I've had alot of questions lately about progress and how to make some. The answer isn't what most people want to hear. Progress is all about you. Progress depends upon how hard you work and is directly proportionate to the amount of work you put in. There is no magic bullet that can give you the progress you wish to achieve. I can tell you that my body is not the easiest to get fat off of. It takes alot of hard work and dedication. You can do it if you put your mind to it. I always think of Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” It is honestly true. You can do anything if you have the strength. If you get your strength from God or from within yourself, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you use that strength to achieve your goals. Just like the pain you feel when you are lifting, you can and should push through it. I can tell you that it is really worth it. Hard work always pays off in the end. You have to want it though. You have to be willing to suffer a little for the goal you are trying to pull towards yourself. Unless you are willing to experience some pain you will most likely not draw your goal to yourself. I am hoping to compile a video of my training so that you can see just how hard I am really working. I believe that is just another form of accoutability that I am going to start using. Another question I am asked is when will I take off my shirt. The date of that reveal will be August 20, 2008 (mark that in your calendars). However, I thought I'd give you a glimpse of what the Quad Blaster coupled with Vince DelMonte's workouts have done for my legs. 26 inch thighs and 18 inch calves. The interesting thing is that until my calves started growing my biceps didn't start growing. During my bulk I've gained an inch in my calves and an inch in my biceps. I find this correlation quite interesting. |

Today was another 20 minutes of steady state cardio. I upped the speed to 4.6 today and the incline is now at 4.0. It is a pretty challenging jog that I am doing right now. |

Progress is not just a measure of your hard work, dedication and planning, it is also a measure of the amount of heart you have. |
