The idea of training has developed from a neanderthalic pursuit of size and strength to a more aspirational type goal, one of good health and functional mass. The once common goal of size augmentation – at any cost – is less prevalent, with the mentality erring more towards keeping fit, athletic – in short, it’s more an issue of health. Despite their continuing focus on mass gain, Maximuscle has developed their range to suit the more tailored modern requirements of all males, from the athletic to the sartorial. JOSHUA’s
With the increase of tailoring (and off the peg tailored garments) there is a fine balance between clothes looking like they fit well, or looking like they used to fit well.
Based on this, the wise man’s routine is based around his existing, extensive, carefully thought out wardrobe – to see it any other way could become a costly endeavour.We thought we’d try a combination of products focused on building lean mass, definition and improving the all important ‘suit silhouette’. This is what we came up with.

THE OUTCOME
The JOSHUA’s routine led to an increase of over 3kg of muscle over the 1 month period and – despite initial reservations – significantly increased muscle definition from Week 2 of training onwards.
Take our advice; those new to the world of weights (or training in general) be recommended to seek advice on the right training regime as this will be the key indicator to your results and will be the difference between strength, stamina, size – and the ratio which you improve them.
It’s true that a Suit can provide a very ‘forgiving’ silhouette, but saying that, we should all aspire to look just as good out of a Suit as we do in one.
