Muscle Building Nutrition from Michael Phelps’

Imagine being able to eat 12,000-calories a day and win 8 Olympic Gold medals and still have a six-pack?

I think the media has blown this out of proportion and I don’t believe he consumes 12,000-calories a day - maybe 6,000 to 8,000 max. But for the sake of entertainment and discussion, let’s entertain a typical day…

Breakfast: Three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise. Two cups of coffee. One five-egg omelet. One bowl of grits. Three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar. Three chocolate-chip pancakes.

Lunch: One pound of enriched pasta. Two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayo on white bread. Energy drinks packing 1,000 calories.

Dinner: One pound of pasta. An entire pizza. More energy drinks.
Yes, that’s insane!

I personally assign meal plans from 2,000 to 6,000 calories for my skinny guys and I rarely meet anyone who needs more than 4,000-5,000 calories to get super muscular in conjunction with high intensity weight training.

NFL linemen don’t even consume that many calories yet Phelps’ is able to maintain not a single ounce of fat on him.

Some interesting thoughts…

– Phelp’s plan is the equivalent of eating of 25 Big Mac’s each day, yet he is still able to maintain single digit body fat despite the massive amount of unhealthy fats and lack of veggies and fruits in this diet.

Take home lesson:

Perhaps the saying, ‘Your abs are made in the kitchen,’ is not completely true if you can train 5 hours a day and 6 days a week. Unless you can increase your overall training volume then you’ll have to take your diet much more seriously. I am not saying you need to train 30 hours a week but perhaps you could consider more often for starters?

– Many would argue that Phelps’ diet is full of ‘garbage,’ yet he has proven to be one of the most decorated Olympic athletes of all time.

Take home lesson:

If you’re training up to 5 hours a day then you need a muscle building diet with enough calories or else you’ll ‘hit the wall’ and be completely drained the last 2 hours of your workout. (I just hope that all the saturated fat in Mike’s diet does not result in heart disease in the next ten or twenty years… )

As far as building muscles goes, it’s practically impossible to bulk up by resorting on just veggies and fruits (unless you want to live on the toilet) so be prepared to do more cardio training to counteract the excess calories and remember you can only build 3-4 pounds of dry muscle each month and anything else will be fat, so don’t attempt to ‘force feed’ your muscles into growth.

– Phelps is ULTRA skinny and your classic hard gainer so he has a super charged metabolism which allows him to consume about 6x more (2,000-calories a day) than the average man. So how the heck is he an alien-human-fish instead of a fat whale?

Take home lesson:

It’s all about about energy in versus energy out. If his weight is staying constant, which it is, then he’s obviously burning the same amount that he is taking in.

You’re probably wondering, what’s going to happen now that the Olympics are over… I don’t think he’ll have a problem of maintaining his weight because his metabolism is so high and he still needs to be in the water several hours a day.

Don’t worry, I’m like you and if I tried to follow a muscle building diet like Mike then I would end up in the hospital too. I don’t mean to sound like Dr. Phil but as you can see it all comes down to what comes in and what goes out. If you want to lose fat then you need to move more and eat less.

If you want to gain weight then you need to move less and eat more. It’s that simple.

Mike Geary’s Truth About Abs

August 24, 2008

So I got an awesome interview for you today with my buddy Mike Geary who is the author of  Truth About Abs

This is a very important post if you have ever wanted to get a flat stomach or ripped 6-pack abs.

Mike is not only the author of the best selling abs book on the entire Internet but a really good friend of mine who I went skydiving and white water rafting with two weeks ago in Colorado.

After you read the interview (it’s really good) then be sure to check out Mike’s website to learn more.

Here is how our interview went down:

Vince: What is the number one component to getting six pack abs?

Mike: Your training style, nutrition, and mindset are all extremely important if you want to stand a chance at getting a six pack… However, if I had to choose 1 component that is most important, it would probably have to be nutrition. Maybe you’ve heard the saying before that “abs are made in the kitchen.”

It really is true, and that’s where the majority of people go wrong in the goal to get super lean. Of course, this also ties into mindset, because you really have to get your mind in the right place in order to have the discipline to be able to eat consistently clean enough to get six pack abs.

