Muscle Building Nutrition
Muscle Building Nutrition by Will Brink and Charles Poliquin is more than it’s title would suggest. As well as focusing heavily on what to eat to gain weight, this well-researched ebook also reviews the most popular and most controversial supplements. To complete the program, renowned strength coach Poliquin outlines a mass-building training routine. But will it help you gain weight?
As a total weight gain system it is a little disappointing. Particularly when you consider it’s the same price as 7 Steps to Weight Gain (the #1 rated program).
Yes, Muscle Building Nutrition is well researched. The authors have done their homework. But if you are a self confessed hard gainer, if you are naturally very slim and struggle to gain even a pound, look first to 7 Steps to Weight Gain or Gaining Mass.
So why is it recommended on this section of the site?
If you haven’t tried to gain weight in the past then this is a good place to start. You will get the facts from day one and you will save a ton of money on supplements that don’t have an ounce of evidence to back up their claims. Or, if you are happy with the weight training program you are currently using and just want dietary advice, then this is a quick and informative read.
The major downfall of this program, in my opinion, is the training section. It isn’t nearly thorough enough. It’s as though tis section has been added on at the end as an after-thought. Program’s like Anthony Ellis’ Gaining Mass and LeBrun’s 7 Steps to Weight Gain are complete systems –- stick to their step-by-step program and you will gain weight.
Section 1 covers, you guessed it… what to eat to gain weight. It’s well referenced and professionally written. Section 2 focuses on my pet hate… the bodybuilding supplement industry. The scientific articles that Will lists are great if you want to sound convincing and win arguments down the gym!
Section 3 is the training element written by Charles Poliquin. It’s more of a set of guidelines compared to the battle-tested 7 Steps to Weight Gain program used successfully by hundreds of naturally skinny guys.
