Introduction

From my humble beginnings in 2001, to the year-round look I hold today.

ABOUT THIS EDITION

What lies within these pages is just the tip of the iceberg in regards to what youll find in the 150 page full edition of Reveal The Steel. That being said, everything that is written here, is also contained in that very book. I encourage you to sit down and read it in your own time, and if you think youre ready to take on the full guide, including the 18 week program, I encourage you to head over to revealthesteel.com

Who this book is for

What Reveal The Steel is ultimately about, is to help you achieve a lean, defined and most importantly maintainable physique year-round. A physique that is realistic to achieve. That doesnt mean average, it means superior, but obtainable. Reveal The Steel is a blueprint to help you change your mind-set. There are routines and diet advice, yesbut its more important to understand why you need to eat and do certain things. Once you have an understanding of proper training and nutrition, youll be able to modify things for continued success for years to come.

What if youre just starting out?

Even though pretty much anyone looking to get lean and defined would benefit from the program, it isnt specifically tailored for the beginner. If youre just starting out, Id recommend attacking it slowly. Maybe do one of the stages (that are outlined later) and see how you go. The last thing you want to do is injure yourself and stop training altogether...

What if you want to get super massive like a professional bodybuilder?

You wont find it here. Obtaining a body builders physique requires an extreme form of diet, training (and steroid use), that quite frankly, few of us desire to achieve. Nor would one have the mindset, dedication, bank account nor spare time to be able to reach such dimensions.

What if youre female?

Reveal The Steel is for youThe outlined program will not only work for both genders, but It will also tend to the individual needs of both with particular exercises. Im a firm believer that women should be lifting heavy weights and training similarly to men. No, you wont become a huge muscle-bound womanthankfully, due to differing

hormonal profiles and the genetic makeup of the fairer sex, becoming a she-hulk is a very difficult thing to achieve (more on that later...)

What if youre a hard gainer?

More often than not, hard gainers are fitness enthusiasts that are new to training and simply arent eating enough to repair the damage caused by weight training, and subsequently build new muscle. In this book, Ill explain how to reach those caloric goals in the easiest way possible.

This is the eventual look that Reveal The Steel is targeted at helping you achieve.

What if you just want six-pack abs?

Reveal The Steel might just be what the doctor ordered. The key to the abs question is diet, training and discipline. Its all going to be laid out for you, all thats missing is your desire to complete the program, and to make sure you adhere to the routines and your diet.

IN A NUT-SHELL
Reveal The Steel is about being able to build muscle, get lean and then stay lean all year round. I want you to be able to achieve physical greatness without a lighting crew, baby oil nor product endorsement.

Its all up to you...

I dont want to waste your time from the get-go by promising things I cant deliver. At the end of the day the results will all come down to you, and how much effort youre willing to put in.

Diet & Nutrition

INTERMITTENT FASTING
Intermittent fasting (IF) is a pattern of eating that alternates between intermittent periods of not eating (fasting) and periods of consumption (the fed state). The fasting period is usually for an extended period of time (minimum of 12-16 hours). Ill freely admit, Im a huge fan of IF. Since stumbling upon Brad Pilon and Martin Berkhans techniques, Ive pretty much included one or more of them in my lifestyle permanently. This doesnt mean it will work for everybody, nor is it the only way to eat year round. There are so many ways to eat when youre active that will give you solid results one way or another. The key here is, that you stick to any set plan and try not to deviate. Youve gotta give any technique a chance to work.

The benefits of IF

One proven study suggests that there is an increase of energy expenditure in resting adults as a result of fasting.2 Another study concludes that metabolic rate is actually increased in short-term fasting.3 While some of my own experiences arent backed by specific scientific evidence, I truly believe that there have been additional benefits from daily fasting with over two years experience applying it to my lifestyle.

Energy

I seem to have the same if not more energy not only when I train (fasted), but also throughout the day. My mind stays focused and I have total clarity around what I need to achieve. NOTE: Prior to training in a fasted state, consider drinking a strong black coffee to give you a boost whilst you train.

