In this article I’m going to tell you about:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n But first, let me tell you about my story, and why you should listen to what I have to say.<\/p>\n I’m not one of these “guru’s” who was born with great genetics…<\/span><\/p>\n I wasn’t someone who could easily build muscle, or burn fat. Actually, no matter what I did in the gym. No matter what sport I was playing, or what professional trainer or bodybuilder I was following, I couldn’t make any progress with my training.<\/p>\n I tried bodybuilding. I tried circuit training, powerlifting, and anything else that promised me big results. I tried paleo, low carb, high carb, high fat, Atkins etc… Still, nothing.\u00a0Here I am in high school going into the 12th grade. I have very few pictures with my shirt off\u2026 I\u2019m guessing you can see why?<\/p>\n By the time I reached my mid-twenties, I wasn’t where I wanted to be in life. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Have you ever felt that where you work, how you look, and how people perceive you doesn’t fit the ambitious, strong, and powerful guy you KNOW you are deep down?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It doesn’t matter if you’re a young guy like I was, a father, a grandfather, a student, a teacher, an entrepreneur… If you’ve felt this way, or feel this way, you know what I mean.<\/p>\n Heck, you could even have a great job, and an awesome life, but there’s still the matter of not loving how you look or perform.<\/p>\n Originally, that’s what being skinny was to me… It led me to live a smaller life than what I wanted, or what I felt I had within me to live. Being skinny made me feel weak and helpless, and I’m not talking in the physical sense. Being overweight or fat may have the same effect on you.<\/p>\n I know it has on a lot of my clients, and even myself at one point in my life – but I’ll tell you about that in a bit.<\/p>\n When I finally\u00a0did<\/em>\u00a0build the body I’d always wanted, I had more confidence, but I also had more energy, increased motivation, and a quiet confidence that came from accomplishing something that had eluded me for such a long time.<\/p>\n My transformation led me to:<\/span><\/p>\n What kicked my butt into another gear was the thought that this unconfident young man was going to be who I am for the rest of my life. That scared the crap out of me. This is the emotional reason that I wrote down when I first started my transformation.<\/p>\n Now, about that transformation…<\/p>\n The only reason why I’m now 185 pounds of ripped, athletic muscle, is because of a job I got right around the time I started boxing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I had been fighting (boxing) and looking for work for a number of months when my Old Man introduced me to the owner of one of the best gyms in my city, who was also his close friend.<\/p>\n My Dad’s friend saw something in me that I hadn’t seen yet. He liked my work ethic, and gave me a job – which was more like a paid internship under his head trainer, a guy in charge of writing the programs for the dozens of professional athletes that trained in his facility.<\/p>\n This guy, who I’ll call my mentor, turned how I trained upside down. He showed me the myths that I was following daily, that held me back from building my ideal body. He took everything that I had been following and threw it out the window. And thank God that he did!<\/p>\n … Because that’s when I started to grew stronger, leaner, and help others do the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n From that first day of apprenticing with him, I dedicated my life to helping others build their dream bodies. The stuff I learned from him, and the hours of studying, and testing theories since, have allowed me to help hundreds of guys like you build their dream bodies. I’ve gone on to be featured in magazines like Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness, and sites like Bodybuilding.com and EliteFTS.<\/p>\n Walking into that gym on my first day of work, I had a body that looked like this…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n 9 months into this apprenticeship, THIS is what I looked like\u2026<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n It also propelled me to start my own business – something I’ll tell you about in a bit – where I’ve helped hundreds of guys like you and I burn off excess fat, grow stronger, and build their ideal bodies. And I’ve helped them do this while spending less time in the gym.<\/p>\n Guys like Barry…<\/p>\n A guy who was overweight, unconfident, and lazy, before he decided to Man Up! And take the PowerHowse Challenge. Look at him on the right. Today he\u2019s a different man. A successful one. Ambitious. Full of energy, and RIPPED.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n After Ivan\u2019s transformation, he started his own business, bought his dream car, met his dream girl, and is living a life he never thought possible. He has more energy. A greater ability to focus. And, more importantly, he\u2019s happier, all because he decided to Man Up! And take the PowerHowse Challenge.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Back to my mentor, and my<\/em> transformation…<\/p>\n Here are 3 of the main Fat Loss Myths<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Things you’re probably doing that are holding you back from burning any real amount of fat. These myths are keeping you from building the strong, ripped body you’ve always wanted.<\/p>\n Myth #1 To Burn Fat We Need Higher Reps<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This is an embarrassing fact about the fitness industry:<\/p>\n When you get your certification, they take you through a course – no matter what certification you get. In this course they lay out how to help people reach certain goals. They (any certifying body) are preparing new trainers to enter gyms all over the world.<\/p>\n They’re also doing so by perpetuating myths like this one. In the certification courses they break each training goal into a different rep category. Here’s the thing, no goal – whether it’s building muscle or burning fat – can be reached by focusing only on one rep range, or even once cadence. We need changes in both to see sustained progress.<\/p>\n Why?<\/p>\n Because our bodies adapt to the demands we place upon them. Doing the same training week after week will result in momentary progress, but from day 1, our bodies begin to get used to the workouts. It takes about 4 weeks for our bodies to completely adapt to the training, and our results plummet.<\/p>\n A recent study out of the University of Alabama pitted two groups of women against each other in a fat loss test.