: 25 inches upper, 21" lower
Calf: 16 inches left, 16" right
Lean Mass: 183.31
Bodyfat: 10.58%

I began this approximately two months ago and here's what has happened:

Weight: 188 to 176
Caliper: 17 to 9
Waist: 37 to 32.5
Biceps: 15 to 15.25
Chest: 42 to 41 (this must have been fat loss)

I have consistently increased weight or the number of repetitions each time I lifted. I feel much stronger and I'm started to see veins and muscle definition that I have never achieved before.

I must say I have caught myself more than once doing a double take noticing myself in the mirror at the gym now. I am amazed at the muscular definition I am developing.

I just wanted to say "Thanks." I was fat as a kid and have always had a stigma about my appearance, even though in clothes, I look fine. It's great to know that I can finally have the body I always wanted.

Thanks for everything,

Dear Francesco,

I just wanted to say thank you and add to the list of testimonials which enticed me to purchase your program. For anyone out there who is considering buying this program, realize that it doesn't provide just an incredible change in appearance, but positively impacts so many aspects of your life.

To establish my previous situation, I was 280 pounds on a 6 foot frame, not pretty at all. I tried the Atkins diet, which worked, but as Francesco has pointed out in his program, at what cost? Now many accuse the diet of depriving the brain of carbohydrates, the only fuel it seems to use. I definitely felt a mental difference after starting the diet. Anyway, I managed to get to 215 pounds. To those of you who would consider the Atkins diet: The "after" me was merely a smaller version of the "before" me. The fat and muscle ratios in my body stayed about the same, and I simply lost volume. Not only did that happen, but I hit a plateau at 215 and simply could not overcome it though trying for well over 4 months. I had previously purchased Francesco's program, but it had ended up tossed on a bookshelf with a half dozen other plans because it simply seemed like too much trouble. However after rediscovering it, I decided it was time to give it a shot. I was still too clingy to the Atkins to embrace new dieting concepts, but I decided to do the aerobics and lifting programs.

Although I achieved fat loss by following a high protein/low carbohydrate diet, I suffered a loss in muscle mass. Once I added Francesco's outlined diet to the program, I put a whole quarter inch on both biceps in one week. Though measurements in the chest and legs have decreased significantly from where I started, this has been a result of fat loss as I have made incredible gains in strength in both squats and bench press. I can definitely say I feel more solid after eating the right ratios of protein and carbs. On top of all of that, I've started to gain that v-shaped torso as well as having my abs poke through. The visible results themselves provide an inspirational fuel that makes sticking with this program so much easier than others.

Once again, thank you Francesco. And to anyone out there considering this program-if you have the desire and ability to commit yourself to completely transforming the way you look and feel -which will inevitably lead to a better life overall- Francesco has written the roadmap that will get you there.

An Update From Brian

I've made it through another six week cycle and it feels great. My strength is still increasing while I'm dropping useless pounds of fat! Not only have I gotten stronger, but I've gotten faster too. I ran a four mile cross country course this past weekend, and I have shaved a whole fifteen minutes from my time...and that's just in a little over four months! On top of all of that, I'm still losing about 1/4 inch off of my waist every week and becoming consistently leaner by the day. Also, I have been taking my resting heart rate (not the "true" resting heart rate-when I wake up, but rather just at random points in the day) and it ranges from 40 to 45 beats per minute. I'm not sure how good this is overall, but compared to 68 or so four months ago when I started your program, it was quite an accomplishment.

Hi Francesco,

I want to tell you that I began the program 5 weeks ago, and I have seen some excellent results. I began the program weighing 190 pounds...not OBESE for me, because I had a lot of muscle, but definitely overweight. At this point, I weigh 182 pounds. 8 pounds in 5 weeks is pretty good for any long-term diet or lifestyle change, I think, but the real treat is that I know I have lost far more than 8 pounds of fat, since I am certain that on your program, I have put on a few pounds of muscle. I've lost about 5 inches off of my waist and see no sign of that slowing down, so the fat-loss phase in which I'm working is definitely effective.

I want you to know that I was doing a low-carb, high protein diet for about 3 years. I had indeed lost weight, but eventually my body just STALLED. I wasn't losing any more weight. Beyond the physiological effects on the muscles and fat, I think your program has a very powerful effect on curbing appetite and equalizing chemical balances that might otherwise lead towards intense cravings for different types of foods.

Best regards,

I started your program approximately six weeks ago and have been good results I started at 6'2" and 215 lbs. and 25% body fat. Now I'm 204 and 21%. I've also started bench press at 60 lbs now I'm up to 195 lbs, all my weights have increased thanks to your program.

If I could have found your plan 20 years ago (I don't know when you started publishing), I would have save myself hundreds if not thousands of dollars on supplements, pills and diets that promised the world but delivered almost nothing except a lighter wallet.

Your program is the best weight lifting program I've have ever tried. I make gains every week, I can hardly believe the results. Thanks!

Just a quick note of thank you for all of your hard work compiling your book. Overall I am excited with my progress. I am quickly changing from a fat muscular guy to just muscular. At the start, my waist was 38, and now after four weeks of consistent gym work I am at waist 34. I'm cutting up while putting on size which is fantastic. The gym owner where I work out asked me what I have been taking for such dramatic results!

Thank you again for such an awesome program!

Francesco,

I've been making good progress thus far with the fat loss phase. I'm dropping waist and scale readings rather slowly lost about .75" of my waist and about 3 scale pounds. But what i noticed recently is that I have gained ANOTHER 1/4" on my biceps. So does this mean that i'm losing fat and gaining muscle? Cause I don't believe my eyes.. but that's what it appears to look like. It looks like i'm burning the fat and putting on muscle. I guess this is the butterzone :) where every bodybuilder wants to be huh....

oh and one question.. during my leg's bicep's days i got a really extreme blood pump in my arms (bicep and forearm) more then i think i've ever had. People were looking at me (for a change) at the gym. I'm sure they were thinking .. "yeah he must be on the juice." Cause I was madly pumping away with curls haha..

This information WORKS! I try to get people hooked on buying your books whenever they can. But some really just wanna see results and put no effort in. There's not much I can to encourage those people except tell them all the benefits of a metabolism raise, fat loss, muscle gain, etc.

I've definitely realized that people at the gym (like I used to haha) who don't train with some kind of notebook or plan or sheet to write down their progress and weights with have really no idea where they are at. Perhaps some people are in maintenance and really know there weights. But when I look around my gym, I know a lot of these guys arent doing body maintenance, the truth is they just DON'T KNOW what they are doing.

Mr. Castano,

I would like to add my progress reports to your website where you have all of the other people listed. I took a picture of myself before I got very serious on the diet. My waist was at 42" (down from the 45" I think it was when i first started). That was May 10th. On May 20th, I measure again and my waist was between 40" and 40.5". Also on May 20th, my chest was at 43" up from the 40" 10 days previous. It is working!

Sincerely,

I am not a big guy at all and have always had trouble getting bigger, but this program is absolutely better than any workout thing i've ever tried before. Thanks again man!

Thanks again for the whole deal man, e-mails and all.

