Testosterone - Your Secret Weapon Part 2
January 28, 2008
First off, it’s 4 weeks into 2008… which is 8% into the year!
That means you should be 8% closer to your yearly goals!
Are you?
Time to talk about testosterone again, it’s called the “juice” in some workout circles. Bodybuilder inject it illegally which should sell you on, “How can I increase mine naturally?”
And it’s the stuff that gives guys an erection at 5 am every am ![]()
All men should be sold on this fact too, knowing that it’s the hormone responsible for boosting optimal sexual function.
It’s the stuff the starts to decline in your mid 20’s so here are two nutrition tips you should know for boosting T levels:
– You need at least 2 grams of protein for every kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight. So if I’m 210 lbs then I divide by 2.2 which equals 95.4 x 2 = 191 grams of protein a day.
You can consume more in aggressive bulking phases but this is the minimal you need to maximize T levels. You should be hitting this amount from a fat loss stand point too because you need to maximize your metabolism and protein does this the best.
– It’s hard to sell a book that says, “Eat fat to lose fat” so you may not have heard this message before but it’s true.
Eating the right fats will take away from the need for carbs that make you fat, increase your mood, sex drive, heart and overall well being.
Also, if you had to rank the world’s populations in terms of pure hairy chested manliness, chances are Greeks and Sicilians would rank at the top! So it should be obvious that an eating plan similar to the classic Mediterranean diet, which derives 25-40% of it’s diets from healthy fats is optimal for raising T levels!
Don’t believe me? Go watch the Godfather (”Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.”) See?!
Most of the fat in the Mediterranean diet comes from olive oil, meaning most monounsaturated fats. Just like my meal plan.
Most of the protein comes from fish, eggs and cheese. Just like my meal plans.
The carbs come from whole grain bread, pasta, rice as well as lots of seasonal fruits and veges. Just like my meal plans.
Your meal planshould have very little saturated fat and zero refined or sweetened carbs.
This is the same information that I used to design my 84 day Healthy Meal Plans at http://www.VinceDelMonteFitness.com
Some people forget that my program comes with thirteen meal plans that range from 2000 to 6000 calories in 500 calorie increments allowing YOU to decide how much muscle you build and how much fat you lose.
These meal plans are your next step to boosting your T levels to enjoy life like a real man!
Train hard,

Truly Huge Interviews Vinny!
January 26, 2008
Q. Can you give us some background about yourself?
A. I grew up as a competitive long distance runner and triathlete. Not the best genes for bodybuilding! I found my identity through high school and University in my endurance sport success.
Once I went to University I started living with some really buff and ripped room mates who all had smoking hot girlfriends so that started to rub on me and I started getting jealous of some of the superficial benefits that go along with having a muscular and ripped body!
I was also nick named “Skinny Vinny” but it wasn’t so bad when I was running. Thankfully I was so focused on my running that I managed my insecurities of being the smallest guy.
As superficial as this sounds, the thing I hated the most was that I could never fit into a the clothes I wanted. I could never wear a tight fitting shirt without screaming “scrawny.”
Q. What got you started with bodybuilding?
A. Once University was over I had to make my way into the real world and find a career. That’s when I decided to enter the fitness industry and become a personal trainer.
The only problem? I still looked like a lean, running machine. It was time to look the part of a personal trainer.
The driving motivation was that I always had this fascination with ‘how big could I get.’ I was always curious about what kind of physique I could build if I transferred all the same efforts I put into my running world into a “muscle building lifestyle.”
If I could be a successful endurance athlete, could I still be a successful bodybuilder with the same efforts?
Q. What is it about bodybuilding that you love so much?
A.Too be honest, I’m not a huge fan of lifting weights. It does not give me a “high” or sense of satisfaction like my endurance days.
I guess I like two things:
1. The pride and respect that comes with having a solid physique.
2. The experimentation with different training programs.
Q. What adversities have you had to overcome?
A. 10 years of long distance running and triathlon training does not make your genetics ‘better’ for building muscle!
I personally hate eating every 3 or 4 hours. I’m Italian and would prefer to just eat 2 huge meals a day. Changing my nutrition was a huge challenge.
Also, curiosity with supplements. I lost a lot of focus and wasted a lot of time putting too much thought on supplements I read about in the magazines that did very little if anything for my overall gains.
