We created this stack to do three things:

  1. Transform how you think about diet, nutrition, and training

  2. Teach you exactly what to do in the kitchen and gym to gain lean muscle and lose fat faster than you ever thought possible

  3. Speed up your results with supplements that improve your body composition and health

In short, we want to take you by the hand and walk you through the entire process, from calculating your calories and macros to setting up your meal and training plans to making adjustments based on how your body responds and more.

Let’s take a closer look at everything you get in this package, starting with the supplements.

Whey+ Protein Powder

11,226 Reviews

One of the easiest ways to maximize muscle and strength gain and post-workout recovery is to eat enough protein.

You can get all of your protein from whole foods, of course, but many people supplement with whey for two reasons:

  1. It’s convenient and tasty, which makes it easier to eat plenty of protein.

  2. It’s rich in essential amino acids and well digested and absorbed, which makes it ideal for muscle-building purposes.

The bottom line is whether you’re trying to gain muscle, lose fat, or just maintain your body composition and health, whey protein can help.

That’s why we created Whey+, which isn’t your average whey protein powder . . .

1. Whey+ is 100% whey protein isolate, which is over 90% protein by weight.

Whey protein isolate is the highest quality whey you can buy, and that’s why Whey+ contains 22 grams of protein per serving with only 2-4 grams of carbohydrate and 0-2 grams of fat (depending on flavor).

This means that you don’t have to waste calories (carbs and fat) on your shakes and can eat them, instead.

2. Whey+ is made with exceptionally high-quality milk from small, sustainable dairy farms in Ireland.

Irish dairies produce some of the healthiest, cleanest milk in the world, and we work with farms certified by Ireland’s Sustainable Dairy Assurance Scheme (SDAS), which ensures the farmers adhere to best practices in animal welfare, sustainability, product quality, traceability, and soil and grass management.

This means Whey+ is the perfect choice for clean, high-protein, healthy-for-you protein shakes that are a cut above the rest.

3. Whey+ is the best-tasting all-natural whey protein isolate around.

Seriously.

This stuff is downright delicious even when mixed with just water, and if you want to splurge and mix it with milk or a milk substitute, it’s like dessert.

4. Whey+ is easy on the stomach.

Ever had your stomach inflate like a balloon after drinking a protein shake?

The most common reason for this is the low quality of many of the whey protein powders on the market.

Whey+, on the other hand, is lactose-free and made from some of the highest quality dairy in the world, which means no indigestion, stomach aches, or gassiness.

5. Whey+ is 100% natural.

Whey+ is naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

So, if you want a clean, all-natural, delicious whey protein isolate powder with no chemical junk and cheap fillers . . . you want to try Whey+ today.

Recharge Post-Workout

6,654 Reviews

You’ve probably heard you don’t gain muscle in the gym.

This is true.

And not in a topsy turvy, “it makes sense if you don’t think about it,” Zen koan kind of way.

It’s literally true.

Strictly speaking, everything we do in the gym actually results in the exact opposite of muscle growth—muscle damage and breakdown.

What happens next is the key: recovery. How well our bodies recover from our workouts will determine how much muscle and strength we gain from them.

That means you can't just hammer away at the weights every week. You also have to watch your calories and macros, maintain good sleep hygiene, and avoid overtraining.

You can also speed up your post-workout recovery with supplementation, and that’s why we created Recharge.

It’s a 100% natural post-workout supplement that boosts muscle growth, improves recovery, and reduces muscle soreness.

That is, Recharge helps you get more out of your training (and get in more of it) without running into symptoms related to overtraining.

The reason it’s so effective is simple:

Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.

That means the ingredients and doses in Recharge are based on published scientific research demonstrating real benefits, not the restrictions of razor-thin production budgets or gluttonous profit margins.

In other words, while everyone claims to have the best post-workout supplement on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.

Recharge is also naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

So, if you want to be able to push harder in the gym, recover better, and gain muscle and strength faster . . . you want to try Recharge today.

