The Script For The Movie ‘Tuff’

This post is overdue and I admit to hiding for a few days. It’s just that some of the developments with ‘TUFF’ required some late night attention, so I wasn’t able do as many updates this week.

We hit some snags with how some of the supporting characters were written in the script. All is well now, but solutions don’t always come as fast as we want them to. Script writing is frustrating enough to bring a man to tears sometimes.

As for the physical transformation process involved in getting ready be Tuff, I am now in the Primer Phase of the Naturally Massive program. In the past week I’ve dropped six pounds and am noticing the lines coming back around my abs a little.

For those of you wondering, here is how my condition from the start of this:

1. In the areas of physique development, since my last national show in 2001, I have been doing natural development seminars,writing books, producing TV shows and building businesses. The workouts got pretty sporadic, as my training goals were not so competitively focused. The last year and a half got so crazy, I was helping a bunch of people and not training at all myself.

2. Six weeks ago I started keeping you all updated on ‘TUFF’ and my getting in shape for the film, using Naturally Massive. From my ripped to the bone, 176 lb, national level condition in 2001, I was now starting at a very soft and muscle reduced weight of 188 lbs.

3. I got smacked with the flu after my first week, lost a week of gym time, and dropped another 9.5 lbs, resulting in a weight of 178.5 lbs.

4. By week three I felt I was starting from scratch again, as the flu had knocked me back a lot. I started my first Naturally Massive Growth Phase and jumped from 178.5 lbs to 194 lbs over the next three weeks. True, much of that was fluid weight increase, due to fluid lost when I had the flu, but the 15.5 lb gain was noticeable all the same.

5. I am now at the end of week seven (or week 5, if I exclude the first two due to the flu) and at the end of my first week on the Primer Phase of Naturally Massive. My weight has dropped from 194 lbs to 188 lbs. I am keeping all the muscle and eliminating the fat.

My aim for the next Naturally Massive Growth Phase is to increase my weight to between 196 and 198 lbs.

Aside from the flu, the other challenge I got hit with in the past week involved a lower back injury while bouncing my son around in the snow and shoveling ice on the roof of my house. That little muscle irritation cost me a leg workout and my cardio last week. However, by keeping my diet in line and carefully training my upper body to avoid the stitch in my back, the progress has still been very solid. The lower back should be in full working order by next week. Besides, the snow is melting, so I won’t be shoveling again for a while.

I do plan on posting a before and after photo for you in the weeks to come, but first you can expect to get a video series from me, explaining some of the secrets behind Naturally Massive. Talk to you soon.

No Hoax

It seems you never avoid skeptics, especially those who want to be critical because of their own failure or lack of desire to try. I say this because every now and then I get emails from people like this, who have happened across Naturally Massive or The Fat Burn Truth. Without knowing anyone on the program and without trying it themselves these people will take their time to explain to me how these programs can’t possibly work. I get accused of using steroids by some and paradoxically told by some of the same people that I am too small anyway. I share this not to complain, but to relate that the world has its share of people who genuinely believe that mediocre results are all that the average person is permitted to expect. The moment someone begins to share ways to pull ahead, a few people will always become critical rather than try.

On the other hand, some people do believe in the idea that more is possible and they apply themselves to the task of seeing if grand claims have any substance. I had the priveledge of recieving word from a Naturally Massive user, named Alan. This guy has a crazy work schedule and has had to work some hard hours to get his workouts in, but he recently shared his first 6 weeks results with me in an email. (That’s right. Just 6 weeks.)

Alan had started out weighing 188 lbs in October of 2008. Fast forward to early December of 2008 and Alan weighed an even leaner 196 lbs. I am informed that he started with the Primer Phase of Naturally Massive and so wound up doing three Primer Phase and two Growth Phase training periods. (You’ll see what that means in the pages of Naturally Massive, but the total time amounted to 6 weeks.)

Now I know that some people will still not believe this. I mean, Alan’s results are dramatic for such a short period, but the fact is that this is how the program is supposed to work. However, most people out there recognize that bad being natural doesn’t mean you have to get inferrior results in fat loss and muscle development. I think Alan’s results speak to this concept and he was kind enough to let me share his initial six week results with you. Here is a before and after photo below of Alan’s 6 week results:

PS – Alan does post to the comment section of these blogs, so if you have a comment for him, feel free to post something for him in the blog comment area at the bottom of this post. In the mean time, if you want to test my theories for free, just check out this video series HERE.
