I first started to lift weights in grade 11 or 12.
Being a skinny high schooler I wanted to beef up and build muscle. So I joined a gym down the gym from school.
Like any high school kid I was clueless. I didn’t have the faintest idea of what I was doing. Nothing was organized or planned out. As long as I did bench press and curls I thought all was good.
Guess this is what I thought would happen… (more…)

Hard to believe it’s Monday. The weekend is already behind us.

Really!
A carb that’s going to kill you.
The craziness doesn’t stop.
Almost instant fat loss and muscle building.
If it was that easy to burn fat and build muscle, there wouldn’t be enough magazines for everyones cover shot.
When I see headlines like the ones above. It makes me think of what McConaughey said in Wolf of Wall Street…
“Fugayzi, Fugahzi, it’s a wahzi, it’s a woozie, it’s a fairy dust.”
I don’t think I’m alone in seeing these messages. I willing to bet you’ve seen, read or heard a headline like those above. Probably even today. They’re everywhere.
The internet, magazines, and TV are littered with these false claims.
Take a look at the popular Dr Oz show. He’s made many weight loss claims…
“magic in a bottle”
“it’s a weight loss miracle”
“The Holy Grail of Weight Loss”
None of his diet miracle remedies had the scientific proof to back up the claims. Eventually Oz was questioned about the use of his flowery language.
Bold Promises
There are too many of these fitness fugazies running around promoting false claims and magic potions.
Their slick marketing and bold promises. Though, lies is more fitting. These lies offer hope where there was just frustration. With judgement clouded by hope, it becomes difficult to know what’s real and what’s well packaged snake oil.
We want to believe.
If you’re a skinny guy who struggled to build muscle. It’s nice to think that there’s a secret out there. One that is closely guarded. One so important only a few have access to. One that can help you gain 41 pounds of lean muscle mass in just 24 weeks. (<– real heading) Allowing you to go from scrawny to brawny.
Or
If you’ve struggled to lose weight.
You’ve tried everything but the weight keeps coming back. Then you see a fitness fugazie (in disguise) swear by Garcinia Cambogia. He tells you that this holy grail of weight loss can burn your stubborn fat.
Wait, it gets better…
you don’t need to exercise or go on a diet. The supplement does all the work.
Difficult To Spot
These fitness fugazies are difficult to sniff out. They blend in so well.
They look like you, me, and everyone else.
The worst offenders are masters of disguise. They take on roles that add an extra element of deception.
Some will get in incredible shape to look the part.
Some end up on TV and become celebrity trainers.
Others hide behind initials surrounding their name, like PhD or Dr.
This extra layer of deception makes sniffing them out that much more difficult.
How To Spot A Fitness Fugazi
There a couple of ways to know if you’re dealing with one of these imposters. It takes a little work and surveillance.

Their snake oil comes in all different shapes and sizes.
Sometimes it’s a hormone.
Sometimes it’s a rare rediscovered herb.
Sometimes the get creative and introduce a new exercise gadget.
Whatever their product. It’s always the latest and greatest…
“the quickest way to add lean muscle without the fat”
“the newest, fastest fat buster”
Consistency
Weight loss isn’t complicated. Muscle building is straightforward. But neither are easy.
There’s nothing magical about burning fat or building muscle. And there aren’t any shortcuts. It takes and effort. Anyone telling you otherwise is a fugazi.
Avoid the them. Stick with the basics. It may not be sexy. It’s going to be hard work….
But it will work.
If you want a quick fix you’ll have to look elsewhere.
If you’re looking for a system that does work. One that has helped thousands of people build lean muscle, lose weight, keep it off, and look better then ever.

Were you surprised?
The 79th NFL draft has come and gone. There were a few unexpected surprises as things didn’t go as planned for a few future pros.
After a lot of hype Johnny Football gets passed over as top pick. The A&M star was pushed deep down in the first round.
Rising to the top was a kid from South Carolina. His speed, power, size and strength made him the #1 draft pick for 2014.
The Houston Texans had the first overall pick. This is who they choose…
Standing at 6’5″ and around 265lbs hard to believe how fast this guy is. Jadeveon Clowney can cover 40 yrds in a blistering 4 and half seconds, (4.53s).
That’s power!
Now, with the draft over we have seen some amazing physiques.
For a few it’s genetics. For some it’s a lot of hard work. But to stay in the game everyone is going to have to put in the work.
A combination of exercises in and out of the weight room are used to enhance speed, power, and strength. A byproduct of that hard work is what many would consider and ideal physique.
I’ve seen this happen first hand.
Time and time again I’ve seen bodies transform after people have switched to a more athletic approach to training. You can easily do this yourself by adding in exercises like…
Plyometrics are a staple in any good athletic program because they’re an effective and powerful tool. Like nitroglycerin, plyometrics have to be handled with care. In the wrong hands serious injury can occur. But, in the hands of an experienced strength and conditioning coach plyometrics can quickly increase your speed and power.
Donald Chu, an authority on plyometric training, has recommendations for training volume in a session…
adult athletes with novice experience – 80 to 100 foot contacts per session
adult athletes with more experience – 120 to 140 foot contacts per session
For people completely new or overweight, foot contacts per session need to be kept to a minimum. Start with 10 low level plyometrics a session. Gradually work that number up to about 40 or 50.
The Olympic lifts can be difficult to learn. So don’t bother. Nonathletes can get similar benefits by using O Lift variations like, different types of clean and snatch pulls.
A couple of times a week stretch the legs and run. Keep it short and intense. The longest run I’d suggest is a 3oom shuttle. To make it more challenging set up your cones 25m apart. Counting up and back as one, do 6 of those.
To take it up a notch. Touch the the base of the cone every time you approach it.
After spending time training athletes like this. Then taking those same methods and applying them to personal training clients I’ve found this is the best method for getting the perfect body.
You don’t have to be gifted or have dreams of going to the NFL for these exercises to work.
The combination of explosive exercises. Heavy resistance training and conditioning. Turns any body type into something to be proud of.
If you’re not including these elements in your training your missing out.

I love getting your emails. Thanks. And keep sending them in.
I have a good one to share with you today. It’s from Pamela, and she’s new to my methods but not to exercises. She has a great question that you’ve probably thought about yourself.
She brings up a good question about where to start and how much to do.
It’s directed towards working out and losing weight. But I’ll quickly go into the nutrition side as well.
Here’s Pamela’s question…

“Question for you…
Before finding your program. I had started to go to step class 5 days a week instead of just 3 days a week (6 weeks ago), that is when I started to loose the weight.
I had been going to a body sculpting/aerobics class for over a year. Sooo… should I be doing the beginner or the advance workout (of your program)?

Not many people have the time or enjoy traditional cardio. If that’s you high intensity interval training or HIIT is a great option. HIIT is also a great option if you’re looking to maintain or build lean muscle mass.
Cardio belongs in every workout program. It’s not just for weight loss.