God Bless too dude.

Hi Francesco,

I completed my 3-month program of the fat loss phase two weeks ago. My weight decreases from 61.2 kg to 58.6 kg. My waist decreases from 82 cm to 78 cm, and the caliper measurement shows the decrease from 21 mm to 10 mm. My upper body shows more definition and my abs is now flat. I plan to continue the fat loss phase until I reach the caliper measurement of 5-6 mm. I noticed that besides losing fat, I also became more muscular.

May i start by congratulating you on such an excelent training manual. It is easy to understand and really opened my eye`s. I started bodybuilding again 3 years ago and like yourself i had tried everything on the market to get big and ripped. Suprise suprise nothing worked, i got big but fat aswell. I was 19 stone when i recieved your book 2 months ago with a 42 inch waist. In that short time i have lost 3 inches off my waist and now weigh 16st 12lb but still benching 140kg for 6 reps. I expected to lose a lot of size but so far have only lost 1/2 inch off my arms which are now 18 inches and only 1 1/2 inches off my chest, not bad considering i`ve shed more than 2 stone of weight(fat). I get compliments all the time now about what a great transformation i have made from people in the gym, and i tell them about your web site. And yet they do nothing about it, they just keep doing the same old stuff, eating the same old crap and then winge because they are not getting results. Oh well, their loss. Once again i say, excelent book, and I have never looked so good. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Yours gratefully

Francesco,

I've been using your diet and think it's incredible. I've been eating good foods for years, but it wasn't until I read your book that I realized how bad my timing with certain foods could be. I've dropped by body fat from 13.3% to 7.7% using your plan.

Francesco,

I have been following your program for just over a week now and I am so please with results. The first week I've lost over 5 pounds of fat and 3/4 inches off my waist, gaining 1/2 inch on my left bicep( it was smaller than my right). Needless to say I'm on the fat loss phase of the program. I'm anticipating reaching my fat loss goal in 12 weeks. Thank you so much for this course.

I am so excited to be doing this and to have found your course. I can not thank you enough.

An Update From Michael

First of all, thanks again for providing this wonderful course. I love it and I have made great progress. My weight has dropped from 208 to 175 in just over 12 weeks. My waist size from 39 inches to 33.5 inches. I've been following the fat loss phase, of course, and though I haven't gain inches in my muscles yet, I've certainly get strength and I'm getting some nice definitions in my arms and shoulders. I've set some ambitious yet attainable goals for myself. One being reduce body fat percentage to 8%. Based on my height (6'2") current weight and waist size and by looking in the mirror, I thought I had about 12-13 pounds of fat to go.

I had my annual physical yesterday with my doctor which was great by the way. God bless you.

I am receiving great results from your program! I am starting my second cycle this week and I can't believe how much progress I have made. I love lifting now. Even on my days off, I want to lift, but I don't. I have achieved more results in 6 weeks on your program than I did in my entire year of lifting. I have some pictures I took maybe a couple of days into the program, but I have to get them developed. I will send them to you sooner or later. Anyway, thank you for your knowledge, and if anyone is skeptic, you tell them to call me. Even other people are noticing. I am so excited. Sorry this is so long, just wanted to let you know how things were.

An Update From Ryan

Ryan Vernon here. To make a long story short, i ordered your program about 4 or 5 years ago. I followed the program for about 8 months and made huge gains. Well, i am embarrassed to say when the "real world" hit, i got off off the program and lost just about everything i had gained. On August 1st, I decided i was tired of being overweight and feeling like crap all the time. I am proud to say that as of today, I have lost almost 40 pounds (238lbs to 202lbs) and I look even better than I did the first time. I have followed the diet as close to perfection as possible. I can now drive by Mcdonalds (and the like), and not even think twice. I have gone from a 43" waist to a 36" waist, and I am still losing weight and inches. I can almost fit into a 34" pair of pants. I can not believe it!!

What's more amazing is my shirts are fitting tighter, i look more muscular, and my wife loves the way i look. I still want to lose a couple more inches before i jump to Category A guidelines. I can't begin to imagine the gains i will make when i increase my food intake. I have taken pictures along the way and will send them to you when i am a little more satisfied with my physique.

Well, i will let you go. i just wanted to share my story with you. This program has worked for me TWICE. Once in college, at 21 years old, and now at the age of 26. Thank you so much, you have definitely change my life!!!

God Bless You,

Bryan McGahey Gains 75 Pounds In The Shoulder Press and 105 Pounds On The Squat While Building Muscle Mass!

Francesco, Hope this finds you doing well. Thought I would send a progress report to you.

Due to a bad shoulder you helped me with, my bench press went from 135 to 190 now and gradually getting better. Chest was 44, now it is 48. It is amazing what proper form can do for you when someone like yourself gives proper guidance and instruction.

Shoulder press has gone from 50 - to - 125.

Lat pulldowns from 100 - to - 185.
Low pulley rows from 120 - to - 190.

Deadlifts from 100 - to - 240.
Standing tricep press from 40 - to - 95.
V-bar press from 50 - to - 100.
Squats from 135 - to - 240.
Leg curls from 80 - to - 160.
Preacher curls from 40 - to - 90.
Barbell curls from 60 - to - 100.

So thus far, I have put 2.25 inches on my arms, 4 inches on my chest, and three inches on my thighs.

If it wasn't for your help I wouldn't be where I am today. You're the man Francesco!!!!!!!! I can't thank you enough for all you have done to improve my physique thus far, and you ain't seen nothing yet my friend. My wife thanks you too. She says she loves the way my chest has filled out.

Danny Nathan Gains 75 Pounds On The Bench In Three Months While Adding 30 Pounds Of Bodyweight With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

I think you would like to know about my results with your program. After I got myself down to a 31" waist and had fair increases in strength I figured it's time to grow. I did 2 cycles with the 5 day a week program. The results have been nothing but AMAZING. I never thought I could add in 3 months 30 pounds! Man.. That's just AMAZING.

I got so MUCH strength it was SCARY. I benched 225 pounds before the diet and I added 75 pounds Benching more than 300 POUNDS on the bench press in just 3 months.

I never thought I could be a big guy but now I AM!

An Update From Danny

It's been a while since I wrote to you. I've added great mass and I'm very pleased with the whole routine. I never miss a workout. I feel like I have a secret book while everyone struggles at my gym and I'm always adding more and more weights. It's a great feeling.

Ben Porter Gains 30 Pounds On The Bench In 5 Weeks While Adding 36 Pounds Of Bodyweight With MuscleNOW!

Francesco:

First, I'd like to say that I am enjoying your program immensely. On the second day of my second week I have added 1/2" to my chest and lost 3/4" off my gut. It's also convenient to be out of the gym in an hour or less, because my schedule is sometimes tight.

An Update From Ben

I have gained 13 pounds since I started 5 weeks ago, and I've gone from benching 170lbs ten times to 200lbs ten times, I can leg press 700lbs for seven reps, and I'm also curling 107lbs for seven reps. And thanks to doing bench press using the technique outlined in the book, my chest has become absolutely ripped!

