It’s the Metabolism Stupid

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Big article, sorry.  I’ll use less words next time.

metabolism Too many trainees I see miss the forest for the trees. They are approaching their fat loss programs all wrong, and stagnating as a result.  A big thanks goes to the mainstream media for all the crap advice on ”cardio” being best for fat loss, ,ore on that in a minute.

Assuming the goal is fat loss, then metabolic optimization should be our primary focus.  Some of you might be shocked by my use of big words in that last sentence, so let me explain.

Once More Into the Fire (beta testers needed)

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Once more into the fire…

Back in March I updated my original 28 day fat incinerating “C-Diet" to version 2.0 and I recruited 18 dedicated testers. As expected they blew it out of the water.

Here are the results I posted on Facebook on our "C-Diet Soldier" fan page.

You read that right, 242 pounds – 9 pounds per day (and 2 inches PER DAY).

Yeah, they kicked SERIOUS ass.

So now I took their suggestions and tweaked the program again (for what will most likely be the last time.). You can say the C-Diet is now in "FINAL BETA" and I need 18 more testers.

Venus & Mars: The Training

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Smart trainers have long known that there are differences when you train men versus women.  Most studies have used men and assumed the results would transfer over to women. Not necessarily the case.

Venus & Mars in happier times

While men and women are *mostly* the same physiologically (certain exceptions immediately come to mind)  turns out there are some important differences below the surface.  I just read an interesting article in MSNBC about the current research and  findings regarding gender differences in training effects.

More Pants Lie

Friday, March 12th, 2010

I go a huge response from article I wrote for the last newsletter entitled Pants Lie. So I thought I’s share with you some of the things I learned.

calvin klein One of my good friends is a marketing guru, and at some point had a meeting with a high level marketing person with Calvin Klein. They got to talking and she went on to tell how today’s size 2 is actually a size 4 from the 80’s. And as the sizes get bigger the gap gets larger. Example: today’s size 12 is a size 16 from the 80’s and the same applies for men.

Pants Lie

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I came to a harsh and startling realization the other day:  my pants have been lying to me.  I know it’s hard to believe, but pants are liars. Big fat liars. I suspect dresses are liars too, but I have no first hand experience with dresses (why? what did you hear?)

Someone should have clued Hammer in,
his pants were lying to him for years…

No long ago when I started my one of my 6 Week Body Transformation programs, I asked all of the participants to take measurements.  For they guys, it was the waist I was interested in, for the women it was waist and hips.  So after one guy didn’t email me with his measurements I asked him during the session.

In Only 6 Weeks

Monday, September 14th, 2009

As some of you know, I was recently hired by a major fitness company to transform the bodies of 15 participants.  Then the results were to be used in a national ad campaign.  They needed rapid and drastic fat loss in only  6 weeks, so they came to me.

Well last Friday & Saturday was the filming of the commercial and the results blew me away. 

I wish I could show you the before and after pictures, but I am waiting to make sure I have authorization.

I Don’t Know Who This Is, but I’m Impressed

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I ran across this video on the internet the other day.  I don’t know who he is, how he worked out or what he ate, but he took a picture of himself everyday for a year.  Here is the first and last shots…

Pretty damn cool, but to see the transformation in action watch the video below.  You’ll notice it did not take him a full year to get rock hard abs.
