Before we get into "X" physique producing goodness and stubborn body
fat slicing salvation, think about this

Somewhere in Africa, a lion sits in the wild.

He wakes up to unknown food rations, unknown weather patterns, and
unknown dangers. Yet he's bold enough to handle his own life. His
survival is his responsibility, and his responsibility alone.

Somewhere in a zoo, a lion sits in a cage.

He's given food, given shelter, and given a safeguard from danger.
He's but a pawn, and not responsible for his life.

Both of these creatures are lions.

Only one is king.

They're made up of the same anatomical "stuff," but each lives
differently. Each has a different outlook and attitude.

You're in a cage of your own.

Created from a combination of genetics and environment that spat out
an ever-so unique skinny-fat build. Thin wrists. Chunky love handles.
Moobs. No muscles. Narrow shoulders.

Do you want to to set yourself free of your cage?

Perhaps lose the stubborn body fat? Perhaps build an "X" physique?
Perhaps stop the stretch marks from further amassing?

You need a special key to unlock your unique cage.

You're already at a crossroad. You're skinny. You're fat. Should you
gain muscle? Should you lose fat? Does it matter what happens first?
(Hint: Yes, it matters. And it matters more than you can you imagine.)


You can't play by normal "skinny-guy" or normal "fat-guy" rules.

You need _skinny-fat_ rules. Sure, you’re a hardgainer of muscle.
But you're an easy gainer of fat. Your body is unlike any other. Yet
no one talks about it. Everyone ignores it. (Because they don't know
about it.)

You need something for a skinny-fat sufferer, that's also created
from the hands of a skinny-fat sufferer.

Someone that understands you. Someone that understands your cage.
Someone that understands skinny-fat purgatory: turning one way to cut,
losing all muscle (it's hard enough to build as is); turning the other
way to bulk, gaining nothing but fat. Someone that understands the
need to build an "X" physique to combat years of living out of
proportion.

Someone that knows the insanity of skinny-fat physiology, so that you
don't end up WORSE than you already are.

An unguided skinny-fat sufferer's muscle building adventure will turn
into fat gaining failure because extra calories are more likely to
inflate fat cells. (This is called nutrient partitioning, something
I'll come back to soon.) You're soon to sport a muffin top and a pair
of arms not fit for a five year old.

Fat cells are nasty buggers. Once created, they take a while to
"die." They deflate. But they're always sitting around. Hungry to be
refilled. Yet if you try losing fat, you end up losing muscle. This is
purgatory, and why skinny-fatness is the worst body type out there.
(And why it needs special care.)

I know because I've been there.

Gaining muscle is tough. You have standard skinny-dude genetics. But
you also ate your way into a fat environment. So you no longer follow
the typical "shove everything in your mouth" skinny guy rules. And if
you do, you're just going to get fat.

I share your scars.

My name is Anthony Mychal. I've written for Schwarzenegger.com,
T-Nation, Elite FTS, STACK, LIVESTRONG.com, My Mad Methods, and The
Greatist. But before any of that, I was right where you are. I was
told I had girl boobs in high school. I bulked. I cut. (Many times
over, to boot.) Skinny-fat syndrome is an emotional memory, which is
why I've been writing about it for over a year on my blog and other
websites. That's me above. Stretch marks on my lower back. Wide hips,
even with a low body fat.

(Yes, I had the chance to write for Arnold Schwarzenegger's personal
website, and I choose to write about skinny-fat syndrome.)

That should tell you all you need to know. (Well, that and that I
have a perpetual love for Dragon Ball Z, and I think watching Goku
turn Super Saiyan changed my life.)

Your mind is swimming with ideas. It has to be. I know mine was.

There's simply too much out there. P90X. Pilates. Bulking. Cutting.
This method. That method. This gidget. That gadget. It's overload. And
sadly, most of it doesn't work for us. I fell for the instant ab
solutions when I was younger. (I even had one of those
electrostimulation ab belts -- one of my most embarrassing secrets.)

Don't make the same mistakes I made.

If this means as much to you as it did to me, you can't waste any
second of your time -- or dollar from your wallet -- on something that
sends you BACKWARDS in progress.

There's just one question you need to ask yourself.

What's out there that's not only _specifically _ designed for a
skinny-fat sufferer, but also _by_ an honest skinny-fat sufferer?

I know you.

