Editor's Note:  Are you frustrated with your current weight lifting program? Not seeing the gains in muscle you’d like? Christian Finn's, "Build More Muscle," may be the perfect program for you!

For anyone who wants to gain 20 or 30 pounds of muscle in a hurry, the process can often seem painfully and frustratingly slow. Some people gain muscle very quickly. Others, however, make little or no progress at all.

It's easy to make the mistake of jumping from program to program; searching for the perfect combination of exercises that will deliver the results you're looking for. And the next program you come across always seems to be better than the one you're using, right?

Unfortunately, the mass of confusing (and often conflicting) training information means that most people waste all their time searching in vain for the "right" information, but end up getting lost in a sea of half-truths, myths and misconceptions. Then, they either quit, or label themselves as a "hard-gainer."

Muscle Growth
The speed at which you make progress depends on several factors, such as your genetics, age, lifestyle, and eating habits. Muscle growth is rarely a linear process. No matter how hard you train, how strict your diet is, or how many muscle-building supplements you use, growth will never come at a predictable steady pace.

It's also true that not all training programs are equally effective. Some work well. Others are little more than a waste of time. Trying to force growth by doing the same thing over and over again (only harder) will lead to frustration and disappointment.

Most people fail to achieve the level of muscular development they're really capable of. It's not because they don't try hard enough. Rather, they've never really been told the right way to train. Don't be duped into thinking you're a "hard gainer" just because the program you're following isn't working.

The Build More Muscle (BMM) program is based on the basic principles behind weight gain and muscle growth, many of which have been used successfully by top bodybuilders since the 1950's. The answers are out there, but they're all over the place. What I've done for you is to distill the relevant information on how to gain muscle into a practical step-by-step plan that will help you avoid a lot of wasted time and effort.

When you start training your body properly, you'll find it...
