P.S. I failed to mention one thing: I’m not going to reward the winners out of sympathy or because I feel sorry for you. So please do not use financial reasons or lack of moola as a reason I should award you the membership. I want a reason that will inspire me and others reading.
Instead, I want to know how a body beyond the norm will change your life, the lives of your loved ones, how you would be and live differently… think beyond yourself.  Basically reasons that are going to make it really hard for me to pick three winners… LOL

Hey Vince and Flavie,
I have a few reasons and one of them just hit me the other day and Flavia mentioned it in one of your videos..Women will not date skinny guys and I am 155 IBS of NOTHING! I have worked out off and on almost my entire adult life with minimal results to show for it…I was 135 IBS when I was 18 so I have gained a bit but still look skinny! Also I love feeling and getting stronger and feeling healthy..I am all about the healthy lifestyle and I would love to do what you do and that teach others to get healthy physically and nutrition as well is so important! I believe at 34 years old I am finally going to commit 125% to a program..maximize your muscle..and I already have my before pic..now I just need an after pic! wohoo! Let' do this thing!
I want to spread the awareness(which is really less in this part of world) about benefits of exercises & fitness in India(where I live) , which in turn can change lives of thousands of people. Obviously that can be done only when I set an example for them.
Further here in India it is a common belief that great body can be made only and only using steriods and people rely on them on largely without knowing its side affects. I also want to educate people for healthy body building without use of any steroids.
Everyone has hardships and it is all in how you handle it. When i feel that way or a real strong emotion, instead of anything that dulls life i look to performing my maximum or new goals in myself and most of the time busting those goals to the point that i need more and i crave more. Without this feeling, stregnth wouldn't come to me. I can't imagine how else i would feel other than having complete control in my self.
As if that;s not enough reward, it's like everything else fell into place. Even though problems showed up, and sh%t in life happens , i trained my brain or whatever into that exact same mode, the thinking, the problem solving. NOTHING is impossible. Only THE LIMITS on yourself. It makes overall a better human being. Being so perfect with eating and stregnth traiining needs patience and there is sweet rewards.
If i win then i guess i would be pushed so i had no more excuses if any left. SO I hope i win so i have to hit all aspects i can !!
Possibly looking better than you Vince! LMAO jk.. Thanks for this opportunity. God bless.

It says i need to split this into 2 comments. ..
Just like everyone else who knows what hard work feels like and some of the hardships that come with it, I believe the more you strive within yourself the more you can become anything you dreamed of. It's like feeling that actual part of the universe you always knew was there but didn't really feel it quite yet until you knew how much your body and mind contribute to everything around you and the obstacles you can face now and overcome.
Having such great control of your own body feels amazing obviously and it shows in everyone who has ever done that really good achievement of being so in control and knowing what to do next in life.
If one can do this, then what can one do for the good of the world!
i want to maximize my muscles and become something ''above average'' because ive grown tired of being looked down on as the skinny guy. I have worked out for a year but my minimal results tell me that i dont really know what i am doing and that bugs me. It has been good for my self confidence to work out, but comparing my results to others does the opposite at the moment, but i know that with the right coaching (you naturally
) i could rise above average and be better than i ever imagined.
I am also continuously inspired by the story of 'Sampson' in the Bible. You seem religious, so i suspect you've heard of it. a man so strong he could break buildings and pull down temples. I want strength like this. but i could never hope to achieve it. So those are my reasons for wanting your programe. I dont want to be a role model, i dont want to help others, though i dont mind telling them how i train. I just want to be unbeatable. And i want to show off my strength to others. With or without your routine, i wont stop, because i will always be aiming for a target i could never fully achieve… kinda like applying for this competition after the deadline has closed…
oh well, you had to have at least one selfish, and truthful answer in your survey . . .
(I guess i could give one "suck-up" comment aswell, so here it is) I love your newsletters

yeah, i know i'm past the deadline, but i still figured i'd have my say… I started weightlifting when i was about 10 years old. not properly.. not intensly… and not thoughroughly. I began because i lost an arm-wrestle at school.. well, probably several arm-wrestles. and i hated it. i wasn't weak, but i wasnt strong either, and i hated that feeling.
To tell you the truth, i dont want to be a person who inspires others, because thats not my primary goal. i want POWER. i want to be stronger than every one else, so that i know that i am better than them. i want to be selfish, i want to be the strongest man in the world… but i havnt got the genetics to achieve this. Its because of that reason that i will never stop training. i could never hope to achieve my goal, but i will never stop trying to achieve it. its like the idea of putting an 'unstoppable force against an immovable object'.
Another one… Thanks for submitting Alex:
Vince,
I have a strong feeling that I was destined for something greater. I have tried my hand in business, languages, and have tried to blow past my skinny genetics. I make some progress in each area, then slide back. I need to reset my thermostat! If it is true that the lesson I learn and the results I get in changing my body will affect the other areas of my life, then I need this program badly. I was recently asked what I fear. It is regret. To get to the end of my life knowing that I did not give it all I could would cause me great sorrow.
Your NNMB is helping me right now. I am looking forward to the second 12 weeks since I have never done giant sets before. I hope this will help me pass through my plateau. I plan to then use your MYM to get to the next level.
I hope this will be a launching pad to change all areas of my life. I deserve a better body because it is a lifelong dream and I want to be an inspiration to others. I would love to fell so confident in myself that I could then help others become successful, including my wife and 5 sons.
Help me blow past my genetics so I can reach my potential in all areas of my life. If changing my body can do of this, teach me more, please!
Your friend, Alex in Vernon, BC
im only 12 and i got a six pack from this. if i could do that anyone can
LOL… sorry you couldn't find this page Phyllis… I posted yoru comment below:
Phyllis Landis from El Prado (TAOS) New Mexico. To start with, I am 5"2" tall, or short as the case may be, weigh 115 lbs, am 73 years young, ski the double blacks in Taos Ski valley and am looking to create a safe and effective strength program. To get to Kachina Peak in the ski area you must walk abound the mountain at over 12,000 feet. To do this requires strength and endurance. The last time I did it, it took 1hr and 55 minutes and I was last to get there. My goal is to cut my time in half and be in the very front of the pack.
In addition to that goal, I want more muscle so I can burn more body fat and have a killer butt and killer abs. I once told my son, who is 47, that I wanted my butt to be in such great shape that when I died I could be upside down in my coffin. Now that is a long, long way off so we have time to work on it.
Please help me by awarding me the prize.
PS. I also want to inspire my significant other who is in the Health and Fitness Industry and who is a younger man.
I love this one… you can feel the energy:
Hey Vince,
Ill keep this short because i know your very busy with the release of mym. Im Jiaan, a 16 years old kid and i love NNMB! Before i started, i was very tall and VERY VERY skinny. I weighed 130 pounds and im 6'4! im not kidding. The doctors told me that i couldn't gain weight because of my metabolism and my dads genetics. Ill bet that you can guess what i said. FUCK THAT! I started lifting and eating alot but nothing was changing, i started to believe that it was impossible. Until i stumbled upon myyyyy "skinny guy savior". YOU! In a period of a little over 6 months I put on 44 pounds of lean weight. My confidence went through the roof and i was getting compliments instead of rude remarks. There is one problem though, i have stopped gaining no matter what i try. I even increased the meal plan to 5000 calories! As you would assume i look a lot better than before but im still thin for 6'4" and i would like to take not just my life but my physique to the next level. Please read my comment on the blog of why i deserve a body better than the norm. Your and inspiration man, and i hope to turn out like you someday. Oh yeah congrats on the engagement Flavia is HOT! tell me what you think.
Stay Positive!

I believe that we have an obligation to ourselves to open all the boundaries of our personality. But before we can do this we have to make sure that our temple [the human body] is in top shape. The analogy that I use is that of a wheel. The spokes of the wheel are the intellect, social, spiritual, material, intuitive, etc. The hub of the wheel is the physical body. Without which we could not move forward.
Life should be live to the fullest and to concur with what Vince stated that excellence in fitness should be spun into everyday life.
Also, I am proud to be a role model for my threes physically active granddaughters. In addition my daughters, are also active coaching gymnastics
Several years ago I was having knee problems and the Sports Medicine Doctor diagnosed arthritis. He advised me to get back to weight training. Fifteen years later I needed knee replacement for both knees. My active lifestyle help me recover quickly from these operations. Today, I reached the same level, in the 1-leg press, that I achieved prior to surgery.
It is only when we make the effort to step into the unknown that we open the doors and discover there are no boundaries to what we can do. Can’t is removed from your vocabulary.
I will be an octogenarian this summer and I will not be a burden on the healthcare system. It disturbs when I see people in my age bracket practising to be old. A little exercise would bring quality back into their lives.
We must continue to raise the bar and I look forward to participating in “Maximize your Muscle’
Yours in Fitness,

Hi Vince
I’m a 20 year old woman from Australia. In 2008 when I was 18, I went to San Francisco to live and work for 2 years, I made this decision to travel by myself because I am not the average women, I don’t need to follow suit, I like to live, think and act better than the norm. It was in SF that I subscribed to your no-nonsense muscle building.
I love your holistic approach to fitness and life. I find that any good training program can be implemented in many aspects of life. The dedication, mindset, goal setting, planning and execution of a fitness plan can allow you to be successful in all areas of life, as these aspects go beyond what your body is capable of doing in a gym.
I believe that if you have the ability to help someone, you have the responsibility to help them. I strive to do better in everything that I do, this includes the way I look and feel, the way I treat others, taking care of the environment and being more than just the average person. MYM will allow me to do this to a higher standard.
When I have a body better than the norm I will be able to prove to other people that extraordinary things are possible, I will be physically and mentally better than average which will encourage others to be better themselves.
No one should leave their health to the last minute. Vince, I have the mindset, I want MYM to be my way of achieving exceptional results

Hey Vince,
I want to look better than the "norm" because it's a different side of life I want to explore. I want to be the guy people respect and look up to as a leader instead of being a follower. I also want to inspire more people than I already have with my recent progress, my who family and close friends are going to the gym and its a big change, But if I can do that I want to Inspire everyone out there who felt like they were destined to look the way that they do.
I've tried everything just to gain a little bit of weight even if its fat because being called skinny your whole life hurts more than people think. I want to be successful, because lifting weights and exercising is not just about body building it also teaches you lessons. Ive learned that success is nothing but small efforts put in day in and day out for a long period of time until your goal is reached, not an overnight thing.
I want this because I know that I wont let you down. I know many people are competing for this but I assure you that whatever they do I'll top, I'll run the extra miles and pump the extra sets. I may seem a little too confident but this is what the workouts have done to me, Ive learned that if its meant to be its up to me and i am not going to doubt myself.

another really good one…
ell I was never the “small guy” in the room! I am 6’1” and at my larges I was about 255 ( to clarify none of that was muscle)! I hated they way I felt and looked but it was easier just to stay the same than it was to do anything about it.
Then about 3 years ago I was told I had cancer. I was only 43 and I was in shock. I never exercised or ate right but still I was too young to be sick! Well I had the surgery and I have been fine ever since but one thing my doctor told me was that carrying fat around my stomach was dangerous and I should try and get rid of it.
So I did I began to run and run and run! I lost a ton of weight but I couldn’t get below 220. My doctor informed me that I was still too heavy ( I could see my gut no one had to tell me!). It was then that I started strength training. I bought the "body sculpting bible" and went through the work outs and was soon at the advanced level. I had my first 6 pack in my life at age 45. I was doing cardio and abs every day and lifting 6 days a week! I looked and felt great. This new body was not "lost " on my wife!
Then I got hit with a couple over use injuries.. Tendonitis in both elbows and slight tears in my rotator cuff. I was told by my doctor that I was “too old” to be training with weights and I had to stop. The pain that drove me to the doctor was far from mild so I stopped and I assumed it would pass after a few months rest. When it didn’t I went to another doctor who told me the same thing. I was not willing to give up so I went to a 3rd doctor who sent me for PT for my shoulder and gave me injections in my elbows. Now I am back in business.
I do feel I have hit a plateau and I would love to bust through it. I love the comments and the looks that I get. The people who know me look at me and say “I cant believe he was sick he looks better than me”! If I win your contest the prize will not be wasted because I am 100% committed to having a body out of a magazine (even though I am about to turn 47) because it makes me feel alive to look this way!

Here is another one from Rebeka…
We all were born greater than the norm but like most others, somewhere along my 55 years of living I settled for less than I am but no more! I deserve a better body because I’m earning it. I’ve bought three of your awesome muscle building programs to date, but now I’m ready to blow past the norm, blow past my genetics, blow past my age and finally show the world the greatness I was born to be.
Feeling better, stronger, and healthier will affect every aspect of my life. I’ll live better for it, but it’s very important to me that I look better. I don’t want to just talk the talk. I want to prove it with my body and show people that if I, a 55 year old female can do it, anybody can do it. I want to inspire others to live greater, healthier, bigger lives! That’s my passion, to help raise the quality of life. So I ask, "How can I serve?"
Thank you, Vince for this opportunity and I promise that if I win, you will get 100 % commitment out of me! I’ve already taken my before picture and I’m ready to go. With my greater than norm body I’ll be able do and offer more to everyone around me. Gandhi once said, “You must be the change you want to see in the world," I really want to win your program Vince, because I want to be the change!
Thank you, Vince!

This is a post from Adrian…. I'm posting for him cause he could not submit it himself:
Hi Vince,
After reading some of the blogs here I am probably a little unique, unique in the fact that I am nearly fifty and very happy with my lot in life, When I do something I do it with passion and perfection, every thing seems to be working out for me in life, my career, my relationship and being very happy. I do admit though hat I need a little help with the just getting that little extra out of my body, Most people I have read are trying to put weight on but I am the opposite, Since having two hip replacement several years ago I have lost 30 odd Kgs and have achieved many things, I would like to say my body is pretty ok but would like my gorgeous girl to sizzle when she sees me, don't get me wrong I am very proud of my achievements and my personal growth in the last seven years but I did say back then I would have a six pack by Christmas, well seven years later I only have a 2 pack,,lol.. The strength is there but the other abbs are hiding, I would really much appreciate your help to just go that little further and make all my hard work pay off. My boys have also started working out and it would be nice to pass your information on to them and help them to achieve the confidence and the body that I know they want. Now young adults I am sure they want to live big and be proud, proud of them selves, their achievements and even prouder of their dad, they just love hanging out with me and it would be nice to reward them with probably one of the best tools in life, "to live life BIG… I am sure your program will help them and I on our way to even better things..
Cheers

VInce, im Gabriel from Tucuman, Argentina i want to be something greater than de norm becase someone once told me that we can have more than what we have if we become something better than what we are, and i want to be pretty better tahn the norm with my body, with my relationships, with my goals, because i want to be better than norm in real life. so i ask you… Why settle for being normal or good, when we can have incredible? would you?i also
Hi Vince !
I go to the gym 2-3 per week but i'm not seeing such results like you have.
As a child i was very skinny and always dream about a nice body. Now i'm 41 and still want to achieve that someday.
I think that your free membership can give me the right "kick" to start seeing great results, first because you put great stuff together, and second because it could be free.
Great job !
Thank you very much !

I just want to say in a simple way " that when i walk with a massive crowd i should not be a part of that crowd. hope u will understand wht i realy want to say .
thanks
sumeet "email id "sumeetgodkar@gmail.com".
When I was little, I was super skinny and could run REALLY fast. I was the fastest runner in the entire school, until I hit Junior High. I then started gaining weight, and was unable to do what I once loved. I have always loved running, but after Junior High I just couldn’t.
I have been exercising for the last couple years, and have worked off much of my weight. I am the strongest I have been in a long time, but not at the level of fitness I want to be. I never follow fad diets, I eat healthy and am trying to balance proteins/carbs/fats properly.
I will be graduating high school this year, and I want to hit college in the best shape I can. I have found that when I am healthy, there is a huge improvement in my ability to think and process information. Being in peak condition will help me focus on what needs to be done as I go through the next phase in life.
I want to show people that no matter where you are in life, you can achieve your fitness goal. I want to be a motivation to people to get in the best shape of their life.

Hey there Vince! My name is Felipe, and the reason I want to look above the norm is simple. I've always felt I DESERVE to be above the norm. Ever since I was a small kid, I've known, rather than believed, that I was different from everybody else. And surely enough, most of the time I would exceed everyone around me, though most of the times, it would only be in the intellectual field. And even though I'm quite fit and not too hard on the eyes, it's not easy keeping up to my own expectations when, despite my efforts, I can't seem to go a single pound above 110 lb. And besides, you said it yourself, muscles can (and do) boost one's confidence, something that's always more than welcome.
Anyway, I've been putting to practice some of the anabolic targets from your free-report, and they've been a great help, even if they're but the first steps in a life-long journey. I thank you for that.
I hope to hear more from you soon enough, and even if I don't win, I'll be sure to keep training my body and living up to my expectations.
Thanks a lot

Vince,
For too long now I have been overweight and out of shape. It’s getting to the point where it is starting to affect my health and well being. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I know, without a doubt, a better body will change my life. It will give me back my health, and the energy to go out and experience the all this world has to offer, instead of viewing it from the television. I believe the U.S. as a whole needs a better body. With a better body, I will be able to go out and spread your message to my family and loved ones, and one by one increase the health of all people in the U.S. It is important for me to look and feel better than just average, because average to me is giving up, and I for one hate giving up. Who strives to be average? I DON’T! I strive to be great, both physically and mentally, and I believe these go hand in hand.
I could ramble on and on about why I deserve a better body, but it really comes down to one simple truth. I know it may sound cliché, but I want to change the world, and without a doubt I feel you can help me get started.

Vince, I tried so many times to send in my essay and it would not accept it. i emailed it to you. hope that works for you. Thanks.

Hey Vince,
My name is Kenny Phillips and I’m from Bloomington, IN. I have been thinking about your question all day and have finally narrowed downed the real reason I want to look greater than the norm. I want to look better than the norm because it symbolizes 3 things; Authority, Commitment, and Power. Whenever I see someone that looks better than the norm, those 3 words pop up in my mind which is something I truly desire. I believe a better body has a positive effect on a person’s mind. It helps them walk taller and tackle obstacles they otherwise wouldn’t have due to looking like the norm.
I believe a better body will not only change my life but it will change the lives of hundreds also. I want to obtain a greater body because I want to show others they can reach the same level of success. As of now I’m working on a getting a major in nutrition. I chose this major because I have a burning desire to help others get in shape. As of now 65% of American Adults are overweight and the number is only increasing. I want to fight this growing percentage and I believe a body better than the norm will help me achieve this. I want people to see me as having power and authority in this situation and also being committed to help them reach their fitness goals. This is why I deserve a better body.
When I was 12 years old, I would carry a stick with me in gym class to ward off the bullies who would pull my gym shorts down. I took to weights to make sure I wouldn’t be the kid everyone picked on. While I did achieve some level of success, it was never made those deep-seated feelings of weakness completely go away. My resulting shyness and lack of confidence not only restricted my enjoyment in life, but also deprived the people in my life of everything I could provide.
Today, my life is all about enabling other people to get present to their own greatness as the Team Leader of a leadership body here in Santa Barbara that is committed to empowering others to live extraordinary lives. This has been tremendously rewarding for me; however, in recent years I have focused so much on others that I let my physique slide.
As I turn 40 this summer, I am excited about continuing to be an inspiration for the hundreds of people whose lives I touch by achieving my greatest shape ever. This time, instead of it being a compensation for fears of inadequacy, it will be the manifestation of my pride in myself, love for others, and joy at being alive. And for the people who lives I touch, watching this transformation occur before their eyes will inspire them to achieve similar feats in their own lives.
I'm sick and tired of the status quo: "You're Not in Bad Shape" "If I were as thin as you, I wouldn't worry about a thing" "You will add weight when you reach your 20's" "You will really start to put on weight when you get 30" "Now that you are in your 40's you will really start to gain the weight you want" I'm tired of remaining the same skinny guy, who 'looks' weak, and is treated as such, although I am indeed strong, dynamic, vibrant, healthy, fit and strong! I want my body to reflect the true man that I am within! Finally, once and for all! – Michigan, USA
First off congratulations to you and Flavia on your engagement and hope your marriage life is everything you dreamed it would be. Have you ever been told that you couldn’t achieve the dreams you bestowed upon yourself. It just isn’t possible, that is what they all told me. Why, because I’m only a 5’6” 22 yr old guy who has a goal to play pro basketball in the NBA or overseas. For the past 8 years that is all that interested me. So I did anything that I could do to improve my game from weightlifting to running to plyometrics. But my H.S. coach always would tell me that I would never succeed at the next level because I was just too small.To be honest I think he had a personally vendetta with me. So he would always find reasons to make me run extra suicides and just make me do more so I could quit. But I wouldn’t quit because I told myself I was going to play H.S. and college ball. After H.S. I found it hard to get a scholarship because of my size, where I can really showcase my talent and then started suffering a lot of injuries.
Ira Underwood, New York
Hi Vince,
My name is Lionel. My mission in this life is to inspire and lead others to live from a place of Love, Light, Passion and Truth. I believe the best way to carry this mission out is by being a living example.
I moved to Toronto from Trinidad 9.5 years ago. This was the first time I lived on my own, and I had to adapt to a new country, climate and culture, new people, and the challenges of university. It was a difficult challenge, and I found myself struggling with depression. I spiraled into an abyss that cost me health, relationships and my sense of self-efficacy, and I stood at the edge of ultimate self destruction. The emotional pain had become so unbearable that I knew I had one choice, die, or become stronger. Obviously I chose the latter and thus began my journey of self evolution.
For me training my body builds my sense of being able to overcome adversity and face the challenges the world throws at me. A key psychological shift occurs in me when I push my limits to increase my threshold and contiguously expand my impact on my world. Your saying that it takes the same stuff to play big inside the gym as it does to play outside of it, in the world at large resonates with me.
Having come from the brink of self annihilation to a place of self appreciation and gratitude, I want to give back to others and help them along their journey. There are a million excuses people use everyday for being where they are in life, when truly all it takes to create a happier life is a commitment to being and giving more. I truly believe in the adage that, “When we commit, providence moves too” (Goethe). I start with my body, because it is a simple practice and bold statement of commitment to myself and an extraordinary life. It allows me to set an example for others and also creates and analogy for teaching broader lessons in life, because how we do anything, is how we do everything.
I believe that we are all here for a reason and we all have important work to do. When we step up to living our mission fully in life we bring light into the world that helps other people find their way. It is infectious and the benefit is exponential. I have looked at your business grow over the past year and a half and you are one of those people. I have seen your marketing evolve and I can sense a growing depth in what you are creating here. I respect, admire and congratulate you on this, thank you for giving your gift.
Wow, 486 words – I'm sorry Vince! Not sure how else I could have worded it to 250 words or less, and still get the story across.
I'm not attempting to "win you over", "sell you" on myself (or my individual story), or "hope to make you feel guilty". What follows is the TRUTH.
I don't want to just bypass my individual, genetic, potential in the gym. I long to "intentionally" affect those that I work with in every facet of training, including everyday LIFE! (After all…If we are just impacting our clientele's physicality, but neglecting everything else, what good are we? We are "paid" to impact our client's lives in a positive way. If we don't do that beyond the "physical", how can we ASPIRE to be a name that is associated with the top tier trainers? ) I'm currently training a 13-year-old that is running a 4.9 "40", but if I don't nurture him to be a "man-of-character", then what good is his "God-given-athleticism"?
In a time when "show-me" is valued more than "prove it to me" (via character), let's reverse the tide. America has accepted "settling"…which rarely elicits contentment. Forget settling. How about "working" tirelessly, regardless of "outcome"? I don't aspire to be like everyone-else…I aspire to only accept what I deem worthy…in every facet of life and be MORE than everyone else. Complacency, and boredom, will only elicit "average" results. If people "buy into" what you have to offer (regarding all facets of evolving), they will experience results beyond their "wildest dreams".
I Thank You For This Opportunity,
God Bless

Hi Vince,
Just noticed you said to leave your last name, sorry I forgot to that on my earlier post.
Added it to the info below & just to be safe here it is here too : )
Alistair Jelley
Hi, Vince! Thank you for this opportunity! I want my body to look greater than the norm because it would make feel greater than the norm once again. Apparently I used to be stronger, fitter than the norm – people would tell me wow, you make this or that look easy! I was in my early 20s and rock climbing in a gym four evenings a week, training with a running club for a marathon, kayaking once or twice a week, hiking on weekends…and all this while working both a full-time and part-time job!! I honestly didn't know how good a shape I was in at the time; my strength, conditioning and skills were all activity-based and improved almost as side effects of getting better at sports. Oddly enough, even though I was a bookworm child, so you'd think I'd notice the difference, I still took it for granted that being in shape was easy. People would tell me I looked hot… and my response would be that I was just being thin and young! LOL
After getting married I started moving around a lot (military spouse), so I no longer had my group of active friends to hang out with. I started slowing down, a lot, especially when I would go through periods of depression, at being away from everyone I knew, from losing a career and having to start over so often.
At some point, I decided that feeling that way was defeatist, and I vowed to "be my old self". However, when your "old self" was 20 and running a marathon, and your "current self" is nearing 40 and barely able to finish a 5K… let me just say that many times it's easier to say, "well, I guess I'll never be able to do that again" or "I guess I'm getting old" than it is to dig your heels in and go. I've been overcoming an iron deficiency as well, which makes it all the harder, but I am determined to succeed.
Two years ago I decided that succeeding in the journey, not feeling sloth-like, sick, and non-energetic, was a bigger goal than anything else…. so I studied for the NSCA-CPT, passed, and have been training people for a while now. According to my clients, I am a very good at motivating them to succeed, and they see a lot of success…. but me, well, I still look like my same thin-ish but soft self. I am so busy helping others succeed, driving them to get over that nasty sluggish, non-energetic, I-can't-possibly-do-this feeling, that it's mentally hard for me to make time for myself to continue my own journey. This not-greater-than-normal-body has me feeling trapped, and I feel that if I could push through and get my body to be greater than normal, I would open my potential to BEING greater than average. I need to finish strong, not in the middle.
continued
If I had a body better than the norm, I would use my knowledge to spread my knowledge to as many people who was willing to listen. I would use myself as a way to a vision that anyone can improve themselves not just in the weight room but in life if they are willing to put forth effort. I would use myself as way to motivate and create positivity. In conclusion a body beyond the norm can be seen as a stepping stone, to help me reach my dreams which can help repay my family for all they have done and sacrificed for me. It can be used as way to help me as well as others understand that you can do anything you want to do as longs as you willing to push yourself pass the limits you or other people labeled on you. . In life, if you continue to work, through all the mistakes, through all the pain and sweat, success will come in some form or another. But as long you know you did everything possible to become a better person, you will have achieved something that nobody can take away from you. So I leave you with this, there are many things people can take away from you but they can never take away your ability to persist.
Continued
I lost the 4 potential scholarship offers I had finally got after all these years. But I never cursed god because god test you to see how strong your faith is. I have been training religiously for the past few months to build my knee strength back. I feel my body was made for maximize your muscle as a way to take my body to a new place, not just physical but mentally. After all these injuries I suffered I feel a better body would change my life for the better. It would make everything feel like it happened for a reason. A body beyond the norm with strength to top it off will help get me that much closer to the pros. I deserve a better body just as much as anybody because my body’s been broken, battered and beat down but I still keep pushing. I know where I’m headed and you can help me get there. It is important to look and feel better than average because when you do, you have confidence and hold yourself with a higher value. You have a presence that stands out to everyone around you. When you feel better your presence makes people around you want to feel and be better. But it is best to be better than average with a humble demeanor.
Since having been confirmed with M.S., I have acquired an almost obsessive compulsion to be healthy and superstrong, as if to rid my body of the “ demons in my neurons”… ie a self confessed “neurological exorcism” if you will. My background might shed some light on this behaviour. From ‘Best and Fairest’ three years running at Aussie Rules Football League junior level; twice runner up ‘Best in the League’ at age 16; physically fit, active, strong, a track and field star. I write this not to impress you but, to impress upon you, how life’s best laid plans can be subject to such turmoil and challenge. Therefore, natural selection or evolution has led me to my dream to realistically inspire others to achieve their personal best in their chosen endeavours. In my personal case, health issues have had an extraordinary and profound pivot in my life… hence I want to dedicate myself to be super strong both physically and mentally and therefore, improving the health of others. ’
Hi Vince,
Firstly thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome prize.
I've been training for many years & have always felt i was limited by the genetic lottery & have tried to push past these imaginary restraints without a lot of success.
I completed 'body for life' transformation comp approx 8 years ago & I got phenomenal results, my body fat was at the start 21% & I finished 12 weeks later at 6% body, fat which i am extremely proud of, however & its a big however, i have been training in what feels like a perpetual state of plateau ever since.
My weight has been, up & down, most recently I have dropped 10kg in body fat through some really tough cardio work & superset circuit weights training mixed with kettlebell work as well, but even though I am pleased with the results, as my weight has dropped i cant help but feel like all I'm accomplishing is returning to the way i was 8 years ago. I dont want that, in fact I need to be better than that to feel i have progressed through all my years of training.
I know I train hard & am a disciplined guy with my nutrition, I also know 100% i am capable of not just pushing past my genetic potential, i believe I can amaze even you with my results Vince, all i need is the tools to guide me through & my mind body & soul will do the rest pushing my body to where its never been before.
I am ready for your challenge Vince & want to make you proud with what i can achieve through your amazing programme, take a chance on me & I'll happily keep you posted with my results both in the written form & also wtih pics for you to use to help inspire others following your great website & blogs.
Thanks Vince, I hope i'm lucky enough to win this prize.
Take care & train hard brother

People in the past walked an average of 10 miles a day and had these beyond the norm bodies. Beyond the norm was normal back then and it is how I should be. I will not consider myself a true human being without a body beyond the norm. It is WHO I AM.
As a high school student, I have to go through a triple period class (combined AP Physics and Calculus) almost every day, just sitting there and taking notes. I can only stay focused for more than two hours straight thanks to caring for my body and eating well. It's time to take my body to the next level.
I will be much more charismatic with a great body. I will be fully present in the moment and bring up the energy for others around me as well. I really understand that this is very important especially in a relationship. When my body feels great, I can be happy, spontaneous and energetic, and I can turn any moment in any situation fun.
My body does a lot for me and I really appreciate and care for it. I want to make sure it's as happy and healthy as possible. I'm tired of society making people in skinny jeans look cool and big buff guys the aggressive jerks. Society needs to wake up and encourage people to be their true authentic selves.
I am an eighteen year old boy who is enlisted in the ROTC program at MTSU. For years i have been training in weightlifting, cardio, and military exercise. I also eat really well and have drank nothing but water for the past five years, because of the military. I workout a lot, but to much to over train I do believe. I even skip out on parties just to train. i have studied the so called best ways for this and the best ways for that, but i am not getting the results that i am looking for. Don't get me wrong i am getting a little improvements. I'm in great shape won two pt medal and a trophy in cross country, but i have the body that doesn't look like a runner nor a buff soldier.
I know that I can look and be the best i can be, but i need someones help, someone like you. I'm also doing this for my sister. We didn't grow up with the silver spoon, but thats a story for another day. Bottom line is I'm her hero, and I need to always be her hero.
Please Vince I'm asking for your help. Thank you.
Let me ask you something and lets be honest with ourselves, who doesn't want to LOOK LIKE A MILLION BUCKS. Better yet a BILLION BUCKS. This situation is just like winning the HIGHEST PAYING LOTTERY IN HISTORY. I WANT TO BE THE WINNER OF THE 2010 GREATER BODY LOTTERY, I WANT TO MAKE HISTORY. The answer is everybody does, but the only way that you can do that is to be BLESSED the opportunity to create a Greater Body. I have dreamed for years about my body being cut up and having those six pack abs that drives women crazy. I NOT ONLY WANT IT, I TRULY NEED IT! I am tried of my Norm body in which I have suffered with for my entire life, yes numerous years of excruciating pain. When I look in the mirror day after day I have tears of anger in my eyes and heart. I especially hate the summertime every year only because I am afraid to take off my shirt and be ridiculed and laughed at. My number one goal is to one day be able to take off my shirt and watch everyones tongues tasting the floor. Have I not suffered enough, please help me achieve the Greater Body I am DESTINE TO HAVE!!!!!
Hey Vince,
NOTE: I'm not trying to win the contest so don't count my comment in with the others…
I don't even know why I read your stuff, buy your programs or watch out for your emails! I don't follow bodybuilding programs and don't have any intention of being a bodybuilder – yes I'm building a body but not with the same focus as a bodybuilder. My training is very athletic based, so a bit off from what you do.
My point is, no matter what type of training I do or you emphasize, it's totally irrelevant. Since the first time I came across your blog a few years back, I've been seriously impressed with how much your business has grown, how inspirational your work is, and your dedication to providing nothing but incredible value to your subscribers and customers.
From your programs, I may not be following them to the T, but the intensity, the drive and the commitment to excellence really strikes a chord with me, and that's precisely why I read your stuff, buy your programs or watch out for your emails. Because there's always something more than fitness and nutrition that I can pull out of these programs, and to me, that speaks incredible value if someone who is not really focused on the main objective of the program, can still pull out great information.
I'm having a lot of stress in my life now as I'm working to build up my own fitness business. And I just want to say thank you to you for inspiring me to choose this path of helping others and delivering life-changing value, as well as constantly reminding me that there is NOTHING wrong with striving to be in the top 1% of this world and to become better than the average person.
I sincerely wish you success with this launch, the rest of the development of your business, your marriage, and whatever else you're heading for in life. There's not enough high-achieving people in this world, and I applaud you for confidently choosing this path.
Jessica Walker
Jessica. I'm so glad I found your post. This is a really special message and I really appreciate your heart felt response. I'm glad I've able to inspire you and it sounds like you have a super bright future on your path too. Keep rocking sista!
Almost forgot! I'm from Ohio.
I recently closed my eyes and I seen a vision, yes a vision of a 2010 Greater Body that would chage my LIFE FOREVER!!!!! I ask myself everyday why should I always except the so called Norm in every aspect of my life. If you Never strive for perfection you will Never achieve the true success that life has to offer. The only thing is that you have to work harder and smarter than anyone else who wants the same dreams and goals in life. For my entire life I have always been fat, and out of shape in which had me decouraged, unattractive, embarrassed, with No true help in the near future. I was always teased about my weight and appearance. I was heartbroken for years thinking that this was the way my mind, body, and soul was meant to be. Only until Vince Del Monte came along and with his insight gave me hope that my body, mind, and soul doesn't have to remain in the Norm state that it has always been in. I want people to look at me in awe and see the glowing aura of confidence that ONLY A GREATER BODY WOULD GENERATE.
Hi Vince. The question. Why do I want my body to look better than the norm. Well, I am in the business of motivating people in several ways, first in my full time job, I teach people how to step outside the box when it comes to teaching children with Autism. Secondly, I also motivate people who take my Spin classes at my gym. It is important that I continue to keep myself educated so that I can share my knowledge with others. I also am inspired by people such as yourself who have found ways to be extraordinary and want to share what ever they have to reach out to others. That is the type of person I am , and the type of people I want to relate to. I want to be able to not only be a role model for others in the way I physically look, but also in the way I think. I feel that as a 51 year old man I can be an inspiration to both the younger people and those closer to my age. Everyone needs to see that they can be the best they can be. I strive for that all the time, and want to help others to have the same belief and faith in themselves. Thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts with you. Entering this contest is more about being able to share and help others through example, rather than doing this for myself alone. What good is it to be able to be better than the norm if you can't help others to feel the same.

Let's level, Vince: In 2006, out of undergrad, I'd have looked at your screenprint T-shirts and said, “He's got nothing to teach me that I can't learn for myself.”
That's the self-important jackass I was. I'd earned my degree; I was admitted to law school. So what if you had pipes? I had letters after my name. If I wanted Hollywood pecs, too, I didn't need DelMonte to show me how to get them.
Turns out, I'm not that smart. In fact, I'm kinda … normal. Grad school about wrecked me, and I look, eh, maybe a bit stronger than I used to. The library, the gym – same story: You don't have to be the most knowledgeable or the most gifted. But you have to want it more.
So, got my J.D., spent 2009 unemployed, uninspired. But I had time to think. I realized, whatever my pursuit, normal is boring as hell. The classes I dug, I didn't scribble notes and jet. I joined study groups, concocted flashcard games. And my best workouts weren't thirty reps and a shower. They were fast-paced, dynamic. The similarity is, the work didn't feel like work. It felt like success.
The good Lord's seen fit to find me a job this year, Vince. I've resolved to judge less – even the guys in Affliction shirts – and to get strong enough to smile more. Make no mistake, I'll bust my ass, but I'll love and appreciate every minute. That's above-average. Sounds like fun.
hey Tyler… you're new humble attitude will serve you well. Thanks for sharing.
Vince,
Ever since i was sixteen I have wanted to be go beyond what was considered normal. I have trained hard in martial arts and in gyms trying to achieve this. However it has been very hard due to all the terrible supplements and misguidence that is out there on muscle gaining. I am a very motivated and goal orientated man. I have a gorgeous girl friend that is an international judo fighter who has the looks and body fat percentage of a model. I desire to finish my business administration so that i can make enough money to provide and marry her. I would be able to attian this by next year and that is how long your program is. So i think it would be great to get in the best shape of my life so i can look great for her just as she does for me.
Another goal of mine is to have an earnt build with no drugs. A build that people would look at me and see that i have a build that is beyond the norm and that has been earnt through hard training. I want to live a life that is big inside and outside of the gym. Thank you of the potential oppertunity of a life time.
God bless,

All my life I’ve loved animals. As a kid, I decided to give up meat, and my childhood became one long struggle because of it. Through a combination of eating little, a fast metabolism, and being a cross country runner, I was extremely small, and by 15 I still weighed less than 100. My peers were less than tolerant about my eating habits, and would often hurt me or lock me into lockers, threatening not to release me until I agreed to eat meat.
When I started lifting in hopes of gaining an ability to defend myself, everybody laughed and said I was wasting my time; that I’d always be weak and small. Since then, I’ve managed to squat and deadlift over 400 and bench over 300, and now weigh 220. So far, however, my routines have focused solely on strength, and I have yet to put on enough size to overwhelm people the way that I need to.
While I’m now fairly muscular compared to the norm, “fairly” muscular is not enough, and I will not stop until I have blown beyond the norm. People will find it hard to ridicule vegetarians after they’ve met one that is twice their size. I don’t want to blow beyond the norm just for me, but for every vegetarian who has ever been abused. I want people to see that showing compassion for animals and standing up for something you believe in doesn’t make you any less of a man.

