 Today is the 60th birthday of my dear friend, Carlos DeJesus. I wanted to take the time to publically thank Carlos for everything he has done for me the past 8 months. I am really looking forward to our continued friendship in 2009. With Carlos’ help I will continue making major gains. His mentoring has been invaluable to me. I have learned more in 8 months about training than I learned my entire life prior to that. Carlos is a truly amazing man. He is undefeated in 36 tested bodybuilding competitions. That is a truly amazing record that I guarantee will never be broken. As a result, Carlos is the real deal. The principles he teaches are the very principles that allowed him to win the 1985 Professional Mr. World title. Yes, Carlos is a World Champion. I find him to be quite a humble man. As I speak to him on the phone, there are times he has a point to make and I get entranced just listening to his wisdom. I try to repeat back to him what he’s just said to confirm that I’ve picked it up correctly. Carlos has taught me a multitude of principles, but none has worked better for me than the principle of the Experiment of One. As a result of learning this principle, I’ve experimented with both nutritional and training ideas and have found the things that work well for my body. This is such a valuable lesson! I am now able to create my own workouts and can modify my nutritional plan at will because I completely understand how my body is going to respond to the changes I make. It is no longer guess work, it is more of a science now. As I write my eBook (and yes, I’ve changed up the approach on the eBook just like I have on my blog), I’ve realized just how much influence Carlos has had on my life. He has helped me more than he knows and for that I am extremely thankful. I am ready to take on the world as a result of his mentoring. Carlos, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you’ve done. Happy Birthday, my dear friend! |

 Today was my last non-Cardio Coach cardio workout. In 2009 I will be using Cardio Coach pretty much exclusively for my cardio workouts. Today I did a steady state cardio session for 75 minutes. |
