ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi,
I’m Mike and I’ve been training for nearly a decade now.
I believe that every person can achieve the body of his or her dreams,
and I work hard to give everyone that chance by providing workable,
proven advice grounded in science, not a desire to sell phony magazines,
workout products, or supplements.
Through my work, I’ve helped thousands of people achieve their
health and fitness goals, and I share everything I know in my books.
So if you’re looking to get in shape and look great, then I think I can
help you. I hope you enjoy my books and I’d love to hear from you at my
site, www.buildhealthymuscle.com.
Sincerely,
Mike