Hi Vince ,
When i first started working out , i followed the normal of buying those magazines of those bulky men that i was hoping to be like them , again my parents told me its impossible with all the "blah…blah..blah" and it really didnt work..So i stopped halfway again. Then i saw a vid on Arnel one day and and his 16 week program , then i saw Skinny Vinny on his No Nonsense Body building and thought to myself , these great people were once like me and it is possible. I just started following your program on No Nonsense bodybuilding giving myself 6 months for the transformation and i must say so latest vid in Vegas with one dude really motivate me…" ***k that! " Whenever people try to pin me down. I want to get ripped and show to all average Joe that it is possible and like what you say in the video, “How bad do you want your goals!”
Simply said , I Want this Vince!
Hi Vince
I already have a better body than the norm for I've been working out for some 11 years now. I can tell you from my own experience that enhancing my body thru hard work and learning from my mistakes has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve undertaken.
I have to admit my self esteem has improved dramatically along with my physique, which also lead to me being able to focus on other areas, like my personality, values, discipline, and especially helping others.
Yes. I worked as a personal trainer in the past and had the chance to help others achieve their goals and look much better than they thought possible. Since I am living proof that great things can be done if you really believe in yourself, I have conveyed this message to others with complete honesty and deep conviction.
Although I am no longer a weight trainer, I still enjoy building muscle and improving my looks day in and day out, and still help other peers build the discipline needed to not only change their bodies but also accomplish many other great things they want out of life. This program might just be the chance to take my passion to the next level.
Thank you

I will bust my butt to look and live better than the norm. With the right plan, I already know I can achieve great things to exceed even my own expectations. Building a body above the norm makes me feel, work and act above the norm. The greater my success, the more others notice and be inspired themselves to live beyond the norm. I want to be a "walking billboard" of success that I can share with others. Please share MYM with me and I'll take it from there. Thanks.

Honestly, it probably doesn't matter much if you pick me or not. In fact, you probably shouldn't. Why would I enter and say that? Because I will overcome my challenges one way or another, with or without your help. You can choose to help, and potentially make my life easier, but in the end I will still get overcome whatever is in my way, even if it means taking the longer "scenic route" in life. And whatever I don't overcome someday, it will be because it ended up killing me instead.
I'm not as bad as Sean Stephenson or anything, but I've spent my entire 33 years of existence fighting my own body. I spent every other day of my childhood sick. I was one the smallest runtiest kids in my entire school. I grew up two blocks downstream of a toxic waste dump. I had migraines and respiratory issues constantly, didn't feel up to playing with the other kids at recess, missed roughly one day per week for years, was in the hospital a couple times, etc all from environmental and food allergies. I also couldn't eat any of life's normal foods since dairy (ice cream, cheese, milk), bread (pizza crust too), chocolate, and other fun foods were not possible.
At the same time, I was also being raised in a mind-control cult. No holidays, pledge of allegiance, parties, dating, etc. I spent my childhood sick, afraid, and sheltered from life.
As I grew to tolerate some foods a little more, my joints started to give out. I spent my teenage years in massive pain, as if there were shards of glass in my knees, ankles, etc. I could barely walk sometimes. Of course I still had the migraines every week too, along with the cult demands. The few times I saw doctors or specialists, they did nothing to help me but took my money. I remember once that I could barely even bench the bar without any weights on it at all.
As a young adult, my few friends moved far away, leaving me more sheltered. I had my own janitorial business to put me through college, which helped me keep my sanity. However, my worker cut me out as the middleman on all the accounts, and I lost all my income. Never had health insurance either way so no medical help. I bought weight sets and started to work out as much as I could physically tolerate, slowly but surely, mind-over-matter.
I took a job in Chicago and moved. My best friend and woman I loved moved back to Europe to stay, on the same day I went to the funeral of my other best friend, a guy I grew up with like a brother. I was again feeling isolated, in massive pain, and devastated. Plus, the joint and muscular pain was overwhelming and so I saw endless chiropractors and a sports therapist that told me about orthotic inserts for my shoes. Those helped the lower body joint pain tremendously, but not my back. Came to find out that one of my vertebrae was underdeveloped and had fractured. One disc had eroded away and I needed fusion surgery to stabilize the nerve issues that were developing. I was paying out-of-pocket for mediocre insurance, which covered the surgery and rehab but not without expensive premiums and large out-of-pocket copays. Total actual cost of around $25K plus $50-75K of lost work. This didn't include losing my job a year later. Shortly thereafter I lost patches of hair on my head and most of my whiskers from all the stress.
Hi Vince and Flavia,
I'm Jiaan, a 15 year old that has been transformed both physically and mentally by NNMB. My doctor and parents told me that with my genetics I could never gain weight. I was determined to prove them wrong and look better than the norm. But after 6 months without a plan, I just grew taller and skinnier.
Then, researching on the internet, I stumbled upon my skinny-guy saviors, Vince Delmonte, and NNMB. I set my goals high and grew from a 130 pound 6'4" skin-and-bones body to a 174 lean pounds in a little over 6 months using NNMB. My physique improved along with my outlook on life, my schoolwork and my family life. I'm determined to take myself physically and mentally way beyond the norm. I want that "Wow" factor to help motivate people to achieve things they think are impossible. I want people to realize that impossible is nothing.
Jiaan Mooers, Columbus, Ohio
I want to be more than the norm because I am sick and tired of loooking average. I was always the fat kid in school and I was sick of being made fun of. I did endless amount of cardio which resulted in me becomeing skinny. I reached y goal , but then I realized, this isn't normal. I not only stripped the fatr off my body, but I laso stripped alot of muscle off as well and my lose sking is the greatest evidence. I want to be big and gain a lot of muscles so I do not ebd up being the skinny one, while all my friends get the body and the girls.
Hey Vince,
Glad your keepin us posted. To me being above the normal is the only lifestyle I see. That to me is important because I believe people need to have a warrior's physique. You only have one body, and you cant replace it with any material possesion. To me its the most important investment. The only way I can achieve my goal is to be above the normal, and the person who inspires me the most is Mariusz Pudzianowski. I someday want to make my friends, family, and all the ones I love proud of me, and that is to someday be the Worlds Strongest Man.
Vince, this is a test comment as your blog will not take my essay.
WoW Vince! I think this is the most comments you've ever gotten. I hope my blog is as successful one day. Grace and Peace to you and your family and I hope you had a Happy Resurrection Day.
I want my body to be greater than the norm because I want my outside to match my inside perception of myself – I am greater than the norm. This transformation is happening and I believe that Maximize Your Muscle will act as a catalyst. My goal is inspiration. One of the affirmations I say to myself each day is that "I inspire people with my great looking body." My blog is an extension of my desire to influence people in the fitness world. I want to empower them to transform their body, thus giving them the power to transform their lives wholistically.
Your program will catapult to take my body, my business, and my influence to the next level and send me further down my path of true global impact. Thanks for the consideration.

Part 2
However, it's been almost 5 years since then.
* I freed my mind from the cult (like coming out of the Matrix for those who have no idea what it means to find out the entire structure of your life is merely a poor construct). I have helped others to do the same.
* I did all my rehab and got my back quite a bit stronger again, in spite of the slight loss of mobility, frustrating bolts, and constant pain. I have been more dedicated than most people you have ever met, and not just for vanity reasons. I went from multiple periods in life of barely having the energy or ability to even walk, to having been using P90X for about a year now (even though I can still only make it through about half of any one program.) I have put some decent muscle on my bones though, and have a very low fat percentage. I look pretty good after having once been the runt other kids picked on and an invalid.
* I've overcome many food allergies and migraines through meticulous care of my diet with very little cheating. However, I go through life still not enjoying many foods that others give no thought to how lucky they are and this is often limiting to my social life and sometimes outright depressing. Most of the hair loss hasn’t grown back.
* In spite of other very large additional losses to my finances from bad business or outright theft, I have still paid DOWN my nearly $50K of debt to less than half by working FULL-time on high-stress scientific jobs while concurrently going to school FULL-time, and staying up late at night reading health publications to solve my own health issues.
* And through all of these back-to-back or overlapping challenges I have helped dozens upon dozens of people with their jobs and businesses, legal issues, family dynamics, relationships, cult-freedom, etc. I help change people's lives if they actually want to take the action for themselves.
And so, as you can see, it's been hard. I've had some help from great people, but most of it I did myself. I focused. I fought. I pushed through endless hopelessness to a point farther than many of my friends who have had it easy with perfect health, stable happy upbringings, and freedom. I have had the advantages by having the disadvantages. There are many people who have had it much worse though, possibly some of the people entering this contest. The difference is that just like every other time in my life, I will overcome my current plateaus, with or without outside help. I can't be stopped. I don't need your products for free. I don't think these other people do either. If they think it's all from what life hands them on the outside that is going to get them past their issues, then they will almost certainly be stuck forever, and you will certainly be wasting your product on people who wouldn't even use it anyway.
Personally, I'm both a "connector" and a "maven" ("The Tipping Point" book) and I've already proved myself 10 times over that I'll use every means I can to survive and then improve my life, and the lives of everyone around me, and for all the right reasons. I'll keep doing it, and I'll keep succeeding, and I'll keep helping everyone around me that wants to get better too. My "purpose" is just that, and I'm aligned with my purpose, with the ultimate goal of changing the world in at least the small ways I have already done around me so far, or preferably on a much larger scale. I now try to think as global as possible each and every day, constantly. "How can I stay healthy enough to change the world? How can I get strong enough to survive the next hit that life is going to deliver one day?"
I will tell you this: I am not one to miss out on appreciation for what I have or get. I know what it's like to lose, and to not have. The one thing that has held me back the most from my endless ideas and drive is my weak body. It gives out long before my mind and spirit. If your program can truly help me to strengthen that…then I'm ready. Let's go!
“Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." – William Shakespeare
Vince, Like you, I was a skinny kid. Very skinny kid. At the age of, 8 I contracted Rheumatic Fever and was bed-ridden for six month. The doctors said that I would have a permanent heart mummer and could never play sports, or for that fact ,be very active at all. I got so bored laying there that I promised myself that once I got out of that bed, I would never be sickly again. I started playing baseball and football with the neighbor kids. I played high school soccer and rugby in college. Then I started lifting and got involved in Wado Ryu karate. I vertually have no heart murmer now. I'm 55 now and still try to stay in shape and stay active. I compliment you on the determination that you have. Keep up the good work.
Hi Vince,
As a just over forty father of three, I had let life get the better of me as far as fitness goes. Between career, grad school, parenting, I did not make fitness as high a priority as I did in my younger years. Awhile back, i decided that enough was enough and that I had to take back my life. Around the same time I was weighing all areas of my life, and considered similar ideas to your 5 m's. I already had a great mate, already am aware of my maker, made a little money, but what if I really went all out in all areas. The road back has been tough but between KB's, body weight, barbells, dumbbells and other means I have managed to drop 70 pounds and put on a little muscle. Now, I see that, like you say, why should I settle for good progress. I want to take it to the next level Really push and see how far can I go. I want to set a solid example for my kids so that fitness becomes an inherent part of their lifestyle and they can avoid having to "come back'. The gains I have made have been steady, but hard fought. I recall in an interview you saying not having a plan is a fatal error. I know that this plan could be the one that catapults me to my new heights letting me surpass my levels of my younger years.
I look forward to following the developments of your new system.
God Bless,
Andy
Working out has keep me fit and strong to keep up with three growing boys. It has given me the sense of feeling like I am 23, when in reality I am 43. I routinely change my workout stragedy to stay focused and not get bored and also to keep improving and not plateau. Even so, I am still having difficulty losing that last little bit of stubborn belly fat and gaining more muscle, particularly in the arms.
So I have pondered a new challenge for myself…
I have always had an interest in bodybuilding. I would really like to try to compete in some type of fitness/bodybuilding competiton and I think your program may be just the motivation I need to go from looking good to looking incredible…better than the norm! Incredible enough to compete!!
When all else fails and I'm facing difficulties in my life, the one thing I can rely on to make me feel better is my workout routine.
There are many facets to my life of which I may not always have complete control over, but the one thing I will always be able to determine is my body and how I take care of it.
My workout routine has proven time and time again to be my fool proof stress reliever, my feel good when I need it.
I do believe being happy and content starts on the inside with your own beliefs, thoughts, and emotions;but allowing yourself to be motivated by the confidence that feeling good about your physical appearance, is very powerful.

Well, I wish I could gain muscle mass and look greater, not merely an esthetic factor, but the characteristic of power again have the pleasure of running, playing soccer, playing volleyball, and finally to play sports. I have 4 tumors between the femur and tibia and strengthen my physical structure, especially the leg, allow me the pleasure of performing these activities again simple for normal people.
It is the year 1959, I was born and Jack LaLanne’s exercise show first hit the air on television.
Now it is 1962, early in the morning and I can still remember sitting on the couch watching my Mom exercise with Jack LaLanne. I remember absorbing all the exercise moves, some of which made no sense to me, listening to Jack speak about balanced and natural eating habits, and above all talking about attitude, positivity and overcoming obstacles. The seed was planted in my subconscious.
It is now 1973, the summer before my first year in high school. I am a skinny 100 pounds and happy that I even made it past 98 pounds. I came across and advertisement in a magazine about muscle building. Thanks to my Dad paying the $30 for me, as I had no money, I anxiously awaited delivery in the mail.
Two months later, and days before entering high school, I gained 20 pounds of solid muscle, and tipped the scales at 120 pounds! Above all I remember the emotional highs that went with that journey and accomplishment. Traditional means of training during high school did not yield another pound of muscle growth for four years. However, pound-for-pound, I won the contest for the strongest and fittest member of my Physical Education class, I was confused. Why wasn’t I solid and more muscular than everyone else? I was told all the typical things: small frame, wrong genetics, I didn’t eat enough (there were days I could eat 6000 calories). What was it?
I made it through college and graduate school, and at the age of 25 ran my first marathon. All that training, being a member of a gym and I was no bigger. Then as the corporate world really took its toll I started partying, and by the time I was in my mid 30s I had a 38” waist, but weighed only 140 pounds. Going to the gym and listening to every else didn’t work, so I started to hit the bookstores. It became a year on, year off frustration with always a bad diet to follow.
In 1995 I became a vegetarian (for 9 years) which led to a great increase in health and energy but a mental feeling of deprivation in my life. Slipping back again I wound up with a 42 inch waist, 27% body fat and a weight of 182 pounds. I knew at this time what it felt like to be both skinny and fat throughout my life.
Thanks to my burning desire to change, and just being fed up and angry the massive reading began. No Nonsense Muscle Building was an eye opening and a shocker. The Upside Down Training packed muscle on me unlike anything I had ever experienced and it also highlighted all my weaknesses in my body that I never knew existed. However, my focus on diet was short lived, and having dropped my bodyfat to 10%, I gave in and lost my way, and all areas of my life directly suffered.
Each person’s life is inevitably about an intuitiveness combined with massive action. My greatest gift in this journey has been in taking full accountability for my life, placing no blame on anything outside of me. Having my girlfriend injured in an accident and realizing the value of my time with my parents, Mom is 83 and Dad 87, makes excuses no longer a part of my identity. My beloved cat Nitro became very ill in January and through the help of a natural healer has gained 30% in bodyweight in 12 weeks time and is running and jumping again. These were all my signposts to make that change NOW. At that moment I changed my diet changed dramatically, and now have the waistline down to 33 inches. Dr. K has started me on this path, and with you Vince on board also, I will make this happen.
Jack LaLanne was a pioneer and created many firsts in this field of health and wellness, it is now your turn Vince to be one of the pioneers for this century. My mission is to be an example and exciting force for those over 40 (I am 51) that health, energy and a well developed physical presence is interwoven and does transcend into all areas of our joy in life. Relationships, career, emotional, mental and spiritual well being are enhanced are as result.
I will be the shining example of the Chinese proverb: “Fall down seven times, stand up eight”.
Thanks Vince…. I would love to show you the workout and life coaching program from 1973 (I saved it all). Someday you will see the picture of me at 14 years old and 100 pounds. I make Skinny Vinny look like the Incredible Hulk!

Ever since I can remember, I was always the smallest, scrawniest, and skinniest of anybody (no kidding). I was that nerd that got bullied, name called, and pushed around. I always wore jackets and coats to cover how skinny I truly was. I was furious.
It was the summer before my sophomore year. I swore I wouldn’t ever leave the house. I had to get big. I asked my dad for weights, so he gave me some my 15th birthday, on july 30, 2009.
I started out, but as an amateur of course. All I had was determination and faith. I got drastic results, but not for long. I hit a plateau! It was around December. I did some research, and that is how I found you. I tried others, but none worked. So you became my coach when I went beyond the plateau. I have been working out for 8 months already. I started being 5’10’’ at 132 lbs, and now, 153 lbs!
At school, I am getting more respect. They used to say, do you work out. Now they say, what a stud. I got this on guy, Kyle Sompolinsky, hooked up with you and started exactly 1 week ago with him, and he already gained 7 lbs. He loves it, I love my results and helping others.The feeling feels so good. I want to live big in the gym and out of it, and help other do the same. I want my parents to be proud of me. I want to go out in the world and be known for helping others achieve their goals. I got 1 down. Many more to go. I have my whole life ahead of me, and I want it to live it the best I can.
better body will change my life and much, in fact I not only a better body! It's no good if I do not have health, a better body, I want perfect health!
Maybe I deserve the best in my teens, my colleagues called me chicken Cricket chassis etc.
A better body than normal: I will show to the world!
better than just the average: the self-esteem 100%!

(Um corpo melhor vai mudar e muito minha vida, na verdade não procuro só um corpo melhor! Nada vai adiantar se eu não tiver saúde além de um corpo melhor perfeito quero muita saúde!
Talvez eu mereça o melhor corpo, já estive com um corpo pior que hoje, em minha adolescência, meus colegas me chamava de chassi de grilo chassi de frango etc.
Um corpo melhor do que o normal: eu me mostraria para o mundo!
Olhar-me e me sentir melhor do que apenas média: autoestima 100%!)
I like all the comments so far, very inspirational keep it up.
Hey Vince,
my name is Josh, I’m 25 and live in a small town in Wyoming. I have been lifting for over a year. While I have made progress an am in the best shape of my life, 185 and about 10 to 11% body fat, I have not achieved the body that I feel I deserve. I have never been to great with girls. I seem to lack the confidence required to get the ones that are worth while. This lack of confidence transcends relationships into my professional life. When you don’t have that “swagger” people can tell obviously and it, I believe, has hindered my success professionally.
I believe that if I was able to transform my body and reach beyond my genetic potential, it would finally give me the confidence I need to achive my full potential in life, whether that be relationships romantic or otherwise or in my career.
Also it would enable me to Inspire others and let them know that when you believe, anything is achievable. I hope to open a gym in the town I live in and help the people that live here. Help them get healthy. 95% of the people that live here are sitting their lives away because of lack of motivation and social tools they need to achieve, and I would love nothin more than to help them turn their lives around. If I had the body I know we all deserve I firmly believe it would help me show them to believe in themselves and show them that it is never too late to change your life.
Thanks Vince,
Josh P. From Wyoming
Hey vince. My name is Nate Morgan and i'm from California. Plain and simple, I want to win the world national bodybuilding championships in 2014. I love working out and have made it my lifestyle. I think your 12 month membership to mym would take me to the next level.
I'm in Stoughton, MA, USA
I work as a trainer. Because I am kind of an information junkie and got into the business To Help People, I tend to get special needs clients. Cancer recovery, hip replacement, poor balance, etc. Usually if I can get them on board I can do them some good. A lot of elderly impose limits on themselves and suffer from general weakness and sacropenia. I hope that applying Vince's concepts to their training, at appropriate levels, I can help them realize that can be So Much More than they think they are.
I do not have a trainer’s physique so I am in a good place to show the effectiveness of the program. I also know if I LOOKED more like people expect me to look, people would buy in more easily to what I have to say and thus I could help more people.
I am very excited/ curious/ interested in Vince's concepts, the fact that a number of factors have to be in place for optimal muscle growth to occur. I have thought for some time we need to treat our bodies as eco-systems. Everything relates in balance to everything else. I hope Vince's program will spell this out for me.
Thanks for the chance.

Hey for some reason it wont let me post my comment i get a message that says its too long and its under 250.
thanks
continued
About six weeks after my treatment ended, my feeding tube was removed. In ten days I went from 190 pounds down to 161 pounds. I estimate I lost somewhere around twenty pounds of muscle when that happened. Since then, I have been trying to build as much muscle as possible, while maintaining a weight of 160 pounds. This will permit me to be a better cyclist than I ever was. I have been making progress toward this goal, but it has been slow.
I forgot to mention something, I will be 71 years of age in about 5 weeks. Winning this program will, I hope, help me achieve my goal.
Yours truly,
Earl
Hi Vince,
In September of 2006 I was diagnosed with oral cancer. I received word of the diagnoses just after returning from riding my bike 100 miles in the 2006 Livestrong Challenge fundraiser in Philadelphia, PA.
After 7 weeks of radiation treatments and chemotherapy, my recovery began. My oncologist told me I would soon be back to normal; not the old normal, but a “New normal”. That is a phrase, about which all cancer survivors are familiar. My goal was, and is, to get back as close to the old normal as could. I wanted to be better, if possible.
Happy Easter Vince,
Better than the Norm you say.. This idea has inspired me to think, sit, and write . I've just turned 50 and would like to look like Madonna also in her 50's but before she started looking like a man. That's why I believe the right guidance is necessary in body-building. We can be too thin (anorexic) or too muscular losing our feminility or become too vain and lose sight of the real meaning of life – to love and be loved.
Firstly we have to love ourselves, by eating right, exercising, and making time for family and friends. If you look and feel good other people will naturally be attracted to you and you'll have lots of friends. Having a beautiful mind as well as a beautiful body is also essential. As the saying goes: " sound mind – sound body."
Secondly it takes the same amount of time to do an action passably well as it does to do it perfectly. So why waste time doing something just okay when you could be doing it perfectly by using Vince's work out regime. Only Santa Claus is old, fat and content or is he?
Thanks for listening to me. If I'm chosen I promise not to delude you!
Well, I wish I could gain muscle mass and look greater, not merely an esthetic factor, but the characteristic of power again have the pleasure of running, playing soccer, playing volleyball, and finally to play sports.

Hey Vince, Angel Alcudia here from Keene, TX. (21 years of age)
I read the NNMB program because I could relate a lot with you…I was also a runner in HS. I went to STATE Track Meet in the mile with my best time of ' 4:25'. YUP, that means I was a toothpick!!
You INSPIRED me to realizing that I, too, could be greater than the norm. If you really think about it, we all could become and do anything in life we want because we are INFINITE beings without limitations whatsoever. I am infinite AWARENESS with the unlimited potential to create and attract whatever my heart desires.
I have finally become awakened to the truth that I have an inherent power to create my reality. This is why I want to push myself to the LIMITS in the gym and in life. Just like the 21 year old you interviewed in Las Vegas, I too want to become a fitness coach. I absolutely LOVE this stuff. I want to help people realize that we are all ARTISTS and that our goal of our lives is to create beautiful art within our bodies and in life.
For this very reason I MUST create a body that is absolutely greater than the norm, so that they can see that if I could transform my life and body ANYONE CAN too.
So THANK YOU Vince for being a ROLE MODEL in the fitness industry!
Whether I win or not I must keep moving forward, because we are either moving FORWARD or backwards on a daily basis….we NEVER stay in the same place. However, moving forward required a daily CONSIOUS decision, while moving backward does not. Lets all live CONSCIOUSLY and transform our lives and our planet TOGETHER.
This Contest is soooo EXCITING!!
Thanks again for your Generosity Vince! =D
Hey Vince,
So for most of my life I was that guy in the background, the skinny, quiet one that nobody takes much notice of. A couple of years ago I realized that that wasn't who I am, but I lacked the confidence to really break out of my shell. After high school, I started weightlifting but it wasn't until I found your site that I became inspired to truly change my life around. Becoming a member of NNMB was probably the best decision that I have ever made and I completely fell in love with the fitness lifestyle. It was a complete 180, I exercised frequently and started eating healthy. In the gym my mantra was "Vince did it, so can I." I realized that there was no excuse for me not to be the very best that I can be. After about a year of training, when you released MYM back in January, I jumped at the opportunity because I knew that I could do it and be the best of the best. The experience has been amazing! Working out has become my drug and I honestly don't know what I would do, or who I would be without it.
It isn't always easy though, nor should it be. I'm studying film and college and I will be a director someday, but right now school leads to long nights, little sleep, and diner food at 4am after a night of filming. It sucks when I can't get all my days in at the gym every week, or when I look in the mirror and I know that its just lack of sleep or an imperfect diet that's holding me back. But I'm not giving up, I refuse to! Bodybuilding wasn't meant to be easy and I'm in this for the long haul. My job requires me to be a leader, and I want to be someone that people choose to follow, not only because of my talent, but because of my physique. Because I make no excuses and do everything I can to be the best! Because I can take all of life's challenges and still come out on top!
Nathaniel

the reason why I want to win the membership?
It's because of the great feeling l will have every morning I enter the bathroom. To see my trained body in the mirror will make me smile and every day I start as the happiest guy on the planet, waiting for the evening workout.
Hi Vince and Flavia. My 3rd submission. A short nugget for everyone, learnt from T Harv Eker, millionaires mind, ” how you do anything is how you do everything”. So Vince as you said in short, what you do in the gym, will reflect to what you do in life and will affect your success. So go beyond the norm.
Realizing my maximum potential in all areas has been my goal for many years. I am motivated to action in exploring the edge and going beyond commonly preconceived limits. In my decades long search I have traveled down many roads and followed a number of gurus trying to find the 'secrets' to physique, muscle building and strength conditioning. Some have proved useful but most have failed to deliver on their over-hyped promises. I've studied and tried many different methods and these days the fitness world seems to be on a stagnant plateau. Among a sea of the usual mediocrity I see hopeful signs in your MYM program that tells me this is something different – far above anything out there right now. What I have seen so far is comprehensive, intelligent and focused like a laser beam on realizing the greatest physique and muscle gains possible.
My purpose is not limited to satisfying my own desire to achieve maximum physical performance. Ultimately I want to serve to inspire others to exceed their arbitrary limitations and realize their own dreams for successful body transformation. I want to be able to reach out to people like myself who have been searching for a solid and proven method of real physique building. But before I do this I must start with myself. In order to be an example I must lead the way and work through the complete program myself.
I have the motivation and tremendous enthusiasm. Now I just need the method. I am the kind of person that once you give me guidance I will be dedicated to following through to the end. My approach is typically to approach my fitness programs with great attention to detail. I think this will help me squeeze every bit of benefit out of the MYM program. I am very excited by the prospect of diving into the MYM system and getting started. I feel this will be a revolutionary way to really see for the first time just what my maximum potential really is. I feel that there will be some surprising results.
Hello vince im interested in maximizing my body and mind. I grew up overwieght, fat, out of shape, and feeling less than. I actually been training for few years now. But this training has mostly been to lose weight and burn fat. I went from 220 to 175 currently in the last 24 months or so. I have achieved more than i imagined (even though what i imagined wasnt much)but now i want to take it farther by building more muscle and blowing way past what i thought i could build. Now i actually want to shape and build the body to look nice. I turn 30 years old on April 7th and i know the best time for me to build qualitly muscle is now. I would really love to get this program to blow past the normal! So far my quest to be fit has helped me start to succeed in all the areas of my life. I would like to keep growing everyday and with your help and program i think i can achieve way more. Ive been working hard and want to work hard with the best! Thats what it comes down too. Striving for perfection is what im after. Ive never looked good with my shirt off until about a year ago and now im ready to go to the next level. I can use all the help i can get. Thank you for your time Vince.
Hi Vince and Flavia. This is my 2nd submission in continuation. No rule to how many submissions, so I am going beyond the norm here. To go beyond the norm is a principle in life. Many failures, outcasts, out of ordinary people, nerds, skinny Vinnys had become a success, because they went beyond the norm, believed in themself, held firm to their own theory and cast away the disbelief of others. They did not listen to their teachers scorns or doctors theories- skinny Vinny will never become brawn or as for myself doctors say I cannot get musculary big. Have I yet to disprove them. I have one thing proved to myself I can gain weight in muscle mass. I went from 143 to 160, since November, still at same body fat ratio, so gained 17lbs of muscle, yet no show in size. So yes I want to go beyond and get big also. My younger colleagues, half of my age, know I go to the gym and one of them challenged me to how many push-ups I can do. He said I can’t do more than 30, for my age. I am 43, well in short I did 110 to his disbelief and now am their hero. The one who challenged me walked out in awe as I hit 40 push-ups. Word hit the roof and reached to my manager, to lead to my success at work and increase in pay, as my manager gave me additional work to help another team and there I got overtime pay. Go beyond to success.
I have the face and the height but my body is just NOT RIGHT!
Skinny, weak and unattractive are words that I have grown up hearing continuously. My name is Yazan Hamadani, I am 23 years old and considered a hard gainer amongst my friends and others. I always research nice bodies, body transformations and try my best to get the best advice either on line or through the local gyms. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful at building my body in the right way and actually gaining muscle. One of the main problems is the contradicting information that one gets from different sources.
I am a Canadian citizen from Palestinian origins. I studied for my BA in Canada and I was always devastated and depressed due to the fact that other guys were looking great and I was not. I am back in Palestine now and at a very low point in my personal life- due to the fact that I just don't look good. Do not get me wrong, I have the face and the height but the body is just not right. I am too skinny, everything I wear makes me look like a total idiot. Having a body anywhere close to Vince's would change my life in many ways:
1.It will make me feel much more confident in every aspect of my daily life: work, social, personal and psychological.
2.The fact that I am working out RIGHT will give me the commitment to continue and fight till the end.
3.My family and friends will be extremely happy for me and for themselves (because I will stop bugging them about it all day long).
I really want to feel healthy, look healthy and just feel that confidence that all other guys at my age feel. I don’t go clubbing, I don't approach women, I don't go swimming with my buddies- all due to the fact that my body just does not look right. I know it may sound extreme, but believe me it is effecting every aspect of my day to day life. I would like to inspire others. People are usually inspired by "cool guys"- you know actors, singers, pilots, body builders, mma fighters, celebrities in general, etc. With a nice body I can inspire many people who are going through what I am going through and help them using Vince's techniques and information. Especially the people here in Palestine who don't have access to internet and don't even speak the English language. For me to be an inspiration for them would be absolutely life changing.
I hope to get the opportunity to win this contest and start on a mission to change my body once and for all with the help of you Vince.
Hey Vince,
I'll do my best to make this short and sweet.
NO LIMITS…I strive to live my life by these words. What does it mean to have a body beyond the norm? Everything. It means breaking past all limitations. It means fighting all the doubt that society has to offer. It means setting a NEW standard and witnessing that standard quickly become the new norm to surpass. Ultimately, it means invoking large-scale change. I have a purpose, and that purpose is to inspire as many people as I can…to change the world. I've made much personal progress since I first set out on my mission, in 2007, but I am nowhere near finished.
The fact is that we humans have UNLIMITED potential. The few who realize that soon find themselves on a path to immortality. My mission is to put myself and everyone around me on that path. And it all starts with having the body and health to fit the mindset. Mere words are not enough to inspire the masses. They must SEE to believe…
I will be turning 21 this June and graduating college the following year. I am constantly learning and improving upon myself. I'm going to the top and I'm taking as many people as I can with me…
Your Brother in Arms,

I'm a window washer by trade. I run my own business here in the Dallas Fort Worth Area. I climb ladders every day and lift them as well. I have to stay in shape for this type of work I do. Also I believe we should take care of our bodies because God gave them to us too use not abuse. I have reached a limit or a set point whatever you would like to call it and I would like to move on physically. Also I'm a Presbyterian and its part of my religion to get something for as little cost a free of course I will take it. Thank you very much Vince for offering free sets of your program, see you at the top Chris.
Well Vince, Where do I begin? Ill just be honest, I grew up my whole life struggling with my body. As a kid, I was obese, and I mean OBESE, in 4th grade I weighed 140 pounds. I lost all that weight and became sticky skinny in 8th grade. Since then Ive been struggling to stay fit, build muscle, get lean and all that. Trying to find the perfect routine for me, not just lifting, but diet, lifestyle, mindset. Spending hours at the gym, lifting weights, trying new things trying to get fit, get one of those bodies Ive always dreamed of. You know, built, ripped. What makes things worse, my friends, have all been "genetically blessed" with nice bodies. Built, some ripped, and they can eat whatever they want to. Candy, junk, cake etc. Id always wish that I could do that, eat whatever and actually get results from all the time I spend at the gym. This leaves me self conscious, and always worrying about my body, my appearance. But this has also developed a drive and determination to prove everyone wrong. They'd say things like some people just cant build muscle, or get lean, its just your genes. Ive spent months reading and educating myself on fitness and nutrition. Reading and buying products from trainers like Mike Geary, John Rominello, Joel Marion. Ive dilligently dedicated myself in these past 7 months to the eating right and fitness lifestyle. I just finished my 6th week of Final Phase fatloss. Its helped, lean me down, lower my body fat. Its still not enough though, im thankful for the improvements, but also looking for more. I want to be able to prove all those around me wrong, prove to myself that I can achieve what people call impossible. Get that body that I dream of and feel satisfied and confident in myself. I wanna be able to expand my knowledge, and grow physically and mentally. With all the time I spend researching and teaching myself, I know its not enough, I know that I need professional help that you can offer me. All this knowledge that Ive gained so far Ive been able to use to help others around me too. Im only 18, but alot of my class mates and others around me, always interested as to why Im always eating healthy , ask me for advice. I take great pride in being able to help them and actually KNOW what Im talking about. And ive realized that this is the field I want pursue in my life. Fitness and nutrition, help others attain good health as well.
Poor? yeah big deal, so is everyone else. Pressed for time? Of course, but so is everyone else. No, I have Lyme Disease and because of this I was unable to move off the couch out of sheer exhaustion for well over 3 years. I'm finally starting to actually have *some* level of energy and by watching what I eat and working out no more than 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week, I have lost over 70 pounds in the last year. Now, however, all the muscle mass I had had is basically gone. I miss being able to do some basic things I love. I can't put my kayak on top of the car anymore, it's too heavy. You get the idea. I want to be that inspiration for others suffering the same debilitating disease, and show them there is hope. I have been able to successfully keep all the weight off, without gaining anything more. Now it's just a matter of rebuilding what used to be there…..
Hi Vince and Flavia. I want to look something greater than the norm, so that I can make a difference and change in the world. So that people will take notice and desire to have what I have, and be able to lead them there too. To be above the norm is to stand out. When you stand out people take notice, they want to have what you got and will want to find out how you got there, so you become their mentor end coach. You become a leader for others to follow. It took Galileo to be above the norm to prove the earth is round and now holds the legacy to that theory. It will take me to be above the norm to prove to myself and others that I can go beyond my genetic make-up, doctors theories and what others think and believe; to prove to them and be a living testimony that we are right and they have been wrong and hold truth to a legacy, that yes we can, go above the norm, we can go beyond our genetic make-up. A hard gainer can gain weight. A skinny Vinny doesn’t have to be skinny all his life, but can be brawn to his maximum potential and go beyond; a plateau can be beat and so on… To go above and beyond the norm is to give my 2nd submission in continuation, since the limit is 250 words, but no rule to how many submissions.
I believe someone who has the will to be the best they can be should have an elite body to match. Everyone deserves the whole world. If we all believed in ourselves unconditionally we would gain everything. Belief is a powerful tool, one I am still trying to fully utilize. I do believe I deserve to have the best body possible for me because of the care I give it and because of my earnest desire to help others help their bodies.
I am a 19 year old girl who have always had a love of personal self training. I want not only to look the best that I can, but I want to accomplish amazing feats. I get a thrill when I set goals for myself and make and break personal records.
When I was able to do 50 pushups I was excited but I didn't stop there. I have a goal to be able to one day do 100 pushups without stopping. After that I will raise the bar even higher. I was able to hold a 12 minute plank which I posted on a website as a record. Recently someone finally beat it after the longest time and now I am planning on enduring it again and reaching 15 minutes.
Even though cardio makes me cringe just at the thought of it, I made myself buy a 60 day high intensity workout program that leaves me drenched in sweat after each session… and now I love it. (Even though I still feel nervous before each one).
I have done countless workouts and am always looking to try something different, something harder to eventually reach my genetic limit. I believe everyone has a limited "ceiling" above them of their potential and what they believe is attainable. This false ceiling barely reaches over a few feet when there is 100 feet that they will never experience or even realize is there. More importantly then having physical strength of course is mental strength – the willpower to keep going and to want to make something better of yourself. Willpower just like a muscle can be strengthened. Having others to look to as inspiration is also important and I want to be someone who is a source of motivation to others. One of my favorite tough trainers Jillian Michaels says that fitness is a metaphor for life because when you are strong physically, it carries over to other areas in your life. The mind-body connection is very real. When one continues to set higher goals and maximize their physical fitness, they will be more resilient emotionally and psychologically. I hope I can inspire men and women by my example and to one day personally teach one and one and get people to crave exercise and to rejoice over the matchless "high" that exercise brings. That would be my dream.