There’s a lot of confusion out there these days about calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates… every “expert” disagrees with one another on proper ratios and types of diets. I think people make this way too complicated…

If you are just to focus on a good balance between fats, carbs, and proteins, and make sure to eat only natural unprocessed organic foods (as close to their natural state as possible) instead of packaged, processed foods, a lot of the problems that most people have with cravings, sweet tooth, overeating, blood sugar swings, etc all take care of themselves.

We still can’t lose sight of the fact that you can overeat on healthy foods and gain fat even while eating healthy.

Therefore, your caloric intake needs to be controlled to a level that will promote fat loss if that’s the goal.

Vince: What is one thing I might be doing, unknowingly, steering my quest for a six pack in the wrong direction?

Mike: I’ll give 2 things that may be steering you in the wrong direction…

a. Too much cardio

Some people, in their efforts to try to get lean, focus way too much on hours and hours of cardio exercise. The problem is that this can backfire on you by making you lose lean muscle mass over time, which decreases your resting metabolic rate. Once this happens, it becomes easier to pack on body fat than ever before. I’ve even seen many people that do too much cardio and end up getting that “skinny fat” appearance, where they have very little muscle tone, yet they have excess stomach fat (even a “gut” possibly).

Instead of excess cardio, focus more on high intensity weight training (yes, even during a “cutting” cycle). This will help maintain your lean muscle mass throughout your body, so that you don’t experience the metabolic rate decrease. Maintaining as much lean muscle mass on your body at all times is one of
the most important things for staying super-lean for life.

b. Not eating enough healthy fats

This is another area where I see people go in the wrong direction. They are trying to lose body fat and they end up going WAY too low on their fat intake. When you decrease your fat intake too much, you are basically messing up your fat burning and muscle building hormones. It’s not uncommon to see people decrease their fat intake too low and end up reducing their testosterone levels significantly.

Try to get some sources of healthy fats with every meal to make sure you don’t go too low… This could be avocados, any and all nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans, etc), seeds (pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds), nut butters (almond butter, natural peanut butter, etc), virgin coconut oil (good source of medium chain triglycerides), extra virgin olive oil, grass fed beef (good source of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3s),whole eggs (yes, whole eggs…not egg whites), etc.
Vince: What is one unique way of boosting your metabolism, to finally burn fat and get six pack abs, that I might be overlooking?

Mike: Incorporate any form of clean presses into your routines twice per week. This could be barbell clean presses or using kettlebells or dumbbells. If I had to choose one exercise that burns the most calories and has the biggest impact on increasing your metabolic rate, I’d have to choose high intensity clean presses (with squats and deadlifts being at the top of the pack also). I like alternating the use of barbells for CP’s one workout and kettlebells for another.

Vince: What is your number one plateau busting secret to lose the last 10 pounds?

Mike: When you get to the point that you’re already fairly lean, but just need to lose that last 5 or 10 lbs of body fat that is covering up your abs, you really need to take your workouts to a whole new level of intensity.

Consider adding all-out wind sprints and/or hill sprints into your routine if you want to take it to the next level of intensity.

As for gym workouts, this also means no jibber-jabbering for 5 minutes in between sets at the gym… Instead, you need laser-focused intensity, and one of the best ways to keep high intensity is super-setting or alternating sets. This means while you’re resting one area of your body, you’re working another area of your body. I usually like to do this by alternating a really tough lower body exercise such as a squat, lunge, or deadlift, with a multi-joint upper body exercise such as a bench press, overhead press, bent over row,
or pullup.

Think short rest periods, full body exercises, multi-joint exercises, lots of sweat, and your chest heaving for air… if that’s what your workout is looking like, then you’re on the right path. If not, then you’re not working hard enough, so stop being lazy.
Vince: What is your advice for me to deal with the social temptations of alcohol, eating out, and junk food?

Mike: This is something many people struggle with, but if you set some limits, it can be easy to deal with and still stay lean. One thing I’d suggest is to make sure to not get n a habit of drinking alcohol excessively on a daily basis.

