A Maniac's guide to personal training

My proven results:
(And I say this not to sound cocky or to stroke my ego, just to try and convince you)
When I started working out just under a year ago(Ive been into fitness and MMA much longer than that, but thats when I started really putting it all together) I was a loose, cellulite infested 240. I know walk around 212 and keep my body fat between 8-12 percent, plan on cutting to 5-6 for comp. I actually don’t do much cardio, I count on my diet to keep me lean or to add weight.

My Brother:
My brother puts away a pack of cigarettes and a 12 of beer like its going out of style, at least 3-4 nights a week. On top of that I dont think he has ever had a healthy meal in his life. He realized his life way heading no where fast and decided to join the Army. Recruiters told him he is way to fat, lose some weight, get in shape, and come back. When he started, he was 6’0 248!! I think about 1.78 pounds of that was muscle. He couldn’t afford a gym membership so I put him on a strict diet and started putting him through workout these Army Rangers and I used to do. He stayed on it for six weeks, the only bullshit he was pulling was he was still drinking and smoking…..had he not done that bullshit so consistently….he may be rocking a Ranger Scroll right now. Anyways at the six week mark, he was 221, he went from doing 6 push ups to 33, 14 sit ups to 56, and he could knock out two pull ups….not that much but its a great start. He went from not being able to run a quarter mile, to running an 8:54 I believe was his fastest. Then like everything hes ever done…..he fucking quit and hes right back to ground zero again…..

He was an in shape kid, always went to the gym and played basketball, with the occasional bicep or chest routine every now and then and a piss poor diet. He was scrawny though. I believe he was 5’11 152 when we first started. Hes basically been my workout partner and i tweek his diet. His only downfall is he wont eat as much as i tell him to of shit like sweet potatoes and shrimp and he says he is just to full….yet put him in a pizza buffet and you’ll be there for hours. But he is doing great. He is 174 right now with about 7% body fat, every pund he put on was lean mass to. Never did he get bulky or anything. 22 pounds in a year is pretty fucking good. He to is competing in the same Physique Competition, he will probably take gold haha.

My latest person I wrote just a nutrition plan up for and gave a few tips on a solid workout routine was my buddy’s girlfriend. Just started with her not to long ago, but at her first 10 day weigh in marker she dropped 6 pounds and she has another weigh in coming up in 2 days and she says she is already wearing smaller pant sizes ans they fit great…..whatever.

I did have one kind of failed attempt. My mother was trying to lose some weight but I can almost promise you she wasn’t following her nutrition plan…..she lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks then stayed the same the next 2 weeks. It was also hard to yell and scream and really try to make her push….shes my mother haha. It was a bad situation.

I have studied the NASM PFT course and am ready to test, I have just been busy with school. But let me tell you this…..It was an absolute waste of 600 fucking dollars. That bullshit is garbage. Now i see why you go into most gyms and the personal trainers are in terrible shape and their clients see minimal result if any…..complete bullshit. Basically paying a 600 admission fee to start being illegible to be hired by gyms. Such garbage man.

Ill type up a routine for the ol wifey to. All she has to do is fax me a hand written 5 page essay covering why im probably going to ban Jesse Holland……Yours is on the house though

it’s lunch time

Can’t believe Randall and Shiv haven’t bombed you with pics on that one

My shoulders are just a weak spot for me . I’m at the gym 5 days a week been going for about 8 months I’m putting in the work . My diet is gotta be the only thing missing it’s hard for me to eat the amount I need to grow .

Usually I use the shoulder press machine and then hit the dumb bells but fatigue sets in fast and I can only do a few different routines before I’m burnt .

What’s your opinion on TRT?

Dude with normal sized legs but a huge gut and flabby arms gets ‘warmed up’ in the weight area then walks over to the guys waiting for the bjj coach to start class. He shakes out his arms like he’s the Reem and starts in on a story about how 5 guys last night said they knew he ‘trains the MMA’ and wanted to see how tough he is. He says he doesnt want to abuse what he has learned, but they gave him no choice and “put them all down.” When it’s time to roll I pick him, and say I want to be challenged by someone as tough as him. We start standing, he shoots for a takedown (dude smells horrible, always wear deodorant boys-etiquette), but is not nearly low enough, I catch him in a guillotine and he quickly taps. Says he wasnt ready, but now he needs to go home. One tough motherfucker.
