THE SCIENCE

Using our 17 years of experience running Bodybuilding.com and working with the world’s top trainers, athletes, and scientists, we have designed a workout program that will give you real fitness results. We know that if you don’t improve dramatically, you won’t come back, you won’t refer your friends, and we won’t be in business for long. Your transformation is our driving purpose.

The Black Box VR workout is based on the latest time-efficient protocols that have been proven to increase muscle, decrease body fat, build strength, increase cardiovascular endurance, and improve overall health and longevity.

Want proof? Here’s what the published science has to say about the protocols we have implemented:
