"Following Marc's program, I've gone
from 235 lbs to 221 lbs in the first
17 days!"
 Years
ago, I was in the marines and was
very fit. I ran an 8 minute mile. I
was a member of a gym. I lifted
weights regularly. Then my
professional career took off and I
started to put on the pounds. I had
a terrible diet. I didn’t eat
breakfast, I had a high intake of
caffeinated beverages (very little
water), ate over-processed foods,
and was headed for a very unhealthy
lifestyle. I went from 167 lbs up to
235 lbs over the course of four
years.
I think the breaking point was after
having my daughter. I decided I HAD
to get back into shape. I tried
Atkins and Weight Watchers and lost
some weight, but always gained it
back (and more) when the diet ended.
I bought a home gym, worked out for
a month, then stopped. I tried to
run, but pain in one of my legs
(because of my excess weight) caused
me to quit again.
Then a co-worker recommended Marc’s
website to me and I downloaded
Marc’s e-book, “NoBull
Bodybuilding.” After reading your
book, I changed my diet and joined a
gym.
Following your simple program, I
have gone from 235 lbs to 221 lbs in
the first 17 days! That’s 14 lbs
lost in 2 1/2 weeks! I know they say
you should lose only 1 to 2 lbs a
week, but I attribute the loss of my
weight to a major overhaul in my
lifestyle. I feel so much better, I
have more energy, and now, I
actually look forward to my gym
visits. My face looks a thinner, my
clothes fit better, and people have
asked me if I have lost weight.
I am now looking forward to reaching
my first major goal of 200 lbs by
October. When I get down to my long
term goal of 155 lbs, I plan to
follow your methods for putting on
muscle bulk, but for now my goal is
to lose weight and get fit.
Thanks to your book, and all the
other resources included in it, I
know I can accomplish these goals.
The book is a road map to my success
and following it I know I can make a
lifestyle change that will help me
to stay in shape and possibly extend
my longevity.
Thank you for putting together such
a wonderful book.
Sincerely,
|

"It’s a Lot Easier to Read
This Book Than to Waste a Year or Two
Learning the Hard Way.”
I have read the
book and really like it. I have been
lifting for about 3 years now. I really
wish I would have found this book 3
years ago. It lays every thing out nice
and neat. It is well written and was an
enjoyable read. The book confirmed a lot
of things that I already knew and I
picked up several tips and web links
that have helped immensely.
Thanks for the book and for opening the
doors to other e-books and resources. It
doesn’t matter what “plan” or training
principles you use. The most important
thing you can do (besides eating,
training and recovery) is to educate
yourself. It’s a lot easier to read this
book than to waste a year or two
learning the hard way.
Thanks again,

"You Have Saved Me Valuable
Time and Money."
Marc,
I have a very hectic life working
full-time at a radio station, owning my
own business, and working part time in
auto mechanics. I needed a resource to
help me achieve the body I want and yet
fit my schedule. I didn’t have time to
read multiple books, do the research, go
to the gym, and still have time for my
family. What’s ironic is that I was
willing to do the work and learn all
about my professional life, but when it
came to my “health and fitness” I felt I
didn’t need to dedicate the time
(backwards thinking, that’s for sure.)
That is where your book has come in. You
have saved me valuable time and money.
You have done all the work and made it
easy to understand. I knew very little
about the “proper” way to bodybuilding
and fitness. Now I feel I have the
knowledge to make wise choices about my
health. I am not wasting time with
exercises and foods that just don’t
work. I can see and feel the difference
in my energy level and overall attitude.
In closing “Thank you” for writing a
book that has impacted me in such a
positive way.
God bless you,

"I Was a Real Beginner at
the Age of 58, It Was About Time That I
Began."
I’m still on the beginner’s workout
suggested by Marc. Varying the daily
varying of exercises for differing body
areas ( combined with cardio
before-and-after exercises ) is a good
program. I’ve increased my equipment
weight levels a little. I learned from
Marc that that body building is a long
term process and that diet and strength
training must go hand in hand. I can see
a little better abdominal form now. My
shoulders, chest and arms have developed
a little. I was a real beginner and, at
the age of 58, it was about time that I
began. Marc’s information on body
building for individuals over forty came
in handy.
Thanks to Marc I’m using creatine daily,
but I’m glad that I learned about
useless supplements from Marc and that
you need a proper combination of diet
and exercise over a long term period to
make real progress. The email course
contained valuable daily ideas too. I’d
already bought the book but the emails
reinforced its ideas. The links and
suggestions for other resources that the
emails contained were useful as well.

"I Have Broken a Bench
Press Plateau and Hit an All Time Best
of 275 lbs X 6 With a One Time MAX of
319 lbs."
Even though I have only been on your
program for just over 2 months, your
advice has already produced incredible
gains for me. Using your training
recommendations, I have broken a bench
press plateau and hit an all time best
of 275 lbs X 6 with a one time MAX of
319 lbs. (breaking my old max of 265
lbs). 8 years ago I had a heart attack
and double bypass and have been
struggling to come back ever since.
After almost 7 years of fruitless
effort, I decided to get smart about my
body and my goals. Your information and
all of the great resources and links you
provided have finally given me an
approach that works.
