The #1 Biggest Mistake That 99% of Guys at the Gym Make and How to Fix It

You, I and everyone else you know go to the gym because it makes us feel good.

Even more importantly, we go because it makes us look good. You wouldn’t go to the gym if somehow it made you look worse. So what is the specific look that you’re trying to achieve? Most guys have an idea of what they want to look like, but can’t pin it down to an exact size or shape. They just know there is some room for improvement.

Without a specific goal, how will you ever know if your workout is getting you closer to the shape you want? This is the mistake everyone is making. Going to the gym and working out with no specific goal. Most workouts are a mix of bodybuilding, powerlifting and some form of cardio. Each of these workout styles have their own specific goals that don’t necessarily add up to making you look better.

The bodybuilding mantra of ‘bigger is better’ isn’t right. Most women don’t find overly muscled guys attractive and most huge guys are just insecure. They feel the need to be big because they think it will give get them “respect”. It’s blatantly obvious when guys are working out to compensate for a lack of social status.

Power lifting will make you strong, but it’ll end up turning you into a barrel shape. I’m sure this isn’t quite the look you’re going for.

Excessive cardio will just make you look skinny and weak, and can actually eat away at your muscle mass.

Just any combination of these styles will never give you the results you want. Most guys don’t know how much of each to use and when to back off and when to go for more. To get what you want you need a careful and calculated balance of these workout methods. A specific goal and specific workout tailored to your individual strengths and weaknesses is the only way to be sure that you’re getting the results you want fast.

I’ve designed the Adonis Index Workout to combine the kinds of exercise you are already familiar with in specific, calculated proportions to make you look your best without falling into the traps of any particular style. With a specific goal, you can get to your best body shape. Without a specific goal you may never get there.

How to Get an Above Average Body?

The only way to know if you are above average is to find out what the average is. Like it or not you get judged like this throughout your entire life starting at school and going right up to your performance at work. Even if you own your own business your customers are going to judge if you provide an above average product or service.

The point is that we live in a relative world. The only way to know if you’re doing well is to compare yourself to everyone else. This becomes very apparent when you compare your body to other people. Do you have above average muscle, or strength? Is your percent body fat above or below average?

To answers these questions you need to know what the average is for each of these things.

You probably don’t think about yourself this way very often, and as most people do you probably think of yourself as one of a kind. And you’re right to some degree. Of course nobody else has lived your exact life with the same things happen to them. But on the other hand the look and shape of your body can be categorized and compared to everyone else. And most people are very similar. Most people are close to the average.

To stand out from the crowd you need to be different, you need to be above average.

If average people don’t workout with weights then you need to workout with weights to have above average muscle size. If average people eat an average diet they end up with an average amount of bodyfat. If you want to lower your bodyfat percentage you have to eat slightly less calories than average people do and do more exercise.

The path to becoming exceptional isn’t that complicated. Just look around you at what everyone else is doing and do something different. There is slightly more planning that needs to go into it, but it’s not much.

If I were to sum it up into the simplest sentence it would be this:

Exercise more and eat less than the average person. You might be thinking that there is also an average look of people that workout and you want to be even better than that look. If this is how you feel, then you might also want to have an above average workout and nutrition program.

No matter how far you want to take your body and conditioning there is always a way to get there. You just have to look at what the people who aren’t average are doing.

The people who are the biggest and strongest typically do more work at the gym and lift heavier weights more often than everyone else. The people who are very lean and have defined muscles typically pay more attention to their diet and eat less calories than everyone else.

This might sound simplistic but it’s the truth. It actually isn’t that complicated at all. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, that just means it’s simple. There is a big difference between easy and simple. Things that are simple aren’t always easy. Building muscle and weight loss are two things that are simple, but not easy.

The diet and fitness industry however try to tell you that they are much more complicated which allows them to sell you complicated diet and workout programs.

To make a real change in your body the first steps are very simple. For weight loss just start eating less food, it doesn’t matter what the food is, it just matters that you eat less of it. For muscle building you have to lift heavier weights more often. The sets and reps don’t really matter, it just has to be more often than you’re currently doing and heavier. This is all you need to see big time changes.

Effective dieting and exercising isn’t complicated, the simpler the plan the easier it is to stick to and the faster the results will come.

