LeanGains

Book •
Martin Berkhan's LeanGains outlines an intermittent fasting method paired with resistance training to improve body composition and maintain strength while leaning out.

The approach prescribes daily fasting windows, strategic meal timing around workouts, and a reverse pyramid training structure emphasizing heavy, efficient working sets.

Berkhan's method became influential in the fitness community for demonstrating how meal timing and macronutrient manipulation can support fat loss without sacrificing performance.

The program is pragmatic, emphasizing simplicity and adherence, and resonated with athletes transitioning away from traditional calorie-focused diets.

Over time, LeanGains has been discussed alongside other intermittent fasting approaches and adapted by practitioners for varied goals.
