Dear Friend,
Thank you for purchasing The Secrets to Gaining Muscle Mass — Fast! You will be pleased to know that the
new edition has been updated with the most current “cutting edge” training and diet techniques.
You will notice that my manual is probably unlike any book you’ve ever ordered. I decided to use a 3-ring binder
because I wanted you to be able to customize it to suit your individual goals. You can arrange the pages in whatever
order that works best for you. You can also remove unwanted pages and create your own chapters. I have included
a portable folder so you can carry your diet and training pages with you to the gym and the throughout day. In the
margin of most pages, you will notice an area to jot down your notes. This is very important. If you stay focused
and write down your thoughts and questions as they pop into your head, you will be able to construct your training
plan much faster.
Before you attempt to begin any program, please make sure that you read and understand the entire manual and all
of it's concepts. If you attempt to start the program without fully understanding what you are doing, you will only
be hampering your results. Also, make sure that you read the manual faq pages in the manual and on my website.
This will answer about 99% of all questions you will have.
My personal e-mail address is member@musclegaintips.com . If your question is not answered in the manual or on
the faq pages, please email me. Be sure to include your order number in the subject line. I always try to answer all
questions within a few hours (usually sooner).
By ordering this manual you have already taken a huge step towards your goal – it is important that you don’t put
this aside for later and lose your momentum. Stay focused. You know what you want, just go and get it.
Let’s get to work,
Anthony Ellis

WHY I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS MANUAL
After more than a year of skirting the issue, I finally gave in. For all the skinny guys out there, this
had to be done! We had yet to be recognized. Day after day, week after week, I am constantly
bombarded with the issues of overweight Americans. They have low fat foods created for them, they
have entire magazines dedicated to helping them lose fat. They even have companies established to
help them lose weight and get fit. On the internet, 95% of all fitness related sites are geared towards
losing fat. But what about us? What about the guys who can't GAIN weight? I believe that our
problem is just as important and as difficult to solve, people don’t believe that underweight or thin
people can be unhappy with their bodies as well.
“Everyone wants to be thin.” “You are so lucky,” they all say. Well, how come I don’t feel lucky?
In my mind, being thin is as difficult to live with as being overweight. But, it just doesn’t sell.
America wants to be thin, so if you already are, they think, you don’t have a problem.
This manual is not intended to be an all encompassing information source for bodybuilding. If you
want something like that you should get Arnold Schwarzenegger's book, The New Encyclopedia of
Modern Bodybuilding .
This book is a compilation of techniques, exercises and tips that have worked for me in my quest to
get to 180 lbs. I do not claim to know everything, but I do know how skinny guys can gain more
muscle.
One point to always keep in mind is that your diet, workout program and nutritional supplements all
work in synergy. They are good alone, but together they will propel you to your goal very quickly.
This is where most people fail. They never have all three in place for any extended period of time. I
did it for 12 weeks, and look what I accomplished.
A Word on Consistency
O.K., so you want the secret to gaining muscle mass fast? Well, here it is: CONSISTENCY . You
can have the best diet, the best training schedule, join the best gym that has the best equipment, but
without consistency it’s all worthless.
Over the past two years, I’ve talked to hundreds of people who have successfully transformed their
physique. Though most of them trained in totally different ways, there was one common
denominator that appeared throughout each success story: Day in and day out, they followed
their pre-determined plan, consistently, without fail . There are many paths to your goal, but
you will never reach it unless you consistently put one foot in front of the other. You must find the
determination and drive within yourself to see this through. If not now, then when?
You will not be on this program for the rest of your life — only a few months! So, try to look at it as
a short-term challenge. In the grand scheme of your life, can you afford a slight inconvenience to
create a fantastic physique — or will you continue to be an "average Joe" for 80 more years? Which
sounds more inconvenient to you? It is time for you to make a stand, and I will show you how. This
manual is my helping hand to all skinny hardgainers out there who are unhappy with their bodies.
Now, you have a choice.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED
In addition to the supplements and food required (explained in Section B) during your training
program, you also will need to buy the following:
Additional Expenses
Item
Description
Skin Caliper:
$20-$100
Used to measure your body fat. Don't bother getting one that's too expensive
— they all have some margin of error. You just need it for a consistent
record. If you can't locate one, you can get a good one here
Tape Measure:
$1
Use for measuring girth of body parts.
Use to mix your protein shakes at home.
Blender:
$30
Used to measure food weights. This is absolutely essential in determining
how much you are eating. I use the Health O Meter version. You can contact
them at 1-800-638-3722.
Food Scale/measuring cup:
$15
Food Storage Containers:
$25
I use the Rubbermaid brand. You will need about 9-12 of their #3 size
"servin' save" containers to store your meals. You will also need 4 of their
small 1/2 cup containers to store your vitamin stacks.
You will need a 32oz. plastic shaker bottle to mix your protein shakes when
away from home.
Shaker Bottle:
$3
Get the small portable kind. This is used to carry your meals when you are
away from home for any extended period of time.
Cooler:
$20
Weight Training Belt:
$35
You will need this when you work up to lifting very heavy weights in the
squat and deadlift exercise. This is the only time you will need to wear this
belt. If you wear it too much it will prevent the natural development of your
lower back and torso stabilizer muscles. I like the soft kind because they
conform to your body much better than the leather.
You don't have to wear the latest styles in gym wear to workout, but you do
need something comfortable and loose fitting. No jeans, no open toe shoes,
no tight belts and no lycra (please!).
Loose fitting clothes
and sneakers:
$100
Lifting Straps:
$10
These are nylon or cloth straps that are used to increase your grip strength
when lifting heavy weights. They allow you to fully exhaust the muscle you
are working, without having to stop because your grip was not strong enough.
Used primarily for shrugs, pull-ups, deadlifts and barbell rows.
Lifting Gloves:
$15-$20
These are supposed to protect your hands from becoming calloused. I
personally don't use them because they make my hands too sweaty, so these
are an optional accessory.