Q. What are your favorite and least favorite exercises?
A. I don’t like any exercises… meaning that I train VERY hard. I make every exercise hurt so much, how can you like any of them?
If I had to pick a favorite… I like deadlifts because they are not only physically challenging but mentally.
I don’t care for arm exercises. They are too boring.
Q. What has been your favorite bodybuilding moment so far?
A. Most likely gaining 41 lbs in my first six months of training. Basically I had a new body. It’s like getting a new car. You want to show it off and drive it everywhere!
Q. What are your tips for the beginner, intermediate and advanced bodybuilders?
A. For a beginner - find ONE program and stick to it for at least 12 weeks and learn as much as you can from it.
For an intermediate - Cycle your reps and sets more frequently.
For an advanced bodybuilder - Focus on getting stronger by 5% every 1-2 weeks.
Q. Where do you stand on the use of steroids and supplements?
A. I’ve never used steroid but I won’t lie - I’m curious to know what kind of gains I could get but I’m too afraid of the side effects and for what? I’m happy with my physique as it is and I do not want to attract too much attention to myself by getting huge.
As for supplements - I use a multi, greens product and fish oils all year round. Creatine and protein powder as well. You won’t find anything else in my cub boards.
Q. What are your future goals?
A. I’m more interested in training for performance now instead of pure physique. I don’t have any specific training goals for myself except to film a few more DVD’s for my website which will require me to stay in “camera ready” shape.
I’m creating a “six pack’ DVD so that will require me to dial down and get in “contest shape” because I would like to film a lot of it without my shirt on.
Q. What is the toughest part about bodybuilding for you?
A. I just find weight training kind’ve boring unless I’m doing hard core fat loss circuits. So I’m constantly lifting with new training partners and experimenting with different programs. As long as I’m getting results - I’m happy and stay motivated.
I like to socialize a lot too so controlling my alcohol intake is my biggest challenge.
Q. Give us a review of your No Nonsense Muscle Building program?
A. Currently, NNMB is ranked the number one muscle building course on the entire Internet (as per Clickbank.com) and I’m considered the worlds’ top “skinny guy” expert.
I help skinny guys build muscle and gain weight quickly without drugs, supplements and training less than before. My course includes everything from a 216 page book, DVD, multiple 29 week programs, 84 day meal plans, exercise data base, supplement reviews, forum, and email support. Literally, everything you need to get muscular, ripped and super strong.
Q. Is there anything else you would like to say?
A. Yes - a quick message to guys training drug free.
Would you take money advice from a guy who inherited a fortune? So why take muscle building advice from a guy who inherited great genetics?
Would you take money advice from someone cheating on his taxes? So why take muscle building advice from someone who is taking drugs?
Skinny guys need to focus on a few basic principles:
– Getting stronger from week to week
– Proper lifting technique
– Progressive overload, not progressive fatigue aka “body part training”
– Less volume per muscle group
– More frequency on their muscle groups
– Variety of compound movements
– Living a lifestyle to maximize testosterone levels
– Eating in a “surplus” with clean calories
– Being truly committed to their goals with a “Whatever it takes…” attitude
Those are the most important ones that I can offer.

Testosterone Benefits You Don’t Know ! Part 1
January 23, 2008
The best bodies I’ve ever seen are a result of two outcomes:
1. by building NEW muscle
2. by preventing CURRENT muscle from degrading.
Testosterone (T) has a number of indirect effects on muscle growth:
– T helps convert Type I slow-twitch (endurance fibers) and Type IIb fibers to Type IIa fibers which have the greatest potential for muscle growth from weight training.
– T greatest effect is preventing muscles from breaking down. It’s been shown that when T is introduced during fasting or starvation, the body pulls less protein from your muscle tissue. A lot of research as shown that additional T helps prevent muscle from degrading.
– A hard weight training session only boosts your T levels for about 1-2 hours after the workout and then fall for about 48 hours and tend to be even lower than your initial resting T levels.
This is actually a good thing, although research does not know why this happens, because T is taken up by the muscles to increase protein synthesis. You see the importance of recovering from workout to workout?
– As you workout more and more and get bigger and stronger, your body’s hormone receptors become more sensitive and are able to do more with the same amount of T.
– Consistent training also results in activating your T receptors with small bursts of testosteron, making your body more efficient at using T.