How To Build A Body Women Can’t Resist

You workout to look good, that is no mystery. The real mystery is what looks good to women. Guys too often make the mistake of working out to impress other guys by trying to be the alpha male. Sure the 300 pound bodybuilder lifting the 150 pound dumbbells might be impressive to power lifters and other bodybuilders, but do most women actually find this kind of enormity attractive?

The answer is no, research tells us that women in general are not attracted to overly muscled guys, they prefer a well built guy who isn’t excessively big.

And if you think you can intuitively guess at your ideal size you’re probably wrong. There is also research to show that guys typically overestimate the size they think women will like buy as much as 30 pounds! So if you can’t trust your intuitions, how can you find out what kind of body you need to be building?

There is a specific mathematical formula for measuring the ideal male body shape and size that women will find most attractive and that other men will be envious of. By applying these specific measurements you can also determine the most effective workout that will get you into this ideal shape.

Forget bodybuilding workouts with the endless goal of “getting bigger”, or power lifting workouts designed to make you strong, but shaped like a tree stump.

As superficial as it might sound, we all want to look good and reap the rewards that our image oriented society bestows upon the best looking people. Regardless of whether or not our society is right or wrong, it’s definitely true that more attractive people are treated better and given more privilege. You can’t change society, but you can change your body. You might as well cash in on the benefits of being one of the good looking people.

Start working out with the specific purpose of looking better and enjoy the rewards that will come your way.

How Much of A “Man” Are You?

On your top 10 list of things that you find attractive in a woman, I’ll bet facial beauty and a nice body account for 9 of the top 10 spots…and in many cases all 10.

In fact, the vast majority of men… me included… will probably give a bit on the face if the woman has a rockin’ body. Yet, in this same regard, how much will you compromise if the woman has the prettiest face you’ve ever seen… but she’s carrying 10, maybe 15lbs over your ideal?

Exactly.

I don’t care how pretty a woman’s face is, if it’s attached to a body more suited for a walrus, that woman is not on your radar, or any other guy that you or I know. This is the girl with the “great personality” that just so happens to be the proverbial “grenade” every night she goes out.

“Personality” never gets a woman too far if she doesn’t have the looks and the body and quite frankly, the research proves it.

So, why do you think that would be any different for guys?

Well, truth be known… there ARE some differences… but they are more subtle than most guys realize.

Attracting women, and especially a hot woman with a great body requires you to know what to say, when to say it, how to move and how to act, but studies also show that being in shape helps much more than most people are giving credit for.

You can believe it or not… but the fact is… if you’re in the throws of passion with a beautiful woman and your body is built like a Greek god… she won’t be able to keep her hands off of you… period.

Taking care of the way you look, and more specifically the shape of your body will not only go a long way in boosting your overall attractiveness to women… it will also boost your confidence in yourself, help you carry better posture, and command respect from other men.

AND… all of this happens the very second you step foot in any room… before you utter a single word.

Can you IMAGINE a more powerful tool to have on your side?

Look, I’ve been in the fitness and nutrition game for over 10 years studying it internationally and consulting professionally. I’ve done every style of training and diet you’ve ever read about, and probably a couple dozen you couldn’t even imagine and I gotta tell you… deep down… everyone understands this… but they never talk about it.

Listen, if you go to the gym on a regular basis then you’re already ahead of the game and probably understand where I am going with this.If you don’t then your next order of business should be getting a gym membership.But once you’re at the gym… do you really know what look you’re trying to  build while you’re there working out?

You might think you want bigger arms, or tighter abs, maybe a more muscular chest, but do you really know how much bigger your arms should be or even if tight abs are necessary to spark subconscious physical attraction in women everywhere?

Do you need to work on your shoulders and back too?

Fact is… most guys just wing it, and figure that working out is going to make them look better… and that bigger is most certainly always better.

Quite frankly, most guys have it all wrong and I can accurately tell you there is a specific body shape and size for every guy that women will find most attractive. And, this same shape will command respect and evoke jealous responses in other men, and exert a higher level of social dominance over everyone in the room.

The specific body shape I am talking about is actually measurable right down to the inch for each male body. And… the kicker is that most guys are way off when they guess at what this should be, yet it’s not as hard to achieve as you might be thinking.

If you’re going to workout (and I suggest you do) you should do it with a purpose. Building a socially dominant body that women are attracted to is a pretty good purpose in my books. That’s why I’ve spent the past year researching this.

