I had NO IDEA all the thought, technique and body science behind getting big; i just lifted in the hopes and confidence that the motion alone would get me ripped. Not until my Senior year, when i got really serious about it and researching lifting, did i actually start making some really great gains. About three weeks into your UDT in No Nonsense Muscle Building and already i can feel my shoulders starting to even out and my legs catching up to the rest of my body. I'm going to finish that program out first, but i'm SO EXCITED to try this new one.

A personal example: When I was 16, I had an 80% collapse of my left lung and was in the hospital with a tube in my chest for four days. Many people thought I wouldn't be able to run well ever again, nor pursue my goal of joining the military. Well, I can definitely say they were absolutely W-R-O-N-G because I set my mind to blowing past what people said were my limits ... I went to military school for two years and became an officer and now at age 34, I've been in the Army for over 13 years and have passed every physical fitness test (pushups, situps, 2 mile run) that I've had (we have to take two per year). On my last physical fitness test, I scored 285 points out of a possible 300. Not bad for a "kid" who wasn't supposed to be able to run and do a lot of things, according to the "nay-sayers" in my younger days. I also went back and forth for a number of years randomly trying different weight lifting routines and never could stick to them for various reasons. Near the end of 2008, I found one I could stick to and made the great "beginner's gains" during the first year of serious lifting. Now I've been using NNMB to take myself even further with a great program that provides both structure to give me the training knowledge I need (since I certainly do NOT "know it all" about weight training), as well as showing me how to be flexible in changing my training strategies at the right time to prevent plateaus. I'm really looking forward to getting my copy of MYM so I can go even farther! I'm not the biggest guy in the world (5'9" @ 169 lbs right now), but I plan on getting a lot bigger by dropping fat and adding muscle weight over the coming months ... and yes, I want that "holy crap, how did you get to look THAT good?!?" questions from people in the future. A little vain, maybe, but having come from being the smallest of three brothers and having people see me as the "little guy" for a lot of years, I refuse to stay in that mold and I WILL make people take notice with the results I plan on getting with NNMB and MYM.

I was wondering how much all of this affected your running. I was wondering if this actually helped you run better, or if it made you run worse. (Would the extra muscle slow you down? I don't know. I'm a distance runner, and we tend to be skinny. Although, I am towards the skinnier side of the spectrum.) It would be ideal if I could continue running like I am and become ripped. I'm leaning towards being ripped, but I don't want to give up something that I've been doing for so many years (or do worse at it).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('11204','Sam Bryan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('11204','Sam Bryan','Hey Vince,\n\nI\'m a runner too, and am just as skinny as you were.
