Scrawny to Brawny: The Complete Guide to Building Muscle the Natural Way
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.

In Scrawny to Brawny, the authors draw on their years of practical experience as private strength and nutrition coaches to provide hardgainers with: o A progressive, state-of-the-art program that optimizes results with shorter, less frequent workouts that maximize compound exercises o 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 o 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. .

Power Eating: 3rd. edition
Beyond the fad weight-loss diets, beyond the bodybuilding mythology about excessive amounts of protein for making muscle, beyond the nonsense that circulates about nutrition in the world today, there is a body of scientific knowledge that shows us a road map to our goals. For example, Susan Kleiner shares a formula to determine exactly how much protein the bodies of strength trainers and bodybuilders can use before storing the extra as fat, why amino-acid supplements are a very expensive and somewhat inferior substitute for simple foods such as yogurt and chicken, and why carbohydrates, not protein, are the most important nutrients for muscle building. Many of the recommendations seem so simple--"eat fruits and vegetables," for example--but Power Eating shows us that sometimes the oldest advice in the world is perfectly aligned with modern nutritional science, whereas the complex solutions dreamed up by bodybuilding gurus and supplement manufacturers don't always stand up to rigorous analysis..
