Coming Attractions At MuscleHack

by Mark McManus on April 8, 2013

coming attractionsI’ve some exciting plans for the rest of 2013!

I’ll list this year’s coming attractions below and I’d like your feedback too.

bulletpoint Firstly, I’m aiming to release an updated version of The Arms Blast Experiment before the end of April 2013.

Not only has the workout been improved, but the book will also come with a video of me doing the Arms Blast itself. This will clear up any confusion regarding the finer details of the routine. It’ll also act as a great motivational tool for you!

I’ve re-written the book as well. It is more thorough in its explanation of why it actually works so well. Simply put, it’s awesome!

As always, anyone who has previously bought this product (and hasn’t subsequently unsubscribed from the mailing list) will get the new book FREE. So just because a new version will be released, don’t let that stop you buying the current version if you want it now. You’ll get an email as soon as the new book is ready for download.

bulletpoint Somewhere between May and June 2013 Total Six Pack Abs 3 will come out! The best damn program for getting ripped is getting updated.

While there will be no fundamental changes to the diet because it’s as solid as a rock, the workout is getting a makeover!

Again, all previous buyers will get it FREE, so don’t hesitate to buy the current version if you want to start getting shredded today. There’s nothing worse than having a gut when we’re coming into summertime.

bulletpoint There will be further updates to THT. Version 5.2 will probably be released in May 2013.

bulletpoint You may very well see THT in the iBooks store (free). I’m working with a guy now to make that happen. I’ll keep you posted!

bulletpoint You may also see Total Six Pack Abs on Amazon for sale sometime this year. After the next update of the book, I’ll be approaching Amazon about getting it on their site as a Kindle book. I think it would look great on the new Kindle Fire tablet. :)

bulletpoint MuscleHack needs a new app! Since android is the most popular operating system, my preference would be to get this out on Android (although sooner or later I’d need to make this available for iPhone users too). Can YOU help with this? Maybe if you don’t have the expertise personally, do you know someone who does? I can tell you that it it will be a popular app and would look great on your CV.

The app will include all articles on the blog, but more importantly it needs to be able to log THT workouts. So we need to have the workout logs in there with users able to record their reps and weights. Over time it should be able to plot the user’s strength progressions on a graph to give visual feedback and motivation.

It would also need to be customizable since MuscleHackers change exercises every so often. They also may want to amend rest times between sets and so on. The app will be FREE for all users.

Note: There is a current MuscleHack iPhone app you can get here.

bulletpoint (Possible) Jacked ‘N’ Ripped ‘might’ be released as a book before the end of the year. I stress ‘might’  here. It would be a book and calculator software program. The thing is, I’d love to get this information into more hands.

With having had a few intakes of clients now, I’ve got a feel for the types of questions that arise, and any possible tweaks that people need based on their lifestyle. Therefore, it may be possible for me to release this program as a book that will be capable of covering all bases for all readers.

It will be cheaper, since there won’t be any personalized instruction from me on offer (as it won’t be needed). Anyone who has previously been on the program will be the book free of charge.

And there will be more great articles and videos as always. Stay tuned!

So, if you can help out, or you just want to leave me some feedback, leave a comment below.

Your bud,

Mark

Hi Mark

I have already previously purchased ‘arms blast’ and ‘tspa’ so look forward to the updated versions.
Also think that it would be fantastic if ‘jacked’n'ripped’ were to be available as a book, as its only the price thats holding me back from purchasing at the moment.

4 Shane April 8, 2013 at 1:35 pm

Mark,

I can help you with the Android app. Where shall I email my details to?

5 Fred Harding April 8, 2013 at 1:36 pm

Hi Mike

“You may also see Total Six Pack Abs on Amazon for sale sometime this year. After the next update of the book, I’ll be approaching Amazon about getting it on their site as a Kindle book. I think it would look great on the new Kindle Fire tablet.”

There is no need to approach Amazon about having a book on their site as you can easily DIY with Kindle Writer, a professional software program that I wrote and which is now used by hundreds of authors. Just visit the website above.

Great News! Can’t wait for the new TSPA and THT. Your programs have done wonders for me and your information I find very accurate, useful, and when “taken as prescribed,” is all anyone ever needs. Keep Rockin’ Mark!

Hello Mark,

Could you give me more details (including the deadline) about the new android app you need? I am a software engineer and have the expertise for sure.
I assume it would be an application close to this one: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/musclehack/id393122161?mt=8

Android App:

I have thought of this many times and did start an Android app a while back – I did enough work to lay out the frame work and start on the coding portion. There are an unlimited number of ideas that can be explored so it will be important to have a core team that limits feature creep and controls the high level pieces. I believe this is a project that a team of folks could do remotely.

