If you're not familiar with my friend Elliott Hulse and his latest 

training experiments I went ahead and wrote up a review for

you about his latest release called, The Grow Stronger Method.

 

 

Review of the Grow Stronger Method:

"The Simple System for Growing Super Strong"
By Mike Westerdal of CriticalBench.com

In 2007 he discovered strongman training and loved it. For a couple of years
he was at the top his game and moved closer and closer to his goal of becoming
a national champion.

A torn bicep sidetracked his dreams and caused to him abandon strongman
training for the next two years. The injury also forced him to rethink his approach
to training, motivating him to give up no-holds barred lifting in favor of a more
structured approach. His previous super heavy training style meant lots of soreness,
left him susceptible to injuries and required extensive recovery time.

The new approach towards training he embraced was based on ten 'Grow Stronger'
conditions. In training in accordance to these ten principles, Elliott's goal was to avoid
the pitfalls of his previous all-out heavy training style. Some of these principles include
grow stronger: without gaining too much puffy muscle or bulk; without creating achy
joints or chronic pain; without training more than 45 minutes a day, four days a week;
without sacrificing mobility and flexibility, all while becoming the strongest version
of himself.

The Grow Stronger Method chronicles Elliott's 'balanced training' approach, which
he refers to as 'Strengthology.' The 48-page book outlines everything you need to
know to learn about and start growing stronger using Elliott's proven approach. I
like Elliott's easy-going, straightforward writing style. He provides enough information
so you know what you need to know, but aren't overwhelmed with lots of scientific
information or useless filler.

The first few chapters provide an excellent overview of Elliott's views towards
bodybuilding and training. You don't need to get more than a few paragraphs into it
before realizing that not only does Elliott know what he's talking about, but his approach
is solid and sane. You won't find any promises of instant gains here. The background
information he provides is great because it really helps you develop an understanding of
the underlying principles of the Grow Stronger Method.

Beginning with the chapter "Yearly Training Cycle" Elliott starts getting into the heart of
his training approach and what you need to do to implement it yourself. It's interesting to
note that in contrast to most authors, Elliott starts by giving the reader the 'picture first'
and then works his way down to the details of the individual workouts. He says that he
does this because it facilitates goal setting and encourages you to stick with the program
for the long haul.

Personally, I think this is a great concept because in my opinion, the biggest reason that
most programs fail to work as promised is because the user doesn't stick with it. He
starts off all excited and dives right in,, but then a few weeks later he's lost his enthusiasm
and is floundering. I also like the fact that right from the start, Elliott asks you to make
a one-year commitment to the program. Stick with Grow Strong for a year and I have
no doubt that you'll be amazed by the results you see.

Next, the book moves into the monthly training cycle and then finally, the weekly training
cycle. The exercises are a combination of weightlifting and gymnastic progression
movements. Descriptions of some of the basic weightlifting and gymnastics movements
are included along with links to streaming videos so you can learn the proper form for
each exercise. To help avoid plateaus and keep you moving progressively forward, the
routines are continually shifting.

Every month you begin a new "phase" of training by switching the main exercises. Every
week you stimulate new strength by changing the reps, sets and weights being used. In
the chapter where Elliott discusses your daily routine, he emphasizes the importance
of maintaining a training journal.

Though you might be tempted to skip the journal, do yourself a favor and don't. Whether
it's building the body you want or achieving any other lofty goals in life, writing down your
goals and charting your progress along the way is the pathway to success.

If you've been searching for a real-world strength-building program that isn't full of quick
fixes that don't work anyway, then you definitely ought to be looking at the Grow Stronger
Method. Elliott's approach is built on practicality, sound science and experience.


I'm happy to recommend Elliott's program <<<<< Last Chance to Get On Sale
