In the Muscle Gaining Secrets book Jason Ferruggia starts out to tell a story on how he never really knew how to work out. It may be hard to believe when it comes from a person like Jason. He is in fact one of the most renowned strength and conditioning muscle building coach. He is a strong guy with a powerful physique and has been featured in many top fitness magazines.

Yet, in the first few chapters, he explains to you that he never really did “work out”!

How Can You Get Big If You Don’t Work Out?

Jason explains this misunderstanding of most people trying to gain muscle and following ‘workout” sets and reps in the magazines doesn’t really do much in their quest to gain muscle. Rather than working out, Jason focused on “training”. There are a very simple yet sophisticated formula came up by Jason that he really wants you to understand in order to be successful following his program.

Jason will make you have a greater purpose rather than just an obligation to go to the gym every day, hoping to get better day by day by spending more and more time in the gym and figuring out what workout is the best, it simply won’t help you get bigger or stronger.

To Jason, “training” is more like “war”. It is the fight between yourself and your previous performance. You will fight this battle each time you are lifting and pumping iron. No more counting reps and sets here, you will be amazed how you have become a fighter instead of a follower (following the normal workout routine).

If you want to get bigger and stronger, you simply need to be better than your previous performance. That is how progress is done, and what Jason teaches you. You don’t go “working out” when you have discovered Muscle Gaining Secrets. You will train your butt off.

The Muscle Gaining Secrets program is outright “hardcore” training to gain muscle. Knowing this, I’m not surprised to discover that Jason started in the world of fitness from a hardcore bodybuilding gym in New Jersey. Hardcore gyms are not the same as your friendly neighborhood Ballys to start with.

Never expect to see lots of pretty machines cushioned with new sponges in hardcore gyms, because it isn’t the place for you to have fun or to enjoy your free time. You will find iron, big old heavy rusty beaten up iron that will turn you into a strong stud.

You are not going to hear any Bruno Mars song playing slowly in the gym, but you will hear Korn playing loud. And you won’t have time to do small pep talk either. You either talk strength and power, or you better shut up. You will be challenged to death.

Don’t even dare to go in a hardcore gym to ask for a peck-dec machine unless you want your arse kicked.

These monsters are not the same as normal fitness seeking guys. You would be silly if you try to sell them any kind of infomercial abdominal gadgets. These hardcore trainers are well focused to their only GOAL;

To Get Bigger & Stronger.

The Muscle Gaining Secrets training isn’t to be a pretty boy, this training will trun you into a BAD ASS. This is the exact focus Jason stress throughout the Muscle Gaining Secrets to make you get stronger faster.

Muscle Gaining Secrets Training

Starting up with the introduction to his “7 Factors” which determines whether your muscle building training is at its optimum level for serious muscle gains or not. Briefly Jason explains to you every factors. In one of his quotes, he says”

“Any exercise that makes you look like a fruitcake is instantly disqualified as a useful exercise.” - Jason Ferrugia

I couldn’t agree more with this line, and yet it is funny. This shows you how serious the Muscle Gaining Secrets Training really is…

When it comes to train for size, Jason has his best formula..and in the training section, he starts to explain to you each and every body part on how it functions and which kind of exercise will make you big, and which doesn’t. Part’s that normally neglected in other programs such as neck and forearms are covered in depth. Other programs would assume that these muscle parts would grow as they are not directly trained with other bigger muscle groups. These exercises are definitely important, but there are certain times to work these muscles. You might not find Jason asking a beginner to do intensive neck training twice a week, but Jason covered every important aspect of this in the Muscle Gaining Secrets Book.

Jason is very skilled at teaching about body parts, he explains in detail the most effective exercise for strength and size gains for each muscle group. Not all exercise are necessary, in fact, if you can stick to a handful of exercises, you are on your way to serious muscle gains. These are not your normal run of the mill text book scientific equation about muscles, but these are very important and real world tips that only hardcore warriors can experience.

It doesn’t matter what your level of experience is, you will definitely get something very useful from Jason. I know I did!

In the Muscle Gaining Secrets training section, Jason prepares for you 3 short training sessions a week. This is part of the training method to be less than 45 minutes, recommended only 30 minutes tops. Jason wants it to be intense and gruelling training session of your week. There are specific training journals for the beginners, intermediate and advanced trainers, but the important part is, Jason shows you where and when you need to be to make this happen.

The climax of the MGS training is the Advance Training regime. It is shown in Jason’s Maximum Mass in Minimum Time Workout Guide.

All in all, it is just an awesome training program for effective muscle mass gains. Suits well for beginners up to the advanced lifters.

Muscle Gaining Secrets Cardio

You won’t be doing any traditional long duration steady state cardio sessions anymore, because you will be focused on a more efficient high intensity interval training methods. You will trigger growth hormones when you apply this kind of cardio training, and it will help you burn fat and gain muscle at the same time. Good to keep you in shape.