I’ve researched the attraction response women have to different male figures and have come up with a specific number called the Adonis Index for you to use to help determine the exact shape you should be in. Couple that with a research based male transformation program and you’ve got your hands on some SERIOUS dating dynamite.

This program is called the Adonis Effect. After all sexual attraction stems from an age old animalistic instinct, and there is nothing more animalistic than how attracted a woman is to your body.

FACTS: If you haven’t had a girl say she gets off on the look of your shoulders when you’re having sex, then you’ve got more military presses to do at the gym. If you haven’t experienced a girl who can’t keep her hands off of your arms, or chest, or any other part of your body, and even the slightest movement from you gets her hot, then you better get a new workout program.

At the core of it all we’re just animals and sexual attraction is a primal animal instinct. Society and language make it a bit of a trick but in general, confidence, body language and the way the male body looks to a woman is what gets her juices flowing. Just think of how sexy a woman can be just by moving her body the right way. No words need to be spoken for attraction to take place.

This same thing can happen in the opposite direction. If you don’t think girls can view guys like a piece of meat, think again!

Think of how convenient it would be for you to be able to attract a girl just based on how your body looks.

Remember, your outward appearance says a lot about your inner view of yourself… and don’t think that women aren’t aware of this. The look of your body and the way you carry yourself is a sure sign that women pick up on before you even have a chance to say a word to them.

YOUR GOAL: Combine a socially dominant body with the best techniques you can learn from the other leaders in the dating and seduction community and you will be an unstoppable, instant attraction generating machine!

How Much Do You Have To Weigh To See Your 6-pack?

Most guys don’t realize how much weight they have to lose to see their full 6-pack abs. In many cases guys will sabotage their own weight loss efforts because they assume they will be able to see all of their abs at an unrealistically high bodyweight.

If you want to see your abs then your goal should be how you look in the mirror and not your bodyweight. If you thought you’d see your abs at 180 pounds, and you diet down to 180 pounds and you don’t’ see them…well that just means you have to diet down even lower to see them, plain and simple no magic trick to that.

The amount you weigh on a scale really doesn’t matter, it’s the look that matters. You probably have a good idea of exactly how you’d like your body to look but only a vague idea if at all of how much you should weigh at that look. But if you’ve never seen your full 6-pack before I’ll bet you’re assuming the weight is much higher than it really is.

In other words, there is a specific bodyweight you will weigh in order for you to have a full set of visible 6-pack abs. Then there is a slightly heavier bodyweight you will be when only 4 of your abs are visible, and then an even heavier weight when only 2 of your abs are visible etc. Most guys will assume a full six pack will be visible at the bodyweight that only shows 2 abs.

For some reason we all think we should be heavier than we really are.

The point is your weight has a specific look. You will look a certain way at 150 pounds, and that particular look and leanness is different from the look you have when you are at 160 pounds and then 170 pounds and so on. You cannot force your body to have the 150 pound look when it is 170 pounds.

In other words, if your full 6-pack is visible only when you are 150 pounds…then you cannot make it visible when you are 170 pounds. It doesn’t mean you can’t be 170 pounds, it just means you have to accept that you will not be as ripped at 170 as you are at 150. (This might sound very obvious but lots of guys make this assumption that they can be as lean as they want at any bodyweight).

Any bodybuilder who has done more than one show can tell you within a pound or two of exactly how much he will weigh when he has a fully defined 6-pack. He can also tell you when he is 5 pounds away and when he is 10 pounds away from a visible full 6-pack.

The only way he will know this is because he’s been there before and knows what he weighed the first time it happened. If he has gained 5 pounds of muscle since his last bodybuilding show, then he also knows that his 6-pack will be visible at a bodyweight 5 pounds higher than the last time it was visible. But he won’t know for sure until he diets down to a visible 6-pack again.

The point is there is no real way to know exactly how much you will weigh when your abs are fully visible until you can see them.

So how do you find out how much you need to weigh to see your abs?

Simple:

Step 1) Lose weight until you can see your full 6-pack

Step 2) Step on a scale

You can use calculators and estimators all day long, but the proof is in the mirror.

If you want to see your abs then forget about bodyweight and simply diet down until you can see them, you’ll most likely be lighter than you expect.

Get The Look that Women Can’t Resist

Women are attracted to a fit and muscular body because it is a sign of masculinity and vitality. However there is an upper limit to how much muscle a guy can have and how hyper masculine a guy can get until it starts to turn off more women than it attracts.

