"Gained 30 lbs in 12 Weeks"

"I have just completed my first 12 weeks of the lifting program, and I am, so far, pleasantly surprised at the results. I've put on exactly 30 lbs., and my body fat was at a shade over 10% about 1 month ago. My personal goal is to get to 200 lbs., and between 3% and 6% body fat; right now I'm at 175 lbs."

[update] "your advice has been 110% effective. I've put on just under 60 lbs of mass since 4/1/99."
Derrick W., Georgia

"Gained 20 lbs In 3 Months"

"...hi i did great thanks to your routine and diet program. I managed to gain 20 pounds! (it used to be impossible for me to gain a pound) I went from 140 to 160."
Juan A., Texas

"Gained 20 lbs In 3 Months"

"I finished up the first 12-week session of your program a little over a week ago. Not only did I achieve my numerical goal of 200 lbs. (a 20 pound increase from the 180 I started the program at), but I also hit a visual goal, as indicated by the countless compliments I've received.

I can't wait to get back on the program after my 2-week break and hit new peaks, which I am sure are possible through your program."
Brian F., New Jersey

"Increase 'Set Weight' By 4+ lbs"

"I just wanted to let you know that, thanks to you, I FINALLY have a new 'set weight'. For years I used to be at 121 lbs. Working out, I'd be lucky to maintain 130.

With your system, I went from 125 to 138. I got ill, then lazy, and stayed off your plan for about 2 months. But I leveled out at a new 'set weight' of 134 lbs.!!"
Richard E., Canada

"Gained 12 lbs In 5 Months"

"Thanks for putting this whole program together. I've been using it for about 10 months now. I gained about 12 pounds in 5 months (which I thought was awesome) and everyone noticed. Especially my family when I went back home to visit.

They all kept saying "you're huge" (which was embarrassing yet welcome). I was still to skinny but "huge" is a relative term....

But I just wanted to express my thanks for the entire program and the great website and message boards. It is all very helpful and I've learned a lot (and continue to learn). THANKS! "
Paul M., California

"Gained 6 lbs In 3 Weeks"

"I just wanted to thank you for the recommendation and to update you on my progress.

I created an Excel file charting my weight over the course of the 3 weeks since your previous email and will attach it to this email if you want to take a look.

Here are the numbers from it:

11-Sep 157.6
14-Sep 157.8
15-Sep 159
17-Sep 159.6
18-Sep 160.4
21-Sep 160.6
22-Sep 162.4
25-Sep 162.4
28-Sep 161.2
1-Oct 163.4
2-Oct 164

Total Weight Gain: 6.4 pounds
Pounds Gained / Week: 2.13

My body fat has stayed the same the past three weeks. I guess that's a good thing, as it means my weight gain hasn't consisted of fat.

I know it might be silly, but I always made sure to weigh myself at the same time of day, after having eaten the same number of meals, and wearing the same clothing. I didn't want any unnecessary variation in my numbers!

Thanks again for the tip, it really seems to have paid off thus far! I don't know where I'd be without your help and inspiration. "

"Overall, the program is working great for me, +16 lbs. in week 5, best health related purchase I ever made..."
Roger S., Texas

"Gained 16 lbs Since Start"

"I have worked out on my own before I found your program, and even kinda made up my own program for eating and exercise scheduals and stuff.

Your program has done more for me in 2 weeks then mine did in 3 months.. so I have no regrets at all.. every part of my body is bigger and I'm up +16 LBM since the start..."
Jason D., Florida

"Gained 20 lbs"

"Hey man, it's been quite a year for me. Lot's of ups and downs, but I've somehow kept my training up and managed to gain some weight. So far, I've gained 20lbs, mostly muscle. This is a surprise as I've never been over 135 lbs in my life.

To be at 156 is awesome. 156 is great, but I'm not stopping until I get to 170, which should be soon.

I'll let you know when I get there and will be asking for some pointers on the fat loss phase."

All's I have to say about your program and your knowledge about the subject is incredible. I love it. I have almost become addicted to your type of lifestyle and it is awesome.

In my first 3 weeks I have went from 162.5lbs to 171lbs. A lean body mass of 145.28 up to 158.35! Went down to 7.4% from 9.2%! Total gain of 13lbs of muscle mass! I checked the math 3 times to be sure.

Could not believe it! You have done a great job and should be very proud of what you have done for yourself and others!"

"Gained 12 kg in 16 Weeks"

"I feel obliged to send you a testimonial for your program!

Not only for you, but for the others like me that may hesitate to try it. I used your program while I was doing my MS in L.A. and working at the same time! It was a VERY tight schedule and from time to time, I was forced to skip meals. HOWEVER, I did manage to gain more than 10kg (I'm from Europe, Greece, we don't use lbs:)) in 16 weeks. I went from 58kg to 70kg.

I had to buy new clothes since the old ones, did not fit! That's one of the hidden costs of the program :) I never thought it could happen.

I would like to recommend to everyone that can merely spare 1hour a day, 3 days a week, to go ahead and do it! I was forced to stop exercising for 4-5 months after my first gains and did not loose a single gram of weight!

