Mike Geary is a muscular guy with bulging biceps, pulsating pecs and astonishing abs all achieved, he says, through the use of his system of scientific workouts and diet.  Reassuringly, he says he can pile on the weight as fast as anyone can, but staying with his system, he has achieved and maintained a sculpted body and ripped abs.  His photos certainly bear this out.

His regime uses a combination of diet guidelines and special exercises with self-motivation tricks to keep the user on the straight and narrow.  No pills, supplements, shakes or bars are needed, and serial dieters will be pleased to learn there is no calorie counting, either.  The price includes the book, a meal planner, a home exercise program, a metabolic calculator guide, DVDs and in addition to the book, he provides a menu planner, instructional DVDs, an exercise program for use in the home, calculator to gauge one’s rate of metabolism and a subscription to his newsletter.

So how does the average American fare using Geary’s system?  The typical Truth About Abs review is a glowing testimonial from a former 100lb weakling who has transformed himself into a hefty hulk with rippling muscles and earns the admiration of every women he passes.  In truth, it is very difficult to find a poor review of the system from anyone who has used it.  Could this be that admitting failure is admitting responsibility?  For like any regime Geary’s product relies on the motivation, self-control and determination of the user.  The customer is the one who must watch what he puts into his mouth, and it is he who must get out of bed, get down to the gym and do the exercises on a regular basis, whether or not he is tired, hung-over or just feeling plain lazy.  The low price of the system – at just $4.95 one of the cheaper products on the market – may also prevent some dissatisfied customers from going to the trouble of blogging about it.

Some reviews mention the fact that belonging to a gym is pretty well a requirement, but as anyone keen on having a toned body is likely to be a habitué of their local gym; this is not really a surprise.

The product is sold through ClickBank, and their top seller rating means that many people are buying – so where are the adverse reviews?

Some reviews do mention the aggressive selling – and Geary’s selling muscles are as well developed as his abs.  Almost any site that mentions the product turns out to be a marketing site or link to Geary’s website, and pop-ups purse the punter who tries to navigate away from the page, trying to get them to change their minds and buy.  But with the product priced so moderately, Geary probably needs to maximize his market to make a reasonable profit from sales.
