You've made a wise decision to purchase this book. Because within these pages, you're going to discover the lost secrets of gaining muscle, burning fat, and developing a classic physique. Eugene Sandow in 1898. These are the techniques and tactics developed long before the invention of steroids... so you can be sure this system will work for regular, drug-free guys like you and me. I'll give you my story in a minute. But first, let's talk about you. Let's talk about how YOU can have a classic physique with far less effort than you might think and how you will look when you achieve your classic physique. So What Exactly Is A “Classic Physique?” Take a look at the photo above. That's Eugene Sandow and that photo was snapped way back in 1898. That is a prime example of a “Classic Physique.” He's lean & muscular. He didn't just look strong, he was strong (more on this in a minute.) Copyright 2014 7 He's proportionate and symmetrical – no single muscle group stands out more than the other. Rather, the entire body is developed in perfect unison. And because he sculpted his physique way back in the late 1800's, we know he was a drug-free trainer. Compare the classic physique of Eugene Sandow to that of today's modern bodybuilder. The modern bodybuilder looks bloated and soft. And while the modern bodybuilder is certainly bigger and more muscular than Sandow.... most guys (myself included) would much rather look like Sandow. And most women would be far more attracted to a guy with Sandow's physique. While the modern bodybuilder might bench press more than Sandow, you can Today's modern bodybuilder: Over- developed, droopy pecs and a swollen bet Sandow would be in better all- belly caused by steroid use. around shape. Sandow could easily beat the modern bodybuilder in a foot race, a grip competition – you name it and 9 times out of 10 Sandow would prevail over today's modern bodybuilder. Plus, it's obvious that today's modern bodybuilder is on all kinds of illegal and dangerous steroids. In stark contrast, Sandow built his physique with nothing more than hard work and smart training. Copyright 2014 8 Sandow Is Just ONE example of a classic physique... When I first found that photo of Sandow, I was intrigued. But I was also skeptical. Maybe Sandow was a genetic freak? Maybe Sandow was the only guy who managed to build a lean and muscular physique with these ancient principles? But then I started digging deeper. And I found MULTIPLE examples of regular guys who built phenomenal physiques... decades before steroids were even invented. Here are just a few more examples: Max Sick – Photo from 1903 Sig Klein, 1924 Copyright 2014 9 Hermann Goerner, 1920 George Hackenschmidt, 1911 Marvin Eder, 1942 Edward Aston, 1921 Copyright 2014 10 As you can see, each of these men built strong, lean & muscular physiques long before steroids were even invented. Here's why this is so important: If there was only one example of a old-time guy who built a lean & muscular physique without drugs, then it could be considered an isolated incident. If there were only two examples of old-time guys who built lean & muscular physiques without drugs, then it could be considered a coincidence. But because I was able to track down MULTIPLE examples of regular guys who managed to build lean & muscular physiques without drugs, then it must be considered a pattern. And PATTERNS can be copied and mirrored. Which means if you can discover what these old time trainers ate & drank... how they trained... and how they lived... then you too can mimic their actions and you too can have a lean & muscular physique. Luckily, I've done all the hard work for you. I've done the research, spent hours tracking down the long lost methods of these old time trainers. And I turned myself into a human guinea pig – meticulously testing each method, each strategy and each technique to figure out what REALLY works for genetically average drug-free trainers like you and me. And if you follow along with this method, you too can have a Classic Physique. Copyright 2014 11 A Glimpse Into Your Future... Before I ask you to trust me... before I ask you to try this method... let me show you what's possible. Let me show you the end result. Eugene Sandow, 1898 Me, 2011 This is me after discovering these ancient fitness secrets. As you can see, my body bears a striking resemblance to Eugene Sandow. This was NOT by accident. This was by design. I saw the photo of Sandow, decided I wanted to look like that and then followed a specific program to make that happen. Copyright 2014 12 I can't predict exactly how you will look when you complete this program. But I can paint a picture for you. Imagine waking up each morning feeling full of energy and vigor. Imagine walking into the bathroom, looking at yourself in the mirror and absolutely loving the way you look. While your friends and family assume you work out for hours each day and starve yourself... you'll know the secret. You'll know you got this body with just a few short & simple workouts each week And you'll know you got this body by enjoying rich, delicious foods and eating heartily at every meal. Imagine laughing at the bodybuilders on the magazine covers – knowing now that you've mastered your physique and you know exactly how to get (and stay) in top physical condition. Imagine easily bounding up flights of stairs without any trouble whatsoever – even though you never do any cardio. Imagine pulling up your shirt to reveal a rock-solid six pack – even though you never do any sit-ups or crunches. Sound too good to be true? That's what I USED to think. But if you'll try my system for just 30 days I think you'll quickly become a believer. A Special Note To Women Although this book was written by a man and in a male voice, I want the women reading this book to know there's no reason why they can't follow this program as well. Women following this program will not gain anywhere near as much muscle as a man. A woman following this program will simply Copyright 2014 13 shed fat, lean out and develop curves in all the right places. She'll also enjoy useful strength and energy. For example, consider the following examples: Abbye “Pudgy” Stockton didn't train like a girl. She trained like a man. She tossed around a heavy barbell – just like a man. (Although she obviously used less weight – but she did the same exercises.) And it paid off – giving her an enviable 34-24-34 measurements at 115 pounds on a 5'2 inch frame. Abbey Stockton, 1931 Or how about Kate “Vulcana” Roberts? Beautiful, slender... and stronger than most men. In fact, legend has it she could press 180 pounds over her head! Believe it or not, it's vitally important for a woman to build strength.