In this life things only ever get better or worse,
You know it's true… or at least you discover it's true when you neglect some aspect for too long and look back only to find that you're bouncing off of rock bottom.
Then you have to deal with it on its terms, terms you probably wouldn't have chosen if you'd caught it sooner.
Many of you have been lower than me and climbed out of pits that I can't even imagine, you guys are my heroes for proving it can be done, I'm still climbing out of my own.
Am I ready for Maximize Your Muscle?
Probably not, but I have the will to reach that starting point, and to continue on once I'm there.
For me this isn't coming from a desire to be above-average, it isn't one-upmanship, I just want to be strong and healthy, to grow and to help those around me do the same, at least if that is their wish.
I would like to suggest we all 'Be Sincere and not Serious' As Alan Watts put it.
Good Luck everybody, and whatever else you do, don't forget to have a good time =)~
~Patrick Still
What I'm trying to say is that I've already proven to myself and to others that I'm one of the select few with the required desire and devotion. I won't let you down.
Hello Vince and thanks for the chance to win your program. I'm 44 years old and genetically "skinny". I put a lot of time into physical training and seem to make little if any gains. Really need a NEW program. I currently work in an industry which inherently is comprised of BIG dudes, personal security. Got into the field based on prior military experience and a little luck. I've been to a number of "selection" course for jobs and always seem to be looked over for the bigger guys. I think a bit of a body transformation will bust my career.
Thanks in advance for the NEW program.
Todd Landry, Long Beach, Mississippi, USA, (stationed in Basra, Iraq)
Hey Vince-
3 years ago, I was told that I was too small to play baseball past college, and I probably couldn't even play in college. In short, I embarked on a *massive* journey to get as *massive* as I could before college. I gained 30 lbs (from 120 to 150) in junior year, 10 more lbs in senior year, and 5-10 more lbs afterwards up until now. More recently, I've used "Gaining Mass" by Anthony Ellis.
So today, I'm announcing to you that even my 3 years of near perfect effort and hard work on solid beginners programs (Anthony Ellis's program,) I'm still teased for my size. I'm in college now, and when my coach saw me in underarmour before practice, he gave me a team shirt 10 days early so that I could hide my scrawny frame.
After the first game that I pitched, my coach teased me in front of the whole team about how scared I looked out on the field. He compared me to a 6th grader facing Mark McGwire.
Now, why is my story different from the other skinny guy stories?
First, I never doubted my ability to gain weight. I gained 40-45 lbs over the course of 3 years. I hit plateaus every 8-10 lbs after I reached 140, and have found away through all of them but my recent one. I've actually gained a tremendous amount of weight (approximately the amount that you gained before becoming stuck…) Judging from the above events, it's clear that even the large amount of progress I've made with my body just isn't enough. I don't want to look timid on the pitchers mound! I want to scare the sh*t out of everyone!
I also don't lift weights to "prove the benefits of hard work." I already know the benefits of hard work. I've overcome plenty of obstacles in life on my own. I used to struggle in school due to ADHD. I've always been good at math (analogous to baseball), but never was recognized because my study techniques (analogous to my training methods and my size) were limited by some inherent characteristic of myself (GENETICS.) My parents almost thought that these "limits" were worthy of putting me in the special school district. Can you see that I've been in this almost exact situation once before?
And I've done exactly what you've done with your body, but my progress was academic. My hard work in school was rewarded by acceptance into a top ten university. I ended up at the complete opposite end of the academic spectrum from what my parents originally thought. I've already proven the benefits of hard work.
You see, I'm not discouraged by my stumbling blocks, but only excited that my training has come this far on my own with minimal help. I have fantasies of where I could be with a little bit more knowledge.
I hope I've established my story as one of success, and not one to feel sorry for. Vince, this is my official request for your help.
Hey Vince,
My name is Armando and I am writing to you from Puerto Rico.
I've been following you for a few years now and have even purchased your No Nonsense Muscle Building ebook.
I was always THE skinny guy since I was a kid and even now at 40, after many years of exercising and putting in some pounds I still look skinny at 192 lbs!!!! (I am 6'2" tall and am probably at 20% body fat).
I NEED YOUR HELP! For a guy who's done it the clean way, you look Rock Solid… and I want that too!
Most of my life has been about growing spiritually and I have figured out now that if I want a healthy life when I'm older, I need to keep my body in great shape too. Like it says in the Bible: "Treat your body like a temple." And a temple it shall be. The best looking temple ever. From your NNMB book I have made good changes in my life; I stopped eating sugary stuff, I drink only water now with all my meals, I rest a lot more now, etc.
I have a bunch of friends doing the P something X thing and they finally got me into it now for 3 weeks. I must say that I have lost 5 lbs in three weeks and am starting to look "cut", but I don't see the muscle growth I would love to have. With your program I know I can beat all those on the P blah X fad. I could show them what a real kick butt body looks like.
On top of it, I want to be your best affiliate marketer, but to do it I want to be able to have something to show others how amazingly good your program is.
So, there it is. I WANT IT BAD!!!
Hi Vince!
I want to look better than the norm for the following reasons.
1. I will be 50 in Nov. and I am a type ll diabetic(I need the muscle to utilize my glucose.) my doctor refused to take me off of my meds., even though I had my blood sugar down to where I didn’t need meds. I just don’t take them anymore. I work in a deli and have an opportunity every day to educate people about the foods they are eating.
When I tell them how I use to 180lbs and lost 50 (I’m also 5′)they want to know what it was I did to get where I am today. I have been told by many of my customers that I am an inspiration and to keep up the good work. Of course, just like everyone else, I want to be the best I can be!
I want to be an inspiration to my over-weigt family. I am half Mexican and half Sicilian, I am bound to be round! Right! Not if I can help it! I wantto be an inspiration to my 300lb son and keep him from becoming diabetic, then there’s my mom at 210lbs., my younger sister with one kidney. She gave one to my dad who is currently on dialysis. Watching him recouperate from heart surgery again was really tough and I don’t want to be that way in 10 yrs.
Most of all I want to be an inspiration to my 6 grand kids. With diabetes on both sides of the family, I try to instill in them how bad eating habits will affect their lives in the future. I want to prove to people that you have to take charge and do somehing about your future. That we ar capable of anyhing and the only person standing in our way of success is ourselves! It’s not so much for me as it is to prove to evryone else thAT it can be done.
Thanks so much!

p.s.
I do want to look HOT onr my 50th birthday though!
Namaste Vince & Flavia!
First of all, I would like to thank you for taking your time in listening & assessing people's statements in regards to an overall understanding, not only about getting a fit body, "something greater than the norm". This shows a special approach to human ideas, thoughts and feelings. This is indeed an "asset" of deep individuals, not shallow ones!
I used to play a lot of sport years ago (speed, swimming etc.), but quit for several reasons. Useless to mention. I put a lot of phat over my muscled body and this is not quite easy stuff to carry around…smile. Lucky me I put it all over, being wrapped in it. I would not call me phat, but over-weighed for sure. I need to drop at least 10 kg to look ok, if not 15 to get trim!
I'm a spiritual person and yet, I just dropped some kilos, few kilos. I didn't have the chance to meet the proper trainer for me. I practice meditation and certain yoga positions and yet I know it's much more to be done. The trigger is in our subconscious mind and it's all related to our beliefs or imprints. If we can surpass our imprints, than we are OK. All it's inside! We just have to believe that everything, without exception, is possible! Sky is the limit! We can all be Johnathan Livingstone, the Seagull!
Therefore, I reckon that a proper trainer would be the missing piece of the puzzle. I went to a fitness club couple of years ago, but it was just a waste of time: few trainers and they didn't bother to advise properly. I know about density, intensity & other related training stuff, proper food a.s.o. as I read most of the articles posted and sent by your friends, Joel Marion and Mike Geary. I'm also a veggie, sometimes going on natural stuff i.e. not cooked, yet I do feel there's something missing in this "chart", like a "slippery" piece. I do detect (my intuition tells me!) you detain the proper key to activate that missing link, yet I do not expect to be among the chosen ones, as in terms of not getting disappointed if this happens. I'd be grateful to receive the advice of a pro like you, as I am for everything I've been given & "gifted" with in my entire life. I'm fully aware I have to work out hardly, but, at the end of the day, it's all worth it! Mens sana in corpore sano, right?!?… Spirit is the inhabitant of our body, but you know: the outside is the reflection of the inside!
On the other hand, a well-trained and fit body without "nobody living inside" is like offering "flowers and incense" to an "empty temple"! But, when there's "someone at home", well, this is the real fulfillment! Therefore, why not accomplish the perfect mind, perfect soul and perfect body?!?… We are all perfect as Divine beings! It's up to all of us to make it happen "here and now"! Just believe it and you're there!…
And with your False Evidence Appearing Real… well, you just simply dot the "i"! I would say that FEAR itself is just a false evidence appearing real, LOVE is the only power in the Universe, as we are all Love, made of Love and givers of Love! We simply are! This is what we should be!
Be blessed and thank you for your time!
Namaste!
Hi Vince,
First thank you for this opportunity.
It is quite simple, I have also been the skinny guy most of my
Life. As I grew older and my metabolism slowed I gained weight.
But I was still the skinny guy underneath. I decided to pursue a job in law enforcement.
My body weight was 217lbs and out of shape, since then I have
Lost 70lbs and I am still the skinny guy, so I decided to try to gain mass.
After about a year and a half of weight training still now only 150lbs.
This would be a great way to help get past this so called genetic potential
And exceed beyond the norm to get position in the police department and
get that demanded respect,not just from the uniform but even not in a uniform.
Thank you again for this opportunity to make my life better, so that I can better
Serve others. Thank you Vince – a brother in Christ – Jason
Hey Vince. My name's Tpaul, and I'm from Richmond, Indiana in the United States of America. Why should I get a free copy of Maximize Your Muscle? Why am I the right kind of person for it, and it the right kind of program for me? Because I've worked my butt off for every ounce of muscle I've gained and fat I've lost, and haven't had good genetics or steroids to help me. I've done it all natural, through hard work and determination, and always believed that there were no limits. Yet here I am, slammed against the wall of a plateau, and I just haven't been able to get past it for an entire year. I want to get past it for lots of reasons. One reason is simply because I want to continue to prove that I can achieve whatever I want to achieve. I've been doing awesome so far, and I want to blast through this plateau. I want to continue to prove to myself that anything is possible, that there are no limits. And through that, I want to prove to others and inspire others the same. But also, I've found that my confidence is ingrained within my body. The more fit I am and the more progress I make, the more confident and just overall better I am in every other aspect of my life: college, sports, my hobbies, dealing with my friends, my relationship with my girlfriend, everything. I am better when my body is better, and blasting through this plateau I know will shoot me past any perceived limits in every other area of my life. I want to achieve big – my dreams are HUGE, and I want those big dreams to show in my life. I know regardless of whether or not I get this program, I will find a way to defeat my plateaus and my limits, but this would make everything so much… not exactly easier, considering that to get past a plateau involves an insane amount of hard work, harder than anything I've done before. But it will take away some of the heartache and difficulty trying to figure out exactly how to blast through that plateau. You've done it, and I want to follow in that path, to show myself, and more importantly, others, that there are no limits. Anything is possible. And I want to rise above and beyond in every aspect of my life. I know I can, and your Maximize Your Muscle Program can only make it a bigger reality for me. Whatever happens through this competition, God bless, Vince. You rock, and you're doing awesome things for everyone.
Vince, I have drastically changed the way I live my life now a days. Let me explain. About two years ago my parents of 35+ years separated. It was a devastating event in my life and being Italian I know you can relate! It sparked me to change my life as I was a drinker and lost approx 100lbs by exercising, eating right, and strength training.
Almost two years later I walk around at about 230lbs. I went from 190 up to 220 the first year, hit a plateau and was able to break through it and hit 230lbs. I’m also 6’4 so I have a huge frame.
This change in my life has affected so many of my peers around me. I studied engineering in college and when I came back for my final year I had dropped the first 80 lbs. I was known as the “Jared Fogel of the engineering building”. It sparked a few close engineering friends of mine to start changing their lives as well. Every time I saw a friend struggling with weight related problems I could always relate and felt compelled to give them many of my secret tips.
I enjoy spotting people at the gym and helping them break through their struggles as I know how hard the road has been. I need a new program to help me explode though this difficult process. I have walked the long and grueling journey to good health and I want to continue to share my success story with the aid of MYM and a walking book of truth as to how I was able to bust through my new plateaus and exceed my genetic potential.
Your Paisano!

Hello, Vince:
I tried to get your training program, but I'd have to know if it'd be suitable for me also, given my physical limitations. I never got any answer from you to my emails.
I' m not the kind of person who "gives up", so from this blog can come the answer? Maybe… as you said you would read every one and all the messages here…
I am 52 years young, 143 cm. Until last June very fit and very into sports. My main area used to be swimming long distances and "jumping" from height into the swimming pool, or anywhere… I also run a lot. I was also very much into lifting weights, and using BODY_WEIGHT exercises… and I used to love my fit-ball, for lacking stability… I also did some (HIT)spinning…
JUNE, last year I had a very bad accident, and remained very limited physically. Main injury is in my left foot, with many broken bones, interventions and metallic additions… I asked doctors, nobody gave any direct answer… from "You will not have any pain" at the hospital when they removed the cast, and also later. and the physiotherapist who told me "it just takes longer than we thought"… NO Real answer!
A LOT OF PAIN!
But, stubborn as I am, I went back to doing some sports… even if it aches… I think the accident or the surgery, caused some kind of nervous damage in that area… I will have to live with it, but – before i get into your program, how do I know I ( You? We?) can adapt the exercises to my needs?
I do not put my message here only to win the year's but to get a real answer from you (and maybe Dr. K can help here), and finally KNOW if I will be "myself" again in sport? (For now, I am into the gym, but in a limited kind)
Of course I also gained some fat… but I eat quite right, so as soon as I resume sports in full, it will come down OK…
I'd much appreciate your answer, very thankfully.
(And I'm sorry if there are mistakes in my English, I do not live there, and it's not my language)
KOMY
KOMY… you need to book an appointment with a physical therapist in your area to get yourself looked at. This is beyond the scope of email. Keep me posted on what happens.
Genetics may not be what I have to overcome, but it definitely is a product of ‘breeding’.
Hi Vince, I would love to win for the same reason that I originally started to lose weight. For my health. I joined WW and lost 40 lbs and was able to drop some of my asthma medicine (with doctor's approval, of course) At this point, I am trying to get healthy again. I have at the age of 55, had three strokes and I'm looking to use exercise keep my blood pressure et. al. on track.
I also know that physical fitness will aid my return to better health.
Thank you.
It is important for me to look and feel better than just “average” because I want to be a person that motivates those that are less motivated. I want the person who is sitting at home eating some KFC chicken to see me and notice that I am a real person and have worked hard to reach my goals. I want others to know that yes it does take hard work to earn a good body, but doesn’t everything good in life take hard work? If you want to get a good career you have to work hard in college, if you want to meet the perfect girl you have to better your relationship skills, etc. Looking better and feeling better than “average” not only gives me the confidence, but also gives others the confidence to make changes in their lives too.
I deserve a better body because every time I go to the gym I put in 100% effort. I work out usually 5 days a week and eat very healthy. I not only use my own workouts, but I explore other people’s ideas such as full body training, calisthenics, etc. Also, when I work out I focus on the small steps I am taking for the goals I want to reach in the end.
If I had a better body than the norm I would help support others in the goals they would like to reach. If someone came to me asking how to build their body I would take them under my wing like others did for me.
There are many reasons why a better body will change my life. Growing up and still to this day I have had low confidence and self esteem. I often get very anxious around others and am not very confident in social situations. This has often left me very tired by the end of the day. Although, since I have started working out almost a year ago things have started to change slowly but surely. As my body becomes better and better I am becoming more confident in conquering all fields in my life such as raising grades in school, talking to girls, and just overall happiness to everyday. I am more excited to get out of bed in the morning knowing then when I get home from school I’m going to be able to go work on building my body along with life goals.
Hey Vince, I recently just turned 18 and want to have the body of my dreams really badly. I have been made fun of since I was young about my weight. I used to used to be really hyper when I was young and so my mom put me on medicine to help but it made me gain weight and up until last year, I had never lost that fat. I had to go through about 10 years of being overweight and unhappy about my appearance. I always had that dream to have a great body since I was young. Especially since my dad was a professional body builder and my brother has a great body and an 8 pack. So last year I got fed up with looking the way I did and decided, with the help of my brother, to go on a diet and start exercising. I went from 215 pounds to 170. But I still have not been able to get in the shape that I want to be in. I have been trying different workouts using supplements but I just can't get the body I have been dreaming of. I was inspired by how you were made fun of because you were too small but then started to gain muscle and are now looking great. Vince, if you can help me with my dream then maybe I can end up being as successful as you and inspire and help others to achieve their dream body.
Hey Vince, I want MYM because I want an above average body. My family has always had obesity and diseases in the family, and I used to believe that no matter what I did, I would always be fat.
One of my good friends told me to check out your NNMB program because all my training did nothing for me except waste time. I purchased your program, and 12 weeks in, I had lost 20 pounds of fat, yet gained another 10 lbs of muscle. I feel that if I were to apply myself to your MYM program, I would become an inspiration to my mom and sister to get in shape so they wouldn't fall victim to the "family curse". Whether I "win" the MYM program or not, I'm forever thankful that you gave me the blueprint to a much healthier, sexier, and stronger body. You inspired me to believe in order to achieve, and that is something that I can never repay you. Thank you Vince.
Hi Vince

Majority of people today are unhappy with their life and are falling into the beleif that if one wishes and hopes hard enough that good things will happen to them. I have been in this position for some time now. The facts are this: Nothing will happen without effort; negativity can and will consume you, instead look to the positive things in your life and focus on them; and no matter how smart and disciplined you are, without a plan you will fail to reach your goals.
Everyday we make decisions that form our future, subtle decision that we may not even realize add up to form a future that we may not want. Here is where a plan is needed. If we have a goal with a plan on how to achieve it, we will be successful. Here is where membership to MYM will change my life. I have 5 areas of concentration for a better life, the first and most important; to me, is the physical development and self confidence that will occur after following MYM to be better than average Physically.
Changing ones life isn’t going to happen over night, but there will be little victories along the way that will keep me encouraged to continue. The idea of following a path to your goal will keep your mind positive, one will become more and more focused on success. The MYM membership will also improve mental stability and strength with the power of positive thinking. The brain controls all, when we feel good about ourselves we become more resistant to the negatives that can bring us down to the old way of life. The brain will also push us to achieve more, the idea of failure will disappear and the idea of success will continue.
Lastly, we need action. I can say this is going to happen and I can say this is how it is going to happen, but the key is action. When we act; we follow a plan, we think positive thoughts, and we make the correct decisions throughout the day that form our future to the one we are wishing for.
This is what I believe that is needed to achieve our goals. For some it is a dream career, for some it is a house on a hill, and for others it is the love of friends and family. I want all three, but to do this I must be happy with myself. I need to have confidence in myself. I need to have strength to go out and get what I want. I need to feel as if I deserve it. Membership to MYM will ensure success in becoming physically elite, which in turn will have a domino effect on every thing else on my life list.
hope this is what you were looking for and thanks for your time.

I will be honest with you Vince, I already acquired most of these attributes with NNMB, however, after one accomplishes a goal he or she needs to establish higher goals and do al that is humanly possible to make thosegoals a reality. Therefore, Vince I want you to give me something harder that will be extremely tough just like MYM, not ony to be beter than the nom physicaly but also mentally.

You've found your match then!
PART 2
Maximize Your Muscle will give me the opportunity to challenge myself in every aspect of my life. It will control most of my life and will be an obstacle that will prove to me and everyone else that if I can gain a fantastic body that will impress everyone, then there will be no goal in life that will be impossible to achieve. This program will be a step in my life that will lead to greater successes, not necessarily fitness successes, in the future. The goal in life of everyone should be to become better every day, and MAXIMIZE YOUR MUSCLE will make you a better person in every aspect of it due to the fact that it requires motivation, intelligence, perseverance, hard work, time management and determination. I want to look much better than the norm because the road to get to that point will make me a much better and superior person in many aspects of life that will open a myriad of opportunities in my educational, professional, love, and personal life.
Vince,(This is a repost but, I added more text in the end, please read it)
A superior physical manifestation of an individual does not only demonstrate that that person is persistence, admirable, respectable, attractive, and a role model but also that the person is extremely happy and most likely successful. We all live a life, and the goal in life of everyone is to become a better person whether it be by gaining more knowledge, acquiring experience, or getting a better job, we all live TO BECOME BETTER PERSONS. Committing oneself to a intense muscle building program is the perfect way to becoming that better person in all the important elements that humans have trouble following; being persistent, not procrastinating, being responsible, being positive, setting goals and more importantly TRYING ONE’S BEST TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS. Therefore, a human that possesses a superior and dazzling physique proves to be someone with great attributes; that person gains automatic respect and always feels well about him/herself.
Vince, it’s not that I want to only look like something greater than the norm. I want to BE something greater than the norm. You, of all people, know what it is like to want more for yourself. The norm is just that – normal. Normality gets you nowhere – fast. . . Being and living above the norm, however, gets you an edge – an advantage – over those who are content and complacent with being normal. I don’t want to be normal. I’ve been normal most of my life. Now – I DO want to be greater.
I want my family to look at me and know I am something greater than the norm. I want my friends to look at me and know I am something greater than the norm. I want professional associated to look at me and know I am something greater than the norm. I want THE WORLD to look at me and know I am something greater than the norm. First impressions, as we all know, come from what is outside. We are judged by how we look. We are characterized by our physical appearance. AND we all should know – how we look influences how we feel.
By utilizing the Maximizing Your Muscle program, we would also maximize our image. We would look like something greater than the norm which would begin the process of BEING greater. When we maximize our muscle, we begin to like what we see when we look in a mirror. When we like what we see, our attitudes improve. When our attitudes improve, our health improves. When our health improves, WE improve – and is that not the point of this whole thing, Vince? Is that not why you do what you do? You present options to people to help them improve their lives and THAT is why I want to Maximize My Muscle. You can present to me a way, not only to help me look better, but a way to BE better – be a better person. A way for me to not only look like something greater than the norm, but to BE GREATER THAN THE NORM!
Hello Vince,
I'm 25 yo and I want your MYM because I don't have enough confidence, which is necessary to get a woman.
I have been studying fitness and healthy lifestyle for quite some time (mostly articles) and I know some facts about that, but it just isn't enough. I have build some muscles onto my body frame, but I can't get rid of body fat lower than 15 %, so I need your help with that.
As you read above, I don't have woman yet and I want it badly. I want to build my confidence along with my body, which will consequently conquer my fears to step to the woman.
I also want to help my colleagues, many of them are going to fitness, but don't have the right aproach, which is seen on their bodies.
Hope to see you soon,
Matjaž

To be born with a human physiology is a rare and precious thing. Our purpose in life is to unfold our full human potential, thus revealing the divinity within each of us. Jesus said the Kingdom of Heaven is within us, and it truly is. Once our full human potential is fully unfolded, and our inner divinity shines forth, we become the willing instruments of God's will. What an incredible blessing. Your approach to physical development seems very integrating, taking into account ones spiritual, mental and physical unfoldment. Such a unified program is hard to find. It would be a pleasure and an honor to try your system and see the unfoldment of full potential blossom.
Hello, my name is James McEwan, I’m 15 years old and live in London and have cystic fibrosis and type 1 diabetes.
Growing up I considered myself being as healthy as any other kid at school. Despite being short and skinny at 5ft5 and 103 pounds. I was considered a healthy kid with CF as I had very few hospital admissions for the illness.
When I was 14, this changed I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and my blood sugar levels were wild to say the least, and this caused me to have a lot of chest infections and many hospital admissions for extra medicine. Whilst staying at the hospital the doctors told me to do a lot of cardio, however this didn't seem to be doing enough. I was fighting a losing battle. I needed something different; I decided I needed to get big!
It’s been 6 months since I started working out; I’m now 5ft 7 and 140 pounds! This is major progress however; I am still not satisfied with being normal sized. Chest infections can strike at any time with CF, and I knew the more muscle mass I could pack on the more energy I would have to fight the infections.
So to answer your question, I want to look something greater than the norm because I want to prove to myself and others that if you have a dream and work hard for it, someday it might come true.
Thanks for your time, James.
Vince, I'm almost 60 years old and have so many friends and relatives who have given up on health and fitness, thinking that the physical, mental, and emotional decline brought about by the aging process is inevitable. I disagree vehemently! While aging brings certain limitations, the human body and soul is capable of so very much more than we can imagine. Why should we give in and give up? I hope to use your program to transform my body in order to inspire many in my community to dream large, not only in terms of looks, but in terms of life! Seniors can offer so much to their communities, especially if their health is not an issue. So let's inspire them to lift their heads and hearts to do great things.
Hi Vince
Being a skinny guy like you once were, I know all about hard work with little to show for it. (BTW, I was also a middle distance and cross country runner years ago). But what you and many of your clients have achieved despite obvious genetic limitations, is really inspiring. What's even more inspiring – and motivating – is your conviction that your can blow past your genetic potential. It is something I believe in, because I know it worked for you.
Why would like a better body and why do I deserve it? Well, apart from the obvious (but important) fact that I want to have something to show for all my hard work and dedication in the gym, I would love the sense of achievement and confidence it would give me. I think I deserve the chance, and if I'm afforded it by a program that works, it will make all that hard work with little effect worthwhile. I've waited long and worked hard for a body to be proud of and give me confidence – I deserve a break.
If I can achieve this – and I believe using your program I will – it will change my life. That sense of achievement will inspire and motivate me more than anything else. It will motivate me not only to reach even greater heights as far as training goes, but to extend that achievement to other areas of my life, knowing that something is only imposible if you believe it is.
Having achieved my lifelong goal of having a better body, I will be able to inspire others like myself to not give up. And maybe it will even inspire a more positive attitude in some of those have always "encouraged" me to give up and accept my genetic limitations …
I know a body to be proud of will also make my wife and children proud of me and will inspire them, too. I know first hand what sense of pride something like a change in the way you look can instil in your loved ones, even though they always loved and respected you despite the way you looked. I know, because I was a fat skinny guy after years of bad habits and I managed to lose 34 pounds through lifestyle changes. My daughter got married and I was very proud of what I had achieved and the way I looked at the wedding. However, what was even more inspiring and touching, was when my daughter hugged me and told me how incredibly proud she was of me!
I'm ready for a new future and a new me, if afforded the chance!
Kind regards,

Hi Vince,
I am a forty three year old mother of three boys. Whatever the reason I feel that when women become mothers we put ourselves last on the to-do-list. I want to show women that we need to take care of ourselves and stay in shape. We can be mothers and still be a woman who is fit, sexy and healthy. We deserve to be our best self possible. My goal this year is to compete in a fitness show. I feel that your program will help me achieve my goal. I want a program that is going to challenge me and take me
to a higher level of fitness. I hope I can inspire woman to put themselves back on their to-do-list.
Thanks,

I never believed in the law of attraction until now. Last night, I asked for a new body. I never check my email during the weekend but today something just drove me to hit that Send/Receive button in my inbox.
My first email was this competition that was emailed to me by a friend from whom I had not heard from in a long time. I immediately called that friend and asked her to tell me why she sent me that email. She said it was by mistake. She wanted to send it to another friend who loves to train with weights and even apologized to me for sending it.
I am now certain that this is the program that will change my body and the body of everyone that tries it. As you can see it was not luck that drove me to this program. Far too many strange events took place for it to be a coincidence.
This is the program that we have all been waiting for to change our bodies. If you are like me, you will have tried numerous body-transformation programs only to get zero results. You may have experienced some great results in the beginning only to plateau in the end. The end result to give up in frustration – and back to a body worse than you had before. I want a new body because it is the foundation of achieving flow in my life. Without a nice and healthy body it is impossible to balance my heart, soul and mind. I am not confident to ask anyone on a date because I am overweight. I do not like to go out often in public because I am ashamed of my weight. Is this just me? Does this happen to you also? If so, I am confident that we are in the right place!
The Law of Attraction has identified MYM as the program that will change the lives of everyone that signs up for it!
I'd love to win this contest, but even if I don't, I recently decided that this is the year I'm going to push myself harder than I ever have before.
I don't want my life to pass me by, and then a few years down the road, say to myself, "I wish I had done that when I had the chance". I want to work on building the best body I can have, now.
I'm trying to get my husband motivated about fitness (so far, it hasn't worked at all, though), I'm hoping that when he sees that I'm making great progress, he will want to join in with me!
Even if he doesn't, I'm still going to do this for myself. Life is too short to not be happy.
Vince:
Several years ago what I saw in the mirror I didn't like. Although not diagnosed with high blood pressure, I had put on more pounds than I was comfortable with. The "love handles" and developing "beer belly" were an increasing annoyance. I began some serious work-outs about 7 years ago at the age of 48 and in trial and error have not yet found the program that would give me a buffed, muscular look. I believe I can do more and want to achieve more.
As a Pastor, I stress to my congregation the importance of fitness; spiritually, emotionally, financially and physically. God wants us to give Him our best. The Bible says that the body is the temple of God. Just as I strive to keep my home in top shape because I live there, so I need to keep God's home, my body, in top shape and appearance.
Your program would be a way that I could maximize my development and increase my potential physically. Besides, how cool would it be for a 55 year old pastor to compete and win an amateur bodybuilding competition.
Rev. Craig Mathews, Chippewa Falls
I really think that achievements with the body, going beyond the limits that nature imposed you, are the most real evidence that impossibilities exists to be overcome,maximizing your power within because the most real belief of the people are the things that everyone can see and dramastic changes of the body can make people exclude the impossible word of their vocabulary.
When a person say: oh my God, look at that guy made with his body, I trully believe that it can create the hope that my girlfriend needs to believe that could exists a real love that can pass through the darkness of the difficulties and get in the place of happiness, that my parents needs to believe that you can discover wonderful dreams waiting to be achieved no matter the age, being a example of overcome that my friends needs to achieve that they most wish in all areas of their lives!!!
I trully believe a body beyond the normal can make people believe that you can´t change the beginning of the things, but you can fight to change the end of them, with hope and determination, accomplished when you maximize your life like a star that shines beyond the sky and lead the eyes of all!!!

I am a 53 year old man. When I was 47 I weighed 285 lbs and had a waste of almost 50 inches. I was inspired by Joe Devlin an ex Buffalo Bill who is my age to get in better shape and regain my health before I died early. I started walking every day and cutting my calories and within a year I had lost 100 lbs. I felt great and looked like a new man. I have managed to keep the weight off and I work out several days a week and an area gym and I am in pretty good shape even for a guy half my age. I now have 2 grandchildren who I love more than I ever thought possible. By the time my grandson has children of his own I will be in my 70's. By the time they have children of their own I will be in my 90's. I want to be the great great grandfather who was able to run around and have fun with a strong, healthy, and active mind and body. I know I deserve to have your program so I can actually enjoy my golden years and look good while I'm at it! I want my great great grandchildren to remember me as the cool old man that inspired them to be happy healthy and enjoy ever second of their lives! And that's no nonsense!!
I am not an average guy…never have been, never will be. I'm 57 years old. I have excelled in academics, both high school and college. I had childhood asthma and was told I could not play football (in Texas that's huge) and that I could not qualify to serve in the military. My response: I was one of the captains of the football team, played on offense, on defense, and was the kicker and punter. I received a congressional appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, along with about 40 full ride offers. I served in the military as a commissioned officer and was qualified as a Ranger and a paratrooper. I have owned a small business, led global operations, lived through financial failures and survived personal injury when I was on a communications tower that collapsed. I was recently was told that I would have to quit training/ lifting because of genetic heart defect. So…what's the point? At 57, I'm not done yet…I'm not ready to roll over to minimal existence…not ready die on the installment plan. Older now, and wiser but far from done…things of character don't change much. It starts now…
. I want to be able to show that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that it does not mean that you have to accept being overweight to get healthy again. I want to be inspiration to show that you can take control and do anything, because I know what its like to think theres no way out.With all that said, I respect you very much and wish the best of luck to everyone on here. To be honest, I feel that everyone has gone through something in there life that make them deserve to win and be happy. I have become a personal trainer and have become so passionate about making people feel better about themselves and it is so rewarding for me that I cant imagine how you feel because of all the people that you have helped. Thank you for your time! Kyla
my name is Kyla and I am 20. My story is pretty personal, but I thought I should share it. Well, I have been dealing with anorexia for the past 2 and a half yrs. It started after I was discharged from the marine corps for an injury. I felt like a failure and thought I had no more control in my life. When I started learning more about fitness and nutrition I became obsessed with it. It was the only thing I could control in my life, or so I thought. I became a completely different person and was horrible to the people I cared most about. I felt so bad there were times I just wanted to give up on my life. I was hospitalized 2 times, the most recent a few months ago. Now I have finaly gotten myslef back. I learned a lot about myself these passed years and I am very passionate about going back to that hospital and becoming a recovery speaker. There were many while I was in and they were all out of shape. I feel that if I return in great shape then i can help motivate and prove that you CAN be healthy and look great at the same time and that there is nothing to fear about it…
Hi Vince,
I want my body to be better than the norm because when I look at what you've been able to achieve with your body over the course of time, it inspires me a lot to achieve the same, and who knows, maybe even better!
I'm fully determined to take control and be better than the norm, because winners don't do different things, they do things differently!
Hey Vince! My grandfather died afew years ago from a heart attack. He was a big guy with a big heart and an even bigger laugh! Seriously, this guy could fill an entire pub with his laughter and make everyone smile along with him! But for all the love i had for him, i was angry that he didnt take care of himself. After his funeral I went to the gym reguarly to try and bulk myself up. I come from a family made up ENTIRELY of rugby players so i thought because of genetics it would be easy to be like them and pack the weight on. But unfortunately I am the black sheep of the family and i am a hardgainer (sods law eh?). So you could say that in my family my body is already better than the norm as i am VERY skinny and my brothers and father are all big fellas. Although not better in terms of muscle it is definately an improvement on clogged heart veins! So this isnt just a plea on my behalf for a better body, but also for my family. It may not influence the masses, or influence strangers in the street, but it would definately help the ones i love. Thanks for your time, have a good day lad

Hey Vince, I just want to look and feel my best, and a six pack and toned muscles is just what I'm hoping for!
Hi Vince, I would like your help in improving the efficiency of my training routine for three simple reasons. I want to become healthier, stronger, and more confident in athletics. I have an education in a health sciences field and I have learned that improved fitness reduces the likelihood of cardiovascular complications and other diseases. My cousin has been lifting weights for longer than I have and he has achieved a very strong physique as a result. This past summer when we were chilling out together he told me that strength gives you not only physical benefits, but also a sense of clarity in thinking, and that then leads to improvements in all aspects of life. Lastly, I've played basketball since I was 11 years old and the main factor that is preventing me from achieving my potential in the sport is a lack of strength compared to other guys my height. When I was a little kid I imagined myself dominating the competition when I saw Jordan on TV. With you help, I hope I can experience that feeling someday even if it's just in pickup games.

Hi Vince,__ After reading some of the blogs here I am probbaly a little unique, unique in the fact that I am nearly fifty and very happy with my lot in life, When I do dsomething I do it with passion and perfection, every thing seems to be working out for me in life, my career, my relationship and being very happy. I do admit though hat I need a little help with the just getting that little extra out of my body, Most people I have read are trying to put weight on but I am the opposite, Since having two hip repalcement several years ago I have lost 30 odd Kgs and have achieved many things, I would like to say my body is prettty ok but would like my gorgeous girl to sizzle when she sees me, dont get me wrong I am very proud of my achievements and my personal growth in the last seven years but I did say back then I would have a six pack by Christmas, well seven years later I only have a 2 pack,,lol.. The strength is there but the other abbs are hiding, I would really much appreciate your help to just go that little further and make all my hard work pay off. My boys have also started working out and it would be nice to pass your information on to them and help them to achieve the confidence and the body that I know they want. Now young adults I am sure they want to live big and be proud, proud of them selves, their achievements and even prouder of their dad, they just love hanging out with me and it would be nice to reward them with probably one of the best tools in life, “to live life BIG… I am sure your program will help them and I on our way to even better things..__Cheers__Adrian
My motivation to exercise roots back when I was in grade school, fat and the center of ridicule by my fellow classmates. I used to remember the time when people would call me as someone who was left inside the kitchen who ate everything inside the refrigerator. That was a real painful experience. When I've reached adolescence, the sudden growth spurt and the rage of teenage hormones made me lose my fat and people started to treat me nicely. Now, as a 26-year old bachelor who works in a prestige company, I do notice that those in the higher positions look better than their subordinates. It does make a lot of sense since these are the people we look up to. In the world that we're living right now, we can't deny the fact that people treat those who look good better than those who are average-looking. I know that we cannot please everyone but hey, it pays a lot to look good. As the saying goes, "You feel good when you look good and vice-versa." Being better-looking than the norm makes me the kind of person who doesn't just settle for the good, but for the best and not just to pass anything, but to ace it! It will help you reach you set goals for yourself and accomplish it gracefully.

Hey Vince, I respect you man, appreciate your efforts & love your fiancée. You might get scared of inviting me to your live event if I'm gonna meet her, yet I assure you I've a much hotter lady myself!
I want to go beyond the norm & I am serious about it; honestly I don't only want what you have, that's not enough for me; I want to look really really detailed -muscle wise. I've been a regular body builder for 3 years but I failed to minimize the size of my belly! A physician friend told me "THAT'S YOUR GENETICs, you must have a cow's size intestine!"
I have accepted that, until I learned your "FUCK THAT" concept, I want to remove this belly once & for all because I'm tired of wearing a shirt at the beach or having to suck in all the time!
I grew up with a mom who always said "Even God loves beauty" she meant including good looking people. And that's my experience now, your good look can, by itself, get you far.
Hey Vince,
To me, being at your best in every aspect of your life is a must, because you only get to live once. This includes waking up every morning with a smile because you love your job. This also includes being nice to people, and waiting before judging someone. And, of course, it includes taking care of your body by eating well and training hard every week.
You only get to live once.
I work in communications, and because of my level of education and knowledge, I can judge good information from the bad one. I gotta say that in the last 2 years, I discovered alot of great people who taught me the real truth about training, eating and living my life at it's fullest. Just to name a few: you Vince, Joel Marion, and Dr.K. They all changed my life.
I'm 22 and I got a six pack. To me, it already makes me above average, because a lot of people of my age start to get belly fat and out of shape. I want to bring my body to the next level because it's a personnal challenge, and that one person can inspire so many others, and you're the living proof of it. I want to stay healthy and live happy for a long time.

Hey Vince, I am 21 years old and I have been watching your videos and reading your posts, for a few months now, and you have inspired me greatly. First my goal was to lose body fat, and thanks to your tips and routines I am now 8% bodyfat! Now I want to bulk up and get bigger beyond my genetic potential. When I started doing your routines i set goals for myself, and when i reached those goals i set other goals, and when i kept reaching my goals in the gym, i felt like i was setting goals in the real world. I am now doing great in school, and i am working on my way into majoring in kinesiology, and i have been setting goals little by little to work my way to my degree! Also I don't drink anymore! So when I get my degree, I hope to inspire people in and out of the gym. I feel like if i help myself and get the body i want, i could help others better. I am a very unselfish person, I often put myself last, I still love helping people, but i feel like i need to help myself first before i can inspire others. The way you have inspired me Vince! Thanks.__Anthony Hayes, Huntington Beach CA
Vince, I'll keep this real simple …. I want to be able to walk around without my shirt on and have people look at my body and say " Look at that body – I wish I had that body" I've always been overweight and have in the past 8 months changed my eating habits and lost 17kg. I now feel good about myself but want to get to the next level – I want to feel GREAT about myself. I want people to look at me and say WOW! I want to be able to look at me and say WOW!! I have been training for 6 months now and although I'm getting stronger and continually lifting heavier weights, I feel as though I have had little growth and would love to know how I can go beyond my genetic potential.

After leaving School 2 years short of graduation, I never thought I would accomplish anything great in my life. I was lucky enough to find Kirstin the girl who is the reason I get up and work in the morning.
I picked up your first program in 2008 and the results blew me away, I generated a great passion for weight training and the whole educational aspects changed my life. You inspired me to push this education into a career and I am now in the process of setting up a personal training business and paying myself through Open University to try and push my career onward and show myself that I can accomplish something.
Your program will inspire me further into educating my future clients when I become qualified, and helping them onto the path of the journey I experienced through No Nonsense Hardgainer would be one of the most self satisfying things I think I could do.
If I could add that bit extra to my body, that shows I am the face of the product and be the perfect role model to people in my area Maximise Your Muscle is absolutely the perfect solution. The physiological aspects of the program are already hitting home and after seeing what you have accomplished I know I can do the same for myself.
Hi Vince,
I have been involved in sport and fitness basically for my whole life … and i have been plagued by procrastination and complacency for just as long! I have the genetics to put on muscle, but not to get big AND lean / cut. My genetics are to keep a bit of fat .. or so it seems. On top of that i am currently travelling overseas and it seems my body has secombed to the age old "travellers fat" .. i've lost 6kg's … but not in a good way (decreased muscle mass and increased fat!). It seemed that i am seccombing to the 'probable' rather than pushing my body to the impossible and actually improving my body … and i belive your program can help me achieve that!
hi vince my name is george and i am 20. at the age of 8 while other kids were playing with toys i obligated my father to make me a punching bag.By the age of 9 i told my parents that i will not go to school if they wont take me to karate or boxing.But before i could ever step in a dojo or in a gym something strange happened.

I could not handle it any more.Fourtunatly at 18 i was diagnosed and suffered 2 surgeries,but after the operations the doctor told me that i can not practice contact sports.
I got use whit the idee that my dream of being a karate champion was death.But i needed a new dream so i started bodybuilding but in order to achieve my goal of competing in bodybuilding i need your help but nevertheless with or without your help i will achieve my goal because i am a fighther and when i want something i am prepare to go the distance.