I know your ultra low carb experiment zapped away your muscle. I know
P90X didn't put on the muscle you wanted it to. I know your bulks left
you with more fat than muscle. I know because I've been there. I know
because there's simply MORE to a caged lion being released back into
the wild. It takes full physiological disruption. It's not just a
training program. It's not just a diet. Focusing solely on either is
SUICIDE. I share the scars, but I HAVE made progress that I'm damn
proud of. (Yes, me in the pictures again. Not some paid "stand in"
model.)

It's your physiology that's embarrassing, not your body.

Why do you think your previous fixes have failed? It's more than a
program or a routine. It's a complete rewiring. It's a lifestyle. From
sleeping to eating to training to how you interact with people. It's
all about altering physiology -- that's the "magic sauce." Ever get
stuck in traffic? Your heart rate skyrockets. That's what I'm talking
about. Harness that kind of power, and you'll be successful.

So if you're ready to fix your physiology, if you're ready to feel
human again, I have something you're going to be interested in.

I know skinny-fat syndrome better than anyone, which is what
motivated me to create _THE SKINNY-FAT SOLUTION_. Not only was _THE
SKINNY-FAT SOLUTION_ created from the hands of a skinny-fat sufferer,
but I spent months working, tweaking, and crafting it with fellow
skinny-fat sufferers to create an absolutely perfect solution for you.


It's not _just_ learning how to train. It's about LIFE. And that’s
why _THE SKINNY-FAT SOLUTION_ covers all angles, and possible
drawbacks. It CAN'T be any other way. You need to think differently.
You need to train differently. You need to move differently. You need
to eat differently.

So you have a choice right now.

You can stay in your cage. Or you can become king.

I'm an actual skinny-fat sufferer. I live with the scars - the
stretch marks of my past, the propensity to gain fat. But I know how
to beat it, and I'd love nothing more than to help you do the same. I
want you to stop growing the stretch marks before they become
permanent. I want you to stop putting on stubborn body fat that
plagues muscle building adventures (and even just your life) for years
to come. I want you to build an "X" physique.

I never left home without wearing an undershirt.

I was embarrassed of my body's shape. I spent the money on
supplements that were supposed to fix me. I bought the instant ab
solutions that were supposed to make me ripped. I don't want you do
make the same mistakes. I want you to avoid all of that anguish, so
that you can focus on things that actually work. So that you can stomp
on stretch marks and stubborn body fat. So that you can gain muscle,
get the body you've always wanted, and live a happier, more fulfilling
life.

The question ISN'T if you have what it takes, it's how much time
you're going to waste -- how big of a hole you're going to dig for
yourself.

It's no coincidence that you've made it this far. You have what it
takes. But the more important matter at hand: not getting lost in the
thicket so that you can start making progress NOW. Every day of moving
in the opposite direction carries potential irreversible damage.

I had what it took to "make it." But it took me six years to find my
way. That's a lot of time wasted. A lot of fat cells and stretch marks
created. A lot of muscle wasted. A lot of damage that could have been
prevented.

If you want to stop wasting time, you need to check out _THE
SKINNY-FAT SOLUTION_. Here's what's inside:

;

THE SOLUTION AND LIFESTYLE GUIDE gives you an overview of why you're
skinny-fat: the unique conglomeration of catastrophes that spat out
the physiology of a menopausal female. You'll learn how lifestyle
impacts your internal workings, and how you're making yourself more
skinny-fat with something as silly as your commute to work, and
general approach to the world.

THE NUTRITION FUNDAMENTAL GUIDE will have you looking at nutrients in
a way a casual Google search could never teach you. It gives you the
nutrition basics you need in order to make any meaningful body
composition strides. It also gives an "all too easy" way to approach
complicated nutrition methods, such as carbohydrate cycling. (I can't
believe it's not butter kind of easy)

THE X PHYSIQUE TRAINING PRIMER lights the philosophical pathway for
training. It lets you know what methods work and also _why_ the
program is structured the way it is. If, down the line, you want to
branch into a different training focus, the primer would give you the
information you need to make that happen without feeling lost in a sea
of randomness. It's a general overview of applying the Great Eight
exercises for the X Physique (with the addition of a few extras
knowing the concerns specific for a skinny-fat sufferer) into a
training program.