If you’re going to go out and have some fun with friends, try to limit the drinking to only 1 or 2 days max per week.  Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we can still go out and have fun with our friends without getting totally smashed.

You need to decide what is more important in your life… do you want to live healthy and have a sexy lean body, or do you want to get full-blown drunk every night? There’s a lot more to life than alcohol.

As for eating out… If you’re serious about getting and staying lean, eating out should only be an occasional event.
Cooking your own food on a daily basis is extremely important as it’s very hard to know what is in all of the junk at restaurants and fast food joints. One of the tricks I use when eating out is to NEVER eat fries or sodas (in fact, I never eat fries or sodas AT ALL).

Instead, go ahead and order that burger, but substitute steamed veggies or a salad for the fries. Almost every restaurant will make that substitution for you. And water or unsweetened iced tea are the best beverage options to keep the calories under control when eating out.
Vince: Why do I lose motivation when trying to get a six pack?

Mike: Most people lose motivation because they simply aren’t seeing the results fast enough. If that’s why you lose motivation, go back to all of the tips and techniques we’ve been talking about in here and see where your nutrition or training programs are going wrong so you can get faster results. Be patient and consistent and the results will come.

Also, you can really stay motivated by focusing on what has been successful so far. For example, maybe your fat loss hasn’t been what you wanted so far, but maybe you’ve increased your pullups from 8 to 13 and your squat weight from 185 to 225 lbs. Keep focusing on your successes rather than your failures, and keep going for more successes.

More motivation tips — Train regularly with a partner. This will keep you both focused and will keep you accountable to someone other than yourself. You don’t want to disappoint someone else that you’ve made a goal with.

Also, keep a picture up in your house or at work of someone’s body that motivates you to strive for those results. Look at it every day and keep visualizing your own body improving.

Set a realistic goal and a time frame to achieve that goal, such as “I will lose 15 lbs of body fat in the next 8 weeks.” The important thing here is realistic goal… don’t expect to lose 30 lbs in 30 days (despite those weight loss scam ads that you see everywhere saying this is possible).
Vince: I understand you number have the number one ab book on the Internet, at Truth About Abs Why do you think it’s so popular?

Mike: My Truth about Abs program is so popular because it works! It’s REAL nutrition and REAL training programs. I give the TRUTH on what people really need to get lean sexy abs for life and why they DON’T NEED fad gimmicks like diets, ab infomercial gadgets, and bogus fat burning pills that people waste way too much money on.

Vince: Who should order TruthAboutAbs.com and who is this book not for?

Mike: This program is for anyone that wants to truly live healthy and get super-lean for life. I have college students, parents, busy professionals, and even grandparents using this program successfully.

Who is this program NOT for? Anyone who is lazy, or thinks that there is a “quick fix” out there. There isn’t! So stop looking for a quick fix, and learn the truth!

Muscle Building Secrets

August 20, 2008

Have you been over dosing on the Olympics like me?

I seem to be going to bed later each night and waking up earlier each morning to watch my favorite events - so far Simon Whitefield’s 2nd place in the triathlon has impressed me the most - this guy has a huge set of “you know what!”

Here is ONE thing I’ve discovered as a common theme from Olympic athletes that you can apply to your own 12-week transformation…

- They have created SPECIFIC habits that do not require thinking - You would never hear an athlete say, “I am going to workout today and try and eat better today…”

This is not SPECIFIC enough.

Here’s what they WILL say if they were following one of my muscle building programs…

“I will go to bed at 10:30 pm the night before so that I get 7.5 hours sleep and rise at 6 am to cook my 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 2 scoops of protein powder and 1 tbsp of natural peanut butter. I’ll drink 1 liter of water, take my fish oils, multi vitamin and drink 1 cup of black coffee and then leave my house at 6:30 am.

I’m going to do day 1 of my Metabolic Overdrive program which will begin at 6:45 am and finish at 8 am and I will be doing shoulders and rotational work. The goal of today’s workout is to finish the entire workout in under 55 minutes. I will finish my workout with 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill at 4.0 mph and a 12.0 grade.

