Yeah Yavor his book is solid – I even gave it to one of my female clients, who loved it, since he talks training as well as keeps it entertaining with some good writing..

Her only negative feedback was she didn’t like Nate’s hair on the cover .. haha

Just got Nate’s book. Solid stuff. I like how he alternates training phases – this has a twofold benefit. It eliminates stagnation AND accounts for the shift in training goals according to the season. – Bulk vs. Beach.

Kaiser,

Thanks for doing these interviews with Nate. I love his philosophy and honesty. I’ve taken Nate’s advice (from an interview he did with Mike Robertson) about starting a blog. I’m excited about the possibilities!

Thanks for keeping us all motivated!

Another great post Kaiser. It’s great to see other young people working hard and succeeding! I can’t stand hearing that our generation is a bunch of slackers! You and Nate are proof positive that’s anything but.

Look forward to the webinar.

Great interview Kaiser! As a student, intern, & newbie to training, it’s cool to read about how far you can take things with fitness.

Right now, I’m just starting to gain experience and will be implementing the techniques I see & read about here as soon as possible. -A

Yeah Paul I agree – Nate’s a brash guy, but he knows his stuff – with the guys he knows and hangs with on a regular basis, guys like Cossgrove, Robertson, and Berardi, you’d just pick up smarts by osmosis if nothing else –

And he’s proof himself – he used to be scrawny as hell but now he’s one jacked dude – and you gotta love the title of that book – if that’s not the ultimate show of balls I don’t know what is -

Good stuff. I actually went out and bought Nate’s book after reading that very first blog post about him. Extremely satisfied with the book. It’s to the point and entertaining as hell. The programs in there are awesome. At 5′7″ and a hard gainer, I managed to put on 5lbs of lean muscle in 6 weeks (now at around 155 with a goal of going over 160).
Unfortunately, I injured my finger playing sports. It was bad enough that I couldn’t grip anything for almost 3 weeks. Just hit the gym this past Monday fearing I would have lost progress, but to my surprise, I’m just as strong as I was before getting hurt (and the strongest I’ve EVER been).
So yeah, all that to say Nate Green knows what he’s talking about. I recommend his book to anyone looking to build some mass.

Hey John – welcome to the blog and thanks for your input – I just checked out your site and you’re doing some amazing stuff over there –

Yeah, Nate is definitely inspiring and we can all learn from him in terms of outside the box thinking -

Kaiser,

Good job! (not that you need my approval). But great interview with nate. I’ve heard of Nate Green, never followed him though, very interesting guy and definitely a bright spot in the industry. I’m sure that a lot of fitness professionals can relate to his story (including me). He’s really an inspiration…and you also!

Keep up the good work!

Peace,
