lol this is the worst advice ever. no you cant get "the same or better results". my god, no wonder people in america buy this crap. you are on hn and you even believe it.
based on the condition tim is in (ie what he looks like), tim ferriss can bench 275 lbs 10x. and he can run a sub 6 minute mile. and yes, that does get him girls. ha ha.
he got that way by writing best selling books that allow him to work out at the gym 4 hours a DAY!
lol. i might be going to hell. but so is he. and its true.
you dont do the same routine every day; you do a 3-day split. I guarantee you if we did a study of 1,000 americans who did 4 hours per day and rotated their weights and cardio vs. Tim's method; 95% would be in much better shape my way. and the 5% who dont cant put on weight.

A great many people (also known as "hard-gainers") will not gain any muscle whatsoever by exercising every day - let alone exercising for 4 hours every day.
If you're a hard-gainer (I am), you will need to:
* Do the right kinds of exercises (squats, deadlifts, bench press, pullups, inverted rows, etc)
* Rest enough in between sessions (2 days between sessions at least)
* Eat enough, including enough protein from a variety of sources
"If you do those things, you will put on muscle no matter what your body type. Exercise 4 hours a day, and you will only put on muscle if you have awesome genetics."
exactly; the same kind of "superhuman" genetics tim ferriss (and me) already have. thing is; if we don't do 4 hr/day, we get fat just like most of America!
