Publisher's Summary

The bestselling fitness book for men who want to gain 25-35 pounds of lean muscle and lose as much fat or more in just 3-5 hours per week—and without giving up delicious foods or doing grueling workouts.

Is Bigger Leaner Stronger a body building book that can help you pack on brain-shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat?

No.

Is it a fitness nutrition book full of dubious diet and exercise “hacks” and “shortcuts” for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet?

Absolutely not.

But is it a science-based strength training book (and nutrition book) that’ll demystify building muscle and losing fat and show you exactly how to get a lean, strong, and muscular physique without spending hours in the gym every day?

And while still enjoying your favorite foods, like hamburgers, pizza, and ice cream?

Yes.

And you’ll see visible results in the mirror and gym in your first month on the program.

Here are just a few of the things you’ll discover inside this muscle building book for men:

● The 10 biggest fitness myths and mistakes that keep guys frail and confused. For example, “calories are all that matters,” “carbs and sugars make you fat,” and “some guys don’t have the genetics to get big.”

● The primary driver of muscle growth that forces your muscles to get bigger and stronger. And no, it has nothing to do with “muscle confusion,” “functional training,” or any other pseudoscientific fitness nonsense.

● How to create meal plans for building muscle and losing fat with foods you love so you never feel starved, deprived, or like you're "on a diet" (and especially a “bodybuilding diet”).

● A 12-month workout program that shows you how to use principles and methods taught in the book to build a full chest, wide shoulders and back, powerful legs, and strong arms.

● A no-BS guide to fitness supplements that’ll save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars on useless (and sometimes even dangerous) pills, powders, and potions.

And that’s not all, either . . .

Bigger Leaner Stronger is one of the most popular bodybuilding books of all time, with over 800,000 copies sold in 16 languages, and it has helped tens of thousands of men of all ages and abilities transform their body composition, fitness, and health.

338 peer-reviewed scientific studies support the Bigger Leaner Stronger system of eating, training, and recovering for losing fat and building muscle and strength.

Bigger Leaner Stronger is regularly revised based on the latest findings in nutrition, exercise, and supplementation research, with the latest version (fourth edition) released in 2023.

Here’s the bottom line:

You can get that head-turning “Hollywood hunk” body without following weird, extreme, or complicated diet, exercise, or supplementation methods or strategies.

And this workout book for men shows you how.

So, get your copy now, and start your journey to a bigger, leaner, and stronger you.

Very comprehensive but speed needs 1.25x

Went through the first 10 hours of this book at normal speed and it was tough going. Super slow narration, I don’t know if it was a recording problem as the podcasts are nothing like this. Anyways, put it on 1.25x speed and it sounded ok.
Great content, covers every, very comprehensive.

Outstanding!!!!

This is the BEST book I've ever come across to deliver the results everyone craves, but very few are able to achieve.
If you want to be muscular, fit and healthy and make it stick, this is the only way. Mike has everything covered. Just follow the program like he says and you will see results. Thank you Mike!! You're a legend.

Great foundation for strength training

This was a great book which covered all the basics you need to know to put you on the way to being stronger and leaner.
Nothing over complicated and hard to follow - just common sense training advise packaged in a way that is easy to follow.
Worth the listen for those starting out.

Very informative and well researched

I came across this book from a friend doing intermittent fasting.
Mike has a really good grasp of this game.
For those looking for a path, this is the way to go.

Researched and balanced clear guide

This book was one of the best I have listened to with clear guides backed up by balanced arguments and information.
The claims for building or cutting seem credible, up to the reader/participator to make it work.
I particularly like the way options are presented to allow working around real life without compromising a goal.
To summarise I have tried many over 30 or more years so need confidence in the plan to stick to it. This gives me confidence so I will stick to it.

the best and most imformative fitness book

I love this book, it is incredibly honest and exposes the fitness industry for the capitalist juggernauts they really are. Back to basics with some home truths. I actualy enjoy training now.
