Angie and I have both experienced great success with Nick’s workout programs over the past 4 years. I have also been using his programs to help my personal training clients achieve phenomenal results.

I gained six and a half pounds of lean muscle mass in just 28 days with his “Muscle Explosion” program. Angie firmed up her thighs and tightened her butt with Nick’s “Gluteus To The Maximus” program. This is also the program that I put many of my female clients through as well as some of the guys who want to build a butt because theirs is flat.

Lets face it. When you get a new workout program you expect to learn something new. Often times you discover that it’s the same old recycled crap on the market. One thing that I can guarantee with Nick’s programs is that you will learn something new from each one.

Here’s The Great News…

I am very pleased to announce that I have lost a full inch in my butt! Wow, I was quite shocked. Hard work pays off I guess! My thighs measured the same, but they are definitely much more tighter!

I have been following his 20 minute advanced home workouts. I have been working out 3 days/week. I also follow his leg/butt workout with The Fit Chic 10 minute Express Workouts. I has been intense at times, but well worth it!

Combining Nick’s program with The Fit Chic has been a welcome change and I love focusing on just my butt/thighs for 20 minute periods. It feels really good.

So I just wanted to give you a quick update on my results so far. I am so excited to continue on and see how my body will change in the last 3 weeks of the program. Please share your progress and successes…I’d love to hear from all of you!

Do I have cellulite? Yes, I do! I do notice that it does diminish when I am seriously getting fit. I know that it used to appear more on the back of my thighs and now that I am following Nick Nilsson’s, “Gluteus to the Maximus” program, I am targeting my butt/thighs, which are the areas that I tend to carry my fat. I am gaining muscle here. I just know it because I am seeing lines that I’ve not seen before! My legs and butt just feel hard. It’s awesome because I have not tried to really put emphasis on these areas for awhile and now that I am, it’s great to see that it’s working in my favor!

So what is this dimply stuff? Well, cellulite is basically lumpy fat deposits. This fat behaves no differently from other fat; it is just straining against irregular bands of connective tissue.

As women, we genetically carry more fat in our thighs and hips to prepare for pregnancy and lactation. The dimpling is due to the deposit of fat and fibrous tissue.

The skin consists of two main layers, the outer epidermis and the inner dermis. Below the dermis lies the subcutaneous layer, which attaches the skin to the underlying tissues. This layer consists of loose connective tissue and a lot of adipose (fat) tissue. The dermis consists of dense connective tissue composed mainly of collagen fibers. Collagen is responsible for the mechanical strength of skin.

Unfortunately, we all vary in terms of the elasticity of our skin. Individuals who have cellulite have a dermis layer that has areas of less density, which results in the appearance of dimpling.

So…can you get rid of cellulite?? Well, you definitely CAN decrease the fat in your thighs and hips through a comprehensive, rational, and personalized nutritional and exercise program.

Further, deep massaging every night to break up the deposits of fat and fibrous tissue can help to temporarily decrease the appearance of cellulite.

Have a great workout!

Cheers to health,

Following the Muscle Explosion has been one of the best things that I’ve ever done for myself. It forced me to step outside of my comfort zone. It forced me to try exercises and variations of exercises that I would have never imagined trying. I has totally transformed my physique, and I’m loving the comments that I’m getting from Angie and my friends in the gym. But most of all it’s transformed my mind.

I think that it has something to do with the challenge itself. I felt like a different person when I entered the gym. I had laser focus. I pushed myself harder than I’ve ever pushed myself in the past. I really wanted to put the Muscle Explosion program to the test.

The biggest thing that the Muscle Explosion program did for me was get me excited about putting on even more muscle. I’ve basically mapped out the next 6 months and Muscle Explosion is a big part of those 6 months. That in itself has a lot to say for the program. If it didn’t work for me I certainly wouldn’t be going back on it again. I’ll share my long term plan with you later this week.

Here’s another picture of me that I took today. So let me share some measurements with you. You already know that I gained 6 1/2 pounds of muscle in 28 days. Well I also gained 1 1/2 pounds of fat and 1/2 an inch on my waist in that time as well. That’s not too bad actually. I was hoping to add a little bit of fat to make sure that I was consuming enough calories to build muscle.

