A state-of-the-art weight-lifting and nutritional blueprint for "skinny" guys who want to pack on muscle Let's face it, naturally skinny guys are at a distinct genetic disadvantage when it comes to building muscle mass. But with the proper advice, these "hardgainers" definitely can realize their fitness goals. In Scrawny to Brawny, the authors draw on their years of practical experience as private strength and nutrition coaches to provide hardgainers with: • A progressive, state-of-the-art program that optimizes results with shorter, less frequent workouts that maximize compound exercises • A unique, action-based perspective on nutrition that shows how to prepare quick muscle-building meals and snacks-and how to take advantage of several critical times in the day when muscle growth can be stimulated by food intake • Vital information on how to identify and fix any weak links in their physiques that may be precursors to injury Designed not only for frustrated adult hardgainers but also--with its strong anti-steroid message--a terrific book for the large teen market, Scrawny to Brawny fills a significant gap in the weight-lifting arsenal.

Through use of recent research, charts, graphs, tables, and photos, Dr. Hatfield delivers vital, new information no bodybuilder--male or female--should be without.

Initially, Robert Sikes embraced "bro dieting" in order to win bodybuilding shows. He soon found out, however, that the side effects were disastrous.Despite athletic successes, Sikes' high-carb, low-nutrient crash dieting led to imbalanced hormones, a lowered sex drive, diminished strength and an unhealthy relationship with food. Struggling with disordered eating, Sikes could see no way out of his self-created hell-until, that is, he found the ketogenic diet.After seeing drastic improvements in his gym performance, relationships and overall health, Sikes pioneered a new method of natural bodybuilding that leveraged a ketogenic protocol with high dietary fats and nutrient-dense foods.The wisdom gleaned from his rigorous self-experimentation is compiled in Ketogenic Bodybuilding, a comprehensive guide to achieving show-level conditioning by following a healthy, sustainable ketogenic plan.In Ketogenic Bodybuilding, readers will learn:-The seven phases necessary for successful contest prep and reverse dieting-The mindset and manipulations required for success in each phase-Nutritional meals with enough "caloric runway" to properly fuel the training demands -How strategic ketogenic refeeds can control metabolism and help push through plateaus-The three levers to manipulate for optimal cardio (and progressive overload training)-Why safe "reverse dieting" after a show is as important as the prep itself-The ins-and-outs of posing, tanning, exercise, supplements and more in multiple appendicesIn Ketogenic Bodybuilding, Sikes has produced a guide that proves natural ketogenic bodybuilding isn't simply competitive; when used correctly, it is positively savage.