Hi Vince
Why Do I Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
I gave up smocking 11 months ago but let myself go in the process. Having conquered that I now want to achieve more. I want a body that shows I have worked hard to get back a body that I am proud of. I am unhappy with my image and being ignored. I want to be greater than the norm better than the rest. I want a body that is wow.
I know a perfect body isn’t the answer to happines but with the motivation and extra energy I will be doing more with my life than being a couch potato, things that will make me, my friends and family happy.

In the words of the late Jim Rohn : '' Success is not something you pursue, it's something you attract by the person you become. Success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person''. Now Vince, your question is why I above everybody else deserve a better body.
We all deserve this equally. If I can change you can change, if I can develop you can aldo develop. And if I can do it, hey WE ALL CAN DO IT !
To finish, I'd like to address question I asked myself, and the question you asked me : Why am I the right one for this. I asked myself that question, pretty much all my life, the question that all of us ask all the time. Why work this hard, why take that many classes, why go to school for so many years, why take the notes, why read the books, why work that hard, why put yourself through hard times, and through disciplines, why me of everybody else, why should I sacrifise myself, why not simply settle in my comfort zone, why not choose an easier college, an easier solution, an easier way out. I think that the best answer to why is the second question : Why not ?
Why not see how many books I can read, how many classes I can take, how many skills I can develop, why not see how valuable I can become to the market place, and to my friends and to my family. Why not see how far I can go, how much I can see, how much I can earn, why not see what can I make out of myself ? Especially now when I've been given this extraordinary opportunity to win your 12 month membership. And all this is possible by having a better body.
And once again in the words of the late Jim Rohn : ''If you will change, EVERYTHING around you will change''. This is why I believe that I am the right person for this, in fact we all are, and we all should strive to this goal and we all should make this our major purpose in life, because that's when we become great. And in the words of Will Smith . ''Greatness truly exists in all of us''. And it's really simple :
better body = better life
Thank you once again Vince and goodbye!
Why do I want to look something greater than the norm?
My entire life I have been chubby to overweight. I was actually in the obese class for a few years. I have worked hard to get back to a normal size. It was great, not only that, it had inspired my mother to join weight watchers and start to look after herself too. However I have stalled, still looking chubby and soft. Having gotten comments my entire life with regards to eating and exercise. Even now, "you should try to get on 'Last 10lbs Bootcamp'". It is demoralizing. I want to look better than the norm to first stop those comments. To show people who are overweight/obese that you can get a great body if you put your mind to it, and to inspire my mother to get back to weight watchers, the gym, anything at this point, since she is at an unhealthy weight. What is the point of learning something if I can't pass it along. And with any luck I will feel less lost when I get to the gym.
Furthermore, I am a cardiac nurse. As part of my job, I try to counsel people on eating well and getting daily exercise. I feel a little hypocritical trying to teach this and get patients interested in looking after modifiable aspects to reducing heart disease.

. I am a 48 yr. old female getting ready for the big 50.
I have been weight training since the age of 16. I am a personal trainer who needs to maintain my body to be a role model for others. I am tired of all the genetically gifted people who life weights for one month and look better than I do!
It kills me to have people ask me, "are you a runner?" in other words- I look skinny and weak. It is my genetics- I swear. Skinny weak people run in my family! I work hard to have a great body and in my opinion I do not.
If I had the body I work so hard to attain, I can prove to people 50 is not old and you dont have to settle for looking like an old bag. I have the audience , now I just need the body so I can be the example. When I finally figure it out- get the right workout and eating plan down , I can use my body as an example to my community. I am greater than the norm- after all, who can say they have trained for 30 years and STILL look GREAT! I want to be An example that will put Jack La Lane to shame.
This is not only my goal but my true passion!
I’m a personal trainer and fitness instructor who has always struggled with that extra bit of fat. I want to be a good example to my clients, but I’ve tried everything I know to do, even stuff I know I shouldn’t do.
I am a disciplined and motivated person. If I just had the right guidance, I know I could get there and point others in the same direction.
I want to look like something greater than the norm because I come from a long line of people who talk about getting in shape but some reason or another fail to break the inertia.
I want to be the one to do it so that I can inspire others to do the same thing.
Thanks for all you do to help others Vince!

I am almost 49 years old and I want to prove that I can be better than the "norm" by the time I reach 50. Then I want to inspire my husband to do the same.
hello Vince man i totally understand what the program is all about change, being better, reaching a goal and crushing it, to love the burn. It looks amazing. I have been working out for 2 and a half years i have done every work out out there. I got good results out of that those but you were right they all have a plateaus in it. I have always being amaze about the human body how it can change into a God like body. The reason i want this program is to find that new level i cant reach. I need a workout that will make me push things to a whole new level. Also I am an athletic guy but see I am also a short guy about 5:5 so i need this program to help me break my genetic potential it is getting harder and harder to get stronger. In the begging i was moving up weight pretty fast my friends were impress but now their lifting more or close to what I am lifting. So what i want is to break this plateau or my genetic potential but with no short cuts.
thanks and Hey have a great weeding
i started lifting weights when i was 18. i had injured myself at work tore my shoulder blades and slipped a disk. i wasnt realy into working out untill that happened i had to rebuild the mucles on my shoulders and just so i could sxit and stand up right. for eight months i was in agonising pain every day. i had to go to physio therapy during the eight months and fell in love with working out. i fought through the pain worked out with the physio every week till i was better. i never got the chance to thank my physio . it was the hardest lesson in life i learned and was depressing at times i never though i was ever going to be able to work again. scince then i have never stopped working out always trying to achieve i good body and also ensure that never happens again. i would like the perfect body to feel confident and believe in my self so i can do anything or acheive anything in my life.
I don’t want to look greater than the norm—I strive to be greater than the norm. My mantra has always been to push past all barriers and expectations others had on me. I’m 6’3”, 180, and all I need is one final push. It’s not like I’d be starting a beginner. I’ve been going to the gym since December 2008 and have proudly gained 15 lbs, but I’m still very skinny for my size. Whether I get this or not, I will still push past my own limitations and boundaries so that I can succeed. And ultimately, what is this about for me? It’s truly because I want others to see in themselves that they can make a change, too. The best inspirations are not those that got a free ride, but those that fell off the wagon many times, but each time, brushed themselves off, and kept going. Well, here I am, and I will fight to the end. Don’t just help 3 people, Vince. Help 3 people who will SUCCEED and help lots more who will help even more.

Hey Vince,
My name is Marco Chiodi, I'm 28 and like yourself I come from a hard working Italian family. You are very inspiring, not only in terms of fitness but also in life. Like you I do not know the meaning of failure everything I do I see through to the end but I have always been a bigger guy and struggled achieving fitness goals. I see how happy you are with Flavia and this video with her really shows it. I want that I want to be the best person I can possibly be in all aspects of life. It's also kinda cool that you are from Ontario also, I'm only a couple of hours east of you in Oshawa.

Hello Mr Vince,
Indeed, I want to win the 12-month memberships, in order to have a stronger and a better looking body.
Two years ago, I have started to train and thanks to god, my body changed, but not into the degree, that I aspire.
Hence, I need to learn from your program. To be honest with you, I don’t do bodybuilding, for bodybuilding, but so as to I have an excellent physical condition, that will allow me to practice a martial art, such as Jun Fan JKD or Daido Juku.
I’am 31 years, and I plan to be a recognized Master, within 10 years.
But, why all this, I simply want to have a better looking body, to feel more comfortable, to be more confident, but especially, to defend my self, my family, my beloved ones and weak & oppressed people. Finally, to help making my city, best place to live.
Thank you

I have lived a life full of average. Average grades, average athletic ability, nothing I have ever been extraordinary at. I feel like I am always being overlooked. My friends all are extremely talented at certain aspects of life and I am tired of being the one that is just average. I want to be great at something. Just being another human that lives his 70 years on Earth, then disappears into the dirt is not something I want. I want to be remembered. I want people to want to be around me because I bring something different to the table. I think this all starts with the body. I want to grow physically and mentally. If I can't get my body into top shape, then how am I going to be able to get my whole being into superiority? I have always been in decent shape, but I am ready to take it to a new level. I am tired of hanging back and just waiting for life to take it's course. I want to reach out, increase my confidence, and become somebody that people see and notice. I think this program is just what I need to bust out of my funk and finally take life head on and become a someone rather than just another nobody.
I want a nice body so I can get more chicks.
Well I will keep this Short and Simple!!! I'm going to be 50 yrs old this summer. I teach Martial arts, and have a X-treme Fitness Boot Camp . I teach all the Classes myself.. Alot of Guys in their 30 Coment on how they wished they looked like me , and would never quess I was 50 ..I "LEAD BY EXAMPLE" and I want to look better then I already Do and I know your programs works, So that is why I would like to win your new one ..
Thank you for reading this

Vince,
I come from a large famliy and im the only one who works out, they (my famliy and friends as well) look to me for health and fittness tips. when i give them my advice or opinion they always say " well thats allgood, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything for you so why should i put in that type of commitment or those minimal results!!!!! they dont see the results i see, simply because their not around when im puttin in my work (ie lifting, jogging,riding, and isometerics).
since ive started working out ive managed to put on 10lbs of muscle but cant get past this wall ive hit.i currently weigh 203lbs, my goal is to reach 215lbs. i believe if i can attain that mark my friends and famliy would pay more attention to my adivce for a more healthy and fit lifestlye…
Hello Vincne I am recently devorced, over the road autotransport driver 51 yo, with two sons 4yo, and 6 yo. Married late. When I am home my sons are quite excited to be with me, lots of energy between the two of them. My job is demanding on my mind and body. Bad weather, aggressive drivers climbing, twisting to load and secure auto to transport Being on the road is not good , poor food, etc. I have researched many programs to keep my self fit while gone from home. Your program looks to be the one to maintain my whole health goal., and most importantly be at my best for my sons. Set the example for them, I plan on making 100 plus, just a gut feeling. Best to yuo Vince and good luck to all . michael
I strive to set an example for others when it comes to moral issues and in this case physique. I am currently on the YSPQ program and it has transformed and given me confidence to the extent that I'm now going to start a training "class" in our housing cooperation and help the tenants get better health in the long run and fitter by beach season. The MYM would be a great way to keep staying on top of everything and serve as an inspiration to my friends and in this case, neighbours. I hope I will get that chance!
hey vince its michael im 16 years old ive been skinnyall my life and quite frankly like you i got sick of it but that not the only reason mym will help its also so i can send a messege to other skinny guys who have had enough,to say hey if i can do this so can you
Im 20 Years now, and kind of musculair. That wasn't allways the case. I used to get beat up in high school because of my skinny appearance and ginger hair. The bullying wasn't all the time, but at least once or twice a weak. Until I went to the gym to build some muscle. Not only did i become tougher, i also became more confident. And hell yeah, the beatings weren't that frequent anymore. I actually didn't do anything special, but apparently, my fysique and confidence scared the bullies. I continued hitting the gym and I gained quite a few pounds of lean muscle, but now i've hit a plateau. That's where your programma kicks in………time to bust that plateau! Time to get beyond my limits and to end the beating and bullying once and for all!
Hey Vince,
I understand the value of hard work and effort. I understand that if you really want to achieve something, you have to be willing to put in blood, sweat, and tears.
My personal Journey of change started about 5 years ago, when I lost 30 pounds in about 3 months, through almost militant discipline and action. Over the years I have Put on a bit of muscle, but quickly hit a plateau and stayed there for an embarrasingly long time, partly because I was comfortable with the body I had, and partly because I didnt know how to get bigger. Mostly the Latter. BUT…This was only the begining of my story…
About a year and a half ago, after acheiving some success as a flamenco guitarist, I teamed up with a "Seduction" company to become a dating coach. Now.., I could go on for hours about the struggle I endured and perseverance required of me in order to succeed in any of my past accomplishments. There were many times when I doubted whether I was actually capable of being a successful musician or dating coach for that matter. Evidently, and as Im sure you know, the most important part of my development in any of these activities was when I CRUSHED that doubt. It was when i realized that the limits we think exist are usually not there at all.
The one thing that I'm still missing though is the body I would like to have. I want to be in control of what I look like. And I know that by following you guidance, and putting in the effort, I'll succeed.
I think we all deserve this opportunity, but I think I deserve it more. Why? Because I will commit 100 percent to the precess. AND… my motivation is to set an example for all of the men that might look up to me as a dating coach, so that they too can decide to once and for all aim to have the body they really want. (being physically fit and healthy helps a ton when one is trying to meet women, no doubt )
By helping me, you'll be helping many others.
Thanks vince,
Ernesto Chaparro, Spain
I would like to go beyond the norm because I hace been fit all of my life but never exactly where I wanted to be. I am 52 and an owner of an esthetic business where looks are very important. I teach others the best ways to get their face in shape, drop weight and feel good about themselves. I always have to be the "product of the product" so others are inspired and know they also can look and feel good. I have always just wanted to have the "certain extra something" that would be over the top. I love acheiving and working to obtain new knowledge and this is somthing that I would love to do!
Hi Vince
I'm 35 and have been training for almost 5 years. All my life I have been super skinny and have always struggled to gain weight and muscle – if there is such a thing as a hard gainer I am definitely one of them. About 5 years ago I made a decision to change my life for the better. I had been suffering from chronic migraine sickness for around 2 years and my doctor advised me that training would help relieve tension. I had also had enough of the constant jokes about my weight from friends and a lack of success a Women! Training has changed my life. It has improved my health, my life style and given me a real focus in life. Although I look and feel like a completely different person from the Man I was 5 years ago, I have never come close to looking like I want. I train religiously, but have never seen the gains that my effort deserves. I live and breathe for training and fitness and refuse to give in to my lack of success. I will get there, I just need pointing in the right direction. Thanks for listening

I'd like this chance to maximize my muscle because ive been working out for at least 2 to 3 years and im in highschool and i've seen no improvement. I am 6'3 or 6'4 and i am skin and bones. I'm on the basketball team and i get teased quite a bit because i'm skin and bones. I'd really appreciate the chance to maximize my muscle.
At 15 I was LOST. I was told I wouldn't pass my GCSE's or get to university and to make matters worse I had awful skin and interest from girls was non existent. One day at school I walked out of a 'German' lesson and went to the toilet, where I took a long look at myself and said "change". At this point 'Nutrition' and 'Hip-Hop Music' turned my life around. In 6 months, sound nutrition dramatically changed my skin, and Hip Hop music motivated me to knuckle down allowing me to pass all my GCSE's with C, B and A grades allowing me to achieve a place at university.
To date at 18, I am currently studying 'sports nutrition' at university, I see the majority of individuals both male and females wasting away on poor nutrition and excessive alcohol. I also see talented people in a sporting context throw away their potential due to this type of lifestyle. I then hear these same people complain about the way they look and feel, and these same complaints happen on a regular basis. To me this is very disappointing, and despite a degree of knowledge and understanding of the key components needed to improve your lifestyle and fitness, I feel I am still not at a level 'physically' to be able to guide these individuals in a better direction.
Therefore I believe that by building my dream body and being considered above the “norm”, will give me a huge asset as I will be able to guide others in the right direction and be a role model to all age groups as people will take more notice of me. Not only this but in the future I hope to get in the online marketing business, and set up a website that focuses more on the nutrition side of things, and demonstrate how you can ‘eat for success’.
I appreciate you listening to my story, and would like to thank you for being a massive motivation in my life. You truly are a legend and have taught me nothing is impossible.

Hi Vince. I truly believe that in order to go beyond your genetic potential everyone absolutely needs to have a goal achievement and life theory.It is incredible how much more passionate, responsible and diciplined you become if you have such a theory to feed off of.Mine is build around the development and strenghthening of one's self charcter.I believe that a strong character is the foundation for absolutely every action you take and the most influential factor in what your destination in life will be.Only by taking action based on the principles that you value will you ever be able to really cultivate and strenghthen your character.Let's face facts, a weak body will never reflect a strong character and will be a big obstacle in the way of achieving self confidence, respect, discipline and responsability.Your weak reflection in the mirror will not reveal to the world how strong you are on the inside.I 100% believe that every action you take is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds.That burning desire of reaching your ultimate goal will determine how hard you are willing to work in order to get there.I've set a "whatever it takes" mindset in order to satisfy my desire of living an extraordinary, greater than the norm life.Deep inside I feel that only by beeing here it is my RESPONSABILITY to live an extraordinary personal, spiritual, proffessional life.I feel that it is my duty to be the best that i can be because I believe that my friends and family deserve to have me at my fastest and strongest level.I feel the responsability of reaching that ultimate goal in order to offer them the support and the confidence that i will always be there 100% and will never let them down.By living myself an extraordinary life I will make their life extraordinary and I will always be a role model and meet their greatest expectations as friend and father. I am confident that I am 100% ready to take my lifting to the next level because in order to achieve my greatest goal I think I need not only reach my potential but DEFINETLY go BEYOND it.
Stay strong! Your friend, Manuel
Hi Vince
I really want your help
I’m 18 years old and for the past year I’ve been working out religiously everyday for about 3-4 hours per day
for the first 4 months I was literallly wasting my time because I was doing everything I could did like mad
after this I realised that I had less progress and more pain than anything else
I then applied for yours and joel’s free newsletters
i learnt so much from these and using the information I replaced my everday everything exercises to a more structured routine of back chest and legs on different days
I also changed my diet to less carbs more protein and less fats
I also do 3 weights days and 3 cardio days per week and I do about 2 hours per day now
eventhough I reduced bodyfat from over 30% to 16%
I still got a chunky amount if fat just hanging on the bottom of my stomach
I just can’t get rid of it
using your methods I’ve made a good chest back and arms
I can even see the top half of my abs clearly
but what kills the view is the beer belly looking stomach
(I don’t drink alcohol by the way or never have)
but I still got a stomach that makes it looks like I do
I want to be better that the norm because I have been classified clinically obese half my life and now that I am trying to get rid of being know as the fat guy and have been able to lose some fat over the past year
I stil can’t lose that fat that’s hanging off my stomach
please help me
I really want to change
I’m proud of what I’ve achieved so far
when i wake up in the morning and look at my body I look proudly and happily but as soon as I see the stomach
I feel as if I have made no progress at all
please help me I really want to lose the fat guy status and I want to become the person all the guys in the room envy
thanx a lot in advance
Hello Vince, All my life I was a scrawny person from the time I was a kid till now and I think its my time to shine. Everybody labeled me as tall and skinny. I tried alot of tips I got from the internet like eating more and etc. But then yesterday I stumbled across the website, and I got hope. After reading all the good information you put on your website, and seeing that you came from skinny to a honk. I sat here and thought to myself wow. I can do this. If I had a new body I would show all the haters that thought I couldnt ever change, that I am a new person. I would go and stand proudly. I will go to the beaches and show off my great body, and when people asked me how I did it I will tell them it was all Vince. It is important to look and feel better than just average because if I just wanted to be average I wouldnt be typing in this blog to win. I want everybody to know that even the skinniest people can change to a honk with the right training.

I am a 21yr old junior @ Arizona State University and I love it. The bad part about going to ASU is the fabulous weather. It's bad because having beautiful weather is grounds for laying out at the pool, flirting with cute boys, and just enjoy being outdoors in my own skin. And this is a bad thing because I do not have the confidence to do well, really, any of it. I have been living life on the sidelines because I am too afraid to put myself out there and get rejected. Afterall who likes rejection? I do not want to be afraid to go out there and grab life by the balls, ahem, figuratively speaking. I want to have the confidence to reach my goals, meet new people, help other people with their own goals in life, and become a healither person. With this program I feel like I can do that. However I need your help to make this happen.
So please Vince and Flavia, consider me as a potential winner of this glorious prize, you will not regret it. And if I am one of the winners, I will work my butt off to make you guys proud of me! God Bless and good luck with your wedding plans!

Hi Vince,
After years of going to the gym on and off, yet continuously wanting to look good, wanting to feel the effects of being fit and looking at people who are, with envy; I'm deciding to finally do something about it. It is that simple. I have no excuses any more and I want to get it done! I feel better when I am working out, maximizing my potential, and I know this program will change my life, give me more energy, not to mention my husband will never be able to get me off his mind
.
That is why I want your program, as simple as that!

I turned 44 this week, spent a lot of time sick last year, lost some weight, which unfortunately included good muscle. My son is in bootcamp for the next 16 weeks, and I want my body back when I see him at graduation. I want to be a HOT mama.
I am back at hitting the gym, and watching my food, and am loving seeing the changes in my body. Being fit and in the best shape I can be is the best mental boost anyone can have. I love learning all I can to help me be a better person, physically and mentally.
As I head toward 45, I want to be in the best shape as possible, and instill my love of a muscle building on to my son, daughter who is trying to take off the baby weight (grandson is 4 months old) and to my grandson when he is older.

Hey Vince,
There are several reasons I want this program, but the most important one is that as you taught me how to unleash the confidence within me; now I believe I can get myself even in my fifties in to an advance fitness levels and lead others including skeptics when they get to see the transformation of my dream body using the right tools and coaching … See moreadvice that this program promise to deliver. Thanks Vince for the opportunity and bring it on, as you've heard this before it's never too soon or too late to get this done, so let's do this.

Hi Vince,
My name is Silvestre Gonzalez, Im from Colombia.
Basically, Im intested on this program due to the fact that I wanna feel much better my self.
However, I´ve been reading some of the comments of other competitors, and what i guess is so repetitive to hear, it is maybe beacause all of us are trying to find a better looking, for a better living, or as you say, to have a body better than the norm, and to look and feel better than just “average.”
So, having pointing it out, I think, that some other personal aspects, which are for me the reasons for wanting to get this prize is because I´m trying always to give the best impretion of me to people, and even though im not that bad fisically, i wanna be better for giving more, alsom im studying medicine, and I think that if you wanna give an advice of a better way to be heathy, you have to begin for your self.
summing it up, Im looking a better life, not just at home and round the street, but also for the professional way of my future life.
Looking forward to hearing the results.
Best wishes..XD
Half the people you know are below average! Train in ordinary ways, reap ordinary results. Live an ordinary life and be like half the people you know.
I train and live in extraordinary ways, because I expect extraordinary results!!!
Hi Vince, the reason I want to look greater than the norm is because form follows function. Looks come secondary to me, and your program will certainly help me achieve my goals. I want to gain muscle mass for myself as much as for those I love and care about. I know your time is valuable so I’ll try to keep this short. My hope is to get into law inforcement and strength is a very important aspect of staying alive and protecting those I cherish. Right now I am limited because I keep hitting a plague in my training. After a workout I feel really fatigued and sometimes less strong than before. Even if I don’t get this particular program, you can bet I am all ears to your suggestions and other programs. I can’t wait to share my newfound knowledge with all my friends wih similar issues! Thanks for everyhing. -Erik
Hey Vince,
First of all thanks for this chance. I want to be better than the norm not just for me but for the people around me. I want to inspire the people around me with my transformation. I want to be an inspiration to my children, I want them to look up to me and feel proud when they tell someone that's my dad over there! I want to inspire my wife and have her feel proud of me. My siblings, family, coworkers, friends, aquaintances. Everyone and anyone who's said or thought damn, you really let yourself go. But most of all I want to be an inspiration to myself, because I'm one of those people who say damn, you really let yourself go, when I look in the mirror.
thank you,

Hi Vince .i have always been a sporty person growing up i.e playing allot of football,rugby,tennis and basketball but always hated the working out part and that was due to the fact people always told me i didn't have the right genetics to get bigger so i never bothered.so if I'm not lucky enough to get this free membership for a year i would still like to say (THANK YOU) because ever since iv been getting your news letters they have given me the working out bug which is something i never thought would happen.Just by looking at your before and after pictures that is what has really inspired me the most,it just showed everything i have been told is ball***t so (THANK YO) again keep up the good WORK.Ryan
i`m a 42 year old father and husband. All my life i have struggled with my weight. At school i was the last person to be chosen for sport. Although i`m am confident on the outside i secretly yern for a new body. I have tryed every diet going, but they never work. I`ve tryed the gym and like the diets that haven`t worked. I`m not a vein person but all i`ve ever wanted is a semi decent body. What a feeling that would be to have a 42 year old with a six pack. No longer would i be ashamed of swimming with my son, having people pre judge me just because i have a weight problem. I know my family loves me but it must be hard on my wife having a husband with a body issue and a weight problem. I think if i could improve my body , my family would be so proud of me.
Hi Vince, I have been training at the gym for 2 1/2 years, using your No Nonsense Muscle Building and Six Pack program within the last year. My goal when I started was simply to acheive a six-pack! I am currently 54 years old, a small animal veterinarian, with degenerative arthritis in my entire back. Keeping active has been the greatest thing for me at my age and physical condition. The more I trained, the more results I saw. Comments about how big my arms were getting, or that I had great definition inspired me to do more. I started eating healthier. I have always been thin, but seem to stay around 140 lbs. I am close to single digit body fat, and the abs are starting to pop. It is important for me to achieve the best body I can not only for my health, but because it makes me feel more confident. I won't lie…I like getting people to look at me. I want a great body because I can and I deserve it. As I continue into my mid-50's I want to continue looking 30- something, like some people tell me. Aging is not easy..but working out and keeping in great shape has worked for me. Thanks for the programs and inspiration.
Hey Vince,
Thanks for all to free information thus far, I have really enjoyed everything.
First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. Throughout my High School and Collegiate years of sports, I have trained mainly for size and strength. And, although I was big and strong, I have never really, really felt FIT. Now, I am currently an 8 year veteran law enforcment officer and have seen first hand that size and strength isn’t everything my coaches made it out to be. I really am looking for that overall total fitness, which I believe you and your system can help me achieve.
Secondly, I am a father of two (Jackson-5 and Weslynn-2). And instead of leading them down the wrong path of health and fitness, which was taught to me. I would like to lead them by example, and show the the right ways to achieve a heathly body and mind.
Thanks for your time and consideration, I have read many of the posts on your website and wish you best of luck in your decision, many great stories and reasons out there.
Sincerely,
Jason
Why do I want to look greater than the norm? Because I don't believe in the norm. Being satisfied with 'the norm' in any area of your life doesn't leave you were you are at….you degrade. You become less and less if you are not becoming more and more. When you settle, you take step backwards. When you set your mind higher to achieve something or improve yourself you move forward. If you can do it with your body you can do it with your dream job. When you see results of hard work and dedication and playing smart you start to realize that you can aim at anything and hit. I believe that to be happy…and to make others happy…you have to be doing yourself a favor in three departments…body, mind, and spirit. They tie together and work together, but if you have no goals in any of these you've just settled for unhappiness. I'd like to look better than the norm because it will show that the choices I make in eating, training, living, thinking, and setting goals are moving me forward to where I want to go. When I move towards greater things for myself; my friends, my family, and all their friends may find that desire within themselves too.
hey vincy, pfffff what al lot of responses woow it's gonna be like a lottery, and a lot of long story's haha wel i have taught and taught but it al come's down to me to be simply HAPPY to have the formula to succeed in life in every aspect of life. short but powerful we say here in the netherlands.

Hey mate,
Pretty much for myself, going from being the fat kid in school to where I am now has been mind blowing. I mean, I don't have a great body but compared to where I used to be I look awesome. People I haven't seen since school don't recognise me. But that's not unusual right? Happens to people all the time.
I want something even better. I want to blow beyond my genetic potential and create a body so amazing that when I take my shirt off no one can look away. I have a goal to come to Canada at the end of the year and work the snow season there and I have something I've wanted to do for a long time and that's to do the boxer run. Boarding the whole way down the mountain wearing just boxer shorts. I DON'T want to do it looking like I am now though, and without a program like 'Maximize Your Muscle', I'm not going to be changing my body a great deal.
I need this to help me create the body of my dreams, and while I'm doing that, to create the life I want outside the gym.
Chris Carpenter,

P.S. I'm just doing a bit of a Facebook check up on a girl I met at a club last night… turns out she's a model. I just gave myself a new reason to create that body I want… Lol.
During my middle school time,i often see people being bullied.And after i graduate,i have decided to become strong,physically strong(of cause u have to be mentally strong) so that at least i got the physical strength to protect someone close to me.Why nt become stronger if u got a chance to do it?
Dear Vince,
I want to look greater than the norm, because I need to get my life on the line again. I sorta screwed up at school, my diabetes, relationships etc. And I've also lost my self confidence.
So I need to get some rythm in my life, and maybe you're the kind of person that'd be able to give me some.
Love from Holland,
J.J.
Better than norm! Vince, I've been a classroom teacher for almost 20 years. This year, I've decided to pursue my passion and leave the classroom and learn to be a farmer.
When I was in my teens and twenties, I danced for exercise and did NOT want muscles. Girls don't need strength, so I thought, so I stretched and worked on cardio. I had a Jane Fonda LP record for aerobics! Did you know that Jane Fonda put out a record? Well, I had it and I was slim and happy.
Now I'm almost 50 and have learned to appreciate strength and shapely muscles. I've been working out with a local bootcamp trainer and having a ball. I can see muscle definition and I can do things I hadn't thought I could do. Since I am moving away from this town, I need a portable training system like your MYM program. I want to look good and be strong as I pitch hay, tend the cattle and fix the tractor. My health and good looks will show others that the farm's produce (organic and all natural) is good for them, too.
I'm ready to be one of your "before and after" photos. Pick me and you'll help me move from an OK body to an amazing body.
Forty years ago, when I was 29, my doctor advised me that I had to lose weight and shape up or I would ship out permanently. I took the advice seriously and trained and dieted. I went from a fat 260 pounder to a lean tough 184 pounds. I looked and felt great, met the girl of my dreams and am still happily sharing my life with her. However,over the years, I have allowed myself to get out of shape. I began working out a couple of months ago and I am starting to feel good about myself again. I know I am starting to look and feel good and I intend to continue until I reach my highest potential. Here in Australia, Norm is the nick-name for the national couch potato. I will not allow myself to be included anywhere in that group. When I walk by, I want people to think "Look at the build on the old geezer". My name is Karl, I will not be a Norm.
Hello there, I need something/someone to motivate me to look better. I look in the mirror and am disgusted with what I see looking back at me. My son and daughter are very athletic, doing marathons, triathlons, hiking etc and want to do more with them. I have done two half marathons but need to get back in shape to be there again.
I wait for theday that the only saddlebags I have are on my Harley!!!!!
Thanks for your time. Elaine

Well Vince i'le tell you why i want to be more than average, because being average means your like everyone else.Im not one to be the next average guy in the world.I have always wanted to be bigger than my mates, my dad and the guys that i look up to.the next time i visit my dad in nz i want to make him proud and then give him some tips and show him that skinny guys can get massive lol I can imagine making my mates look at me like shit this guys dedicated.I want to be able to walk in a club or down the street with confidence in knowing i can handle myself or help my mates out. i want to meet a nice girl that can not only be attracted to my personality but also to my massive guns lol I want to be the best me i can be and if getting a beautiful physique is one of the upgrades needed to complete me then i believe your the man for the job vince! 8D
I want to be beyond the norm because I want to be the best I can be for my children and all those who will remember me down through the years, I owe it to myself to at least try.
Looking great is important not only in lending credence to but also helps to instill confidence as well as to win over the hearts and minds of others (especially the cynical and skeptical ones) in my pursuit of sharing good deeds and planting the seeds of loving-kindness for the benefit of all human beings in my daily life.
First off vince let me say ive been a loyal subsciber to you for about 3 years now.And i have your no-nonsense muscle building program.great stuff.the reason i think i deserve a better body and your program is ive been working out since i was 17(im 30 now) and never really seen much gains because im that terrible word a hard gainer.lol
so ive had to scratch and claw my way to whatever muscle i have.last summer i had a bad case of kidney stones and it hurt me so bad i could not work out or barely eat,so i dropped down to below 145 lbs.So when i was well enough to go back to the gym i lost a significant amount of muscle and i just started eating everything in sight to gain it back.and i did,but it wasnt muscle most of it was fat.so now 8im that"skinny fat guy" you talk about in your videos.Id like my old muscular body back vince,actually i want above that i want a better body than before.And i think you are the person to motivate me and help me achieve that goal of being a better person all around.I need motivation and your maximize your muscle program will give me the tools and strength to get me to my goal and beyond it.thank you for this chance.
Hi Vince,
My name is Amit Sidhwani, 27 year old Male from Udaipur, Rajathan, India.
First of all, Congrats to you and Flavia for your upcoming marriage !!!!
Well, let me give you a brief introduction of my health history before I cite the reasons why I want to gain more muscles and go beyond, not reach but go beyond my genetic potential. I have been obese since my childhood. At the age of 21, when I could not find any decent clothes of my size in the whole city, my waistline was 44 inches at that time weighing 117 kgs, I decided the very same day that in next 12 months I have to achieve waistline of 32 inches. And in next 10 months, I reduced 45 kgs n 12 inches of waistline without any gym or trainer but purely by reading health journals, through regular jogging and low carb diet. The results were amazing as I reached my goal before deadline but I wanted more as I lost weight but I looked like a lethargic patient.
I managed to keep the same weight by following same routine of low carb diet and slow and steady cardio for next 5 years. As I didn’t changed the program, the results were bound to be the same, and I continued with that pale look without any trace of muscle on my body !!! But lately, from last 6 months, I have been following MIKE Geary’s 6 Pack Abs program along with tips from your blog and I have seen some terrific results. I dropped my body fat from 17% to 6.6 % in last 3 -4 months and build some muscles along with appearance of few sexy nerves and veins on my forehead and hand.
Now, to answer your question, I have solid three reasons why I want to gain more power packed muscles.
Firstly and most importantly, Three months back, I left a very well paid job and started pursuing my dream of becoming a successful Model and Actor, as I feel one must do what he wants to do, rather than what he is suppose to do. So it is very important for me to have muscles of full potential and to have a great body to secure great success in my career, and its not only to do well professionally but also to set an example for people associated with me to prove them that we humans have potential to achieve what we think as I will be, by sporting ripped and muscle packed body and reaching great heights in my career. I would like to be a radical transformation which can uplift the spirits of people I love so that they also start pursuing their dreams, involve themselves in what they love to do and stop doing what they are suppose to do in order to attain eternal bliss, as I am on cloud nine 24 X 7 since I am pursuing my dream of life !!!!
Secondly, I just love to be physically fit as I truly believe healthy body leads to healthy mind. I feel if I am physically fit, I can perform stupendously in my personal, professional and spiritual life as all these three spheres of life involves physical labor in one form or other. So its very vital for me to be ultra fit with more muscles to excel in all three spheres of life !!!!
Thirdly and finally, I really feel fantabulous when a girl or lady gives me a compliment on my body. Its one of the motivation which keeps me striving. Yes, I want to go beyond my genetic potential and be an owner of sexiest body around with hard steel muscle as I love to attract girls and would like to continue to have their compliments and appreciation on my body !!!!
Cheers and keep up the good work.
Amit Sidhwani
hey bro i want to win this prize cos im tired of being a gonna(gonna do this gonna do that), im always saying this an that , but i really want this so i can feel the best iv ever felt about my self, so i can in turn motivate my fiance who needs my help to motivate her to get to where she wants to be for our upcoming wedding(in one year)also i want to be a great role model to my new born son, i kinda corrupted my partner when we first got together ads i was a huge eater, alcohol drinker an although lately iv been able to shed some pounds she has found it hard to do, especially after giving birth, also i play rugby an iv always been a just above average player but never went far i think due to my lack of personal time training , ive always relied on natural ability,and i want to be stronger and better than iv ever been so people go woah! when they see me, over the last couple years iv los 30kg but now i need some muscle an strength, also if anything i need to no how to do some weights to help support a lapral tear i have in my right shoulder so i can keep on doin the damage, sorry that wasnt a cry or nothing just if i dont win could you pleez get me a solution other than surgery
first of all I wanna say happy easter …ok lets get down to business, a better body would make an amazing impact on my life.i would be way more confedient to stand up for my-self,get girls,amaze those people that always use to pick on me, and grow a brand new personality …there are 3 main reasons why I deserve a better body .reason #1: I’ve always work hard to reach my goals nd I promise you if I win I will bust my butt to obtain the true goal (obtain the perfect body).reason #2 I also believe that I deserve the perfect body because I love challenges nd this is one of them and this is the most challenging.my 3rd and final reason is because ive always wanted a reward for all the good things I’ve done in life but I want to work really hard for the reward…if my body was better than norm. I would put straight to work (get girls,impress people,and just show it of)…to me it’s very important I mean very important to feel and look better than just average.because I’m tired of being an average “joe” I wanna be that guy who looks great,can stand up for himself,has a beuatiiful girlfriend etc. The main reason why I’m answering these questions is because I want to be different I want to change ,make an impact on my life,become a better person,and to obtain my goal… P.s. If I don’t win thanks anyways for taking the time to read my response:-)
Your prob asking why I havn't brought your program yet… well to be honest I havn't being able to afford it even when you have had thoese massive sale's on.
I my partner and 7yr old daughter and one on the way due in August live in a garage, so you can see we're a little tight on cash, and yes I work so no I'm not a bum looking for a free ride.
But yes a little help in life to get me a bigger step into doors, that wouldn't even look at me before would be highly appriciated. In the type of work I do, being fit plays a key role. And to end my little story, I would like to be in a physic where I could compete and not be shy of my body.
Thanks for ya time happy easter god bless and keep on pumping, cause I will be even if I don't win, cause losing only makes ya stronger (well thats how I like to look at it).
Ki ora Vince an Flavia from down under here in world famous New Zealand lol!!! __Well where do I start, why do I want to be more than the norm??? thats easy, cause I want all the attention ha ha, well thats part of it I guess.__And cause I want to go well over my potential and blow every one away with my awesume physic (with the help from you guys of course) and show fellow Kiwis how it's done ha. __I have followed your blogs since start of the year, till now and have to say your idea's and techniques, are best to none.__I have use some myself, so I already know it works, and my workmate's like it too. In fact we are all having a competion on who can get the most ripped by the end of this year.__I have read up so much on training and diet, even started giving advice to some people, but I've read so much it's got me confused but alot of things. Thats where I would benifit more If I had your help to guide me to my hidden potential, and show me the right path to go down.__I'm 30yrs now no prior weight training, but just from what you have put up in your blogs I'm getting results already, but I need more.__
"Winners do now what others saved till later".
The norm of our society consists of people settling for what they are given.
Many do not want to fight the fight it takes to become better than the norm. Our fast food socitey has made us weak through catering our every need, crafting our expectency to accept nothing more than right now.
If I accepted this mould like so many others, i'd end up in a boring, unsatisfying job, working for somebody who's attitude and representation of life I hate, where eventually that hate and dissatisfaction creeps into other facets of my life, where eventually i'm like everyother rat in the cage. Performing tricks for cheese.
F*** that.
vWhat we ourselves take as the cornerstones of our lifestyle, be that our hobbies, our jobs, our relationships. They all forge who we are and who we will become in every other aspect of our lives.
Whilst it is hard to get into the right job, and get into some things. What we do down the gym IS something we can control. By figuring out what we do not know through learning off worthy role models, we are able to become what many our not, with a little hard work of course.
I have completed the first 2 months of MYM already, & MAN is it hard. but satisfying!? YES!
Have I accrewed a following off the gym through working out like no one else does & coming back everytime with an improved body that says "I know what i'm doing!?". Yes!
Have I been refered to as the strongest looking guy in the gym more than once. Yes
Have I finished work outs wanting to vom & pass out at the same time! Yes! Was it worth it! Damn Straight it was!
More importantly, has dedicating myself to MYM helped give me support to improve my attitude & response to life everytime I get kicked down trying to get out this rat cage. Without a doubt!
I believe the only way to really Live Life if you KNOW you can do better, is to push yourself out of this box. & from experience, I know this program to be a keystone in improving my life & working to get out that box. I've had some great fortune coming into great role models for success such as Vinnie & many of the guy's on the forum & know that these people are an inspriation to continue pushing to get out that box and into Life. & after all, why would any one really want to live in a box on the shelf? Do you? No, that's why we're all here reading these.
Peace
Hey Vince,
I am 52 years old, and I am a personal trainer. I started my own business training people in their homes using mostly bodyweight exercises and we hit the trails or t=parks to do some interval training. MOst of my clients are wanting to lose weight, so I gear the routines to fit their needs. My problem is, since I run with them doing theintervals and the bodywwight routines to keep them motivated and push them to keep going and not quit, I am losing weight right along with them! BUT…I don’t need to lose weight, so I am struggling to keep the muscle gains I have made in my own training. So, trying to gain muscle while wirking with my clients helping them lose weight, I need SOMETHING…namely your MYM program, to get me past THIS particular plateau. At least I know what I’m doing for my clients works, since I’m losing wieght right along with them, but I’m needing that edge to keep/gain muscle and not lose ground. Heck, at my age, I can’t afford to lose any more ground! Keep up the good work Vince…you’re a true inspiration not only to the young guys coming up but to us older guys who have been at it a while and need an extra kick in the butt from time to time.
Thanks…
Kenny
Hi VINCE…..I guess you don’t want to hear my sorb story so i’m gonna just tell you straight up ….I would love to lose weight. I’m so ready YESTERDAY.

