Consequence and Clarity

I’m a lot less naive than I was a year ago. I’m still naive enough to believe that I can explain something very few people might be able to understand. I’m writing and rewriting this article over and over again. Countless forms of the same damn thing. In the end it always ends up being […]

Client Update

A pretentious introduction will not set the tone for 2012, so to hell with that, Happy New Year and cheers to all. I’ll kick off 2012 with another client update, talk some shit, and we’ll see where it ends up. I accidentally deleted half the post without saving, including a bunch of interesting and not-so-interesting […]

The Official Leangains Facebook Page

Ok, so since I’ve pretty much reached the 5000 friends limit on my Facebook profile, I’ve made a Leangains Facebook page. The activity on my regular profile has been pretty intense, with lots of discussions, success stories, meal photos, recipes, interesting links and new research, etc, and I’m hoping that will continue on the fan […]

The Definition of Lean Gains Part Two

Time for another Leangains success story. Success stories are emailed to me from people all across the globe and everyone has been using the simple but effective intermittent fasting guidelines I’ve outlined in “The Leangains Guide.”  This success story is from Spencer. Just like Tanner’s success story, it is an excellent example of muscle gain […]

Intermittent Fasting For Weight Loss Preserves Muscle Mass?

Does intermittent fasting preserve muscle mass during weight loss? A new study claims it does. This is quite exciting, so I’m interrupting my planned schedule to give you the low down on these findings. I just got access to this paper and I’ll be writing this post as I read through it. The study: “Intermittent […]

Leangains Summer Motivation

I have an article coming soon and I can almost guarantee that you will get to learn about something completely new and fascinating. A topic I haven’t seen covered anywhere else outside the deepest pits of PubMed. At least I don’t think so. Not from this perspective. But if I’m wrong I’m gonna have to go […]

Client Update

I can’t think of a better way to kick off 2011 than with another client update. Perhaps these transformations will provide some inspiration for you in this new year. As usual, every client used the Leangains intermittent fasting approach, which you can read more about here: “The Leangains Guide.” Without exception, every client either gained […]

Leangains Helped Me Earn My IFBB Pro Card

Time for another success story. This one is from Danielle Reutter who used the Leangains approach to get in amazing shape. Actually, “amazing” is a huge understatement, as she won her class in the 2010 NPC Nationals (Figure) and earned an IFBB Pro Card. This makes Danielle the first American “professional” Figure competitor who uses […]

Leangains vs The 40-Year Old Crisis

I know I promised a new training article two weeks ago but my schedule has been a bit crazy lately. It’s coming, but as it’s been a while since my last post, I thought I’d drop this success story real quick. It’s good that I have a whole bunch of these stacked away for times […]

The Definition of Lean Gains

It’s time for another success story. I’m sitting on tons of these. People are getting amazing results following the Leangains guide and I’m stoked to see success stories dropping in by the dozen. This one is pretty damn impressive. I was quite pleased with my results after an intermittent fasting style “bulk” back in 2006. […]