The cardio system in Muscle Gaining Secrets is not the same ol cardio training you would fine in the magazines. The training is short but definitely will take the best out of you. Behind the system, Jason convinces and proves that it is one of the most powerful element in your transformation process. When you can adapt to it, your fitness, power, and strength will surely grow together.

Other than normal cardio, Jason gives some very different yet effective variations to entice your cardio by using sand bags and also sledge hammer..truly out of the box way of thinking!

Muscle Gaining Secrets Nutrition

Muscle Gaining Secrets is not complete without its diet and nutrition section. Jason stress that nutrition is more important than you thought. He explains the fact that if you are not going to make any gains if you are not getting caloric surplus. This is one of the best and easy explanation on dieting I have read when it comes to making massive lean muscle gains.

You will be given the right rations of macro-nutrients. You won’t be left in the dark without any real life examples, Jason will show you the best sources for carb, protein, fats and also the three macro-nutrients for your muscle gain diet. Not to forget the pre workout and post workout nutrition guide that will help you spike your gains tremendously.

You might have expected these information to be in the program like other type of muscle gain programs. But Jason’s program truly separates him and other programs apart by coming with a different approach on various body types. You won’t be confused while reading his explanation, because it will be simple and quick so that you can make your decision right away when you finished reading the chapter.

The way Jason teach in the program by story telling and giving real life examples is a great way to understand what his message is and what diet methods that he recommends. His program is designed to help you gain muscle mass, at the same time, limit the amount of fat you put on.

By the end of every chapter, Jason will recap what he explains in a very easy way to memorize. It will stick in your head even if you read it once. This explains how easy it is to understand Muscle Gaining Secrets and how it resonates with what you are already doing.

Added to that, Jason includes some very popular question and answer section after each topic. The questions and answer are very helpful and are not just some silly questions. It will help you understand important things in a different approach.

The question and answer section is a very important part of the book as it gives you more clear knowledge about the matter. He will provide you with tricky questions and follow up the answers with good reason and explanation. These are really golden nuggets that are hard to find. For example, in the nutritions question and answers, you get to learn from bulking tips while monitoring your cholesterol numbers up to vegetarian mass building and also the alcoholic beverage that accumulates the less fat.

Muscle Gaining Secrets Supplements

As on of he most accomplished muscle building coach, Jason may not be a big fan of the body building supplements. Having spent thousands of dollars before he found the right way of building muscle mass, he discovered how unhelpful the majority of the bodybuilding supplements to help you gain muscle fast. There are actually a better way to invest your money to gain weight. Unless you are too lazy or just straight up a “rich boy” who can whip up expensive supplements easily. Jason helps his reader not to make the same mistake he does.

Helping you understand how the bodybuilding supplements work, you will see how much money you can save up rather than buying bogus supplements. He is very serious to let you get the right information by telling you the history of the supplement industries. It is very intriguing to read how Jason reveals all the bull-shits that made people spend thousands of dollars on these magic pills.

Most of the supplements you can find in stores are very overpriced , in the Muscle Gaining Secrets supplement section, Jason does show you some few supplements that would help in your quest to gaining lean muscle mass. These are definitely one of the most important chapters in the book.

Added Bonus With Muscle Gaining Secrets

The first bonus that you will receive right of the bat is the Maximum Mass in Minimum Muscle Time workout program which is prepared for the above intermediate to advanced level trainer. If you are just starting out, the training is covered in the Muscle Gaining Secrets eBook in advance. This training is very powerful, you won’t need another program while you are following this.

This is really PRICELESS!

MGS Shortcomings?

After reading the whole book, I can say that Jason is very good at explaining difficult bodybuilding terms and make it easy for readers to understand. You will not feel overwhelm by the information you will receive. All in all, I can say there are not much I can complain about.

Although I do feel that the members area should have a lot more interaction and discussion, probably an event once in a while or a competition between members to heat it up. It should add up from time to time..surely.

Bottom Line..

Get ready, the training that you will be put you through will force you to grow into a bigger and stronger you. These training are proven by Jason’s extensive experience not just on himself, but on his clients and previous Muscle Gaining Secrets members.

Jason did in fact went from 147lbs to 231lbs at 6 foot tall, with so much intelligence and knowledge, Jason had helped many professional athletes get stronger and bigger and outright ripped.

To tell you the truth, Muscle Gaining Secrets is not actually a typical bodybuilding way to gain muscle, it sure is not a fitness way..instead, MGS is a BAD ASS approach that will pump you up, and force you to become stronger day by day and focus on building size and a powerful warrior physique.

Many might be sceptic about the book having the title as “Muscle Gaining Secrets” since there are not much of a secret in the muscle building world, Jason did manage to deliver the right value and stand up to it’s title by giving a lot of strong tips and clever tricks that you won’t find elsewhere. These kind of advice resides in the hardcore gyms where your body is forced to grow, whether you like it or not.

To conclude, the Muscle Gaining Secrets muscle building program shows how simple it is to gain muscle by educating you with the right information and most successful diet plan especially for hardgainers who seeks for a huge transformation.
