If you don't know legendary bodybuilder Bill Grant you should. At age 58 Bill still maintains a championship physique worthy of his legendary bodybuilding status. Most people never come close to developing Bill's muscle size, strength, balance and definition. But when you consider Bill has mastered the training and nutrition secrets to not only build such an awesome body, but maintain peak condition for 4 decades, it is no wonder why so many people want to know his secrets. 

Bill commands big bucks for one-on-one training, and that's when he finds time from his hectic schedule to share his valuable knowledge and experience with a select few (which now includes you!). I had the privilege of first meeting Bill this year, at the famous hard-core bodybuilding Diamond Gym in New Jersey. Right from the start it was clear that Bill Grant is "Mr. Bodybuilding". He knows everything it takes to be a champion bodybuilder, and how to apply bodybuilding techniques to building muscle for sports or just to be in the best shape of your life.

What became apparent to me early in our conversation was that Bill is concerned about how too many people are going about weight lifting the wrong way. The solution Bill suggested was to do this series of instructional webcast videos so Bill Grant can demonstrate the workouts for you and share his valuable bodybuilding information with you, just as he would if you were paying him for one-on-one personal training. This is an incredible opportunity, as you will learn the real massive bodybuilding secrets of the pros, in addition to following Bill's customized workouts to take your training to the next level, with Bill as your personal trainer.

Bill Grant's Muscle Building Philosophy - The foundation of Bill's muscle building philosophy is for each individual to determine the balance of intensity-duration-frequency of resistance training workouts that will result in producing the fastest gains in muscle mass and strength. Early in Bill's bodybuilding career he learned that more resistance training is not necessarily better. For example, early in Bill's career he experimented with following different resistance training routines. In fact during these experimental years Bill even trained side-by-side with Arnold Schwarzenegger, training each body part 3 times a week, and training 6 days a week. After just two weeks of using this routine, Bill determined that he needed more time for recovery. So Bill eventually settled in to a 4 day per week training routine. Based on Bill's experience he also determined that most people have the recovery abilities that make this 4 day per week training routine best suited for them; about 70% of the people Bill has worked with over the years.

Bringing You Personalized Training - Periodized Versus Stagnant Routines - In addition to determining the training level of intensity-duration-frequency you can handle, your training routines need to go beyond following the same exercises, sets and reps week after week. In order to get your best results, Bill's webcast workout video lesson series will show you how to periodize your bodybuilding training program for optimum results.

Super-sets Another feature Bill's bodybuilding training program includes is the use of super-sets. Bill maintains that using super-set training allows you to reach higher intensity training levels, getting the most out of your training effort. With super-sets you will also move your workouts along at a quicker pace, and perform more sets in a given period of time.

I really found your old school training really useful and have purchased numerous bottles of your creatine cocktail due to the videos and have really decided to start training because of your videos that you have put up. I would definitely say these were the BEST videos by far on bodybuilding.com. He is the motivation i needed to build big muscles. Well done to Bill Grant and PLEASE make more videos! [ Josh B. ]

You really recharged my training mentally and physically. When you’re natural you need all the righteous weapons and not to enter into the hype of the juiced brothers of the dark side. I am now a student of B.G.’s body machine. You are truly the old school ruff rugged and raw (no belt, no gloves) just train smart and hard.  [ Trooper ]