Hi Vince, Well I guess I could give you my sorb story but really plain and simple…I would love more then anything in this world to lose weight. I’ve dedicated the last 18 yrs to my 5 kids as a single mum. It’s NOW TIME THAT I TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE and what a BETTER way to find, discover and transform myself mentally, emotionally and ESPECIALLY physically USING YOUR PROGRAM. I know that I can be as BEAUTIFUL and shine on the outside as I am on the inside. Thank you for this opportunity …….have a good day…heilala.
okay so ive been keeping updated with all your videos and workouts and ive got to hand it to you , the stuff is really well thought out and definitely works.theres soo much misleading stuff on the internet the more you look the more confused you get.
its been about 7 months since i started working out and ive just been stuck in a rut lately. ive always been called crazy for the intensity i train with and i definitely believe im in that 1% of people who want to be above normal, why? because i want to be THAT person, i want to be the guy with the best body in town, the guy who motivates others, the guy whos results actually SHOW how much he works his ass off . and at the moment ,it really doesnt show how hard i work to achieve my goals. i started off chubby and really muscuarly under developed, started off with 12.5 inch arms, 38 inch chest/back measurement and a 34 inch waist with 15% bodyfat around 170opunds
now its 15inch arms, 44 inch chest/back (yes iv got huge boobs too now lol) and a 31 inch waist, with 12% bodyfat., around 160 pounds. i want to hit 200!
trust me,i would have taken initiative a loooong time ago if i had a credit card, or at least lived in the usa
but since im only 17 i dont have one lol and my dad..well lets just say its highly unlikely he'll do anything before the deadline ,and even if he did i would have no way of getting the hardcopies.
if you do pick me, and i seriously hope you do,could you mail me softcopies?
im tired of mediocracy, im tired of my efforts not showing, and i just want to be the guy who stands out from the rest

I never believed in the law of attraction until now. Last night, I asked for a new body. I never check my email during the weekend but today something just drove me to hit that Send/Receive button in my inbox.
My first email was this competition that was emailed to me by a friend from whom I had not heard from in a long time. I immediately called that friend and asked her to tell me why she sent me that email. She said it was by mistake. She wanted to send it to another friend who loves to train with weights and even apologized to me for sending it.
I am now certain that this is the program that will change my body and the body of everyone that tries it. As you can see it was not luck that drove me to this program. Far too many strange events took place for it to be a coincidence.
This is the program that we have all been waiting for to change our bodies. If you are like me, you will have tried numerous body-transformation programs only to get zero results. You may have experienced some great results in the beginning only to plateau in the end. The end result to give up in frustration – and back to a body worse than you had before. I want a new body because it is the foundation of achieving flow in my life. Without a nice and healthy body it is impossible to balance my heart, soul and mind. I am not confident to ask anyone on a date because I am overweight. I do not like to go out often in public because I am ashamed of my weight. Is this just me? Does this happen to you also? If so, I am confident that we are in the right place.
The Law of Attraction has identified MYM as the program that will change the body and life of everyone that signs up for it!!!
Thats awesome Tina. Very cool to hear.
Vince, my father and I were both diagnosed with a rare genetic auto-immune disorder called A1AD. It causes our lungs to slowly deteriorate over time, much like a smoker's lungs would. Essentially, we develop emphysema because of our exposure to normal environmental pollutants like smog, dust, aerosols and second-hand smoke. There is no cure.
The only treatment for my condition – apart from avoiding pollutants – is to ensure that my lungs remain in good shape and that I stay fit. Hence I have been training heavily for several years now, and have built quite a good body. Recently my father's condition has deteriorated dramatically. He is now a shadow of his former self, and he is currently dying.
This has strengthened my resolve to exceed my potential, both physically and spiritually. I no longer want to simply stay in shape. I cannot do anything to stop my father from dying, and I cannot make his pain go away. But what I can do is exceed my own potential in life. I now want to build the best body I conceivably could. I like your attitude to body building. It is about more than simply getting bigger. It is about life. It is about living your life larger than you thought you ever could. That is what attracted me to your program.

My story is nothing special, but it is the story of a growing majority of people. As a young child I was a legitimately cute kid, but by the 1st grade I could clearly see that I was noticeably bigger than most other kids, my only relief was that I was taller as well. I always thought it was baby fat, but baby fat stuck with me my whole life and soon grew into adulthood as I did. I have always been an athletic kid as well; I played on the second grade level basketball team in 1st and 2nd grade, swam and was on the b-ball team for my elementary and jr. high schools; in high school, I played golf and football where I learned I was naturally strong physically and mentally (I maxed out @ bench 300lbs and squat 725lbs)
Bottom Line is that I got stronger, but I could never loose the weight. I figured it was genetics and I couldn't fight my gens, so I stopped trying to lose weight and continued to focus on strength. Now I am a 21 year old strong college student weighing in at 358 lbs with no direction. Story of my life…
Just once in my life I would like to have that confident physique, where I can take my shirt off at the beach or pool without feeling self-conscious, where a girl can hug all of me and not just the front, and a feeling that my work is for more than something not apparent.

Hi Vince
I am a very motivated athlete, but my stomach conditions have put me back. I have gastroperesis which has prevented me from gaining any muscle because I cannnot eat very much in a day. Three meals are hard enough to get not to mention protein shakes. I have worked so hard to look bulky, but the only reason I haven’t is because of gastroperesis. I have been on an extreme lifting schedule, but I still haven’t gotten results. I’m not asking you to feel sorry for me, but this program could get me the body I always wanted and worked for. This would help me get above 100 pounds and I would really benefit from using this program.

Hopefully I'm not too late.. but even if, I'd still like to share. I feel like when I push myself to be stronger, to look better, and perform to unimaginable feats of strength.. I am an inspiration to not only myself, but to everyone I encounter. When people see what's possible they start to believe in themselves. I try to be a walking billboard to make others want to improve themselves and I have to learn from the best to do so..
Thanks for all you do to make this world a healthier and stronger place.
I am just starting out wit your other program, but he i don't gone tell big story here. I just want in so give me the free stuff Thank is andvance i will use it and i will be a succes story.
Hey Vince,
Good luck reading all those comments! LOL
Enjoy & have a great weekend.
Rock on,
Rob
Vince,
I really want a body healthier, more toned, and more beautiful than the norm. I have always been able to eat any and everything that I desired…that is, until I turned 30. Once that happened, it seemed like an internal switch in my body went off putting my metabolism into slow motion. Since I am now nearing 40, it is that much harder for me even to just maintain my current weight. I have decided that now is the time that I will take care of my health and work towards the body that I have always dreamed of.
I hate always putting my job first…even before myself and my family. It's about time I think of myself. I decided I want to return to school to be a fitness instructor or a personal trainer to help others feel better about themselves and to help them get closer to achieving their dream body.
I know it will take lots of hard work, motivation, determination, and desire to get to where I want to, but I do feel like I have the heart and attitude to get to where I want to be. I am hoping that if I start to take care of myself the way I deserve, I will have the confidence that I need to succeed whatever I put my heart and mind to.
Thanks
Hi vince, my names sophie duffy I live in the UK….I’ve always been passionate about sport and fitness. I started karate when I was 7 and got my black belt by the time I was 10 I was swimming county level as well it was all about sport and being the best. I am now 22 and still a massive fitness enthusiast, I am now a personal trainer…I have found that as I’ve got older my goals for being fit have changed for me its now about looking the best I can and have the best body I can get…I train pretty hardcore and eat well. I think 4 me I want the perfect body for myself so I feel confident because no matter how hard I train or how much weight I lose I never feel good enough…which is pretty upseting really. I need control of how I feel about myself. I love training I love acheiving new things and new challenges and bettering myself that’s why I want to be different from the norm…
Happy easter and thanks for your time
Hey Vince,
The one and only reason I want to have a great body is, so that my friends stop hassling me about my food habits. I don't exactly like trying new foods, but I do get my nutrition, but that doesn't seem to be enough for em…
So, if I have an amazing body… it'll speak for itself, so I don't have to.
Hi Vince, I Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm because I've been trying to achieve good results for 3 years but despite I train hard 5 times a week, I don't have any good results. I want to prove my family, friends and all of the guys with the superb bodies that I can do it too. I am a football (soccer) player and my deam is to become a professional player but I need good fitness which I still don't have. I really need your free help. Anyway, I am a person who never give up so I won't give up now too.
People who don't know me may think I am just a guy who want take a free help but people who know me, know how important my body is to me.

You know what im getting at here, I dont just see this as getting BIG, I see knowledge and understanding of why body and muscle tissue react the way they do when you do this action followed by this routine.
All this amazes me and I hope this attracts atleast you attention for it is possible that I could be after this Gym membership because I want to show all the people that bullied me for the majority of my schooling years that I wont be pushed around no more and I will protect myself if need be…………I will let you decide
Thanks Vince Im always reading you e-mails.
Best Regards

Hi my name is Robert Davey from the UK, I'd like to start off wit saying 'wow', their are some really good reasons to why these people should win the free Gym membership, and good luck to you
very happy but I can't really seem to get any bigger……
I would like like /gym membership beacuse……I have trained for 5-6 years starting weight 8.5st @ age 18.
Im now weighing in @ 11.9st, with my heaviest of 13.2st but I was carrying a lot of baggage, if you get what I mean.
Motivation……………?????
At my heaviest I stopped training becauase I had gained SOO much body fat, that's not too say that I didn't gain muscle mass, because I DID
maybe I dont know enough about weight traning, different diet regimes, enough excersize to do?, correct sleeping pattern? maybe ALL of these I don't know.
I would benifit from this membership not just from the amazing offer which is offered but from the knowledge that I could learn from a qualified trainer who could teach me EVERYTHING (or close to it….)

To stand out in the crowd and look the best – still, at the age of 59, Even though I somehow continue to workout 5 days a week (for the past 15 plus years) with all my short comings and illnesses, I still maintain the never-say-die attitude, with God's grace. Cheers and A Very Happy Easter, God Bless.

to win a bet, a bet with myself, im overweight(about 25 pounds) and if im not in good shape by my birthday (june 24th) ill show pics of me shirtless on facebook
perhaps the real reason behind all that i just that i want to look hot for my girl, make her friends jealous, that would make her really happy…
I want to better than the 'norm' because a fit, muscular body shows that you take care of yourself and you are healthy. I have 2 young boys under 3 and have managed to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and although I look fine there is definatley room to improve. I need to tighten up and have my body look like I spend 6 days a week working out and eating healthy which is exactly what I do, but the body is just not responding. With the daily demands of being a mum fitting in a workout can also be tiring and exhausting, but I do it, and i make it a priority. Now I need to find something that works and something that shows the world the effort that I am putting in!:)
Hey Vince,
You are an inspiration! You give me hope. When I was in Junior high the kids would make fun of me, they would call me skinny bone jones. All through High School I could out eat all my friends, but I could not gain an inch of muscle. I would pull my shorts up above my stomach to give others the allusion that I was bigger. But my self esteem was down the toilet. I have tried many diets through the years and I have failed at all of them. Now I have a potbelly and I would estimate my bodyfat at 22%. I need your 12 month membership really bad! I look at you in high school and I can relate too you. You transformed your body and you give me the inspiration that if you could do it I can too. Vince, help me achieve this and pick me as one of the three.
Thank you.

i am from singapore,come on who doesn't want something greater than normal? everyone does right… defintely im not gonna miss out on this and would be giving this a try. Basically everyone would play at least a sport in their life. i want to achieve something greater than norm man. playing hard for the sport means training hard at it and not giving up halfway through. i am a basketball player and i would like to improve my physique to be able to compete with better players. and bodybuilding can help me improve and bodybuilding makes someone fit and gives him confidence and i would like to have that. with a new body i can defintely improve my sport and bring it to the next level. it will defintely change opinion of people around me for looking skinny all the time.
Hi Vince,
For most of my lefe I have been skinny so I never did any exercise since I had no mass to move around. Now, I have just crossed 40 and have got a few lbs on me. For last 1 1/2 years I have become serious about my fitness levels. I hit the gym 3-4 times a week for an hour. Do stair climbing during lunch break (1000 steps) and go cycling on the week ends. Right now I am at the best of my physical abilities in my life, but still lack that muscle definition and body shape.
I believe in "Leading by example" and you seem to have an ideal body. I am not trying to flatter you. I have been following your other programs for last 1-2 years but have not been fully committed. Now I am at a stage to make a full commitment and will give it all I have to get that "Dream Body".
I am based at Perth, Australia
I am a fresh graduate from biochemistry and biomedical that started working almost for 8 months now. Being relatively fit before (5"9, 145 lbs) and now being trapped in a laboratory almost 10 hours a day and having bad food options had packed on over 20 pounds of fat in my body. I feel weak, I don't feel motivated and I absolutely don't have the libido I used to have when I was in university. My local gym is about an hour away from work and it'll take a good chunk of my time just to go there, do my reps and sets and head back home. That's why I need my workouts to be very efficient and can get me home as soon as possible. This job has already cost me quality time with my family and sometimes I just want to spend more time with my parents at the dinner table. I love my family but in the same time I want to work out and be fit again. It would simply be great if I can balance out family, my health/body and work. I really need some help here Vince and that's why I hope to win this competition.
FAT and UNFIT,2 words that haunt me ever since I was 10 years old.Having jeered at,though jokingly,was a common thing i encounter everyday.Though I laughed alongside my friends for making fun of me,but deepdown inside,my self-esteem spiralled down and down.
Its hard for me to build a rapport with my peers as I was always being outcasted,the one and only 'fat boys' in my class.Wanted to have a game of leisure soccer,but was rejected,thinking that I can't run and chase for the ball.More often than not,I was being made the goalkeeper instead,as they think its the most suitable position for me where No running is involved.
This went on till college.Things got better though.Better friends who regarded me jus like one of them.
However,1 thing that daunted me the most is my inability to interact well with girls.Before i even start to open a conversation with a girl,thousand and one questions ran through my mind.Will she reciprocate?Is she even going to look at me and chat sincerely?Is she just going to ignore me?and many many more.As a result,I rarely engaged conversations with girls.Seeing all the better looking and fitter guys getting along well with girls easily is really disheartening.
After college,before serving the nation in the military,I told myself enough is enough.I am determined to get out of this.Started to log on the internet,look for any and every information I can possible find about exercise types,muscle building,fat loss,nutrition and every other topic about fitness.I had since started hitting the gym and eat selectively.And i am happy wit the results!Everyone started commenting about me, "Izzat,u had changed a lot.You looked great".And many more comments along that line.I even got together with a girl who used to be my classmate.
Though things have turned for the better,I wouldnt say my body is that of an above-average joe.I would rly love to have that dream body I've always wanted.I am still getting more information about fitness(one of the website i regularly visit is yours,Vince).I would really love to tell my friends that anyone can do it if max effort is put in,and achieving that great body will reap a lot of benefits,regaining more confidence being one of them.

Then I will be able to look great in my metro sexual clothing! All thanks to Vince.

Hey Vince hows it going buddy? I want a body thats beyond normal a body people can only dream of obtaining. I have always been a chubby kid for most of my life until recently I have been working out and seeing results thanks to your videos. I really want this membership to help me get a better body. I have always been the guy in my group without a girlfriend or the kid who couldnt hang out with girl unless his friend brought some. I was usually never able to talk to girl because I felt that I was always out of their league and never dared to talk to the hot or popular girls but with the access to this membership I feel I will achieve greater confidence in myself and having the body of my dream and inspiring others to do the same that may be going through the same situation I have been under. I would also use this to help my brother because he is obese for his age and I want him to slim down and obtain a great figure also so he wont have to go through what I had to deal with. And the thing that bother me the most was when ever I got into a fight or arguement with someone the only diss they had on me was calling me fat or making fat jokes and I had nothing to say back to that. What could I have said yea well I don't have a 6 pack like you :S which clearly was what I have always wanted. I absolutley love working out now I have come a long way and I just need to shed some of the extra fat I still have and Im solid and with this membership I know I will be able to achieve greatness.
As of right now Vince my mental health is not really great. I have started to workout for about a month now and have seen some improvement in my physical shape. With that little improvement in physical shape I have witnessed a better mentality. With this package I feel it would really bring out a greater me both physically and mentally which I would love to have. I'm not going to bore you any longer with a speech but I just wanted to thank you for inspiration for all these people. Thanks.
"Why Do You Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?"
My LDS / Mormon / Christian religion teaches me that my body is "a temple." God gave it to me in a perfect (or near perfect) condition and I'd like to return it the same way.
(Or preferably just not return it at all!) I also believe that "men are that they might have joy," and it is easier to be completely happy if one is in shape.
After all, we were created in God's image! I refuse to believe that he eats junk food and sits around growing a beer belly all day. (Neither should we!) He's always progressing toward some goal.
THANK YOU for your insights into fitness, and for principles that enable me to lead a fuller, better life!
Fitness is an element of happiness. What does that make supreme fitness?
For years I have been an avid reader of fitness, magazines, journals, and anywhere else I could get a program that would work for me, but even more than that one that I would work for. Since college where I was a Division I athlete I became very dedicated to making myself fit. The problem was most of the time I didn’t feel like one, because I didn’t think I looked like one. I worked out hard, really hard. I felt like I was inching closer but I would never get there. Soon to follow were the binges, the peaks and valleys, and I was going nowhere- forever.
More frustrating- I am a physical therapist by trade, and my wife is a dietitian. So I feel like I know about the body and about food, but something ain’t working. I feel like I need someone to empower me, to drive me with the confidence of proven success. I am often very cynical when it comes to a lot of “fitness programs” I come across-but I know this is program is different. About 3 years ago I lost 30 lbs, probably not totally the right way, but oh well. I know I had lost some lean mass too. But what I also saw for the first time in my life was that line of definition between my abs and my obliques. I remember what that feeling was like. I want that back only I want more of it. Help me Vince!
There are many reasons i want to have a better looking body all my life people have told me i look skinny on a good day im a buck fifty. im quite proud of myself i have been working out for 2 full months now and have gained about 8 pounds! this is with my workouts and compared to you i know nothing. Girls are slowly starting to notice but but i mean just barely i want to be able to take my shirt of at a beach and ppl just say wow!! and i would be dedicated to this workout. truthfully ive never heard of this program till about a week ago checking out muscle building websites no disrespect but im really curious if this is hype or your program is ass badass is it sounds!! you let me try this program and i wont let ya down!
I hope my comment was in the right place to enter the contest. My body seems to be better at being physical than figuring out computer blogs. Please let me know if my comment went to the right place or if not, WHERE TO POST IT???
Phyllis Landis from El Prado (TAOS) New Mexico. To start with, I am 5"2" tall, or short as the case may be, weigh 115 lbs, am 73 years young, ski the double blacks in Taos Ski valley and am looking to create a safe and effective strength program. To get to Kachina Peak in the ski area you must walk abound the mountain at over 12,000 feet. To do this requires strength and endurance. The last time I did it, it took 1hr and 55 minutes and I was last to get there. My goal is to cut my time in half and be in the very front of the pack.
In addition to that goal, I want more muscle so I can burn more body fat and have a killer butt and killer abs. I once told my son, who is 47, that I wanted my butt to be in such great shape that when I died I could be upside down in my coffin. Now that is a long, long way off so we have time to work on it.
Please help me by awarding me the prize.
PS. I also want to inspire my significant other who is in the Health and Fitness Industry and who is a younger man.
Hey Vince,
I almost hate to post a comment, just one more for you to read, but I feel obligated to do so. The question posed is "Why do you want to look something greater than the norm?" At the risk of coming off as pretentious, I already AM greater than the Norm, so I want my outside to match my insides. For more years than I was technically single, I have poured my heart and soul into raising the most responsible, upstanding, good-natured, kind young men, and guess what. We (the boys and I) must be doing it right, because they are all that, and more. Whether it be parenting, helping out family, my work, or taking care of my household, I pour my energy into everything I do. Consistently, people wonder how I manage all that I have in my life, and my response is, 'because I have to'. And I not only manage it — I do it with grace and flair and expertise. In short, I Am Awesome.
Another part of the story involves my impact on all the kids I deal with. At my job, I work with the young set, helping them make decisions that will promote their health and well-being in school, and hopefully instill some life skills that will serve them well for years to come. At this age, kids are very literal. If I talk about 'being strong', but can't lift the sand box off the floor onto the table, where's my credibility? If I'm trying to explain the importance of using your brain rather than your brawn to solve an argument, they won't believe I'm an expert unless I can show them the brawn. How can I teach my own children the importance of staying fit and healthy if I am not doing that myself? How can I continue to shovel my hill of a driveway every year without the muscle to do so? How can I haul the treadmill from the garage into the basement without the extraordinary, "abnormal", power to accomplish this? My body needs to exceed the norm, because my life is outside the norm.
And lastly, "why do I want to look like greater than the norm?" I want to look like Flavia.
With utmost respect,
Kath Borden
Vince,
I am simply plain and simple tired of being fat and tired of people making fun of me because I am fat in my stomach. I have had people actually ask me when my baby is due. It is very frustrating and I want to get my self esteem back. I want to feel good about my self image again. Although I have had medical problems, which probably don't help my situation, I just want my life back, so I can feel good around others and be proud of how I look and not embarrassed.
My name is Alberto, I’m 21 y/o. I live in Mexico. When I was a kid, I had asthma problems, and my mom had to give me cortisol to have it under control. I went from being a slim normal kid, to a very fat, maybe yet not obese. I admit I was continuously bullied in school, and I was ashamed of my physique. I had this problem since around 10 to 17 years old. Finally my asthma problem was over and I decided I wanted to look good, fit, so that people never again disrespected me. So I started exercising, running, and doing a little bit of weights, though I had no routine or knowledge whatsoever about it. After a year or so I started losing a lot of weight and looking much better but now I was very skinny with no shape. Around that time I got my first girlfriend which was really gorgeous and that boosted my motivation to continue developing my physique and overall health. I started to focus primarily on weights and started reading a lot about building muscle and correct nutrition. Now, I actually consider myself a good looking guy, confident (not that much), I’m fit and have a good physique, but I want more. I know I can reach something even greater and continue growing in many aspects of my life. I don’t know if I deserve this MYM program, but I really want it to compliment my hard effort and years of hard training in the gym.
Vince,
I want to be something above and beyond the average. I want to have the confidence when I'm in public. I feel as if i need to have an amazing body to truly fulfill my potential. I want people to be inspired and strive to be physically fit, and I want to be a role model to them. I want to prove to no one but myself that I really can accomplish something great. I know that I can, but, I just need that extra push.
Thank you,
Logan
Hey Vince,
I was a chubby kid for as long as I could remember, a pure product of sports video games and its "nutrition". My father encouraged me to start going to the gym. Me and my brother used to walk to the gym, that might sound normal, but living in the gulf where temperatures sometimes reached 120 F ! ……
We then started challenging each other with the amount of reps we can do, the weights we can lift, very normal for teenagers. However, slowly my mentality towards the gym changed from challenging my brother to challenging myself. Doing an extra rep the next time, or adding another pound, became more of my challenge to myself, I realized that the person I always wanted to beat is me, no body else.
Unfortunately, I ran into a car accident when I was 19, and my lower back was badly injured. I also injured my shoulder. I was out of the gym for more than a year, with back pains that used to wake me up at night. However, that feeling of challenging myself was deep in me. I went back to the gym, and worked on strengthening my back and shoulder for a whole 2 years. It was F***ed up. Excuse my language, but there are times were I teared up of frustration in the gym.
My back is strong enough now that I'm back to doing deadlifts (up to 220 lbs) !
I have defeated MY injury.
Now, I want to defeat MY other limitations.
MY "genetics"? Bring it on…
What's up! I need this in my life because I have come to believe I am cursed with poor genetics in my lower body. I am a hard leg gainer. I have decent things going w/ upper body but my lower lags. I never see any of the internet cure guys ever talk about a cure for hard to develop legs. I know several guys at the gym terrified to wear shorts, and sadly, I am one of them. Your story resinates with me because you say you have felt this way and found a cure. Please help me believe. I am devoted to whatever understanding my old ideas haven't ever done. Which makes me a great candidate because I am desperate and I will listen. As if thats not enough 5 years ago I was partially paralyzed and spent three months in the hospital told I wouldn't have an athletic life again. Although I am completely recovered and cleared my 8 inch scar up my spine I am a little sensitive to show. If I had the total body I wouldn't feel the insecurities that all this time was spent worrying about how am I going to build powerful legs when I lost three years of training recovering and neglecting my lower because I couldn't put heavy loads at the time on my back. Help me believe. I love the stuff I have read so far and know I could put my faith in you. Thanks for reading
To me when you ask why I feel I deserve this the most, It is an easy response. April 13, 2003 It was my prom night and I was 17 so I had everything in front of me. But after getting in the car with my buddies who had been drinking, that all changed quick. As a passenger in the car crash I suffered many injuries broken back, collapsed lungs, broken femer, and a smashed trachia. On top of all that one of my friends did'nt make it. Due to the spinal cord injury I was left paralyzed from the chest down. But after about a year I began to regain function of my limbs.(because it was an incomplete spinal injury) The muscle atrophy was so severe I widdled down to 109 lbs. These days I work out regularly but only weigh 145ish lbs. I feel I would benefit from this immensly because I need change in my life nothing goes my way and I have nothing but determination. Because I still don't have the best use and strength in my legs and feet I have to work 10x harder than the average guy, but I still do it because I want, no I need to better to. With this gift maybe it would help me achieve what I am looking for. I am asking in the most sincerity please consider me for this It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Ever met someone who inspires you to bet better, give you the self belief you can be better? Over the years of my life I have met people who have inspired me to achieve the unimaginable – like getting a PhD, to run marathons, to ride my motor bike 2000km in a day and so on. Over the years, Ive been working hard on improving my mind and body – with mixed success. Learning to unlocking the secrets to maximising my muscle, will allow me to give back and help inspire others to be better and to help them feel the truth that physical fitness lies at the core of who we are and what were were placed on this planet to do.. to learn, grow, love and to give.
Vince, I must be honest with you, you're my inspiration, for years I was in the same shape, I'm tired of that!
Also here in Mexico it's very difficult to find a professional trainer like you, and since last year I'm paying a travel to Cancun, MX, a caribbean paradise, and I don't wanna be the classic skinny guy in the beach while the muscled ones take all the girls (jajaja),I wanna look like you, I wanna be your mexican version,I want all the looks on me and my work, I can be your best student, I promise, you'll never regret it!
Thanks for everything brother, thanks for your example, thanks for your words, for your blog, but especially, thanks for be the person I wanna be!
Greetings!

Hi Vince,
I already sent one message in two parts. I am intersted in wining a membership! It is not clear to me how to register my entry for that drawing.
Sincerely for health and well being
Dr Dorie Erickson, Ph.D.
Hello Vince,
My name is Nick and I am 16 years old. I've been watching all your videos on youtube for the past year to help my training and have been training seriously for over a year now. A better body has already changed my life in so many aspects, my social life, my work ethic, my faith and my everything. I have decided that I want to pursue a fitness related career and help others achieve the unimaginable. I've learned what dedication, self-sacrifice, hard work and genuine humility means. So I do not know if I deserve a better body, but if I had one better than the norm, I would put all my heart into helping others attain the body they desire too. Looking and feeling better than just the "average" is the greatest asset someone can achieve in life. It's called Confidence. With confidence there is courage and unbelievable things can be done with that.
P.S.Your fiance is beautiful and seems to care for you very much. Nice job
Part ii from Dr Erickson
I use some gym equipment at home as well as lots of hiking places here in the northwest. I take NO chemical drugs but do take supplements for keeping clean and healthy inside. I have no "medical conditions" whatsoever. Praise God. I worked out with you on your videos and feel great about that.
My husband of 54 years was a body builder starting out as the skinny but wiry kid with Charels Atlas to get his first 6 pack! He trained our 2 kids in weights as well. He helped me with exercises throughout the years to eleminate backaches due to preganancy and all through life. He went home to be with the Lord Oct 2007 at age 84.7. I am continuing his legacy to keep strong as long as I live and to be a challenge and encouragement to others on the path of life, taking a smile and a kind word along my travels to share with anyone I meet.
Sincerly for health, Dr Erickson Ph.D.
You are a great inspiration. There is nothing in life more beautiful than young love. You two are precious to see.
I am 79, female, a doctor of nutrition, I work out 3 days a week with a trainer for strength. I do 30 minutes cardio every day 6 of 7. I do all my own house work and home upkeep like painting , etc., and take care of my little acre. I work part time in my clinic. I love my small garden and consider it a major part of my health insurance plan.
I still fight the soft body that does not look "ripped" as you call it. I am already an inspiration to those I meet at the gym and on hiking in the Olympics Mountains. BUT I want to get rid of the softenss, look ripped and be an added challenge to all in my age category and even below. One police woman said to me at the gym, "You don't even look 60 much less 79!" Everyone says to me, "I hope when I am your age, I will be like you." But I am not satisfied. I want to go beyond.
Hello Vince, my name is Sangmin Son(aka Brian Son), and i am a student in New York, i have not been working out that long compared to my entire life, but since i started to workout which is like 3 years, i have been working out with my full intensity, listening to peoples advice, and reading many articles. and had inspired, and help other people to be fit. i have changed my major because i love what i was doing and thought that i could do this for my living. but recently i had hit a plateau for about 5 month. it wasnt that i was not working hard as i normally did, nor had slack(cheat) my meal plan. i was working out twice as hard(only weight training) and having hardcore all bodybuilding meals(not tasty) meals but my body wasnt just growing anymore. So i thought…. yeah maybe its because i am from a skinny family, and i even was blaming on my race(being asian). But when i saw your video it shocked me, how i was stupid to think that im blaming on my plateauing based on my genetics… i really want to be beyond norm because i know that i going to break my plateau which is beyond my thoughts for 5 month, and now i can make other people tell about the person who had helped me to break the plateau that i was having. and by being above the norm that i would continue my lifestyle studying my major and be a physician one day
Thank You for reading my long Essay-like message
Sangmin Son, New York
well to start i want to tell you about my self at 1 point i used to weigh 310 lbs for years i tried to loose weight and until recently i have succeeded. i am now at 205 lbs but before that i was always made fun off for being well basically fat. im sure you know where im coming from but from opposite sides of the spectrum since you used to be a skinny guy. i just think that with this (i know its not gonna happen over night) i will be able to look the way im supposed to look. im 6'4 by the way . right now im rather flabby from all the fat i lost there is a lot of exes skin i just know with maximize your muscle i will be able to fill in all that space with muscle and be respected and finally do away with what i used to be and focus and what i will become. because as one of my favorite quotes say "what you are now is what you have been doing and what you will be is what you do now"
Joe Huerta
Hey Vince
megha sandesh here. first of all pls forgive the informal of writing used.
let me make one thing clear. i dont have any problems with my money or anything of that sort.
but one thing i share in common with u is the desire to go beyond genetics in every aspect of life. and i've been pursuing this objective for 5 years now.
people said i couldn't get successful in life. but i have been more wuccessful tuan any of them. and i've done it all with a clear conscience . i've juat got a dream job which pays me way more than any of my detractors.
one of the last things left to do is looking great with a muscular body. i was obese when i started out and even though i have shed over 20 kilos of fat till now i haven't been able to build muscle.
and i work great when i have an assuring shoulder around me. so what better than having ur beefy shoulder telling me what to do?
Ok about me, 46 year young female wanting to chase the ultimate dream body. I have never been overweight, & nutrition and exercise has played a major part all of my life.
Rewind back at school, I was called 'match' hence the skinny arms, & I then started wear sweaters, even when the temperate was rising. I knew I had to take action, so I took up swimming as I desired to have physique of a swimmer. Unfortunately I did not achieve 'the look', however felt good whilst keeping fit.
Few years later, enter bodybuilding, I grabbed as many mags from the library absorbed as much information on how to build up an upper skinny body. Armed with a bench press and few hand weights, thinking I too could look like Corey Eveson or Monica Brant … NOT.
Furthemore, a gym memberships merry-go-round continued for years, sure I was getting fit and toned, but not looking sculptured and turning heads on the beach in a bikini.
This year I have stumbled on Turbulence Training and now your 6PackQuest, I feel confident as I am armed with information from video to layout, there's no stopping me especially with your strong-driven motivation shown on your videos.
Most importantly, in this stage in my life, besides creating 'the body beautiful', & being 100% dedicated, determined & having discipline, it will show my teenage boys they too can achieve a 'can do' attitude with a bit of hard work and persistence in life not just in their health & fitness. Besides I want my boys to proud when I am in my seventies & beyond and still be blessed with good health & be strong and flexiable & have a body of someone half my age. Hopefully they will instill these attributes into their children.
I’ve never ever had the confidence to take my top off. At school, i always wore baggy tops to make me look bigger than i was. But everyone knew how skinny i was. I was called a rake.
I’ve been going to the gym for two years and have had little improvement. I’m trying to do what i think is right and thought for a while it was probably a genetic problem and i’d never have bigger muscle.
But then i came across your stuff.
I’ve been reading all your emails and have grabbed what tips i could, and slowly i’ve been begining to see results.
Not only has your gym tips helped me, but so has your positive atttitude.
I believe now that my skinnyness isn’t a genetic problem. I see the way you were then and the way your are now and it’s given me the strength to keep at it. Your “nothing is impossible” attitude has helped keep me focused and has pushed me to set big goals to strive for.
And this is another opportunity you’ve given to help people like me all over the world.
I’m in dire need of “maximise your muscle” membership. That direct access will help me blow beyond my potential and achieve the results i’ve been wanting my whole life.
I want to be able to take my top off and be proud of whats underneith. I want it to give me the confidence to go after the “impossible” in everything i do. I want it to help attract the girl of my dreams and be something that me and her are proud of. I want it to turn heads around people i know and make them believe that I can achieve anything.
You’ve taught me to never give up.
Thanks Vince
One last thing. I am from Hoschton, GA, USA
Very small town!
Hey Vince,
Being better than the norm would not only be an amazing target to achieve, but is also something that I have always wanted. I could encourage many people that I know including my mom that reaching the "impossible" is indeed possible. My mom has some messed up shoulders and getting better is something she does not think is possible. If I were to prove to her that growing past my so-called genetics without using steroids, I could also prove that she too can reach the impossible.
Having an amazing body like yours has always been something unreachable in my mind and I believe reaching your level or beyond (isn't exactly easy, of course) would change my life. I would no longer have to be skeptical about reaching a goal, such as getting my college degree within two years (in the process, but very hard), getting rid of ALL my acne or getting that tan that I've always wanted. Your a huge inspiration to me, Vince, and I believe that if I could reach the "impossible" then I could be an inspiration to others as well.
This could go a long way. If only one person influences 5 people and those 5 people influence 5 others then there would be a huge amount of people reaching success. I believe reaching an amazing body would inspire me to reach success more than I have ever imagined before.
Thank you and God bless!
In High School I was an athlete, and kept myself in great shape. During wrestling season, I would cut weight, and even though didn't use the right methods, I kept my bodyfat really low. Playing football at 175, and wresting 154, required a lot of work.
After getting married, I was focused on taking care of my family, and making a living. I only worked out when I could, but never really got serious about living healthy, and taking care of my body.
Now I'm 50 years old, and have been working hard to be strong and healthy. But I still carry quite of bit of fat around my waist. I feel I'm stronger than I've ever been, my workouts are good, but want to be lean, and healthy for my family, and my life. If I could only lose the fat I carry around my waist, I would feel, and look better.
After reading your material, and watching your videos, You are proof the program works. I would love the opportunity to be living proof to others, that your program works. Thanks, Kevin
I am 57 years old in Wellington New Zealand but look younger than my years; my body does not fit that image. Somewhat overweight and on blood pressure tablets I do not move as easily as before. My quest if for fitness and better muscle tone. I go to a gym but need a plan and encouragement that you can offer.
Retirement approaches and also a change in work habits and see much older people than me doing so much in the community. I want to be able to help others too and see the increased fitness and strength I may gain as an important key to this role.
There are aspects of ourselves we cannot change, some are genetic and are a reflection of our parents – hair colour, skin and so on. However our Creator said we must love ourselves and then love our neighbours. This was not meant to be a selfish love but honour our bodies to enable them to serve others in the widest possible way. Health, and the spirit working with compassion and care is part of this.
Using your programme will therefore change my life, and I am certain the lives of other. Self-esteem is important throughout our lives, it gives us the ability to encourage others too either directly or indirectly and be a role model for them.
Hi Vince!
I can't imagine how you are going to read all these entries, but if you get around to mine, I'd like to share my story. For the past year I have become a runner. It may sound like something a lot of people have done, but I have had severe asthma since I was two. I have bounced around from prescription to prescription trying to get it under control. I played on many girl's soccer teams when I was in middle school, but always feel right into an asthma attack no matter how hard I tried.
Well, fast-forward to my 22 second birthday and here I am, running. What got me there? Strength training was number one because I became stronger (although I am still trying to do at least 2 pull ups), swimming, complete devotion, lots of uncomfortable runs, and will-power.
I am now signed up for my first Sprint Triathalon this summer 2010, and want you as my coach. I have followed you for sometime, but never had the opportunity to actually try your program. This would be a great a help because I can only do so much on my own. While I am totally ready to dive into anything, I am not sure I can do it without some kind of coaching. That's where you would come in.
I can see your program helping me, because for some reason I trust it, I trust you. Thank's for you time, and keep doing what you do, you have been a great inspiration to someone who couldn't run 1 mile and now runs 4 daily. You have just made something so clear to me, and that is …that my body need's to get stronger muscularly before it can become more economical. In other words, build the muscle, and help the lungs! When it comes to "taking you workout to the next level" you seem to get it right. Thank you again Vince.
On Microsoft Word, it said i had 248 words, but for some reason i wasn't able to post it all in one go, so i had to do it 2 times. Sorry
My father,having attended ranger school in the army,knows the benefits of exercise.He got a family gym membership to fix the problem.We rejoiced.We could all be slim/muscular.However,my dad only lost 3jean sizes.I tell him it’s because of diet,but he doesn’t believe me.I then went online to find secret dietary tips,such as eating5-6times a day.I incorporated these strategies on1/03/10and lost2.5inches in just 2months.Everyone started eating healthily.I was able to change my beloved family’s lives.My family members are back on track.I am not.I hit a plateau.My parents say that it’s normal.I will come out of it.But then,YOU,Vince,YOU told me something else!Plateaus are not normal and I must blast through my genetic potential to break it. I told my parents all of this,but they didn’t agree.They’re not letting me buy your program.They said it’s all a scam.I believe this is a god-sent.I will get that supreme body and show my parents,GENETICS DON'T MATTER!
My wishes for a better body stem from my childhood.Back then,I would tell my parents “I’m gonna be the strongest man on Earth!”Every time I said that,they tell me “do push-ups and pull-ups,” and I did.Those happy,everyday lives of mine came to an end when we moved out of Hawaii.We arrived in Virginia in 2001.A new century and a new home,they said.The change in environment was so sudden though;before we would spend extra hours in the nearby park,we now spent them on studies.I say “we” because I mean my sisters and me. Both my parents and younger sisters became obese.My
Hi Vinc I am Joshua, from Singapore. Well having a beautiful body is everyone’s dream I believe. To me, having a perfect body is more than just a dream. I was once fat and after loads and loads of training, I finally slim down. However, I found out that what I want isn’t just a slim figure, but a muscular figure. Many of my friends have a good figure with six packs and I feel jealous every time I look at their body. I want muscles too. I want a body much better than them.
This isn’t the only reason. The real reason is CONFIDENCE. I want confidence but with that tiny belly, I don’t have it. I went to the beach last week with my friends and all of them took of their shirts and played half-naked. I didn’t dare to take off mine as I do not have a body like theirs and I felt really embarrassed. I worked so hard to try and burn those fats and get packs on my stomach but it doesn’t seem too work. I want to be like my friends, being able to play in the beach so confidently with their almost perfect body.
Everyday I search online to search for supplements or training that would help me burn those fats off and gain packs, and finally my efforts paid off and I found your website. At first, I did not even thought of having a body better than the norm. In fact I just wanted a six pack abs body. I got your website through an e-mail from Arnel and from then on I started to read through your website and got really inspired to get a body better than the norm. I’d really like to get a body better than the norm so that I can prove to my friends that I can get a perfect body and that I will have the confidence to do the things I’d like to, play in the beach with my friends half-naked without having to feel embarrassed and more importantly, ask the girl I like out!
Why Do You Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
Because I am tired of being normal. Everyone is normal, or they are trying to be something they are not. Who’s wearing what, whats the next door neighbor driving, everyone keeping up with the Jones’. Everyone wants the magic pill to suddenly make them skinny or muscular or popular or famous. All I want is to look and be something greater than the guy who is dropping roids and claiming it’s “all natural”. I want to shame the guys who say “you” ( I ) will never look like this. I am 31 and past my prime by most peoples standards. I am of average health because I have to be. As a commercial diver in the gulf of mexico, I get a full physical every year. My weight is under constant scrutiny because fat boys can’t dive. Fat retains nitrogen making you more suceptible to the bends. That being said, I want more. I want to be the exception rather than the norm. If given the chance I know I could do so. You want a challege Vince? Work out a training regime for a guy who can’t always train like normal folks. Someone who is told not to work out due to the fact he could end up with the “bends”. Yes, if you work out while you are diving and decompressing in a chamber, you can damage muscles that have already been taxed and end up causing the bends. Endless days offshore and no time to do much. Give me something that will put me above the norm without crippling myself while I’m diving and you have done something. It’s easy to train someone with a “9 to 5″ job. What about the guy who leaves for months on end and is told not to work unless you want to get a case of decompression sickness. I work out with what I have when I can while I’m working. I use lots of body weight stuff because we can’t handle heavy weights when a dive boat is tossing about on the waves. I bust my ass when I am home to keep from turning into a digusting fat body. I watch my food intake and severly limit the bad stuff. All that being said, I am just plain sick and tired of being normal. I don’t want what someone else has. I want something that is all my own. Whether I win or not, it was worth a shot to throw my name in the pot. But I can gaurantee you that you will not find a challege greater than what I have to stay in shape while I do my job. And if you have, then they damn well deserve he free membership and you should give it to them. Give me a shot, I won’t make a fool out of you.
Hi Vince….I am a 23 Yrs old Fighter Pilot as a professional…Due to strenuous demands of fighter flying, 1 year back i was grounded due to lower backache…
Flying was my love and without it, life came to me as a standstill….But out of this darkness i got a hope…My physiotherapist pointed out that If i start conditioning my body (especially lower back area), I can get over with the backache and get back into cockpit…
Thanx to him…He had downloaded your many videos from internet and gave them to me…I followed them for 4 months and now…I am back in the cockpit again…And amazing thing is that my G-tolerance in Dog Fights has risen to a very high level….I ascribe this to you…
And now I am even more pumped up to go beyond average and staring the whole body workout for the Good of My Health and Profession, i love so dearly.. Thanxx
Hi Vince, first off you are a great source of motivation for me. You know, I am successfull in pretty much every aspect of my life despite obstacles that came my way. After years of hard work, I got an airline pilot licence and now work for the second largest airline in Canada as a pilot. It is a very rewarding feeling to accomplish something so not normal; to see the world from above, to feel the sun every day even when it's raining down there…
I have always wanted a muscular body. It's something that's always on my mind. In the last 8 months I was able to go from 148lbs to 166 lbs, and I am kinda stuck there right now. Already the look on my girlfriend's face has changed a lot when she sees me comming out of the shower, and I want that to continue and improve. I figure that if I put the same effort and dedication in bodybuilding as I do in my flying, there is no limit to what I can achieve. Keep up the excellent work.
P.S I'm sorry for my english, french is my first language.

