How to Gain 70 Pounds of Muscle in 3 Weeks By Steve Shaw
How to Gain 70 Pounds of Muscle in 3 Weeks …or, What I’ve Learned by Reading the Ads in Muscular Development
For a moment, let’s pretend we’re new to the sport of bodybuilding. Better yet, mentally put yourself into the sandals of a 130 pound weakling. You head to the beach, and get sand kicked into your face by the big, muscular, bully.
And you’re ticked off!
You want big muscle, and you want it now. You purchase a gym membership, and start pumping iron for 2 hours a day. Nothing much happens, so you look for answers. But where do you look for answers?
Hmm…how about this huge, thick tome of a bodybuilding magazine called Muscular Development. It’s bigger then all the other bodybuilding magazines, so there’s no doubt that it’s the authority on gaining muscle mass.
You start flipping, and flipping, and flipping pages, looking for answers. But all you find are supplement ads. You become frustrated, and want to give up. Then, you begin to notice something.
Every add makes an amazing claim. If you buy their supplement, you will gain muscle mass, and gain it quickly. So, putting two plus two together, you come up with a life changing idea…if you purchase ALL of the supplements, you will gain 70 pounds of muscle mass in 3 weeks.
And you don’t even have to train that hard.
Woo! Did you hear that Ric Flair? Woo! So that is how the pro bodybuilders get huge! Supplements.
Four hours later, and $800 lighter, you arrive home from GNC with a trunk full of junk. Magical junk. Junk that is BETTER then steroids. What did you purchase? Well, let’s take a peak.
Here is where this article becomes serious. And real. I am holding in my hands the December 2008 issue of Muscular Development. Let’s start flipping pages, and take a look at some random supplements. Then we’ll know what skinny guys everywhere are putting their faith into.
