One of my favorite muscle building programs is on sale this weekend. I wanted to share with you guys that Jason Ferruggia is having an Independence Day sale for Muscle Gaining Secrets for the next day and 14 hours (yes, I know I'm Canadian, but who says I can't celebrate this sale for July 1st!?).
My Uncle Rory from Scotland was the only guy on either side of my family who could be considered big. Neither of my parents has ever weighed more than 140 pounds and nobody on either side, except me and my brother, ever even made it past 185. But Uncle Rory was different. He was not only big, but he was massive. He also taught me quite a bit about how to gain muscle fast.
My family and I went to Uncle Rory’s house for a backyard barbecue one summer day, as we had a million times before. When we arrived I went out to the garage gym looking for him and found Uncle Rory in the midst of his workout. He had just done a set of deadlifts and was pumped up to even larger proportions than normal.
“Haallo wee’yan. How ye gittin’ on?”
I was set to enter high school the following month but I was still the “wee’yan” (little one) to Uncle Rory. Come to think of it, anyone was little compared to Uncle Rory.
We sat and talked for five minutes or so and he then excused himself to do another set. He banged out a set with 515 pounds for five reps and again sat down to chat some more. Four or five minutes later, he did another set. At that point he sat down to tell me a story and I assumed his workout was over. Several minutes later, and after his point was made, he did his final set of the day and began stripping the weights.
“Sorry to hold up your workout, Uncle Rory; I thought you were done.”
“Ye did’nae hold up my workoot.”
“Yeah, but I made you rest way longer than you’re supposed to between sets.”
“Then you’re supposed tae? How long are ye supposed tae rest between sets?”
“I don’t know; aren’t you supposed to do a set and then wait a few seconds and then do another? I thought you were supposed to really be breathing hard and sweating. I didn’t see you doing either.”
“That’s rubbish, lad. That’s nae how ye git big and strong. Ye need to take a good long rest between sets so ye can lift heavy weights. It’s the only way to dae it. Ye can’nae lift heavy weights withoot resting properly.”
“Oh. But I read something about how to gain muscle fast, and thought that to get in shape you were supposed to keep your heart rate up and keep moving for 30-60 minutes straight without resting.”
“Aye, but I’m no trying tae get in shape; I’m trying tae get bloody well big and strong.”
And with that, Uncle Rory delivered one of the most important points about how to gain muscle fast that I have ever learned. The weight room is the place where you get big and strong. Like Uncle Rory said; it is not the place where you “get in shape.” You do that through proper diet and cardio work. Don’t try to turn your workouts into marathon conditioning sessions or try to burn more calories with high-rep, low-rest nonsense. All that will do is leave you looking pathetically small and weak. While you may have seen videos of your favorite pro bodybuilders doing set after set during their pre contest preparation while only resting 30-45 seconds, I can tell you that that approach will leave you small and weak… and it won’t take long to happen.
You need to rest long enough to perform high quality sets with heavy weights. That is usually somewhere between one to three minutes depending on the exercise, weight being used, how much training experience you have, what you weigh and a variety of other factors too numerous to discuss here. Heavy weights with adequate rest periods should be the main focus of your workout. If you do that you can still add in some low rest periods and higher rep, pump style training from time to time in order to get the best of both worlds.

This program is awesome for skinny dudes wanting to build big functional muscle. I used to be really skinny...skinny to the point where people thought I was sick! I used to run track and field and road races - 1500m to 10km and my average racing weight was 145lbs. I competed for 9 years and had enough of being WEAK and SKINNY. I decided to retire for the sport and set new goals - to get strong and to LOOK strong.
This program helped me a lot during my early stages of lifting - I had no idea what to do in the gym because my workouts were designed for distance runners...not for putting on size. I'm bigger than I was and a hell of a lot stronger, but I'm far from being satisfied...there is always room for improvement!
| Limited-Time Bonus #1: Renegade Cardio: After the main program gets you huge this one will get you ripped. Most people are going about cardio all wrong and only getting smaller, fatter and weaker because of it. I finally set the record and allow you to steal my closely guarded cardio workouts, usually only reserved for my highest paying clients. Get ready to get shredded! | ![]() |
| Limited-Time Bonus #2: MGS Advanced Mass Building Guide:The main program is going to help you pack on more size than you ever dreamed of. But if at the end of the 16 weeks you’re still raring to go for more and just want to become freaky big and scary; this is the program for you. Be warned, however, that you absolutely must complete the basic program first in order to prepare your body for the extreme challenges it will face with the Advanced Mass workout. | ![]() |
| Limited-Time Bonus #3: Armed & Dangerous:Let’s face it, everybody wants and envies a pair of big, muscular, sleeve stretching arms. A pair of pipe cleaners dangling in a loose t-shirt is a terrible look and one that will get you no respect from the guys or the girls. When you finish the main program, if you still want your arms to get even bigger, this workout you will help you add up to 2 inches of awe inspiring, rock solid muscle to your guns in just 8 short weeks! | ![]() |