I gained 2 3/4 inches on my shoulders. This has been totally obvious to everyone that’s seen me in a tank top working out. My shoulders a completely popping out now. Someone commented that it looked like I had 3 heads at one point

I wish that I would have taken some shots of my back. I’ve achieved a very noticeable difference in width and thickness. I’ll do that next time for sure.

I love the results that I achieved in my upper body. My wife and friends keep telling me how much better I look. Extra muscle really makes a difference. Even though I was hoping for more gains in my thighs and calves, I’m still pretty darn excited. These are difficult body parts for me to make gains on. It’s got a lot to do with how tight the connective tissue is around those muscles. I’m going to keep working on that.

I’m not the only one that has experienced gains on the Muscle Explosion program. I just received an email from one of my subscribers Jeff Doucette. Here’s a Jeff’s before picture…Before entering the Muscle Explosion challenge Jeff had completed an amazing fat loss journey and reclaimed his health and energy. But he was feeling a bit skinny and he decided to step outside of his comfort zone as well and take on the challenge.

Jeff I just wanted to say how glad I am that you decided to go ahead and submit your pictures. It’s been great to have you commenting on my blog posts and sharing your experience with the program as well. It sounds like this is just the beginning of a wonderful journey of continuous growth and improvement.

Here’s Jeff’s after shot. Jeff gained 9 pounds of muscle during the Muscle Explosion 28 day challenge. He mentioned that his nutrition wasn’t the best and that he had gained 5 pounds of fat as well. But all in all Jeff said that people are commenting that he looks better now than he did 28 days ago even with the extra fat.

Jeff gained 1 3/4 inches on his chest, 3/4 inch on his calves, 1/2 inch on his biceps, and 1/2 inch on his thighs.

I have to agree with Jeff’s friends that he’s looking much better now. His shoulders are broader and he’s looking fuller than he did 28 days ago. Jeff I look forward to going through the program again with you and see if we can get even better results the second time around.

If you are looking to add several pounds of muscle to your body, the Muscle Explosion program gets my highest endorsement. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I’ve never come remotely close to gaining this much muscle in this little time. And my body has never felt better.

I will be going through the Muscle Explosion program again starting on Monday August 4th. If you would like to join me during my second time on this amazing mass building program I will be offering another challenge and will do another q & a session with Nick and this time I get to share my experiences with you live on the call and help you get the most out of the Muscle Explosion Program.

If you decide that the Muscle Explosion program is something that you would like to try, or if you already own the Muscle Explosion program and would like to follow along with me in August, simply send me an email at scotttousignant@gmail.com along with your receipt for the Muscle Explosion program and I will grant you access to the call and fill you in on the details of the next challenge. Plus you will get the recordings from the incredible interview that I did with Nick at the beginning of this challenge. It was absolutely amazing!

If you don’t own Muscle Explosion yet, you can learn more about it by visiting…

I love the Muscle Explosion program and I love the results that it delivers even better!

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my honest review of the Muscle Explosion Challenge. I’d like to say that I gave the program my absolute best, but I know that I can do even better the second time around. I’m expecting you to hold me accountable to that!

I’ll be announcing the winner of the first Muscle Explosion challenge on Thursday. The winner will receive my programs “The Fit Bastard”, “Unstoppable Fat Loss”, “The Fit Chic” (for their significant other), and any 2 of Nick Nilsson’s programs.

Keep training hard everyone. The results are well worth the effort. You absolute get back what you put into it.

Have an awesome day!

Scott Tousignant

However, I didn’t want to feel crappy from eating too much junk so I really thought about how I could minimize the junk, yet still feel that ‘comfort’ I wanted. So I bought some frozen yogurt, frozen blueberries (feels great on a sore throat), popsicles, and freezies.

I have taken the last 5 days off of the Firm Butt Challenge and today is my first day back on it! Boy, does it feel great to get that pump again! For those of you who do not know about the challenge, this is Nick Nilsson’s Gluteus to the Maximus workout. I am following the 20 minute advanced home workouts. I have already gone through the 14 workouts and have started back at the beginning again.

