Is the No Nonsense Muscle Building Program Right for You?

By Caitlin Ryan

So many choices, so little time! There are so many muscle-building programs on the internet today that choosing one can be very confusing. In deciding whether one is right for you, you have to keep in mind three factors.

Make sure a qualified fitness trainer designed the program. You also want to make sure that muscle-building program uses proven techniques. And third, make sure that the muscle building program can address YOUR needs in a way that fits your lifestyle.

Vince Delmonte developed the No Nonsense Muscle Building Program. He has had years of experience as a fitness trainer and he himself is a picture of perfection in terms of muscle and fitness. His physique is cut, chiseled and rock hard with 10% body fat.

His co-author of the book is Shannon Clark who is a highly recognized internet fitness writer. She too is in fabulous shape and has a BPP in sports performance and personal trainer credentials. Both she and Vince have worked with hundreds of people over the years to help them transform flabby or bony bodies into sculpted, healthy, gorgeous bodies.

A key and proven element in bodybuilding is to use progressive overload. When you use this method as outlined in this no nonsense muscle-building program, you increase the amount of weight continuously in lifting. As Vince explains, this is necessary to challenge your muscles and build the muscle mass. This is the only way to achieve that cut, chiseled look OR the sensual curves that many women desire.

Recovery is also emphasized in this muscle-building program. When you do not rest muscles in between sets, you produce endurance muscles, which will be long and skinny. You also risk injury when you do not rest your muscles adequately in between workouts. Vince guides you through proper nutrition and advice on sleep guidelines to speed up this process and avoid excessive release of cortisol. Excessive amounts of cortisol from stress have been found to cause weight gain especially in the abdominal region.

There is also a big emphasis in Vince's muscle building program to use proper nutrition and adequate training rather than supplements to meet your training goals. No powder, pill or liquid can replace nutrition and proper training.

Whether you are a beginner or a competitive body builder, this no nonsense muscle-building program addresses your needs and teaches you how to tailor the program to suit your needs and life. Because of the efficiency of the program, you can plan to spend less time in the gym than other programs to achieve the same or better results.

Motivation is important in the physical fitness arena, and Vince and Shannon have certainly provided some very good motivational tools. They also go over the importance of clean eating and give you clever advice on how you can achieve proper nutrition.

They shock the reader and bust open fitness industry myths and exploitations. I was surprised to find out that the majority of top muscle building and fitness magazines are actually owned by supplement companies. - 17944
