The Muscle Ladder
Jeff Nippard's 2024 training manual with 20 programs and photo demos of 80-plus exercises
Jeff Nippard's 2024 book, subtitled Get Jacked Using Science. It walks through muscle-building principles for every level of lifter, with photo demonstrations of more than 80 exercises and 20 complete programs that run from two to six training days a week. The author pitched it as a textbook-quality alternative to buying his programs one at a time: full color images, glossy pages, diagrams and an index. Buyers range from first-year lifters to veterans after a structured refresher.
