Biography |
I’m a certified ISSA, NCEP, and Resist-A-Ball Core
Instructor personal trainer in the LA area. I also model and
study Martial Arts. I’ve been lifting weights for several
years now, and I’ve achieved my goal of developing the body
I always wanted. I've put this site together to teach you my
secrets so you can achieve the body you’ve always wanted.
When I was a skinny 14 year old, I set out with the goal of
developing a muscular body, like what I saw on TV and in
magazines. Not knowing what to do and having not much in the
way of gym equipment, I started in my home doing mainly
push-ups, sit-ups and a little dumbbell work. Once high
school began, I used the school's equipment, doing the
workouts they told me to do. In that first year I noticed
some progress, but I felt I could be better. Knowing very
little about working out or the human body, I figured that
the more I trained the better the results would be. I got to
the point where I was doing four hour-long workouts a day!
Of course, I wasn't seeing any dramatic results other than
being over-tired. I was overtraining.
I realized I needed to learn the correct ways to train. I
starting reading every magazine and book I could find on
working out. Armed with this newfound knowledge, I cut my
workouts down to just four times per week, for less then an
hour a session. The results came quickly, but I was still
not satisfied. One book would say to workout like this,
another like this, while the magazine would say "this
bodybuilder works out like this so you should too!" (I'm not
a big fan of fitness magazines). How was I going to find the
perfect workout program when everyone said something
different? Well, I was young, so I simply tried them all!
Over the next few years, I did every workout program I could
get my hands on, in an attempt to find a perfect system.
And you know what I found from all those books and all those
years of in the gym research? There is no perfect program.
It's all about training with a certain system that allows
your body to adapt in the right way, creating the physical
changes you need to achieve your goal. Here's what I mean...
You start a new sport or job that requires some physical
work. Notice how for the first few days or so you are
probably pretty sore and tired? Then what happens? Your body
adapts by creating new and stronger muscles and in the
process, you get added strength and energy. But what happens
if you just keep on increasing the workload? Overtraining,
as I discovered in my earlier years. Or you can keep the
workload the same and not make any new progress. Or you can
decease the workload and not make progress. If you do only
one of these things, you'll only get the above results. So
what to do?
The answer is to work out a combination of ALL of the above
that's suited to you, your lifestyle and your body type.
It's all about knowing your body and when to increase,
decrease, or keep things the same. These rules apply to any
fitness goal you have. Now this can be tricky to work out,
especially to start with. That's why, when you're first
learning, it's best to stick to a program, or ideally have a
personal trainer to monitor your workouts. Eventually, you
can get to a point where you know how your body adapts and
you'll be able to self-regulate your workouts to suit
yourself. That's why there's no one program out there that's
perfect for everyone all the time.
During those years of exploration and research, I also began
to learn about nutrition. I didn't pay much attention to it
at first because I thought it wasn't that important. But now
that I realize nutrition is 70-80% of your progress I pay a
lot of attention to it! I go into more detail in the
nutrition portion of your online workout program. And just
like the workouts, many of the same rules apply when it
comes to working out how to eat for your particular body
type -- that's why there are a million diet programs out
there -- because there's hundreds of ways to adapt nutrition
to your body. The trick is to find what is going to work for
you. |
