Natural Bodybuilding Testimonials

Just thought I would let you know that the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program is fantastic.

At 32 years old, I have been training quite seriously for over ten years and thought I had pretty much reached the end of my development at 94 kgs and quite lean. After two months on your program I have cracked the magic 100kg mark, which was a goal of mine, and still quite lean.

I felt like I have wasted many years training by not having this program. I have never been stronger or so enthusiastic about my workouts (the week 5 sessions are bloody tough though!)

This is the only way to train. All other methods just don’t make sense to me anymore.

Well done and best wishes.​

Francesco,

I have been working out with MuscleNOW now for about 40 days and have gained about 17-18 pounds since. And the best part is that I did not gain any substantial amount of fat in the areas that I was afraid I would gain (legs, butt)!

Thank you very much for all your help and again, this program has already brought me extraordinary results! Just by observing how many girls notice me is astounding proof to the effectiveness of the MuscleNOW program!​

Thank you again for everything you done for us natural lifters. I used to read all the bodybuilding magazine back in the 90s and I did a Google search the other day for all the bodybuilders that used to be in all the pictures and have read that some have died and a lot have kidney problems and wont live past their 60s and THEY ALL ARE SKINNY NOW. Thank you for showing us the natural way!!!

When I sent in my payment for your system I also sent a letter saying this was my last hope before I was going to try steroids. Needless to say I loved the program even though I never implemented any of what you told me except the diet. I would calculate all the food out in bags but I never would eat it. Well time went on and I put the MuscleNOW program in the top shelf of my closet and continued to use supplements. I went through a lot in my life drinking heavily on weekends with my so called friends, and my workouts were really bad due to my body recovering from the drinking all week long. Then 4 years ago I met a lady who changed my life around, and we had a daughter. I was still working out off and on, weighing in at 135 at age 24, pretty bad, still choking down weight gainers and not gaining a pound.

Having kids, I could no longer afford supplements and I hated choking down pills and powders. I promised I was no longer going to take them any more and that's when I found your MuscleNOW program in my mom's house right were I left it. I read it over again and promised I would follow it no matter what. Well I did except for the diet, as I kind of eat all the time but made sure I had a lot of protein and carbs and eat a lot of fruit before and after my work outs. But I stuck to the work out routines and cycle and O MY GOSH!! I loved it I was working out with less intensity and my body blew up!! Week after week I was getting bigger my strength was going though the roof and my shirts were getting tight around my arms, chest and back. I gained 15 solid pounds in one six week cycle!!!

I'm now going on my next cycle but I'm going to follow the system to a "T" diet and everything. Francesco, I thank you very much. You have saved my life from using dangerous drugs or giving up on a nice body. I went from 135 to today 155 but every one can't believe I only weigh 155 with all the muscle I have. I'll use your system for the rest of my life and I read it just for motivation some times. Like I said, I will be starting my second cycle and expect huge gains since I will be using the diet as well as the routines.​

Francesco,

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how I'm doing. I started your system two weeks ago and I can't believe what is happening. My strength gains are incredible. I've gained a half inch on my biceps, an inch and a half on my chest and lost an inch on my waist!

As you know I'm a police officer. Just after Christmas, I was attacked by two people when I responded to a bar to take an assault report. The "victim" and his brother took their frustration out on me and after being punched and kicked by them, they tried to take away my gun. Due to my training (and my partner's good timing) I didn't get hurt and the bad guys went to jail. I got lucky.

After that, I couldn't help thinking how different it could have been. Increased strength has been a futile goal of mine for ten years, but after the bar incident it became my mission. Granted, there is always someone out there who is bigger, stronger, etc.. but I want every advantage I can get. You have made that goal possible.

As a department Defensive Tactics trainer I will recommend your program to all of my trainees. After all, officer survival isn't just about winning the fight, it's about staying alive, going home to your family every day and living longer, healthier.

Thanks.​

Francesco,

Hey! I haven't sent you an e-mail in years! Yet, I have stayed on the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program since I started. To sum everything up, I have seen that it definitely works extremely well. I have received many compliments, and people think I work out a lot!

There is no doubt that I could accomplish any type of body I want with your MuscleNOW program, as it has allowed me to have very good muscle development, and I am proud of my body. All in all I am truly satisfied, and plan to continue the program for a long, long time.

I was never really skeptical of your program, but it seemed like most people I knew were. They keep quiet now, because they can see that MuscleNOW works.​

Francesco,

First, let me give you many thanks and props for your assistance through the program and email mediums. I've had great results, most, if not all, of which is due to your expertise. I used the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program for about six weeks last year before I went through a move and lost steam. In that short time, I got the nickname ‘steroid boy' due to the speed of growth. That was reward enough in itself! Thank you very much.​

MuscleNOW is the fastest muscle producing system that I have ever seen, and believe me I have seen a lot. Based on pure logic, this system managed to get me on the road that I’ve been trying to get on for the past two years. It stresses the critical factor in eating right. Most people underestimate this factor but then again most people don’t make consecutive gains in muscle mass, do they? Also, cycling is the most important principle in bodybuilding yet most people seem to ignore it, again this is what Francesco Castano, writer of this amazing program generously offers you. Whether you want to be a beach boy or a champion bodybuilder, this is the system for you. You can also ask Francesco questions through E-Mail and this totally personalizes this amazing system. It’s liking having your own professional coach!!! My life changed 180 degrees in less than 6 weeks why shouldn't it do the same for you?

I'd like to tell you, Francesco, that your system is definitely the best around.​

I am in my 5th week of my first 6 week cycle. I am totally blown away by the gains your MuscleNOW program has given me. TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY!!!!!!! I have been working out off and on, sometimes serious sometimes not, for over 3 years. I have accomplished more in 5 weeks with MuscleNOW than in those 3 years combined. Those 3 years don't even come close to what MuscleNOW has done for me over the past 5 weeks.

I found your website while searching the net for cures to hardgainers. I found two sites that were of interest to me, yours and one other. What sold me was that you downplayed the use of those bogus supplements, all those good for nothing products that just waste your money. So I decided to give MuscleNOW a try. The problem with my training in the past was that I didn't eat enough. I thought the only thing that I needed was protein with little carbs. Boy was I wrong. My arms are no longer like toothpicks, I am getting some guns. I am starting to get that V-shape torso. It is unbelievable. I have a curved spine that has caused me great back pain in the past, but no longer. My back in solid and strong and I have not had ONE episode of pain since starting your program. Everybody keeps asking me questions and wanting to know what supplements I am taking. I just laugh. It is also funny when they see me eating and can't believe how I eat so much and look the way I do. Even my wife is amazed, now she is a believer.

I plan on recommending you to everybody I can. All I can say is I hope that everybody would give this MuscleNOW program a try. I was a huge skeptic, even after the first week, but after that once I saw the results I knew you and your program was no joke or hoax.

Thank you so much and God Bless.​

Wow, what a program. For close to 10 years, have been trying to "bulk up." Like you, I have tried everything from weight gain powders to extreme diets only to be left with thin arms and a thick belly. With the help of your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program, that has all changed. This year brings with it my 40th birthday gladly celebrated because I am in the best shape of my life. I catch myself being startled when reaching for something and my bicep brushes against my chest, very cool. Or, when the local "muscle head" ask if I'm on steroids.

Thanks for those moments.​

Here is a little update on my progress. After two weeks, I gained 15 lbs, 2” on my chest, 1” on my arms, 1” on my quads, and 1/2” on my calves. I am totally amazed with my results thus far. I only wish I had started 3 years ago after purchasing the program.

Francesco,

Amazing improvements with almost 3 full months of going 2 to 3 times a week to the gym. A few people have accused me of juicing up! They comment that it’s impossible to grow that huge with so little training and in such a minuscule period of time. Also, the fact that every single week my strength increases! Just amazing! I seriously feel like I'm on steroids. I mean, the strength is unimaginable. Your program truly is the NATURAL steroid! It's quite frightening how big I am getting! The chest is ripped and very large + the traps and back muscles are huge because of those shrugs. I still don’t understand how everyday I am getting more muscular and heavier, every day! I mean the arms & the chest, shoulders, traps and so forth are all so large. Quite incredible.

