This book is essentially about bodybuilding, which is a particular form of weight training. Bodybuilders concentrate on building big muscles to look good and often for competition purposes. Serious bodybuilders don’t leave much to chance. They concentrate on reaching very low body fat levels — under 6% for men and under 10% for women, some even lower. All major muscle groups and many smaller individual muscles get the bodybuilding treatment.
Nick Nilsson, an experienced bodybuilder, has developed a training program that includes nutritional and training approaches. The book aims to help you build muscle quickly.
The Muscle Explosion Program
The first section of the book explains what the Muscle Explosion Program is and why it works. Nilsson calls it “metabolic acceleration” and “tissue remodeling.” The nutritional basis is a carbohydrate-restricted diet for a few days followed by a rapid replacement of carbohydrates, much like endurance runners and marathoners used to do. The premise is that the body learns to overcompensate with glycogen and the insulin rush you get with this replacement creates an anabolic (muscle building) environment. Add the appropriate exercises and you can maximize your muscle gains.
