About Dor
I was a skinny kid who always wanted to be bigger and stronger, to look like my idols: superheroes. That is what got me passionate about strength training. I kept learning, and I became a coach.
After all these years I noticed something about myself: I never felt that someone coaching me was necessary, and it can be a waste of money and time. I prefer to gather all the relevant knowledge and apply it myself. And I know there are a lot of people just like me, independent people who don't need a personal trainer and can learn and apply by themselves.
If that's you, these e-books are for you. From all my years of experience and the knowledge I gained along the way, I gathered everything you need into two e-books, simple to learn and apply, so you can unlock your full potential yourself.
Why these e-books
These e-books don't hand you a plan to follow blindly. They teach you how training and eating actually work, so you can build and adjust your own.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars a year on personal training, get my science-based e-books for about a couple of dozen dollars, learn it, and apply it yourself, saving hundreds of dollars a year. Everything is gathered in one place, simple and easy to read and digest.
Knowing why a principle works lets you write your own programme and fix it when life gets in the way.
Every claim is numbered and linked to the study behind it, collected in the References chapter.
The e-books are meant to teach you everything so you can do it on your own. If something is still unclear after reading, contact me and I will answer your question.

That's true, it's all out there. But with my knowledge and experience I know there is a lot of misinformation and contradiction on the internet, and it's easy to be misled. I know what's right, and everything here is science-based. I also packed it in a simple, easy-to-digest way, with examples, so you can learn it and apply it yourself.
No. The goal of the e-books is that you can write and adjust your own plan. Everything you need to do that is inside.
Yes. Claims are numbered and linked to the supporting studies, which you can browse in the References chapter.
