M3:D26 Talk with a champion

June 8, 2008 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment


What's on my mind today?

This was not my original post for tonight, but plans change.  As I mentioned in previous posts, I've been carrying on email correspondence with Carlos De Jesus (inventor of the Quad Blaster) and we've approached some very intersting issues.  Carlos is very wise.  What is best about communicating with Carlos from my perspective is something most people would not catch.

You see, we can go online and read information from Chad Waterbury, Tom Venuto or even Jay Cutler, but how often are you presented with the opportunity to actually talk to a true champion?  That's what happened to me tonight.  For 1-1/2 hours, I had a telephone conversation with Carlos De Jesus (1981 Winner Natural Mr. USA, 1981 Winner Natural Mr. North America, 1985 Winner Professional Natural Mr. World).  What is even more incredible, Carlos actually initiated the call based upon our email correspondence.

We discussed many topics tonight.  Carlos gave me his input on nutrition (I told him my secret ideas and he agrees with them), he gave me his input on training (he agrees that your body really has to take a pounding to get bigger), the fitness industry (top secret), blogs (he's visited mine and several others that are linked from ine), God (Carlos and I are both brothers in Christ), The Anabolic Diet (Carlos has read the book and we had a nice discussion about it) and many other topics.  I find Carlos to be amazingly informative.  He is very wise.  This is the kind of person I will listen to because he walks the walk.

I have totally changed my attitude towards transformation in the past month to two months (pretty much started around the time of my nutritional experiment).  I'm not sure my views would be popular with the Shreddersphere in general, but I will be expressing them as time goes on.  I have discovered a few things that will now be included in my eBook.  Most of what I've discovered has to do with nutrition.  Nothing I've discovered is earth shattering, but with some research, everyone could discover the same things.  More on this in the future, so keep coming back for more.

It is late and I need my rest.

Find out what I'm doing to my body!

Today I went for an outdoor run.  The target I wanted to hit was 20 minutes and a heart rate of 129 to 152 beats per minute.  I managed to hit both sets of targets.  I enjoyed running in a new area and saw some beautiful scenery along the way.  I am very committed to this new program of steady state cardio during my bulk phase.  I can't wait for tomorrow to see what my results are so far.
 
Exercise the brain with the Thought of the Day!

“To reach newer and higher levels of perfection, we must be willing to pay the price; sometimes that price is enduring more suffering, more agony, more pain.” (Carlos De Jesus)

Note: Perfection here is defined as personal best.