I'm squatting usually between 425 and 510 pounds. The numbers are way up there now and my legs are getting huge. Also I have been doing heavy shrugs of between 350 and 450 pounds. People are already telling me that it's AMAZING that an 18 yr old is squatting 500 pounds.​

Just had to tell you that when I started the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program 7 weeks ago I could bench 75 kilos, but this morning I cranked out 3 sets of 4 at 110 kg!!! I am also proud to say that I have put ANOTHER quarter inch on each bicep and over 1 inch on my chest. I have had a half inch increase in waist size put this is minor compared to my arm growth. I have noticed a nice big vein running up my bicep and hope to see more of it in the future.

Other people have told me that size gain I achieved in the first two weeks is only possible over a series of months while I have achieved it (thanks to your program) in a fraction of the time. Also my wife thanks you for your suggestions on weight loss and is currently putting them to use.

I think more people need to be educated in this very confusing area. I see so many people, even experienced lifters, who have terrible form, don't know what to eat and worst of all buy crappy supplements (by the bucket load). I only have one worry -- someone from my gym may buy your great program and end up getting as big as fast as me!

Thanks mate, your MuscleNOW program works.​

Francesco,

I stumbled across the MuscleNOW website while searching the internet for advice on how to gain weight. Adding muscles to my skinny body has been a lifelong struggle, so the MuscleNOW website really spoke to me. I decided to give it a try. I began MuscleNOW and immediately noticed a change in my body. It is hard work, but well worth it, as I am finally gaining substantial muscle. I look forward to working out and I feel and look better than I ever have! I can't thank you enough for making this information available!​

Francesco,

I just wanted to tell you of the improvements I have gotten over the past 5 weeks. I am now on week 6 of your MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding program. Starting the program I measured 15 inch arms, and in week three I gained 1/2 inch! I can't wait to see the measurements at the end of this week. I have veins that I have never had before; very much detail now in my muscles. The diet is very easy to follow. I have had so many compliments on my body since I have started your program. This is the most legitimate workout program I have seen yet! I get a kick out of watching people workout now. I have even caught up with a few of the older guys in the gym who were way past me in strength, but strength isn't even what I was aiming for, it was just a well developed body, and you have made it happen! I recommend your program to anyone who is looking for the most effective way to gain muscle mass FAST. Your MuscleNOW program is real and I thank you for your knowledge.​

Francesco,

Thank you so much for not only making me feel better physically about myself, but also for making me feel better mentally. I am confident in everything I do now. This has allowed me to perform better in college and at my job. In 16 weeks, using the MuscleNOW program, I gained 10 lbs of muscle and lost 1 lb of fat! I have been using the program now for 6 months. I weighed 120 lbs when I started, and now I weigh 136 lbs (and have an even lower body fat level than when I began the program)! My arms were 11.75 inches flexed and now are 13.3 inches! My chest has gone from 35 inches to just under 37 inches! Even my family can't believe that such a "stick" boy could produce such good muscle gains. This program has provided me such great results that I have not experienced a workout day that wasn't filled with motivational thoughts. Thank you for being so supportive and answering ALL of my questions. You have helped me realize true happiness in my life!​

Do you want to be entertained by an audio and videotape or do you want to workout and get big fast?

Anyway, the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program has worked for me. I bought it almost two years ago, tried it briefly then, but had to stop because my wife and I had a child and we both had to rearrange our schedules.

Now, 18 months later I've started the MuscleNOW program again. The results have been eye popping. Friends and family are shocked at the difference 2 months have made on my body. I went from 163 lbs to 175 in 2 months (6 pounds the first month and 6 the second). My physique has changed dramatically. I don't have to flex for anyone to see how ripped my chest, back and arms have become. I feel great about myself.

And the lifetime personal training has helped me in ways I couldn't begin to explain. Francesco has helped with my diet, and recommended different exercises. No question I asked was too difficult or too dumb. I usually had an answer from him within 48 hours (most times 24).

Nothing beats being able to go to the author for diet and training answers.

The course is well worth what Francesco is charging for it. Actually, it's worth more. My advice? Go with MuscleNOW.​

Francesco,

I am a 16 yr old male, and have picked up 19 lbs, added over an inch on both biceps and my chest. Thanks for the great program and most importantly for one that works.​

Francesco,

I am in Iraq. I have used your system to bulk up when I first got here from 170 pounds to 186 pounds. Truly amazing! I am now focusing on the fat loss phase because I want to tighten up before I am reunited with my family. This program takes the guess work out of it. I have been working out and "playing with fitness" for years. Your MuscleNOW program more than lived up to my expectations. I have introduced your system to many of my friends and all have had the same successes. My very best for you and your family.​

Hey Francesco, this is Josh Ghavidel. I just wanted to thank you for putting together such a wonderful plan. I have not missed a workout and I have stuck to the diet consistently. What do I have to show for it? Well, a six pack, many compliments, and 10 more pounds of solid muscle!! I feel and look much better than I ever have.

I do not mind at all if you use this message as a testimonial. I mean, if someone reads mine, and that reading convinces him or her to buy your plan, I would help out a person to reach their physical goals, and that is great. So go ahead and use it.

Thank you so much.​

I have been following your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program for the past three months, and I now look far better. Just before I began, I weighed 125 lbs with my chest measuring 35", biceps at 11.5". In about three months, I weighed 144 lbs with my chest size at 38", and biceps at 13.25". I don't hear the word "skinny" or "too thin" anymore. In fact, I've been hearing lots of compliments recently. My co-workers are surprised at how my dress shirts that once fit sluggishly now actually look small on me. My housemate's friend thought that I was a different person. He asked my housemate, "Did you get a new housemate?" I THANK YOU so much for your support and advice throughout my training.

I recommended you and your MuscleNOW program to a natural bodybuilding site where the author "claims" that you can only put on 1 - 1.5 inches in a year, and I told him proudly that with your program I've put on just over 1 inch in 5 and a half weeks with no steroids or supplements!!!!

It's hilarious really - so many preach the wrong info. One site I came across said 20g was enough protein for each meal with 6 meals per day - and then the author claimed that only 10 pounds of lean mass could be gained in one year! Most bodybuilding programs seem to limit themselves; by making it easier, they make it harder in the long run.

Thanks for all the advice and the great program. I look forward to even more gains.​

It's been sometime since I've emailed you with my progress using your extraordinary MuscleNOW bodybuilding program. I hope all is well with you. I began MuscleNOW 7 years ago and was astonished with the results it gave me. I am a "hardgainer" and for years I struggled to gain any size. I tried all the latest supplement that came out, and nothing worked as it claimed to add size. When I stumbled onto your website by chance, I read the promises and figured I've got nothing to lose, as I was spending the same amount of money on supplements anyway. After following the diet and workout plan pretty much to the letter, I gained the strength and size I was so desperately seeking. While following MuscleNOW, people were asking me “what are you taking?" And it felt great to say, "nothing!"

The increased strength unfortunately made me greedy. One day while working back and triceps, without my usual workout partner and spotter, I injured my shoulder. And like most devoted lifters, I tried to continue lifting with my injury. This lead to some bad tendonitis in my shoulder/upper bicep area that totally crushed me. I lost all the confidence I had gained. This on top of other issues in my life, forced training to the back burner where it stayed for two years. But I'm happy to say, that I gained a new drive to return to the gym, and get back the almost 30 pounds I gained using MuscleNOW the first time. Yea, almost 30 pounds! I started your system at roughly 163 and was 190 when I was injured. I lost 20 pounds of that during my off time, and am determined to get every pound back harder and trimmer then before! That's why I have decided to return to the MuscleNOW system. I'll keep you posted on my progress, and thanks again for all the support you have provided through you emails, it's always good to know you are there!