I've now started the program again, using NO supplements this time, and I can still gain about 1kg per week.

To whoever may be reading this: STOP thinking about it and do it! You don't know what you're missing! You'll get permanent gains with a few months of investment! This testimonial is real,

I'm not affiliated with Anthony Ellis or anything! Come to Greece and find out if you want! :)"
Alexandros B., Greece

Mark P., Canada

"Better Than A Personal Trainer!"

"I purchased the electronic version of your manual and started the program about 9 days ago. Let me tell you, I can't believe it's only been a little over a week and I'm already noticing changes! My body feels stronger, I've gained 5 pounds (and NOT in my waist!), I'm never hungry, etc. I'm not new to working out.

I've been weight training for a few years, but I've never trained correctly OR consistently. And...when I DID train hard, I never took in enough protein to allow my muscles to grow. By not eating correctly nor resting enough, I was doing exactly what weight training attempts to do...'break down muscle tissue'.

Your manual is EXACTLY what I needed. I got more from your manual than from any personal trainer. The most valuable part to me is the diet/nutrition information and the excel templates. Just seeing the graphs which tracks my improvement is incentive enough to stay consistent and work hard. Thank you again..."
Emil C., California

"Gained 10 lbs in 3 Weeks"

[update 3 weeks later] "I have completed 7 weeks of the program thus far. I have gained about 10-15 pounds. I feel that I will gain more..."

"Lost 10% Body Fat!"

"Hey Anthony.. I started the mass diet at 19% bodyfat. Well did the fatloss diet and got it down to 9% while retaining 158 pounds of muscle...I just wanted to thank you for this program.

I still have not seen anything as spelled out and as simple as your program. Without you my goal would not be attainable. I found your sight by accident.

I was looking for some supplement or something in the act of desperation and then I found your sight. The thing that got me was seeing your pictures that was the first time I saw a thin man gain mass...You are the man."

"Thank You Anthony!!! 6 Weeks ago I started on your program and these were my stats..
14.7% Body Fat
20.44 Lbs. of Fat
118.56 Lbs. of Muscle

After 6 hard weeks of following your program this is what my stats were today...
11.9% Body Fat
17 Lbs. Fat
132.5 Lbs. of Muscle
150.5 Lbs. Weight

This is only the beginning! For years I've been searching for ways to gain weight and was unable to. I'm not a short guy either I'm 6'3" so you can imagine at 139 Lbs. how scrawny I was, and still are. There's finally a light at the end of the tunnel now, my self confidence is up and I'm charging forward to reach my goal of 185 lbs!

Thanks again for you program!!!! Until now I had no IDEA how important your diet is...I now see it as the most important thing in my training. Just as important if not more than my workout program."

"Gained 24 lbs in 24Weeks"

Here's what I have achieved so far in 24 weeks

Trent T., Australia

"Gained 32 lbs in 4 Months"

"I started your program on Feb 4, 2002 and exactly one month later I have gained over 18 lbs...from being 6'1'' and weighing a skinny 163. Wow, this is the best program that I have ever used. I am so glad that I was able to find your website. But now that I have gained this weight and soon will reach my mass goal of 200-205lbs, I am wondering when I will need to switch to the fat loss program...Damn, this program works!!!!! I now have other people asking me how I did it. IT FEELS GOOD!!!! I have a cruise coming up in September and I am more than on track to looking good by that time. Thanks. "

[update] "Last time I wrote you I was about 181 lbs from starting off at 163. Well, I have continued my weight gaining plan and I now weigh 197 as of last Friday. This means that I have gained about 32 lbs since I started my plan on Feb 4. After only 7 full weeks!!!!!!!! I think that sometimes my mouth drops when I think about it. It's funny because people even ask me if I am "juicing up." I actually take it as a compliment because I don't use drugs and all that weight gain reflects on my hard work ethic. However, my family is well aware of your program and they are now wanting to hit the bandwagon. But instead of being skinny guys they are FAT guys. Can't thank you enough!!!!!"

[update] "By the way I went from 163 on Feb 04 2002 to about 199 on May 05 2002. This was sooooo awesome. I just wish that I could have taken photos like you kept telling everyone to do. Last summer was the first summer I have ever looked “good”. All those other pricks that kept making fun of me before were soon silent. I have leaned up to about 193."

Now I've started again but doing serious body building and living a healthier lifestyle. I'm glad i found your site, I'm also sure i have gained more self esteem."

Richard N., DC

"Gained 10 lbs in 4 Weeks"

"Man I want to thank you for your program. Your program is the most organized and detail program I have ever seen. I have gained 10 to 15 lbs in just 4 weeks. I started benching at 205 and now I bench 225 lbs. I never thought I would be this strong!

I do admit that I had been doing push up and dips before I started your program bur I never thought I would bench so much. I first weight 150 but now I am 165. I can't wait to see how big I will be in two more months of training.

I use to be in the gym all the time in the Navy but I couldn't get any bigger. No one had an organized solution for me but I thank God you did. I think you book should be in every weight training class in the US. There is so much information about the body, hormones, weight training and the way food is broken down in the body.

I just want to thank you for your program. It has been a tool for me to use to get the shape I always wanted."
