This episodes guest is Nick"The Mad Scientist of Muscle" Nilsson of madscientistofmuscle.com and of fitstep.com.
For more than 25 years, Nick has been creating unique, new exercises and training techniques and putting together some of the most innovative muscle-building and fat-loss programs available anywhere.
To create these unique programs and exercises, Nick puts to work his degree in Physical Education, covering advanced biomechanics, kinesiology, anatomy and physiology. When you put his exercises and programs to work, you'll immediately see and feel exactly how this combination of science, practical knowledge, thinking outside the box and just a little bit of insanity really mesh together to maximize every aspect of your training.
Nick began his training career in high school as a 145 lb cross-country runner (and ectomorph), looking to build muscle and get bigger. Today, putting to work all the unique techniques and exercises he has come up, Nick weighs in at a rock-solid 200 lbs and single digit bodyfat.
These days, he uses his experience as a former skinny guy to help others build the bodies of their dreams, whether it be building muscle, losing fat or both. He has helped literally thousands of people accomplish their goals and achieve results above and beyond the reach of more traditional programs.
In addition to being published in a variety of magazines (like Ironman, Muscle & Fitness, Maxim) and thousands of training websites across the Internet, Nick is also the author of more than 20 bodybuilding books including: Metabolic Monsters, Muscle Explosion – 28 Days to Maximum Mass, Metabolic Surge – Rapid Fat Loss and The Best Exercises You’ve Never Heard Of series.
For more information about Nick’s unique training methods and how they can help you build muscle, get ripped and crush exercise boredom forever, visit madscientistofmuscle.com and fitstep.com.