Another Update From Ben

To date, your program has given me the best results of all systems I've tried. I ventured into Heavy Duty/ Mike Mentzer territory for quite some time, and it taught me that while one can maintain mass on once a week or less workouts, it doesn't yield the kind of startlingly quick gains your program does.

Between when I started your program in April and the beginning of July, at a height of 5'8, I went from 160 and 8% bodyfat with a 32 inch waist to 196 with a 33 1/2 inch waist. And, considering I was pulling 335lbs for 12 on stiff legged deadlifts, and my abs were still very visible, I estimate that only 1/4-1/2 inch of that waist gain was fat. Since then, I've gotten as heavy as 210 at times, but at my present height of 5'9 I tend to look kind of funny above 200lbs. The point is people, this program works!

Thanks for all your help!

Mazen Dauleh Gains 60 Pounds On The Bench
and 210 Pounds On The Squat With MuscleNOW!

My arms have increased 1/2 inch, my waist has dropped 1 inch, and my squats have skyrocketed. I went from doing 315 once to 5 TIMES. My bench has gone from me doing 205 3 times to 6 TIMES. I hope to see even more dramatic results in the coming weeks.

An Update From Mazen

Just an update with what I'm doing I have been very impressed with my results. I started 10 months ago and WOW. My physical appearance is a lot better and my strength is unbelievable and everyone asks me what I do. Ten months ago I benched 225, and squatted 315. Six months later when we maxed I did 285 on bench, and 525 on Squats. I got put in the 900lb club and that was something I thought I could never do. I hope to continue on the program and stay as strict to the book as possible and get SCARY BIG! I would have to say this is the best money I have ever spent. I hope you can use this in your testimonials. Thanks A bunch!

Joe Steck Gains 40 Pounds On The Bench While Adding Muscle and Losing Fat With MuscleNOW!

Hey buddy,

Just thought I'd let you know that now, in just a couple of months, my bench press has shot up another 40lbs. making my max 265lbs. I never thought I'd be able to bench that much. My weight also went up about 8-10 lbs. while my waist went down about a half inch. I also gained about an inch in my arms, thighs, chest and an inch and a half in the calves. Your program is definitely the best workout I've tried. And I've not even been real strict with the diet. Everyone is saying that I look bigger. Even the owner of the gym I go to said so. I've told everyone I know about your course. Some couldn't believe that I did only 2-3 sets on some weeks. They think that's "not enough". But apparently it is because I'm gaining and they're getting minimal results. I LOVE IT!

Thanx once again for your guidance.

Dan Field Gains Strength In Only One Week
With MuscleNOW!

Hey Francesco!

It is good to finally be writing you. I have been on your program for one week now using the 4 day training plan. I must say I have a big boost in energy and I can even see some changes throughout my body (from only the first week!). I bought your program over a year ago and did not see the results I wanted. Its then when I re-read your book I found out that my body wasn't receiving enough calories to supply its needs! But now I am on high calories and can see where I have failed before. I have also seen an increase in my strength too!

Leg press from 180 to 200
Lat pulldown for 140-8 reps to 10 reps!
Deadlift from 185 to 195

This may not seem like much but for the first week it is amazing!

Im excited about seeing my testimony on your site. I will stay committed to your program the entire summer. I will send more updates and pictures when it is possible!

Tarek Atwan Gains 40 Pounds On The Bench, 125 Pounds On Squat, and 105 Pounds On Shrugs With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

I want to thank you for the motivation you inforced through your great program. I've been following your program for 3 weeks now. Despite starting a fasting period that lasts one month, I have made impressive results. All thanks to your advise of throwing all those worthless supplements. I used to spend money and time on those supplements that have distracted me from focusing on my workout. My focus was on what supplements work, what's new and have I taken enough. Now, I feel pure and clean internally.

I can sleep better now, no more joint pain and my strength has increased. The good news is that for the first time in my life (3 years training) I managed to increase all my max weights. I never thought I can reach the 300 lb in squats. I've been on the same bench press max for a year now.

But now, after using your program, especially eliminating chemicals and focusing on what God have given us naturally my: Bench jumped from 225 to 265, my squat from 225 to 350, and my shrugs from 175 to 280. I am so happy with these results.

Thank you!

Dilip Patel Gains 110 Pounds On The Bench, 374 Pounds On The Squat, and 96 Pounds on Preacher Curl With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

I followed the mainstream advice of so many magazines and took a whole heap of supplements to gain very little in 2 years worth of solid effort. My understanding at that point was that it was just luck, you know if you had good "genes". People were always saying eat right, train "HARD", but no luck!

Like so many others I would train more than 5 days a week, with sessions of over 2 hours long. I would look in the mirror and "think" I'm seeing "results". I would say things like in "just a few more weeks and I'm done", to the point where everyone would be impressed. I would go and train in such a manner you would think I'm trying to KILL myself because this is what I believed would get me the results I so badly wanted. I thought training harder and longer would equal better results (what an idiot I was!!!).

On the muscle phase I was able to grow at 1/4 inch in ALL MUSCLE GROUPS every week without "fail" :). May not seem like much but add it over 8 weeks!

I did not always monitor carefully because I believed my "eyes", and this cost me big time! When on fat loss I lost a lot of muscle mass because I failed to monitor carefully. Anyway my strength stayed and still increases, people call me "Powerhouse or Bruce Lee" because I'm similar in size, but my strength, WOW crazy! You know thanks to Francesco I can compete with people more than twice my size! I'm one of the strongest people I know in my area for my size and beyond my size too! (That’s comforting to know!)

After muscle phase I weighed in at 10 stones (140lb), I lost a lot of muscle mass "because I believed my eyes" instead of following Francesco’s measurement instructions, and I lost over 1 stone (14lb).

Before MuscleNOW
Bench: 50kg (110lb)
Squat: 75kg (165lb)
Preacher Curls: 30kg (66lb)

After 6 months on MuscleNOW
Bench: 100 kg (220lb)
Squat: 245 Kg!!! (539lb) (More than 4 times my body weight!!)
Preacher curls: 74kg (163lb)

When people tell me what they lift they ALWAYS tell me what they can do once and "try" to "impress" me with it, ALL of these are what I normally do! I’m going back to muscle phase with a vengeance and get back what is mine! Remember it's not your "genes" or "luck" that governs your results, it IS ONLY THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE. Labor Under Correct Knowledge = L.U.C.K

Hi, I ordered your program a while back and to tell ya the truth I did not use the program until after my schooling began. Anyways I did your progam for two cycles and I'm very pleased! I put on ten pounds with an extra 35lbs bench press, squating over 315 for 4. I thought I reached my genetic limit, but with your program I keep on gaining and getting stronger each cycle it's an awesome feeling knowing your getting stronger each cycle. Your program is really great and the the only thing I regret is that did not use your program when I got it.

I wanted to take this time out to thank you for your amazing course!! I cannot believe that after all the wasted time, money and effort that I have spent in the past, results are so simple!!

Now I'm not saying the methods laid out are easy by any means, but if followed exactly can produce dramatic gains. I have only been using the course for 6 weeks, and I cannot begin to describe how so far you have changed my life! My workout weight has increased steadily every week on almost every exercise! By following your diet recommendations I not only have more energy, feel amazing throughout the day, never tired and lazy, sleep better, my skin has cleared up. I now walk around with a more positive and outgoing attitude, which resulted in a raise at my job!!