For things like money and social status there is never a ‘too much’ point. However, for things like muscle mass there is definitely a too much point. Women reported having a lower attraction and less desire for overly masculine and over muscled men, you know the big overstuffed bodybuilder types. They assume these men are less trustworthy, more volatile, selfish, impulsive, threatening and dangerous. Scaring women away is definitely not the look that most men are after. So now we know that too big and too masculine isn’t going to work. But too small and too feminine obviously isn’t the answer either.

A very feminine small looking man isn’t really going to attract too many women either, as she will view him as weak and submissive.

So what is the answer?

There is a look that is ideal; it’s not too big, it’s not too small. It’s not the ultra masculine male, and it’s not the effeminate metro sexual skinny look. It is in fact a measureable shape and size that the greatest number of women will find attractive.

This look isn’t the exact middle of the road body either as that would not excite any woman, after all ordinary or average, or mediocre never will be desirable. The look and size is closer to the higher end of muscle mass and masculinity. But it straddles a fine line of not pushing it too far. Knowing how far to go, and where to stop is the key to building the body all women desire. And I’m not making this up, you probably already are relating to what I am saying and there is hard research to back it up. Just read on.

When women were shown pictures of different sizes of men, women always rated male figures that were classified as “Brawny”, “Built” and “Toned” as more sexually desirable than figures that were categorized as “Slender”, “Typical”, or “Chubby”. Women rated men with moderate muscularity as the most attractive, rather than the highest or lowest muscular level. In other words, muscularity up to a point is attractive, but past that point it becomes unattractive, with the highest and lowest levels being the least attractive. Women also chose a more muscular body as the one they were most likely to have short term sexual relationships with.

Check this out…

When surveyed women reported that their most recent short term sex partners were more muscular and more athletic than their other recent non-short term sex partners. Even more interesting is that they dated these more muscular guys for a shorter period of time before gave it up, on average 1 week vs 12 weeks! How is that for results!

In other words, if you’ve got the body these women want, you’re going to get them in bed by the end of the week, if not sooner. If you don’t have the body, you’ve got about 3 months of dating and ‘getting to know you’ stuff to do before you get some play. Can you say “waste of time?!”

Another bonus for you guys who don’t want to deal with clingy girls and messy ‘break ups’ is the fact that girls who had sex with the more muscular men right away felt less emotional attachment to them!

This is pretty hard core proof that when you strip away the thoughts of long term relationships and raising a family, and marriage and all of those other things, women at their core are just like men. They just want to have sex! And lots of it!

They are subconsciously attracted to men with muscular fit bodies and want to have sex with them now, immediately, if not sooner! AND, with this simple desire to have sex, the follow through does not require emotional attachment or any great degree of romanticism. Pure raw physical attraction, that’s it!

For all you guys who don’t think women want to throw down as soon as they see a guy they are attracted to, think again. It might not be immediate within the first hour, but certainly by the end of that day or at the second encounter it is definitely realistic. So your next order of business should be getting the right body shape pronto!

The look that will get these results is a precise shape and size that any man can achieve through the right workout program and paying a bit of attention to his eating habits. It is actually a very attainable look for almost any man. This is what 99% of everybody that goes to the gym is working for; the look that will draw people to you, the look that will land every woman’s eyes on you. I’m talking about the golden ratio and theperfect Adonis Index Score.

For Skinny or Average Size Guys: Building More Muscle = More Sex

Women find muscular men more sexually attractive. Seems obvious, but it is also proven by research. Time and time again, social psychology research shows that women will choose more muscular men for short term sexual partners, and have sex with them faster without a long dating period. They will also have sex with these types of men without developing an emotional attraction to them first.

In a study published in 2007, Frederick et al the researchers discovered that the men who were rated more muscular with less body fat were also the men who had more sexual partners.

This may seem unbelievably obvious to you, but for some reason there is a notion that looks and the condition of your body don’t play a role in attracting women, and that looks have nothing to do with your ability to have sex with good looking women.

Despite this idea, this research is proof that the way your body looks absolutely makes a difference in the amount of sex you will have, and the amount of different women you can have sex with.

In other words, guys with the right ‘type’ of muscularity can have sex with more women, more often, and less physically attractive men are rarely chosen by women for short term sexual relationships (more muscle = more flings).