THE X PHYSIQUE TRAINING PROGRAM shows you different templates for the
Great Eight (+4 extra) exercises for the X Physique. It fills in any
gaps you'd have (after reading the primer) and gives examples to make
sure you have more than enough to get on your way. You won't have to
spend hours deciphering things. Maybe you're already at the level
where you can do weighted chins? Don't worry. Got you covered. Sample
week to give you an idea of how the program would play out? Covered.
Cool little tables to make things easy to understand? You bet.

THE LIFESTYLE KITCHEN HACKS RESOURCE is the secret sauce behind
maintaining a lifestyle needed for body composition changes. It's the
stuff no one talks about, yet everyone does behind the scenes. How do
you deal with nutrition habits at work? How do you deal with changing
without de-friending your friends? How do you cook food in a time
efficient way? How do you *gasp* _enjoy_ eating vegetables? What
spices make food taste good? Why is cheese the greatest thing in the
world? (OK, so I don't exactly tackle that last issue, but I'll admit
to the premise of it.)

;

THE DISSECTING THE GREAT EIGHT GUIDE goes technically in depth with
every exercise. Lacking squat mobility? Covered. Curls hurt your
elbows? Covered. Rounding your back during deadlifts? Covered. It
provides fixes and alternatives for every complex-technical exercise
programmed, _and_ provides videos for examples of what "heavy" sets of
what each exercise looks like. No more mamby-pamby, "Here's great form
-- do this ! -- even though I'm using three pounds!"

THE STUBBORN FAT LOSS GUIDE is for those that are at the cusp of
getting a six pack, yet hindered by a little "pouch" on their lower
abs. It will make sure you don't go into a calorie deprived crush diet
that takes your muscles away from you. The secret sauce isn't in the
training. Oh, don't worry. There's a specific stubborn fat loss
training program. But the real secret? _The nervous system._

THE PERFECTING THE PULL-UP MANUAL will ensure you're doing pull-ups
right from start to finish. The best part? If you can't do one yet,
there's a safe and sound progress for you. I told you that you
wouldn't have to be scouring for loose giblets online. Every angle is
covered.

THE LEVELING UP THE UPPER CHEST GUIDE shows you how to incline bench
press (one of the Great Eight) in a way best suited for the upper
chest development AND shoulder health. It also details the _most
underrated_ push-up variation that no one talks about. (Probably
because they don't know about it.) And the best part? It's one of the
best upper chest exercises you can do -- no special equipment
required. I call it, "The Last Push-Up Variation You'll Ever Need,"
because, wellit's the last push-up variation you'll ever need.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

;

Anthony Mychal is one of the few people whose advice I trust
implicitly, and it wouldn't be hyperbolic to say his teaching has
changed my life.

As a former skinny-fat (physically, at least!) looking to add muscle
after reaching my solid base, his articles, and the TSFS / Chaos Bulk
resources in particular, address my situation perfectly. He doesn't
just prescribe boilerplate sets of lifts, but also tackles the
nutrition; lifestyle; and, importantly, the psychological baggage that
comes with this body type.

I was lucky enough to jump on the Skinny-Fat Solution charter group
membership, and being part of the Skinny Fat Solution coaching group
has allowed me a privileged position where Anthony is on hand to offer
advice and answer students' specific questions and concerns. He is
always exceptionally supportive, celebrating our achievements with us,
without being afraid to dish out a bit of "tough love" where necessary
(something I've benefited from on more than one occasion!).

In short, I am proud to call him my mentor, and hope to be able to do
so for many years to come.

Dajve Green

The "before" pictures here were taken before I found Anthony. I was
able to lose some fat with "traditional" bodybuilding methods --
frequent meals, no alcohol, etc. But I spent years bulking and
cutting, only to get no where. It was SO frustrating.

Enter Anthony and his abundance of Skinny-Fat information, and I was
able to stay stay pretty lean, gain strength, and gain muscle. I
FINALLY feel like I'm making real progress, and Anthony has BY FAR
been the biggest positive influence in that regard.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention one more BIG thing. I was one of the
biggest offenders of program hopping. There are soooo many resources
out there, that are so different, and claim to be the best. I think I
tried everything under the sun!
Once I adopted Anthony's policy to stick to a program, practice the
Great Eight, and gauge my progressthings started to click!

Mike Gage

Years ago, when I started training, everything I did was more or less
the exact opposite of what Anthony teaches. In the few years I had
been training I only made small gains relative to how much effort,
time and energy I was pumping into my workouts! Before long my skinny
fat body was only ever so slightly more muscular and a hell of a lot
fatter. This drove me to quit working out and just giving up.