I will have meal 2 at 9 am, meal 3 at 12pm, meal 4 at 3pm and then go to the trails and run for 45 minutes at 4:30pm.  Today I’ll be doing a 10 minute warm up plus 5 minutes hard alternated with 5 minutes easy until I reach 45 minutes.  I’ll finish up with 15 minutes of static stretching and then alternate 1 minute of hot water with 1 minute of cold water on my legs and shoulders while I shower. I’ll have my last meal at 6pm. I’ll be in bed for 10:30pm tonight.”

Notice a few muscle building secrets?

- the specific wake up time?
- the specific amount of food at breakfast?
- the specific start and finish time of the workout?
- the goal for the workout?
- the pre planned cardio workout?
- the pre planned meal times?
- the pre planned PM cardio workout?
- the specific bed time?

The reason athletes are SO successful is because they have built certain HABITS over a long period of time.

They no longer need to “think about it…” Thinking is an athletes greatest enemy. They just do it out of habit.

You have probably heard the saying, “It takes 30 days to create a new habit…”

Most athletes have created these habits before they even reached their early teens (but it’s NEVER too late).

Well, I just listed about 12 habits that could take 30 days each to form. Imagine if you build one of these habits into your life every 30 days? You could build 12 new habits each year!

I highly recommend that you become your own coach and create your own SPECIFIC plan and that you write it down on paper at least one week in advance so that you can see it and visualize it and so that you are no longer “hoping” or “wishing” for success.

Go into your personal schedule and pencil out your next 7-10 days of training just like you schedule our your meeting, class schedule, social life, family time and errands.

Your goal is to ELIMINATE the “thinking” that goes into your training and create habits that become natural.

For this week, pick just ONE habit that you wish to focus on. Maybe it’s setting your stop watch so your beeper goes off at 10:15pm each night to remind you that you need to be in bed by 10:30pm or whatever new time you wish to set for yourself.

Once you master this habit, lets tackle another one.

12-Week Transformation Contest

August 19, 2008

Wow… so I survived my “Fear Factor” style vacation this past few days with my buddy Mike Geary here in Colorado.  The high light was conquering the 3rd hardest and most violent set of rapids in US called Gore Canyon!

We went over three sets of 8 foot water falls and I still have no idea how we didn’t do any swimming and I came out completely unharmed.

In between hot springs, wine tasting, hiking to water falls, sky diving and white water rafting, I’ve been watching the Olympics and wanted to point out ONE reason I believe they have achieved so much in their respective sports.

The athletes set deadlines.

They don’t wing it.

They don’t hope they qualify or make it.

They don’t have a “We’ll see what happens…” attitude.

They have VERY SPECIFIC goals.

And goals without deadlines are DREAMS!

Each athlete knows on a specific day that it’s show time!

Now lets apply this to you…

Have you set a deadline for when you are going to gain another 6 pounds of muscle mass around your shoulders, chest and arms?

Have you set a deadline for when you’re going to lose that last 15 pounds of stubborn belly fat?

Have you set a deadline for when you’re going to be 12 weeks closer to your goals instead of 12 weeks further from your goals?

So here’s how I am going to help you.

I cordially invite you to take on my 12-week transformation contest. I’m giving $1,000 cash to the best skinny guy transformation, best chubby guy transformation and best overall female transformation.

The contest ends November 9, 2009 so you could start this Monday August 18th.

Here are the benefits of setting deadlines and using a transformation contest to make the most of the next 12-weeks:

1. Help you finally prioritize your goal of improving your health and physique and the way you feel about yourself.

2. Your outside your comfort zone and will be forced to take continual action and this is the ONLY time change happens.

3. You won’t procrastinate - every single workout and meal counts now and will move you closer to your goal or further form your goal.

4. You will build experience quickly and be forced to apply my “trial and error” technique and ensure you lose 1% each and every week.

5. You’ll have a kick-butt set of Before and After pictures that you can share with your friends for life.

If you want to seriously lean down then grab my fat loss program

If you seriously want to gain some size then grab my muscle building routine

Both programs work even better when you put a deadline to them :)

I’m off to catch a plane for Kelowna, BC to watch my brother race in the National Triathlon Championships this Sunday.

