I wish the photos were equidistant. It’s hard to compare them because they’re taken from different vantage points.

As usual it’s a case of ‘because i can’t do it, it has to be impossible’.
I experience similar muscle gains to tim when I first started weight training but over a three to four month period, using an abbreviated whole body routine 3 days a week, I realised later I would have gained faster if i have exercised far less, If only I had known it was impossible to gain at such a rate, fortunately I did not..
Of course you will refuse to believe this because it would mean you had misspent the best part of 10 years and you’re not the ‘expert’ you think you are.

I agree with most of the comments on this post for one reason only… THERE’S SOMETHING FOR SALE!! If this was just a forum I may have believed this guy put on 30+ lbs of lean muscle in 4 weeks lmao… Reminds me of all the guys in the gym walking around thinking they’re fooling everybody, as if its not noticeable they’re on steroids… And this has nothing to do with hating on anyone, it’s about reality.. Although everyone is different, there are just some things that are physically IMPOSSIBLE.. I am a certified nutritionist and trainer aside of the fact I’ve been weight training for over 10 years NATURALLY… I started at 135 lbs and am now 170 lbs.. Took me 10+ years to put on 35 lbs of lean muscle while keeping my abs all throughout the process. And for the ppl that may say its cause I don’t push hard enough; you try doing 50 wide grip pull ups or 150 push ups. My favorite part is how he only worked out 4 hours a week aaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahaha this guy is a joke.. If you’re reading this Tim Ferris, I challenge you to any physical activity of your choice! It’s just frustrating watching ppl get scammed based on their insecurities.. Everybody wants the fast and easy way out but unfortunately with fitness t doesn’t work that way.. You have to PUT IN WORK!! And TIME. PERIOD.

But you’re fooling yourself if you don’t try it.

I got 10 pounds in 5 weeks. Spent 15 minutes twice a week in the gym. Not 30 pounds, but I didn’t need 30. And I’m maintaining it with 15 minutes in the gym once a week and a normal (healthy) diet.

If however you like spending hours a week in the gym, that’s a different style and you’re welcome to it.

I’m happy. Thank you Tim.