Pulse Pre-Workout

21,135 Reviews

Do you sometimes lack the energy and motivation to get out of bed or off the couch and into the gym?

Do you sometimes want to hit the snooze button instead of the exercise class?

Are you sometimes just not able to give 100% in your workouts?

No?

You bolt up every day at the crack of dawn and your workouts always flow effortlessly like puke out of a drunk freshman?

Fine then.

We can’t help you. Nobody can help you. May all your Facebook notifications be game invites.

If you’re mortal like the rest of us, however, and could use some help getting fired up, focused, and ready to crush your workouts, Pulse is for you.

It’s a 100% natural pre-workout supplement that increases energy, improves mood, sharpens mental focus, increases strength and endurance, and reduces fatigue.

All you have to do is mix a scoop or two with 8 to 10 ounces of water before your workout, swig it down, and wait for the magic.

The caffeine and theanine will give you a surge of smooth energy and focus, and the beta-alanine, citrulline, betaine, and alpha-GPC will give you bigger pumps and more strength, power, and endurance.

Pulse also contains no harsh or dangerous stimulants, which means you get to enjoy a smooth pre-workout energy rush that pumps you up without burning you out.

The reason it’s so effective is simple:

Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.

That means the ingredients and doses in Pulse are based on published scientific research demonstrating real benefits, not the restrictions of razor-thin production budgets or gluttonous profit margins.

In other words, while everyone claims to have the best pre-workout supplement on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.

Pulse is also naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

So, if you want to feel focused, tireless, and powerful in your workouts . . . and if you want to say goodbye to the pre-workout jitters, upset stomachs, and crashes for good . . . you want to try Pulse today.

Triumph Multivitamin for Women

3,674 Reviews

We believe that everyone—yes, everyone—can benefit from taking a good multivitamin every day.

No matter how “clean” their diet is . . .

No matter how much they exercise . . .

And no matter how hardy their genes are . . .

A high-quality multivitamin can help them in a few ways:

  1. It can plug nutritional “holes” in their diets, which are very common even among people who eat plenty of “healthy” foods.

  2. It can boost intake of certain vitamins and minerals that can benefit health and wellness at higher doses, like B vitamins, zinc, and chromium.

  3. It can provide you with a number of beneficial ingredients that are difficult or impossible to obtain from food, like grape seed extract, acetylcysteine, and CoQ10.

That’s why we created Triumph.

It’s a sport multivitamin that enhances overall health and performance and fights off stress, fatigue, and overtraining.

That is, Triumph helps produce a healthier, happier body that’s more resistant to stress, sickness, and disease.

The reason it’s so effective is simple:

Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.

That means the ingredients and doses in Triumph are based on published scientific research demonstrating real benefits, not the restrictions of razor-thin production budgets or gluttonous profit margins.

In other words, while everyone claims to have the best sport multivitamin on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.

So, if you want to improve your mental and physical performance, boost your resistance to stress, sickness, and disease, and enhance your mood . . . you want to try Triumph today.

Triton Fish Oil

1,264 Reviews

Dietary fat is the new darling of the diet industry.

And that’s not all bad.

Dietary fat helps your body absorb nutrients, create various hormones, keep your skin and hair healthy, and much more.

That’s why it’s a good idea to include foods like olive oil, avocado, nuts, and fish in your diet.

Unfortunately, even if you do that, you’re probably not going to get enough of one type of fat that’s particularly important for your general health and well-being.

It’s called an omega-3 fatty acid, and research shows maintaining adequate intake of omega-3s can benefit you in many ways, including . . .

  • Reduced risk of heart disease
  • More muscle growth
  • Increased cognitive performance
  • Faster fat loss
  • Decreased inflammation
  • Improved mood
  • Reduced muscle soreness after exercise

There’s a problem, though:

It’s hard to get enough of the right types of omega-3 fatty acids through diet alone, and fish oil supplementation is a safe, easy, and healthy alternative.

