This is rare as saber tooth tigers in New York City. So please excuse my hyperbole.
Today I was afforded the given an opportunity to train a 30 year old with most unbelievable potential I have ever seen.
Over the course of the last 50 years, in gyms all over the world, I have seen (more than) my fair share of bodybuilders,
armature and professional, all shapes and colors, race and religion. And this guy has it in spades.
We met today to go over his goals and expectations. All very doable . . . some size mostly, which he already has,
and some fitness which he clearly has already.
His shape and proportions are perfect except for his calves. Low muscle attachments all around, perfect shape,
round full muscles. Great legs and calves. Calves, the best I have ever seen on any human being (think Fankhouser,
Matarazzo). Abs too . . . you name it. And great looking too, a winning smile. And kind as can be. Blond hair and
perfect skin to round out the package. And about 5’ 8”, 5’ 10” tops. I have no clue what he weighs and don't care.
Measurements; don't care and will never be taken by me. Before and after fotos, absolutely. By me or his wife,
whoever he feel most comfortable with I hope it is me as that is what I do for a living.
I saw him at the gym a few times just farting around with weights while his two kids were in daycare there.
I asked him if he competed. He said he did, in college . . . he played soccer! He trained with weights only for
two months in the summer he started collage and gained 15 lbs! But that was years ago, other than that he is
literally untrained and knows very little about weight training. I told him he has unbelievable potential to go
as far as he wanted to in bodybuilding. He was a bit taken back as he had never thought about it, he just
wanted to be fit(er). Fit, anybody can do. And a retarded goat could probably train him now with good results.
Will see what I can do.
He approached me last week and asked me train him which I will do for the next six months or whenever he
says stop or I surmise I am wasting my time. No obligation other than he does what I say and works as hard
as humanly possible. He said, I’m in. And zero money will change hangs. This is on me. I do not need or want the
money which he offered. He is lean as a hounds tooth now, a clear six pack, still plays pick-up soccer twice week
which is no big deal to me.
It’s been a long long time since I have trained anybody (I am a bit of a lone wolf). The last guy I trained did very well
(fotos on this site). The others said it was too hard and decided to adopt PEDS which I admittedly know next
to nothing about. We also ran into some copyright issues with the fotos, fotos I no longer possess which is just
as well in retrospect.
I suspect when he sees the results he may be in for bodybuilding which is a purely desire on my part as he would
be absolutely amazing based upon what I have seen so far. I predict, in two years’ time, if his mom, had not seen
him in the interim she will not recognize him. If he jumped on a stage now on a regional level, he would probably
do very very well.
We start on the 31st with a full body evaluation, explain some physiology and exercise performance, what to do,
what not to do. He may be a no show (I doubt it) or he may be a huge disappointment when it comes to training
at which point we will part ways. No hard feelings. We are both on the same page for now. Time will tell.
Will keep you all updated.
I am cautiously optimistic but with his potential the sky is the limit if he so desires. My opinion.

And he has a meal prep person already because he is so busy with two kids and a very successful, high end, property manager business he owns and operates.
Clearly it is working for him so why fix if it ain’t broke.