<\/p>\n Group #1: the High Rep\/Endurance Group<\/strong><\/p>\n Group #2: the Low Rep\/Power Group<\/strong><\/p>\n Group number one performed exercises at very high, endurance reps – like they tell you to do when getting your certification. While group number two performed only heavy, weight lifting exercises at lower reps.\u00a0Both groups at the same foods.<\/p>\n At the end of the experiment, both groups had lost the same amount of weight. But the heavy weight lifting group (group #2) had lost MORE FAT.<\/strong><\/p>\n The test showed that to lose fat, we need to be incorporating at least some heavy resistance training into our routines. This is a lesson my mentor taught me early on. And one that I’ve included into the PowerHowse Challenge, the solution that I’ll tell you about in a bit.<\/p>\n Myth #2<\/span> There’s One, Magic, Fat Loss Diet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The fat loss nutrition industry exists because they perpetuate fads. A fad is good for business because it creates a buying frenzy. You can hear it at any coffee shop or watering cooler…<\/p>\n “Have you tried the ‘so and so diet’? I’ve lost X amount of pounds.”<\/p>\n Fad diets help us burn fat… for a while. They don’t help us accomplish sustained results.<\/p>\n What does? A lifelong commitment to healthy eating. What that healthy eating looks like for you may differ from someone else, depending on what you can sustain over your lifetime. There are diets that encourage cheating once a week, which helps raise leptin levels – a hormone that boosts our bodies ability to burn fat.<\/p>\n There are low carb diets, and slow carb diets. As a part of the PowerHowse Challenge Nutrition Guide, I give you specific, healthy, and tasty meal plans that will help you burn fat, maintain muscle, yes…<\/p>\n … But do it in a way that you can – and\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0– sustain for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n Myth #3 Long Runs Help You Lose Fat<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When most of us think about burning fat, we immediately thing about going for a run, or a bike ride, or joining a spin class. Well, those things won’t help you as much as sprints will. Actually, they’ll do more harm than good when it comes to burning fat and maintaining muscle.<\/p>\n Sprints, on the other hand…<\/p>\n I’ve included a sprinting program with built in progressions that will help you burn even more fat, to go along with the PowerHowse Challenge.<\/p>\n Because of these myths that he helped me avoid. I began getting in the best shape of my life immediately. I began burning fat, and building muscle at a rate that I, nor anyone I knew, had ever done, completely without the use of illegal drugs.<\/p>\n As soon as I stopped prescribing to these myths…<\/p>\n I had more energy, a greater ability to focus, and to be honest, life became better. My work was done at a greater quality. I slept better. I felt superhuman compared to where I was at before I met him and started the apprenticeship that would change my life.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n But I wasn’t about to stop there…<\/strong><\/p>\n After winning my last fight, I decided I wanted to break off on my own, and start my own business. I wanted to learn more, and help more guys experience the life-changing transformation that I experienced.<\/p>\n Through the principles he taught me, and the 3 years of intense testing and learning that followed, where I read every book, article, and study imaginable, and even added other principles, creating my own theories and techniques, I created the PowerHowse Challenge. The program that is specifically designed to help average guys \u2013 like I was \u2013 build exceptional bodies.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n After my apprenticeship, and branching off, building my own successful training business, I became obsessed with finding the best training methods for guys like you and me to finally start seeing results in our training\u2026<\/p>\n I mean THE VERY BEST METHODS ON THE PLANET.<\/span><\/p>\n I took what my mentor originally taught me, and built on it. Over the next few years I spent my waking hours helping guys build their dream body in the gym \u2013 and in the kitchen \u2013 then put my remaining hours towards research. I tried everything. Studied what worked best and what didn\u2019t.\u00a0I still do this today.<\/p>\n I then decided I wanted\u00a0more<\/em>\u00a0guys like us to benefit from what I\u2019ve found.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n So, I started my online business (the web site). At first, it was a passion project. But that passion project blew up. I started writing blog posts, but \u2013 at the request of my growing readership \u2013 I put all of my training lessons, techniques, myths, and tactics into a\u00a0122-page ebook.<\/strong><\/p>\n More than that, I\u00a0knew the importance of following a specific program.<\/strong> The need to have something that you can print out and have in front of you when you\u2019re in the gym so you can DOMINATE a workout, and not have to guess what you should do next.<\/p>\n I also saw my progress, and the progress of my clients who TRANSFORMED\u00a0their bodies with the programs. Guys who struggled\u00a0to burn fat, who, for the first time in their lives, were able to build their dream bodies in only a few months of training.<\/p>\n So I added 9 months of programs specifically to help you improve every week, becoming stronger, faster, more powerful, and MUCH MORE athletic. I then added\u2026<\/p>\n I wanted to over-deliver on the value of this program, and by all accounts, I’ve done that.<\/span><\/p>\n If I told you that you were going to have your dream body in 9 months,\u00a0if<\/em> you paid me $1000, would you?<\/p>\n That’s a lot of money. But I bet you’re at least thinking about it, am I right?<\/p>\n I probably would’ve said yes, back when I was skinny. I wanted to change my life so bad, that there’s no real price limit I would’ve set on something so important to me.<\/p>\n If $1000 is too much, how about $500, or even $200, for a specific, and purposeful plan that – if followed –\u00a0will<\/em> help you build your dream body. I would have said yes to all of the above for a guarantee on a transformation.<\/p>\n But that’s not what I’m charging for this entire system. Not even close.<\/p>\n I want everyone to have access to this solution that took me\u00a0YEARS<\/em>\u00a0to create, so I\u2019m giving it to you for $47.That is, a one-time fee of $47 to get:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n
