The Alpha Male Challenge

Alpha Male Challenge: The 10-Week Plan to Burn Fat, Gain Muscle & Build True Alpha Attitude is a guide that will help men to become more successful in every aspect of their lives by reclaiming their masculine edge.

James Villepigue, a certified personal trainer and best-selling author of the Body Sculpting Bible series, and Rick Collins, a certified personal trainer and former competitive bodybuilder, are the creators of this program.

It is based on what the authors have learned through their many years of experience, in combination with insights from some of the top experts in exercise physiology, sports nutrition and psychology.

The authors say that a true Alpha Male is not a tough guy or bully but a gentleman with confidence and modern enlightenment. They state, “When you really think about it, shouldn’t every man’s goal be not only to look more heroic, but also to be more heroic?”

The Alpha Male Challenge will not only help men to reshape their physical bodies and improve their health but will also support positive changes in attitude that will lead to greater success in other areas of life including careers and relationships.

Alpha Male Diet Basics

The program involves three components: diet, exercise and attitude.

The dietary aspect of the program, which is described as the Alpha Fuel Solution, is basically a Paleo style diet that has been adjusted in accordance with cutting edge research. In general terms it is a high protein, high fiber, moderate carbohydrate diet that can be adapted to support both maximum fat loss and muscle gain.

Once a week men are permitted a feast meal, where they are rewarded for their Alpha male discipline, and can eat ‘like a mere mortal man’.

The Alpha Male includes the MaleScale assessment questionnaire that is used to evaluate the physical and mental attributes that define a true Alpha Male. Men are then instructed in how to develop the Four C’s of Alpha Attitude: commitment, confidence, courage, and conscience.