I did ‘up’ the number of sets I’m doing because his workouts get progressively more tough (more insane!) as you move from #1 – #14. I want to keep progressing and in order to do that, you need to challenge your body to respond to the workload. So instead of the 3 sets of bench lunges, I did 5. For the side lunges I did 4 sets instead of the two. You can also increase your weights and decrease your rest time as you progress. I followed my workout today with the Fit Chic 10 minute Express workouts.

I am feeling so great to be back at it! I have even gotten onto the stationary bike today! It is really humid outside today and there is a smog advisory. Better to do the cardio indoors, where I don’t need to gasp for CLEAN AIR!

Have a good one!

Cheers to health,

Today I did the 2 Bench Lunges for 12 sets…yes, that’s right, 12. It was awesome because for the first 3 sets I did heavier weights and 8 reps, for the next 3 sets I did a lighter weight and 12 reps…I was pretty sweaty. Then I followed this pattern until I hit the 12.

Now that I have gone through all of his workouts I will start at the beginning again and just adjust the weights and number of reps so that I am still challenged and moving forward. If you are following what I am doing, be sure to challenge yourself too!

I followed his workout with The Fit Chic 10 minute Express Workout. Today was chest and triceps. I did 8 sets of 8…wow. Needless to say, it was an awesome workout and I feel totally on track again after a weekend of crappy eating! There were a couple of bbq’s and parties going on and I was a bit side-tracked, however I am back on track! I am only human too. I am not going to get down on myself for eating the extra junk, I know that kind of thinking gets me NOWHERE! So I am staying focused on eating really well this week and treating myself on the weekend.

Hope you are all doing well and SEEING those FIRM BUTTS and THIGHS!

Cheers to health,

The workouts this week are the same as last week and I’m loving them. The stretch-pause style of training has been very effective for me. I love the pump that it gives me, and I love that it has helped relieve the pain in my left shoulder.

On Saturday I had an hour deep tissue massage which was awesome. I can take the pressure on my upper body, but I usually have to ask the therapist to ease up on my legs because they are so frickin tight. But this massage was different. The therapist noticed right away. He said, “Wow, your calves and quads are not as tight as they usually are, and you’re not wincing in pain.”

I noticed immediately as well. I couldn’t believe it. My connective tissues and muscles have actually loosened up while using the Muscle Explosion program. This is a huge deal for me. I know for certain that the tightness in my connective tissue has been the reason for the slow progress with building my legs and chest.

My eating has been great except on weekends. This past weekend I over indulged in cake, and chocolate fondu. I’m not going to beat myself up over it though. Most days are relatively the same when it comes to my nutrition. I’m a creature of habit.

I’m about to head out the door for today’s workout. The focus is on Chest, Back, Biceps, Calves, and finishing off with the core combo. I’m really looking forward to feeling the pump once again today. It’s unlike anything that I’ve ever experienced before.

I must admit, I’m a little scared of tomorrow’s workout. The burn that I feel in my quads during this workout is like a 5 alarm fire. My quads scream for mercy as I do the leg press and sissy squat combo. Seriously, the look on my face must be priceless as I scream in agony. Gotta luv it

I feel completely recovered after having the weekend to rest up. It’s time to give this week everything that I’ve got. I’m shocked that I’ve already packed on 4 1/2 pounds of muscle and wonder just how much I could put on this week. I’m almost at my goal of achieving 5 pounds of muscle gain during the 28 day challenge. I must reach that mark!

At this point in the game, although I have not finished the full 28 days, I am confident with the results that I have achieved so far that I can give the Muscle Explosion program my full endorsement.

If you want to pack on some serious mass, you must add the Muscle Explosion program to your arsenal. 4 1/2 pounds of muscle in 21 days is crazy. Lets see what it can do for me in 28 days.

Set your goals and go after them…

Scott Tousignant

We are also getting a full body workout in each week by following The Fit Chic 10 minute Express Workouts. Right now, we are on ‘dropsets’ and we plan to do a different routine next week.

My cardio has been kinda all over the place because the kids are out of school now! I am already feeling scatterbrained! I need a routine! Anyway, I am up early today to write and I did go for an awesome walk/jog last night while the kids watched a video with dad. I ran almost all out for a couple of minutes (I was really winded) and then I walked enough to catch my breath again. I did this for about 25 minutes. My cheeks were on fire afterwards…no, I don’t mean my butt cheeks- my facial cheeks! I get really red in the face when I do cardio.

