I do agree there is more equipment at a gym verses a home gym and I would rather go to a gym verses working out at home ( the whole getting out of the house thing, and the gym has eye candy ) but the only point that I was trying to make is that most people only need the basic's, squats, deadlifts, presses and rows.
I've been on the program for about 8 months now and I put on around 20lbs. It's all about keeping your muscles guessing by constantly switching up your routines. Switch it up every 2-3 weeks.
But the foundation to building mass is your diet. You should be eating 6 times a day (small meals). I learned that if you eat till your full than you won't be able to consume six meals a day, so just eat till your satisfied. Also have a protein shake before you go to sleep and AS SOON as you wake up. Why, because your nutrients stores are low and your body is feeding of your muscle tissue to provide fuel. The longer you go without eating protein after you wake up, the more muscle protein is broken down and converted to glucose, and the more muscle lose.
The program works.

For about 3 years on and off, but I wasn't serious about it nor did I have the knowledge that I have now. On top off that I never managed to see any noticeable gains.
Ive been weight lifting on a consistent basis for about a year now (5 days a week) and I have been on this program for 8 months and the results are showing and this is coming from comments from other people.