I dont know how you were able to come up with this course, and its methods, but all I can say is THANK YOU.... This is coming from one of the biggest skeptics there are. You have proved me wrong. In a weird way I feel as if I have stolen something from you.....the information that you provide is worth alot more than I could ever pay.

I started week five of your workout plan today. I have increased in size about 1 inch on every major muscle group. My biceps went from 13 inches to 14 inches, chest 41 inches to 42 inches, thighs 2 inches gained, waist has stayed at 33 inches, and most amazing thing is that my curl has gone from 50lbs to 95lbs! in 4 weeks! So I have gained much strength and size.

I would like to thank you for what you have done for me! Your program is priceless, and I recommend it to all my friends. Anyone who has been let down in the past by programs that don't work, this one is for you! Let's have no more overtraining.

Francesco,

I am in love with the program. I'm growing by leaps and bounds! My friends and family frequently mention how my physique has changed for the better in under 5 weeks. Outstanding and wonderful program. You're the man!!

I want people to know how explosive the results can be when you follow the MuscleNOW system. After having done several other programs with very minimal success and then to do this one and see such dramatic results is amazing.

I'm constantly getting stronger and really starting to see some never-before-seen definition. I'm loving the program. It kicks my butt...but I love it!! My tris, traps, back, and chest are really starting to grow.

I want people to know the astounding results they can achieve through your program if they stick to it and bust their butt in the gym. Hey, I've long been a skeptic of these "get huge quick" programs. However, it takes hard, dedicated work (which is the way it should be!) to achieve results and with this program EVERYTHING is laid out in an easy-to-follow format. It's up to the individual to do it. You DO achieve tremendous results if you follow this program religiously...NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!

I'm a 50 year old busy psychotherapist and a vegetarian.

I've been doing Francesco's system for 11 weeks now and I'm really loving it. I'm gradually losing body fat and gaining muscle mass. My strength on some exercises is going through the roof. I just beat my all time Personal Best by doing a set of 6 Shrugs with 420 lbs.

I've tried lots of weight lifting systems over the years both on my own and with a trainer. Francesco's system is the most comprehensive I've ever come across. And, because of the ability to email Francesco with any of my questions I can keep fine tuning my program to maximize the possibility of fully meeting my training goals.

Owning and working with Francesco's training system is the single best thing you can do to create the body of your dreams.

Hi Francesco,

It has been a long time since I have used your course. I bought the course about 2 years ago and achieved great results in the three months I used it.

I strayed from the course to try some others, all with little to no gains. So, now I am back to using what worked in the past, the MuscleNow Course. When I began using MuscleNow I remember how much stronger I was getting with each workout and how defined I was getting by following the clearly outlined diet.

As I said before I followed the course for about 3 months. During that time I tried a little experiment where I bench pressed 225lbs as many times I could. The first month I performed about 10 clean reps. The third month, after following the training course and diet, I performed 25 reps with NO ASSISTANCE!!! I only weighed about 195. I was amazed!!! I have not been able to do that since then using other courses.

By the way, I would have to agree that supplements do not work. I also have spent thousands on supplements and the only thing that is bigger is my credit card bill!

I would recommend this course to anyone who comes across this on the Internet or who hears about it in the gym! You have taken the guesswork out of training and diet by making it into an easy to follow training program!

Just finished week 3 of your course and I must say I agree with you: Sustained low rep heavy weight training is a sure path to injury and over training. Thank God next week starts high rep lower weight. It will give my tendons a chance to catch up to my muscles. I wanted to give you my results so you could have a testimonial if you like. The first two week results (I started with your week 2-3 program):

Strength increases in the following muscle groups:

Shoulders: 18%
Back: 16%
Tris: 25%
Legs: 38%
calf: 25%
Weight gain: 7 lbs!!!
Waist Measurement: 33.5 to 32.5

I am impressed and very encouraged. My greatest challenge now is trying to ignore all the free advice I get on training by my friends and workout partners. I also appreciate all your help in fine tuning my training and clearing up my confusion.

I can't wait to see the next two week results!!

Hi!

I am experiencing gains for the first time in almost a year and a half! At just two and a half weeks on your program, I am rapidly breaking out of this plateau I've been stuck on for a year and a half! It feels great to get stronger every single workout on every exercise! I'm even beginning to see my abs come through as my garbage can (waist) dwindles down in size! I have been really dedicated to my training the last 2 years, for minimal gains! My first 4 to 6 months of training, I grew like crazy, then my gains came to a crawl, now I realize why!! I've spent so much money on supplements and books and tapes, all of them providing me my foundation, but none of them talking about cycling! The real missing key! Anyhow, if this sounds like a good testimony, just wait, Ill write something up so cool down the road when I can produce some pictures. I just cannot believe of all the programs I've read and tried, either I ignored the crucial part of cycling, or something, but I have been overtraining for a year and half! I could have been huge by now if I had just known about your program. Oh well, I have it now, that's all that matters. Well excuse me for ranting, but I cannot contain my excitement!

Hi Francesco,

I've always been skeptical of supplements and have searched fruitlessly for information on proper training and dieting methods. By chance, fate or the hand of God I stumbled across your web site in search for weight gain information for a university assignment. I couldn't drag myself away from your site! I spent probably 2-3 hrs reading the information on it before deciding this is for me.

Reading your MuscleNOW program has cleared up my confusion regarding training and dieting and I now understand why I wasn't getting the results I desired. In 3 weeks on your program I've gained 5 pounds. In my chest I've gained 1 3/4 inch and have gained 1/2 inch in both my arms. I haven't had gains like this since I first started weight training over 4 years ago.

Also, I've broken through my 130 lb barrier on the bench press. For ages I've been trying to get to the stage where I could start on this weight but only ever managed 3 or 4 by myself. At the start of the 2nd week on your program I started on 130 and got to 8 without help and failed on the 9th. I was so stoked!!!!!!!

Thanks, and God Bless!

First off, I would like to thank you for the MuscleNow approach....I have been using it for about a year and am very pleased with the results. I am 49 years old and have never looked as good nor been stronger. For the nutrition, I have used some Cooking Light software to build menus and meal plans which carefully follow the MuscleNow protein/carbohydrate directions so I also have a good variety of interesting meals. So, thanks again.

Greetings,

I have been using your program for nearly 6 months and have seen tremendous results. This is the first time I don't feel sick while trying to follow a bodybuilding diet. (Very, very happy about that). My squats are now 300lbs. on light days (I weigh 142lbs.). My lat pulldowns are now 180lbs. Thanks for a great program.

This by far surpasses the Serious Growth Programs, Time/Volume/Efficiency Manual, and Universal Bodybuilding Programs.

Well, I'm in my third cycle and almost done with my 3rd week. So far, I lost 40 pounds and 4 inches off my waist. I now weight 174 with a waist of 34 1/2. My bench went from 125 (7 reps) at the beginning to 160 (7 reps). So far, I've experienced only positive results.