– As you know, muscle is your secret weapon to fighting abdominal fat, especially the fat that accumulates around your mid section.
Research shows that increased abdominal fat decreases T levels, so essentially, weight training increases testosterone’s effects simply by reducing body fat.
This is the same information that I used to design a low volume and high intense workout that involves short and infrequent workout bouts at http://www.VinceDelMonteFitness.com
I’ve already provided two 29 week weight training programs in my course that are very intense but it’s your job to do what it takes to recover from them.
In the next blog post, I’ll touch more on nutrition, sleep, stress and alcohol and it’s effect on testosterone levels.
Train hard,
Vince Del Monte

Body Part Splits Are A Joke…
January 10, 2008
Maybe it’s because I am Italaian… but sometimes my blood really boils…
Recently I got in a heated debate about full body routines versus body part routines. This post only scratches the surface of this debate…
After the rant, I want to tell you about how you can get a copy of my brand new No Nonsense Muscle Building DVD starting Monday January 14th at 12:01 AM EST… (plus two other amazing NEW bonuses for my 72 hour New Years Promo)!
Read right to the bottom…
Why Body Part Splits Are A Joke…
1. No transfer to reality.
Legs one day, back one day, chest one day, arms one day… why don’t we have another day allocated to face muscles and another day for just finger muscles ?!
You’ve probably heard the saying, “Form follows function.” The way you train will determine the way you look but it will also determine the way you perform and live life.
Yes, many people have improved the way they look with cosmetic oriented training — bodybuilding — but it has little to no transfer to functional living. I am assuming that you also want to be fit and be confident knowing that you have muscular strength, power, speed and endurance.
Let me clarify, I’m not against “split routines” where you split up “movements’ to different days like squats, pull ups, over head presses one day and then deadlifts, bent over rows and bench press another day.
2. Hormonal response
Science has shown that the more muscle one ues during a training session, the greater the amount of testosterone and human growth hormone that is released into your body.
These are the two MAJOR hormones responsible for building muscle mass. Doing exercises like squats, presses, rows, DB swings, and snatches is like shooting testosterone and hGH through a powerful fire hose into your body!
Doing a body part workout like biceps and triceps is like shooting testosterone and hGH into yoru body with little dinky squirt gun.
3. Training length
Bodybuilding programs usually prescribe 12-24 sets for ONE muscle group. That’s insane!
Bodybuilding programs are like saying, “Go sprint a marathon!”
It’s impossible.
Consider this. If I’m doing 12-24 sets on one muscle group then I can only train at 60-70% of my one rep max. Do you think that’s actually intense? No! Where are the gains coming from? Where does the strength increase occur?
That’s why people do these marathon body part workouts for up to 2 hours. And when you train longer then (about) 60 minutes, hGH and testosterone hormones drop and cortisol, a catabolic hormone, begins to rise (leading to muscle LOSS).
I will even go as far as to say that body part workouts tailor to wimps because the workouts are easy. They barely make me sweat.
4. Bone and joint strength
Again, science would tell you the only way to strengthen your skeletal structure including your tendons, ligaments and bones is HEAVY lifting.
This requires multi-joint movements like deadlifts, cleans, presses, chin ups, rows and squats. Bodypart programs are filled with isolation exercises like leg curls, extensions, side raises, cable flys etc. These are all exercises that put the weight at the end of a long lever.
This puts minimal stress on your skeletal structure because it’s difficult to lift even if you’re using a “heavy” weight. The only way to build NEW muscle mass on your body is to lift heavier and heavier weights and you can not do that by doing exercises that waste your energy and do not maximize strength gains.
Now check out this AMAZING 72 hour New Years Promo I’m having ALL day Monday January 14th, ALL day Tuesday January 15th and ALL day Wednesday January 16th.
When you order No Nonsense Muscle Building during these 72 hours, you also get:

How VISION = Gaining Muscle
January 5, 2008
I was thinking about how “vision” can help you build the most muscle EVER (or lose the most fat) in 2008… this is super amazing stuff (especially the life changing story of Logan at the bottom of this letter)…
My Dad and I used to read the book of Proverbs together when I was growing up and I recalled a statement the wisest man on earth, King Solomon quoted, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Hardcore, I know… but check out how this applies to gaining muscle this year…
Many people are starting a new training program with some sort of general idea of what they want to achieve but in a few weeks end up very unhappy or frustrated because they are not seeing results.