Thanks again and keep up the good work!​

Francesco,

First off, let me just tell you how impressed I am with your MuscleNOW program. In a little more than a month, I have noticed more improvement in my muscles than I have ever before, even when I worked with a so called 'personal trainer'. I have noticed at least 5-10 lbs of muscle growth. Thank you for sharing your techniques.​

First I would like to congratulate you on a very well written program. There is a lot of valuable info and you have laid it out in a format that is very easy and enjoyable to read.

It has been a lot of hard work for me but you also should be congratulated. I have always considered myself a hardgainer. I naturally have a lean body style low body fat, fast metabolism. Growing up I despised being called skinny. I never thought I could put on real muscle weight. With your program I have gone from 161 pounds to 180 pounds in two full cycles (12 weeks). I have gained 1.5” on each arm and 3" on my chest. All of my strength has gone up in every single exercise.

I'm now the strongest and the biggest that I’ve ever been. Many relatives have been complimenting me and embarrassing me by calling me Schwarzenegger and saying I look like a Chippendale. But thanks to MuscleNOW my efforts have been working.

Thanks for a great program.​

I have a 3 month update. First of all, I think that i have got my money’s worth. I have gained approx. 16 pounds, and gained almost 2 inches on my biceps and 3 inches on my chest.

Im glad to know that I finally found a routine that’s not too difficult, and shows results. Your MuscleNOW program would be great for high school sport teams. Parents wouldn’t have to worry because their kids aren’t taking any supplements that could harm them, and they would be eating healthier. Parents are always trying to push their kids to eat better these days, especially mine. Thanks for everything.​

Francesco,

I've been using the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program now for 2 months. My job (active duty U.S. Army) prevents me from being able to follow the dietary requirements to the letter, but the results have still been awesome.

My arms were stuck at 17 3/4" for 6 YEARS (no kidding), and after 2 months on your program, they are just over 18 1/2" now, plus 10 lbs of lean mass. I'm lucky if I can eat every 4 hours, let alone every 3 hours. I usually get 5 hours of sleep at night, 6 or 6 1/2 on a good night.

MuscleNOW is a great program - in fact, it's unequaled.​

Francesco,

I have been working out for easily 15 years and have never seen results. I am now midway through my second cycle on your MuscleNOW program, I've gained 10 pounds and am seeing serious changes. And so is everyone else. And get this. I'm 48 years old and a classic ectomorph (skinny). There is an enormous amount of information in your MuscleNOW program and it all makes sense. You start to realize that it's not a mystery. And somehow, I don't know how, you have a way of actually getting through to people. There are a trillion plans on the market and I've never stuck with any of them longer than a month before I get bored or started to adapt and then the whole thing falls apart before I know it. I am coming up to 12 weeks on your program and I've never missed a workout or thought to alter your recommendations in any way. THAT'S an accomplishment!

Thanks for your help. Your MuscleNOW program has been truly amazing.​

Hi Francesco,

First I'd like to express my happiness with your method of diet and training. I ordered your MuscleNOW program and started training/dieting according to your instructions beginning five weeks ago. I've in total trained for about 16 years, and never experienced a training program which stays interesting and motivating through the constant variation which it incorporates.

​Since now MuscleNOW has brought me about 4 kilos extra weight without adding waist size or fat, as far as I can judge, while muscle has increased.

I have been using your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program for a few months and I wanted to let you know that I am still getting results. I saw one of my cousins and he made a funny comment to me. It was something like this, "How are the steroids doing? Looks like they are working." I just laughed to myself. This made me feel good. People are noticing a difference. After Jui Jitsu training I took my shirt off and one of my buddies asked if I have been hitting the weights hard. That was pretty cool!

The best complement I have received is from my wife, I told her that I have gained about 4 pounds and she said that my body fat still looks low. That was great coming from her because she sees me ever day. The MuscleNOW program definitely works!

Thank you.​

It’s been forever since I've written! I've been insanely busy with school, and of course, working out! I thought I’d drop a quick line to let you know how I’ve been doing with my progress. Last year at about this time when I started the MuscleNOW program, I weighed about 155 lbs at 6'1" tall. I now weigh 177 lbs and some change with 10% body fat. Pretty much every muscle group is really improved and bodybuilding/fitness has become so much more to me. I am a student supervisor in my college’s amazing new weight room, and I love helping people out in the gym, teaching them about proper nutrition, etc.

I've broken plateau after plateau. My sister that I see only once a week would note every week that I look bigger and more muscular every time she saw me. In my first 6 weeks of MuscleNOW, I gained more than a few years gave me before. My strength has skyrocketed! I went from benching 135 to 175 lbs! My arms are also incredibly strong compared to what the used to be. I am doing almost twice the weight I used to do in many exercises. The other great change is how I feel. The diet is great! When you start eating what your body wants, when it wants it, you feel so good. I am probably the healthiest person I know! Thanks again for all your help! Feel free to use this message in your testimonials if you wish. I know how important the testimonials are, since they were the major factor in my investment in the MuscleNOW program.​

Hi Francesco,

I'm on your MuscleNOW program and making incredible gains. I love lifting heavy and my body has definitely changed for the better. I am now at 180 lbs with about 10% bf. I am so thrilled to have found MuscleNOW and recommend it to all my friends.

Thank you for you help Francesco.

All the best.​

Hi Francesco,

I purchased your MuscleNOW program about a year ago and it has changed my life! I have always been looking for a way to gain weight. Before I got your program I was spending over $200 a month on weight gainers and other supplements in order to try and gain weight. For the most part it made the numbers on the scale go up, but it also brought my waist size to 40 inches.​

Since I have been on your program I have lost 9 inches of fat from around my waist, and I have increased the size of my chest, arms and legs with new muscle.

I never realized how important diet was or for that matter the proper training techniques you have taught me. The best part of the whole program is, if I have a question I can email you and usually get an answer in 24 hours.

Thanks so much!​

Hi Francesco,

Man, you sure are the real thing. At the beginning I was skeptical about this program, but you have delivered what you promise and for me that is big, being a man of my word and sure you are too. I started the MuscleNOW course only doing cardio. I did 6 weeks of cardio monitoring my heart rate like you said, 30 minutes a day 5 days a week, and now am on my 3 week with cardio and weights, I went from waist size 43" 1/4 to 38" 1/2, a whopping 4" plus inches off my fat belly, my arms got 1/4 inch bigger, and I feel like new, growing like a baby.

I tell people the truth about your program, it's the best out there.​​

Well, I just finished up my second week and I must admit, so far I'm very impressed. I don't think I have ever been this motivated about training before. I took my second measurements and I have already gained 1/2" on my arms and lost a 1/2" on my waist. That has never come close to happening before. It's always been very small gains and a lot of work. I kept thinking my wife had to have measured wrong or something. I made her check it three times.

And you were right, so many people have told me the info is wrong or not accurate and on and on. I told my wife that I would just keep working and then they can eventually see the results with their own eyes.

Thanks and keep up the good work!​

Francesco,

I have just made it my business to write to you about your awesome MuscleNOW program. I have been on (and off, but more on than off) your fat burning and muscle building diet and workout, for about 3 weeks now! I just wanna tell you that, after the first week on MuscleNOW, I started seeing my underwear, showing clearly for all the world to see, as my pants had sank to my hips. I too, couldn't believe the new found firmness of my body.​

After 3 weeks, I look great & feel great.​

Thanks a lot Francesco.​

Francesco,

I would just like to say, I'm ending my third week on your program - and WOW! Not only am I loving the eating plan, but it has re-energized my workouts.

Just for the record, I have seen more muscle and size gain, and more fat loss in the last three weeks, than I did in 12 weeks on my last program. In addition, I have stopped wasting money on supplements and have found that you were absolutely right about how these products are such a rip off.

