Sorry for the break, we’ve been incredibly busy! Between the site redesign, building the coaching sub-site, setting up the new subscription site for athletes, and getting ready to roll out the new Size or Shred program, it’s an amazing time for Breaking Muscle and our readers.
As many of you know, Dr. John Rusin and Kalli Youngstrom have been coaching in our forum for the past couple of months. The reader response has been fantastic, so we asked John and Kalli to create a new, complete program especially for Breaking Muscle readers.
What they came up with is beyond what we could have hoped for and will be the first-ever private coaching program on Breaking Muscle, a functional hypertrophy and fat loss program focused on pain-free training and healthful eating.
Click here for more information or download the free More Muscle, Less Fat ebook that includes Dr. Rusin’s first Breaking Muscle program plus thirty pages of training and nutrition guidance.
