Muscle Gaining Secrets Review (Jason Ferruggia)

A review of Jasson Ferruggia’s Muscle Gaining Secrets.

I’ve had the privilege of evaluating Ferruggia’s bodybuilding program. Before I give you my review, I'll tell you upfront that I make commission on the sale of this program.  But I only promote products I believe in.  Here's the standard I use: if I would recommend it to a friend or family member, I'll recommend it to my readers.  There are a lot of affiliate offers I turn down because they are scams and rip-offs.  Now, on to my review . .  .

About the author:

Jason Ferruggia is a highly sought after, world-renowned strength & conditioning specialist. Over the last 15 years he has personally trained more than 700 athletes from over 90 different NCAA, NFL, NHL and MLB organizations. He has also worked extensively with firefighters, police officers, military personnel, Hollywood stars and entertainers.

Now, let’s take a look of some of the program’s components:

Muscle Gaining Secrets: This ebook is the central component of the program. Ferruggia tells his own story of being a skinny kid (147 lb) even after spending years in the gym. The problem, he explains, was in his training—he was trying to imitate the training methods of professional bodybuilders (splitting his routine into six days a week, etc). He learned these methods just don’t work for genetically average, natural lifters. 

Jason Ferruggia goes on to explain the Seven Critical Factors involved in designing a training program:
*Exercise Selection
*Training Volume
*Number of Reps Used
*Rep Speed
*Rest Intervals
*Training Session Length
*Training Session Frequency

Much of the ebook’s content is focused on explaining these seven factors and how to set up a program for maximum muscle gains. Ferruggia also discusses the different muscle groups and how to best train them (legs, back, etc). As a guy who has learned much through trial and error (20 years of it), I can tell you this program makes a lot of sense. This 147 page ebook is probably the best I’ve read in terms of helping you set up your training and nutrition. He covers all the basic questions a new trainee would have.

The Supplement Report: Ferruggia did an excellent job of exposing the supplement industry from a historical and personal perspective. He explains how the industry has scammed people of their hard-earned money with hype and steroid-using bodybuilders’ endorsements. Like me, he has made the mistake of spending way too much money on supplements. I sort of felt like I was reading my own story—I’ve fallen for some of the same scams (especially the ones that passed through in the 90’s). Ferruggia recommends a few cost-effective supplements (protein, creatine, etc) and encourages the readers to spend their money wisely. This report alone will save a new trainee hundreds of dollars. 

Muscle Gaining Secrets Workout Guide: This is a four phase training manual and journal. It begins with a workout for beginners and progresses to more advanced routines. It is designed to be printed out and used as a training journal. 

Muscle Gaining Secrets Meal Plans: There are nine different meal plans. Each plan is about ten pages’ worth of meals. The plans vary from 2,000 to 6,000 calories. You would simply select the one for your own caloric needs and use it as a guide. 

Composition Tracker Software: A software that helps you track your progress. 

The Exercise Database: This is a very well illustrated guide to how to properly do the exercises. Between the pictures and descriptions you shouldn’t have any trouble learning to lift properly.

10 Minute Muscle Meals: This is a nice addition to the program—quick, convenient, high protein recipes for meals and/or snacks. 

Audio Interview (MP3): Ferruggia talks about his own fitness journey in this 45-minute interview. Once again I could related to this—he’s tried several different training methods through trial and error. He also answers questions about his training program (kind of an audio summary of the MSG ebook). 

I really only found two things I disagree with:

First, Ferruggia doesn’t believe in the efficacy of Yohimbine HCL. I do think Yohimbine can help if the proper dosage and timing is implemented.

The second disagreement involves meal frequency. Ferruggia encourages trainees to eat six meals a day—every three hours. This is a controversial topic, but I’m not 100% convinced meal frequency is all that important. Having said that, I think most trainees will do much better eating at least four times a day. In other words, our advice would end up being similar: I would encourage trainees to try to eat 4-5 times a day but not fret too much over it (as long as you are getting enough protein and calories).

One final thing--Ferruggia recommends a specific brand of supplements.  I'm sure the brand he endorses is good, but be sure to shop around.  I just don't think it makes that much difference as long as you stick to the basics and use reputable brands.   

Conclusion:

Muscle Gaining Secrets is an excellent program and I think it is well worth the money. I really wish something like this had been available when I first started training. I would have wasted a lot less money on supplements and also wasted less time on inferior methods.  I think this would be especially helpful for beginners or "hardgainers" (you can see I mention some other programs below for more advanced trainees).
