Take Action Now to Accomplish your Goals

Scott I am really stuck here after 10 great years of training, I am what you would call a recreational bodybuilder- no interest in competition- just want to look and feel good!  As every year goes by I feel like my gains continue to drop off.  What can I do to get things going in the right direction again?  I just turned 42, could I have low testosterone? 

Even with consistent change in training protocols the systems or techniques people use rarely evolve, as they rotate through the same programs every year as we are all creatures of habits.  In this situation I look to innovate both training and nutrition programs to bust through staleness which not only brings new gains, but also makes training enjoyable again.  Five clients come to mind that I have helped in similar situations over the last few months and I reviewed their files before answering this question.  They averaged gains of 8 pounds of lean muscle mass and losses of 6 pounds of body fat over a 12 week period and all were over 40 years of age in already very advanced condition.

 Perhaps the most common mistake I see amongst experienced recreational bodybuilders is this constant use of high reps which necessitates the use of relatively low loads.  You are not a powerlifter by trade, but notice how thick many powerlifters are simply from using heavy loading.    Instead of the typical 8-12 rep schemes move into the lower brackets for multiple sets for a change.  Power-Building Training uses heavy loading which will stimulate the fast twitch fibers with the greatest potential for growth.  Consider what is the difference between performing 6 sets of 6 reps of a squat vs 3 sets of 12?

Same number of reps right?  Ask one of my clients- a whole lot of weight is the difference as the set of 6 will allow for a much greater poundage per rep.  You will still satisfy the iron gods with your sacred rep requirements yet your quality of work will dramatically increase.  Now there is a limit to the number of sets one can do in a given workout and heavier loading will stress the nervous system to a greater extent making recovery outside of the gym more important than usual. 

A workout of this type may be limited to 4-6 exercises as there is a finite window of opportunity to train for natural people- about an hour not including warm up, otherwise your muscle destroying- fat storing cortisol level rises like the stock market after a great economic report.  Stocks up – Good- cortisol up- BAD!

The Brain Runs the Show!

 A profound connection exists between the nervous system (brain) and muscle growth. The brain will send a series of messages to the muscles to establish new muscular growth in the face of a training challenge which can only be triggered by the use of heavy loading.  More experienced trainees can only stimulate the nervous system to support growth by using challenging loads.  A stronger muscle is a bigger muscle!

 Dr. Serrano Steps in

 Now back to the hormonal question- Some men do not necessarily suffer from low testosterone, but high cortisol is the culprit as it negatively alters the vital testosterone:cortisol ratio.  You might want to check out this avenue before extensive medical treatments.  The easiest way to increase the availability of testosterone levels for many is simply to lower cortisol which is elevated by stress, short sleep cycles, poor eating and high training volumes to name a few.  Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis has worked fantastically well to bring cortisol levels back in check for my patients and I have the blood tests to prove it. 

 One more thing- Scott mentions the added neurological stress and the recovery curve associated when training with higher loads- as a competitive powerlifter I began experimenting with amino acids many years ago to accelerate recovery, but I also experienced huge increases in both strength and lean muscle accumulation.  My results varied based on how close I came to the ideal Amino Acid ratios, after a while I figured out exactly how to proportion the ingredients. 

 Years of my research have gone into the development of the 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis  which have consistently produced great results for patients under my supervision.  Besides the use of the highest quality ingredients, the specific ratios and absorption technology within these two items provide an unmatched level of utilization.—Delivering massive amounts of raw materials to muscle bellies and optimizing the hormonal environment.   Remember hormones run the show!

 Zero tolerance Plan  50-100% More Fat Loss in Month 2!

Scott the Zero Tolerance Plan along with the Fat Reduce is awesome- Easy to follow and simple!  I have lost 18 pounds of fat in 2 months and my arms look better than they have in years. My progress was much faster in month 2 than 1- why? and can I expect better results in month 3 than 2?

 I personally follow up with every single client that uses the Zero Tolerance plan and have success collecting feedback from 97% and yes a vast majority have experienced better results in month 2 than 1- in many cases twice as much fat loss during month 2!  I would attribute this to building metabolic momentum as it takes time for the metabolism and fat burning hormones to peak when changing nutrition and training programs.  The body thrives in a consistent environment when given enough time to adapt to the right program and metabolic signals.  Your fat burning furnace will continue to increase each week using the Zero Tolerance Plan-melting away body fat for good. 

Amino Load to Heat up Your Fat Burning

                     Metabolic Furnace

 Amino Loading with 100% MR and Muscle Synthesis makes the brain believe a great deal of food is coming into the system and as a result metabolic rate is increased to process this incoming “food”  however the aminos have no caloric value leaving only stored fat to be burned.  Several weeks of Amino Loading boost energy demand as the body must prepare for the large intake of “food” each day.  As a result metabolism is racing at its peak and can only burn existing stored fat as fuel.  Alpha Omega  works differently as it helps to lower insulin levels (fat storage hormone) via many pathways and this too takes time to optimize depending on the person.

The Fat Reduce  especially needs time to do its best work as its focus is to manipulate the hormonal environment to support fat loss.  This cannot take place overnight but we do have proof that the metabolism increases a great deal from day 1 to 30 based on our trial data which revealed an average increase of 400 additional calories burned per day.  During the next trail we will measure at days 15, 30, 45 and 60.  Based on client feedback and hormonal blood panels I would venture to say that the metabolic increase between day 30 and 60 will be significant. 

Beyond metabolic markers, the combination of Amino Loading, Alpha Omega  and Fat Reduce  , proper exercise and nutrition planning will facilitate fat loss by naturally manipulating all of the factors which govern fat loss.  The Zero Tolerance plan gives you access to all of the success factors with the tested training and nutrition program included with your package.  Best of all you can speak directly with Scott Mendelson for technical support to refine your program to fit your needs.