Next, I am the youth pastor, college & career pastor, and young marrieds pastor at church, & I play in the band. Staying in shape and healthy keeps my mind and body active and alert to be able to meet the spiritual & emotional needs of the people at church. God has called me to do awesome things. The standards God has set and that I have set for myself are much higher than other people. I need to be able to help pull others up to higher levels of excellence, spiritually, mentally, and physically. Because of those higher standards set for myself, there are more demands placed on me, from running all over the place to get things done to staying up late to meet deadlines. Being physically fit would help keep my mind sharp and give my body energy to keep up. Steven Kennedy, Shreveport, LA
First of all, I work in a pump shop/machine shop. I lift & move extremely heavy parts around daily. I am also a volunteer firefighter. Both of those are very physically demanding jobs. I need to be in shape to be able to do my job & also so I don’t hurt myself. I am married with 3 children. I want to look good for my wife and impress her. And, I need to be in shape, so I can play with my kids. Children are extremely active and demand a lot of attention.
No matter what i've tried i've always been weaker than everyone else, and I'm sick of guys looking down on me. Plain and simple.
Hi Vince,
This is a great offer you have going and I would love to be a winner.
I am 48 and a full time dad who lost his job a year ago so things are tough at the moment.
Its been tough for me and my 8 year old and well I have let myself get out of shape and would love your course not only to get back in shape but for better health so I can be around for me son.
Thanks for the opportunity.

2 of 2 — So, first and foremost I want to show my kids what you can accomplish if you are willing to be dedicated and work hard. I have already lost the fat and now I want to put on the muscle. Second, is that at 42 years of age, I find myself single with 2 kids and back in the dating world (which after 14 years with the same woman, is a bit scary). Thus, I also have the selfish reason of wanting to look as good as possible as I literally start at least parts of my life over again. I have the confidence, the dedication and the work ethic. I now want the results to show my kids, my friends, my family, and anyone else who will look
. Thanks for listening and good luck with picking a winner.

1 of 2 — Hey Vince. For me, it is pretty simple. I want to continue to be an example for my kids of how critical a healthy lifestyle is and how if you put your mind to it, you can truly achieve anything. My wife and I divorced last year so I am a single dad, which has brought with it alot of new adjustments for everyone. The one constant I have had throughout this process has been my focus on my health and fitness. It has not only helped me mentally and emotionally to focus and get through a really difficult time, it has continued to help me transform my body to be stronger and healthier. My kids see this everyday and it is a habit I hope they will pick up. I have already lost about 40lbs of fat and gained about 10lbs of muscle over the last 3-4 years, but still been struggling with real muscle gain.
hi vince, im from peru and i’m 19. Well, when I was a child I was very fat and it always made me feel bad and sometimes less than others. So four years ago I decided to start lifting weights and going to the gym but I didn’t now how to do it right and the result was I bulked but didn’t get ripped or muscular, I got bigger but fat is still there I’d like to know how to burn it. My friends and family tell me that´s because genetics, but I’ve read your blog where you say that genetics are not excuse for getting a ripped and muscular body, it has become a dream for me to get that perfect body and i’d fell great if I’d get the membership, I’ve been saving money but in my family its hard because we havn’t as much as we wanted and my parents , as i mentioned before, tell me that i wont get the body i want because of genetics and they say that speding more money trying about it woluld be a waist of time. I hope i could win the membership and make my dream real. Thanks for your time.
Vince – I am a 50 year old HIV+ male with mobility impairment BUT I AM A BODYBUILDER first and foremeost. For all those who have challenges and feel they cannot do it, or can not find the inner strength to push forward, I would like to show them it IS possible. All it takes is a belief in yourself, dedication to your goals and hard work! Oh yes, and lots of protein!

What is normal anyway. It seems nowadays normal is obese or at least overweight. Who would want to be normal if that is how it is defined in todays society.
I don't only NOT want to be 'normal' I want to be better than the best i can imagine myself to be.
I hold myself to a higher standard than just being better than normal.
I'm not always sure how to get there and if what I am doing is enough (which it clearly isn't as I am not there yet) but i continue to strive to my standard of excellent, which is looking like a female fitness cover model ,and having below 12% body fat. At age 43 is it achievable? I'll let you know when I get there as i will not give up trying. Thanks for the opportunity to win your program to help in my quest and i wish you and your family a Great Easter. Take care.
I never believed in the law of attraction until now. Last night, I asked for a new body. I never check my email during the weekend but today something just drove me to hit that Send/Receive button in my inbox.
My first email was this competition that was emailed to me by a friend from whom I had not heard from in a long time. I immediately called that friend and asked her to tell me why she sent me that email. She said it was by mistake. She wanted to send it to another friend who loves to train with weights and even apologized to me for sending it.
I am now certain that this is the program that will change my body and the body of everyone that tries it. As you can see it was not luck that drove me to this program. Far too many strange events took place for it to be a coincidence.
This is the program that we have all been waiting for to change our bodies. If you are like me, you will have tried numerous body-transformation programs only to get zero results. You may have experienced some great results in the beginning only to plateau in the end. The end result to give up in frustration – and back to a body worse than you had before. I want a new body because it is the foundation of achieving flow in my life. Without a nice and healthy body it is impossible to balance my heart, soul and mind. I am not confident to ask anyone on a date because I am overweight. I do not like to go out often in public because I am ashamed of my weight. Is this just me? Does this happen to you also? If so, I am confident that we are in the right place.
The Law of Attraction has identified MYM as the program that will change the life of everyone that signs up for it!!!
Hi Vince
A better more defined body would make me feel stronger,healthier and sexier.I would feel so much better in my clothes and this would give me so much more confidence.
Wendy Jackson,Melbourne Australia
Vince, I’ve had this BURNING DESIRE since I was a chubby little kid to be that guy with a really nice body that makes girls turn around. Not just for that, but to make people reflect, and think about what they have been doing with their life. When people see you Vince, they know you spent countless hours in the gym, and that tells a lot about you. It shows dedication, commitment, discipline, and hard work without saying a word. A strong body also symbolizes a warrior and leader. I know I have those qualities but my body doesn’t completely reflect my strong personality. My family and friends would see me as a pillar of strength, someone they can count on for help at anything, because all the ingredients needed to reach a great body, are the same as those to have a great life. Living and learning this would allow me to help others to the best of my ability. I am willing to do whatever it takes, to transform my body and prove to the world and myself that you can make it; you can achieve your dream body. I will eventually get to my goals and I know your program can get me there.
Daniel Garcia, San Diego California
I think having a better body will change my life by giving me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone, allowing me to help more people. When others see the possibility of change through my example, they will be more willing to step out of their own comfort zone and make positive changes in their lives as well.
I believe looking and feeling better than the average person is important because it will help give me the credibility I need to inspire others. Looking and feeling better will be a result of doing something positive for my body. This will give me the energy and vitality I need to benefit others.
In your video, you said it is important to surround yourself with like-minded people. Like you and Dr.K, I am a compassionate person. My desire is to use my compassion to help inspire others, much like you and Dr. K have inspired me. I believe by using your program and the knowledge Dr. K is providing, I , too, can make a dramatic impact in the lives of others. It would be an honor and a privilege to be associated with 2 of the most caring individuals in the health care and fitness industry.

I've been a fitness fanatic since i can remember and became a personal trainer to keep my fitness cravings in check. Problem is i'm a skinny guy, i mean i've got muscle mass but no where near the amount i need for people to believe what i'm telling them when it comes to gaining muscle. I always said i wanted to get my body where i wanted it to be before i became a personal trainer so people could see that i know what i'm talking about. I bought no nonsense muscle building about six months ago for this reason and put on 5kg in my first two weeks, being a uni student though i found it really hard to stay on top of my food budget. So i thought i would make it so that would no longer be an excuse and i've started saving money for my meal plan when the uni break comes around, it will be 5 months dedicated to muscle building, cannot wait.
Also i play Australian rules football which involves running around 8-9km a game with sprints, tackles, agility balance and coordination all a major part. I purchased TACFIT Commando for this reason when it was released and have been completing my missions and found awesome gains in my functional fitness which is really what i'm about, thats why i really see something special in your maximise your muscle program. It incorporates everything and more that i want in a program. It will not only help me in the gym with inspiring my clients but on the Football field where i coach, play and strive to inspire my younger players to become their physical best so they're ready for what the game throws at them.

Hi, Vince,
My name is Mladen Malicevic, I'm 2o and I come from Serbia!
I want to look like something greater than the norm for two reasons.
This is the first one: one day I hope to be a father and I want my children to have good role model!
Three years ago, my friend convinced me to join gym and the first few months were horrible. I was so weak I could barely do military press with 20 pounds. I have never trained any sports and I have always been one of the weakest kids in my class (I know it sounds trashy, but it's true)! Now I do military press with 110 pounds and i went from 145 pounds to 195 pounds!
However, I have reached the plateau couple of months ago and I was also thinking (reason number two), if i could get a little bigger with your program, i could convince my father to start working out with me! I always had a great relationship with my father, he's a good man, but he was never a good example of healthy lifestyle! He is a chain smoker, he eats trashy foods and when he is out of work he does nothing but watching TV! Minor surgical procedure made him even less mobile. he completely recovered, but now he even refuses to ride a bike! If I could get bigger, I would probably inspire him to work out and loose that belly fat of his!
alright vince i am 8 stone and ive been going to the gym for about 7 mths and have only gained 4 pounds ive brought mags and supplement to try and put weight on so i can have a body to be prod of but at the moment nothing has worked. i come a cross your site a week ago and have learnd that you can go beyond the inposable. i want to go beyond the inposable my self by doing this my conferdence will grow as i grow so i wont be a skiny shy man any more.
"The true loss in human life is the difference between the possible and the achieved result"
and
"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans – that the moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in ones favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
I grow up with these quotes. I believe in the fact which I must exhaust my abilities, because I have not got these abilities free of charge, these abilities serve a bigger aim.
I do not run my business for the money I make. I dont workout for the respect i get from all those girls and guys. I make that all to find the answer – to find my own chances. The door to exhaust those abilities i have got.
PS sorry for my english

hey,
im turning fifteen in the summer and am one of the smaller guys in the grade. my doctor tells me im on the
"normal" growing line. being small makes it an easy target for someone bigger to say " hey, lets pick on this kid" now we all know this comes from guys who like to feel bigger then others. luckily i have a good group of friends and doesnt get picked on. the MMA skills help also. my point is that i want to stop being the smaller kid and stun everyone by becoming bigger and breaking my "plateau". i want to show everyone that its okay to be to be more then normal.
thanks

At 52, being in the best shape of your life is just not the norm. Fighting excess weight has been an ongoing battle all my life. Up to 60 lbs. over just six years ago. I am now within 15 lbs of my target and ready to make the final push to hit it.
Also, I'm working at making a living on the internet and I just don't believe in offering products for health and fitness without being able to use yourself as the best example.
This is my visualization :
While speaking at a seminar in the near future I plan on taking off my jacket to let people see and be inspired by my practicing what I preach. As you have shown, this is the best form of credibility.
I want them to look at me and BELIEVE that they can do anything they set their minds to. I want them to KNOW that if I can do these things at my age, so can they, at any age.
This is my motivation for myself to push me on to greater achievements. I can then use it as an example for others, to push beyond what's normal, to be the best at whatever they want to be.
During high school, i learned two major lessons from my coach/mentor. They were: 1) good is the enemy of best and 2) effective people have to prioritize 5 or 6 things they want to be great at. These words have stuck with me ever since then and have applied to my life ever since. The reason that i need this program is that to be the best you have to learn from the best. This means going out and getting a hold of the best information you can find. This means listening and putting in those workouts when everyone else is sitting around getter fatter. This means going above and beyond the superficial motives of working out to just look good to get girls, and working out for your own health, your own fitness, and your own desires. All these things apply to every aspect of my life.
In life no one remembers the normal people. All that we remember are those that are great, those that made a difference, and those people knew what it took to be great. They knew to prioritize and to cut out the good so they could be the best.
Me only in transforming my body, everyone else in being able to do the impossible, and seeing the changed lives they can have too. Thank you for working with me on all of this. May the most deserving person(s) win this. I pray that i can be one of them. If i cant, i know that whoever that wins this will be very fotunate. Maybe they will use this for good also. God bless and thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Eric Lee Oswalt- Montgomery Alabama
(sorry i had to break this up into so many parts, this thing said my comment was a little too long)
I am alot like you. I would love to win this because i know what i could do if i had the opportunity to use a product like yours. The bopdy would be great, but valuable help for my family would be invaluable to me. I would want nothing more than to buy my twin sister a new pancreas, or get her a new kidney, or buy my wife a new set of teeth that she wants because of all the jackholes that have treated her so bad. This isnt meant to be a sob story. Im sorry sorry if thats what it is turning out to be. But Vince, i know that this product and you working with me on it would change my life forever. Not only would it be useful to me, but also to those i mentor at my church. A number of them are athletes of some sort or another. They like me are small in stature, but huge in heart. I want to help them get what they want, and be what they want to be. In short, i want to do this for mostly everybody but me.
Hey Vince,
Last summer, a group of friends and I planned a beach trip. We were all 18, had just graduated high school, and wanted a last hoorah before we all went our separate ways in Fall.
On August 9th, the day before we left, my father informed me I wasn't going to be joining my friends on the trip. The next morning, I awoke to a panic stricken voice of one my friends mother's franticly telling me the car I was supposed to be traveling in had crashed and four of the five passengers died.
The inexplainable grief I felt was supplemented by the feeling that I should've been with them. If it weren't for the guardian angel that is my father, I'd have shared the same fate.
To cope with the tragedy, I worked out harder than ever using NNMB. Since then, I learned life is far too short to not be the BEST, to not blow BEYOND my genetic potential, to look for the right person RATHER than become the right person, to be alright with the NORM.
MYM is the key to opening all of said doors. NNMB and your newsletters acted as a beacon of light in a dark time. Everyday that I'm alive is a gift and developing myself physically, spiritually, and personally will make everyday that much sweeter. Becoming the BEST person I can be will help me honor the memory of my friend's and become the person they knew I could be.
Thanks for this opportunity,
Nick Green

Well i, like you, did not believe that but it was hard to want to beleive that too. The thing that gave me hope was wanting to prove everone WRONG. Doing what they said was impossible. Vince i have been lifting weights for 15+ years and have NEVER seen the results i did when i tried your techniques(naturally that is). Yes i did try Andro when i was in the Army but all that did was make me a mean selfish sack of a man. You gave me hope. Seeing what you have done, i beleive i can do that too. Not just physically, but financially for my family too. You showed me that i dont have to be stuck in my genetic tailspin forever; that i can break it and go beyond it. That is what kind of heart i have. I have a desire to NEVER GIVE UP.
Well Vince, I like yourself grew up a skinny, desperate boy who grew up in a broken home with two alcoholic parents who were very abusive mentally and physically. I can still see the scars from being kicked in the face and chest from my father and being pounded in the head repeatedly by school and even more embarrasing getting beat up by own twin sister. Well i got sick of it. But like many i was told i was a loser and a nobody and i could NEVER get bigger because God doesnt love losers and i was destined to be skinny and poor for the rest of my life.
Awesome stuff Vince!
Just watching a few of your videos up on your youtube page, tons of great info!

In early October I watched a bodybuilding competition. I was amazed at the discipline and dedication it must have taken the competitors to get into that kind of shape. I made the decision that after I completed a marathon, my next challenge would be competing in a bodybuilding competition. My bodybuilding journey began October 20th, 2008. I am definitely a work in progress. I have no doubt that with my drive and determination I will be able to achieve all my healthy lifestyle goals and push past any limitations whether they be genetic or imposed by somebody else doubting what I can acheive.
I’d like to leave you with a couple quotes:
“If you don’t know where you’re going you’ll end up someplace else.” Yogi Berra
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” Confucius
I knew where I was going when I started on my journey to good health. It all began with that first step of changing my lifestyle. If you don’t already have one, I encourage you to make a specific plan for yourself. Take that first step to achieving a healthy lifestyle.
Train hard and live well,
Kirk White
Hi Vince,
Here is my story: For the last 6 years I am away from my family… I left my home country to achieve my dream – become a dancer. I was so happy when I recieved my MA in Dance Performance but few weeks later I realized I need to achieve more! Now my goal is to make a dance show. I want to do it because I want to make people happy, give them time to enjoy themselves and relax without thinking about their everyday problems and stress. I also want to do it because I want to prove to myself, my family and friends that I can do it. A lot of people around me think I am a dreamer, a fool that doesn't have a "proper job" and is just dreaming of being a dancer. But I am not a dreamer!
You are probably asking how can MYM help me achieve this goal? Well, I am pretty skinny. When I workout I am able to gain weight but for a full-time dancer it is very hard to go beyond a certain point. I feel like I have hit the wall and can't get bigger any more. That's why I decided to quit my job (salsa fitnes instructor) to cut off the additional cardio. I believe in my dancing skills. And with your help Vince, I will also have the confidence to go for my dream too. I want to look beyond the norm because on stage, when dancing for people, it will make a huge difference in the way I perform. If I can achieve my goals in the gym, I can achieve my dance goal and other goals in my life too! It is not only about the muscles… It is also about the discipline, lifestyle, focus, mindset.
Once someone told me: "If you think you CAN, you are right. And if you think you CAN NOT you are also right"
Let me tell you… I think I CAN. And I will take action to achieve it! It would be great to have your support. If I achieve my goals I will be able to push many others around me to change their mindset and lifes too. I want them to believe they CAN as well.
Thanks for reading my personal message, I hope it wasnt too long
Say "hi" to Flavia, wishing you all the best in your marriage!

Sorry I have alot to say
I remember shopping for pants to wear to her funeral. I had to buy a size 46 waist and suddenly it hit me; you are going to die early if you don’t get your act together. I was overweight, had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I have a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters. I needed to get healthy so I could spend as much time with them as possible. In June, I made the commitment to get healthy. I got my diet under control by joining Weight Watchers. My first weigh-in was not pretty, as my initial weight was 286 pounds. By following their program, the weight started coming off, but I knew diet alone wasn’t the answer.
I started walking in the mornings before I went to work and the walking eventually turned to running. By January my weight had dropped to 204 pounds. That’s when I joined a gym and started working out the following day. I saw quickly how weight training was improving my running. I made the decision to run a marathon in memory of my mom. I achieved that goal by completing the Waddell and Reed Kansas City Marathon on October 18, 2008.
Vince,
Here's the story of how I got to where I'm at. I feel I've made the most with what the good Lord has given me thus far. However, if this program is as good as you say it is, I truely feel it could take me to new heights. It's amazing how new found success in my fitness life has branched out and helped me grow spiritually, intellectually and develope stronger relationships with others. There are several facets to being a complete individual and I want to be the total package. Vince, I will make you this promise, if you reward me with one of the copies. I will work my ass off to blow my poor genetics out of the water.
My Brother’s voice was shaky on the other end of the phone that cold March afternoon as he informed me they were taking our Mom to the hospital. We were driving to Wichita, not knowing for sure what had happened to her. We got a call from my Dad letting us know Mom had died. We discovered later, her death was caused due to complications from type II diabetes. She died just 13 days after her 60th birthday.
"The true loss in human life is the difference between the possible and the achieved result."
and
"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans – that the moment one definitely commits oneself then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would not otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in ones favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."
I grow up with these two quotes. I think in the fact that I must exhaust those abilities which I have got. I have not got this free of charge, because these abilities serve a bigger aim.
I dont run my business for the money i make, i dont workout for respect i get from all the girl and guys. I make that all to find the answer. The answer of the secret of my own chances – the door to exhaust those abilities i have got.
PS Sorry for my english!
Daniel

Hi Vince,
My name is Amit Sidhwani, 27 year old, Male, from Udaipur, Rajasthan, India.
First of all, Congrats to you and Flavia for your upcoming marriage !!!!
Well, let me give you a brief introduction of my health history before I cite the reasons why I want to gain more muscles and go beyond, not reach but go beyond my genetic potential. I have been obese since my childhood. At the age of 21, when I could not find any decent clothes of my size in the whole city, my waistline was 44 inches at that time weighing 117 kgs, I decided the very same day that in next 12 months I have to achieve waistline of 32 inches. And in next 10 months, I reduced 45 kgs n 12 inches of waistline without any gym or trainer but purely by reading health journals, through regular jogging and low carb diet. The results were amazing as I reached my goal before deadline but I wanted more as I lost weight but I looked like a lethargic patient.
I managed to keep the same weight by following same routine of low carb diet and slow and steady cardio for next 5 years. As I didn’t changed the program, the results were bound to be the same, and I continued with that pale look without any trace of muscle on my body !!! But lately, from last 6 months, I have been following MIKE Geary’s 6 Pack Abs program along with tips from your blog and I have seen some terrific results. I dropped my body fat from 17% to 6.6 % in last 3 -4 months and build some muscles along with appearance of few sexy nerves and veins on my forehead and hand.
Now, to answer your question, I have solid three reasons why I want to gain more power packed muscles.
Firstly and most importantly, Three months back, I left a very well paid job and started pursuing my dream of becoming a successful Model and Actor, as I feel one must do what he wants to do, rather than what he is suppose to do. So it is very important for me to have muscles of full potential and to have a great body to secure great success in my career, and its not only to do well professionally but also to set an example for people associated with me to prove them that we humans have potential to achieve what we think as I will be, by sporting ripped and muscle packed body and reaching great heights in my career. I would like to be a radical transformation which can uplift the spirits of people I love so that they also start pursuing their dreams, involve themselves in what they love to do and stop doing what they are suppose to do in order to attain eternal bliss, as I am on cloud nine 24 X 7 since I am pursuing my dream of life !!!!
Secondly, I just love to be physically fit as I truly believe healthy body leads to healthy mind. I feel if I am physically fit, I can perform stupendously in my personal, professional and spiritual life as all these three spheres of life involves physical labor in one form or other. So its very vital for me to be ultra fit with more muscles to excel in all three spheres of life !!!!
Thirdly and finally, I really feel fantabulous when a girl or lady gives me a compliment on my body. Its one of the motivation which keeps me striving. Yes, I want to go beyond my genetic potential and be an owner of sexiest body around with hard steel muscles as I love to attract girls and would like to continue to have their compliments and appreciation on my body !!!!
Cheers,
Amit Sidhwani
Why do I want to look like something GREATER than the norm? Well i have 3 simple reasons why:
1. I want to go beyond what the doctors say is possible for me!!
2. I want to look and feel my absolute best at all times and I look and feel good but Im not the BEST i possibly could be!
3. The biggest reason is to bring my confidence level up that much more!
My 3 reasons Why I Want to look like something GREATER than the norm.
One can achieve change by commitment, discipline, and motivation into getting the body you always wanted. It will change my life because I wont have to be ashamed of who I am and be ashamed of my appearance. In the process you make yourself more confident, healthier, and you even feel better about your person. Deserving a better body comes with sacrifice and dedication. Such as, eating healthier foods that will benefit your body. It also takes dedication in order to get the body of your dreams. Is like you have to walk the walk before you can talk to talk. Maintaining your new physical appearance with hard honest work and not be desperate by wanting a perfect body by using useless supplements and steroids. What makes it important is feeling healthy, secure, it tells that you and everyone else that you can accomplish anything if you set your mind to it. sometimes in life if you want something greater you have to push yourself into believing that you can do it.
I am getting ready to have some major surgery next week that is going to pay me up for a while (several months). I have been wanting to get in better shape and this is going to set me back. I would love to be able to use your fantastic system to get back in super shape once I am ready to rock and roll! Being able to maximize my muscles (mentally and phsyically) would be a great help in getting me back to health and being in the best shape of my life! Thank you for this chance Vince!
I hope over the summer I can change myself not only physiacaly but mentally too. i don't want this to just have a hot body or fit in with the kids at school, cause I don't need to, beacuse they like me for me, the problem is… I don't. I want this beacuse I want to feel good about myself, to feel confident as I know others do. Make new friends an keep the old ones.
The comments that I have read have inpired me to write to you, and you have inspired me to become better. I am ready to work hard, and blow way past my genetic potential. If I don't get this membership, that's ok, I can follow you on youtube.
For anyone who reads this comment, I wish nothing but the best for you.
Thanks Vince for this opportunity, and i hope I get this membership.
AS A CHILD I GREW UP ON VERY LITTLE. Born in a small village in Albania, where electricity and water and other basic needs were impossible to attain, i soon would make it my mission to provide my family with a better life. My family was fortunate enough to get visa's for the family and move to the U.S. for a better life. My parents struggled to support my brother and I, working odd jobs just to get by. Observing my parents struggle, I thought of ways in which I could help them. However, I soon realized to help my parents, I would first need to better my self, then i could focus on my family. So I began my quest, I began to focus on school, spending hours upon hours a night learning the language, and absorbing all the knowledge I could. After I conquered my mission, i still felt that I needed to improve upon myself.
So, i began my journey of improving another aspect of my life, my health. I began doing Tae-kwon-do, where I learned to be even more focused in life. After 4 years of training, I achieved my 3rd degree black belt and won several competitions. However, I still was not satisfied. So I turned to lifting weights. I was on a mission to be better myself. Now on my second year of bodybuilding, I need help with my future plans. Now I want to turn bodybuilding in to something more. I want my body to be idealized by the world. I want to use my body as a gateway to support my family. And with your help, I KNOW I can achieve anything.
Hi Vince,
Up until about 8 years ago I was at least partially fit and I guess looked OK. The job I was involved in did require a reasonable amount of physical effort as well as some brain power.
Since those days: (1) There has been an age gain (2) Some extra weight gain (3) a reduction in personal fitness. Interestingly as I now attend a local Gym,it is more of a focus on weight loss, which is "sort of working"–Now you have made this offer to gain a body above the Norm, this seems to me to be the right time to "Give it my best shot" Who Knows it well inspire others whom I am invoved with to do similar things for themselves. After all if you do not help yourself, Who Will??
regards Peter New Zealand
I have the desire to LOOK better than the norm, because in being so, I will also FEEL better than the norm, BE better than the norm, EXECUTE better than the norm, all of which will enable me to HELP the "norms" near me to also, not only LOOK better than the norm, but also BECOME better than the norm. Same as Vinve, its not only BEING better than the norm at what he does, but also HELPING the "norms" out. Thanks for all the help Vince, Ryan
A better body will not change my life. A better body will be a result of me changing my life and my mindset. It will be a physical manifestation of my thoughts for a better body.
The reason why it is important for me to look and feel better than just "average" is because it means I have taken responsibility for my physical health and created a healthy body. It means I have to refused to just let life happen to me and just passively go through my life wondering why things aren't better for me. A better body means that I refuse to be a victim of circumstance and become a creator of greatness.
A better body means that I will have started loving myself again by refusing to abuse it and instead nurturing it and making it grow. Most of all a better body means me refusing to give up on myself and my goals. It means breaking through all obstacles on my path to my goals and refusing to settle for anything less.

Growing up my mother tried to take care of her little boy by giving him peanut butter and jelly wonder bread sandwiches stuffed with a banana and M&Ms because she just loved her little boy. She loved him so much in fact she bought him vitamin fortified cereals and made sure he got all his servings of fruit in the form of the freezer sections famous frozen canned juice concentrate. And to really prove the love she'd allow her little boy to choose any treat he could get his hands on because all his nutritional bases have been covered. Unfortunately, I was that 'little' boy. In 5th grade I clocked n at 150 lbs. And of course the lack of confidence to hold my love handles up left them sagging over my athletic shorts from all the weight of constant self-defeat. My mother tried, in an attempt to make her 'little' boy feel better, assured him that all his uncles were 'big boned'. So little league base ball came around in my life and every season each coach would corner me, put his hand on my shoulder, and ask, "do you have asthma?" Consider I had just run a to first base during practice. After having girls dared to talk to me and play flirt with me, becoming popular in middle school through the alias 'Twinky', and finally hitting the 200lb mark in 8th grade…I decided it was time for a change. I was tired of being a loser to myself, tired of letting myself get in the way of what I wanted out of life, tired of crying myself to sleep at night, tired of letting life happen around me. So my freshmen year of high school I was fed up completely. So I idiotically started eating 1000 calories a day. I dropped down to 140 lbs. Most who recognized me by name(since my physical appearence was completely different) would take a double take after roll call during class and approach me and ask if I was sick, depressed, or started to become anorexic. A popular remark would be, "wow i can really see your cheek bones now!" I also played JV football at the time since in middle school I was told I was too heavy to play…so I took advantage of finally being able to play. Again I was disappointed seeing as how I was being pushed around by all the track athletes who also played JV football just to stay busy. I was sick of this as well. So to make a long story short I educated myself in nutrition and fitness and gained twenty lbs of muscle…well…and a little fat. I got a hell lot stronger. I ended up wrestling my senior year and got up to regional competition my first, and last, year. I now coach and am a sort of a 'legend' for being a natural at the sport. Now, I inspire skinny-fat kids, fat kids, former fat boys, and everyone else to achieve through awakening self-drive in my athletes. Nutrition and fitness has taken me to a miserable little shit to a teacher who now walks athletes down the path of self-motivation to be ever better day after day. I WANT the free 12 month membership of Maximize Your Muscle so I may enter the upcoming season bigger and stronger with a new insight, and new set of tools, to inspire my athletes to grow physically, and mentally, BEYOND anything they could dream up for themselves.
Hi Vince, I want to better myself in ways beyond amaginable. I feel life is about more than lifting, its about achieving goals and, being one with those around you. Telling others to do better is not how they will get better. Show them its possible and they will believe it to be true. I want my family to see the message in me that ANYTHING really is possible. They can see change in me day by day through your program and they will feel like they can fly like i will in your program.
Hey, vince
I've read a lot of the comments on the site, and I think that a lot of people have me beat when it comes to answering your question, but I'm gonna try any way. I'm not writing this to you so you'll feel sorry for me, and I'm not writing some sad story about my life, that would take to long and I know your a busy guy, so I'll try to make this as short as possible.
I am a 16 year old sophmore in high school who will soon be a junior on August 23, my tenth grade year ends June 3rd. I am a middle class citizen, with a mom who works two jobs with no father around, and i've learned to live with it. I hope to get a job over the summer to earn some money and help out more, and I am working hard to earn a scholarship for college. I am a 3 year martial artist, and I workout in the
gym in my appartment complex, but not as much as I should, I hope to become an actor and i that doesn't work, a famous comic book artist, like Stan Lee.
(end of part one)
I would like to look greater than the norm, because I believe at this stage in my life it's going to help me live more healthily, laugh more and love longer. A better body will change my life, because for the last 15 years I have been caught up in a cycle where I didn't care very much about myself, how I looked, or how I felt. That has changed in the last two years, but my energy level is not optimal and I am not gaining what I really want. I believed taht this was the way things just are , and what I've done to date is the best I can do and what I can reasonably achieve.
Your program is having me rethink that idea. Perhaps I don't have to settle for the achievment I've made so far. I deserve more than that. My children deserve a better example of what can be done and something to aspire to . My spouse would be amazed and it would give us a new touchstone and closeness to share.
It is important to me to look and feel better than average, because I want to be better than average. I want to have energy reserves to deal with my life and work and I want to look jaw-droppingly outstanding in a healthy and vital way.
Hi Vince,
Why do I want to look like something GREATER than the norm?
The reasons why I want to look better than the norm are many. Some of these are the usual, attract women, self confidence, etc.
The much more important reason is although I am almost 67, I look fully clothed to be in my late forties to early fifties. But my body and stamina has come of age, more fat then muscle and over weight.
Although I have tried to maintain a healthy and muscular body over the years I seem to be losing the battle with the old “tried and true ways”.
I want to look much GREATER than the norm for my age.
Not only will I look better but I will definitely feel better and best of all be a much healthier person.
Keep up the great job.
I want a body better than the norm because my success will only inspire and ensure others that such goal is attainable. Due to both laziness and medical reasons, I ballooned up to 199-200lbs early this yr.. I am only 5ft 5" so that is not a good look. I vowed that I must make a change and loose about 70lbs by the end of the yr. I enjoy strength training and feel like I have a ton of muscle hidden by layers of fat. My dream is to not only shed all the weight and look great but to become a fitness model someday. A great body will go a long way in helping me achieve this dream. Thanks a lot for your newsletters !!
Vince,
My reason for wanting to be better than the norm is several fold.First of all I am in the healthcare field and deal with people every day that are below the norm so I would like to be an inspiration to my patients to be healthier.I also have 2 kids ages 11 and 9 that really look up to their father and if I was above the norm I would really be teaching them to strive for excellence and don't just settle for being average.Those are the 2 main reasons why I would want to be above the norm
Hey this is Dave from Kentucky. I think you should award me with the Maximize Your Muscle membership for two very important reasons. First my family deserves a husband and father who is in the best shape of their life. I’ll be turning thirty in September and we are having third child in September also. I wake up at 4:00 am to hit the gym before work so when I go home I can be dad. I need this program to help me become the strong and fit dad that every child looks up to. Secondly I am a volunteer firefighter in my community and also at my place of work in a refinery. When called into duty you’re the line of duty your body is forced pushed to the limits from all the protective gear required for the job. This program will help me to become the cut up and ripped fireman that everybody wants to be. This will benefit my community in having a firefighter that can go the distance when called into duty. By completing this program it will also help me in my preparation to prepare a team to enter the Firefighter Combat Challenge. I want to be the fireman who leads his team to victory. I have just completed Lee Hayward’s 20 rep squat program, and now I’m ready for the next challenge. By winning this program it will boost my life and confidence as a husband, a dad, and a fireman.
Hi Vince, I live in El Salvador. I have been working to get into shape for the last year. I am now down to 23% body fat and would like to have a better than average body. I am healthy, but I need more muscle to have a better than average body. I am the mother of 3 boys and strive to be an example to them. After many years of raising my family I now have the time to invest in myself and have a strong, lean body. I know that even at 42 years old I can show so many others that being strong is a good thing. It is important to me to maintain a balanced, lean, strong body and not just be content with an "average body". I want to keep my fitness for MANY years to come and I believe that just being average will just not do. I want more.
Vince bro i can not begin to tell you what a great insperation you are for me i was about a couple of feet from getting a divorce i was fat and ugly !!! when i got with my wife 16 years ago i was a good looking boy and i don't know what happen but i just let my self go , i start it to drink smoke no diet and went from 32 to a size 40 that was with my belly hanging out ! dude it was bad !!! and one day i just got over my self and decide it to go back and being my old self and there i went starting working out and the funny thing about it all is that i found videos of you and you're site and all of the free stuff that you give out and that just that is working out for me just you're advise !!!! that's it i never purchase anything from you just you're advise and i'm back to a size 32 pants and my body is just so great i get comment on it and the best thing is that my wife gets comments from her friends about me and in top of it all i feel great !!!! i just want it to say thank you !!!! Vince !!!!!!! thank you !!!!!! I am not typing these to win the free thing you got going on !!!! is just that i need it to say thanks !!!! keep up the good work
Vince,
It's pretty simple, I have always been smaller, always been told that its just my genetics or body type. For the most part I have believed them. Lately I have followed some of your stuff and seen pretty good results, which has just fed my desire to do more. I now believe with all my heart that I can finally get the body i have always wanted(thanks by the way). In some strange way this has affected many other things in my life as well, its just confidence feeding on itself. Its amazing to see how that spreads to other areas of your life. Secondly, my wife is about to give birth to our third child and I think the example I have been setting and the results I get will be truly inspirational to her getting her body back into the best shape in years. I truly think that i deserve an exceptional body and the person I become in developing that body, will be the true reward. The looks are secondary the character and discipline I develop are the real benefit. This is just the beginning of many great things. Thanks for your messages.
There are two main reasons for me entering your competition.
The first is because throughout school I always had a low-grade physical presence. I always worked my ass off with press ups, sit ups and pull ups, and as soon as I got a gym membership I’ve been going three times a week. Still though, the genetics are holding me back. At school, my scrawny frame plus my nerdy tendencies led to me being picked on like hell. Just about everyone that was older or bigger than me made sure I knew it. (I’m not looking for your sympathy here I just want to give you an insight into my motivation).
Using your program I know that with work, I could turn the heads of my ‘fellow classmates’ and make them regret the taunting.
The second, and what I feel is the more important reason, is my obsession with rugby. Ever since I started three years ago I’ve played three times a week. honing my skills and working on my fitness. Now, as I’m just a few months from going to university in Glasgow, skills alone are just not going to cut it. I’m not going to lie here, I want to go all the way. I want to hit the big-time and I believe if I can get bigger, faster and stronger then I will.
I hope you understand that I’m more than motivated but I need your help and this program to get where I want to go.
Vince, I am going to be 45 yrs. old ina couple of months and I had gastric bympass 3 yrs. ago and I worked really hard and lost 110 lbs. I did cardio, diet and running and any other exercise I could to losr my weight. I have gained 81bs of my weight back and i am starting to get that fat feeling complex back and I really have alot of loose flabby areas that I really would love to tone up and turn into muscle. I bought and faithfully did some other worouts that were suppossed to work in 90 days and 60 days and i did them but was not happy with my resaults. I followed them and didn't have the results like everyone else had on the video. I follow a low carb diet because of the Gastric Bypass so I am not sure if that effects my muscle gain. I really would love to have that sexy toned body that I once had in high school. I feel like a failure because I have tried everything that I know of to loose that extra 10 lbs. i gained back. I love to do the exercise but am not sure were to go from here. I am 5ft. 11 inches tall and would love to turn some heads again like I used too. I also feel that I have lost most of my strength and it is hard for me to lift heavy or akward things like I used too.
Hey Vince nice job with the video MYM looks unbelievable and definitly looks like my kind of program. Im currently doing your NNMB program and im absolutley loving it. Im in the best shape iv ever been in. Im getting complements every time I go to the gym it feels great, it is really inspiring and I havnt even come close to hitting my potential yet. Im 22 years old now and im starting a personal training course in October. By getting NNMB I made sure id be ahead of the game by the time I start but I want to go as far as I can go, not only in the gym but in life too. I want to go as far as I can go in the fitness industry, NNMB was the first step, MYM is the next step. I believe this program can help me be the best I can be.

welll the reason is that im always called the skinny kid and the weakling, and I want to brove to everyone that im not the same persona I was when I was in high school, I want people to be in shock and say thats you, and I dont want to be normal I want to became beyond that, but I dont have the equipment or the money to do it, but I know that I will reach my goals.
With this new system: Looking greater will allow me to do my job more effectively in the military. Physical Fitness is a major requirement for the job, so wiht your system I can take my pt score and increase it!
Hi Vince
I enjoy camping, treking, biking, climbing etc. So, I started training with weights about three months ago in order to get fit for the summer.
I'm planning on going on a few hiking and climing trips with people much younger than myself, I'm 68.
Over the past few months I've been weight training reasonable hard , harder than I thought possible, eating healthier, with some unexpected results. I feel fitter than I've been for years.
So if someone my age could be better than the norm? (whatever that is) what a testimony that would be to others my age and help them get motivated to do the same. I want to be as fit and as healthy as possible, for as long as possible, because it enhances the quality of life and would love others to know that it is never too late to get fit and even look good.