I was out of the gym for close on 4 years and had become very
overweight, very weak and very very unhappy. I decided enough was
enough. Doing some research lead me to a number of websites, Anthony's
being one of them. I instantly enjoyed reading his articles and the
theory made sense to me. Before too long I was pumped to get started
again.

I implemented his eating style, his diet tips and his training
protocols. Now, a year later, I'm down 65 lbs, about 3 times stronger
then when I started, and much much happier. Anthony's help and
teachings are a huge part of what got me to where I am now, and his
helpful nature was very greatly appreciated.

Anthony is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure to
talk with. He is a seriously knowledgeable man in this field and is
more then happy to share it with everyone. Even if you have a specific
question and email him looking for help, he will reply. This is
something that is very rare in this industry, even for "Personal"
trainers that you meet in person.

I owe so much to what he has thought me, its changed my life forever.
I have no doubt that he can do the same for you.

Shane Carberry

I used to be your classic skinny-fat ectomorph. My body composition
was born from too many video games and too little physical
activity—a lifestyle that also caused debilitating back pain for me
as a teenager. I was called names. Teased. I wasn’t comfortable in
my own skin. I didn’t enjoy the way I looked.

At the end of 2008, I started exercising regularly. Training was
usually three days per week with an hour of aerobic work thrown in.
This exercise alone (without dietary considerations) helped with both
weight loss and my back pain. But like most people, I fell into the
trap of “bulking.” I got thicker, but my muscles didn’t exactly
come along for the ride. Bulking didn’t go as planned.

In 2011, I fully bought into what Anthony preached, which turned out
being a great decision because it worked. I started looking lean and
athletic. My body felt better day by day and I lost 15kg in a
relatively short time period. Every exercise I did improved. My
pull-ups (that Anthony puts such high praise on) went from 3-4 reps
per set to 11 reps per set.

All in all, Anthony’s perspective, and Anthony’s website helped
me create not only a better body, but also a better life. I look and
feel better than I ever have before.

Johannes Dee

It’s only a small exaggeration to say that Anthony saved my life
because I really didn’t have much of one before. My entire life
revolved around training. Working out was negatively impacting my life
as it had put a strain on my finances (food, memberships, supplements
etc.), my relationships with friends and family (go grab a pint? no
way!), and my career because all my time and mental focus was being
spent on this obsession.

But even with all of that sacrifice, I made very little noticeable
gains. Everyone else worked out moderately, never followed any
specific diet, and yet they were all in way better shape than me. I
tried all of their routines but they didn’t work. I did every fad
diet and internet program which just entered me into a cycle of
constant failure and frustration. When I began working with personal
trainers they attributed my lack of progress to not dieting strictly
enough, not enough supplements, or that I was wasn’t pushing myself,
or trying hard enough. Wrong.

I found that a problem with a lot of trainers is that many of them
have been in shape their whole lives, and believe that those who are
out of shape are lazy and make poor diet choices. If you have found
your way here, chances are that this does not describe you. Most
trainers don’t believe in body types, have no clue about
frustration, failure, and the emotional weight of being embarrassed
about your body.

What makes Anthony different from all the other trainers out there is
that he can empathize with the skinny-fat ectomorph because he has
walked in our shoes. He recognizes our struggle and truly understands
what we are trying to achieve. His guidance has been both motivational
and inspirational to me. The main thing that I think gives him an edge
over everyone else is experience. He has been working with his own
stubborn body his whole life. Not only has he figured it out for
himself but he has helped many others in the same situation. This
makes the likelihood of his methods working for you much greater as a
good chunk of the guess work has been done. He acknowledges that we
must train differently than the average person, and has solutions for
our bodies’ stubborn nature.

I’ve learned about the mental aspect of training, which is often
forgotten, and it has been beneficial not only to my training but in
other areas of my life too. Our bodies react to stress, both physical
and mental, in a different manor than the rest of the world. I still
train hard and consistently but I never exceed what my body or my mind
can take.

My results are that I am the best physical shape that I have ever
been in. I have the lowest body fat percentage ever, greatest
definition, increased flexibility, and increased aerobic endurance. I
look great, feel great, and am comfortable with my shirt off. I train
in a way that has become my lifestyle which means that it’s all
uphill from here. I’ve finally found a method of training that is
giving me real and noticeable results. I got my life back and I got
the confidence that I always wanted.

