Do you want to get ripped like a prison inmate?

A bodybuilding legend launches a routine, swears it inspired his record-setting IFBB run and promises a stage-ready aesthetic physique (if you don’t call it quits before 16 weeks are over).
Sounds tempting, eh?
Well, these programs are almost always letdowns.
Their “hacks” are dumping $300 into weekly groceries, training for 90 minutes a day, hitting the genetic lottery, and — of course — decades’ worth of vein-popping muscles owed to PEDs.
Mike Robertson’s Built By Science 6-Week Muscle-Building Trainer is almost the polar opposite. Short. Realistic. Science-based. Tons of potential.

Quick Review:
This 29-week program can completely transform your physique, offers modifications for all skill levels, and puts a more exciting spin on traditional training. However, the platform’s layout is a little difficult to navigate, there’s timed locked content, and the lack of nutritional data could cause confusion. Overall, if you’re burned out by regular weightlifting and want to build a Greek God physique the old-fashioned way, Cali Move’s Body Transformation Basics program is a solid choice.
| Experience Level | Beginner |
| Program Length | 29 Weeks |
| Workouts/Week | 2-4 |
| Training Style | Bodyweight/Calisthenics |
Pros:
Cons:
Historians trace the art of calisthenics — or bodyweight exercises — back to ancient Greek gladiators preparing for the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 B.C.
Now more than 2,500 years later, calisthenic training is still one of the best ways to improve all-around strength and sculpt what many coin the “Greek God physique.”
Cali Move’s Body Transformation Basics is a 29-week beginner program featuring calisthenics progressions to increase strength, muscle size, and total-body stability.

Quick Review:
Sean Nal’s Body Transformation Blueprint is one of the best bodybuilding guides that we’ve seen thus far. Wedged into its 1,000+ pages are a well-laid-out workout guide (beginner through advanced), cookbook and meal plan, and detailed supplement know-how. The ebooks are a little bloated and the lack of scientific-backing despite Nal’s research obsession is concerning, but the program is well worth the investment.

| Workout Days | 3-5 |

Pros:
Cons:
“Body Transformation Blueprint” has a nice ring to it, and not only because it sounds like a long-awaited Matrix or Inception reboot.
But rather, it targets what 49.3% of us crave — weight loss — and what nearly 60% of us completely and utterly neglect — resistance training (or gains).
Sean Nal’s Body Transformation Blueprint is an all-natural bodybuilding program infusing complete diet, exercise, and supplements overhauls.
The body recomposition “trifecta,” if you will.
But is this 1,000+ page, six-part plan as legit as its badass coined name? Or does it merely fall into the stigma Sean Nal so desperately tried to avoid (gimmicks and fads)?
Let’s uncover what this massive ebook beholds and whether it’s legit.

The online fitness community is like a clouded wasteland, flooded with dozens of hidden traps targeting unsuspecting explorers (questionable “magic cures” that lure gains-chasers astray).
Boom … “Perform these five exercises, and gain 20 pounds of pure muscle mass in 90 days!”
Thwack … “Want the secret to cannonball delts and 15” pythons? This rep range is the answer!”

The blind trust you place in those bodybuilding forums — and even some big-name health junkies schilling sponsored products — leaves you 90 days older with almost 0% progress.

The boss babes are circling overhead, waiting for the perfect moment to drop that dreaded “hey girl 👋” message and rope you into buying their poop — sorry — skinny weight-loss teas.
But it doesn’t stop there. Social media is flooded with detox shakes, juice cleanses, CICO, Tabata training, essential oils, and Shake Weights (how on earth did nobody realize?).
There’s always a “next big thing” for women struggling to slim down or tone up.
But is V Shred’s Fat Loss Extreme for Her the real secret to losing 20, 30, or even 50+ pounds? (V Shred founder Vince Sant sure as hell thinks so.)

There are two muscle groups that can be described as being “3D”: the legs and the shoulders. The latter of which just looks awesome in a T-Shirt that might be a little too small, but hey, nobody is complaining.
But because the shoulders are so intricate, training them can be tricky. Abel Albonetti over at Bodybuilding.com says he’s got the science narrowed down in his 30-Day Shoulders Program.