I purchased your program over 3 years ago, and I thank you for the help. I am now the biggest, strongest, and fastest one in my group of friends. This is a real improvement from being the weakest one, benching only 85 lbs. I can now dunk a basketball and I'm only 5'10". THANK YOU.

When I first dunked a basketball in front of my friends their jaws dropped. They couldn't believe what I just did. I had to dunk again so they knew for sure that they weren't seeing things.

I have made big improvements from my puny 11.5-inch arms (currently 14.25") and weak 85 lbs bench (currently 235 lbs). The truly amazing thing for me is that I went from a non-active, junk food eater, time waster, TV watcher, video game player, with no healthy outlook in life, to the person I am now. I find the more I work at my training goals, the more it helps me in all aspects in life.

When I first order your course I was one of the laziest people in the world. I followed your course for 1 weeks before I quit, over the next two years after that I increased it slowly to the point were I would go for about 4 weeks before I quit. Looking back at that you would think that I would really regret it, but I don't, for one simple reason. It taught me the biggest lesson I have learned in my life! All things worth having take time and effort.

Even now I haven't been on your course for longer than 5 weeks. That is the main reason I don't have 18-inch arms already. Now I can think of a million excuses to why I haven't trained for longer than 5 weeks (who can't). But the truth is, you and I both know this, everyone has the same amount of time everyday. If you can't find 30 to 60 minutes a day to train, you really need to look at your life. I'm sure everyone can find 3-5 days a week they can train.

But my goals have changed now. I quit my job and I'm not currently going to school, so I have had a lot of time to think lately. And WOW! I would recommend everyone taking some time off to think about life and where they want to go. I have never really done this, but now that I have I know exactly want I want and how I am going to get it.

Now I no longer have a goal of beating my 5-week training time. Now I have a goal to train week in, week out for the rest of my life. There is never going to be a week that I don't train (unless and only unless I am physically unable to). Taking the time off and thinking has really helped me.

Thanks again.

I am in the 6th week of the program, and have piled on a considerable amount of muscle that I have never been able to gain before. I am more and more impressed with your program as I use it. I have been extremely surprised to see my weights and the amount of reps in the first set, and second set of each exercise increase quite dramatically - this proves to me that I am not overtraining but making very striking progress in regards to my weights going up.

I must say that I wish I had this program of yours a few years back from now, I still cannot believe how effective your course has been for me- its been the best amount of money investment in a gym course ever - to think of the hundreds of dollars I wasted on supplements and body building magazines. I could kick myself.

Thanks again for a great course that actually works.

Dear Francesco,

I've been using the program for 3 weeks now and the results have been the best I've had on any program. It just blows my mind that I can get better results by eating and training right in 3 weeks than I did in a year of my football coaches eating and lifting program! My bench went from 185 at 3 reps to 195 at 6 reps. The best thing about the program was that it helped me recover from an ACL reconstruction (I checked with my doctor to see if I could start the program first, of course) from last January. After I graduated from physical therapy in May, they told me to do leg press, leg extensions+ leg curls and stretch it out alot. I followed the advice and I had progress but it still hurt alot and I could only leg press about 315, my leg extensions were 45 at 8 reps, and leg curls 25 at 13 reps. After using your program, I'm very happy to report that my leg press is now back to it's original 825, leg extensions 90 x 11, and my leg curls are at 90 x 4. Though the leg press sounds like an unbelievable gain, that's how much I use to do so I guess some of it's muscle memory. On top of it all, my ACL feels close to normal!

Thank you so much for the wonderful program and for reading this letter.

Dear Francesco,

Just wanted to say "Thank-you" for your muscle now program. I can't believe how much I have progressed in 6 months. My lifetime goal to bench over 200lbs pounds (at least once) was accomplished this week. Anyway, I know that's not a lot of weight, but to me, like I said, it was a lifetime goal. That shows you how weak I was at the beginning. I feel great and look the best I have ever looked in my 30 years.

What's so sad is that the personal trainers at my gym (RDV Sportsplex in Orlando, Fl) charge $50 bucks an hour and they can not even begin to touch on what is contained in your book. Thanks again!

Dear Francesco,

Francesco, I just want to let you know how great I think the program is. I am in the musclebuilding phase and finishing up cycle 6 and my strength has increased tremendously. My bench is the highest it has ever been, all my measurements have gone up except for my waist, and I have veins I didn't know existed. You may not recall but I too sent you a skeptical e-mail prior to investing in your program. It was the testimonials of other clients as well as your response to my e mail that convinced me to try the system. I'm glad that I did.

Hi Fransesco,

I bought your book about five months ago and have been training for the last two months the MuscleNOW way. The gains have been dramatic my bench press has gone from 160 to 200 pounds in such a short time in all my years of training i haven't made this much progress. I have grown everywhere and increased strength as well.

Amy Yarnell Loses 11.5 Inches Of Stomach Fat, Drops 30 Pounds, and Shows Abs With MuscleNOW!

Hi Mr. Castano! Thank you for all of your help with the MuscleNow program. I am on week 19 and have had incredible results! I did a bodybuilding-type diet four years ago; I looked great but it was too extreme and I was just about insane by the end. :) I'm sure you've been there. This time, I'm mentally doing great and look excellent too! I greatly appreciate all of your efforts. I have a perfect amount of muscle mass for a female and my abs are showing (I've dropped 30 pounds and 11.5 inches off of my waist) and I wear a size 0-2 at about 118 pounds (I'm 5'1 and as you know this is a lot of weight as a very small person which is fine.)

FYI You should also know, since you've probably dealt with this before and this info could help you with other people....I was diagnosed with Graves disease in March and was not permitted to work out at all. They released me to work out in January of the next year and I started your program when my thyroid was still DYING after radioactive iodine treatment (which I received twice.) They were still regulating my synthroid until March of that year! So now we know, even with a dying thyroid, with enough determination and an excellent trainer such as yourself--the sky's the limit! Thanks again.

Dear Mr. Castano:

"Incredi-Body" is an "Incredi-Book"!!

This was truly a magnanimous feat for her, and a true testimony that your program really works! Your knowledge, and dedication to shaping the lives of your customers is unsurpassed! My daughter has an unbeatable education at stake, and you have clearly given her the head-start she needed to pursue her dream.

She Can Now Bench Press Her Own Weight!

As luck would have it my girlfriend also took up your program. She had been in a bad car accident and spent two years in physical therapy. When she was finished she could bench press about 30 pounds max! I'm happy to say that in the last year she has come a long way. She now benches about 110 pounds as a workout wieght. Pretty amazing considering she only weighs that much.

Alexandra Gains 12 Pounds (6 kg) Of Muscle While She Burns Fat With MuscleNOW!

Don't waste your time writing a reply to this, because it's not necessary - it's just something I wanted to share with you. I was at the gym today for my cardio workout (today wasn't a weights day) and I had just finished doing my treadmill workout. I went back to the changing rooms and was drinking some water (I was sweating quite a bit) and a woman in the changing rooms made some small talk with me.