The two more obvious things I realized when working on this previously is that you need a database to store results and to store workout programs. SQLite is a viable choice for both – and SQLite has DB tools for manipulation outside the Android app – so you could edit on Linux, MAC or Windows and distribution to the Android clients. Once you have a solid DB design, the rest is user interface and it is something that a good artist or UI person could do independent of the code.

I’d be interested in assisting on this task -but would prefer we have a small committee of folks to define the DB structure and maybe UI before things start moving.

An app for windows 8 would be good as well
dont use apple ha!!!!!!!!!!

10 sufyan April 8, 2013 at 3:06 pm

Hi mark,
It would be nice if there were some articles and stuff for teens specifically :)

11 Stephane April 8, 2013 at 3:33 pm

An Android App would definitely be sweet.
Especially for exercises references. Maybe with basic image or video.

Great work,
Stephane

12 Muhammad Fawaz April 8, 2013 at 4:33 pm

HAHA WTH I totally didn’t realize that The End joke was published on the first of April. Well I didn’t get sad for nothing, it’s made today’s post bring 1000000x more joy than if I hadn’t been tricked lol.

13 Ayman April 8, 2013 at 4:34 pm

Awsome news Mark. I personally love your work and have purchased all your products in the past. Glad to know we will ge these products on release andappreciate all the good work you are putting into these fabulous resources. Oh; going digital is the name of the game and will difinitleycomplete the cricle.

14 Mark McManus April 8, 2013 at 4:56 pm

@Shane. Thanks, man. I have your email address. I’ve a few people offering to do it. I’ll may be in touch if required.
@Fred. And will it appear on Amazon.com and co.uk? How does it get on there without going through Amazon? Can I simply convert a PDF into the kindle format?
@Cedric. Yes it would be similar to that app. Possibly without the calculators. But the main thing is having the ability to track and customize THT workouts. I’ll be in touch.

15 Mark McManus April 8, 2013 at 5:02 pm

@Ricky Houghton. Thanks for that. I’m just looking at the people offering at the moment and I’ll be in touch.
@sufyan. Teens should train the same as the rest of us if the goal is the same.
@Muhammad LOL ;)

16 thi ha April 8, 2013 at 9:03 pm

If the app happens to be built on Tatanium SDK, I may be a little help.

17 Jim April 8, 2013 at 10:32 pm

Seven pieces of Awesomeness! Muscle Hack just keeps getting better and better. You my man are pure Awesome!

18 Mark McManus April 8, 2013 at 11:04 pm

@thi ha. To be honest pal, I don’t even know what that means lol. But thanks!
@Jim. I try, my friend. I try ;)

19 Graham April 8, 2013 at 11:25 pm

Hey Mark,

Keep it real!

Real research and data, real results = Real awesome!

Really looking forward to the future!

Graham.

20 Michal April 8, 2013 at 11:56 pm

Oh thank the muscle gods we were right about the April Fool’s post REALLY being a joke!

This is fantastic news! And also Mark I am a TSPA2er and am currently in week two of the process, is there any information you can impart upon me right now from TSPA3 so that my cut could go better before you actually release the book? (My cut will hopefully be over by then).

Also, could you post a video of yourself using the fat calipers to provide the best way to get an accurate measurement? Thank you and keep it up!!

21 Igor April 9, 2013 at 12:23 am

@Ricky, I agree, if it would be a free app, maybe the code could be on git hub or similar, so other people could help building the app, I know I would :) am not that much in android development, just starting, but ninja in web development :D lol

@Mark, awesome man, great news, great stuff as always, keep it up, a.t.b

22 Myra April 9, 2013 at 1:15 am

This all sounds really great, Mark. Thanks for everything you put into your site to benifit us! I’m very grateful! Have a great week!

23 Zahra Brown April 9, 2013 at 2:28 pm

Self-publishing on Amazon means you must price the book the same elsewhere. The Amazon bots will automatically set a price match if they see the free ebook on Apple’s site – it’ll go to free on Amazon.

Yes, it’ll be on all Amazon sites, but the royalty varies according to where the customer is i.e. 35% or 70%. You can use other websites too including Kobo, Smashwords and Barnes and Noble (royalties vary from 25% to 85%). It’s easy to self-publish. Email me if you need help.

Looking forward to the next book updates. I really need them right now…

24 Mark McManus April 9, 2013 at 2:44 pm

@Myra. Thanks :D
Thanks, everyone