I’ll be looking forward to getting your Before pictures over the weekend. Have a great weekend,

Cardio & Fat Burning Audio Interview

August 19, 2008

I just did a private phone interview with my buddy Jeff Anderson and he we dove into a pretty heavy duty fat loss discussion on high intensity cardio VS low intensity cardio.

It’s a solid 60 minutes audio interview and quite entertaining.  Have a listen.

Here are some of the topics we covered in the smack down (some random questions got added to the mix but I think you’ll really enjoy this candid convo we had)…

= What makes a “skinny guy” a fat loss expert?
= How can you become your own coach?
= My hesitancy in writing a “six pack” book…
= Is what I do, “All about the money…?”
= Why a certain kind of cardio is the LEAST effective way to lose body fat.
= How to lose 1% of your body fat each and every week.
= Is it really that hard to get a six-pack?
= Should you cut or should you bulk first?

Plus, lots, lots more!

Click here for the free MP3 interview

This is one of my best interviews to date and I hope you get a chance to take a listen.

I’m jumping on a bus now and leaving Kelowna for Vancouver.  We’ll talk to you soon,

10 Reasons You’ll Get Abs Fast

August 7, 2008

How would you like to see me get thrown out into class 4 rapids on the Ottawa River during a wild water rafting trip?

I just got the DVD of my adventure (from last week) and will post some funny and entertaining footage (on my blog next week) of me doing a reverse somersault out of the boat… unintentionally :)

I survived the rapids but tomorrow I am flying to Denver Colorado and as soon as my plane lands I am going back up to 16,000 feet and sky diving with my buddy Mike Geary (it was his idea) and then we’re going white water rafting on the weekend in class 5 rapids!

So this might be my last email to you! (Don’t worry Mom… I’ll be safe :)

Before I fly to the airport tonight, I’m raising the price of my 6 Pack in 6 Months fat loss program. At 72 hours, 1045 people have begun a mission to build their best body ever and get six pack abs.

Click here to get the half-price discount before MIDNIGHT tonight

http://www.YourSixPackQuest.com

There will be no exceptions or “One more chance” promos next week - a deadline is a deadline so don’t miss out on this opportunity to lose 1% of your body each week, safely and effectively.

Here are the top 10 reasons why you should take action before TONIGHT at midnight… enjoy.

1. Proof! I helped a regular guy with HORRIBLE genetics lose 100 pounds in six months and the entire transformation is on video.

2. More proof! I dropped 23 pounds of ugly lower ab fat that was preventing me from getting on stage and I did it in 8 weeks - not months.

3. You’ll be 2-3 pounds closer to your goal (instead of further) by this time next week.

4. I am “THE GUY” that WILL help you. I know EXACTLY what you want and need and I have it. Come and get it.

5. Your abdominal fat is a SERIOUS problem and is FAR worse than you think. If you choose to ignore the problem, please be prepared to live with the health consequences.

6. Other people are telling you that you can lose 9 pounds in 11 days and I won’t take you for a fool. I don’t make false claims and that’s why my program is called 6 Pack in 6 Months and not 6 Pack In 6 Days or 6 Weeks.

7. You’ve been lied to by so many experts and supplement companies that I feel compelled to say, “Of course you’re struggling with your body fat… heck, look at the horrible advice you’re following. It’s not your fault!”

8. You’ll finally feel in control of your health and have the motivation and knowledge to make your body leaner, slimmer faster, stronger and more functional. My workouts will not only make you look fit but will get you in to the best shape of your life. Period.

9. You give me your trust and commitment to make this small financial investment into yourself (and huge lifestyle investment) and I’ll give you the keys to a brand new body and a brand new life.

10. You will learn a lot of new knowledge that you can even apply to your bulking program and if you are currently in a mass phase now then grab a copy at half price, so you can use it when you’re ready to cut.

You can continue to get advice from friends, wing it, read magazines and articles, buy a diet book, buy a new ab gadget, buy a treadmill, try a new fat burning pill or even get surgery but these are ALL short term solutions to a long term problem.