"Had a good workout?" she asked. I nodded, smiling, and told her I'd just finished my treadmill session. Then she said, "Stop drinking the water!" I put down my water bottle, completely confused, and asked, "Why not?" I expected a long scientific answer threaded with examples and names of studies to prove her point. Instead she said,

"Well, you've just lost a lot of weight doing all your exercise, and now you're putting it all back on!" I paused, and then said,

"What?" I just didn't get it. She repeated what she just said, and then she said, "Water makes you gain weight! Don't drink it!" I just stared at her, completely confused, wondering if there was a hidden camera somewhere in the changing room. I slowly said, "But I'm thirsty - I've just exercised and I'm dehydrated." She paused for a moment to think, and then said,

"Fine, but just don't drink too much then." I just stared. She then said, "How are you eating? What do you eat?" I mumbled something about having meal ratios and generally having a sensible diet. She then said, "I just eat fruits and vegetables - I've lost so much weight already. You should do the same thing - just eat fruits and vegetables."

Anyway, the point of me telling you this? It just brings back such a blast from the past. I've always had major problems with food. Always. I used to be that woman, trying out fad diets and following what the scales said like crazy. On your program I have gained 6kg. Had I gained this much on any other plan, I would have been devastated and resorted to one of my crash diets. But on this plan with my extra 6kg, I've never been happier, because it's 6kg of muscle. My clothes are fitting looser (my tracksuit bottoms were falling as I ran on the treadmill today!) and my fitness levels have increased so much.

I guess your program just encourages such a sensible attitude towards food and I'm really really grateful for that. I mean it. You have no idea how good it feels to finally eat without guilt. It feels great to put food in my mouth without feeling the need to count stupid 'points' or look up every damn thing in a stupid carb counter book or a GI index. It's taken me the good part of seven years (my problems with food began at the age of eleven, believe it or not) to feel this happy with myself. One thing I was afraid of on your program was getting too obsessive with food once again and ending up on that all-too-familiar pathway to an eating disorder, and that just vanished as soon as I read through the program. I don't feel deprived in any way at all. And damn, does it feel good.

I did try and explain the need for protein to the woman at the gym, but she was adamant her system was working. She proudly told me she was a size 10, and stood up and gave me a twirl to prove it. On close examination, her figure had virtually no muscle and most of her mass was just fat. Seriously.

I, on the other hand, continue to weight train and eat sensibly and max out on my cardio sessions and see fantastic results.

I owe a lot to you and your manual.

God bless you.

I wanted to write and let you know just how much I am enjoying your program! Never in my life have I seen anything so completely perfect! You really truly have written the perfect manuel for the bodybuilder wannabee. I still can't get over all the specific information included. I think your program is excellent and I think anyone who is serious about building muscle should certainly consider yours to be the best out there! People just need to read everything like you said and understand that this takes time. It is WELL worth it for me-I truly have never felt better!! That is so funny because I used to think the animal protein slowed me down, how wrong I was!! I have more energy than I can remember having in a very long time! Your program makes perfect sense and I am so glad I bought it!! My two kids (ages 12 and 13) are also enjoying the benefits of your program!

Anyway I do thank you from the bottom of my heart! I plan on doing this for the rest of my life, keeping my body in top shape. I just thank you for your no nonsense approach to reaching my goals! I hope to send pictures so you can have a "before" to compare to the forthcoming "after"!

Hi Francesco. First of all, I'd like to thank you for creating such an amazing muscle building program. I've been strength training for over 12 years and frustrated with the lack of results. I've been following your program for almost 2 years now and I see a significant improvement. I'm not aiming to look like a bodybuilder. I just wanted to put on noticable muscle and look solid and healthy and I think that I've acheived that. I didn't tell my boyfriend that I've been training differently, and about 7-8 months into the program he felt my arms and said "Dang!, what have you been doing?! So anyway, thanks!

42 Year Old Stops Diabetic Medication & Builds The Most Impressive Physique Of His Life With MuscleNOW!

Mr. Castano,

The program is working very well. Not only has there been a significant improvement in my physique, but my doctor has cut my diabetes medication in half because of the results of the program on by blood glucose levels. As far as I'm concerned, this alone makes MuscleNOW far better than any program I've even considered using. THANK YOU for all your help!

An Update From Scott

I started using the MuscleNOW program on my 42nd birthday. I had no problem adhering to the program so I've been sticking to it with gusto. Frankly, MuscleNOW has turned out to be the best bodybuilding program I have ever used. Firstly, my physique has never come close to showing such impressive development at any time in my life, and I am much stronger than I have ever been before. In addition, I don't just look impressive, I am in much better physical condition (aerobic as well as anaerobic) than most of the people I know that are only half my age. Finally, one of the major fringe benefits of the program is the money I've saved (undoubtedly thousands) by not using supplements. This aspect of the program more than makes MuscleNOW pay for itself.

...and if you thought THAT was good news...

As you may recall, I am a diabetic. The results of my yearly physical came in just prior to my 44th birthday. Guess what's happened after my using MuscleNOW for only 2 years? My Doctor recommended that I cease and desist from taking any diabetic medications, as I don't need them any more! The fact is, I was initially diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago. Do you know what this means to me? AFTER ONE DECADE, I NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE MEDICATIONS TO CONTROL MY BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS!! Needless to say, I was quite pleased by this news. I recall that 2 years ago you made revisions to the diet portion of the MuscleNOW program to accommodate my diabetes. Now you know just how effective those revisions were.

I don't think that I can possibly thank you enough for developing the MuscleNOW program. Thanx again!

Crohn's Disease Patient Gains 3 Inches On His Chest, 2.5 Inches On His Arms, Increases Stamina & Improves Health With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

Now that the holidays are over and a new year is beginning it is time for me to reflect on this past year. I have a lot to be thankful for and two of them are you and your program.

As you know, I had my doubts about starting your program. Not that I doubted you, but I was nervous as I had tried so many other "regimens" and almost always became ill shortly after beginning. As you know, I have had Crohn's Disease for over 20 years and numerous operations that sometimes go along with the disease. Last year, as a consequence, I underwent surgery to have an ileostomy. At one point I was down to 100 pounds, small even for me who usually weighed around 110. I did gain the 10 pounds back but was told that I would never gain any more than a few pounds, if that, and I should be "satisfied with what I have." Well, I was grateful but after rereading your information about the course and you being good enough to answer my questions and concerns, I was convinced I could do better by following your course. And I have.

I have been on your program for about six months. Your book suggests that it will take be longer at 42 years of age to accomplish what someone half my age would do. In addition it has taken me even longer due to my illness and corresponding adaptations however I am pleased to report an 11% gain in weight while my waist has decreased 6% in "girth." My chest has gained 3 inches and my arms 2 1/2 inches. My wife says the "chicken legs" are on the way out. Granted I have a very long way to go and I did miss a month due to a shoulder injury caused by my over enthusiasm and a couple of weeks due to some very small flare-ups of the disease, but I'm seeing the progress I've made in everyday life. Whether it be carrying packages, moving furniture, shoveling the driveway, I'm doing all of it with increased strength and stamina. It's a feeling I haven't experienced since I can't remember when. It feels great!