Immune response

Whilst Ive largely been working from a home office for the past two years, Ive noticed the frequency of illness from cold and flu type symptoms has decreased significantly. I used to get sick at least

7
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

three or more times per year. Ive probably been sick once of note in this period (with the symptoms subsiding within a week).

Maintainable body composition

Whilst many small meals per day is a valid pattern of eating, Ive just found simplifying my intake to 2-3 meals per day has allowed me greater freedom to eat the foods I love more often, and to be able to maintain a visible set of abdominals year round (something which I was never able to achieve during my years of 6-8 small meals per day).

Considerations for females

Due to hormonal differences in the fairer sex, Ive found with my own experiences (usually involving my fabulous wife, God-bless), that intermittent fasting, whilst fantastic, can prove to be more challenging to adhere to. This is predominately of notice during menstrual cycles and other times of increased mental/physical stress. The way to curb this, is to either limit the duration of the fast (ie. reduce the fasting length by 2-3 hours at a time), or to avoid fasting during certain times of the month altogether.

FIGURING OUT YOUR CALORIC INTAKE

In order to hit caloric deficit, maintenance or surplus for any given week, there are a bunch of equations you can use to find out your target. The key here is to find your total weekly calories then plan to achieve one of the three goals mentioned above. If you dont hit your goal, try not to stress about ittheres still time to right your wrongs.

8

METRIC OR IMPERIAL
The following equations are all based on metric units. For them to work correctly with Imperial measurements, you can convert them very easily. Use a calculator and convert pounds to kilograms by dividing pounds by 2.2 (there are 2.2 lbs/kg), and convert inches into cm by multiplying inches by 2.54 (there are 2.54 cm/inch).

MIFFLIN-ST JEOR EQUATION

As recently as 2005, the American Dietetic Association published a comparison of various calorie estimation equations. The Mifflin-St Jeor was found to be the most accurate. This equation can be used to find your maintenance calories. We will later adjust our maintenance calories up or down depending on of our goals are to gain or lose weight respectively.

Men - 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) + 5 Women - 10 x weight (kg) + 6.25 x height (cm) - 5 x age (y) - 161 As an example:

A 30 year old, 80kg male whos 180cm tall would look like the following: (10 x 80) + (6.25 x 180) - (5 x 30) + 5 = 1,780 calories a day (12,460 calories per week)

KATCH-MCARDLE EQUATION
This is considered a more accurate formula but should only be used if have a good estimate of your body fat percentage. BMR = 370 + (21.6 x LBM) Where LBM = [total weight (kg) x (100 bodyfat %)]/100

Multiply this figure by an activity variable.

The activity factor is based on more than just your training. It also includes work/lifestyle etc.

Average activity variables are...

1.2 = Sedentary (Little or no exercise + desk job) 1.3-1.4 = Lightly Active (Light daily activity & light exercise 1-3 days)

9
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

1.5-1.6 = Moderately Active (Moderately active daily life & moderate exercise 3-5 days) 1.7-1.8 = Very Active (Physically demanding lifestyle & hard exercise or sports 6-7 days) 1.9-2.0 = Extremely Active (Hard daily exercise or sports/physical job) NOTE: Both of the above equations tend to over estimate your baseline caloric needs. Make sure you constantly ADJUST as you track your progress.

CARB-CYCLING
Carbohydrates are an essential source of energy (fuel) that the human body utilizes in situations involving physical activity by turning sugars into energy. I love to use the analogy that your body is like a car because it works on a variety of levels: When your car is running on empty, and you need to travel somewhere, what do you do? Thats rightyour put fuel (energy) into it. The amount of fuel you put in the vehicle will depend on how far you need to travel. Right?

The same can be said with carbohydrates

As an example, if you were going to train for a one hour session, youd probably need fuel in the tank in order to get the job done. Im not saying that youd need to fill up before you train, as there might already be fuel in the tank from the day before. However, you will expend a proportion of the fuel in the tank during that 1 hour training session.

What about on a rest day when you arent training?

You wouldnt put fuel in your car if you werent driving somewhere would you? This analogy can also apply to your body. Its on these days that you can lower your carbohydrate intake.

Thats carb-cycling in a nut shell...