To be honest, I did not anticipate these kind of results, so I did not take a "before" pic. The only pic I have is the before pic I took as I started my last routine, twelve weeks before I started your program. The changes from the last program were not much to brag about and my appearance was not much different from when I started, so I didn't even take an "after" pic. Having explained all that, I now wish I had - because my body is changing so fast!

Here are some measurement changes over a 3 week period while following your program. Remember that I am 39 years of age:

Chest: 38” to 39.25”

Right Bicep: 13 3/8” to 14 1/8”

Left Biceps: 13.25” to 14”

Waist: 32.75” to 33”.

Thanks so much for putting your MuscleNOW program out there, it has changed my life. I can't even begin to express how much I love this program - I will never approach eating or working out the same again.

Thanks again, MuscleNOW is the real thing!​

As for my gains on MuscleNOW - the last time I weighed myself I had put on 20 lbs. That was nearly 7 months ago! I don't have scales in the house so I must purchase some. Since then though I think I've put on at least another 8-10 lbs. Measurement wise - the following gains in the last 11 months:

Biceps: 13.5” to 15.5” (gain of 2”)

Chest: 38.5” to 41.75” (gain of 3.25”)

Thighs: 20” to 22.25” (gain of 2.25”)

Waist: 30” to 31” (gain of 1”)

Neck: 15” to 15.5” (gain of 0.5”)

Weight: 146 lbs to more than 166 lbs (over 20 lbs gain)

Everyone I know has noticed my results big time and I have to say I'm very impressed myself and I have you to thank for cutting out the confusion out of gaining muscle. The vast majority of this weight gain seems to be lean muscle as I haven't gained much fat.

Thanks again Francesco for everything - you've eliminated all the grey areas I had when it came to building muscle.​

I am 44 years old, plus I have battled with extreme thyroid disease for years. I have been extremely hyperthyroid as well as extremely hypothyroid. I've had massive doses of radioactive iodine twice for the hyperthyroidism (Graves Disease), and that is what made me go hypothyroid. Now, I have a "dead" thyroid gland and need to take thyroid hormone daily and have to have blood tests done regularly for the rest of my life in order to stay on top of this. It's been a tough haul, but I have now made the commitment to put forth the effort and do your program in spite of it all.

I've said all of that to say this - I can only imagine what my results would be if I were younger and didn't have health issues. The MuscleNOW program is truly a program that will work for anyone willing to put forth the effort to do it, regardless of age or health issues.

I have lost fat while gaining size and strength consistently throughout the first 6 weeks. I was a pretty good sized guy to begin with at 6'1" and 247 lbs. But I was out of shape and some of that weight was fat, mostly around my middle. After 6 weeks of your program, my weight is down nearly 30 lbs (fat loss), and my pant size is down 2 inches to a 36" waist. My weight is now holding and the fat loss and muscle gain is noticeable on a daily basis. I don't really want to gloat about my numbers even though I'm quite proud, but a quick example of my gains is my biceps. I started with 15" biceps 6 weeks ago, and now sport an additional 1.5" on my upper arms. That example is indicative of my minimum gains overall. My chest, shoulders, back, arms, legs, you name it. There is muscle in places now where there wasn't even places before! And I’ve only just begun!!!!

I absolutely LOVE the program, and can hardly wait until I have several cycles under my belt. The results so far are nothing short of amazing! The MuscleNOW program is EXACTLY what you said it would be!

Prior to starting MuscleNOW I was already doing a heavy workout, but was actually overtraining and under eating. My results then were nowhere near the results I've gotten in just 3 weeks using the MuscleNOW program. I'm so grateful that I found you when I was looking online for supplements. This is so what I needed!

I love working out, I love the MuscleNOW program and best of all, I LOVE THE RESULTS! My advice to anyone that wants to make positive changes to their body, would be to get this program and make the commitment to start it and stick with it. The program is simple and very easy to understand. All you have to do is put forth the effort to do the workouts and follow the program, and you will see amazing results. Yes it does take effort, but the results speak for themselves! I am bigger and stronger in just 3 weeks with this program than I ever was with any other routine I have ever done, and I'm just getting going! I can only imagine how good I'm going to look after getting through several cycles, let alone a year from now. One of my co-workers asked me the other day if I was on steroids or what? Of course I was able to answer ABSOLUTELY NOT! But I took his question as a compliment nonetheless!

My lifting weights increase on a steady basis as well. Weight I was using for sets 6 weeks ago, I now use for warmups! It is VERY SATISFYING! Anyway, thanks again for your words of wisdom and experience, and thank you so much for the life changing program you call MuscleNOW!​

Hi Francesco,

I have been following your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program for about 11 weeks now and have seen unbelievable results. My waist went from 41 inches to 35, and I am bench pressing 225 lbs for 6 solid reps. I have been very consistent with my diet and exercise 5 days per week. I am 5'10", medium built, broad shoulders, and have gained a great deal of muscle size on my quads, biceps, and chest. I have never experienced these gains in the past because I was on a low fat high complex carb diet with very little protein.

My brother in-law has been working out 3-4 days a week for 4 years now. He currently loaded up on Creatine for the past year now and his muscles look real puffy. We are the same height and I worked out with him last weekend. He couldn't deal with the intensity nor could he bench press 225 for 3 reps without help!

There are a lot of skeptical people out there who are weary of ordering information off of the Internet (myself being one of them), but I had some knowledge of bodybuilding and a friend of mine had me convinced to start trying some supplements before I stumbled across your web site, and a lot of what you mentioned made sense. I am glad I ordered your MuscleNOW program as you have been very helpful. You saved me $$$$.​

Hello! First of all, I want to thank you for your excellent program!!! My wife and I have been on the program for a month now and our stomach size is decreasing and muscles are starting to pop out! THANK YOU!

End of week 3, I’ve lost 10 pounds. My bench has gone from 125 to 160. Lost almost 2 inches from my waist, so I figure I've probably lost 20 lbs of fat, but gained 10 of muscle. To summarize, I'M THRILLED with the results so far!

My energy level is light years above where it was, and I actually look forward to working out. The 3 day per week lifting routine seems to be working out well for now.​

Answers and results were what I was searching for and you have given them to me. In two weeks I have lost 2 inches off of my waist and gained an inch on my arms. I personally have spent the last 6 years searching. In the last 6 years I have tried every diet, supplement and weight training plus cardio program to get a great body. I even spent a year working in a supplement store.

I am currently working on my degree in Exercise Science, but none of my lecturers with all the correct letters after their names had any answers.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me answers to achieving results. If you could see me now I have a smile from ear to ear.​

Hey I just wanted to drop you a note on my progress. I am half way through my 2nd cycle. First off I am 35 years old, 6’2” and I have competed 2 times. I placed 5th in novice middleweight and 3rd in novice light heavy. I did not compete the following year because of an illness and other projects in my life. I do want to compete again. My goal is to be on stage at 5%-6% weighing 195-198 lb. I can see how this cycle takes shape. I am liking it. Here are my numbers:

Weight: 203 lbs to 205 lbs

L. Biceps: 16.75” to 16 7/8”

R. Biceps: 16.75” to 17”

Chest (relaxed): 45” to 46.5”

Chest (flexed): 47” to 48.5”

Waist (navel): 37” to 35.5”

Waist (pant line): 35.5” to 35”

Lean Mass: 176.6 lbs to 183.31 lbs

Body Fat: 13% to 10.58%

I used to do high volume once a week training. I usually felt over trained. I have yet to feel that using your MuscleNOW program, in fact I sometimes do not like taking the weekend off. I may start doing cardio on the weekend. I have not been very good with my eating, so I know that if I quit being lazy and get my first two meals of the day going in good order my gains will probably be much better. You know it’s funny, I was ready for a change in what I was doing, then I found your MuscleNOW program. It’s working. The big key is to feed the machine.​

Francesco,

Your program is very good. I workout 5 times per week, workout option A. I've added muscle definition and lost about 10 pounds and I've been on the program for only 5 weeks. Before I started your program, I found that my muscles leveled off after doing the same routine week after week. Your program provides muscle confusion which I find allows for non-stop addition of muscle. I would recommend this for anyone looking to improve their appearance with exercise and diet.​

Hi Francesco,

I want to tell you that I began the program 5 weeks ago, and I have seen some excellent results. I began the program weighing 190 pounds, not OBESE for me, because I had a lot of muscle, but definitely overweight. At this point, I weigh 182 pounds. 8 pounds in 5 weeks is pretty good for any long-term diet or lifestyle change, I think, but the real treat is that I know I have lost far more than 8 pounds of fat, since I am certain that on your program, I have put on a few pounds of muscle. I've lost about 5 inches off of my waist and see no sign of that slowing down, so the fat-loss phase in which I'm working is definitely effective.

