Anabolic Again Review (Brad Pilon)

A Review of Brad Pilon's Anabolic Again Program

As most of you know, I sell and promote training programs here at strongandfit.net.  But most of the muscle building programs I've mentioned are designed for beginner trainees.  I've been wondering when an advanced program would come along--a program designed for those of us who have been training for quite a few years.

Well, it's here: Anabolic Again, by Brad Pilon.  Let me make something clear: this program is for advanced trainees.  Do not buy this program if you are new to training (contact me and I'll recommend something else for you).  

Let's talk about what you get when you order this program:

1. Introductory Video:

This is a good place to start when you order the program.  The video is Pilon's summarized explanation of some of the factors involved in muscle growth.

Pilon also introduces the concept of Anabolic Slow Down.  Here's a simplified explanation: Anabolic Slow Down is a plateau in training progress--a point at which your training is just not producing the same results it once did.

He also introduces his training solution (more on that later).


2. Anabolic Again Main Manual:

This is a more detailed explanation of Pilon's training philosophy.  He mentions some of the programs he has used and how each of them have contributed to the development of Anabolic Again.

Pilon then goes step-by-step through the thought process that lead him to this particular training method.  The science is good, and I found it really fascinating.  He argues, for example, that most of us have "dormant growth" that can still be tapped with proper training.  What makes him say that?  Well, take steroids as an example:   an advanced trainee would still gain new muscle on his/her first steroid cycle--proof that growth potential was still there.  He's not claiming his program will produce the same gains as steroids.  He's just illustrating the concept of "dormant growth"--untapped potential.

3. How Many Calories to Build Muscle:

As the title implies, this ebook is Pilon's explanation as to how many calories it actually takes to build muscle.  What he proposes is actually lower than most would expect.  But I'm inclined to agree with him for a few reasons:

*I gained a lot of muscle in high school and college on pretty crappy diets (think cafeterias and fast food).
*As I've mentioned before, I doubt prisoners have ideal diets--yet some of them are impressive in both size and strength.

Anyway, you could go with higher calories if you are not convinced he is right.

4.  Measuring Muscle Gains: The Anabolic Again Method of Measuring Muscle Growth

This ebook is just a simple way of measuring muscle gains (taking body measurements, calculating one rep max, etc).

5.  Anabolic Again Exercise Index

As the name implies, this manual is simply an explanation of all the exercises you'll be doing in the program.  Each exercise has a detailed description and a link to a demonstration video.  Some of these exercises will require no explanation (squat, for example).  But I did see a few exercises I've never heard of, so the demonstration videos were really helpful.

6.  Anabolic Again Workouts

This, of course, is the most important part of the program.  There are four separate manuals--one for each month.  The workouts are built around what Pilon calls Compound Cluster Cycles.   I wish I could tell you a little more about this, but I'm not sure I can without giving away his "secrets."  But let me tell you this: I've never seen anything quite like it before--ever.  The idea is to train in a way that gives you the best of all things: maximum muscle stimulation and maximum rest.

Conclusion:

Anabolic Again is definitely worth a try if you've been training for several years and have reached a plateau in your muscle growth.  Based on my own training experience (20+ years) I think Pilon knows what he's talking about.   If this review has helped you please use my links for your purchase.  I only promote products I honestly believe in.

By the way, I will be trying this program myself.  I'm anxious to get started, but I'll be taking a week off training later this month (traveling and speaking engagements).  I'd rather wait until I can train without interruption.  You can check back later this month to see how I'm doing on this program.
