Why Fitness Expose?

April 21, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

I am just a regular guy who started out just like you.  I was confused and bounced from idea to idea.  The concepts weren't sticking because everything sounded right.  I had no idea what to do and it showed. 

Principles Drive Success

Eventually I learned some principles that were not cut and dry, but were guidelines to me being successful at my fitness endeavor.  By applying the principles I learned I began to see changes in my body.  Things changed faster in just 6 weeks by using the principles than they had in more than a year prior to that.

An Idea is Born

After seeing my results and realizing that it was the principles I was lacking I decided it was time to spread the word.  I decided to evangelize the entire fitness community to get them to stop the insane information overload.  Getting the vendors to stop has proven impossible because they want to make as much money as possible.  As a result, I realized that I should be bringing this information directly to you, the public.  That's why this site was born.

Partner With True Fitness Professionals

First, be sure to check out everything you read.  Next, partner with true fitness professionals.  This is how you are going to get ahead in this game.  I have personally partnered with several big name fitness professionals who are going to help me spread the word about information overload.

Sign Up Now!

If you haven't done so already, now is the time to sign up for our eNewsletter.  This will get you on our mailing lsit so that you can be informed of the latest developments in this area.  Rest assured that we never sell your information to anyone else.  Your privacy is our biggest concern.

Once you've signed up for the eNewsletter on the right, you will begin to see your life change as you take action and change your fitness level.

Mission 2, Day 78: Peaceful day

April 21, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today was a scheduled rest day.  I enjoyed my time off.  Starting today I will not be posting my nutrition log.  It is now classified material as I attempt an experiment with my nutrition.

I strongly believe that everyone in the Shreddersphere needs to understand that we are all role models for those people who read our blogs.  As such, when an experiment is conducted we should not post those things in our blogs until we've completed the experiment and can accurately portray the pros and cons of what we did.  That's what I'm doing for the next 4 weeks.  When the experiment is completed I will post the details of what I did (I'm still keeping very detailed records) and how it made me feel.  You will be able to see how my body is reacting because you'll still have the benefit of my daily photos.

11-May-08                        
                         

So I have been eating 3000+ calories and it has paid off with alot of LBM.  I managed to lose 0.3% body fat and gain 2.42 pounds of LBM.  Honestly, I doubt I gained that much in one week, but the fact is that I'm heading in the right direction with that issue–LBM up and fat lbs. down.  This proves to me that eating enough and training hard will bring about good results.  It also tells me that my body is very responsive, so I can't wait until my bulking phase begins!  Bring on the muscle!!

Until later…GET BACK TO LIFTING!