Most of all I'm grateful because I believe this course, with all of its demands for the betterment of ourselves, has kept me out of the hospital for the first calendar year out of the last six! Now, if that's not getting your money's worth, I don't know what is. At the rate of hospitalization, who knows what you saved me!

I would like to take this time to write that if there are others reading this who have a disease or condition where they have been told to "just be satisfied with what you have" and don't feel like there's much hope to get yourself into good or at least better shape, PLEASE give this course a chance. By giving it a try, with great effort and determination, you too can be in much better condition than you currently are in. Both physically and mentally.

Francesco, I really don't know the words to use to express my gratitude for you and your program. I believe that everyone has a purpose while on this Earth and I feel as though you have, and continue to, fulfill yours to the fullest. God bless you.

16 Year Old Drops Blood Pressure From 145/98 To 128/77 While Burning 20 Pounds Of Fat, Increasing Pull-Ups From 0 To 15 & Adding 30 Pounds To His Bench Press With MuscleNOW!

You might remember me ordering your program after talking to you through e-mail for a while. Well I have not even began on the FULL course yet, just keeping the concepts in mind when eating and excercising. So far Ive lost 20lbs of fat, lowered BOTH numbers on my blood pressure TWENTY POINTS (it was 145/98 now its 128/77), I also increased my pull-ups from ZERO to FIFTEEN (this just blew me away)! Before buying the book I weighed 210lbs, now I am down to 190lbs, because of this I have decided to join the school wrestling team. In addition to losing weight, I have became much stronger, that is how I know all the weight I lost is fat! Regretfully I dont have a good before picture, but I will certainly get one before starting the full program. I'd just like to say, THANKS, this is an awesome program and I am SO glad that I bought it. I will recommend it to all of my friends.

Started wrestling today and I kicked some butt, it's my first year (I'm 16 years old) and I beat 2 second year people in a practice match. I could not believe that, the program helped me get MUCH stronger while losing fat! I increased my bench 30lbs, from 245 to 275!

Thanks from a VERY satisfied customer!

50 Year Old Drops His Cholesterol From 210 To 148, Shocking His Doctor With Health Improvements, and Develops An Impressive Physique With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I've been using your program for nearly one year. I recently turned 50 and hadn't had a physical in 3 yrs so this past Monday I got one. I got my lab reports yesterday. Last exam my total cholesterol was about 210 now it is 148, HDL is 54, LDL is 85, CHOL/HDLC Ratio is 2.74, my total PSA 1.2 and everything else tested just as good. My MD was pleasantly shocked and surprised, needless to say so was I. Your program is not only good for your outside but for your insides too.

I'm in better shape now at 50 than I was 25 years ago and bodybuilding wise have made improvements that I previously thought I was too old to make.

An Update From Charlie

Francesco, I thought I would update you on my recent progress. In 7 months I have lost 42 lbs. So last Friday, I went to a local health club for a fitness analysis. My blood pressure was 100 / 70, resting heart rate was 60 bpm., and my total body fat was 7%. My definition and vascularity are greatly increased ,my abs are now visible and I have separation between my delts and arms. My arms and lower abs look like a road map, and I have a vein about the size of a pencil that runs from my knuckle all the way up to my shoulders. I have surprised everyone and especially myself. I didn't think it was possible but I look and I am more fit at 50 than I was at 20. Your program coupled with a little patience, discipline and consistency works great. Thanks for all your help and encouragement.

Greatly Reduces Back Pain While
Building Muscle & Burning Fat With MuscleNOW!

I'm in my 6th week of my first cycle. I'm very impressed with the results. Even though I haven't followed your diet plan exactly, I have used it as a guide. I'm starting to see allot more muscle, I am slowly melting away the love handles while gaining muscle.

Also I have had back problems for years, but my back has never felt better. I used to live off ibuprofen and now I hardly ever need it because sciatic pain has greatly decreased. Also I really like the psychological thinking you touched on in the beginning of your guide, I could really relate to some of the lame excuses and reasoning I would tell myself, it helped me be more aware of what not to do and prepare myself mentally to succeed. Anyway thanks for help.

Reduces Blood Pressure With MuscleNOW!

My blood pressure since starting your program 5 weeks ago has dropped from the 130's/85's to the 115-117/75. That, my friend, is awesome and pretty significant. My pulse had dropped into the 60s as well. I am on the way!!!

I take my BP all the time on real, calibrated BP machines at my hospital. I KNOW what my BP norms are. I have seen it rise since getting out of the military as I've gotten more and more lazy. In 6 weeks of doing your program, the drops are just unreal.

I want you to know why I chose your program over the hundreds of others out there. One, you weren't afraid to mention Christ. That speaks volumes. Two, you cut through all the marketing ploys and simply told the truth. As a nurse, I know how the body works. I know how muscles grow. I know that you are telling the truth. I know that supplements, and even vitamins for the most part, are useless, with few exceptions...calcium and potassium being very important. The fact that you recommend NOT using supplements separates you from the competition. Three, in your picture, you aren't shaved. Now, I don't have anything against bodybuilders who shave..to each his own and all that, especially if you're competing. However, I remember saying to my wife, "Look, this guy doesn't shave! He actually has hair on his arms and chest. He's being realistic. He doesn't have oil all over his body either!" And finally, you don't have 35 photos of yourself plastered all over the website. Your site isn't vain like virtually every other one out there. No women in string bikinis, thongs, etc. You have class. That's why I chose your program and recommend it to anyone interested. Thanks for everything.

Reduces Blood Pressure & Loses 31 Pounds Of Fat With MuscleNOW!

Great news! I went to get a physical the 1st week of October before I began the routine. At that time, I was 221 lbs and my diastolic blood pressure was 105 which they said was high and wanted me to schedule a 2 month follow up. I went in yesterday afternoon, and my weight is down to 213, and my diastolic blood pressure dropped to 84. My doctor told me I was the 3rd patient he saw yesterday as a follow up for high blood pressure, but I was the only one who didn't need a prescription for high blood pressure medicine! He said my cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and weight were all down. Just to be safe, he set me up for a 6 month follow up which is next week. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thank you sooo much for all your help and the effort it took to lay out your course.

An Update From Michael

On my wife's and I one year anniversary, I got an anniversary ring which was too small. Instead of resizing it, I dieted for what seemed like ever until it fit. Now, in just the couple months I've been following your guide, I have to get both my wedding ring and my anniversary ring resized down a size! If I hold my hands straight down at my sides, the rings will literally fall off my fingers. I'm going to scan and mail a copy of my bill which is one I definitely don't mind paying. I'm very excited in seeing the changes in myself in the coming new year. Thank you again.

Another Update From Michael

My doctor's appointment went great! He's very impressed by the weight I've lost. He says I'm much healthier, as my blood pressure is down to 110 over 80. I failed to ask him what it was before, but I know it must have been high as he was contemplating prescribing me medicine for high blood pressure. I went to the doctor in October weighing in at 221. 3 months later, I had dropped to 206. This time I weighed in at 184, and I'm now on a building phase as I hit my 175 goal weight! So in the last 6 months, I lost 31 lbs of fat, increased my calories, and gained an additional 9 lbs. I love this program! Thank you very much. I just ordered your www.FatVanish.com program yesterday for my wife. She sees what the MuscleNOW program has done for me, and she wanted something for herself. I'm sure she'll enjoy it immensely. My brother in law is down from Washington. I haven't seen him since last 4th of July when my wife and I flew up there. He barely recognized me! He lifts a lot too, and he noticed the major difference.

