Just one visit to Marc’s site, NoBullBodybuilding.com and you’ll see that he’s serious!

Here’s what Marc has to say about what you’re doing on your road to a better body, "If you don’t know exactly what you’re doing, right from the beginning, you will make many costly diet and training mistakes, and it can take years to get the type of body you want and deserve, if you ever get there at all. In fact, if you listen to the bad advice most “experts” are spitting out these days, you might even go backwards and actually gain fat or lose muscle!

The good news is, you don’t have to go through years of trial and error, slow progress and head-pounding frustration like most people do. You can shorten your learning curve and even slash it dramatically. You can make steady, continuous muscle gains – even if you’re a “hard gainer” and you can lose even the most stubborn fat without hitting a single plateau…

But only if you know all the inside secrets of how the beginner’s and intermediate-level game is different from the advanced game, only if you know which training, nutrition and supplement mistakes to avoid, and only if you know someone who is willing to reveal all of these secrets to you.

All Natural, James Jordan has helped over 36,300 skinny guys build muscle and has, himself put on over 100 pounds of quality Lean muscle. He has written fitness programs for Gold’s Gym and competed in amateur bodybuilding and Olympic level martial arts. Visit James Jordan’s website: HardHittingNutrition.com.

So, just what are his "secrets of success"? James will be the first to tell you it’s not some magic elixir found in a bottle. No, it’s working smart and getting to know your body. Can you really put on lean, hard muscle just working out 10-15 minutes, 3 times weekly? What about diet? What should you be eating? Do you have to put on fat to put on muscle? What part do hormones play in this puzzle?

Listen in as Dave and James Jordan lay it all out.

Join Dave DePew, fitness guru, as he asks Vince Delmonte about his controversial program, billed as “The #1 Rated Muscle Program on the Internet”.

As Vince tells his story, we learn that he was a skinny runner from a long-distance running family. Vince tells us he was like a lot of other guys out there; a “hardgainer”; a guy who just couldn’t gain muscle by following the conventional wisdom in the muscle mags. Then, he tells us, this 149 pound skinny guy discovered the secrets to true muscle gain, to “pack on a clean, 41 pounds of rock-hard granite-like muscle in just under 24 weeks”.

Listen to Vince’s story, check-out his website, VinceDelmonteFitness.com, and make up your own mind.

This is Thomas’ story: From 310 to 192 in nine months…

It all began with being sick and tired, of being sick and tired. In the beginning I was in the mist of a very trying situation, Everything that could go wrong, did. I was also overweight and feeling the effects of it. My knees hurt all the time, if I walked for any amount of time, climbed stairs or just about any physical activity I would run out of breath almost instantly. I knew it was time for a change so, I made a decision to take control of my life and do something about my weight; however I didn’t know where to start. That was until a good friend of mine introduced me to the body transformation club and shared with me how it has changed his life. He told me to talk to Dave and do everything that he says and you will get the results that you’re looking for. I made the call and that was the start of something that even till this day still amazes me.

On my weight loss journey there were many obstacles. The two that stand out the most are the temptation to eat unhealthy foods and allowing excuses to prevent me from making time for workouts. I came up with a saying to combat these urges, “Nothing Taste as Good as Fit Feels.” For the times when I didn’t feel like working out I would always say, “If this was easy everyone would do it.” Those things help me stay in on track and they will also help you.

What’s the secret? The secret is, there is no secret! With anything in life, including a body transformation you have to dedicate yourself, make some sacrifices, take action and work hard. The following is an example of the work it took for me to change my body from the inside out: I committed to a 1 hour workout at Mission Bay Boot Camp 6 days a week and I ate six meals a day. Each meal consisted of a serving of protein (grilled chicken, turkey, fish or eggs), steamed vegetables and a low glycemic carbohydrate (fruit, brown rice or something whole grain)

My advice to anyone who is ready to start living a healthy lifestyle and transform your body is making a decision to change, set a goal and take action. Do not wait until December 31st to make a resolution, everyday presents you an opportunity to change.

Mitchell joins Dave DePew to discuss his new book “Overpower Pain”, based on his work at PT2.

In 1997, PT2 Physical Therapy & Personal Training opened it’s doors with a new vision of how to diagnose and treat pain. The vision resulted from a personal awakening that occurred within the owner, Mitchell Yass, PT. He had realized almost from the beginning of his career that the medical education he had received did not prepare him to address the symptoms being exhibited by the patients he was treating. The diagnoses being given by the physicians who referred these patients to physical therapy did not match the symptoms that the patients had. The types of treatments he was educated to use to resolve the symptoms being presented did not make any sense to him. He found himself in a personal quandary as to how he could in good conscience treat patients knowing they could not resolve their symptoms under the existing conditions of treatment. He turned inward to his personal experience as both a long time strength training advocate and a life long analytical thinker. He came to the realization that the medical community was creating diagnoses incorrectly. These diagnoses were being created in most cases only through the use of diagnostic tests such as MRIs, x-rays and EMGs. Only structural abnormalities such as arthritis, herniated discs, mensical tears and stenosis could be identified. Yass had realized very early on that most of these structural abnormalities could be found in people with no symptoms. Therefore, he had to assume that in the cases where people had pain, there may be another cause and that these structural abnormalities simply existed but required no treatment. He developed a system of clinical evaluation techniques that gave him the ability to determine when the cause of pain is muscular such as with strains, weakness or imbalance or when the cause is structural and requires medical intervention such as surgery.

Yass has determined that in 95% of the cases he has treated, that the cause was muscular. In the other 5% of cases, Yass has referred the patient to the appropriate medical personnel to resolve the cause of pain. Yass has decided that his method and success rate has to be shared with more than just the fortunate individuals that come to his office to receive his treatment. He wrote his first book, “Overpower Pain: The Strength Training Program That Stops Pain Without Drugs Or Surgery” to allow readers the opportunity to use the information provided to resolve their pain. He has begun a publicity campaign to maximize exposure to as many people as possible as to his findings and to try to prevent them from getting unnecessary surgeries or stop them from taking narcotic, addictive drugs that could never resolve the cause of their pain. Studies are coming out almost on a daily basis confirming what Yass has been preaching for the past 15 years. Please join his revolution and spread the message that most pain is caused by muscle weakness. The change in the country’s culture will come from people rejecting the existing system and embracing this method of diagnosis and treating pain. Science is now agreeing with Yass’ approach; now it is your turn to join and resolve your pain for good.