Vince,
Two and a half years back I had a physical and at 5'8" at 240lbs, smoking and eating everything, my Doc told me that if I wanted to see my son graduate form HS, I better change. (Scared the you know what out of me). Would you believe that most of my life I was the skinny kid. I went on weight gainers and gained the weight that I showed not have. Gotta stay away from the "experts" For a year and a half I worked out like a dog and lost weight but no matter how hard and how often, there were only minor changes. I then started using someone for nutrition and found that this was a huge part of the equation that I did not understand. Who knew that all of the "diet" things had stuff in them that kept the fat on. How they slowed your metabolism and were not good for you. I learned about all of the chemicals in processed food and what they did to your body. There is so much about the foods we eat that I did not realize how this really helps you to change your entire body inside and out. Whole fresh food is so much better for you. I am still not there yet, I do change my workout often but I don't see the results as I think they should happen. I have spent countless hours reading and studying and the price of personal trainers are insane. I also have figured out the supplement industry is a little shady. I think I have figured out everything on what not to do in this sport. The shoulder told me that about a year ago. (Ouch)
I am now about to turn 43 this month and my goal is to compete in a bodybuilding show! I have accomplished a lot in my life and It is more than just setting the goal and you are there. My goal started 2.5 years ago and I am not going to miss it. I know I can get on that stage and win.
Best regards,

Hi Vince,
I should begin by mentioning that the person I am today is unlike the person I was one year ago; for the first 19 years of my life, I was the fat guy. The funny fat guy, maybe, the lovable fat guy, sure, but the fat guy regardless. My body was the source of nobody’s envy, and my lack of respect for it was apparent. That changed for no other reason than that I decided 19 years of being fat was 19 years too many, and that I would, through determination, resourcefulness and intellect, take control and start respecting the potential I knew I had somewhere beneath the fat.
It didn’t take long for me to see results. Going from zero to one was the biggest step and once I saw myself losing weight I never had trouble pushing onward. I lost 90 pounds through diet, exercise and a lot of positive thinking.
My journey is not over. I’ve gone from clinically obese to sustaining a healthy, normal weight, but my goals reach beyond “normal.” To be more in my life, I want to be more in my body; my body is the vessel through which I aim to achieve the things in my life that “normal” people only dream of. As a student of science and medicine, and a believer in a bright future for both, I want to stand at the forefront, with confidence and infectious self-respect, with ambitions of changing the world forever.
Humbly,
Alex
PS – 250 words isn't a lot to work with, but I hope my determination to better myself was evident nonetheless. Thank you for your consideration and for the endless help you've already been generous enough to provide for free in your newsletter.
Hi Vince
I run a large Dairy Farm in New Zealand. I employ 4 staff and we milk 1000 cows. I think it is very important for myself and my staff to be in peak physical performance as we work long hours everyday. A programme such as yours is exactly what we need because of it’s simplicity and the fact we don’t need to be taking heaps of useless supplements. We look forward to being considered for this prize. Cheers from ‘Maroa Farm’ and the team
Myself, I had a hysterectomy when 45 and since then my hormones are out of wack and I have gained 70 pounds, believe it or not, it is not because I am lazy and don't walk or anything else or watch what I eat. I use to not look so bad, now I am fat and most of it is in my stomach, thighs and butt. I recently had cancer in my breast and went through the radiation and now have to take anti hormone, which blocks my estrogen and I have gained more. I am sick of being fat and would love to be able to loose my stomach and get ignorant people to shut there mouths. Everyone always thinks it is because of poor eating habits, sometimes it is hormonal problems. I would love to feel better about my self and get my self esteem back instead of sheltering myself and being embarrassed when I go out in public.
Hey Vince,
Why do I want to look like something Greater than the norm, Have you seen the norm? Why would anyone want to be obese, have health problems, make excuses of why they can't accomplish any of their goals.and be sucking down energy drinks or coffee all day to have to make it through the day.
I love going to the gym, Its a place that I go to do battle. The battle isn't always with the weights you have to fight against the mental and physical parts, pushing your mind and body past the limits you feel comfortable, looking at your fears and saying FUCK THAT! Wanting more than the average person would. Pushing yourself past what you thought you were not capable of doing. And I believe this helps in every day life, your more confident in yourself, more motivated, you realize you can accomplish anything you put your mind and soul into.

This question is really smart I can see the reason behind it. You really want to see how serious we are and how important this is for us. so you want some thing made in the heart called intentions as hard and true they are made the easier and the faster they transport us to our goal its like traveling for 12 month what intentions last through all that time they must be true full enough to not stop until I reached my goal so it starts from in side
-Really it's about faith in my self that I deserve being above the normal to balance the outside with the inside …..Which no one really knows but me……..
-Its also faith that this is what we are made for developing the inside and outside of ourselves
-Its also about the connection with others (( Appearance effects impressions )) this (appearance reflect the inside)( appearances is a messages) I need this in normal life ( work , fiancé , ……)
It's also about living easier and safer living stronger means that ….
Also Fulfilling a debt to my body when I wasted it in doing drugs and smoking ……

I have battled body image all my life. Growing up a fat kid made me self-conscious. I never wanted to show my body. As I grew, some things changed but I only saw the fat. I bought my first set of Joe Weider barbells when I was in high school and worked out religiously. I knew nothing of nutrition and supplements were unheard of. I have continued to work out (until about a year ago) with very little to show for it. I never was able to “get it all together” – diet, nutrition, correct training, inspiration… NOW is the time.
I deserve it because I have been working for it all my life. I have paid my dues.
If I had a “…body better than norm.” I would definitely present myself as an example to other senior citizens that you don’t have to look old to be old.
It is important for me to “…look and feel better than just ‘average’.” because I am better than just average.
I turn 73 in July and I would like to have a six-pack for my birthday…and I don’t mean Buds!
People can chose to be REACTIVE to what life will throw at them or you can take ACTION and decide how life is going to react TO YOU. When I see something like this, I know that your like-minded. I COULD talk about how I was 6 years ago, flabby, skinny and how I've gone against that and gotten the body I do love but I think its more important to see where you are NOW and say instead "where do I want to BE?".
While this sounds lofty and spiritual, I truly believe that your soul is only as good as the body which carries it and my soul needs to grow, I have dreams and ambitions AND I'M REACHING THEM day-by-day, the other day I got given the place at the University I WANTED because of discipline and focus to improve myself (University of Sheffield in the UK) and to go to there from the school I went to ('Bridgemary Community School' type that into Wikipedia and you'll see what I mean) demonstrates this.
Let that inspire you, like its inspired me. A better body is a better way of BEING with yourself and everything around you.
Hey Vince,
I'm going to keep this really simple. I am 54. Three years ago I was a toxic mess. I cleaned up my act, and have been training hard. I took 20 years off my body. And changed my life!
Now I am ready for another quantum leap. I'd like to show all baby boomers that quantum leaps in physical condition are possible AT ANY AGE.
Vince – let's do it!
Actually, I'm so motivated right now…i'm heading to the gym! And, I'm going to go buy some flowers for my wife just because…
Thanks for the opportunity Vince!!
I'm constantly reading articles and searching for new exercises. I want to lead by example. I don't want to impress others…I want to impress myself! I have a picture of you with my head on it…LOL I'm not joking. That is my visual motivation. I have goals written down on paper as well.
Going beyond my genetic potential in my training, which seems to be where I'm at right now, would also give me the knowledge and motivation to do the same in my life, work, etc. My wife and I have come along way and are very fortunate to be where we're at today. We have four beautiful, healthy kids, I have a very good job in which my wife doesn't have to work, and we have more family that helps us out and cares for us than a lot of people! If I can put so much dedication into building the body that I know I can and that your program can provide, I know I can put the same amount of dedication into being the best little league baseball coach for my son, or being the best husband to my wife, or being the best father to all of my kids.
For me, it's just about feeling great and looking great and knowing the hard work that it takes to reach the level I want to be at and do it naturally. It's funny because my wife and I were walking through the mall just the other day and I passed unhealthy person after unhealthy person. It was actually kind of disgusting to be honest. She is trying to lose about 20 lbs after her last pregnancy and is now on the bandwagon. My son is in karate and just said something the other day about my muscles. It was pretty cool to hear him say that he wants to have big muscles like me when he gets bigger.
Over the years I lost the motivation to go to the gym and look and feel better. I was eating fast food every day and drinking pop all day. I am happily married and was just complacent with where I was…until…
LOL…about 9 months ago I was at my twin brother's house (he's 2 minutes older) and he took his shirt off to get into a dunk tank. He was ripped!! About 150 lbs and 10% body fat. He's been working out for about 2 years or so consistently. Now, as I said, he is my twin and we have ALWAYS been very competitive. There I was, 196 lbs and I'm guessing around 20% body fat. Well, I was at the gym two days later at 5:00am and have never looked back. It's been 5-6 days a week for close to 9 months and I'm now 161 lbs and 11% body fat. I either go at 4:30 am or I go during my lunch for an hour. It is simply part of my daily routine now and I make time for it either before or during work. When I come home, I want to spend time with my wife and kids. It's definitely hard to get up and go but I'm so motivated right now, it's never a problem.

Vince…first off I love watching your videos on YouTube. I just recently found your blog and website and I'm hooked. I log on and look up different exercises all the time before I head to the gym
So, I am 33 years old and live in Michigan. I have always been an athlete and actually played baseball in college at a division 1 university and received my mechanical engineering degree in 4 years. When I left college in 1998 I was 185 lbs and 6% body fat. I've always been really motivated and when I start something I go balls to the wall. After college I went into the automotive industry and sat behind a desk every day. I got married to my beautiful wife and we had a child right away. We now have 4 kids, ages 6, 5, 3 and 3 months. Needless to say, we lead busy lives. Between karate, dance, baseball, soccer and school events, we don't have a lot of time to do things for us. I changed jobs about 2 years ago and I'm now working crazy hours!! I'm in the office at 5:30 am and usually don't get home until 7 or 8 pm and work 6-7 days a week.
will need to continue in next post…

Hey Vince, my name is Mike, I’m 23 years old and I’ve been the fat guy all my life. I do take absolute responsibility for being in such a lack of shape, almost pushing 300 lbs. About a year ago I started watching Arnel's videos on YouTube and also getting links to some of your routines. After seeing these workouts, I stared down at my gut, love handles, and man boobs and I thought “I don’t want to look like this anymore-it’s time to take charge.” In the past year, I have lost about 40 pounds, I’m still 260 lbs, but working on it. I watch your videos and think man this is a guy who never has a problem getting a girl, who lights up the room wherever he goes, and is in complete control of his body. I want to look just like you and carry around with me that same confidence you must surely enjoy.
Why Do You Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
bacause it makes me feel better in many different ways. i used to be fat when i was a kid.i hated working out and ate a lot. when i started growing and getting taller, i looked less fat. it made me feel confident. i was kinda jelous of people with 6-packs and wanted to have one myself. i started watching video's on the internet and signed up on the gym. for the first time in my life i started liking working out and felt better. i even started playing soccer, which i hated since i knew the sport existed. i got bigger in 9 months and i still want to get bigger. it just makes me feel confident. i want people to respect me instead of ingnoring me. being more than normal is my way of living and i want to be able to tell people that they can do whatever they want. and if they wouldnt believe me, i would take myself as example.
Hey Vince,
The primary reason I want to succeed and go above the norm in terms of fitness is because I have always been the skinny guy: in my family, in my school, in my life. I want to prove to everyone around me, just as you have, that building muscle is not a restrictive concept based on genetics. I want to prove that ANYONE has the ability to gain muscle and be fit. Being in college, I am way short on money, which is the reason why I am applying to get this program for free. I know if I was offered this program, I would build the body of my dreams and help and inspire others to do the same.
Thanks for your time, Vince.
Well I was an athlete from age four to about 20. I did a little bit of everything. I had a world class body and world class performance. Some where along the line between 20 and 36 I went down hill. Then I had a nasty injury that left me crippled for about 3 years. During those 3 years I went from about 225lbs. and 8% body fat to over 350lbs and about 39% body fat. I have had two surgeries and am now clear to work out again and enjoy life.
The problem is my body will not let me. I can barely play with my 3 boys. I am trying to exercise and diet but pulling it all together has been an issue for me.. I understand that body transformation is a completely different animal then training to enhance ones performance on the field and I am grossly out of my element. I never had to diet in my life to lose fat if I need to burn some fat I just worked out a little bit longer or harder and that was that!
I want to be able to play with my three boys like I did before the injury. I want to be able to run around with them and not get so winded. I want to make sure I life a long healthy life. I think I need help putting it all together so I can lose all the fat and rebuild my body with muscle! Oh and I am a single Dad attending college and working so I would like to have women look at me like they used too! I do not want to settle for less because I am out fat.
God Bless and Happy Easter,

I desire to have a body that is equal to my Spiritual Awareness and continually growing! Looking and feeling above average will help the Light within me from above to radiate outwards. Proudly I will proclaim, Thanks to my Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ for his redemption to see beyond the flesh and have a new life. Secondly thanks to Vince DelMonte for being blessed with the knowledge and wisdom to share transformational body developement. I will be able to say I am on the good road to a "Perfect Package". That being a healthy fit vessel for the Spirit of our Lord to inhabate and functionally perform his will.
I've been working out for a few years like many guys do and I've realized majority are the same. I guess everyone is happy with the status quo. I want more than just that. I've seen your articles and have applied just a bit to my routine and it has helped tremendously. I don't mean to get spiritual here but this body is the only body our good Lord gave us and why not take it beyond its limit. He created it/us for great things. He also wants great things in the other areas of our life. You have pointed this out in your videos. I know I want and would love to help others too in all areas of life…you know the "pass it forward" philosophy. OK enough of my sermon. I'm definitely ready to breakthrough all barriers in all areas of my life.
GO FOR IT
Part 3
I want to be a part of the people who can inspire everybody around them… and you can only inspire the people around you, when you inspire yourself and make the changes you deserve.
P.S: Being lean is so much easier on gymnastics hahaha, doing a backflip so high and powerfull was never so easy. And i`m telling you, popping when you`re skinny looks alot easier when theres no fat to wubble when you "pop" lollllll
Thanks for everything Vince.
Part 2
Then one day I discovered we were not ment to be fat (through mike geary and arnel, then by you), I started working my ass off to finally achieve my six packs! People who dident see me in a long time, left with a their jaw dropped. I inspired so many people to actually loose the weight themselfs! in 6 months I inspired 6 people to loose their weight, which that inspired other people… like a chain reaction. People in my entourage keep getting healthier, so its alot easier to eat healthy when most of my social network is following a healthy life-style like a fad.
Now i`m stuck amongst the skinny guys, feeling their distress to gain muscle, saying that were stuck like this and well never have the body that buff guys have… Once again I want to proove everybody wrong. I know we can go beyond our genetic potential… I alreayd proved it once, I could do it the other way around also! I know i`ll inspire more people again and provoke a chain reaction.
Part 1
Heyy Vince,
I`ve followed your blogs for a while , so maybe its time for me also to contribute in here.
First of all, I started out a fat kid. During my entire childhood I got teased and pushed around for being fat, yet alone rejected by the females only due to my physique. Since then I`ve tried to push the limits in everything. Even being fat I was doing gymnastics, flips and acrobating only to prove that I can do anything with my body. I was told fat kids couldn`t do anything. So I was investing my time into, gymnastics, dancing , playing piano, drawing and even writing poetry. Trying to be an inspiration to people around me even if I diden`t have the looks to inspire.
I am currently going through the MYM program that started in January. At the age of 62, I hope to inspire others to remain as fit as possible for the rest of their lives. I was a wreck at 50 and at least 50 pounds overweight. I currently am almost there as far as fitness is concerned. Doing this program will help me achieve that goal. I compete in natural bodybuilding and intend to do so well into my 70's. That has already made some people comment that they wish that they could look as good when they get to my age. Being able to inspire someone else to seek fitness is reward enough.

Why Do You Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
. And i know if i win this program it would give me the information i need to pack on muscle fast.
I want to look better than the norm because ive been fat for a good portion of my life. About 25% body fat. Then i set it to my goal to have a 6 pack. I subsribed to you,Mike Greary and Isabel del Rios. So i could Obtain the best information that was gonna help me reach my goal and i did. Lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle and went down to about 6-7% body fat. But now i want muscle! I wanna be that guy that people call to move their furniture.That guy thats turning heads at the beach.No longer being called scrawny or skinny by the girl im persuing
Hay vince,
When it comes to fitness I think I have been all over the place, from being to big when I was a kid, to losing lots of weight and looking what I would call 'normal', to losing too much weight with long distance running. Now I just need to do anything special with myself. I train like a guy obsessed, but I just don't get the results I crave for. If I had some guidance I KNOW I would be able to get above the 'norm'. I am that determined. It’s really all I want in life; I'm fed up of being know it the skinny weak one of my mates. I want the body, confidence and girls, and Vince I know you have been through this skinny guy pain, it can really bring you down, but I refuse to give up.
vince i am a sikh from punjab,india .I want to look better than norm because i want to face and fight against injustices happening there by physically and mentally both .Whether you help me or not it will not affect my determination and hard work in becoming a warrior because somehow i will be able to reach there myself.I don't want to say anything else instead of this because my goal is simply straight forward.any kind of help will be greatly appreciated otherwise it is okay
Vince,
I want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm, because I want to live life greater than the norm! I want to be able to motivate everybody around me, to live a healthy and fit life style. I remember some one telling me that "my body type wasn't the type that can grow muscle". I knew that was BS! I wasn't fat or skinny. I had a little beer belly and no muscle tone.
I stared eating right, and working out. Doing a lot of research online. I read all the article you guys put out ( Vince Delmonte, Lee Hayward, John Romaniello, and Joe Marion). I am looking good these days. I have changed my body. But I am definitely not above the norm. Eventually I will get there. I am a very dedicated person. I have the attitude of " if you are going to do something. Do it right, or don't do it at all". I am in my mid 20's and have a lot of potential. So if you're looking for someone that is 100% dedicated. I'm your man. If not I will continue doing my research and working out hard, but above all smart. Thanks for your time Vince.

Because I want to feel as I had never felt before: "sexy"
I want to be able to walk naked in my house without feeling selfconsious, I want to go to the beach and walk with the new bikini body…
I come from a family where none of the women have the minimum muscle tone. My mother once said to me that I inherited her non-growing muscles, that I can't expect to have toned "buns". I really want to prove her wrong and to inspire the other women in my family to do something great for theirselves.
Please Vince help me, I really want to feel sexy when naked.

Hey Vince
Getting beyond the norm, will allow me to live to the limit and to the full. Increase my confidence so I can prove that anything is possible and that "IF YOU REALLY WANT IT, YOU CAN HAVE IT".

OK Vince, I do not write too much I'll be short and sweet I'm Gabriel from Israel enjoyed reading your material is very fascinated by the many efforts and attempts to achieve long time until I read some of your tips helped me move forward so I would be happy to move forward and get more than average body Perhaps after years to hit the target after three years of army will be nice to get a gift Release:)
self confidence, improve life living, free advertisement to others
One of the reasons I would like the MYM membership is to get in shape and get and stay healthy. I have two little girls I would love to spend the most time I can with. Also be able to compete in sports with friends or in the colligate level. I would like people to ask me how I became fit so I can tell them it was from your plan. I need new plans to blow past the norm. thanks
I WANT TO BE A GUIDO WITH A THIN GOLD CHAIN JUST LIKE YOU! AFTER I PACK ON THE MUSCLE, I'LL GO OUT AND BUY AN IROC Z.
I work harder than anyone I know, if I'm not doing cardio one day, I'm doing intense weight training. On Thursdays I have my "suicide" workout, where I hit the treadmill doing HIIT on a steep incline, burning about 400+ calories in 30 minutes. I can lift 240 lbs on an incline bench and 275 on a lower back machine. I'm proud of my body, fitness isn't something I'm just "in to", but it's my life style. If I'm busy, I MAKE time to work out. Now I will say something you might hate hear, but looking at my parents and grandparents, I don't have good genetics for body building. I've already proved my siblings wrong, and now I want to go to the next level, break my 150 lb plateau, and build a Jack Lalanne body. Thanks for your time.
By the way, sorry for the multiple comment boxes.

Why do I want to look like something greater than the norm? There is no simple answer to this question and if I was to divulge all my reasons to you you would probably be bored, because you already know the benefits of having a great body.
It's human nature to want what you can't have, and the main reason it is difficult to produce the body everyone so desperately seeks is that society's norm for eating and exercising is dragging you in the wrong direction of were you want to go. Because of the difficulty of building said body, it is often linked with respect, success and well-being. The main reason I want to build a great body is simply because I want to prove to the world that I can overcome the challenge, prove to myself and everyone else that I am strong enough to do what it takes to get the results. It's about so much more than just building a body, I would actually say it's about building your mind, because when you go through a process like this and come out the other end of the tunnel victorious, your entire mindset will change. The world is full of endless opportunities, you just have to build up the confidence and the belief that you are capable of doing whatever you want – and that is the main reason I want to build a great body.
Fredrik Strand Oseberg,

Well I feel like I deserve a great body for 2 reasons; I want it more and I work harder for it. Growing up I used to be a "chunky" kid. I always hated those guys who were naturally lean and had abs in middle school. They were always the ones who got to date the cute girls while I was the kid who ran maybe 3rd or fourth slowest in my class. Finally I got fed up with it when I was about 16 [I'm still a young guy, 19 going on 20, this was maybe a bit more than 3 years ago].
Since that time I've gradually gotten into better and better shape. I went from wearing a 34 waist [and remember that I was shorter then] to now having size 28 pants that slip off my waist. I've dropped something like 50-60 lbs, and am pretty low on my body fat percentage [im about 5'11", 150 lbs]. I've become a lacto-ovo-pelo vegetarian, I count my calories,keeping track of protein carbs and fats, and dont touch anything that would be bad fuel for my body.
Hey Vince,
First of all must say awesome freaking stuff sir…(not trying to kiss ass) You practice what you preach, and you are a example of your own work. Thats what has made me follow your stuff. I will try to make this as short as possible don't want you to get all bored. I am from Sri Lanka and currently living there. I studied in Canada, Ottawa from 2002-2008. When i first got to Ottawa i was 20years old 5'9'' at 135lb, YES i was scrawny as hell. I went to college to do a diploma in mechanical engineering(not by choice, was just to please my parents) and i failed really bad. After i took Tool and die making and finally graduated from it in 2008.
In 2004 i was at a club in Hull, Quebec. And was quite tipsy and was having a good time. All of sudden a fight broke out. I got my A** handed to me by just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. I was thrown around like a rag doll by these huge guys compared to me. I was defenseless and ended up in the hospital. That day i told my self i gotta get big like those guys and if i was i wouldn't have been in this situation.
So i started training. i had no guidance cause couldn't afford it as a foreign student. I was reading online stuff, and was trying out different stuff. Followed your stuff, Arnel and there was a few others. so long story short was never able to be consistent at it with school and all that i know not an excuse. Anyways since January 2009 i was fully committed and i was constant at working out. Now i'm at 180lb with like 15%-18% fat. I am actually in love with working out now. I am currently in a health and fitness certificate program offered by the Sri Lankan sports ministry. And have gotten accepted to Algonquin college, Ottawa to take Fitness and health promotions diploma in August 2010.
And the reason why i want to get a your MYM program is that i want to become a fitness model like you so once i'm done my studying i can start my own business. And Preach what i've practiced to make a others life's better….
(thats basically it, made it short as possible)
Thank you for all your free stuff really appreciate it. You have been a great help for me to reach where i am today.

As Flavia says, THIS ISN'T JUST FOR THE GUYS! I'm a 43-year old mom of 5 and while keeping myself looking hot and attractive is definitely an important motivator, a much more important motivating factor for me is maximizing my health and fitness.
As a mother and a teacher, I serve as a role-model for teenagers and young adults, my coworkers, and my friends; they look at the fitness gains I make and maintain, and become motivated to achieve their own fitness goals. They are all the more motivated by my fitness gains despite my suffering from fibromyalgia. Running a busy household and teaching middle-schoolers means I have to stay in tip-top form; I don't have time for pain or weakness to sideline me. Keeping myself strong enables me to keep myself pain-free and full of the energy and enthusiasm I need to devote myself to my family, students, and friends.
Just as I would never want my children or my students to be satisfied with mediocrity, I can't be satisfied with simply the norm. I want to push my body beyond average and achieve the results which would give me the health, fitness, and well-being of a superb physical specimen. Let's take it beyond the norm, everyone!
Part 2 of 3:
Why shouldn't I deserve something I've worked extremely hard for? It's not easy when friends think you're anti-social because you don't go out because "you have to lift", or "you can't eat this". Thing is, they don’t know how good it feels when you push your body beyond its limits. Draining, but ever so rewarding. That’s the thing about so many people. They don’t know how good it feels when you see the results after pushing your body beyond what most are capable of. It’s not something I want, it’s something I need, and that’s the difference. That’s why I deserve to maximise my muscle.
So what am I going to do when I get the physique of my dreams? I’ll show the people how they can drive their bodies beyond boundaries seeming so impossible. For example, there’re people in my gym who keep going on about how you can’t achieve your desired physique without performance-enhancing supplements (we’re talking about juicing here), well, let me maximise my muscle and I’ll show them something they’ve never seen before.

Yo Vince, okay I have no idea what's going on, but there're people who have comments longer than mine and yet they can post em, but when I post mine, it says it's too long, and I should try separating my comments. I'm going do just that I guess, so I'm sorry if I caused any inconvenience. It's less than 250 words though.
Part 1 of 3:
When it comes to bodybuilding, I can't blame anybody. That's the best part. Bodybuilding instils mad discipline, responsibility, determination, focus, and that drive for success. Best part of all, success or failure, it'd be because of me and no one else. I deserve a better body because this is my life, and I want to live life to the fullest, and enjoy every moment of it.

Hey Vince!
You are exactly right when you say there is a hugh difference between looking good and smokin' good. Over the years I've tried so many different programs–and yes they've gotten me to a place where I feel strong and healthy, BUT, I'm still not in that top 3% (smokin'). I really desire that now as my intermediate goal and I'm willing to give 110% to this program for my health, looks and all other aspects of life. Thanks for your consideration.
Dear Vince,
The reason that you will be rewarding me with this new program is that I want to take my wife Karen to a new level in her transformation. She is a cancer survivor that was not given much hope. However, she is proving everybody wrong due to our commitment to exercise and eat clean100% organic foods. She is my inspiration to keep pushing myself at the age of 50. With this new program I can keep her healthy and around for another 25 years of marital bliss. I know that you are getting married in June and I want you to know that my wife is my best friend and I can see that you and Flavia have that connection that my wife and I have. May God bless you in all that you do.
Your teammate in Christ,

Vince, I'm told that my comment is too long, and I need to separate it into different comments? It's less than 250 words though.
Anyway I'll just do what it says, and I'll post my story in the next comment.

hey vince!
i'm a Belgian teenager who has a very fast metabolism. My father is dead skinny, my grandfother is dead skinny and so on…
I want to defeat being skinny in my family! That's my life goal and right now i'm training to get giant without anabolics!
I starded at 15 with Bodybuilding and made an average progress of +- 50 pounds in 4 years.
Now every day i learn more about bodybuilding. There is so much information about bodybuilding on the net! Well, your program is problebly the best and i can't wait to have it in my hands!
i respect you for the things you have managed in your life! A great body, beatifull girlfriend who is so freaking cute! and your great bisseniss.
Now enough typing i need to eat my giant dinner and get some sleep of my super intense leg training!
P.S. my English is not that good so my apoligy for the inconvenience.
Cya vince!
And many greetings from lovely Belgium!
As a female to male transsexual I have hated my body my whole life until I began taking control of who I really am. Post transition I am a weedy 5'5 man who weighs 120lbs and gets laughed at in the street. To win this competition and with your help I could finally get the chance to turn my life around and become the man I always dreamed of being.
A better body would change my life because I will stop looking like a woman on hormones and look like a man. I deserve a better body because although I may not have had the toughest life, it certainly has not been an easy ride. With a healthier looking body I could lose some of my dysphoria towards myself that other people take for granted.
It's not important to me to feel more than average because right now I am less than average. With a body beyond the norm my depression may lift and it would be easier for others around me to communicate with me. I would like to imspire others to get fit and healthy once I am in good shape just as you have inspired me throughout your workout video's to get fitter.

Hi Vince,
You asked “Why Do I Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
I’m a 53 year old guy who recently started to go to my next level. I’d already help raise two wonderful boys with the help of my terrific wife. I had completed an MBA while providing financial support to my family. I continue to be a successfully employed individual and want to give back to the world some of what I’ve been blessed with.
I’m now ready to go to continue to next phase of my life. I plan to live to at least 100 years of age and want to be an inspiration to any & all individuals I meet along the journey. You have the right attitude and motivation to help me get where I want to go. If I look like something greater than the norm I’m sure to influence others. You see I determined many years ago that I my goal in life was to leave the world better off than it was before I arrived. My motivation is both spiritual and personal so I want to exude that and greater than average looks are an initial way to encourage success.
I truly belive that greater than the norm is required to acomplish the improbable because nothing is truly impossible. However, I don’t envy you trying to decide the 3 lucky winners because you obviously have a tremendous amount of people trying to succeed. Good luck and well wishes for your continued success. Please continue to inspire those of us to go beyond are potential and thank you for concidering me as a winning candidate.

Good morning Vince,
I was always a chubby/fat person. When I was two, I weighed 60lbs. As I got older I remained chubby and found out the I was extremely flat-footed. My mom did let me play organized sports because I was to short, have asthma and a slight heart murmur. So I continued to play sport outside. I was never supposed to be fast because of my size and flat-footedness. During elementary school field days, in anything event we did I always place in the top 3. I was still chubby. I eventually did hoop it up tournaments when I was 13 playing against 24 year old player. I was a freshman, 5'1" 125lbs. Chubby and short. Mom still would let me play organized sports even though I was able to touch rim. So I did marching band in south Florida my 10th grade year. I didn't even get a drum spot initially, by the end of that school year I was the in competition for that #1 bass drum spot. For people who don't know, band in south Florida is as competitive as football. We trained harder then them, and when we did street football versus them, the drum line would always win. They want me to play, but my mom said no. By the time I was a senior, I was 5'8" 190lbs. Doctors thought I was on steroids because of how much muscle I gain. Now people always ask me did I play football, even my mom said I should of play. I'm like, "mommy, you told me I was too small." I'm now 23, 5'9" 200lbs with 13.3% body fat. I was 225, but I didn't like being so big, so within 2 months I lost the weight and start doing more natural body workouts. I know this is kinda of long, but at the end I never let anyone hold me from improving even though it wasn't the way I originally want to. I cut this story short. I would like this membership to help me find other ways to improve. If you don't feel that I need it, that's ok. I understand if you believe that someone else is more deserving of it. Whether I get it or not, I will always improve myself. Everyone this program is met to help you improve, but If you don't put in the work, nothing in this world will or could help you. Enjoy everyone and improve you lives. God bless…
This is NovaZoe again. I may not be into my career, but through all my set backs I've remained focused. I'm going to school full-time at UCF and also work full-time. I graduate in May. I know people use school or work as an excuse. I get off work 2:30 in the mornings and wake up by 7am to make it to school on time. I live on my own and been doing so since I was 17 (that's when i started UCF). I'm flat-footed, have asthma, a slight heart murmur, during workouts my sodium levels get low quickly to the point of whole body spasms, to prevent this I have to drink pickle juice. I have injuries from an accident I can't even remember that happen 1.5 years ago and it was said it's a miracle I survived let alone walk away with minor injuries. I write this to say, WHAT IS YOUR EXCUSE?? I keep going no matter what. DO YOU??
last time …
I know I have the power to overcome whatever it is that is holding me back from making the gains that I want – but we all can use a little help and some expert guidance. If you choose me you will not regret it and you will have a major success story for your record books, because I am a tenacious b@st@rd and with or without your help – I WILL overcome! Thanks for your time, thanks for the offer, and thanks for the inspiration.
PS
Sorry I took so much space, guess I have a lot to say. This was me being brief too.
continued from above …
Success breads success and I am successful – just maybe not as rapidly as I would like in some aspects of fitness, specifically building lean mass. To get this position, I beat out people with more time in the company, people who hold graduate degrees and more advanced certifications than me, but through my eagerness, innovativeness and by the way I carry myself, I obtained the job. Now I am the coordinator of the best sports training facility in town and part of a healthcare team whose motto is "The Power to Overcome!" I have clients who are elite athletes to those with severe limitations and only have the use of one limb. When I show them how much they do, moreso than they ever imagined, that is what gets me out of bed every morning.
continued from above …
I can have a big personality or I can tone down – it depends on the situation, people and surroundings. I get athletes, 10 years my junior and twice my size, all the time. These guys walk in and look at me thinking what the hell can I show them. Once I get going and moving they see why they came to me and why word has spread locally about what we do – but it is deceptive. Until I get that chance to show what I can do and what I know and can share, they think I may be a fraud or armchair athlete (reading and not doing). Why I would like to engage in your program is to have that instant moment in people's minds that I am for real. People tend to brush one off, because of a less than monumental physical stature. I always change their minds once I talk and prove myself once I move. Really, regardless if you decide to chose me or not, I WILL reach my goals.
Dear Vince:
I am similar to yourself. I work in the industry, have my formal education in the discipline and I live to inspire others. My current duties have me wearing many hats – S&C coach for athletes looking to enhance performance, healthcare professional training clients in inclusive fitness, post-rehab and corrective ExRx, and finally helping community members in general fitness / wellness services. I remain fit for health-related, skill-related reasons as well as physiologic-related reasons. My game is self-defense. I train hard to have that go-muscle when / if I ever need it. I love this stuff, I eat up journals, I research constantly (at least now I can say it is job related). In recent history my knowledge base has expanded to help others – the greatest duty is to serve others. That is my job, my passion and my life – to serve others. Why do I train? So, I can be there for those I love, those that may need assistance, and to keep myself alive to continue to be there for others. When I train people, my words inspire, my actions motivate, my movements bring admiration – but my physical presence is not there. continued …
I'm gonna celebrate my 16th birthday next friday and the only thing I want as a birthday present more than anything else would be to win that membership and make my body look like yours Vince. Over the last year I've lost 20 kilos of fat but unfortunately, muscle mass as well and I can't gain it back, no matter how hard I try in the gym.Currently, I weigh 65 kilos and I'm 1.73 m tall.
My dream is to become a dietologist-nutritionist and get the knoledge and experience you have Vince.I want to help people look better, feel better with their body and vanish obesity from our world once and for all.
Oh, and something else. I want to make my body look amazing so that other people can see my results and feel that there is hope for everyone to get the body of their dreams.
Hey Vince Dig your vibes and you have found a good one in Flavia! Congrats on your marriage
I feel I could benefit from this program to give my body the physique it deserves, the strength that it craves, and to push past any limits my mind/ego puts in front of me. To make a long story short, I have survived a few crashes (Bike and car) have herniated discs but always keep moving forward. Scott Sonnon's programs helped me get back on track, but part of me wants to gain some functional mass and I feel this program would do the trick. Thanks for your time and info
Peace,
M
Vince the truth is i need Maximize Your Muscle to go beyond the knowledge and inspiration i have gained with N-N Muscle Building & Your 6-Pack Quest, i believe Maximize Your Muscle will be another stepping stone to achieving my goals that are helping me climb the mountain, i have listened to your messages and your inspiration that has helped me improve my life not only in the gym but out side of the gym too.
i always remember this one message from your book, "Successful people in life have developed the habit of doing what unsuccessful people don't feel like doing."
Vince one day i will reach the top of the mountain.

