I was the typical guy that was in good shape during high school and college. During those times I was active and worked out diligently. I was around 160 pounds with a body fat percentage of 7%. I could eat pretty much whatever I wanted to and as long as I worked out and played some ball I was good to go. After college I stopped working out as much and steadily the pounds started to creep back on. I noticed that my pants were starting to get tighter and I had to buy bigger pant sizes. I finally hit the bottom when I noticed that fat rolls were starting to hang over my jeans. Although I was afraid I hit the scale and was mortified when I saw the 189 pounds show up. I had gained almost 30 pounds!

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Lean Body, Labrada
Sunday, November 1st, 2009I’ve always been the fat kid growing up. At the age of 11 I clocked in at 187 pounds. My parents are obese and I guess it is genetic. Of course I can’t blame it all on genetics. My main staples growing up had been McDonald’s and Pizza Hut. All throughout my school years I was tortured by unrelenting kids who would purposefully try and tear me down because of my weight. This made the problem even worse. I was eating because I was unhappy and at the same time unhappy because I was eating. I was caught in this vicious cycle of death that at its worst had me weighing in at 387 pounds at the age of 26.

Lean Dessert Protein, BSN
Saturday, October 31st, 2009It’s my junior year in college and as a collegiate basketball player I’ve learned that to be at my best I need to work on my game but I also need to make sure my nutrition is on point too. Unfortunately I had to learn that the hard way during my sophomore season. I remember it like it was yesterday. The game was tied and I was guarding the other team’s best player. He was a 6 foot 5 shooting guard who could drive and shoot. He was an all-conference selection and many people think he might have a chance to play pro ball.

ProV60, Labrada
Friday, October 23rd, 2009It was about three years ago that I stumbled upon weight training. I was training for my next mixed martial arts fight and was well on my way to going to the UFC. I was 13-0 and had won all of my fights by knockout. During a sparring session with one of the trainers I felt my knee pop and I hit the ground like a ton of bricks.

Pure Whey Stack, Champion
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009I’ve been involved with competitive power lifting and bodybuilding for over 8 years and I’ve seen every fad supplement come and go. If you want to get lean and strong forget about all the fad supplements you hear about and go out and buy yourself a tub of Pure Whey Stack by Champion. No matter what other supplements you take your body cannot grow without adequate protein consumption. To really build muscle you need to consume about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight. For example, I weigh 190 pounds so I need to consume 190 grams of protein per day. That’s a lot of protein and it’s virtually impossible to get that much protein through whole food sources.

Pure Pro, ABB
Tuesday, October 20th, 2009Being the CEO of a company definitely has its ups and downs. As the Chief Executive Officer of a small logistics company I’ve been able to make a good living. My family is taken care of financially and I have enough money put away to send my son to college when he gets to be that age. One thing about being top dog is that you’re the go to guy whenever there are problems that need solutions. Needless to say there is a lot of stress that is involved. That stress along with working long hard hours has taken its toll on my health. I’ve definitely noticed less room in the waist of my pants and it’s not nearly as easy as it used to be taking the stairs at work.

Syntha-6, BSN
Sunday, October 18th, 2009It was the end of my junior year in college and my dream of playing college football was dying fast. I needed to pack on some serious muscle if I wanted to try and walk on the team. I was a good athlete in high school and played the three major sports; football, basketball, and baseball. But football was my passion. There was nothing I loved more than hearing the collision of the pads and the cracking of the helmets upon impact. My only problem was that my metabolism is so darn fast that it’s almost impossible for me to gain weight, or so I thought.

Ultramet Lite, Champion
Friday, October 16th, 2009I hit rock bottom when I tipped the scales at 413 pounds. I had always been obese even when I was a young child but I was only 30 years old and on my way to an early grave. I decided to get stomach surgery and figured that this was my ticket to a long healthy life. I got the surgery and it turned out to be a success. My doctor told me that the aftercare was the most important thing and that I needed to make sure I didn’t over eat but got all the protein and nutrients I needed.

Ultramet Low Carb, Champion
Thursday, October 15th, 2009After having twin girls your body is certainly not in tip-top shape. I was sagging, drooping, and about 40 pounds overweight. I wasn’t expecting twins so I was a little overwhelmed by the whole ordeal. I also was having a case of post-partum depression and I was feeling very sluggish and down on myself.

Ultramet, Champion
Wednesday, October 14th, 2009If you want an extreme body like I do then you need to invest in Champion Ultramet meal replacement shakes. In this fast paced society we live in it is almost impossible to get proper nutrition. It’s no wonder that half the country is severely overweight. I was watching a television show on weight loss and the trainer said it is best to eat 5-6 small meals a day. I thought to myself that would only be reasonable for guys like that whose only job was to look good. I thought to myself there is no way I could prepare all that food and have that much time to sit down and eat 5-6 times a day.
