The Guides
BUILD FIRST. Strength System -8.5"x11" full color paperback format
A Complete Guide to Train Smart and BUILD Metabolism for Lasting Body Change
The core strength training program within the BUILD FIRST System in expanded detail.
A structured, 7-day, full-body Foundation training schedule to build lean strength and metabolic capacity. Complete with engine capacity testing, equipment lists, nutritional guidance and full exercise instruction with progressions and color diagrams for every fitness level.
No gym required — everything is designed for home use with a set of adjustable dumbbells, a workout bench and a doorway pull-up bar.
This is the training engine the entire system is built around.
BUILD FIRST. Food Guide -8.5"x11" full color paperback format
How to Work With the Protective Biology System to Stabilize Intake for Lasting Change Without Dieting
The BUILD FIRST approach to nutrition — practical, non-restrictive, and built around nutritional food quality rather than calorie counting restriction.
A detailed framework for how to eat for a better, stronger, healthier metabolism, including high-value food choices, nutritional value charts, meal timing, protein distribution, and how to stabilize intake. Comprehensive guidance that supports metabolic growth and stable body change without triggering the famine response, and biological rebound that conventional dieting always produces.
For anyone who wants to understand how to support their goals and stability with food.
BUILD FIRST. Beyond ReBUILT -8.5"x11" full color paperback format
The Six Pathways to Sculpt, Refine and THRIVE within a Rebuilt and Stable Body
The post-build guide for readers who have completed the BUILD FIRST Foundation System and refine their new body toward specific visual preferences or performance goals.
Covers all six pathway combinations available to a stable metabolic engine — simply maintain and live freely, refine toward leaner, build toward more muscle, reduce muscle, pursue a softer appearance, or train for athletic performance.
A refinement system built alongside the complete 2 and 3 day maintenance schedules, the direction selection framework, and the reference for managing disruptions without losing progress.
BUILD FIRST. Kids + Teens -8.5"x11" full color paperback format
How to Work With the Protective Biology System to BUILD Lifelong Strength and Metabolic Stability

Covers strength-first habits, healthy relationships with food, age-appropriate training guidance, and the developmental framework for building metabolic stability that lasts a lifetime.
For parents who want to give their children the foundation they they can reliably build upon as they grow into adults.
BUILD FIRST. Big Muscle -8.5"x11" full color paperback format
A Complete Guide to Building Serious Muscle with Protective Biology
