Here are two ebooks I can’t recommend strongly enough. I have bought and used both simultaneously over the last few years. Both have helped me put on muscle as well as teach me how to correctly train with free weights safely and correctly. If the last time you lifted a weight was years ago in High School, than you need to brush up on all the new theories and techniques, a lot has changed! For women, I would check out Truth About Abs, as it’s more of a unisex program a caters a bit more to the Newbie in us.

Truth About Abs
There is a good reason you see the Truth About Abs ads everyone on the web, it’s because Mike Geary’s program really works, both for men and women. It’s not just about the abs, since you really can’t have defined abs without the rest of you being defined–including your diet. I bought this ebook years ago and still consult my tattered PDF copy of it.
Muscle Gaining Secrets
Jason Ferruggia’s ebook is probably one of the best muscle building books out there–it’s geared toward putting on serious muscle, with workout regimes for complete beginners to professional body builders. He runs a gym in Brooklyn, this guy is the real deal, and he specializes in programs for guys who have a hard time putting on muscle.
How I utilized these resources during my weight loss phase:
Both books cover a lot of the same territory. Ferruggia’s book is more for bulking up, and I would use his beginner and intermediate workouts to make some quick and fast muscle gains, helping boost my metabolism and lean body mass. After a couple months I would switch over to Geary’s program, as I’m not too into body building size and prefer a leaner physique.
Both books also are great to brush up on the correct way to lift free weights. I hadn’t really had any training in lifting since High School and was amazed at how much has changed–the bench press is now bad for you?! If only I knew back then what these guys are teaching us today, I would have been the biggest guy in the county.
Where can I find a listing of all the foods that I should eat. Your website doesn’t really answer that question-only gives you a few things.
Hi,
I probably should include a list of foods to eat, thanks for the heads up. For now, try http://cavemandietfoods.com/ where there is a good list of foods to get you going. Or The Paleo Diet book by Loren Cordain, or Robb Wolf’s new book The Paleo Solution.
