How to Gain 34lbs of Muscle in 4 Weeks
Tim Ferriss has another motivating post about how to gain a massive amount of muscle in a short period of time. It is almost too big a change to believe, but I’ll let you be the judge.
What’s the most weight (muscle or fat!) that you’ve gained in a single month?
For me: +10lbs. Back in 1998, after school let out for the summer, I had an internship in NYC. I went from running, swimming and biking a ton, to just lifting a ton (and eating a ton) and not doing much else. The weight came on pretty easily. After the first month, I gained about 2 pounds each of the remaining 2 months.
During my 12-week challenge last year, I managed to gain +10lbs of lean muscle in 12 weeks.
Gaining 34lbs in 4 weeks is crazy. Even 1/4 that gain would be tough. The kicker is, Tim did it while training only 8 hours a week! I need to learn that technique.

Hey there, scam or not, I am going to give it a try!
I did my first workout using this method yesterday. It felt great. I have also cleaned up my diet and am eating more high quality (high protein) calories.
We’ll see how this experiment goes!
I will say, though, that when I was in college, our varsity athletes all trained using the principles that Tim Ferriss is referring to….one-set of 6-8 exercises to failure, using a slow rep count.
They were some of biggest/strongest folks I have ever seen.
If it worked for them, I hope it would work for me.
I’ll be blogging my progress.

I say it’s BS. The guy is probably gonna start selling some ebooks or come up with some other scam.