All I have to do is ask them one question and the problem is instantly exposed. They have no vision!
Do you know the vision for your life? Forget your life, do you know the vision for your physical body?
King Solomon’s vision is based on this definition:
A VISION IS A PRECISE, CLEARLY DEFINED GOAL WITH A DETAILED PLAN AND TIMETABLE FOR ACHIEVING THAT GOAL.
Read that again and apply it to your fitness goal.
Lets say you are 150 pounds and 13% fat. That equals:
20 lbs of fat and 130 lbs of lean muscle on your body.
Your goal is 190 lbs and 5% fat. That equals:
10 lbs of fat and 180 lbs of lean muscle on your body.
So your *precise, clearly defined goal* would be:
Gaining 50 lbs of lean muscle mass + losing 10 lbs of fat.
PLAN on 10 months to gain the muscle based on gaining 5 lbs of lean muscle mass each month.
PLAN 5 weeks to lose 10 lbs of fat based on losing 2 lbs per week.
Your *timetable* will work out to 11 months following your detailed plan.
Don’t be one of those people at your gym who have no vision and wonder around the room waving weights and star gaze on the cardio machines not really sure what they are doing.
Life should not be about em”just getting by”and “trying.” You deserve a life of happiness and extraordinary achievement and I know that having your dream body will be apart of that equation.
Take control and get yourself a detailed plan at http://www.VinceDelMonteFitness.com and set your goals around a timetable. If King Solomon was here right now, he would tell you that not having a vision or plan is literally a matter of life and death and will result in you wasting away.
Man up,
Vince DelMonte
P.S. Here is recent testimonial about Logan who is on his way to fulfilling his vision:
“Hey Vince, my name is Logan LeBlanc, I’m 5′9″, 25 years old and I live in Lafayette Louisiana. First, I’m going to tell you my results so far using your program then I’ll give you my story.
The results of using your program are as follows, on Sept. 24 of this year I started your program and strongI weighed 144 lbs./strong and as of yesterday Dec. 17 strongI now weigh 171 lbs/strong. I’m writing you this e-mail because in your book, which I’ve read 5 times already, you requested an e-mail at the mid point of the program.
Now, my story begins back in high school where I ran cross country and track just like you did; that’s why I was so drawn to your program. I worked out off and on throughout college but never made it past 153 lbs. I was working out almost 6 days a week and only eating three meals a day and wasn’t gaining weight go figure!!!
While doing research I came across “Transformations of the Week” on bodybuilding.com and that’s where I met Vince DelMonte and I was like damn this dude has a body just like I want. So I clicked on the link, started reading and I seen your before pictures; and I was like oh yeah now he’s got my attention. Then I read on further and discovered that you wrote a book revealing your secrets and I was like where do I sign up??!?!? And the rest is history.
Here is some before and after stats for you:
Bench press before: 135 lbs. struggling with spotter
Bench press now: 205 lbs. 5 sets of 5 with no spotter
Squat before: 135 lbs. struggling
Squat now: 255 lbs. 5 sets of 5
Deadlift before: 115 lbs. not struggling to much but still weak
Deadlift now: 225 lbs. 5 sets of 5
On a final note I just want to say thank you for doing what you do. You do an amazing job and I feel that you are doing what you were born to do. You have helped me change my life completely for the better. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the tools I needed to get on the road to the body I’ve always dreamed of. P
At 171 lbs. my dream is starting to become a reality. The goal is by Mid April of 2008 to be 195 lbs. then to shred down to 180 lbs. at 8% body fat. I’ll have pictures for you of the beginning, middle, and the final product; I’ll send them sometime around the summer. Once again keep up the good work because you really are helping people. Sorry to cut this e-mail short but it’s time to go eat, hahaha!”
Your friend,
Logan
Craig Ballantyne Interview Part 2
January 2, 2008
Today, I bring you part 2 of the interview between fat loss expert Craig Ballantyne (writer for Men’s Health) and myself…(Read to the bottom… Craig is giving away 5 NEW bonus gifts until tonight at midnight)
Vince: What are you thoughts on fat burners and ECA stacks?
