Anyone who has tried to bulk up and build muscle quickly knows it is quite a daunting task. But according to Hainesville native Nick Nilsson, a personal trainer, body builder and author of “Muscle Explosion,” gaining muscle quickly can be done relatively easily by following his program.
Not too long ago Nilsson had just 140 pounds on his 5-foot-11 frame. He now carries 215 pounds, transforming his body with hard work and a program he designed himself. Now he’s telling everyone else how to do it.
“Muscle Explosion: 28 Days to Maximum Mass” lays out a four-week eating and exercise plan that will help fitness enthusiasts put on five to 10 or more pounds of muscle in a month.
Taking all he learned from his degree in physical fitness and psychology, Nilsson developed the Muscle Explosion program by conducting dieting and exercise “experiments” on himself and his fitness clients. It’s an approach that led those clients, and other trainers, to nickname him “The Mad Scientist.”
The plan is a combination of nutritional manipulation and extremely targeted training that creates a “slingshot” effect to accelerate muscle building.
Muscle Explosion began when Nilsson challenged himself by doing everything he knew how to do to maximize rapid muscle gain all at the same time. “There’s a scientific basis for all the exercises and training techniques I use.”
In the book, Nilsson backs up his program with extensive explanation, detailed how-to charts that are ready for copying and taking to the gym, tips on eating and supplements, and plenty of encouraging words.
Of course, consult your physician before beginning any exercise or diet program.
