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.

We had a huge (long) meeting at work today and I have another one tomorrow.  I do mental exercises during the meetings just to stay alert.  I do the same thing when I do cardio.

An example would be dumbbell presses.  You would do them in such a way that you don't go all the way to the top, keeping the tension on the muscles.  By doing this, you increase the load on the muscles involved.  I find that it gives me an incredible pump.