I want you to know that I was doing a low-carb, high protein diet for about 3 years. I had indeed lost weight, but eventually my body just STALLED. I wasn't losing any more weight. Beyond the physiological effects on the muscles and fat, I think your program has a very powerful effect on curbing appetite and equalizing chemical balances that might otherwise lead towards intense cravings for different types of foods.

Best regards.​​

Francesco,

Within 3 months of starting the MuscleNOW program, my shoulder strength literally doubled! 4 months into it my arms had gained an inch with my back gaining about 3. I am not a big guy at all and have always had trouble getting bigger, but this MuscleNOW program is absolutely better than any workout thing i've ever tried before. Thanks again man!

Thanks again for the whole deal man, e-mails and all.

God Bless.​

I'm a 50 year old busy psychotherapist and a vegetarian.

I've been doing Francesco's MuscleNOW system for 11 weeks now and I'm really loving it. I'm gradually losing body fat and gaining muscle mass. My strength on some exercises is going through the roof. I just beat my all time Personal Best by doing a set of 6 Shrugs with 420 lbs.

I've tried lots of weight lifting systems over the years both on my own and with a trainer. Francesco's MuscleNOW system is the most comprehensive bodybuilding program I've ever come across. And, because of the ability to email Francesco with any of my questions I can keep fine tuning my program to maximize the possibility of fully meeting my training goals.

Owning and working with Francesco's MuscleNOW training system is the single best thing you can do to create the body of your dreams.​

I was at the gym today for my cardio workout (today wasn't a weights day) and I had just finished doing my treadmill workout. I went back to the changing rooms and was drinking some water (I was sweating quite a bit) and a woman in the changing rooms made some small talk with me.

"Had a good workout?" she asked. I nodded, smiling, and told her I'd just finished my treadmill session. Then she said, "Stop drinking the water!" I put down my water bottle, completely confused, and asked, "Why not?" I expected a long scientific answer threaded with examples and names of studies to prove her point. Instead she said:

"Well, you've just lost a lot of weight doing all your exercise, and now you're putting it all back on!" I paused, and then said,

"What?" I just didn't get it. She repeated what she just said, and then she said, "Water makes you gain weight! Don't drink it!" I just stared at her, completely confused, wondering if there was a hidden camera somewhere in the changing room. I slowly said, "But I'm thirsty - I've just exercised and I'm dehydrated." She paused for a moment to think, and then said,

"Fine, but just don't drink too much then." I just stared. She then said, "How are you eating? What do you eat?" I mumbled something about having meal ratios and generally having a sensible diet. She then said, "I just eat fruits and vegetables - I've lost so much weight already. You should do the same thing - just eat fruits and vegetables."

Anyway, the point of me telling you this? It just brings back such a blast from the past. I've always had major problems with food. Always. I used to be that woman, trying out fad diets and following what the scales said like crazy. On your program I have gained 6kg. Had I gained this much on any other plan, I would have been devastated and resorted to one of my crash diets. But on this plan with my extra 6kg, I've never been happier, because it's 6kg of muscle. My clothes are fitting looser (my tracksuit bottoms were falling as I ran on the treadmill today!) and my fitness levels have increased so much.

I guess your MuscleNOW program just encourages such a sensible attitude towards food and I'm really really grateful for that. I mean it. You have no idea how good it feels to finally eat without guilt. It feels great to put food in my mouth without feeling the need to count stupid 'points' or look up everything in a stupid carb counter book or a GI index. It's taken me the good part of seven years (my problems with food began at the age of eleven, believe it or not) to feel this happy with myself. One thing I was afraid of on your MuscleNOW program was getting too obsessive with food once again and ending up on that all-too-familiar pathway to an eating disorder, and that just vanished as soon as I read through the program. I don't feel deprived in any way at all. And wow, does it feel good.

I did try and explain the need for protein to the woman at the gym, but she was adamant her system was working. She proudly told me she was a size 10, and stood up and gave me a twirl to prove it. On close examination, her figure had virtually no muscle and most of her mass was just fat. Seriously.

I, on the other hand, continue to weight train and eat sensibly and max out on my cardio sessions and see fantastic results.

I owe a lot to you and your program.

God bless you.​

Hi Francesco,

First of all, I'd like to thank you for creating such an amazing muscle building program. I've been strength training for over 12 years and frustrated with the lack of results. I've been following your MuscleNOW program for almost 2 years now and I see a significant improvement. I'm a female who is not aiming to look like a bodybuilder. I just wanted to put on noticeable muscle and look solid and healthy and I think that I've achieved that. I didn't tell my boyfriend that I've been training differently, and about 7-8 months into the program he felt my arms and said "Dang!, what have you been doing?! So anyway, thanks!​

Francesco,

Your MuscleNOW guidelines are the most effective advice anywhere. I've been a student of bodybuilding for years but have not exerted the dedication or consistency necessary to achieve great results. I've always taken good care of my mind and body. Now, I'm retired and find time, daily, to pursue my goals, one of which is fine tuning what I have left to work with. I'm presently 62 years old and have no physical infirmities. Since studying your recommendations I must say I'm impressed with my gains. Diet + consistency + reps to fail have made my workouts interesting and productive. I'm in the gym at most 50 min. Enough about me, just wanted to let you know how valuable your MuscleNOW bodybuilding course has been to me.

Your program never ceases to move and motivate me each time I review its contents. I enjoy reading through, time and again, your theory and reasoning especially when I can use a "kick in the Proverbial gluteus maximums"​

I've been lifting for many years and had succumbed to the bodybuilding magazine fraud. More sets, more exercises, etc. I have to say that your course is the most comprehensive material on the subject that I've ever seen, and that's with over 20 years of bodybuilding experience! Now I'm finally starting to get out of the non-progress that has had me stymied for so many years!

All I can say is thank you!​

Hi Francesco,

I am really excited about working out everyday because I have already seen results. This is by far the best advice I have ever read, and am extremely grateful for it.​

I must say at first I was skeptical. I have been lifting weights for almost 3 years, I know that's not too long, but in those 3 years I have done every diet and supplement out there, and nothing has compared to your diet and workout plan, straight up bro thanks. I can honestly say I have seen more results (quickly) in 3 weeks then I have in 3 years.

I follow your words in MuscleNOW like the Bible because I feel that it is the single best program I have ever tried. That is why I follow it wholeheartedly. My friends, new wife and family think I am out of my tree. They are then subsequently puzzled when they realize and comment that I look bigger and stronger. Go Figure!

Hello Francesco,

First off, I'd just like to say that you, sir, are a genius. How you ever managed to figure out both the perfect training methods and the perfect carbohydrate/protein ratios is a mystery. And as far as I'm concerned, the money I spent to buy MuscleNOW is by far the best money I've ever spent. Over the years since I bought your course, I've used Plans C and D at different times, and I've experienced miraculous gains from both. You can't imagine how cool it is to be able to ask you questions.