That’s why we created Triton.

It’s a high-potency, molecularly distilled fish oil with added vitamin E and lemon oil to prevent oxidation, rancidity, and “fish oil burps.”

It’s also produced from deep-water Peruvian anchovies and sardines caught by fisheries approved by Friend of the Sea and meets the stringent purity standards of the European Pharmacopoeia Reference Standards (EPRS), Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), and Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED).

In other words, while everyone claims to have the best fish oil supplement on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.

So, if you want to optimize your physical and mental health performance and help protect your body against a whole host of diseases and dysfunctions . . . you want to try Triton today.

Phoenix Caffeine-Free Fat Burner

3,033 Reviews

If you want to lose fat as quickly as possible, we have good and bad news for you.

The bad news is that no amount of weight loss pills and powders are going to make you lean. Pill popping and powder chugging, even to excess, just isn’t enough.

The good news, however, is if you know how to drive fat loss with proper dieting and exercise, certain supplements can accelerate the process.

That’s why we created Phoenix.

It’s a 100% natural caffeine-free fat burner that helps you lose fat faster in three ways:

  1. It increases your metabolic rate.

  2. It amplifies the power of fat-burning chemicals produced by your body.

  3. It helps reduce hunger and cravings.

That is, Phoenix speeds up your metabolism, enhances fat burning, and reduces hunger and cravings.

In terms of real-world results, when combined with a proper diet and exercise, you can expect to lose up to an additional ½ pound of fat per week by adding Phoenix to your regimen.

That may not sound like much, but when you realize that you can expect to lose 1 to 2 pounds of fat per week with a good diet and exercise program, it’s actually pretty significant (25 to 50% faster fat loss!).

Heck, that’s what you can expect from adding a couple hours of cardio into your weekly routine! Cardio or Phoenix? Hmmm . . . tough choice . . . ;-)

The reason Phoenix is so effective is simple:

Every ingredient is backed by peer-reviewed scientific research and is included at clinically effective levels.

That means the ingredients and doses in Phoenix are based on published scientific research demonstrating real benefits, not the restrictions of razor-thin production budgets or gluttonous profit margins.

In other words, while everyone claims to have the best fat burner on the market, we can actually back it up with real science and real numbers.

Phoenix also contains no caffeine or other harsh or dangerous stimulants, which means you get to enjoy faster fat loss without unwanted side effects like jitters, upset stomachs, or nausea.

So, if you want to lose fat easier and faster without having to pump yourself full of harsh stimulants or harmful chemicals . . . you want to try Phoenix today.

20 Meal Plans for Aggressive Fat Loss and Lean Bulking

Guess what?

You don’t have to follow a boring, bland “bodybuilding diet” to get the body you really want.

Yes, that means you can forget the plates of chicken and rice, piles of steamed vegetables, pails of microwaved oatmeal, and pounds of flavorless potatoes.

You don’t have to obsess over “eating clean,” either.

Yes, you should eat fruits and vegetables to stay healthy, but no, you don’t have to swear off sugar or grains or anything else, really.

More good news:

When you know how to diet properly, losing fat and gaining muscle becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say . . . enjoyable.

Imagine . . .

  • Eating delicious and filling meals every day
  • Never feeling starved or stuffed
  • Having great energy levels and workouts

Well, that’s exactly how it should be.

You see, there’s an old saying that goes like this:

“The best diet is the one you can stick to.”

There’s a lot of truth there.

It captures the essence of successful dieting: sticking to the plan well and long enough to get and maintain the results you want.

Notice the emphasis on sustainable results that you can maintain.

That’s the real goal—not rapidly losing weight with a crash diet and then ballooning back to your previous self (or worse).

Instead, we want to build our best bodies ever and enjoy it for the rest of our lives. And we want to do it without subjecting ourselves to tedious, difficult “diets,” and without developing an eating disorder.