I am also trying my best to listen to the Unstoppable Fat Loss Audio series whenever I can. Yesterday I had my MP3 player on while I was cleaning up the house. I find that I just need to get creative to fit the time in to listen to it. I find that I truly need to do this when I want results to happen because it keeps me so MENTALLY focused.I really enjoyed listening to Jon Benson’s interview yesterday. He is so right on. Do you have a favourite interview? Why does this particular person inspire you? I love Jon’s analogies and his mind driven attitude!

Well I must go and EAT some breakfast! I am having some oatmeal, protein powder, and berries today…then I will do my killer workout! I’ll let you know how I do! Let me know how you do too…

Have a great day and weekend!

Cheers to health,

It just goes to show that the mirror can be a really good indicator of the progress that you are making. It has been obvious to me during the past 5 days that my chest has been filling out quite noticeably. This excites me more than you can imagine because developing my chest muscles has been a major challenge for me over the years, especially since injuring my shoulder over 10 years ago.

The amazing thing is that my shoulder has not been aggravated at all while I’ve been on the Muscle Explosion program. In fact, it’s been feeling much better. All of this has been great news for me

I’m surprised that I’m actually able to walk today and that my legs aren’t very sore after the intense training that I put them through yesterday. What’s really sore on me is my chest muscles from Monday’s workout. They are very tender to the touch. What a great feeling

What I Ate On Day 17 Of The Muscle Explosion Challenge

Meal 1: 3 whole eggs with salsa, 2/3 cup oatmeal with mixed berries, Prograde VGF+25 multi-vitamin, Prograde EFA-Icon, 5 grams creatine, 5 grams glutamine

Meal 2: 4 chicken legs, large bowl of zucchini with garlic and cheese, Prograde Craver Meal Replacement Bar

Meal 3: Protein Shake

Meal 4: 3 whole eggs with cheese, 2 handfuls of almonds

Meal 5: ice cream on a waffle cone (celebrating the last day of school for the kids)

Meal 6: 1 can flaked white tuna, 1 tbsp mayo

I didn’t hop on the scale today or take any body fat measurements. I’ll be doing that tomorrow. Until then, it’s time to raise the bar when it comes to your training.

Scott Tousignant

Nick proved how mean he can be by following up this pair of exercises with a leg curl and stiff leg deadlift combo. Not nice Nick! Not nice at all. I went from thinking my quads were going to seize up to thinking that my hamstrings were going to cramp up and I wouldn’t be able to stretch them back out.

In addition to legs, I also trained triceps, shoulders, traps, and a core combo at the end. The stretch-pause training that Nick Nilsson puts you through in this phase of the program is totally awesome. I’ve never trained like this before and I’ve never experienced a pump like this before. I’ve felt intense burning in my thighs with other workouts in the past, but this training put all of them to shame.

I loved the triceps combo of close grip bench presses and holding the stretch position with the dumbbell lying triceps extension. That was killer!

What I Ate On Day 16 Of The Muscle Explosion Program

Meal 1: 3 whole eggs with salsa, 2/3 cup oatmeal with mixed berries, Prograde VGF+25 multi-vitamin, Prograde EFA-Icon, 5 grams creatine, 5 grams glutamine

Meal 2: 2 Chicken fajita, cup of coffee

Meal 3: 4 oz chicken breast and veggies

Pre-Workout Meal: Prograde Craver Meal Replacement Bar

Post-Workout Meal: Prograde Workout Recovery Shake with an extra scoop of protein, 10 grams glutamine, 2 chicken fajitas

Meal 6: 4 oz chicken breast, 2 handfuls of almonds, small protein shake, Prograde Craver Meal Replacement Bar

Relaxing in the jacuzzi tub is mandatory after today’s workout. I’ll take some time to stretch out. My chest and calves are sore and tight from yesterday’s workout.

Seriously… I am loving the Muscle Explosion program more and more each day. I’ve got to take some measurements tomorrow. Visual, I’m seeing some great improvements in my physique.

Time is flying by. 28 days to maximum mass will arrive before I know it. Catch ya tomorrow.
