Strong & Shapely Muscle


The more strong & shapely muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate will be. Unless your goals revolve around looking like a skeleton, you success is greatly dependant upon strong, lean, shapely muscle! This comes from pumping some iron. Everyone should be doing it! Everyone! A guaranteed secret to success for absolutely everyone is strength training!

Don’t worry about accidentally getting huge! There is so much confusion around strength training and professional bodybuilding! This is the biggest misconception people have and it will always inevitably limit your potential. Almost straight across the board, the people I meet are worried about ending up on the cover of a magazine. Enough already! How can 45 minutes, three days per week turn the “average joe” into Arnold Schwarzenegger? It takes these magazine (men and women both) years, if not decades of blood, sweat and tears! It takes phenomenal genetics! It takes anabolic steroids! It takes 500 eggs and 60 chicken breasts per month! It takes puking after a third set of 500 pound squats! It means breaking a blood vessel in your eye because your intensity is so high! Are you serious? I’ll hire you if your muscles are bulging out of control! I need a good training partner!

My #1 goal is to help my clients learn proper intensity. It’s all relative! Maybe for him, he should be doing 50 lbs. For her, perhaps 12 lbs over the last two years is way too stale! Nobody should try to build Rome in a day. There are tricks of the trade. Everyone should progressively reach their own potential and very few people realize how high that could be! Muscle truly improves everyone’s quality of life! Once you feel healthier, stronger, more energized… you will want even more muscle. Then you can join me in scoffing the “cardio only” fanatics that don’t want to get “big”!
