This is a dilemna I keep hearing in the first couple of weeks from all my new trainees (and Im hearing it from 2 guys now and its only been about 10 days since we started) and I never hear this from my longtime trainees who after their cruises realized what I was talking about all along. Basically im going to use this post to blanket all fears as if you dont believe it from me maybe some of my longtime trainees can post here and convince you.
To make you into a larger bodybuilder I have to get you to train and eat your way into a larger you. The human body doesnt want to be 280lbs of monstrosity, it has no need for it, it does everything in its power to be 175lbs or so (cortisol, catabolism, etc etc)
I try to explain this to my new trainees but its like they dont believe me...the first 3 weeks on my diets are going to be hell...I tell you that right in the beginning.....your going to be bloated, with your stomach sticking out, somewhat lethargic, and feeling like your getting fat. I cant make you into a muscle building, fat burning furnace in a day guys, this takes about 3 weeks. To do this I need to keep that fork going from your plate to mouth all day long. After about 3 weeks you start noticing, how damn hungry you are every 2.5 hours on the dot and it gets almost irritable if you dont eat right away. Once I get you to that point, things come together quickly. At 4 weeks I reaccess things and make any changes neccesary. As soon as you stop blasting, +go thru a cruise and drop the olive oil and one meal a day... and that full stomach isnt around all day, you quickly realize what I was talking about here. Alot of my trainees can drop a meal and tighten their diet a little and they just start ripping right up and its because youve made your body into a food processing machine, and if the regular influx of food isnt going down the hatch, guess what the body feeds off of to even things out? Dont confuse a full stomach with getting fat here, there is a big difference and I know your not used to feeling like this but theres a reason you werent gaining like you truly wanted and came to me to remedy this. Well this is part of the remedy! When you wake up first thing in the morning that is your true stomach, the rest of the day you will probably feel like a bloated pig...and I want you to feel that way or otherwise you sure as hell arent going to be gaining 25-50lbs of muscle this year. Let me give you two examples here. JasonW whose pic I just put up yesterday took precise readings 4 weeks in from when i started training him earlier this year. For the first 4 weeks with Jason I remember him emailing me and saying "god im stuffed, ive never eaten like this" and I caught a tinge of the "am I doing this right-I'm feeling fatter" from him. Well 4 weeks later Jason weighed in at 9lbs more and his precise bodyfat percentage had gone down .50% from when he started so he actually gained more than 9 lean lbs in theory. Chris250 was 253 or so lbs I believe when he started with me and competed at 214lbs that year (or roughly 40lbs from his offseason weight)--well I got chris up to 288lbs, he is into his contest prep and is now 262lbs and is targeting in at 241 lbs or so for his next show. (Or 47lbs from his offseason weight) --so all in all Chris is looking at a 27lb gain in muscle mass and only gained about 8lbs of fat which is an incredible ratio for that kind of gain. Inhuman was 268lbs and is now 290 and he has been pounding the food like its oxygen to breathe....I guarentee you, if he drops one meal a day, keeps the diet pretty clean and moves up his carb cuttoff maybe an hour bodyfat will start falling off of him like dead skin. And thats without cardio because he has turned into a furnace.
IM NOT GOING TO MAKE YOU FAT GUYS--YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME--I have to make you into a machine here first or Im never going to be able to do what i want to do with you. If I can get you there I can then move up the carb cuttoff or increase cardio slightly until we find the exact ratio you need to be at--but if you dont let me get you there to that "machine" point, you will be stuck in that "gaining 3-5lbs of muscle mass a year" range all these other poor souls on all the boards are at and your going to have to do a crapload of cardio to get any bodyfat off. Im going to let any of my longtime trainees chime in here if they want to and Ill leave it off with a cut and paste I got yesterday from a guy I started training back early this year who I made into a furnace and then I put him on a certain diet plan to rip him up (involves a early morning shitload on a weekend day.)
"Hello bro
Its me again just checking in bro.Ok im done my 2 week cruise,it was fun but
i was anxious to get back at my logbook. Now the
crazy part.
I started dieting with your low carb shitload diet.I wanted to
see as
my friends and girlfriend a re commenting that i am gatting harder
and looking larger...I thought yeah as i get leaner i look larger.Well i
stepped on the scale last nite 2.5 weeks early....Well i`m now a tighter 258
lbs after cruise and beginning strict diet.Holy shit bro i`m still
growing.....Now i am halfway through the 6 workouts and my strength is still
going up on all my lifts by at least 5-10 lbs....I am amazed to say the
least...I want to take pics but my girl is away with her mom for 2 weeks in
europe so i will take some pics for you from montreal Grand prix in 2
weeks.....
Anyway i just wanted to let you know bro...i know you are busy
as hell with your ventures etc...and i dont want to wadte your time as its
going so well,but you will be hearing from me more when these incredible
gains stop...
PS i was in New York last weekend with my girl and i`ve never recvd so many
comments from people in restaurants and stores and people on the street
about my physique...I know i`m no hero but people were freakin....I cant
imagine being your size and some of the comments you must get...It does feel
good though that the hard work is being noticed although thats not my goal
it sure does feel good.....
take care my man...." END
