about this book

Provocatively written yet grounded in science, Unlock Your Muscle Gene is a revolutionary guide to physical transformation for anyone seeking the latest information on muscle conditioning, weight loss, and anti-aging strategies. According to Ori Hofmekler, human fitness is a well-defined system rooted in our biology and programmed in our genes. We all possess the genes that retain and develop muscle and extend our lives, but we need to unleash this innate program that transforms pain to power, weakness to strength, and sickness to health.

Hofmekler exposes the false theories behind modern fitness, presents the actual biological principles upon which human diet and training should be based, and shows us how to trigger the mechanisms that make our bodies thrive. He also details how to combine foods; the right meal timing and meal size; why we need to separate AM foods and PM foods; the ideal fuel to prevent “hitting the wall”; how long and how often to train; and whether we can develop a super-muscle fiber hybrid that can outperform any other fiber type.
