Editorial Review:
A state-of-the-art weight-lifting and nutritional blueprint for "skinny" guys who want to pack on muscleLet's face it, naturally skinny guys are at a distinct genetic disadvantage when it comes to building muscle mass. But with the proper advice, these "hardgainers" definitely can realize their fitness goals. In Scrawny to Brawny, the authors draw on their years of practical experience as private strength and nutrition coaches to provide hardgainers with:
o A progressive, state-of-the-art program that optimizes results with shorter, less frequent workouts that maximize compound exercises
o A unique, action-based perspective on nutrition that shows how to prepare quick muscle-building meals and snacks-and how to take advantage of several critical times in the day when muscle growth can be stimulated by food intake
o Vital information on how to identify and fix any weak links in their physiques that may be precursors to injuryDesigned not only for frustrated adult hardgainers but also-with its strong anti-steroid message-a terrific book for the large teen market, Scrawny to Brawny fills a significant gap in the weight-lifting arsenal.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - An impressive amount of knowledge
I was just flat out impressed at the scientific approach this book takes. From self measurements to determine what kind of exercises your body would respond best to, to alternative exercises due to injuries or difficulties, this is the most comprehensive exercise book I have read yet.

Rating:  - Didn't work for me too well
I am of the body type targeted by this program, and I did my best to follow it. I felt their argument for why you must eat so much wasn't terribly compelling unless you are under 25, and my initial doubts were confirmed when my body fat skyrocketed from 15% to 20% in the first three weeks! Making adjustments, my body fat rise leveled off but I wasn't gaining any muscle mass at any high rate either. I kept with the full four months and came out a little stronger, but I didn't look very fit (when ... Read More
Rating:  - Very /informative
I thought this book draws a clear passage to gaining healthy weight. It's straight to the point and very readable.
Rating: - Excellent book for anyone who struggles to put on muscle
This book deals more with how to diet in order to gain size rather than dealing with the exercise aspect. It does give some excellent routines, but more importantly it shows just how little you eat, even when you think you eat like a horse. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to put on weight, but struggles to do so.
