Dr Bernarr,

Then the person that stated to me that you ate a pound (a jar) of nut
butter per day was incorrect.

1. muscle is actually very difficult to add on, imo.
2. I have added some muscle, but very little.
3. I do not believe for a second that one can add on a pound of muscle per
week, as you have stated.

my understanding is that Atlas did not build his physique from isometrics.
Isometrics is not very effective in my opinion.
He was selling something.
