Why do so many people have skinny arms, stomach fat, man boobs, women’s thighs and a double chin? What’s the missing ingredient that prevents most people from successfully building muscle and losing fat?
- It’s Not Nutrition. You must eat healthy to achieve a low body fat. But you know diets work better when combined with exercising.
- It’s Also Not Cardio. Long distance running burns fat. However it doesn’t build muscle. Look at the physique of marathon runners.
- And it’s Absolutely Not Supplements. People like Eugene Sandow built muscular physiques in the 19th Century … before supplements existed.
It’s none of that. The missing ingredient is what your great grandparents did to stay fit. Manual labour. Activities that strengthen your whole body.
Strength Training.
The stronger you are, the more muscle you’ll have. Muscle burn more calories than fat. More muscle means more calories burned. The key to building muscle and losing fat is strength training. And it’s very efficient at doing so.

Quotes from StrongLifts.com Readers
“I subscribed to the RSS feed and downloaded the eBook. I was shocked when I discovered he wasn’t trying to sell me anything. Excellent resource!”

“Today’s workout went great i feel awesome but i wanted to thank you for some thing else.
I have gained 12 pounds since starting StrongLifts 5×5 program which about cements me as a heavyweight now, this would have been a problem a few months ago but now i am much more confident intense and stronger than ever and have proven to myself that i can more than hold my own with the bigger guys.
Last night was my Taekwondo team’s final practice until January and we were giving away awards to those who the sensei felt deserved it. I was given the most improved and he told me that in past month over the last few competitions he has seen me completely transform I’ve become much more intense for the entire match my kick has way more explosion and he has seen me KO 2 people in our last match without ever doing so before.
I have to thank you because since i have started this workout i have been much better at focusing and my hip strength and flexibility is way better than ever.”

“Imagine my delight when I hopped on the scale today, only to find the 200lb weight slider was to much to start with. 7-8 pounds gone already on StrongLifts 5×5 program. Starting out as a 230lb guy, with the early stages of “man boobs”, I lost 25 pounds running alone. That literally stayed on a plateau for several months.
I believed what I read on this site as a means of gaining muscle and losing fat, but a big part of me remained skepticle that if I stopped running, and only worked out for 30-40 minutes I would just get fat again. I stand corrected, this plan has been faster, more entertaining, less draining mentally (treadmill running is espically boring), and feels better all around.”
Matt Hebert. Winnipeg, Canada
“I started out doing the Stronglifts 5×5 and eating healthy 6 weeks ago. I still weigh exactly the same. However, my belly is way smaller, my pants fit looser around the waist, and my muscles are definitely more defined. I have obviously lost body fat but maintained the same bodyweight.
I used to get up in the mornings and take 10 minutes just to get to the bathroom because my knees hurt (osteo-arthritis) and back was stiff. The stiffness has dramatically decreased. I am way more flexible. I have always been able to bend over and touch my toes but it used to take some getting warmed up first. Now, I can get touch them easily without any warmup.
When I started I could not do one single pullup or chinup. I have worked up to 3 sets of 2 reps on these now in 6 weeks. When I started I could do 5 bw dips. I have worked up to 8 dips and have only incorporated them into the workout a couple of weeks ago. I can honestly say I feel better and healthier than I have felt in a long time and I am just barely getting started.”
Tony Philips. Harriman, Tennessee, USA
I just came back from my session and squatted 67.5kg 5×5 — can’t begin to describe how great that felt when I pushed the last one out. Can’t believe I never squatted until starting StrongLifts 5×5 routine. I really love squats!
It’s funny because I remember when I squatted 45kg, I thought (and felt) that I would have to deload soon as it was a struggle. It’s still a struggle but I feel so strong in all my exercises that I can’t even tell when I will stall. I thought I’d stall at 50kg on the bench, but I also did 62.5kg today.
Can’t thank Mehdi enough for this routine. It’s the best. SQUATS FTW!!
Max Croft. Melbourne. Australia
I ate seriously while starting this program, and gained 20 lbs of solid muscle in the first 3 months. Now I’m hooked on strength training, and don’t care about any body recomposition type stuff, because I’m comfortable with the knowledge that if I just work on getting my squat up, my body will look the way I want it to.
The best way to look strong is to be strong.