It would be easy to get caught up in the How many carbs? debate, so allow me to make it super simple: Just eat less in general on your rest days. Less of everything (fats, carbs, protein). You need not be too strict about it, but on the days you are resting or doing less activity, its beneficial to your fat-loss goals to eat slightly less. Thats it.

10

OTHER DIETING METHODS

As Ive previously mentioned, there is no right or wrong way to eat for a lifetime of results. As long as youre consuming the same energy that you are expending (or expending more energy than youre consuming if fat loss is a goal), then any method from paleo, vegan, to low-carb and beyond, will all work for you in some way or another. Pretty much all methods and strategies have their place. It really makes sense to incorporate a method which not only works for you now, but one that will work for you indefinitely.

Training mistakes & misconceptions

WORRYING ABOUT STARVATION MODE

Theres a myth floating around concerning the fact that youll go into starvation mode if you restrict calories for more than 2 hours (specifically in regards to someone involved in a weight training program). Thankfully, this just isnt the casethe human bodys a smart beast in that it wont suddenly turn to its muscle as fuel if theres a sudden drop in caloric consumption. Imagine if this were true! Wed be wasting away any time we took a vacation or even whilst we slept. This is just an example of fear mongering created by the food, diet and supplement industry. You can eat very low calories for extended periods of time with no change in your metabolism nor decrease in muscle mass as long as you do some form of resistance training.3

THINKING YOULL BULK UP LIFTING WEIGHTS (LADIES)

The fact or the matter is, resistance training should be performed by any female looking to make significant changes to her body composition. If youre after a lean and toned physique, you just wont be able to achieve it with cardio alone.

The media is to blame

Once again, I have to point fingers hereand they are squarely aimed at the marketing of fitness products to the fairer sex. How often do you see pictures of female fitness models holding tiny little weights on the front of magazines? Sure, they look slim and often

13
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

rippeddo you honestly think they got to that level from doing high-rep/low-weight training? Not on your life.

Female body builders

This is where, unfortunately, a small minority dictates the opinion of the majority. How often do you hear I dont want to get big and bulky like a man! A large proportion of female body builders are on steroids with their imagery being shared around the internet due to the inherent shock factor that they provide. Im not talking about fitness models here, Im talking about the freaky end of the scale. It is this imagery that has tainted the opinion of a vast majority of women who believe that countless hours on the treadmill or very high rep, low poundage weight training will give them the body of Megan Fox. NOTE: At the time of writing, Megan Fox weight-trains regularly and follows Harley Pasternaks 5-factor fitness program).

Unlike this picture suggests, those tiny weights will do nothing for you.

So wont women get bulky if they train like men?

Thankfully, due to the hormonal makeup of women, lifting heavy weights wont have you packing on muscle mass and size in quite the same way as men. Women produce nowhere near the same amount of testosterone that men do. Being that the amount of the big T in ones body determines the amount of muscle one can grow, it makes sense that women will have a much harder time of building muscle. Even if you wanted to, youd probably need some assistance.4

NOT TRACKING PROGRESS

This ones a biggie. Whilst your progress will no doubt never be linear (in that you wont be able to add 2kgs (4.4lb) to your lifts each and every week), its a necessity to keep track. Its as simple as writing it all down as you perform each set. You can use good old-fashioned pen and paper, or any number of applications available for iPhone and Android. If you decide not to keep track, youll probably have no idea what your gains are week to week, nor what rep ranges you need to follow. NOTE: You can also use the supplemental training logs (PDF and EXCEL) that are included in the full edition of this book.

Training

TRAINING METHODOLOGY & PERIODIZATION

What Ive found with my training in the past, is that the key to achievable year-round results is some form of periodization. Periodization is a training system performed by a tonne of athletes (regardless of sport) whereby fitness is built in stages and reaches a peak at certain times.

Goals keep you sharp and focused with the additional benefit that youll seldom become bored with the same old routines month after month.
Periodization is the crux of what lays beneath Reveal The Steel. The outlined course will make sure that each one of these PEAK times are hit in a successive, accumulative fashion.

Why?