Anyway, thank you, Francesco. You're the best!​

I just wanted to thank you for your MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding program. My youngest son saw an ad in a muscle magazine and asked me to buy your program as a Christmas present. I was very skeptical. I don’t like buying things on the internet. But he begged and promised he would follow through with the program. I was still skeptical. But I thought it might be what he needed to get his life back on track. He was an excellent athlete a few years back before he went under a surgeon’s knife that left his equilibrium out of "whack" and his hearing compromised. His life began a downward spiral that lasted for 4 years. Within the past 3 months I have seen such a dramatic change in his body and his emotional well being, that I just had to thank you. He and his older brother are very dedicated to using your MuscleNOW program. They both have most of their friends now going to the gym and working out. To see my 17-year-old and my 21-year-old sons choosing exercise and good nutrition over all of the other negative options in life makes a mom’s heart beat with a gratitude that you can’t imagine. Thanks.

Hi Francesco,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your excellent program. I have spent hundreds of pounds in the past, trying to get a better body (most of that went to bodybuilding supplements!), and your MuscleNOW program has answered all the questions I have ever needed to know. It's exactly what I have been searching for!

There are so many useless bodybuilding programs out there, people need to know that MuscleNOW is the best around. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

Keep up the good work, you are the answer to every bodybuilders prayers.​

Francesco,

I just wanted to let you know how much I am improving since getting the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program! I've trained for almost 10 years and I was going nowhere fast. Heavy Duty had me all screwed up thinking that less was more, but I wasn't getting any bigger. Hell I was "under training"! And here I thought I was a hardgainer. I make gains every week. I'm getting great pumps, even during the day I feel pumped. I hope you reach other bodybuilders who think they are overtraining. MuscleNOW works!

You truly dispel the myths about bodybuilding and are helping hundreds of people in the process. If there's any way I can offer you some sort of help, let me know.​

Francesco Castano ruined my voice, and I'll explain why at the end of this true story. Months and months back, I was well into working out. True, I was attempting all kinds of exercises (most centered on widely varied pushup and abdominal routines) yet I did not have a solid foundation on which to work. I was using a resistance gizmo for arms and shoulders, and to shape my abs I, and I confess it in writing here, used a product endorsed by a former sitcom star. Low I'd sunk indeed. All this however, was replaced with weight training. Ah yes, I'd discovered the wonder and benefits of old school iron pumping. The only problem remained which exercises to do? Which were most effective? I poured over muscle magazines trying to piece together the ultimate workout.

Then, after many dollars and many paper cuts, I found Francesco's MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding program. Francesco's system works. You will lose body fat, you will get bigger, you will get ripped. You will experience that surge of adrenaline and that wave of triumphant intensity when you crank out your last rep of your last set on a high set week (cycling, you'll read all about it). I don't endorse anything...ever. I don't wear company shirts, or hats with logos, I detest brand names. I'm endorsing Francesco because this past summer everyone I knew asked me what supplement (even steroid) I was taking. And they continued to ask me over and over, because they couldn't believe that I could've attained my physique NATURALLY, without buying any high-priced supplement advertised in the fitness mag guaranteeing fat loss or muscle gain in three weeks or your money back.

Thus, I had to explain, over and over continually, that I was on no supplement, and that I needed no supplement, simply that I was on an incredible workout program. Yes, Francesco Castano gave me laryngitis as I tried to repeat the truth to everyone, but he also gave me a body that becomes more finely chiseled each and every week. So I guess we're even.​

Hi Francesco,

I've always been skeptical of supplements and have searched fruitlessly for information on proper training and dieting methods. By chance, fate or the hand of God I stumbled across your MuscleNOW web site in search for weight gain information for a university assignment. I couldn't drag myself away from your site! I spent probably 2-3 hrs reading the information on it before deciding this is for me.

Reading your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program has cleared up my confusion regarding training and dieting and I now understand why I wasn't getting the muscle gains I desired. In 3 weeks on your program I've gained 5 pounds. In my chest I've gained 1 3/4 inch and have gained 1/2 inch in both my arms. I haven't had gains like this since I first started weight training over 4 years ago.

Also, I've broken through my 130 lbs barrier on the bench press. For ages I've been trying to get to the stage where I could start on this weight but only ever managed 3 or 4 by myself. At the start of the 2nd week on your program I started on 130 and got to 8 without help and failed on the 9th. I was so stoked!!!!!!!

Thanks, and God Bless!​

Hi Francesco,

Just thought I'd let you know that now, in just a couple of months, my bench press has shot up another 40 lbs. making my max 265 lbs. I never thought I'd be able to bench that much. My weight also went up about 8-10 lbs, while my waist went down about a half inch. I also gained about an inch in my arms, thighs, chest and an inch and a half in the calves. Your MuscleNOW program is definitely the best workout I've tried. And I've not even been real strict with the diet. Everyone is saying I look bigger. Even the owner of the gym I go to said so. I've told everyone I know about your MuscleNOW program. Some couldn't believe that I did only 2-3 sets on some weeks. They think that's "not enough". But apparently it is because I'm gaining and they're getting minimal results. I LOVE IT!

Thanx once again for your guidance.​

I'm in my 6th week of my first MuscleNOW bodybuilding program cycle. I'm very impressed with the results. Even though I haven't followed your diet plan exactly, I have used it as a guide. I'm starting to see a lot more muscle, I am slowly melting away the love handles while gaining muscle.

Also I have had back problems for years, but my back has never felt better. I used to live off ibuprofen and now I hardly ever need it because sciatic pain has greatly decreased. Also I really like the psychological thinking you touched on in the beginning of your guide, I could really relate to some of the lame excuses and reasoning I would tell myself, it helped me be more aware of what not to do and prepare myself mentally to succeed. Anyway, thanks for help.​

I purchased you MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding program six months ago. After carefully reading it and working out my diet I began the program nearly five months ago and must say I have had fantastic results. I was very optimistic before I read your program but all my negative thoughts have well and truly been squashed.

Your program captures bodybuilding in its entirety. I now see the way I eat and train as a way of life, not just a hobby. I had previously been training 2 years, much of it as wasted time!!

I am now in the process of fulfilling a dream and something I never thought I could do and that’s compete as a natural bodybuilder with the INBA federation as a novice.

Thanks heaps!​

First let me thank you for the effort you put into this. You have made my life a lot easier and have enabled me to reach my goals. It is obvious the Lord used you, and He led me to your web sight. I am 28, and have been in and out of the work out scene for 13 years. I averaged 155 lbs at 6-0 tall. I have had only minimal results using creatine and it affected my kidneys. I have never seen enough results to keep me motivated. Just weeks after starting your system, people noticed my arms getting bigger and my shoulders. Any way thank you. You have the only bodybuilding program that works as far as I am concerned, I have tried numerous supplements, and none ever did what they said, even through consistent work outs.

Again, thank you.​

Hi Francesco,

I have been a customer of yours for a few years now, and I would just like to say that I am still following your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program religiously. I am definitely still making gains. This was the best bodybuilding investment I could have ever made. Had I known at the time that I would be where I am today, I would have paid thousands for your MuscleNOW program, and more importantly, for all of your advice.

We have discussed many different topics in the past relating to general health, not just bodybuilding, and I thank you very much for your time.​

Greetings from Brunei Darussalam. When I received the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program, I can't tell you how extremely excited I was, and I wasted no time in reading it.

Wow! Talk about a boat-load of valid bodybuilding information! Your MuscleNOW program has everything I ever wanted to know, and has definitely more than all those muscle building training programs that I have invested before. They're very clear and easy to follow and to comprehend too. Some of the information in the training manuals I purchased in past were valid though as they did provide me with some result but lack in other areas which are quite crucial for the drug-free builders, such as nutrition. They are either incomplete or totally don't make any sense! But your nutritional program has, by far, surpassed every single bit of the hundreds of bodybuilding nutrition theories that I have ever come across!

