All natural South Florida.. Doesn't mean he knows what he's doing. Check into the references. Just because he's ripped and shredded doesn't mean you will be too. Is he going to make your meals for you? Is he your own personal food police? My husband is ripped and shredded. His comp is June 1. He knows jack crap about nutrition. He eats what I fix him.

Good luck with your decision. I don't think you should have to buy anyone's supplements. That's like saying, you won't success unless you use my stuff. Hog wash. You can be a success without them. Besides, your body likes whole foods better. It takes more energy to digest whole foods than it does a MRP or PP. MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 He is preparing Exact shopping lists, and meals, times, portions, etc..

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 And Hugh thinks he has it bad with me watching what he eats and strongly suggesting that he do his weight training. He always does his cardio, but sometimes has to be gently nudged to do the weights. He actually does pretty well on his own with the nutrition other than the Meatball Sub last week from Subway. Andyman He eats what I fix him. LMAO He'd > cheat if I didn't take his ATM card out of his wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 > Who on this list use them? > How much a week (money and times a week)? Anywhere from $50-100 per hour here in CA.

Most promote their own program. > I ask because, this trainer I want to use, very respectable, great > references, and he just did a bodybuilding contest and was RIPPED. > SHREDDED.. and came in 1st place. All natural South Florida.. A lot of guys who win BB contests have a genetic affinity for muscle- building. Often they become ripped without really knowing how they got there. Case in point, the guys you see throwing around the weights in the gym who have awesome bods... they get like that in SPITE of how they workout. > BUT.. I mentioned the BFL thing I wanted to do, and he said great fine, do > it, but follow MY DIET, and use MY SUPPLEMENTS, if you pay me. I rest my case. Pick one or the other. BFL is proven to work tens of thousands of times over. Unless you plan to hire this guy to train you every time you go to the gym, you are probably better off with BFL because it gives you the tools to make BFL a part of your life without a lot of complicated stuff. > > Hmmmm > > wonder if i should kinda do both. > Use his supplements, but tweak one, so I am using EAS for one product.. (per > rules/regs.).. thats what I will probably do, cuz i want to use him. Again, pick one or the other. If you try to combine two programs, then you can't fairly assess which program works/fails. > > besides, he's hot. :0 > LOL > kevin. Do you want to date him or get trained by him? Because if you want to date him, you better not hire him to train you. Just ask him out instead. Jen B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
