Navigating the available fitness information online can be confusing and time-consuming at best, and a minefield of misinformation at worst. One inherent problem is that information online is always presented as supremely important and as the next ‘big thing,’ without context or any understanding of priorities.
Enter The Muscle and Strength Pyramid books. The foundational concept of these books is understanding priorities and context, so you can take all the pieces of the puzzle and fit them together into an actionable plan.
• Six sample routines to get you started quickly
Six programs for novice, intermediate, and advanced-level bodybuilders and strength-focussed athletes.
• Break through those training plateaus
With our full progression guidelines and examples, you’ll never be left frustrated and wondering what to do next.
• Learn how to tailor your own programming for faster results
Our quick-start programming guide will show you how to apply all the principles that go into program design.
The chief author of the books, Dr. Eric Helms, has not only the academic understanding of training and nutrition as an active researcher but also extensive practical experience. He has been a personal trainer, powerlifting and bodybuilding coach since 2005, helping hundreds bridge the gap between science and practice to reach their goals.
In addition, he has the minds of Andrea Valdez, and Andy Morgan to ensure the concepts are communicated clearly and effectively and no stone is left unturned. Andrea is a lifelong athlete with extensive coaching experience and her Masters in Exercise Physiology, and Andy is a successful writer and consultant for body composition change with a unique grasp of how to communicate topics to diverse groups, as he produces content for both the Japanese and English speaking fitness communities.
Together, they bring you The Muscle and Strength Training Pyramid, the hierarchical, comprehensive, evidence-based guide that is a must-have for every serious lifter or trainer.

So helpful for treating patients and getting stronger myself. I’ve bought this book for friends who are PTs and personal trainers.

This book is as literal as you can get in the best way. There’s no none sense, and every page is heavily cited with real proven science. This author teaches YOU to think. Which is so much better than blindly trusting some silly program from the internet

I’ve been reading and benefitting from Andy and Eric’s advice via their articles for the last couple of years. I devoured their book, Muscle and Training Pyramid and use it as my go-to reference now. Following their method improved my strength and stamina considerably and safely over the past six months. I highly recommend their books: no fluff, just clear research-based training that is accessible to all.