Craig Ballantyne: If you only look at the theory, they are great. For example, one study found that the components of Green Tea can burn an extra 80 calories per day. Yet, you’ll rarely find long-term studies that show fat loss results when you cram Green Tea and all the other fat burning compounds into an actual product.
It’s my belief that your body gets used to the compounds and the effects don’t last. So that’s why the majority of people won’t see any benefit from using supplements. Not too mention product quality and meeting label specs…so I just don’t believe these products will have an impact.
Vince: I heard that you did the 300 workout in around 19 minutes?! That’s sick. I think it took me around 24 minutes the first time I did it (but I’m also bigger than you
Are your workouts similar to these 300 style workouts? If not, could you give me a sample circuit or workout that my readers would find in Turbulence Training?
Craig Ballantyne: Kind of similar, but Turbulence Training workouts are done in supersets, rather than as one long circuit as the 300 was done. In fact, I “copied” the 300 workout model and put together my own Bodyweight 500 workout that is available through Turbulence Training.
What I did was I created two traditional superset TT workouts to be done during the week, and then on the
weekend a bodyweight challenge was performed. It was a 4-week program, and it worked up to the Bodyweight 500.
So at the end of week 1, a very easy Bodyweight 100 was done. After week 2, a Bodyweight 200 was done. After week 3, you were challenged to a Bodyweight 350, and then finally, after week 4, you did the 500.
The traditional TT workouts go like this…
Bodyweight Circuit- This takes about 3-5 minutes and replaces the traditional “5 minutes on the treadmill”
which I find inefficient and irrelevant. Then we move to…
Strength Training Supersets- This takes 20 minutes, and we’ll pair “non-competing” exercises together in the supersets. Often this means upper and lower body exercises, or pushing and pulling exercises. Non-competing supersets allow us to get more work done than traditional supersets.
Interval Training - Finally, we finish with 10-20 minutes of interval training. We use traditional cardio machines, kettlebells, and bodyweight circuits at this time. Fast, fun, and effective.
Vince: I understand you are 10x more “anti-supplement” than me. You don’t use ANY supplements?P
Craig Ballantyne: Fish oils. That’s it. I did use a Greens Plus drink, but I eat so many vegetables I found this to be redundant. Same with a multi-vitamin and mineral. I eat really well, so its a toss-up whether these would have added benefits. Sometimes I use them, sometimes I don’t.
I have no problem with creatine, but I’m experimenting to see the results I can get without it. Similar
thoughts about protein.
One gram of protein per pound of bodyweight in a lean person isn’t too hard to reach if you eat meat, dairy,
eggs, nuts, and peanut butter. And even then, I’ve cut my meat consumption lately without problems. I just
think protein supplements aren’t worth the taste.
Vince: What’s the worst fat loss workout you have ever done or seen?
Craig Ballantyne: I just think that anything requiring you to train for over an hour everyday is overkill. And I also dislike these fluffy workouts you see where people are told to lift soup cans and water bottles.
Listen, the models demonstrating triceps kickbacks with a water bottle in hand did not get those arms by doing tricep kickbacks with water bottles.
So I find this type of info to be shameful and misleading. I’m all for getting maximum results in as little time
as possible, but you have to tell people there is going to be some hard work involved.
Fortunately, I like to think that I’ve made the workouts as fun as possible because we have a lot of variety in
the Turbulence Training workouts.

Win $2000 In TT Fat Loss Transformation Challenge
January 1, 2008
(Sent from my hotel in LA…)
After the last few weeks, even though I’m in a bulking phase, I felt obligated to hit the gym REALLY hard this am for a “fat loss” workout after the last few weeks of feasting.
Aside from the gym being dead (I guess alot of people are still “recovering” from last night), I only had about 30 minutes to blast my muscles and get a wicked sweat on…
I figured I would do one of Craig Ballantyne’s “fat loss” workouts which put me in the “hurt box!” I can make any workout painful but I was very impressed with how he combined certain exercises and rest periods to make for a very intense 30 minutes! I ended up tacking on an extra 30 minutes (12 x 1 minute sprints on treadmill) of interval cardio and walked out of the gym CHARGED and SATISFIED (especially knowing that half the world is still hung over right now and sleeping) Not me!
Click here to check out the site I got the fat loss workouts from, which I used this AM to kick off my 2008! — http://www.NoNonsenseFatLoss.com
