'A must-have manual for anyone seeking to improve their body using science-supported methods,' Andrew Huberman, author of global bestseller Protocols , and host of Huberman Lab

For far too long, muscle mass has been viewed as a side effect of exercise rather than as a cornerstone of lifelong health. Now pioneering nutritional scientist and two-time world champion powerlifter Dr Layne Norton reframes muscle as a vital organ in its own right, as deserving of attention as the heart or the brain.

In Gain, Norton explains why muscle matters: the science of building it, the preservation of it as we age, and how to follow efficient, effective training programmes tailored to your goals, experience and schedule.

Muscle plays an essential role in how your body moves and uses energy, while resistance training builds strength and supports lifelong health. The benefits extend well beyond the gym and include how much energy you have, how much discomfort you experience, and how active your sex drive is. More muscle may even help you look younger.

Muscle and strength mean freedom to participate in life with greater confidence, to maintain your independence as you age, and to keep doing the things you love. To start a new hobby or sport, to travel, to pick up your kids or grandkids. To say "yes" with confidence and energy.

Whether you're in the gym every day or haven't touched a weight before, Gain is the indispensable and accessible blueprint for building and maintaining muscle and strength at any age.