If she’s looking for a hair raising blast in a sports car, and you look like a practical safe station wagon, then it doesn’t matter what you say or do, she isn’t going to be interested.

The research by Frederick et al shows that guys with the right muscular build get more girls, they have more one night stand’s, and they even have sex with more women that are currently in relationships with other guys.

That’s right, if you’ve got the right look, even married, engaged, or otherwise ‘attached’ women still want a piece of you, and they are perfectly alright with ‘cheating’ on their significant other to have a taste of what you’ve got to offer.

This effect is all dependent on having the right type of muscular body, as the Frederick research illustrated that an overly bulky bodybuilder style build was not as attractive as a body with properly proportioned muscles. Luckily, getting the proper proportions is simply a matter of applying the right workout program like the Adonis Effect, which is designed to build your body into its most ideal attractive shape. So what are you waiting for, get to the gym, and start building the body that women want now.

Building Your Body to Build Your Life

If you’re not satisfied with your position in life or expect more from yourself, your career or your relationships then you clearly have to make some sort of change. Doing the same things that you’ve done up until now will only get you what you already have. If what you have isn’t enough then you must demand more of yourself and everything around you. So how do you start?

The first step to a really changing your life is changing your body. The leading man always looks like a leading man. And believe it or not everyone around you will treat you differently simply based on how you look and present yourself.

Imagine that you were going for an interview for a new position that you really want. Now imagine that it comes down to you and one other guy who is equally qualified, but that other guy is in significantly better shape than you and he just looks like more of a leading man than you do. Which person do you think will get the job?

In most cases the guy who looks the part will get the benefit of the doubt, which means he’s going to get the job, the girl, the money and whatever else he wants. This is partly because he believes he deserves it, and partly because other people also believe he deserves it. It might not sound fair, but this is the way the world works. This is called the ‘halo effect’.

Whenever you’re ready to accept this you can start using this to your advantage and start getting more of what you want in any area of your life.

The first step is taking care of your body. Sure clothes and presentation is important. But the nicest suit on earth wrapped around a sloppy out of shape body doesn’t hide the fact that you can’t take care of yourself.

Getting in shape is the single most important and powerful thing you can do to start affecting real and lasting changes in your career and your relationships because it causes both an intrinsic and extrinsic change.

As you build a better body you will gain more confidence and exude this confidence (whether you know it or not). This will have an effect on everyone that interacts with you. They will start giving you the benefit of the doubt because of what they are seeing.

People judge each other within the first 2 second that they lay eyes on you, so you better be something to look at in those first 2 seconds.

In that time they will make a decision about your ability to take care of yourself, how much confidence and respect you seem to have, how intelligent they think you are, and whether or not they even want to interact with you.

All of this happens in a couple seconds, and this happens way before you ever have a chance to say a word. It’s your job to make your first physical impression a good one. And that is done by building a perfectly proportioned body.

This is no mystery and you and I both know the look of the leading man. It’s not too big, and not too thin, it is in fact the proverbial ‘just right’ size. Believe it or not there is actually scientific evidence for the ideal muscular size of a man’s body and I’ve put it all together into a system I call the Adonis Index Workout.

The end result is the Adonis Effect.

John Barban is the Author of the Adonis Index Workout, a specific method for building a guy’s body into its most attractive shape: the shape women find attractive and that creates social dominance with men.

Are You Her Fun Sex Guy, or the Long Term Settle Down Guy?

Guys have a strong psychological preference for female beauty because an attractive body is a sign of fertility (this is just the scientific explanation for why we find hot women so damn attractive).

When it comes to what women find attractive we have been lead to believe that they focus less on physical attraction and more on things like earning potential, trustworthiness and commitment. This isn’t entirely accurate as you will see.

This idea that women don’t find physical attractiveness important only applies to women seeking long term partners to settle down with a raise a family. Instead other factors as I mentioned above that promote stability are higher up on her list. But how important are they? And how much can a woman really deny her instincts?

Women notice men with fit muscular bodies whether they admit it or not. Women like a muscular physically fit man because subconsciously she understands that it takes effort and energy to maintain such a look. Subconsciously her mind is telling her that by choosing him as a mate her offspring will benefit from his vigor. This is just core primal instinct at work.

I’m sure if you went out today and asked a dozen women why they are attracted to a guy with a fit body they probably wouldn’t have any answer beyond: “I don’t know, he just looks good!” Well I’m just showing you the scientific reason why she thinks so.

