The scene between Ben Stiller and the hitchhiker in There’s Something About Mary was the first thing that came to my mind when I first read the book.

Are you aware of the one? The Hitchhiker wants to start his own company with a 7 Minute Abs video to outdo the popular 8 Minute Abs videos.

There is a funny scene.

In 7 minutes, you can get a muscle-produced workout with the presented methods.

Can you?

I would say yes. Are you talking about taking someone off the couch and doing 7 minutes of intense training a day as opposed to zero minutes a day? That person is going to get more muscle than the person who does zero minutes.

As I see it, the real question is if these methods are a viable option for the person wanting maximum gains as quick as possible? Will it, for example, measure up to the many programs recommending in the neighborhood of 3 one-hour intense weekly workouts and dedicated high-calorie eating ?

My answer would be no. Jon Benson seems to agree. Benson doesn’t seem to be claiming a better, faster muscle-building system but rather a more practical one as you get into the ebook.

For himself and many trainers, most training programs are impractical in the long-term.

He argues that a system such as 7MM can be more productive over time because many trainers will get physically and mentally exhausted with typical programs. This exhaustion will cause them to take extended breaks from those training programs where they won’t from 7MM.

There is truth to what he says. I agree that a training program like 7MM might be ideal for some. I don’t think it is offering what the typical reader of this site wants or what is best for them.

7MM isn’t really a complete program. Benson doesn’t touch diet or get into cardio. Or supplements or pre and post-workout. He doesn’t offer exercise tips .

It’s a workout system. It is impractical to expect a lot of trainers to take just this system and achieve anywhere near their potential, like all workout systems that only deliver a workout routine. Significantly changing your body isn’t just about a workout system, it’s about diet and many other factors.

Benson does explain the 7MM system reasonably well. It is interesting, well-researched stuff. There are a lot of pages justifying it to be a credible training method which may or may not be necessary. Vince Delmonte provides some helpful videos to tie it together.

There is some really interesting and valuable stuff there, as well as a lot of time talking about sports psychology. The book was an enjoyable read and I got a lot out of it. I felt a bit disappointed when I was done.

3 of 5 stars. An experienced trainer who is looking for a new, less time-intensive training method may find some value in adding “7 Minute Muscle” to his library.

For the vast majority of trainers, this ebook doesn’t give them the complete knowledge and plan they need to get there.