And that requires eating foods we actually like. If you take all the joy out of eating, it’s only a matter of time before you run out of willpower and go back to your “non-dieting” ways.

This is why the majority of mainstream diet advice simply doesn’t work.

And why we created these custom meal plans for men and women of all ages, sizes, and circumstances.

Here’s exactly what you get . . .

10 “aggressive fat loss” meal plans to help you lose fat rapidly . . . not muscle.

The most common mistake people make when trying to lose fat is eating too much. If you eat too much, you’ll fail to lose any significant amount of fat. Full stop.

Another less understood mistake is eating too little. Eat too little and you’ll lose fat but you’ll also lose a significant amount of muscle, which is the primary way people wind up “skinny fat.”

The name of the game, then, is finding the “sweet spot” where you’re eating just enough to lose fat rapidly without losing muscle.

That’s why we created these aggressive fat loss meal plans—to show you how to do it right.

Regardless of your current weight and goal, there’s a plan for you that’ll drive fat loss without sacrificing muscle.

Additionally, these meal plans provide plenty of protein and carbohydrate and also contain a variety of enjoyable foods that help blunt hunger, control cravings, and prevent micronutrient deficiencies.

10 lean bulking meal plans to help you gain maximum muscle and minimal fat.

Many bulking programs are like dietary sledgehammers, pushing you to eat downright absurd amounts of food every day.

The idea is you have to “eat big to get big,” as the old saying goes.

And there’s some truth here—you do indeed need to eat more than usual to gain muscle effectively—but if you take this too far, you start gaining too much fat.

This not only spoils your “aesthetics,” but also hinders muscle growth and accustoms your body to higher levels of body fatness, which is more or less the exact opposite of what you’re trying to achieve when bulking.

Instead of pigging out to gain muscle faster, then, you should eat just enough to boost muscle gain but not so much that you gain more fat than you should. This is known as “lean bulking.”

And that’s why we created these lean bulking meal plans—to show you how to do it right.

Regardless of your current weight and goal, there’s a plan for you that provides optimal calorie and macronutrient targets for enhancing muscle growth with minimal fat gain.

Additionally, these meal plans contain a variety of enjoyable foods that help you eat enough without having to force-feed yourself or neglect nutrition for the sake of getting enough calories.

For instance, they have short descriptions (with pictures!) of proper form on the major exercises, tell you how to warm up properly, what rep ranges to work in, how to progress on the programs, how long to rest in between sets, and more.

All things covered in Thinner Leaner Stronger, of course, but helpful to have at hand for quick reference when you’re in the gym.

Third, the workouts are laid out in a clean, user-friendly design that’s easy and intuitive to use.

All you have to do is start with the first exercise at the top of the list, write down your weight and reps for each set, move on to the next exercise, and so on.

This also makes it easy to review your performance, whether a couple weeks or months ago, to ensure you’re making progress.

How to Use This Stack

Each of our supplements come with directions, of course, but there are several additional things you should know to get the most out of this stack.

Here they are…

Whey+

Whey protein powder can be used anytime to help you meet your protein needs, but the ideal ratio between whole food and supplemental protein is still an area of scientific ambiguity.

Anecdotal evidence, however, suggests that getting at least 50% of your daily protein from whole food sources is a good rule of thumb for the purposes of healthy dieting.

Whey protein powder is particularly effective when eaten after training due to its rapid digestion and abundance of leucine.

Simply put, the faster protein is digested and the more leucine it has, the more muscle growth it stimulates.

This is why research has proven that whey is a highly effective form of post-workout protein.

And this is why we recommend that you have one to two scoops of Whey+ after your workouts, which will provide your body with a large enough dose of protein to maximize muscle protein synthesis.

Depending on when you train, you may benefit from having whey protein before you work out as well.

Studies have shown that eating protein before training both does and doesn’t enhance post-workout muscle growth, which leaves many people scratching their heads.

Well, an important factor to consider is when study subjects had last eaten protein before eating their pre-workout meals.