Its important to train with a GOAL in mind. To get the most out of your diet and training, youll want to have pin-point clarity about what goals you are aiming for at any given time. Goals keep you sharp and focused with the additional benefit that youll seldom become bored with the same old routines month after month. Youll also enjoy training a lot more by being able to strive for each additional PEAK.

16

REP RANGES
Rep ranges are important in that muscle fibres respond in one of either two ways: They GROW or they GET STRONGER. To get the most out of your training, youll need to concentrate on key rep ranges during each training regimen to maximise the goal they were designed for. Ill make this very clear right now: rep ranges will NOT dictate the amount of fat-loss youll experience. You can put down your supposed fat burning sets of twenty right now! Yes, fat-loss can occur EVEN with low-rep training.

High reps (15-20+)

Dont get me wrong, high-rep training does have its place. As an example, unlike most major body parts, the calves and abs are incredibly resistant to fatigue. Thats because they are generally composed of a greater percentage of slow-twitch (endurance) muscle fibers than fast-twitch (power) fibers. Theres still heated discussion amongst body building circles as to which method of (high or low rep) training is better for abs and calves. Whilst the jury is still out, Ill continue to recommend training them in multiple rep ranges to make sure all bases are covered. NOTE: Calf-training for the fairer-sex is largely unnecessary due to the fact that a large proportion of women choose to wear high-heels.

Moderate and low reps (3-5 and 8-12)

In general terms, lower rep ranges using heavier weights will strengthen the muscle, whilst moderately higher rep ranges with a slightly lighter weight (aka more volume) will build muscle.

Combining rep ranges is the key

I hold steadfast to the belief that its essential you stimulate all of the muscle fibers in order to optimally train a muscle, regardless of its muscle-fiber composition (fast or slow twitch).

RANGE-OF-MOTION
There are errors to be made at all levels of training (heck, Im even guilty of some of them). One of the biggest flaws I see at any given gym, is the lack of range-of-motion. By that I mean, a lot of fitness enthusiasts will limit the amount of range they use on an exercise in order to be able to lift more weight. Ever seen someone in the squat rack trying to lift five plates per side when really, they can only handle one?

17
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Its this ego-driven mind-set that will prevent progress in all areas of your lifts. Sure you can budge the weight a whole two-inches from the starting point, but did you recruit many if any muscle-fibres in order to accomplish it? I didnt think so. NOTE: If you find youre progress stalling, perhaps have someone check your form to make sure youre using a complete range of motion on your lifts. If not, lower the weight, correct your form and youll be surprised at how much more effective your training will become.

Reveal The Steel program outline

PROGRAM OUTLINE
To give you an idea of whats contained within the Reveal The Steel program itself, below Ive detailed some of the features as well as the program outline. Reveal The Steel is an 18 week, intense training program for both men and women that can be cycled for year-round results.

Just like in computer games, when youve conquered the STAGE BOSS you can move up to the next one.

THE STAGE SYSTEM

Reveal The Steel concentrates on goals throughout the program. This is crucial for continual progress and will make it much easier for you to stick to.

This is where the idea of stages comes into play...

Just like in computer games, when youve conquered the Stage Boss you can move up to the next one.

Flexibility

This program is flexible enough to allow you to add additional weeks into each stage as you see fit. If you need more time in Stage 3 for example, then extend the program out a couple of weeks longer. Flexibility is key in making sure you reach the FINAL STAGE!

20
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

STAGE 1
(Weeks 1-8) Strength (+Fat-loss)
Method: Crude Reverse Pyramid Training (RPT) With the style of training used during this stage, youll be able to build some serious strength whilst losing body fat at the same time (if you can get your diet in check of course).

STAGE 2
(Weeks 9-12) Muscle Gain (+Strength)
Method: Alternating Split Stage 2 mainly concentrates on muscle gain. Again, youll need to be eating properly to reap the benefits (slightly above maintenance calories).

STAGE 3
(Weeks 13-17) Fat-loss (+Muscle Gain)
Method: Pyramids Time for some more advanced training methodology. Are you ready to really smash it hard? Youll be training with short rests and some serious volume to promote fat-loss.

