MAX Muscle Plan

Widely regarded as one of America’s leading strength and fitness professionals, Brad Schoenfeld has won numerous natural bodybuilding titles and has been published or featured in virtually every major fitness magazine. Now the 2011 NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year and best-selling author brings his expertise to a resource that has everything needed to complete a total body transformation in just six months.

The MAX Muscle Plan is packed with over 100 exercises and more than 200 photos that demonstrate the exercises and revolutionary, ready-to-use muscle building program. The book revolves around MAX — Mitogen Activated Xtreme training — mitogens being the chemical substances that encourage cells to remodel, a process essential to muscle growth. The scientifically proven program enhances mitogenic and other growth-oriented training responses to promote optimal muscle development and eliminate training plateaus.

The MAX Muscle Plan provides accessible, scientific explanations for everything readers are asked to complete. The book features a three-phase, six-month program for the entire body, helping readers increase their lean body mass, build muscle, and dramatically transform their bodies. Every exercise, every set, every repetition is mapped out for ease of implementation. The program is complemented by cardio guidelines and nutritional recommendations based on the latest scientific research.

Results from The MAX Muscle Plan speak for themselves. It is the blueprint for achieving — and maintaining — a total body transformation.