Your REAL problem can be or a combo of the following

- you don’t have a step-by-step plan
- you get bored easily
- you don’t have proper training technique
- you lack intensity in the gym
- you have no variety in your workouts
- you lack motivation
- you don’t know what to eat or when to eat
- you don’t know what supplements are necessary
- your program is not structured or progressive
- you don’t know when to changes things up
- you don’t know how to crash through plateaus
- you have never made a TRUE commitment
- you lack the social support and accountability

As a personal trainer, I’ve had personal clients spend up to $10,000 a year on getting these ROOT problems solved.

The good news it that you don’t need to pay nearly that… For the same price as a night out for dinner and a movie, you can get the most complete ab and fat loss resources I’ve EVER seen.

The only thing my product is missing is a membership forum which will be coming in September so you can meet the other 1045 members currently on their six pack quest. I am sure you will make a lot of new friends as well.

Take your pictures this weekend, and start on Monday and in 12-weeks, I’ll be giving out $1,000 cash to the best transformation!

Okay, on to your questions before the price doubles Thursday August 7th at 11:59pm

Question: My abs never show and I only have 8 weeks to flatten it. My stomach area has always been my problem spot…

Answer: You better get serious because 8 weeks is going to fly by! Three things need to happen:

1. Follow one of the 84-day meal plans 80-90% of the time.
2. Start with the 3-day Metabolic Boost program
3. Perform at least 3 additional cardio workouts on your off days.

You will start losing at least 1% of your fat each week. If not, add a 4th cardio session or drop your calories 200 per day.

If your weight is the same, repeat the step above. If you are dropping then don’t change anything.

Question: Should I bulk using your muscle building program or cut using http://www.YourSixpackQuest.com ? Which program should I get?

Answer: Which is more important to you? Size or cuts? If you are hovering between 13-18% fat then you are a serious candidate for my fat loss program.

I would recommend cutting to at least 10% fat and then start a bulking cycle using my muscle program. It’s a pretty cool experience to see how tight and defined you can become after you put all your efforts into cutting. The “lean look” can become very addicting.

Question: How long does it take to ship this product?

Answer: It only takes seconds. Check your junk folder because your email receipt will probably get forwarded there which will give you access to the customer only page, a user name and password.

Nothing is sent in the mail because this is a completely digital package. In January 2009, you will be able to purchase the online DVD’s in hard copy but the price will be $197 for the complete set. Take advantage of the price now.

Question: Does this program work for females?

Answer: 1000% You’ll notice that I even include a special Female Only workout and the online video includes me taking a national level fitness model through the workout.

Lets put it this way. If you were my girlfriend, this is the exact workout I would give you :)

Question: I train at home so not sure if your program can help…

Answer: I got you covered. I include a specific “Home Gym Workout” that is done by myself and an ex pro bodybuilder.  There are some really funny clips on this video too. Once involves me getting sacked by a medicine ball while I’m tired during a workout.

I also include my Bodyweight Conditioning program which can be done anytime and anywhere and is VERY challenging and far beyond just sit ups, push ups, squats and chin ups.

Question: I don’t eat dairy, eggs and wheat… can I still use your meal plans?

Answer: Of course but you will obviously have to make those changes and not follow the plan blindly. Don’t forget you also get 12 hours of training footage, cardio plans, weight training routines and more. You need these to lose fat as well - not just a meal plan.

If you have any more questions, let me know. I’ll be looking forward to rewarding someone, (maybe you?), $1,000 cash every 12-weeks for the best transformation.

Ab Program Q & A

August 5, 2008

Have you seen my new ab program yet?

Get it for half-price until Thursday August 7th at 11:59pm and then the price doubles.

Even if you are a bulking phase or in the middle of someone else’s program, grab it now so you can take advantage of the half-price deal so you’ll be ready to go when the time comes.

Almost 500 people have begun there six pack quest in the past 24 hours and I would like to address a number of common questions:

Question: Does this ab program come with my muscle building program?

Answer: No. These are two completely different programs from the ground up.

Question: Is the price a miss print? on your ab program?  I almost didn’t buy it because it seems too low for what I am getting.

