Starting a new training regimen. Big Beyond Belief

Well, seeing as no one had it, I bought the e book.

I also researched over at t-nation of people who are and have used it.

Folks, this program is ridiculously hard but extremely rewarding. One of the two recommended diet to do is the anabolic diet. A guy on the forums at t nation is using the anabolic diet and he has gained 22 pounds in about 4 weeks. That, and he hasn't gotten fatter, according to him. He was at one time squatting low numbers to now he is squatting 308 for 13-15 reps. There is a video to prove it.

This may be the answer to our prayers.

i have heard good things about this program, but 22 pounds in 4 weeks without an increase in bodyfat is damn near impossible. even on the sauce

? Stronger does not always mean bigger. Look at power lifters who are at light weights, they lift huge amounts of weight, but arent always very big. For example leon josaitis, he lifts in the 165 class and has lifts of Bench:480 , Squat:625 and Dead: 500. Yet he's only  165, 175 is the heaviest he has ever been.
Building muscle is all about getting the pump, and maximizing stress on the muscle via several different factors during a session(reps, speed of reps, form,, exercise selection, volume, intensity etc).

To say what you said seems to be a bit ignorant, sorry....
Plus in case you didnt notice the rep range goes anywhere from 4 to 15 reps during a set, so it sounds like its incorporating all ranges and not just a standard, 4-6 range or 10-15 range.

Alrighty then, here's a quotation from Chris Aceto on the topic of strength and size:
 
"Here's the formula: More strength equals more tension on the muscle equals more growth." -- Chris Aceto
 
So you must also think Chris Aceto is "a bit ignorant" as well, huh?  I mean, hey, he has only been a consultant to Jay Cutler when he won Mr. Olympia two years in a row.  He mustn't know what he's talking about, or does he?
 
You see, you used powerlifters as an example, but that's a poor example because they lift with just 2 or 3 reps, which doesn't keep the muscles under tension long enough. 
 
I will repeat:  Increase your strength (as a bodybuilder) and you increase your size.  The formula works.  Give it a try!