Seth Is Gaining Muscle & Burning Fat Simultaneously With MuscleNOW!

Dear Francesco,

Thanks a lot for the help with the diet. Your guide has helped me to be able to eat the right things a lot easier. I just wanted to tell you that i have completed the 1-set week and that i am half-way through the 2-set week. To my surprise, i have achieved some pretty dramatic results as compaired to previous workout efforts before MuscleNow. I changed my mind about the muscle building fase and decided to go for fat-loss (i have done nothing but sit around and eat terribly this winter and it has really caught up to me.) Now, on the 2-set week i have started eating the recommended carbs and protein that you provided in your book. The fat on my stomach (my main concern) is really disappearing more and more each day. I really notice a difference each day i wake up. Also, my muscles in my chest and arms especially are responding very well to the workouts. I was a bit skeptical about your system at first but i am acheiving almost instant results with your system now. I have built such a great confidence with your system now. It feels so good to actually be able to trust the workout plan that you are partaking in. I cant wait to see what happens after i complete the first cycle, and then the second, and then on and on. I will let you know if i have any problems throughout my workouts. I also just wanted to thank you for being such a great help to me...its such a relief to have a workout program to follow that has an author that is truly worried about his customers' problems...I feel like i cant fail in my quest to be more muscular....

An Update From Seth

Hey Francesco,

First of all i would like to thank you for your help w/my questions prior to me beginning the program. Other than that, i have great news. I have just recently completed the first 6 week cycle of MuscleNow. I haven't been measuring but i have achieved some pretty impressive results for my standards anyway. My arms and chest are really growing in size fast. People compliment me daily on my new and bigger size. It seems like everytime i go somewhere someone is telling me "Man, Seth have you been lifting weights? Your arms are really getting big." And let me tell you, It feels great to hear that from people. During the first cycle i really didnt notice much of a change in my strength and i was beginning to get worried that i wasn't doing the program right, but i really think that my muscles were just tired from adjusting to the new workload each week therefore not letting me see any strength results. However, this week i have just started the 2nd cycle and am now back on the 2-set week. Now i can really tell i have gotten a lot stronger. Here's a list of my strength accomplishments in just 6 weeks.

These are workout weights, not max-out weights.

Bench-135 improved to 150---15lbs of improvement!!!
Incline dumbell-40s improved to 50s---20 total pounds of improvement!
Curls with dumbells-35s improved to 45s---20 pounds!!
Shoulder Press-55 impoved to 75---20 pounds!!
Squats-225 improved to 275---50 pounds!!!!!!!!
Lateral Pull-downs have improved amazingly---i've gone from doing 180lbs to doing 220 with ease...i could do more but thats as high as the machine goes!!!

Those are really the excercizes that i have really been keeping track of but on every single thing in the workout i have added a considerable amount of weight.

My weight fluctuates between 185-187...I started at 181 so i have gained some weight but i really think my fat levels are dropping a lot thanks to following the diet....(I used to eat way too much fast food and I really had more fat than i do now.) My abs are becoming more and more visible each week.

I am very happy with my results so far and now i am even more driven to continue the workouts in hopes of achieving even better improvements.

Thanks Alot for all your help Francesco.

I've never felt so confident and secure with a workout plan and without confidence in my workout i really dont have the full motivation to follow it. I have dealt with this lack of confidence with every workout plan i have tried until now....Thanks for making this fantastic guide to lifting weights and dieting....It really has made my life a lot better.

Thanks Alot,

65 Year Old Achieving Results With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

It's a refreshing presentation that I have the pleasure of following. I've been a student of bodybuilding for years but have not exerted the dedication or consistency necessary to achieve great results. I've always taken good care of my mind and body. Now, I'm retired and find time, daily, to pursue my goals, one of which is fine tuning what I have left to work with. I'm presently 62 years old and have no physical infirmities. Since studying your recommendatioms I must say I'm impressed with my gains. Diet + consistancy + reps to fail have made my workouts interesting and productive. I'm in the gym at most 50 min. Enough about me, just wanted to let you know how valuable your course has been to me.

Your program never ceases to move and motivate me each time I review its contents. I enjoy reading through, time and again, your theory and reasoning especially when I can use a "kick in the Proverbial gluteus maximums/minimus"

An Update From Arthur

Francesco, It's been awhile, Your guidlines are still the most effective ,common sense advise anywhere. I trust all is well with you and family. I past a milestone in May. I'm ,now, offically a member of Medicare. (65 yrs old qualifier)

Another 65 Year Old Improving His Body & Health With MuscleNOW!

Francesco,

I have had your course for a bit over two years now and while I have not been as diligent at following it as I should have, I can tell you that the times I did get serious and followed your instructions, I, as well as the regulars at the health club I attended, noticed the rapid results. Yes, when you follow the plan, it DOES work! The fact it works shouldn't be surprising but what is surprising is that I am 65 YEARS OLD and it works for me!

I am not necessarily trying to be a body builder at my age but am just trying to forestall and avoid the infirmities of aging that will, eventually, happen to us all. And I think that I have been pretty successful, too, when I look at many of those in my age group, and even younger; a lot younger, in some cases. I know I look and feel better, have maintained my balance and agility (which is a problem with many of us "seniors") and have continued a "zest" for life I find missing in many.

I do use the health club machines instead of free weights to avoid possible injury but, again, I am not looking to maximize muscle development.

I guess the message I would give to any "seniors" that might happen on your web site, is this: Get your doctor's approval, follow the "MuscleNOW" program at whatever level is appropriate for you and START!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO GET IN SHAPE!

Hi Francesco,

Here is my testimonial:

In March I decided to find a new body building program because I felt routine could no more bring me results I expected. Indeed the same excercises, same repetitions and the fact I did not respect any rest time were, to me, the reasons why I could not get expected level of muscle . I found your site and I said to myself why not!!! The book looked good, complete, written by a body builder (good news) and the testimonials of men who claimed the program is very effective. I could also see the pictures of men before the program and after. NOTHING TO ADD.

I orded the book and read it. With the online help service I could receive very quickly answers to misunderstandings.

I applied then at the gym club the program. The first thing I had to do was to forget what I heard before in the gym club. Indeed too many guys talk about body building, told me "you should do this", "you should do that" but actually they talked about body building without any true knowledges. It was just rumour, uncorrect information... . I had to stick to the book and to believe in what the author claimed.

In order to know if the book was good I had to perform the excercises according to the book. I chose program A with 5 taining sessions per weeks from Monday to Friday and started a cycle that includes 6 weeks.

My sessions lasted about 1h30 to maximum 2hours. With this new program I had to be very "programabiding" that is to say I had to fully respect the order of the excercises from the training chart (e.g the flat bench press fi