Answer: No. But the price doubles Thursday at 11:59 pm. You are probably right - the price is way too low but I have a vision of flooding my website with dozens of amazing before and after pictures so I want to give my ab and fat loss system to as many people as possible.

Question: I already have your No Nonsense Cutting program and many other fat loss programs. How is this different than your new ab program?

Answer: I am a tad concerned about this question.

If you already own my No Nonsense Cutting program and it has not “worked” for you then most likely my new one will not work for you either. That goes for other programs you may have not been successful on either.

Rarely, does a program ever fail you. Only YOU can fail the program if you are not consistent, committed and progressing on it. You might need to ask yourself, “How serious am I about getting six-pack abs?” before you go spend more time and money on something you are not truly committed to.

However, let me give you an idea on what to expect. The weight training programs are the gem of this product. There is over 12 hours of online DVD footage which means you will never get bored or run out of workouts.

Whether you are advanced or intermediate or beginner, I have a complete step-by-step program and I demo the entire workout in the gym. Real sweat, real breathing, real weights!

The weight training really focus on increasing lactic acid in your body and making your heart rate pound - these are NOT easy and simple workouts. You will no longer be spending time in the gym - you will be investing time in the gym!

The workouts are very functional and include a lot of super sets, giant sets and quad sets meaning you will be burning an enormous amount of calories and literally digging out your stubborn love handles and pot belly just to finish the workout. These workouts will be very humbling to you!

The workouts include very short rest periods and longer workouts than my muscle building program. If you are looking for a 10-minute workout than this is not for you.

I give you lots of rep ranges, set ranges, rest ranges to choose from so that there is always a goal of progression.

Question: Which program did you lose to get ripped in 8 weeks for your show?

Answer: I used the 5-day Metabolic Overdrive program plus the 2,600 calorie meal plan. I did a higher volume of long and slow cardio in the early AM on a empty stomach before my first meal and then I sometimes did another interval or tempo cardio session in the pm after my weights.

Yes, this a lot of volume but I PROGRESSED to this over time. I am just telling you what I did. You may be able to get the same results on the 3-day Boost program and three 20-minute interval sessions without the extra cardio in the AM. I have no idea and you will not know until you begin the quest.

I’ll teach you how to start and how to progress to ensure you lose 1% of your fat each week and finally get “checked out” because of how different you look!

Question: I feel so miserable with my health and overwhelmed with all the programs to choose from on the Internet. Why should I choose yours?

Answer: It works IF you decide to make it work. Start with the 3 Day Metabolic Boost program, one of the pre-set 84-day meal plans and choose one of the cardio programs and jumpon the scale every week to ensure you are losing at least 1% of your fat each week.

I will be VERY surprised if you don’t lose 12-24 pounds within the first 3 months just by having a plan to follow each day.

The closer you follow the plan, the faster the results.

Question: Nothing has been working for me… yada yada yada

Answer: The only time I truly see a difference in my own physique is when I follow a meal plan. Let’s put it this way.

I always see results when I change my nutrition.

I rarely see results if I keep my nutrition the same and only change the weight training program.

Why? Any weight training program works if it’s done at the right intensity. However, your body can not build muscle or lose fat if your calories and hormones are not consistent with your goals.

My guess is that you have never, truly, followed a pre-designed meal plan customized to your schedule and goals. My program comes with a set of 84-day meal plans that range from 1,200 calories to 3,000 calories. You know exactly what to eat, at what times and in what amounts.

Question: How do I know if your ab program is a scam?

Answer: The best thing for you to see that I am a real person is to check out my a Vince DelMonte You Tube Channel that have been collectively watched hundreds of thousands of times - and for good reason - I’m giving away for FREE what many personal trainers charge $50 to $150 an hour for!

If for some reason you have not seen them yet, simple head over to…

You’ll quickly see that I give you almost enough advice to get a flat stomach and ripped abs without even ordering my ab program. If I was out to scam you and did not care about really getting to know you and helping you then I would not be wasting my time giving you my best information for free!

Every 12-weeks I am giving away $1,000 cold cash to my best six-pack transformation and will be featured on my website and you can be an inspiration to thousands of people.
