Former Marine sniper and ex-navy Seal, Duffy Gaver is the unsung hero of Hollywood. As a master trainer to the stars, he has transformed the bodies of actors such as Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt, Scarlett Johanson, Brad Pitt and many others. He is a Hero-Maker. Duffy is the owner of his own gym in Santa Monica. He gets the most out of his clients by making them rethink their lives. For Duffy, the fitness industry sells a myth: it's all about the latest and greatest fads. Back in 1965, Larry Scott won the first Mr. Olympia. There was no Nike. No thermogenic products. No supplement industry. How did he do it then With his will, his discipline, his desire. The things that big businesses can't manufacture. The first four minute mile, the first iron man triathlon, and the first world's strongest man all took place before 99% of today's companies even existed. What does this prove None of this stuff is necessary. Inside Hero Maker, you'll find everything you need to transform your body into the heroic body you've always wanted: *Learn how to focus and adapt a busy lifestyle to a fulfilling life of fitness and nutrition *Master the exercises and programming necessary to get you fit *Discover how to set real goals and reach them through will, desire, and discpline *Use some of the same workouts that helped forge heroes out of Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, Brad Pitt, Scarlett Johansson, and so many others. None of these stars bought their way to their impressive physiques; they earned it with old fashioned work and dedication. Gaver will tell you what you need to do to look super heroic, and he will show you how you can do this as well if you put yourself to the task.
