An open letter to everyone who wants a body that looks strong, healthy, and vital

If you have ever wondered how to get a body like a Classical Greek sculpture, without so much as looking at a steroid or other illicit substance, this short letter explains how.

Here’s the deal: I am looking to guide a small handful of people through my muscle building course.

Here's how it works

This is a private (i.e. one to one) affair wherein I will personally lead you through the three mandatory phases and, if you are ready for it, fourth phase of my course over the next six months.

The course is called “The Greek Physique” because the programmes and approaches inside are engineered to produce a body reminiscent of what you see in Classical Greek sculpture.

All of the methods I will teach you have stood the test of time (for knocking on the door of a century, in some cases)… and… are what I have personally used at various points during my fifteen or so years of training.

Obviously, the goal is to get you building muscle. But not haphazardly or in a way that causes you to accumulate a bunch of unsightly body fat. 

Instead, you will follow a structured approach to enhance your strengths and shore up your weaknesses to create a balanced, healthy physique (the kind of body that is universally attractive to thinking people).

What is “a balanced, healthy physique”?

  • Broad shoulders and a narrow waist to create an attractive V-taper,
  • Powerful legs featuring well-developed thighs, hamstrings, and glutes,
  • Strong arms to fill out your shirt sleeves,
  • Properly proportioned “little muscles” like calves and forearms  (more important than you think), and,
  • Lean yet slightly “soft” abdominals that can be maintained without following a soul-sucking diet.

If these are what you want, then the methods I will teach you are the way to go about getting them, in my obviously biased opinion.

That said…

I can’t guarantee you’ll get what I have just described, even if you follow my instructions perfectly

So if you are looking for a magical system that works for everyone who tries it, every single time without fail, you will not find it here I am afraid.

Moreover, it will almost certainly take you more than six months to get a physique you are truly happy with. If you are not OK with that, there is nothing I nor anyone else with a shred of integrity can do to help you until you change your mind. 

Why cap the programme at six months if it’s probably going to take longer to get the desired result?

Answer:

Six months is enough time to teach you what you need to know and support you with putting it into practice, so you are fully equipped to carry on progressing independently for many years.

Speaking of the support, you will get:

  • A monthly video or telephone call (your choice) with me to see how you are getting on, adjust your programme, answer questions, and so on.
  • A free six month subscription to my monthly Real Paper newsletter (usual price £120/month),
  • My weekly “Monday Message” (a short email every week to check in),
  • Direct and unlimited access to me via your choice of text, email, and voice note for any questions I am qualified to answer, video critiques of your form, instructional videos, etc, and,
  • A printed copy of the course (sells for £750)

OK, that’s everything so here’s,

What to do if you want to join

A seat on this round of The Greek Physique costs £1000 for everything I have just described. You can pay in full or in two equal instalments of £500 (one before we begin and one before the start of the third month) via bank transfer only.

You are entitled to claim a full refund for any reason (or no reason) within 14 days of purchase per UK consumer law. But if you are even thinking of availing yourself of this right, the course is not for you. (It means you don’t trust me, yourself, or both so won’t relax into the work.)

Lastly, remember I am only taking on a small number of new clients. So if you’re interested, I’d get to applying now, before something else steals your attention.

To get started, please leave your details below. I’ll get back to you swiftly with answers to any questions you have and an invoice. Once paid, we can begin.

Yours,

Phil Tyreman

P.S. Both men and women will benefit from the book, as there is no meaningful difference between how the two sexes ought to train. 

What differs is the way the results manifest.

For example, women will always gain less muscle in their upper body due to the way it is distributed (meaning it’s basically impossible for a woman to get “bulky” unless they abuse illegal drugs).

Bottom Line: If a healthy, balanced, and attractive body is what you want, The Greek Physique will show you how to get it. 

To proceed, leave your details below, and I’ll get back to you personally and promptly. Thank you.
