Have you been going to the gym for several months now, yet you feel as if you don't look any different? Or maybe you feel as if, for the amount of time you put into the gym, you should be a lot bigger or a lot more muscular than you currently are... And if you've ever wondered if you're missing a piece of the puzzle, know that I once felt the same way. But if you are missing a piece of the puzzle, I can assure you that it is not some secret training program, technique, or supplement... Because building muscle isn't as complicated as the fitness industry wants you to believe. There are no more remaining "secrets" that you need to unravel, regardless of whatever the next fitness guru tells you. Truth is the health and fitness industry is a lucrative market that is being capitalized on by marketers... And people like us - people who want to become the best versions of ourselves - are being taken advantage of and sold the same concepts repackaged under different names. Other times, we are lied to about our natural potential, and oversold the benefits that their products or supplements can bring us. But building muscle is actually a really simple process. You already know what to do. You just lack the confidence to do it. This book will dispel all the nonsense and reveal the truth about building muscle so that you can stop wasting your time trying to identify what works and what doesn't, and start sculpting a more muscular, more confident and better you. With references to over 20 of the best scientific studies available, discover: How to avoid the most common mistake people make with their training and programming (pg. 8) Why "new and revolutionary" is a marketing tool, and just how old the newest training revolution really is (pg. 4) How to tell good research from bad, the different levels of scientific evidence, and how to properly gauge "backed by science" and "research-based" claims (pg. 29) What the ideal rep range for muscle growth really is (hint: it's not 8-12 reps!) (pg. 68) How to quantify your training the correct way using the new, scientifically-accepted formula for volume (pg. 81) How you can make up to 63% more gains changing only 1 training variable (pg. 65) Why strength training and periodization is unnecessary for muscle growth (pg. 73, 94) The advantage hardgainers have when it comes to building muscle (pg. 118) What supplements you should consider, especially if you don't eat animal products (one of which can alleviate symptoms of mental retardation) (pg. 130) Why bench presses are not enough for chest development; the underused triceps extension for better triceps development; and why overhead presses may be a waste of time (pg. 144) The laws of muscle growth - understand and apply these 2-3 concepts and you WILL build muscle (pg. 18) Not only is everything in this book backed by science, but there are also observations from World renowned coaches.

It is a commonly held belief that athletes, particularly body builders, have greater requirements for dietary protein than sedentary individuals. However, the evidence in support of this contention is controversial. This book is the latest in a series of publications designed to inform both civilian and military scientists and personnel about issues related to nutrition and military service. Among the many other stressors they experience, soldiers face unique nutritional demands during combat. Of particular concern is the role that dietary protein might play in controlling muscle mass and strength, response to injury and infection, and cognitive performance. The first part of the book contains the committee's summary of the workshop, responses to the Army's questions, conclusions, and recommendations. The remainder of the book contains papers contributed by speakers at the workshop on such topics as, the effects of aging and hormones on regulation of muscle mass and function, alterations in protein metabolism due to the stress of injury or infection, the role of individual amino acids, the components of proteins, as neurotransmitters, hormones, and modulators of various physiological processes, and the efficacy and safety considerations associated with dietary supplements aimed at enhancing performance.
