Bony to Beastly, the ectomorph transformation program, is officially in BETA (now live)

Posted by W. Shane Duquette

Update: I’ll leave this post alive, but beta was a complete success. Read the full Bony to Beastly story here, and check out the finished program here.

We’ve officially entered closed beta for our upcoming ectomorph transformation program. So far our testers are up by 5-10 pounds of lean mass in the first 2 weeks — pretty good! And we think we’ll be seeing even better results soon as they fully gear into the program.

Our 4 month ectomorph transformation:

Bony to Beastly Ectomorph Transformation

Read about Jared and I’s transformation here.

Two of our beta testers after just one phase (1/4 through the program):

Read about Obe here.

Read about Jeff here.

The program is 5 months long, specifically geared at skinny hardgainers/ectomorphs like us, and works through 4 phases designed to dramatically transform your skinny-boy bod into a powerful athletic physique. The goal is to get you muscle size in a rapid, functional and healthy way — which luckily is also the best way to achieve incredible aesthetics, strength and symmetry. Here’s an illustrated rundown of how our program packs muscle on an ectomorph frame while also fixing up posture (upper lower crossed syndrome):

After the first month alone you should be up 8-12 pounds and both your appearance and health will have drastically improved. By the end you’ll have a powerful masculine physique and a healthy lifestyle.

If this sounds like a pretty sweet deal you might be in luck—we’ve got a few spots left in our final round of beta testing. If that sounds like it’s up your alley here’s what we’d need from you:

1. Before photos, and photos every month for 3-5 months. Jared’s before photo poses are ideal. No fancy cameras or lighting required, but we do need those poses. We’d need a couple measurements too, of your biceps, thigh, waist and shoulder circumference. And we’d need your weight, taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

2. A commitment to hit the gym 3 times a week for 1 hour each session

3. A commitment to follow the nutrition plan to the best of your abilities — you will need to eat a bunch of whole food. Supplements are totally optional. If you’re a vegetarian or a vegan that’s okay too, but it will make things more challenging on your end.

4. Being active on the forum, giving feedback on the program and keeping us up to date with your results, weekly weight gains, and monthly measurements.


In exchange for your promised efforts in the kitchen and gym, and for helping us shape and polish the final product, you’d get:

1. Access to the ebook and everything you’ll need in their raw but nearly complete form

2. Coaching from us to help you work through any trouble areas

3. Access to our brand new online community with us and our other beta testers.

4. 20-30 pounds of muscle in 3-4 months :)

5. You’d be helping us out a ton, and making this product better for all the skinny guys to follow


If you’re interested in joining in now and helping us shape the final product send me an email at shane@foxhoundstudio.com with the photos and measurements outlined above. We’re only looking for skinny ectomorph hardgainers that want to dramatically transform their bodies over the next 3-5 months. This isn’t something where you could pick and choose what to follow, take things at your own pace, and get your results slowly and steadily. The program is certainly flexible enough to allow that, but for the beta testing we want to try and push it to its limits and see how dramatic of a change you can make. We’re in the final stages of beta, so you’d need to be ready to start muscling-up right away, too.

If you fit the bill we’ll send along our content, give you access to all the training videos, and hook you up with a membership on our Bony to Beastly forum.

Ready to get in the best shape of your life and go from Bony to Beastly?

Hope to hear from you!

    We’re at the very very last stages of beta and the program is scheduled to launch before the end of the month! With that said, we’re leaving no determined skinny-man behind! If you fit the beta requirements and are ready to pack on some muscle starting in the next couple days send along those photos and we’ll get you set up :) You’d have to be ready to motor though!

    I am a skinny, long hair dude too dudes. lol, I’m not backspacing that! Anyway, good job on this site gentlemen. There’s lots of good info here. Keep it up and all that good stuff.

    I’m starting (well, I’m not ‘starting it’ just applying it) a program that shows to get massive results in 4 weeks. I know it’s not part of your beta test, but if you want more info on it for personal knowledge, or if you want to make a chapter/post about it, send me an email via the provided (not published) address. If not, no one will learn anything from it other than a few FB friends lol.

    25 yr old, 135 pounds, just under 6′. SKINNY! but i do already have abs, always have. But I attribute that to being skinny/naturally lean.

    P.S. If an email is sent, please make a crazy title and capitalize so I can see it through the junk and spam.

    Hey Timothy,
    I’m glad you’re interested. We’re actually just just finishing the official polished version of the program now! It’s been fully operational in its beta form for a few weeks now and our beta testers are doing an incredible job! Two of them gained over four pounds this week alone!
    We’re hoping to have it fully finished and available for purchase tonight, but if we run into delays then tomorrow at the latest. I’ll shoot you an email when it officially launches :)
    My best,
    Shane

    Hey Shane.

    I was wondering if you could offer some kind of discount as i’m really interested in your program but i don’t have that much spare money at the moment due to some major things going on in my life. I would really appreciate it if you could send me an email!

    Thanks!

    I’m an ectomorph and would really like to gain weight and become fit, but I have kyphosis and I’m afraid if I start lifting weights the problem will get worse… What should I do? Do you think I can start the program?

    That’s a really good question! The answer? Deadlift! (With approval from your doc, of course.)
    Check this out and you’ll see what I mean :)

    Lamar Gant’s example is pretty inspiring.

    Plus, don’t be bummed by your kyphosis – it’s super common. Jared, Marco and I all have it. It’s actually very very rare to find an ectomorph that doesn’t have a curved spine. Our long slim torsos are just asking for it :(

    Hey Prince, you can absolutely join! We aren’t doing beta testing now, and the requirements are much less strict – it’s an actual program now :)

    Hi Shane

    I’ve been reading through your website multiple times and got to some questions.
    I’m also an ectomorph, 150 pounds, 6’06” high and have always been impressed by big guys.
    I’ve been training for like 11 months right now, I gained 5 kilos already and my bodyfat% decreased from 13.7 % to 12.9 %. This all aren’t big results…
    I know that the key to getting bigger and stronger is to eat the right types of food and the right amount of them of course. The thing I am a little afraid of is that all muscles slowly disappear when you stop training them. I may sound like a pessimist and maybe that’s right, but I know myself and I don’t think I’ll still be encouraged to workout in like 3 years. So is it a good idea to bulk then? I’m a bit afraid to start bulking up because my abs will be less visible… I’ve always been impressed by people with a low bodyfat %, without being ‘big’. Several people have advised me not to start cutting because I’d look really meager…
    Is there a way to gain some more weight but also get to like 9 % of bodyfat? I already eat lots of vegetables and fruits and drink 2 litres of water a day.