STAGE 4
Method: Glyocgen Depletion This stage is for hard-core trainers only. It details exactly what I do to get ready for vacations and shoots (including the photo shoot for this book). This final stage is specifically designed to get you as sharp as possible for that beach holiday or modeling job by reducing water under the skin and depleting glycogen. NB: If you have no need for Stage 4 then I suggest extending Stage 3 for a further week.

(Week 18) Bonus

Notes on the setup

The beauty of it is, these stages can be cycled all year round. At the end of the 18 week cycle, assess your progress, go back to Stage 1 and tweak the exercises if you need to. This program can be used year after year to maintain your physique, or even bust training plateaus.

21
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

EXAMPLE STRUCTURE
All stages throughout the program involve a 3 day weight-training split, with an additional 1 or 2 days of cardio, which is ramped up in Stage 3 and again in Stage 4. Dont worry, if you can only train twice a week, the program is for you and youll still see results...

ROUTINES
Each stage contains two, three or six routines. The outlined routines are inherently different to each other in structure and exercise selection.

Exercise selection

Each exercise has been chosen to help achieve one or more of the goals outlined for the particular stage it falls under. Rep ranges and volume have both been taken into consideration to make sure that youre in the gym for the least amount of time possible. Its all about intensity and productive training not hours of tedious exercising.

SUBSTITUTIONS FOR HOME WORKOUTS

Not everyone can make it to the gym, nor do they have access to one. This is why Ive made sure to include example substitution exercises (where possible) for each routine. These were written in association with Holistic Lifestyle Practitioner, Janelle Waters, who specializes in this area. Each substituted exercise is highlighted and called out on the routine overview of each page. Like I said, they are only examplesI encourage you to use your imagination and get creative.

NOTE: Being that this program is intended for an intermediate or advanced level trainer, the assumption has been made that you personally own either dumbbells or kettlebells in order to be able to complete at home routines.

23
COPYRIGHT CLINT NIELSEN 2012. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

ROUTINE EXAMPLE
Below is an example routine (Stage 1, Routine 2). First up, youll be introduced to the exercise list (with reasons as to why they are included), then you are given the entire routine with notes on each movement to make sure you are maximizing your time in the gym.

Color-Coding

Youll note that each stage is color-coded so youll know exactly where youre up to at any point during the program. Easier to follow means itll be easier for you to achieve results and most importantly, stick to the plan!

TESTIMONIALS
As a personal trainer, I have seen just about every weight loss method on the market. Unfortunately, they always end the same way: the workout and/or the diet is simply too hard to stick with long term and results dont come quick enough. What I LOVE about Reveal The Steel is that it is a program that finally shows you how to have a life AND have the body you want. Clint is candid, real, and hell-bent on getting you to where you want to be. You wont be disappointed...promise! - Brenda Kniefel, USA (Certified Personal Trainer)

Ive been training and studying fitness and nutrition for the better part of the last 3 years. What Clint has put together is a culmination of scientific data and experience and it shows. It is a thoroughly comprehensive guide to diet and training that will help you reach your goals efficiently and in the minimum time possible. It will help you look better, it will help you get stronger but most importantly will give you peace of mind. Personally, results were visible from the first week and it wasnt long before I hit my old powerlifting numbers. If youre gonna buy one product, I highly recommend Reveal The Steel. -Bill Pairaktaridis, GREECE

After Xmas last year I lost my motivation to train and became fat and skinny at the same time. Ive been a Crude Fitness member since the beginning, so when Clint asked if I would trial his Reveal The Steel program, I jumped at the chance, to get back in the game and do something that I love. The program is easy to follow, and the no bullsh*t approach is very refreshing. Im getting to the end of the first stage of the training and my strength has gone through the roof! I am also feeling much happier with my body as the muscle definition is showing through and stubborn areas are being less stubborn. Ive still got 8 weeks to go and I cant wait to get to the end. I highly recommend Clints training principles and diet, even though it goes against the grain. - Harley Tesoriero, AUSTRALIA

Wrapping it up

THANKYOU
Theres so much more to talk about in the full 150 page edition of Reveal The Steel that I just cant do it justice here. If youre ready to make some serious changes to your physique, I suggest you head over to revealthesteel.com and secure your copy. Thanks for reading!
