"As an 85-year-old retired cardiologist who has been working out for over 60 years, I discovered new ways to improve my arm routine with Dr. Gains’ Hypertrophy Series Biceps and Triceps program.  Learning more about supination was particularly useful. With his help, and using fewer sets than when I was younger, I seem to be winning my ongoing battle with sarcopenia, and hope to incorporate even more of Michael's ideas into my routines!"

"I’ve been involved in sports and weightlifting my entire life. I played football in high school and college, and I coached high school football for five years and college football for twenty-five years. I’ve worked in the weight room with these athletes for 30 years. I also did wrestling, the field side of track and field, baseball, and basketball. I have also had both of my shoulders completely replaced, so was always looking for a rehab-type program for my shoulders. What I found in the Gains Without Pains Shoulder Program is a program that not only has put over a inch width on both my shoulders, but has also made it possible to sleep without pain, increased my strength tremendously, and given me hope for the rest of my joints!

As I said I worked in our collegiate weight room for many hours and watched some of the best athletes in the country lift for hours, most of the time not getting the benefit of a program that strengthens the joint, increases flexibility and actually gives a sense of accomplishment. In this program you will learn how the muscles of the shoulder girdle work, and how the joint functions. You will learn tremendous shoulder stretch techniques and gain a great amount of flexibility!

I highly recommend this program and all of the Dr. Gains programs! Michael is truly an expert and if you listen and follow his programs you will be satisfied and strong!"

"The Dr-Gains programs have been the most impressive approach to building and maintaining muscle growth that I've experienced.  I have been doing the Hypertrophy Series Total Chest, Back and Biceps & Triceps programs throughout each week and have noticed a significant difference in both muscle definition and overall strength. Wife is thrilled, and my friends have all noticed a difference as well.

In fact I've started the Back and Chest routine for a second time. Doing it for the second time has really allowed me to jump into the exercises more.  Both heavier (from 50 lbs for DB bench for multiple reps to 80 lbs) and with more confidence in proper form.  It likely took me the second time to "get it."  Understanding what Michael is trying to achieve with each exercise and how they relate to one another.  Opposing muscle groups, successive muscle groups but attempting different movements to target failure, using all parts of each muscle group, using different techniques to target the muscles, etc. The second time around has been more successful as I can focus on correct form, adding weight, less downtime between reps, etc. Can't wait to start working on new Programs!"  

  However, I will recommend watching the videos carefully before each training session (which can be tough while in the gym).

Anyway the results have been, great. Very happy with how this is catapulted me forward, even though I don't have a specific goal in mind. I don't have before pictures, so it's hard to compare, but I was tall (6'4"), slightly out of shape, but trim.  I'm now much more defined in my shoulders, back, chest and arms.  Staying right at 200lbs., but trading fat for muscle, and trimmer in my waist 31-32 from 33-34.  Eating has never been an issue for me, but I have upped my protein quite a bit.  I just turned 49.  Looking forward to other programs as they come available!"

"Michael Kamalu's programs are incredibly complete and expertly done both for the novice and the advanced lifter. This is my 6th year lifting and at 65, I've never felt my muscles work as much as with his programs. I couldn't be more impressed and satisfied. I pay close attention to detail and his programs are unlike any other program I've seen or experienced. They will give you the best workout at any price, I couldn't recommend his programs more highly. If you're middle-aged or older, stay out of the "old folks home" by staying strong! You'll live a better quality and more fulfilling life as you age. There is no downside to strength. Don't wait or procrastinate. Crank up the "feel-good" brain chemicals and begin today!"

"For those of you who might be on the fence about subscribing to the Dr. Gains premium membership, believe me when I say you are FOOLISH if you do not subscribe! I originally signed on month to month and recently switched to an annual membership.

No matter what your age or ability level is, if your goal in life is to be healthy and fit then starting a subscription with Dr. Gains is a must. These individual programs are built to isolate and help us sustain this staying fit process. I tell people that being fit is a lifestyle and I personally have done my best my entire life. However, Dr. Gains takes us to a new and different level of understanding. His efforts to build these programs for all of us has to be a tireless one.  It shows how dedicated he is.

Listen! You do not need alot of equipment. I do everything with free weights, bands, an adjustable bench and a door that opens and closes. When you get into it you'll figure out what else.  So do not be discouraged by that. If you do nothing else with $79 dollars per month, subscribe to the Dr. Gains premium membership. It is going to transform your mind and your body.  Dr. Gains is going to be with me for a very long time. And remember this also... curate what you consume!"

"Michael's [exercise content] is particularly dominant in terms of its innovation, uniqueness, and focus on a science-backed philosophy, particularly anatomy and kinesiology, showing WHY a particular exercise is "best", explaining angles, stress, intensity, etc. I've always been a huge fan of this type of thinking (i.e. work smarter not harder). I love that I can learn and understand exactly why I am performing a certain exercise and why it is necessary, since I feel it allows me to unlock the fundamental strength each individual muscle possesses. Keep up the great work!"

"I have worked out for over 25 years, yet I learned an incredible amount of knowledge, techniques, new exercises and tips on injury prevention through the Dr. Gains [content]. With the new exercises I can really feel they're working different spots than I have ever worked before. Michael's attention to detail and the ease in following each exercise through his thorough explanations and detailed demonstrations allow me to [work out] with confidence. The [content] is not only fun, but pushes me to build my strength and bring my gains to a new level. I continue to use all of the new exercises I've learned along the way and am excited to see where it will take me yet. I HIGHLY recommend and appreciate the time and effort Michael Kamalu has put into providing this top notch [content]!"

"As a NASM Certified Personal Trainer I have found the Dr. Gains [content] to be truly amazing. There are a lot of "fitness gurus" out there, but I believe he is far above them all! What I think sets Dr. Gains above the rest is one, the variety of exercises provided per muscle group. You will never get bored or lack for variety. Let’s face it, doing the same ole routine can and does get boring. Not with this [content]! Second, I find the science behind the movements that he teaches and explaining exactly what muscle group each exercise works, and why it works, to be extremely beneficial. I have always wanted someone to explain this and he does just that. You will not be disappointed in trying and using this [content]!!"

"Shoulders had long been an area where I felt at a loss—I knew I needed to train them, but there is such a dearth of good info and programs for shoulders that most of what I did for years was limited to some meager sets of lateral raises or overhead presses here and there. Understandably, I had never had significant results in this area. When I came across Michael's content, and saw the careful thought he put into crafting it, I immediately knew I had to give it a try. It was exactly what I needed! By following his clear, well-explained (and fun!) exercises and techniques, I have been able to make progress with my shoulders that I had never seen before. More than this, it has been the single most effective workout program I have EVER tried for ANY muscle group, and I've tried many! In a matter of weeks I have made noticeable gains in strength and mass that I didn't think I could achieve. I am now trying out some of his other programs. All I can say is, thank you Michael for your amazing work, and reader—sign up now! It is worth every penny."
