Written in 1991 by Stuart McRobert and revised several times since, including a 2007 edition, the book covers the fundamentals of bodybuilding for hardgainers. The book takes a no-nonsense and drug-free approach to bodybuilding that will work for anyone who has been struggling in the gym for little or no gains.

Brawn covers the philosophies you need for training success. There is a section that will outline what kind of results you can expect - in both strength and weight. The book goes into your training cycle, including how to cycle intensity to increase gains and prevent injury. There are example training routines laid out for you to use or to customize. A large section of the book is devoted to nutrition and why nutrition isn't 80% of the formula as many people have been told.