The Trade off…

It is also a generally held belief that women are stuck in a ‘trade off’ position when it comes to choosing a man to have a sex with whenever the urge comes up, compared to choosing a man to settle down and have a long term relationship with, with the goal of raising children.

For a fun and sex only based relationship, women will be more likely to choose a man based on physical appearance, whereas in a long term partner she will be looking for other traits like commitment and ability to provide for children. The trade off comes in at this point because the look of a man that she is interested in for a short term sexual relationship is also the look of a guy who typically is not interested in a long term commitment and doesn’t need to work to get sex. I’m sure you know people that fit into these descriptions perfectly.

The ideal situation for a woman looking for a long term relationship would be to land a man with the looks and body of the typical “fun and sex guy” who also has the psychological “long term relationship type guy” characteristics as well. But there aren’t too many guys who fit this mold. I don’t know about you , but I don’t know too many guys who purposely choose to settle down with one woman if they can have more.

This is the catch 22 for women, because men who have the looks and body to attract women for short term sexual relationships can have as many of these relationships as they want. Unless raising a family is a high priority for a man like this, there really isn’t any incentive for him to pursue a long term sexual exclusive relationship with any one particular woman because he knows he can always have another. This is simply a law of supply and demand. How’s that for a completely unromantic way of describing sexual relationships?!

The instinct to be with a muscular man is partly due to the woman’s subconscious desire to have her offspring inherit his muscular traits as well. Even the ability to build muscle from exercise is an inherited trait.

I’m not trying to say that women want to sleep with muscular guys so they can give birth to the incredible hulk. What I am showing you is the reason why being in shape and having a muscular body does matter and how it is rooted deep in a woman’s subconscious.

This might sound like a bunch of science mumbo jumbo, but you can see examples of these animalistic instincts in our daily lives.

I’m just showing you what drives our actions. We still have very basic instincts driving our sexual desire and a strong healthy body is definitely desirable to women weather they admit it or not.

This means one of your first orders of business should be hitting the gym with the right program like the Adonis Index Workout to start building your body to its fullest potential and attract any woman you want. It’s really up to you, do you want to be an object of desire to all women, or the safe alternative she wants to settle down with!?

3 Measurements You Must Know to Build a Perfect Body

Have you ever wondered how we all can spot a person that just looks better? We can even recognize other shapes – a building or a sculpture that just looks ‘right’? All people have an inherent ability to recognize beauty when they see it, but few have ever stopped and tried to describe and measure it.

There is a specific set of measurements and ratios that can tell you what the perfectly proportioned body looks like. Classic Greek and Roman sculptors like Leonardo da Vinci figured out these proportions a long time ago but over time, the concept has disappeared.

The 3 measurements you need to know to determine your ideal proportions are as follows:

1) Height

2) Waist

3) Shoulders

Research done on human anatomy, classic art sculpture, and the psychology of attraction tells us that there is a specific body shape and size that people will find most attractive and pleasing to look at. People that are close to this ideal size are generally treated more favorably, because we live in a society that is driven by beauty and perfection. Given the physical and social benefits of a perfectly proportioned body, aren’t you curious to know what your specific ideal size and shape is, and how to get it?

Starting with your height measurement, each person will have an ideal waist measurement and ideal shoulder measurement that equal your perfect body proportions. These are not up for debate. Scientific research indicates women will find a man most attractive when his proportions approach these ideal measurements. Most people have no idea what these measurements are or how to achieve them.

To start, you need to know where you are now compared to what your ideal is. Once you know your starting point you can determine how to go about getting to where you want to be. The fitness industry has always been striving for the perfectly proportioned look. However, until now nobody has managed to pin down what this “look” is, how to measure it, and how to get it.

I’ve created a workout that is based on bringing you to your specific ideal body shape starting with your current measurements. This specific and defined goal is the best way I have found to formulate an effective workout strategy that gets you to where you want to be.

Forget just doing weights to get big, or doing cardio to burn fat, I’m talking about a specific workout routine to build your body into its perfect form. To get bigger only in the right places and lose inches where you need to. This routine is called the Adonis Index Workout

John Barban is the Author of the Adonis Index Workout, a specific method for building a guy’s body into its most attractive shape: the shape women find attractive and that creates social dominance with men.