The nutritional information that you outline in your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program is unique and one of its kind. I have never come across such a well-written and brilliantly structured plan. It helps me clear, if not all, but most of the confusion over the diet issue, and you pretty well know that this is the one area in bodybuilding which is the most debated and confused topic. Finally, my long search for the perfect and personalized nutritional plan is over.

Even after just training for 2 weeks, I have already been able to grasp attention and turn heads, especially among gym mates and few young iron-pumpers in the local gym where I train. Some of them, even don't say a word about what they see, but you know you can tell that they notice something different about you from the looks on their faces. Of course, the progress I've made thus far is still on a small scale, and I believe I'm still far from maxing out in terms of my personal muscular development (God knows how much muscle building potential He has in store for me). But with God's grace and your training aid, I strongly believe I will make a whole lot of muscle packing pounds faster and larger than anything else that I have ever tried before (judging from the amount of progress made and the rate at which it is going). So, keep your head up and e-mail checked, and be on the look out for a guy from Brunei Darussalam in weeks or few months to come, whose bodybuilding gains stem solely, genuinely and legitimately from the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program.

I should probably take this opportunity to give you a thank you. I followed your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program to the letter for about 6 months. The only exception was that I simply could not eat the required amount of food. Whilst I did not get huge gains in muscle size I did get a lot of comments. In fact I was walking down the street and someone stopped me and asked me if I was a triathlete. And my friend who played first class rugby league for ten years and was a personal trainer told me he simply could not believe how fit I looked and what was I doing?

In short, whilst I did not put on more that about 4kg it did change my physique and my look greatly which I am very pleased with.​

Dear Francesco,

I have to tell you that I am another satisfied customer. I love this program. Since starting MuscleNOW less than 6 months ago, my body weight has gone from 195 to 228 lbs. My goal has been to get to 230 lbs. My strength and rep form and overall capabilities continue to go up almost every workout. I have done 3 complete 6 week cycles. The alternating rep work out weeks are perfectly placed to allow my body rest and I do not feel tired out or bored on this workout. Bench went from 185 lbs. for 4 reps. to 255 for 5 reps. Squats went from 225 lbs for 5 reps to 415 lbs for 5 reps last week.

Thank you for the MuscleNOW program, and for your support.​

To make a long story short, I ordered your program about 4 or 5 years ago. I followed the program for about 8 months and made huge gains. Well, i am embarrassed to say when the "real world" hit, I got off off the program and lost just about everything I had gained. On August 1st, I decided i was tired of being overweight and feeling like crap all the time. I am proud to say that as of today, I have lost almost 40 lbs (238 lbs to 202 lbs) and I look even better than I did the first time. I have followed the diet as close to perfection as possible. I can now drive by McDonalds (and the like), and not even think twice. I have gone from a 43" waist to a 36" waist, and I am still losing weight and inches. I can almost fit into a 34" pair of pants. I can not believe it!!

What's more amazing is my shirts are fitting tighter, I look more muscular, and my wife loves the way I look. I just wanted to share my story with you. This program has worked for me TWICE. Once in college, at 21 years old, and now at the age of 26. Thank you so much, you have definitely changed my life!!!

God Bless You.​

The last time I wrote you I had lost 48 lbs and 11” in 10 months. Well it is 3 months later and the weight is still coming off and the strength is still going up. I have the best upper body development that I have ever had. I am starting to see veins in places that I didn't even know I had veins. My family and friends have noticed that I am becoming more cut and ripped every time they see me. I have after following your program for 13 months and 11 days lost 65 lbs and 13” off of my waist. I have maintained the same arm size (17.5 inches) and my legs have actually grown. All this in 13 months. I have never felt better. I have to buy new pants again. This will be the second time. I just wanted to thank you again. I also wanted to reassure all the skeptics out there that this program works if you work it. Thanks again and I will keep in touch.

Dear Francesco,

I think you would like to know about my results with your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program. After I got myself down to a 31" waist and had fair increases in strength I figured it's time to grow. I did 2 cycles with the 5 day a week program. The results have been nothing but AMAZING. I never thought I could add in 3 months 30 pounds! Man, that's just AMAZING.

I got so MUCH strength it was SCARY. I benched 225 pounds before the diet and I added 75 pounds, now using more than 300 POUNDS on the bench press in just 3 months.

I never thought I could be a big guy but now I AM!

I feel like I have a secret program while everyone struggles at my gym and I'm always adding more and more weights. It's a great feeling.​

Francesco,

Just a quick note of thank you for all of your hard work compiling your MuscleNOW program. Overall I am excited with my progress. I am quickly changing from a fat muscular guy to just muscular. At the start, my waist was 38”, and now after four weeks of consistent gym work I am at waist 34”. I'm cutting up while putting on size which is fantastic. The gym owner where I work out asked me what I have been taking for such dramatic results!

Thank you again for such an awesome program!​

To date, your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program has given me the best results of all systems I've tried. I ventured into Heavy Duty/ Mike Mentzer territory for quite some time, and it taught me that while one can maintain mass on once a week or less workouts, it doesn't yield the kind of startlingly quick gains that your MuscleNOW program does.

Between when I started your program in April and the beginning of July, at a height of 5'8, I went from 160 and 8% bodyfat with a 32 inch waist to 196 with a 33 1/2 inch waist. And, considering I was pulling 335 lbs for 12 on stiff legged deadlifts, and my abs were still very visible, I estimate that only 1/4-1/2 inch of that waist gain was fat. Since then, I've gotten as heavy as 210 at times, but at my present height of 5'9 I tend to look kind of funny above 200 lbs. Thanks to doing bench press using the technique outlined in the program, my chest has become absolutely ripped!

The point is people, MuscleNOW works! Thanks for all your help.​

I have been involved in weight training for 13 years and I went through all of the stages of being skinny, fat and now finally thanks to your MuscleNOW program, muscular and defined! I am only thankful because I have been frustrated for years.

Dear Francesco,

I followed the mainstream advice of so many magazines and took a whole heap of supplements to gain very little in 2 years worth of solid effort. My understanding at that point was that it was just luck, like I have bad "genes". People were always saying eat right, train "HARD", but no luck!

Like so many others I would train more than 5 days a week, with sessions of over 2 hours long. I would look in the mirror and think I'm seeing results. I would say things like in "just a few more weeks and I'm done", to the point where everyone would be impressed. I would go and train in such a manner you would think I'm trying to KILL myself because this is what I believed would get me the results I so badly wanted. I thought training harder and longer would equal better results (what an idiot I was!!!).

On MuscleNOW I was able to grow at 1/4 inch in ALL MUSCLE GROUPS every week without "fail" :). May not seem like much but add it over 8 weeks!

Here are some strength gains over 6 months:

Bench Press: 110 lbs to 220 lbs

Squat: 165 lbs to 539 lbs

Preacher Curl: 66 lbs to 163 lbs

It's not your "genes" or "luck" that governs your results, it IS ONLY THE RIGHT KNOWLEDGE. Labor Under Correct Knowledge = L.U.C.K​

Hi! How are you? First I have to say that MuscleNOW REALLY works! Incredible I have many change on my body, I increase my weight and some important muscles like chest, back, triceps, legs. This really works! And I have only one year with this course and nobody in other gyms can make my body change like this! Thanks very much! Sorry for my bad English.

Thanks for all your help and I would just like to say that in these last four week (I just started the program) I have noticed drastic results. I and my family are starting to see muscle definition even under all my fat and I haven't even started the bigger diets. I have lifted weights before and have nowhere near achieved the fast results like I have on your MuscleNOW program, it is excellent. I am truly amazed as I thought that MuscleNOW would never work like this even when I started. YOUR program is the only one that I have found that tells me exactly what to eat, when to eat, how much to eat, what sort of exercises and the amount of exercises to do. It is great and well worth the investment considering I will have this knowledge and your guidance for life. You have truly created an excellent program and most importantly a unique one! You have done well my friend. I will keep you posted with my results.

