Jonathan Perez's Skinny To Muscular Program is good basic guide to muscle
building and weight gain with a unique workout program that will keep your
time in the gym to a minimum. Unlike a lot of the muscle building programs
on the market, Jonathan doesn't give you any false impressions about what
his Skinny To Muscular program is, it's a 114 page manual plain and simple.
The core of the Skinny To Muscular program is divided into two equally
important parts. The first section of the book covers the entire training
program and walks you through Jonathan's thought process about what works,
and what doesn't. Topics covered include, rep speed, form, negatives, how
to warm up, rest periods and sample workouts to perform.
In addition to the workout explanation, Jonathan also gives examples of
how to stretch, when to increase weight and what types of exercises are
best for each muscle group. The Skinny To Muscular program is different
from a lot of the other muscle building programs in the fact that Jonathan
suggests a very low volume of sets and reps for each workout. There is
a twist to his training that allows maximum muscle stimulation in a minimum
number of actual work sets.
Like a lot of other programs, Skinny To Muscular doesn't give you
a total step-by-step diet plan to follow, instead Jonathan gives specific
instructions about how to cycle calories, how to avoid getting sucked into
the "protein myth", and also how to divide and spread your calorie
consumption out over the course each workout day and no-workout day.
One of the more interesting diet components of the Skinny To Muscular
program is the recommendation to bulk up and eat like a horse to gain
muscle mass, then shed the weight to reveal the new muscle that was
gained during the bulking phase. You won't see this tactic mentioned
in many of the other programs but it does work, that's how the
bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno used to do
it in the 1960's and it's still effective today.
