He
emailed me a few times, constructing different workouts and
different diet ideas, and I did what I could to help him along.
I
liked Alex. He was young, very willing to learn, and more
importantly asked a lot of questions! For this last reason
alone, he will go far.
After
a while, one of those questions was, "How
can I design a program for my girlfriend to lose weight?"
Meet
Natalie.
Natalie
had never lifted weights before, having the preconceived,
but very common belief that weight training would give her
big muscles
It's
probably the most widespread, and yet the most detrimental
notion among women everywhere. Regardless of having a distinct
genetic and hormonal advantage, men in gyms around the world
sweat blood throwing around weights that can total multiples
of their bodyweight for every last ounce of muscle they can
get, yet despite this, women are lead to believe (through
no fault of their own) that they have to so much as look at
a weight, and they'll grow like a weed!
That's
one of the reasons this book came about.
By
his own admission, Alex certainly wasn't in bad shape
when he decided to do this course, but he desperately wanted
to peel away those last pounds of fat covering his six pack
and didn't know how to go about it as everything he had tried
didn't seem to be working. Natalie on the other hand, just
wanted to fit into some smaller clothes!
It's
misconceptions like the one above, however, that prevent people
from getting where they want to be. A misconception can be
a dangerous thing in the gym world. They cost time and money!
To most people, time and money are precious. Here's a few
you've probably heard:
 |
You
need to work out 6-7 days per week |
|
|
You
need to use 'x' pill or 'y' potion, a non-supplemented diet
is lunacy |
|
You
need to restrict the fat and carbohydrates in your diet, favouring
protein
|
Here's
what Sculpting the Perfect Hard Body, says:
|
|
You
need work out no more than 3 times per week |
|
Supplements,
pills or powders, are not necessary |
|
Carbohydrates
and fats are just as important as proteins, not just for dieting
but for long-term health

I thought that I would post my results because I'm so pleased
. I just had to tell someone and I figured that here would
be the place that they would be the most well received.
So
after 4 weeks of fat loss I have gone from 153 lbs and 16.5%
BF to 148lbs and 11.6% BF, an 8 lb fat loss and 3 lb muscle
gain!

I did what you suggested for a two week mini-phase Anthony,
and it seems to have worked a treat. I've managed to get to
my pre-bulking goal of less than 10% BF .
I
now weigh 145 lbs and I'm 9.5% bodyfat, another 3 lb fat loss!

After 6 weeks of Bulking, I went from 145 lbs and 9.5% to
162 lbs and 11.6%! That's 11 lbs heavier than my original
starting weight, but 6 lbs of fat lighter, a total muscle
gain of over a stone! - Dan |
Sculpting
the Perfect Hard Body is divided into three phases...
1... Initial
Fat Loss
2... Bulking
Up
3... Final Sculpting
Each
phase is a four-week mini program and they work like this:
Lets
say for example you are a skinny guy who is carrying just enough
fat to hide those all-important 'cuts'...
You
have two goals. Build some substantial muscle, and lose a bit of
fat. If you were to plan a 12-week period, you might do two Bulking
Up phases for the first 8 weeks, and then a Final Sculpting phase
for the final 4 weeks.
Following
that same example, let's say you got to the end of week 8 and still
wanted some more muscle before you 'sculpted'. No problem! Just
do another bulking phase, and then put the Final Sculpting phase
at the end, taking your total workout length to 16 weeks.
Lets
say you've got more than a little bit of fat to lose...
No
problem! Again, using 12 weeks as our time frame, you might do two
Initial Fat Loss phases, and then follow that with a Final Sculpting
phase.

Just
finished my first month and lost 10lbs of fat and, despite
having a week off going to the gym due to a family bereavement,
lost no muscle!!! Amazing.
Starting
a second fat loss phase to get me down to 10% body fat - Mike |
It's
completely flexible!
If
you need to insert extra phases, you can. If you manage to exceed
your expectations, and are in a position to drop a phase… Absolutely no problem at all!
The
only thing Sculpting the Perfect Hard Body assumes is that
you have access to exercise equipment, be it in a gym or at home,
and a basic repertoire of exercises.
So
how did Alex and Natalie do?
Well,
pictures speak a thousand words, but here's a quick rundown.
Over
a twelve week period:
|
Alex
gained 6 lbs of muscle while losing 14 lbs of fat, dropping
his bodyfat percent from 14.1% to 7.2%
He
also gained ½ inch
on each arm and over 1½
inches on his chest, while reducing his waist measurement by 3 inches!
Natalie
gained an astonishing 9 lbs of muscle while losing 13 lbs
of fat, dropping her bodyfat percent from 26.4% to 17.6%
She
also took
over 2 inches from her waist measurement and dropped 2 dress sizes!

So
is that the end for their Hard Body sculpting? No
way! It's just the beginning! You will be able to read about
how far they've come since the completion of their original Hard
Body program on the Community Area Forum where Alex and Natalie
keep an online diary!
If
you have the desire and discipline to sculpt your perfect Hard Body,
this is the book for you!
