How did Timothy Ferriss add 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, without steroids, and with 4 hours of total gym time?

After running intense tests on himself so he could learn how to control the human body the way a hacker does a computer, Tim noticed that small effort, applied at the right places will give you outsized results. To add muscle quickly, or make other rapid health gains, all he had to is put effort in those key places.

I invited him to Mixergy to talk about The 4-Hour Body, which has over 500 pages of practical advice based on his findings. But I also wanted to learn HOW he did his research, so you could take his methods and apply them to any goal were you want to find the critical small steps that generate outsized results.
