Are Vince Delmonte and No Nonsense Muscle Building a SCAM?
Vince Delmonte is a fitness trainer and the co-author (along with Shannon Clark) of the No Nonsense Muscle Building program. There are plenty of reviews on this muscle-building program, some for and some against. If you have been working like a dog in the gym and are still sporting flabby arms and a soft stomach, you may want to read this review on Vince Delmonte to see if he will be a help or hindrance in your muscle building efforts.
First and foremost, when a person writes a book about building muscle, you would hate to find out that the person is a scrawny fellow or worse yet, flabby. I can tell you that Vince Delmonte looks like he knows what he is talking about. Nevertheless, has he done this with his own program or by using steroids or supplements? He is a natural body builder meaning he does not use any sort of steroids, drugs or unnatural supplements (if any at all).
Moreover, he denounces the body building supplement industry by pointing out how so many bodybuilding magazines are owned by supplement companies. They promote their own supplements in the magazines and then fill in the blanks with workouts that are sub par, full of myths and will not do a thing to create six-pack abs or sexy defined muscles on your back.
His book exposes muscle building myths that I have actually fallen prey to! I thought circuit training was a great way to get a toning workout in a short amount of time. Apparently, there is not enough recovery time in between sets and you fail to develop your muscles. That is only one of the MANY myths that I was surprised to learn.
As a woman, I am not very interested in building muscle per say. I just want to be toned, so I have always done high reps with low weights. Vince points out that I am wrong about that too! He points out that progressive overload (continually increasing weights) is the only way you can encourage real muscle growth.
Like I said, I do not want bulging muscles, but I do want noticeable muscles which is what toning and firming is all about. High reps and low weights were creating endurance muscles, which are long and skinny. You have to use progressive overload if you want your arm muscles to look like Sarah Jessica Parker’s sexy, toned arm muscles.
Then there is the advice given on recovery time and how most of us are killing ourselves in the gym for no good reason. Not only do we need recovery time in between sets, but we also need plenty of recovery time in between workouts if we are going to see muscle-building results. Vince lets us know how we can speed up this muscle recovery process.
He also has some very clever advice on proper nutrition (clean eating). Vince has also written some very important motivational techniques and advice on how to get in the groove and stick with the program. It is also a pretty good deal in terms of cost with I believe, eight bonuses? Maybe more.
