Thanks!

Ravi,

So what happened????

I’ll guess you didn’t gain 34lbs of muscle.

Ferriss is a huckster. If he lived in the 1850’s he would have sold snake oil (and made a killing). The experiment he was running (which he claimed was for muscle development) was ACTUALLY an experiment to see how many suckers he could convince that he gained 34 POUNDS of muscle by working out for 4 hours over 4 weeks. I mean it’s absolutely ludicrous on it’s face. (For reference I was a personal trainer at Gold’s gym in San Diego for 3 years during college. The only people who gets gains like this are on the juice AND working out a LOT.) But, that is the “business” he’s in, suckering people into believing the most outrageous claims.

Anyway, I hope you are doing well. And you are a bit more sceptical (wise) now.

Charlie

Hey Anth; I wrote an updated post with the exercises I do. Most are the same, though I will vary a couple.

I take three full rest days between each workout.

So Ravi, do you only do those specific exercises each time? Or do you have two different work out schedules for each day.

Also, for the four day rest thing. Does that mean doing something like working out Monday and Friday, or Monday and Saturday? Either way, do you repeat those two days or keep on adding 4 days of rest? ie Monday, Saturday, Thursday, Tuesday etc.

Thanks!! Keep us updated
