Muscle Explosion: Interview with Nick Nilsson

By on

Muscle Explosion is a unique 28 day muscle building program that I’ve been including in my yearly training since 2008. If you do a Google search for Muscle Explosion you’ll even see my image… linking to a previous website of mine, where I documented my first 28 day experience with the program…

NOTE: As you can see… I’ve been priding myself on being completely transparent for a very long time. It’s incredibly important to me, that you understand I base my recommendations on personal experiences and in depth knowledge of a product… and sincerely believe you will benefit from the product as I have.

If find it very disheartening when I see other fitness professionals recommending products for the sole purpose of making a quick buck.

Muscle Explosion is intense… challenging your muscles with a variety of training protocol.

Because Muscle Explosion is so unique in design and completely different than anything I would have created for myself, it’s a total ‘shock’ to my muscles… and sparks some fear and excitement.

Frankly, I believe Muscle Explosion makes for a great compliment to just about any serious training program you may be following… and would make for a great addition to your yearly training schedule.


In this interview with Muscle Explosion creator, Nick Nilsson… we discus what makes the program unique… and what you can expect from it. about Muscle Explosion: Interview with Nick Nilsson

Aesthetic Muscle Journal April 20th: Ideal Proportions and the Perfect Body

By on

Building aesthetic muscle requires a focus on symmetry and details. It’s the ‘X’ factor, where your upper body is broad in appearance… tapering down to a narrow waist… then sweeping out with impressive thighs.

This holds true for both men and women… after all… when you round off the top and bottom of the ‘X’ it forms an hour glass, which is exactly what many women aim to achieve.

But is there such a thing as a ‘perfect’ physique with ‘ideal’ proportions?


The first time I ever came across the concept of a ‘perfect physique’ with specific measurements to aim for, was in Steve Reeves book, Building The Classic Physique The Natural Way… about Aesthetic Muscle Journal April 20th: Ideal Proportions and the Perfect Body