The Success Solution- Putting it All Together

I just cannot seem to put it together, always off to a good start and get derailed by one social event or another.  What can I do to keep myself motivated and accountable during an effort to get myself back in shape?

Visualize what you want to do and make this motivating force, ripped abs?  a toned physique?  A bigger bench?  Imagine yourself after reaching  your goal and this will fuel your daily effort for achievement.  Remember Success is a Choice!

There are many keys to success but first you must make a decision to be successful which will cancel out any excuses which commonly derail people.  You cannot let social events, business lunches, birthday parties and other inevitable things control your life.  Do not tell me that the clown at the birthday party is shoving cake in your mouth every weekend.   No one forces you to make bad food choices and you can always make an effort to make the best out of a tough situation.  If you get off track- get back on right away and this minimizes the damage done by any slip ups.

Having the right program is of tremendous importance, why put so much time, effort and money into improving yourself if you are using all of the wrong tactics?  I compare writing your own programs to the decision to perform open heart surgery on yourself.  Without saying- not a good idea and it can get you killed!  I promote a focus on quality and not quantity; as a result my clients spend very little time in the gym and still move very quickly towards their goals.  Do not make a lack of time a roadblock- make time!

My job is to facilitate the success of the client and I will do whatever is within my power to support their goals.  Goal setting tools, motivational work sheets, tracking logs are all part of the standard package I provide my consultation clients.  In addition to these items my clients feel that they are accountable on a weekly basis to evaluate their own progress. 

Confidence plays a huge role in the success of any venture; my clients feel empowered to take control of their destiny as they are confident the customized training and nutrition program will help them accomplish their goals if applied correctly.  They are well aware that I will hold up my end of the bargain and refine the programs based on their feedback to ensure success.  There is not better time than now to take control of your situation and get on the road to improvement.  Pick up the phone and speak directly with Scott to discuss your program 614 868 7521

Stacking the Deck in your favor

Dr. Serrano I have struggled with cravings for years, no matter what I do the junk food seems to be calling my name.  I do everything right for an entire day and at around 8 pm I go crazy binging on junk food.  I know I am my own worst enemy but what do I do to stop this?  I see that your Fat Reduce came out earlier this year, how is it working?

Of course will power is a large part of the success equation here, but I have worked with many patients who faced the same challenges.  The body does not require junk food, sugars etc, however consumption of these foods can increase serotonin levels which bring on a relaxing sensation.  People who are highly stressed will seek out sugary foods at any cost to bring balance to their mood; however this is the start of a vicious fat storage cycle as stress hormones facilitate fat storage while sugar provides the raw material.

I created the Alpha Omega to be an advanced essential dietary fat supplement several years ago to deal with many difficulties including what you describe.  The pharmaceutical grade essential fats in the specific proportions determined by my research help to eliminate the strong mental desire for bad food choices in combination with a well built nutrition program.  Stabilizing insulin and blood sugar levels are the key to controlling appetite, cravings and ultimately supporting permanent fat loss.

As Scott mentioned in this column consistency is a key to success and I find that cravings literally disappear after 14 days of good eating and use of Alpha Omega.  You can expect some swings in energy and poor mood at times during the first two weeks of any nutrition change, but it is well worth the benefits.  This is a normal process which takes place when adjusting to a new nutrition program.

 Fat Reduce was a huge step forward for the fat loss efforts of my clients, during the extensive research process I tested the compound in my office and saw great results. I nearly fainted when I saw the before and after results of the metabolic testing performed.  A 400 calorie increase in daily metabolic expenditure is unmatched in the industry.   Based on the latest report sent to me by Scott Mendelson the resale rate is over 90% which is very impressive for a fat loss product. 

I wanted to take the fat loss equation one step further by not only impacting metabolism, but also by naturally manipulating the hormones which govern fat loss.  This gets pretty complicated so I will be brief.  With the wrong hormonal balance- you are screwed and this can be altered by any number of factors.   The  Fat Reduce was designed to optimize hormones to unlock your fat burning potential.  After checking blood work on my patients and controlling for other factors I see what the FR is doing behind the scenes to facilitate fat loss.  Patients who have made an effort with both diet and exercise while taking the Fat Reduce have thanked me, but I always remind them that credit is largely due to those people who take action to help themselves.  I can unlock some doors to opportunity, but they must run through!

Scott I am completely frustrated with my progress.  I train 5 days a week with intense effort and commitment- yet poor results.  After serving a tour in Iraq I think it was much easier than achieving the physical transformation I desire to start a new career outside of the military.  I have talked to some of your clients and seen testimonials- but what is it that makes you better than any local trainer I can find?

This iron game can be massively confusing as it counters logic in many cases. Without knowing much about you I can guess that you are overtraining which is common amongst the hard working people in our society.  Your mind set is” more is better”, when in actuality you must consider what the body can do in terms of recovery before designing a training program.  We know that discipline is not your problem; rather you are working hard, but not smart.

I will pose a question to you- if you have tremendous car trouble would you work on your breaks for example if you had no expertise?  That could be a risky proposition- you could have a fatal accident if they did not operate correctly.  I feel the same way about training, why chance your hard work on a generic program you pull out of a magazine or on the advice of trainer one year out of college with no experience?

Anyone who thinks they know it all stops learning and I aim to get better at what I do daily.  The results of my clients would be the best marker of my expertise and I invite you to remove risk from the equation as they have done. Sign up for a consult with me and in the unlikely event we fail you get your money back.  How is that for confidence?  To date I have never had anyone take me up on a refund as I find a way to get results every time.  If the goals are realistic- I will get you there!
