This episode is one of the chapters of the new second edition of my bestselling book for experienced weightlifters,Beyond Bigger Leaner Stronger, which is live now at www.bblsbook.com.

And better yet, you’ll do it without following restrictive or exotic diets, putting in long hours at the gym, or doing crushing workouts that leave you aching from tip to tail.

Also, to celebrate this momentous occasion, I’m giving away over $6,000 of glorious goodies, including . . .

  • 30-minute Zoom call with yours unruly
  • Vitamix blender
  • WHOOP fitness tracker
  • $200 Lululemon gift card
  • One month of Legion VIP coaching
  • Inzer weightlifting belt
  • And much more . . .

All you have to do for a chance to win is…

  1. Head over to bblsbook.com, and buy a copy of BBLS 2.0(any format)

. . . and voila, you’re entered in the giveaway.

You have to act fast, though, because the launch bonanza ends and the winners will be chosen on October 16th.

You can also increase your chances of winning by buying extra copies of the book (any formats). Specifically . . .

  • If you buy 3 copies, you’ll get 5 giveaway entries (+400% chance to win).

And what are you going to do with extra books, you’re wondering?

You could give them to your workout buddies, donate them to your local library, hurl them at unpleasant children, I don’t know—there are so many options when you think about it.
