About this listen

The bestselling sequel to Bigger Leaner Stronger for experienced weightlifters who want to gain 15-20 pounds of lean muscle without “dirty bulking,” burning out in the gym, or getting hurt.

Is this a bodybuilding book that’ll show you how to obliterate your PRs and get jacked and swole in just 30 days? No.

Is it a muscle building guide full of radical diet and exercise strategies and techniques for packing on slabs of lean mass and shredding piles of body fat faster than a roided cheetah?

Absolutely not.

But is it a fitness and nutrition book that’ll show you how to keep gaining muscle and strength after your “newbie gains” are gone with just 4-to-6 hours of challenging (but not grueling) strength training workouts per week? Yes.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll discover inside this workout plan book for men:

  • The biggest (and most common) dietary mistake among experienced weightlifters that makes it almost impossible to keep gaining muscle and strength no matter what they do in the gym (and it’s not skipping meals, eating too little protein, or eating too much in general).
  • A tried and tested way to “cycle” your calories and carbs when cutting for more energy, less hunger, and fewer cravings, and when lean bulking for gaining more muscle than fat.
  • A little-known but science-based method of accurately determining how much muscle and strength you can ultimately gain given your anatomy and genetics (including calculators to do the math for you).
  • How to “periodize” your training using the time-proven principles of undulation and wave loading to gain up to 22% more strength, according to research (and remember—with more strength comes more muscle).
  • 12 months of paint-by-numbers resistance training workouts for building a fuller chest, wider back, thicker legs, and stronger arms . . . in only 3-to-5 weight training sessions per week.

And that’s not all, either . . .

  • 252 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger system of eating, training, and recovering for losing fat and building muscle and strength.
  • Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger has sold over 100,000 copies and was recently revised based on the latest findings in nutrition and exercise research (hence the second edition).
  • Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger is written by international bestselling author and trainer Mike Matthews, who has sold over 2 million books and been featured in Esquire, Men’s Health, Elle, Women’s Health, Muscle & Strength, and more.

So, imagine . . . just 12 weeks from now . . . looking at the changes in your physique and thinking, "I did that. That's awesome. I'm awesome." And believing it.

The bottom line is you can go from “kinda fit, kinda fat” to “superfit, sub-10% bodyfat” without following a bland, boring, bodybuilding diet and without doing grueling workouts you hate.

And this health fitness book shows you how.

Start your journey to a bigger, leaner, and stronger you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent

I'm just starting the BLS program, and decided to read this so I know what to expect when I finish the BLS program. There was a lot of new information in this book that I found useful and educational.

great info

A bit of an information overload, especially with the Audible version, however that is preferable to some of the other fitness books I've consumed. Write things down as you listen if you can.

Loved It!

Great info for the intermediate to advanced lifter. If you have not read BLS I recommend you pick that up first.
