About
Nick Nilsson
That's me! So you know
more about where I'm coming from on this site, I wanted to give
a little background about myself. I've got the knowledge and experience
to back up EVERYTHING I'm saying on this site.
I've been weight training
for more than 20 years, been a personal trainer for 11 years,
a professional fitness writer for 9 years (published in Men's
Fitness, Reps Magazine, Muscle & Fitness and on hundreds of
websites) and I've got a degree in Physical Education, covering
advanced biomechanics, physiology and kinesiology.
I've published 9 weight
training books:
As a trainer, I've
worked with everyone from complete beginners to professional athletes
and even collegiate strength coaches. My favorite people to work
with have always been the ones who get totally fired up when I
show them things they've NEVER seen before. THAT is what I really
enjoy and THAT is why I put together this site.
You see, for all my
20 years in the gym, I've been training with a purpose...
That purpose has been
to come up with new and more effective training ideas every
single time I was in the gym. And you know what? In 20 years,
I've come up with something in almost every single workout
I've done.
It's what keeps me
training hard and having fun every time I set foot in the gym!
These
are two pictures of me below...I'm actually a natural ectomorph
(which means skinny!), so you can imagine the kind of training
(and eating!) it took to get this point. When I started weight
training, I was a cross-country runner and weighed all of 140
lbs soaking wet. No exagerration. I've had to train HARD to get
to this point. And you know what? You can learn the MOST from
someone who's had to fight for every once of muscle they've put
on.
And now I want to
teach you ALL the training secrets that I use every day to
build muscle, burn fat and develop brute strength.
Below is a sample of
a few of my best lifts (at a bodyweight of around 200 pounds or
so). I'm not listing these numbers here to toot my own horn. I
want to show you EXACTLY the kind of progress you can make with
the knowledge I have to share with you. And I'm 100% natural
(no steroids ever)!
