"It's enough to make a grown man cry, and it did," says fitness expert Anthony Ellis of Mark McGwire's testimony before Congress on the subject of illegal drug use. "He almost lost it when talking about teenagers who committed suicide after doing steroids."

Like McGwire, Ellis was deeply affected by the heart-breaking stories told by Ray and Denise Garibaldi and Don Hooton, parents of two teen-age boys whose suicides have been linked to steroid use. But unlike McGwire who many believe was himself a steroid user and now doing too little too late to discourage young men from abusing them, Ellis is taking a proactive approach with Gaining Mass!, a natural, healthy alternative for adolescents and adults of both sexes who are struggling to put on weight.

Gaining Mass! is a complete, step-by-step training and nutritional program for hardgainers. Based in nature not chemistry, Gaining Mass! is written for beginners, but contains cutting-edge information that will benefit even the most experienced fitness follower. Helping them to gain weight and build muscle mass. It's appropriate for athletes trying to get their game on, for armchair quarterbacks who want to look and feel better and, says Ellis, "It's for anyone who has ever felt the pain of being skinny."