You see, when you eat a meal, it takes your body anywhere from 2 to 6 hours to fully absorb the nutrients it provides.

Thus, if you had eaten a meal with a considerable amount of protein just an hour or two before working out, your plasma amino acid levels (the levels in your blood) would be quite high come workout time.

When this is the case, it’s unlikely that eating more protein before working out would help you build more muscle.

On the other hand, if it had been several hours since you last ate protein, and especially if you hadn’t eaten much in that last meal, your plasma amino acid levels would likely be low come workout time.

In this case, research shows that eating protein (and thus elevating plasma amino acid levels) before training can help you build muscle faster.

This is why we recommend that you have one scoop of Whey+ before your workouts if you haven’t eaten at least 20 grams of protein within the previous two hours.

Recharge

Recharge is best taken after workouts with your post-workout meals, which would ideally contain both protein and carbohydrates.

The reason for this is research shows that creatine is most effective when taken after workouts and with carbs.

If, for whatever reason, that doesn’t work for you, then the second-best time to take Recharge would be with any meal containing carbs.

Take Recharge every day, whether you train or not, to keep intramuscular creatine levels elevated.

It’s worth noting that you don’t have to cycle Recharge.

When you supplement with creatine, it’s true that your body reduces its natural production.

That may sound ominous but don’t mistake creatine for steroids, which can shut down (and even permanently damage) your body’s natural production of certain hormones.

Ironically, producing creatine is a demanding process and reducing this burden may even be healthful. And if you cease supplementation with creatine, your body resumes its normal production.

Pulse

Pulse is a pre-workout supplement, which clearly indicates when it should be taken, but here’s what else you should know:

  • Although most people use a full serving before all workouts, some like to use ½ of a serving before lighter workouts and a full serving before harder ones.
  • If you’re eating a pre-workout meal (training in a “fed” state), take Pulse 20 to 30 minutes before working out to give it time to “kick in.”
  • If you’re working out in a fasted state, take Pulse 15 minutes before training.
  • You don’t have to cycle Pulse but if you want to maintain optimum caffeine sensitivity, limit your intake to no more than 400 milligrams per day and dramatically reduce your intake to as low as possible (nil, ideally) 1 to 2 days per week.
  • The more days you take Pulse per week, the more likely you are to reap the muscle-related benefits of beta-alanine (due to the accumulation of carnosine in your muscles).
  • Due mainly to the cognitive and mood-enhancing benefits of caffeine and theanine, many people like to use Pulse in place of other caffeinated beverages as a “pick me up.”

Triumph

Your body can only absorb so much of a given nutrient in one sitting. Excess amounts are disposed of in various ways.

As the goal of taking a multivitamin isn’t merely ingesting nutrients but absorbing and using them, we recommend that you take ½ of a serving of Triumph early in the day and another ½ of a serving 3 to 6 hours later.

Most people take Triumph with breakfast and dinner, and doing this ensures they’re not providing their bodies with more of any individual nutrient than they can effectively process.

You can further improve absorption by taking Triumph with or after meals containing dietary fat.

Some of the molecules in Triumph are fat soluble, meaning they are absorbed into fat, which is then transported throughout the body and utilized.

Taking Triumph with meals also prevents the nauseous feeling you can get when you take a potent multivitamin on an empty stomach.

Triton

Take Triton at the same time as you take Triumph, which should be after one of your larger meals of the day.

This will help with the absorption of the nutrients in Triton and prevent any nausea or gastric distress that some people experience when taking fish oil on an empty stomach.

Phoenix

Start with one serving of Phoenix per day to assess your body’s tolerance.

If there are no non-optimum side effects (which there shouldn’t be), you can take up to two servings per day, separated by at least a few hours.

If you combine Phoenix with caffeine, it will help you lose fat faster by further elevating your basal metabolic rate (several of the ingredients in Phoenix work synergistically with caffeine).