Things are excellent with my diet and training (196 lbs. at 7.5% body fat -- test done by electrodes). My goal was to reach 200, but I think I look really good at my current weight; I'm trying to maintain this build rather than gaining.

It was really funny when I went to this gym, the guy doing my fitness evaluation asked me if I was getting ready for a bodybuilding show. I told him that this is purely done for aesthetics. Even a couple of guys that asked to work in with me happened to ask how I got like this. I could not believe my ears!!!!!!! It got so ridiculous that someone wanted to pay me. I told him that I'm actually working on a system derived by someone I have never met, and I gave him the MuscleNOW web site address.

I also got a very good compliment last weekend. Myself and some friends went to a batting cage to hack around. When it came to my turn I thought of taking off my sweater, so it would give me more mobility when swinging. Though I was wearing a tank top underneath my friends said wow, look at your biceps, chest and back! I was a little embarrassed and said leave me alone. During my at bat they kept on looking and commenting. One guy said Sam, I'm starting to feel motivated again. That was the best comment of all.

Thanks for the great program.​

I liked the idea of not wasting any more money on supplements that don't work, but most of all was Francesco's sincerity and personal guarantee that the program would work, so I bought the MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding course. I haven't been completely perfect in the diet due to medical reasons, so I attribute most of the improvements to the workout (plan A) itself. I had quit bodybuilding due to joint pains from the old "3 sets of eight" routine, always heavy, never growing. The MuscleNOW program allows for my joints to cycle, using both heavy and light weights, but always with full intensity.

I would undoubtable have even more gains by taking the diet more seriously. I'm 51 and 200 lbs. I've had two major heart attacks seven years ago, and have a pacemaker. That little lump under the scar isn't a muscle. My OTHER heart, the original, is working better than ever! AND, my taste buds have come to crave the simple, healthy foods. If I can do it, you can do it.​

Francesco,

I want to really thank you for all your hard work you have put into the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program. I have read it from front cover to back cover at least 3 times. It's great reading material especially when you lose confidence. But it's really hard to lose confidence when I'm following the guidelines of your program. It is SO INSPIRATIONAL. I couldn't get over how it just lifted my self esteem. I have been lifting weights for a while. I never gained an ounce. I got much stronger, but the results weren't there. So now I’m starting to gain weight and lots of strength! I began as 129 pounds and now I'm at 146 pounds after just 4 weeks into the first cycle. I have always been made fun of (and still am) for being skinny. So out of frustration, I got online that night and found your program and ordered it. I am so thankful for your time and efforts.

It would be great if you posted this email! I want it on your site because I was the hardest gainer! Seriously! Thanks for all your help!!!!!​

Francesco,

I have been on your MuscleNOW bodybuilding program for 12 weeks now (2 full cycles) and am impressed. With your 3 day workout routine, I have gained 12 pounds of muscle and increased definition. My goal when I started, by the way, was to gain 10-15 pounds. I have never been able to gain weight before despite repeated attempts, especially when I was a high school and college athlete, so I complement and thank you for your MuscleNOW program.​

Hey Francesco,

All I have to say is that your MuscleNOW natural bodybuilding program rocks!! It's been a while since I last e-mailed you but I was just waiting to complete a month with the course & so far the results have been AMAZING!!! I mean words can't tell how great I feel about myself & it's only been a month! Starting out at 5'9, my chest measured 35 inches & biceps 11 inches (exactly one month ago) & now, chest=35.5 inches while arms=12.5 inches (that's in a month!!).

Take care & God Bless you man.​

I graduated high school 13 years ago weighing 145 pounds at 6’1”. I started lifting because I was tired of being that sickly looking guy. My thought process was to get big without gaining weight. I tried to eat only what I needed to not be hungry. I lifted weights, usually the same old 3 sets of 8 reps without eating enough I never really got anywhere. I then started losing interest and found myself missing the gym more often than I was there. I did this for about 4 years. 9 years ago I weighed about 175 and being disgusted with little to no results I started the regular bulk up training. With this type of training I made very large gains unfortunately most of which was fat around my waist. I hated the fact that I had to gain all this weight to get stronger but from what I heard and had experienced this was the only way to get where I wanted. Everyone that I talked to was like EAT!!! And then eat some more. Also they said to take supplements. I did this and then trained the same way as before with 3 sets of 8 reps. I didn’t really like it but this was working in theory. I jumped up in weight to about 230 and my strength was a great deal better but I was still unhappy with the way I looked. After all, the reason I was doing all of this work was to look good, get bigger and be stronger. I still worked hard at this for about 2 years thinking it was the only way. Then I started looking at all of the resources I could find for something better.

One day I was on the internet and I came to the musclenow.com website. At first I was a little skeptical, but the more I read and when I got to the testimonial from you Francesco Castano your story, it sounded so much like what I had been through and tried that I had to give it a shot. After all, I had wasted that kind of money on all of the supplements over the years. So I ordered your MuscleNOW program 6 years ago. I took the time to read it over a few times and it was very easy to understand and it makes sense. I started doing what you said in MuscleNOW, changing the way I worked out, and the biggest thing was the diet, eating the right foods at the right times. In just a few months I started to see results. I was losing the waist I hated and still retained, even gained the strength that I wanted. In fact I had been asked many times what I was using and if I was doing anything illegal. I was growing and trimming up at the same time. Most people don’t think that this is possible, but I think that is because they are not really willing to give the 110% to do it. I used your training method for about 3 years and I was extremely happy with the results. Out of everything that I have tried nothing has ever given me these results and no regrets.

Three years ago my wife and I decided to build a house on our own. I took off a little more than a year from training. In doing this I have gained some of those hated inches back around the waist. Things have finally slowed down for me so I am jumping back on the wagon and I will be hitting it hard again so that I can regain that trimmed up look and feeling that I had enjoyed. The only reason I tell you this is because I feel that everyone needs to know that you have to stick with it and change your way of life to enjoy all of the benefits. Also I think that the only way for me to get the results back that I had is through the ways Francesco Castano talks about in his MuscleNOW program. Follow his system and trust me you will not be disappointed or lead astray.​

I am beginning my seventh week on the MuscleNOW bodybuilding program and I am so impressed with my results. Two weeks ago I upped my food intake and the results are in!! I gained six pounds, added almost 1/4 inch on my biceps, and added 1 inch around my chest.

Since I have started MuscleNOW I have gained nine pounds, added about 1/2 inch to my biceps, and added two inches around my chest, all while keeping my waist essentially the same (I lost a little in the waist then added a little when I upped my food intake, the loss and gain in the waist was 1/4 inch). Over all my body is improving quite a bit. I almost don't know how to act when I see my reflection in the mirror.

I want to thank you again for doing all the research and publishing your MuscleNOW program. I continue to be impressed with the results, as are my parents and family.

Your program puts everything together in a winning way. You also add an aspect of getting in shape that the others lack, and that is your focus on Jesus Christ.

I am looking more muscular than I have ever looked in my life. In addition to how I look to myself, others have noticed the improvements.

Thank you and God Bless.​

Dear Francesco,

I just wanted to give you my update after six weeks of training. I started off at 132 lbs and went up to 144 lbs. I am very pleased with your program and recommend it to anyone that is not happy with his or her appearance. I see how well it has done for me and plan on pushing even harder on my future workouts. Everyone is noticing a difference and is telling me how much better I am looking. Thanks for all your help and also for helping me build more confidence in myself.​

After being on the MuscleNOW training schedule and diet I grew 2 whole inches on both of my biceps in 2 short months. What is even more incredible is that one of the guys in my gym that trained at the same time of day as myself only put on around 1 whole inch in the same space of time, AND HE WAS USING STEROIDS!

This MuscleNOW program is pure gold, and you will not find anything like it anywhere else (believe me, I have looked).

Thanks again for all of your help and advice Francesco.​