Greg Keyes

I'm not sure whether I'll be able to fully change my body composition
the way I want. But one thing I know for sure - following Anthony's
advice has changed my life! It's much simpler, healthier and relaxed,
at least in terms of training and nutrition.

I used to change workout programs and nutrition strategy every 2-3
months. I was spending hundreds of hours studying all that was
available about how to lose fat and gain muscles. I always hoped that
next program would be the one. It all just made me hopeless.

Anthony is not a businessmen. He's not like most of other experts who
have done big internet business in fitness. I don't have anything
against it. But this guy really wants to help people, without having
any kind of financial benefit for sharing his knowledge, wisdom and
advice.

As former skinny-fat ectomorph there is no better person to teach by
his own experience. Besides he knows a lot about the athleticism in
general. Also, very important, he is gifted to transfer his knowledge
in so simple and practical way that anyone can understand and
immediately apply.

Finally, I know exactly what I do and why I do that particular
exercise, why I do that many sets and reps, why I eat what I eat and
when I eat It's that simple! I just regret there was no "Anthony" some
15 years ago.

Bojan Vuina

I am excited to tell you since discovering Anthony Mychal I have
found the required faith that I can reach my goals. Seeing the proof
with Anthony's transformation I now know that I too can build a more
muscular body. I have been primarily on the skinny side of Skinny Fat
for all my life. I am now following Anthony's recommendations found on
his blog, The Skinny Fat Solution and Chaos Bulk programs. Today I am
making gains not seen after over a dozen years of lifting weights.
Even after religiously following another popular skinny guy 5 x 5
program for a frustrating few years. I have learned that pull-up are
vital and I need to do bicep curls in order to reach my goals. I
highly endorse Anthony's recommendations and his products.

Gary Frank

Ant’s approach to strength, conditioning and nutrition is unique in
that he has taken the logic and common sense of some of the best in
the game and applied his own experiences and knowledge to create
systems and ideas tailored towards those of us from a genetically
disadvantaged background. On a personal level, Ant’s writing and
guidance has finally got my training and nutrition moving forward
after years of spinning my wheels. I look better than ever before, and
although I have a long way to go to reach my physique and strength
goals, I know that Ant’s guidance will help get me there. His ideas
just make a lot of sense, and he presents them in such a way so as to
make the seemingly complex easy to understand. He is also
conscientious; on many occasions I have pestered him with mundane,
interesting or challenging questions, and I have always received a
reply. His products deliver great value for money, and if you have a
question, he will answer it. What more could you want?!

Toby Griffiths

I had two big problems with my body. First, I didn't like it. Second,
I had lower back pain. Sitting in a chair all day really takes it's
toll. I thought I was helpless.

Then I found Anthony's blog, and read The Skinny Fat Solution.
Everything that Anthony teaches with The Skinny-Fat Solution helped
me so much, the exercises, the nutrition guide, and even down to the
way of life that he proposes.

Now I'm not only free from back pain, but I'm also happier with my
body. It's a journey and I'm just starting, but I can already tell
that it will be a sweet ride. I'm stronger than I've ever been, and I
only look forward to the future. There are a lot of fitness guys who
teach how to train. Only a few teach how to train in a healthy manner.
And not many have the empathy of Anthony.

No-Ass-to-Risk Guarantee Continued

Let's start back from the top: My No Ass-to-Risk Guarantee is in

First, your satisfaction is my guarantee. You may return this product

Second, the training program makes use of barbell training. There is
no alternative program, because I don't compromise my stones (what I
feel works best) to appease others. In order to introduce those
unfamiliar, I created the "Dissecting the Great Eight," "Perfecting
the Pull-up," and "Leveling Up the Upper Chest" guides to _truly_ turn
over everything I program. It's fully comprehensive.

The nutrition protocol makes use of intermittent fasting, which is
going for prolonged times without food. The best way to think of
intermittent fasting: it's a nutrition strategy that has you skip
breakfast and eat lighter through out the day.

In regard to typical results, I always give the same disclaimer with
any digital product: One of two things will happen when you buy my
products. Either A: You might buy it and never use it. You might even
return it because you’re too lazy to use it, read it, or value
what’s inside. Or B: you’ll get it, follow through with the plan,
learn something new about yourself, and see the resultant knowledge
shine through with improvements in your body or life. Things with the
body take hard work. If you’re willing to chip in your share you
won’t be disappointed.
