The author

Christian Titze

A long-time strength trainee writing from lived experience, with care around where experience ends and evidence begins.

The experience behind the book

In Chapter 7, Christian writes that he was in his late forties and had trained for strength for most of his life. He used the book’s exact method for one solid year, training three to four times each week, and describes the results as “very good.”

His account anchors the book’s practical emphasis on deliberate eating, progressive training, recovery and consistency over time.
