Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed Plan ReviewedBy Ed Clements August 2010Please feel free to replublish muscle-health-fitness.com articles. You MUST, however, include the the paragraph marked * at the bottom of this page. Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed is one of the most popular online muscle building programs available.
I bought the eBook package about 5 years ago, when it was called Muscle Building Nutrition, and was impressed. I was interested in seeing what had changed, so I decided to read and review Bodybuilding Revealed. I don’t agree with everything in Will Brink's program but I doubt many people would be disappointed with the amount of material you get for your money! The program is packed full of nutrition and weights training information that will help both beginner and experienced trainers to quickly pack on muscle mass.

Brink, like me, is a fan of compound movements like the squat, dead-lift and bench-press for building muscle. Brink includes solid routines for beginner and intermediate trainers to try out. Bodybuilding Revealed also contains a training section written by renowned strength coach Charles Poliquin! This is great information for more advanced strength trainers. Both Brink and Poliquin recommend training more frequently than I personally feel is optimal for those of us not taking steroids. As I’ve written elsewhere on this website, I’m a big believer in HIT training where you perform heavy, full body sessions but allow yourself more recovery time between workouts i.e. 48 or 72 hours. Its good to vary your routine, however, and Bodybuilding Revealed contains a number of quality workout routines to try. Some points of disagreement:
I agree with Brink that most people won’t experience extra benefits from getting much more than 30 percent of their calories from fat. However, Brink argues that only a third of this fat should be saturated and you should aim to get another third from monounsaturates and the last third from polyunsaturates. This fatty acid balance does not ensure maximum anabolic hormone levels as polyunsaturates actually decrease testosterone levels. My advice for trainers looking to pack on muscle and for people aiming to improve their overall level of health is to keep the levels of polyunsaturated fats in their diet low- these fats disrupt thyroid signalling(1)(2), slow the metabolism, and increase free radical damage which accelerates the aging process (as well as causing other problems).
Eating 6-8 meals a day, spaced out every couple of hours, is an impractical eating pattern for many people that does not offer muscle building benefits over eating the traditional three meals a day as long as enough calories and protein are eaten. It has actually been shown that high quality protein doesn’t need to be eaten more frequently than every five hours for optimal muscle gains(3), and there is evidence to suggest that eating less frequently improves insulin sensitivity by raising adiponectin levels and maintaining proper letpin sensitivity(4). Some athletes have actually made impressive body composition improvements by completely ditching frequent eating and adopting an intermittent fasting eating pattern. Finally... If you’re looking for an easy to follow guide explaining how to build muscle mass, there aren’t many better programs out there than Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed. The diet tracking tools included with the program are useful for making absolutely sure that you’re getting enough calories and protein each day and the forums are an excellent resource to exploit if you’re looking to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind building muscle. The program does, unfortunately, perpetuate some slightly old-fashioned bodybuilding ideas such as the idea that you need to eat every couple of hours to build muscle and that you need to avoid foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol to keep your heart healthy when, in fact, these foods help to keep your testosterone levels high. Overall, I would recommend beginner and intermediate level trainers grab a copy of Brink’s Bodybuilding Revealed and take advantage of tools such as the diet planner and the forums. The program also contains sections such as the supplement reviews section and the section on training by Charles Poliquin that will be of great interest to more experienced trainers. * Ed Clements, creator of muscle-health-fitness.com, is an independent health and fitness writer who specialises in dietary, supplementation and weights training advice for improving body composition and hormone balance.
