Hello Francesco,

I have to SERIOUSLY THANK YOU for putting together the most sound informational weight lifting guide I have ever seen published. Until discovering your program, only Bill Pearl could write such an authoritative guide on lifting. Before I praise your systems completely, may I please relate this story to you:

When I first got your musclenow program, I was so excited to read it cover to cover. When I got to the actually exercise outline, my jaw dropped! The thing that really struck me the most with your 5 day program is that it is ALMOST EXACTLY like the one I use to do when I was in high school. I ACCIDENTALLY made a chart of exercises to do, based on all the reading I had done (I was only 14 when I started then) using Mr. Pearl's book of wisdom at the time. My friends and I use to work out everyday after school in the shed behind my parents house, RELIGIOUSLY! We all had excellent results on it then, but the one kid that really made the most improvement and results was the skinniest one of us all. IF he reached the last rep and had it in him he would do at least 2 more reps, when he didn't have it in him, he would do 3-4. His veins would pop out of his head, face red and purple, but man, this guy was intense! After several weeks we had modified the program and kept logs to get the right amount of weight for the right set and reps, including the staggering of reps and sets as you outline in your program. We didn't have the diet thing down pat, or every other aspect of your program, so the improvements were not as quick as yours are now that I am doing the program some 12 years later. But now, there is actually a why and how it works, including diet and rest and every major and minor component to accomplishing a high level of fitness in the most efficient manner! Hail to you sir!!!

Oh, and I have to tell you. Upon getting the program, I went out and purchased a Weider X55 Rack weight system with an excellent bench that accommodates preacher and leg extensions quite well. I threw down some industrial carpet I got for only $22.00 in the garage, and threw some full sized department store dressing room mirrors I got for NOTHING on the wall behind the rack as well. I have an actual AWESOME Gym in my garage now. Also got the heart monitor and made some EXCELLENT charts that I would like to furnish to you if you wish.

If I should ever meet you, (live in NJ), I want to personally shake your hand. I would also like to show you my training diary, I think you will approve. I also have to mention to you and your readers of this testimonial, I made attempts to contact some of the people on your website by locating their name and addresses through dialing 411 to see if they were real people or if you made it up. Your site seems too good to be true to be real. Well guess what, you are a man I could be friends with sir, and not that I wanted to question your integrity, but you here stories of scams on the internet these days all the time. Well, I was able to contact several people from your testimony pages and they all good things to say about your program. It was then I made my purchase with confidence!

Which brings me to one last note, and please include this as well. When others have tried to look in my journal, (which included your program), I let them have a look or two, but only for a minute. Sadly, they want to COPY what they feel is the pertinent information and that it's ok because I already purchased it. Well friend, I look at them and tell them honestly, I cannot. Your program is a pure product of dedication and a true human endeavor to empower other people with tools for getting in shape. You outlaid the time, the materials to get published, you should be rewarded for your efforts. What's sadder yet is when they look at me with a look of, "You're kidding right, let me copy it..." I now realize that we live in the day of Napster and such, and letting people copy your program would be the same as going into a library or Barnes and Noble and simply copying or shoplifting it's just not right!

I offer any advice or answers to anyone who is weary of purchasing this program. I don't work or get a commission from Francesco, but I will tell you in advance, as you can see on his site, he does reward others for promoting it, this is true. You see, he honestly has integrity and understands the principles of money. It works when you use it as the tool it was meant to be used so others can spend it equally. Again, I won't be able to give you details of the program if you are looking for an cheating edge. It's just that his system is so holistic, that any one part of it alone, while beneficial, will not serve you well enough for your investment in time. HIS SYSTEM IS THAT COMPLETE! Complete knowledge, no fallacy! (PS - I'm an engineer, it's why I am so excited about your program as well. I am one of those people who are obsessed about data and yours is sound!)

Ok, I've witnessed enough. Thank you again for the program and thank you if you should post this on your site. I will continue to encourage others to be better through this knowledge. Good work and God Bless you sir!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am resuming working out with the Muscle Now program once again. Things had gotten hectic in the past year with some career changes here as well as a beautiful baby boy born in November, so working out had to go to the bottom of the task list for a while. I just cleaned and reorganized the garage where I have a home gym set up and I have started a 2 week pre-workout routine to get my body and muscles acclimated to lifting weights again. I wanted to add another update to this site to reassure you that I am a REAL person who is using this system and I still swear by it to this day. I will be posting some before and after pictures on my next email, as well as a link to where you can download the workout charts I have designed, the food diary, the cardio fitness level, the weight gain or loss chart and some other miscellaneous files I will be putting on the net so you can keep track of your workouts using the Muscle Now system. I am going to furnish it ONLY to those of you who have ordered the program from Francesco and who he will authenticate as having ordered it so as NOT to give away any of his intellectual property here.

I still maintain the same integrity with keeping this program a secret from prying eyes and inquiring minds and should add that Francesco has done the same with his promise to pay a referral fee for all of those people who have ordered the program from him as well. Because I believe in this system so much, I asked Francesco to send me instead, a copy of Fat Vanish instead, which he did, as I really didn't want his money. He was also kind enough to send an extra copy of Muscle Now as well. And I cannot stress this enough, his program is worth HUNDREDS of dollars more, if you were to go and hire a personal fitness trainer, motivation coach and dietician anywhere else and EVEN MORE when you consider that you WON'T be throwing away money on expensive powder, pills and drinks that JUST DON'T WORK!

I look forward to my next post which will outline my before and after results with pictures next time.