I'm done with normal programs and normal results. I'm sick of it – Working out, only to hit a plateau. I'm going to puke, if I have to do the same old routine with bulking and cutting – two steps forward and one backwards. You show me the way Vince, and in return I'll give you the BEST success history you will ever get. Lets show the world exactly where the limits for achievement are: NOWHERE. I'm ready to fuck my genetics up if you are.
Isak Tougaard, Fredericia, Denmark.
Your body is your first impression you'll ever leave on anybody. When you meet someone, whether its your future employer, future life partner, old friends, or new acquaintances; you're body tells a lot about you. Physical fitness is an essential key to a full, and successful life. It shows that you are dedicated, persistent, and caring of yourself and others around you. When you are working constantly towards reaching an amazingly fit, and strong body, other bad habits like lack of diet, over drinking, smoking, and lack of sleep disappear quickly.
Vince I am graduating high school and going into college, and being the norm doesn't settle with me. I've been lured into the drinking and partying lifestyle that college offers, but after training and studying up on every possible training program, yours has helped me stick to my plans. I want to be more than the average person. I want to make my family proud, by upholding the family name with a positive reputation. I want to show others, that it is possible to blow past your genetic disposition and become a muscular, healthy being. I want to become the responsible and dedicated man God intended all men to be. I am entering the most important decision making time of my life, and I know that a unique, and challenging training program will put me on the right path. MYM is a chance for me to become the best that I can be, an opportunity not worth missing. Thanks Vince

Hey everbody.
My name is Florian Fay and I am from Germany.
I want to look greater than the norm to be more selfconfident and to show the people that I am strong enough to solve any problem.
I'm training now around a year.
A time ago my girlfriend (after this moment exgirlfriend) had another guy.
Than I wanted to show her how I can look.
I trained my frustration away.
The more I trained the better I felt and the better my selfconfidence was.
When I saw my exgirlfriend before I started training I felt very bad.
After starting training I enjoned seeing her because I saw her look when I my body got better and better.
Now I have a new girlfriend.
She really loves me.
My grades got better, too, the more selfconfidence I got.
Everybody should try training because it helps you in every situation in live.
I am 55 years old and have a club foot. I am going through grueling changes to improve my body to prove that it can be done. And the proof that I want to introduce with a better physique is not to the world but to myself. By improving my musculature it will make the distribution of energy through my body more attainable, my attitude more sustainable, and my outlook more obtainable.
Hi Vince–
I'd like to be considered for this Vince, because I want to learn these techniques to inspire others. I am, a woman in my mid 50s and am very active, and strong. I work out alot and am proud that I can do as much as many youngsters. I have a goal to get my personal training certification and help others my age and older to see that exercise can be something that is easy to do, and can be fun. I want to show them that if I can do it, they can too. This program will help me learn more so I can be a great coach and mentor to others who struggle with getting fit.
Thanks for all that you do in the same spirit.
Well, it`s pretty simple actually.
I recently started making a few changes in my life. I used to only think of myself, and that my actions would affect nobody else. Then I found the woman of my dreams, and we were wed. Since that time, I find that things I do may not only affect myself, but my wife (and hopefully child) as well. I want to be there for them as long as I possibly can. For this reason, I have changed my eating habits, and I started with a workout program. However, it seems that lately things have stagnated. I have watched many of your videos, and you seem like a knowledgeable and honest person, so I feel that this program of yours will help not only myself, but my family as well.
Chuck DiFonzo, Pennsylvania
Hello Vince,
The reason why I want to look better is because people don't believe I can do things like that! They always tell me that I can't reach such goals. The only reason is because that the people who say that don't know me. I want to look better then the norm because I want to show them at first that I can do what I set my mind to, and second because I want to be an inspiration to others. To show them that a good and health life style shows not only on the inside but especially in the outside.
Thomas (Holland)
Hey, I’m gonna be radically honest… I like to call myself athletic or slender because I hate skinny! It hurts every time it’s aimed at me –even when it’s not and I just hear it. It closes me down and builds needless defences and isolates me.
I want to be bigger because I don’t want to be jealous or feel less manly or insecure around bigger guys and have more confidence around everyone everywhere – especially girls (of course :s) It’s pretty stupid – and I hate to admit it – but the feelings of jealousy and envy always come up despite ‘knowing’ it’s all only superficial. Knowing hasn’t helped but experiencing will!
That’s not the worst thing though – it’s all the confusion and frustration with the conflicting advice about training and nutrition – and I’ve tried a lot of different so-called ‘guru’s’ methods. Is this the answer? I don’t know yet but from what I’ve seen and read Vince is the most genuine, credible and inspiring coach I’ve heard for a while. Plus if someone’s got what you want – model them.
I’m ready to commit 100% to one program that covers all the angles without the BS. I know when I get this side handled it will be the spring-board for every other area of my life to take off so I can go on and fulfil my own potential and help others fulfil theirs.
Insecurity, defensiveness and confusion suck!
Duncan McNeill, UK
Hey Vince,
People always ask me why I work out so much and are amazed that I do and am so good at it. I always am helping others out with fitness knowledge, whether its on what to eat or different training ideas.Yet I feel like I don't have much to show for it. I am stronger than most all my friends and have achieved a lot from lifting and bodybuilding, yet I am not satisfied. Every time I bulk or cut, gaining muscle or losing fat, I pretty much look like a bigger or smaller version of what I already look like, despite the numbers. Yet I still train like an animal because F*** that. I know I can keep going and really blow past my genetic potential. I never really stop making gains, but I look the same, just bigger or smaller. But I think that with your program and help I can achieve incredible things and inspire others to do the same.
Confidence and self esteem. Having an endomorph body type. Having tried for years to build muscle.
These 3 reasons are my foundation for wanting your programme, Vince.
I look in the mirror and see the belly, the flabby face. My Wife deserves much better. She loves me unconditionally but I want to give her the guy she knew when I was athletic and toned. I want her to see we are not victims of our genes.
I want to prove to the doubters of the last 7 years who ridiculed me when I gained weight that I have the mental strength and determination to get a great body again; I want their respect.
I want to be healthier. Supporting elderly parents, being the best husband possible and working full time leaves me run down. Yet a stronger body is a healthier body with more energy to do better the things I do.
I want to inspire others as to what is possible. Others say I am disabled because I am missing some of my lower right arm. I don't consider myself disabled, but if people see me that way, let them see what IS POSSIBLE; not seeing the disability but the ABILITY.
I want to get back to charity stuff (previously taught inner city kids sports and done charity sporting events) but feel useless in anything sporting. I'm committed to taking ownership of my body having bought DEFL from your friend Dr K; a free membership would not be wasted.
woooow!! vince first of all congratulations!! for this awesome program and your sooo soo beautiful girlfriend and future wife!!
I want this program because i want all that you have!! not just the body and that girl, but the fact of achieving something that for so many people is just impossible. i dont think i need more self esteem, am ok, i have a nice body that i earned whit allot of work!! and people respect me allot. but am just one more… and i want more than that, am a spontaneous guy that just love living, love art, love life, and love working out, for me getting beyond the norm will be achieving one of my goals and like completing one of my wishes in life, getting there will open to me all the next doors and will help me achieve anything in life. maybe it sounds crazy but this will show me that any thing is impossible in life!! and people will not just respect me like now, but they will admire me. not just because of the body, but for the dedication and hard work that i made. because is like that!! i know how hard it is because ive live it, working 5 days week, dieting, sweating, suffering, and does so many others reasons for body building, and ive been disappointed too!! like when i stopped growing. I ve realized that i cant doit by my own, i need some one that knows about this better than me, some one whit experience, and follow a specific routine to achieve that dream body, and to get up one day and say, I MADE IT, and i can do anything i want, there is no obstacle, no wall, nothing, this is my world an my life.
once more thank u allot for all this information an work u putted in this, all my best wishes in life and a great happy life for both of you!! (beautiful couple!! seriously!!) PEACE.
J Ignacio lopez, Toulouse France.
Hey Vince this is what I would say. Why I would want to look like something greater then the norm is because if someone see's you in the gym and then a couple months later and you look like a completely different person, they are going to come up to you and ask "how you got packed on so much muscle"? I would say well this genius named Vince DelMonte came up with this idea to tap into your 12 untapped muscle groups that maxims your muscle. And if you want to pack on some serious muscle get his new program.
Hey,Sexy people date sexy people…it's just this =D have fun with ur life =)
Why I want to look something greater than the norm? I am not even the "norm". Out of shape, stomach protruding, small shoulders, thin body, no lats, small chest, chicken legs – I am already out of the norm – unfortunately the wrong side of it. Yes, I want to look better, I want to see myself in the mirror and be proud of what I see! I want to be so proud of my body that when I remove my shirt, I can walk with my head up high. that's being greater than the norm! In my 40s and still looking so out of shape. I want to be healthy for my family too. I want to be a great lover to my wife, inspiring father to my kids and be healthy enough to be with them all the time. I want to skyrocket my self-esteem with a great-looking and fit physique. So why I want to be something greater than the norm? After all those reasons, how can I not want to be? It means huge to me.
Hey Vince
I've got a 10 year high school reunion at the end of the year (how can people be that organised already!!). I know it seems kind of self-centred, but I would really like to have the courage to, first of all to actually attend, and secondly to turn up looking fit, healthy and possibly to put some internal demons to rest with some of my fellow graduates.
To give a bit of a back story, I got pushed around alot (both physically and emotionally) at high school, especially in my younger days. Being pretty thin-skinned, quiet and fairly non-confrontational in nature, needless to say I didn't take it especially well. It wasn't until the last two years of high school when I got some height, that I got some reprieve.
What I would like to do, if I go to my high school reunion, is to go there by making a statement saying "look at me, here I stand after all the crap you did to me, looking better than ever" by going huge and ripped.
If I don't get a copy of the program, all the best to those who get it, as I'm sure you will thoroughly deserve it.
All the best
Brett Young, Brisbane Australia
Hello Vince, and every one else Im Alex Cardona from the bronx,New york
The greatest reason for looking other than normal is feeling better than normal.Some times you don’t realize the good influence you have towards other people( mostly friends and family ) when you look in great shape.Im just going to mention some examples that I have notice true time.I had visited my sister in law a few months ago at a barbecue.And they were stuffing every thing they could find down there throats.A little later we were at the pool,and they saw how I looked they were all ashamed at them selves. They said to them selves ,hey if Alex can do it so can we and a week later they started working out and dieting and now they both in much better shape and also feel better about them selves.I mean every where I go ,people get motivated.At work I have almost every one eating healthier and some even have joined the gym or have some kind of home equipment (especially harry whent all out and got a bowflex).Few weeks ago went to visit some family I had not seen in a little while.And they all went crazy,saying how lean and muscular I looked ,and that they were all going to join the gym or start doing some sort of exercise.The list goes on and on.
Just wanting to look better then normal is just the beginning of a better live for every one.Me my wife and kids no longer sit to watch tv for hours during the day .Now we go out to the park to jog or play and that alone is so much better for all of us. Some people might even think that I am cruel to my kids,when we are at the circus and you ll see all these clowns coming out of no where selling all this shit(cotton candy,jelly beans ,popcorn..etc)and I ll deny them this forbidden pleasure ,which is soo bad for them.I believe that every one deserves to be fit and healthy. No person should be ridiculed for being obese or a little over weight,nor should they be limited to doing the things that most of us love to do like sports, run,climb ,swim or even hang from the monkey bars.One of my favorite shows is the biggest loser, just hearing how much better these peoples lives are by just losing some weight they gain so much more in life.And aspire so many other people.So yea I and every one else deserves to look better then normal ,but some do and some just want to .I hope you pick someone that will put your program to good use.
Thanks Vince for every bit of information you have put out there
Hi Vince. Thank you for offering this!
I want to look and feel greater than the norm, because I KNOW that I can do it! I had done it before. I was a fit, healthy, energetic woman a number of years ago, with a bodyfat percentage of 15. When my long-term relationship ended, due to my ex having an affair – with a bodybuilder (who is married, still is…..) in the gym we worked out in together, I became seriously despondent, and then began avoiding the gym entirely. Then, I began engaging in old, self-destructive behaviours.
I began smoking! I gained 15 pounds.
I am tired of feeling low, and believe that if I began focusing on my body and mind, that I will emerge from this – a changed woman, and return to my rightful place as a fit, healthy, happy and energetic woman. I want to ROCK my world with seeing changes in my body and mind.
I am working at re-discovering my self!
I have decided that I am no longer going to treat myself badly, and am working at quitting smoking. Today, I have had none, and planning on heading out to do a run/walk program of Run 5 minutes/Walk one minute….. I plan on working at building my cardio fitness back up to the level I was at before. I no longer want to treat myself badly, and have filled my fridge with healthy foods; fruit, vegetables and juices, along with a plan to move to a primarily vegetarian diet, with fish, egg whites, beans and rice, as my only sources of protein.
I wish everyone success in their fitness and health endeavours, and will be using this site as my motivation! Keep up the good work!

Vince, For the last 12 yrs I have been shooting to reach my goal of 15% bodyfat, but have never gotten closer than 25% because I wanted to do things right-learn. I created a heart problem with my lifelong exercise addiction/lack of proper eating/sleep deprivation/stress, which nearly killed my unborn baby. Got help for my addictions, which I’m well now & can exercise what is good for my body & do things to support good health. Long journey.
Went through a ton of hardships, but with each one, saw them as opportunities to learn, grow & change, which I’ve totally done. I am not a victim, rather a champion.
Three yrs ago I took drastic measures to leave my corporate engineering job that paid well to pursue my dreams to work from home & raise my children myself. Little did I know that when I did that, my life would be turned upside down. However, through every setback, I embraced that God was showing me areas of my life that needed to change, so this is all a part of it.
I get to own my life, live my dreams with my kids. I want to look the champion that I am! Please help me get there.
Thanks, Doris, Chandler, AZ
I am the hero of my own life story. But do I deserve the role? A hero trains relentlessly for challenges that lie ahead. A hero prepares his will to stand in the face of opposition. A hero presses on, no matter what the cost. A hero strives for highest excellence in all of his endeavors.
My story is still in the writing. I know not where the plot will lead. What I do know is that as the hero, I have a responsibility. The story depends on me: on my choices, my commitment, and my courage. What lies ahead in the next chapters? Time will tell. For now, I must keep on training. I will raise the bar higher. I will contend to be the best I can be, in my simple every day life!
If anyone ever reads my story, I want it to be worth the time. I desire that my life will speak to many, to all I meet- proclaiming that we can excel together for greater heights. Here’s to the hero in all of us!
This program would enable me to take another step toward empowering my story. It would give me the opportunity to develop strength and resolve. It would better equip me for sharing my life with others. Above all, it would give me a chance to prove to myself that I CAN be the hero of my own life story.

This question is really smart I can see the reason behind it. You really want to see how serious we are and how important this is for us. so you want some thing made in the heart called intentions as hard and true they are made the easier and the faster they transport us to our goal its like traveling for 12 month what intentions last through all that time they must be true full enough to not stop until I reached my goal so it starts from in side
-Really it’s about faith in my self that I deserve being above the normal to balance the outside with the inside …..Which no one really knows but me……..
-Its also faith that this is what we are made for developing the inside and outside of ourselves
-Its also about the connection with others (( Appearance effects impressions )) this (appearance reflect the inside)( appearances is a messages) I need this in normal life ( work , fiancé , ……)
It’s also about living easier and safer living stronger means that ….
Also Fulfilling a debt to my body when I wasted it in doing drugs and smoking ……

(Continue)Having a physique that the average Joe would kill for true proper training and nutrition, signifies fitness and more importantly, health. I come from a family where both my parents as well as my sister are obese. When I was young, I was overweight and always short of breath from performing simple tasks like climbing stairs. Physical well-being is one of the most cherished thing I possess as I was deprived of it since my childhood until recent years. Building up slabs of muscles will help me to keep my BMR raised to keep my fat weight low.
Looking greater than the norm gives people an impression that you deserve to have their respect, which is important to me who have very little respect from my peers since young due to the inability to speak in a clear manner. When I was young, I used to be quite easily intimidated. I am the type that follows the orders of people around me and as a result, people tend to push me around. That was despite me being not thin and fragile looking. I was not in good shape either, in fact I was kind of obese. Maybe it is due to my lack of confidence of myself, about my own thinking that leads to me not having the courage to project my voice or to make any suggestions to the people around me. Looking greater than the norm gives me more confidence that allows me to express myself more assertively.
The reason i want to look bigger better than the norm is because I believe that God created every individual different and He talks about how you should treat your body right and honor Him doing so.. Keeping your body healthy is something that the Bible talks about and those reasons
keep me to believe not only do I want to look good and better than the norm but It also helps me in my spiritual life and life out of the gym!! Which helps me feel great and help others be motivated to look good and healthy because it’s not all about you it’s about helping others look good and I think I have the potential to look more than the norm and help others!
Thanks.
Man… so many posts till now…my reason is also my guidence in life,as my good friend says: don't be average! So this is it i don't want to be norm, in anything I do. Happy Easter
Hello Vince! I was 6 foot 3 inches tall and 128 pounds in grade 6 – 9. Being 12 when my best friend from birth passed away with a disease called cystic fibrosis was hard. But being an athletic, popular kid with a best friend who could not eat and digest the proper nutrients which caused him to be extremely skinny and weak was really hard. When he passed away in grade 8, I made a promise to him and myself that from that moment on I would build enough muscle for the both of us. And wanted to help other people who were muscularly challenged. I'm now 21, a personal trainer and I am currently 6 foot 3 inches tall weighing 210. Now i have been researching for over 6 months now, and CAN NOT break this barrier. I know that my friend justin (the one whom passed away) is very proud that i have been able to come this far, and would also feel that i have built more than enough muscle for the both of us. I just feel that i need to push myself a little further. So Vince I am looking to you for that little extra push, because I know all about you and your story as skinny vinny. Please consider my story for this contest. Thank you for your time.

If I had a body better than the norm, I would want to do what you do, inspiring those around you, and even around the world; giving amazing tips as to how to build up your body the correct way. Above that, I may also join a gym as a personal trainer and educate people with your body building methods, and bring your name to greater heights!
It is important to feel better than “average” because by doing so, you’ll have more say in what you do (decision making) and at the same time boost your level of confidence drastically. Moreover, what you say will carry more “weight”, because those who don’t feel better that average will feel inferior to you.
In conclusion, a better body will not just impact you, but also the people around you. Thank you very much!

Hey Vince,
I deserve a better body because I believe everybody wants to feel good. Let’s take for example. If you were a lady on the beach, would you rather have a chat with somebody who looks good or somebody who has those packs united as one / or look like a bamboo stick? This is a very realistic world whereby not everyone would appreciate “inner beauty” more than appearance. Also, I want to inspire others around me to pick up the good habit of exercising regularly and building up. By doing so, I’ll be making my life more meaningful and fulfilling.
Hi Vince,
Yes! I want better than the norm and I strive to do this everyday. I work hard at achieving a lean strong body….currently stuck at progress. I am a 49yr (50 in August!) female, committed to a healthy lifestyle, great nutrition, daily exercise and I also want to be an inspiration to my children and my community. I'm looking for ways to reach out to our very troubled community in the area of nutrition and fitness.
Although many see me currently as having a very lean, muscular female body it really is not good enough for me….I want to move past the norm! Take it to the next level of achievement.
Have a great day!
Dianne
Hi Vince, I want to get a body better than the norm so that it will allow others to be inspired just by looking at my body. Having said that, everyone would feel how healthy am I and will inspire them to feel the same thing towards themselves. Seeing that how healthy a person is inspires another person to be feeling like that and be the same. To ask what I did and how I did what I have done to get a body better than the average. So by having a healthy body, for me is not just to inspire others but to make others feel that they must be healthy as well, that health is the most valuable treasure to keep forever.

I desire to have a better body simply because I was told I couldn’t. I am almost 19 years old and a freshman in college. I have been into weightlifting ever since I was 12 years old and seen a couple of arnold schwarzenegger’s competitions. So I put together my own kind of gym in my room since I was only 12 at the time and couldn’t hit the gym quite yet.
I studied muscle magazines and asked every single bodybuilder and personal trainer I could track down in order to build upon my knowledge of the body. I slowly began forming my own personal workouts and programs to try to get bigger.
I was making good progress until I tore my right rotator cuff. I was told to take it easy on the weights and that I might not be able to lift as much as I could for a long time. But then I hit them harder then ever when I thought I could lift again.
I am still going at it with all I got and I believe that I am doing better than ever. Being the smaller type of guy in highschool, I was a nice target for pricks but now I am a little bigger and do not get bothered. Being bigger than average is something I want to achieve basically because I was told I wouldnt get past a certain size and place in life and THEY ARE WRONG. I hope to get big enough to be a amature bodybuilder someday and start winning a couple competitions of my own. Its something I think I want…to be proud of.
I want to look more than the norm because i am sick of getting sick, i want to get healthy and stay healthy and fit, and not run out of breath too quick. I’m 49 yrs old and when i was at school i was skinny as a stick, so i don’t know why i turned out this way except for the eating. Now when i go to the gym people laugh at me because of my man boobs and large love handles. I was reading a blog about testosterone assisting in getting rid of these problem areas, but i want to do it the natural way. And my body has no testosterone, as i have Klinefelters Syndrome. Over the past 20yrs i’ve bought alot of fitness gimicks that haven’t worked, and i’ve tried alot of health diets that tasted like cardboard or plastic, but to no avail. So i’ve been reading your blogs as well as Joel Marion, Mike Geary and others with fitness and eating tips. I want to get into a good program and stay healthy and be physically fit so that i can help other people.
Vince: I lost my father one year ago and also just lost my mother-in law 3 months ago. Both passed away from Heart Disease! I want to be able to see my kids have kids and enjoy my grand kids.I am 53 years old and I know I can never go back to he way I was( High school and college wrestler) but I sure as hell can change where I am going with your help.
Anyways i noticed people are using their family and living conditions to gain your sympathy. Simply, I’m an 18 yr old who just graduated from school in 2009 and is currently at university doing health science to hopefully pursue a career in personal training and secondary PE teaching. May 3rd is my 6 pack deadline lols (4 pack at the moment). Thanks for everything and just watched your video with your fiancé lols, cute couple. Your definitely punching above your weight

This past 5 months ive listened to your methods of how to train and staying motivated and it already reflected on me. Got stronger, bigger, losing body fat properly etc. I used to kick myself when you critiqued my growth methods but I soon realised growth is a learning process and you literally spoon feeding me new information on a daily basis is the quickest for me to know everything and apply it at the same time, so for that im grateful. To be honest I subscribed as a member on either yoursixpackquest or vincedelmontefitness like a month ago and your helping me so much. I feel so gay honestly, as if I’m proposing to you lmao when your the one with the wedding

For e.g. the way you justified how cardio is the least effective in losing body fat because it burns muscle as well. This made me click cause before i heard of you, my muscles were more bigger and i was more buff but i did heaps of cardio as well. People would tell me "bro what’s going on, aren’t you training anymore, you’ve gotten smaller". I was thinking inside WTF how this is possible, they’re all wrong, I’m right, I know more about these things then them. I convinced myself that i was just paranoid, but after watching your videos on how cardio is ineffective and you go over this topic in a couple other videos as well, I was so pissed at myself.

Hi Vince,
I now have a better body than in the past, due to exercises and eating of isolate protein, but I feel I stopped to grow — I am in a "plateu". I deserve a body better than the norm because I want to inspire others to believe that anyone can win their limits. If one wants, believes and has the right guides, he or she will surely go beyond in every area of life. A wish, faith and a good guide build a winner!
Because i wanna be seen and treated normaly by most people, i wanna be taken into account. Since i'm so small and petite, people never take me seriously and they think being skinny is ok. I don't think just the 'looks' is important. I can be skinny but most of it is just fat, i wanna be healthier and feel good about myself so i can be an example not just to my family and friends but to the people in Chile which are mostly in very bad physical conditions.

Vince- moving into my +50 years of age I want to or acheive my 20 year old physique or as close as I can. I have endured all my life in keeping fit,but as we age things start to become harder to maintain-our bodies. With working out the past 2 years I have noticed that since turning 50 it is harder to gain the mass. I need you to give me back something i once had.
This reward will give me the confidence, and demonstrat to others that there ia way to acheive once again what shpuld not be taken away- but regined with devotion. hard work and from someone like you … a little help..

The human species as we know it today evolved under remarkable circumstances. In the past, strength and inner will were not options but necessities for survival. Evolution has brought into existence many advances from what our ancestors were accustomed to. Unfortunately, the strength and inner fortitude required for success in the past has all but been lost on today’s generation.
We live in a world with everything at our fingertips. Pushing a button orders fast meals, calls friends and family and gives access to just about anything imaginable online. This has been both great and detrimental to our way of life. Many people today have become lazy, overweight and developed the mindset that it is OK to be out of shape and to take their health and wellbeing for granted, shortening their time on this earth with friends and family. Well I say “Fuck That.” Today’s world needs inspiration. People’s lives need to be impacted so they realize health is important, and that the lost strength and inner will of our ancestors is a necessary component to everyday modern life.
More and more I find myself aspiring to be such a person of impact. One who walks into a room and people KNOW I am one who can inspire them to reach any goal. This is my dream – to live life by example, backing up talk of success by being the face of my message and showing everyone that anything is possible with the strength and will to succeed.

I've begun to plateau a bit lately and feel this program could be just what I need to take my body to the next level. My goal one day is to become a personal trainer as nutrition and health science as well as striving to reach the pinnacle in physical condition is what truly interests me. Helping others reach this goal is another aim of mine. I spread your tips to my friends and family with some success, and hope that with added gains to my physical health and appearance they will be even more seriously considered.
I think some of my drive comes from the fact that when I was 15 I underwent scoliosis correction for my back with my curvature being over 50 degrees and now being down to 30 with the spine fused. I want to show my family, friends and even the world that nothing genetically can hold you back by doing things like the Annapurna circuit (2008), climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (coming June) as well as getting into physical shape far superior than the norm. Thanks for all your tips so far,
Nate Clark, Australia
Hi Vince,
I would love the opportunity to get to harness this program. Your story is quite inspirational, and thus far I've found your nutritional and workout tips very helpful. I've put on several kilos from reading yours (and Joels, and Lee Haywards) articles, whilst lowering my body fat and have increased my bench press by 20kg!
I am naturally a skinny person and i am 17years old my college friends are big looking and have a fit boy except for some.When i sit with them in class in one bench i feel very small from both inside and outside , when i said my classmates that i joined the gym and want to look bigger like them they laughed at me and said "you don't have the potential".As your among one of those person who inspired me to try bodybuilding i would really like to get your help.
Hey Vince it's Byanka,23,from northern Ontario!
as a first year police foundations student, and Metis, I have no choice but to have a better body
A better body will change my life tremendously. Wanting to protect my community is the biggest priority and I do need a strong body physically, wich leads to a healthy mind mentally.
I feel I deserve a better body to boost my confidence a little more. applied for Volunteer Firefighter last week(cross fingers!) and they gave me the up and down look as in saying "can that thing save us if were in trouble?" I dont blamethem, I would be the same way…
Its not that I deserve a better body…I just need to keep going to better IMPROVE myself. God made me the way I am, and I can make it better by keeping it in shape and healthy.
better than norm? I would still be doing what I am now, just not struggling as much physically. I love helping people, so having better body will help me help my community. Its very important to me because my community needs me to do my job and everyone want nothing more than to live in a safe community
Hey Vince, how’s it going?
. No bullshit, the 1st time I heard of you was like 5 months ago. I typed something like weight loss, fat burning cardio on youtube, cant really remember but i found a video of you doing 1 of your weight loss programs and how you emphasised that your weight loss programs are far more effective than cardio. Your video was entertaining because of your enthusiasm and slowly i got addicted into watching every single video of yours on youtube. Seeing your before and after pics, I knew you were motivational. The way you back your theories up with your science terminology justified to me that you knew what you were talking about.
Just reading everyone else’s motivational essays, I don’t know how I can compete

Hey Vince and Flavia! First of all I just want to tell you how awesome you guys are, what an inspiration you two are. You two are sharing a life of love, spirituality, physical wellness and even mental fitness! My husband and I are striving for that as well. Thanks to Vince, Iv lost lost 10 lbs, and striving to loose the last 10 to reveal those abs I've been working on. But the main reason I want the program is for my husband. He was on your muscle building program (which i will start soon) and gained 10 pounds of muscle on top of what he had already built by himself…. but then he lost it all on his deployment to Haiti. 18 hour workdays (no time to work out—barely time to sleep) and crappy food that they served him ended up ruining all his hard work. He came back skinnier than Iv ever seen him. Guys at work joked about how he must have been on drugs during deployment. He felt so bad about all his lost weight and size that he even contemplated getting on steroids to blow past his skinny guy genetics. But taking the easy way out isnt our style, Vince. And from what I've heard/read about you monthly series, that might be exactly we need. Being greater than the norm means having the biggest motivation. It means wanting it all — and getting it. And by all, we mean the total package, Vince. The love, the spirituality, and yes, of course the fitness. And that is busting through the norm and making what seems like the impossible, well… possible. Again, you and Flavia are the one of the biggest inspirations for us. Thank you.
Over a year ago I moved away from all my friends and most of my family to Winnipeg. Being frustrated with a lack of familiarity and a social life I decided to start hitting the weights. It was a great outlet for me to really push myself physically and mentally.
Before I started working out I was planning on entering Real Estate and to pursue it as my career. But since then I’ve been looking to challenge myself in each and every way; physically, spiritually, and mentally. I always look now to give 100% in anything I do because of that gym mindset.
I’ve decided now to join the United States Air Force. Rather than selling property (not that there‘s anything wrong with that), I’ll be protecting the rights and freedoms that I’ve enjoyed and taken for granted for my entire life and protecting those friends and family back home.
God Bless,

Hey vince let me just start off by saying you have a great program going on man.. well the reason i want a better body is because im an athlete myself been wrestling for two years and im not the strongest guy out there so its very hard for me to cope with the strong wrestlers.
the other reason is that my relationship status isnt the best and if i got a better body it could help with the ladies as im just to small right now… this will all help me pursue my dream of being a fittness trainer and maybe i could inspire others. thanks for the opportunity

Vince, I'm 55 years old from just outside of Toronto. I don't believe in average. I've never lived within someone else's idea of what I can accomplish. I'm a successful entrepreneur. I've been fit my entire life. In a similar vein, looking for a challenge, I took up karate at 41 and now hold a 3rd degree black belt. I can kick ass if I need to. I teach women fitness and self-defence and I never hold back or slow down. I've never done serious weight training and I'd like to. But not with just anybody, with someone who can show me where to go with it. I'm too old to screw around. I want to do it properly the first time.
I want to be that better person at the end of the journey, i want to be a true inspiration and someone to look up to… so when my kids get older they will look at me and want to follow in my footsteps, that's my dream and i believe that's everyone's calling is to be the best human being you possibly can.
This is my story, you have 1 shot at life and i want to make mine PERFECTION IN ALL AREAS.
Love life guys and girls, dont let knowone tell you No!! You can achieve the "Impossible" If you put your hear and soul into what you believe.
This is a carry on message from my last one Vince i hope this is alright with you, all the best for your wedding.
Good luck guys on your future goals i no you will fulfill them.

Hi Vince, This message is coming straight from my heart, i want to go beyond the norm because i have the power to do so.

I want to proove to myself aswell as my family that it is possible to do what im Going to do, and that is GET the body of my dreams, and most of all the brilliant life. I want to look back when im old and happy and say i done everything i possibly could do to perfect my life and go far and beyond the average person.
.
Im going to do another seperate comment vince because it says there is not enough space, i hope this is alright.

p.s. I had gone into alot more detail about myself and my story but for some reason it wouldnt let me leave a very long comment like several other ppl have so i had to keep cutting it down to make it all fit. I hope i gave you the answer you were looking for with that small amount of info! Im really looking forward to getting to try your new program and see the results that everyone else is getting for myself
. Im tired of bein stuck in a rut that ive been in my whole life not knowing how to get out of. I know that if i can accomplish this goal then everything else in life will seem much more attainable and will truly inspire me to see just how far i can go to be successful in all aspects of life and inspire many other ppl to take the same challenge and do the same for themselves! My motto is winners never quit and quitters never win…& im definately not a quitter. Thanks again, Wade Phelps from Illinios
After many years of neglect at age 25 I woke up and decided movement inspires me, health inspires me.
I decided to get healthy and to begin searching for the physique and movement of dreams…. however my 'genes' appeared to be against me. Super skinny I was called "matchstick" in high school and frequently bullied because I was so slim and unable to fight back.
I began hitting the gym at age 16 and make some progress before other things in life, like partying began to interesting…. that hard earned muscle turned to fat and I looked reasonably normal (only because I was skinny covered in a light layer of fat).
When I decided to eat healthy all of that fat melted off me almost instantly…. and there I was at 6'3" and about 150lbs.
Now I have been moving and training in CST for several years and despite my strength increasing, my physique has been very slow to catch up.
I wish to spread the word about healthy movement, about healthy living. I wish to inspire others to embrace a healthy lifestyle and that what I have to offer is worth something. Unfortunately I know that it is perfectly natural to look at the physique as an example and even though I know I am a lot stronger than I look…. people still see a skinny guy when they look at me.
If I had an above average physique, if I denied my 'skinny genes' their hold on me I would be able to get that message across. They would not be able to help but listen to me because I am the proof that you can build solid, healthy muscle no matter who you are.
I have tried muliple methods to get into shape. Whenever I stop my routines, I go back to my normal weight. I want to do something more than the norm to develop a lifelong mindset, not only in the gym, but in all aspects of my life.
When I look great, i feel great, both physically and mentally. I will be able to excell in the gym, with my wife and in my career.
Vince, I am 52 years old. I have been lifting on and off for the last 30 years. This past year I have been very rigid in my workouts. However, I cannot get up to the level I was 4 years ago. No matter what workout I try, which plan I use, I just cannot get there. Maybe your plan will help me achieve the results I am striving for.
Hi Vince! Im 21 6ft 150lbs. I love challenging myself & i'm always educating myself on all aspects of life…like you say we need to work as hard outside the gym as we do in the gym. In may of 09 i was in an accident resulting in a badly broken leg. I spent most of last yr getting back on my feet going to therapy & the gym to get back the strength & 20lbs i lost after the accident. Although i dont have 100% flexion in my knee now im otherwise back to normal. It was very inspiring to ppl being able to prove everyone wrong when they said id prly never do the things i love ever again. Now im ready to go further to inspire ppl that even after my accident i can go "beyond the norm" & get that body that will make my girlfriend happy lol. I cant wait to become an inspiration not only to the ppl around me but to 1000's of ppl around the world! Thanks for your time & look forward to hearing from you, Wade Phelps from Illinois
'Normal' isn't a word that describes my life so far. But that's okay, because I like to be different.
Moving across the country several times as a child, following my Dad's job certainly wasn't 'normal'.
Being home schooled due to an eleven year life restricting illness wasn't 'normal'.
Quitting a well paid job with a well respected reputation wasn't 'normal'.
Starting a whole new life, new career, making new friends in a whole new city wasn't 'normal'.
To carry on this tradition and complete the picture, I need to be different, be greater than all those other normal people I've left behind in my old life. The one thing that's stopping me is my body, which is currently far less than normal.
So please help me to cross another thing off my life list, by blasting me through my genetic potential. A body that is greater than the norm will give me the extra boost in my confidence I need to achieve all of my other life ambitions.
I've definitely not got a 'normal' attitude, I just need a greater knowledge to compliment it.
hey vince, i have wasted 10 yearz of my life in my own little world of abuzing my body with alcohol and drugz, im in a rehab now and have started to look after my body, i now have the chance to rebuild my life, start a fresh and to take my body past the norm would be amazing for my new found life and rebuild my confidence so i could start a fresh with everything, ie getting a job, getting in touch with my family and basically everyday life, cheerz for taking the time out to read thiz and take care buddy. Steve
Hi Vince. Why would I like to be chosen to win your new program? I have been following your programs for a few years now, and have brought a few of your programs into my library. At 58, as you know it takes a lot more to push through the barriers. I have been doing great since our last contact and am down 20 pounds since the start of 2010 and lost 3 inches on the waist.
The problem is that I am still single and looking for a life partner. However, again, at 58 it is pretty difficult to attract what I am most attracted to, so I still need to breakthrough my plateaus and lose that last 10 pounds. Would love to be chosen to win so I can continue working out with you.
Doug
Hi Vince and everyone else, there's some great posts there, well done to you all.
I'm 41 yrs old and in ok shape but I would like to be in extraordinary shape, so I can inspire my kids,inspire my wife- my soulmate, inspire other parents to be active in their kids lives, inspire people of any age to get into shape and inspire everyone to not be defined by what the world thinks or says is the norm but to aim for the extraordinary and hit it!
Muscle on everyone
Hey Vince,
I am a 52 year old guy in Australia. I was a very sick kid and was born with bad lungs, flat feet and a poor physique.
This affected my self-image very significantly, and I grew up lacking in confidence, even though I was above average intelligence.
At the age of 22 I finally decided to do something about it and started jogging.
However throughout my 30's and 40's the jogging proved to be insufficient to maintain a good looking physique and I developed the dreaded middle-aged spread.
I started looking for alternatives, and your materials have been highly instrumental in motivating and assisting me in increasing my muscle mass, and changing the shape of my body.
This has had a really powerful effect on me and this blog is an opportunity for me to thank you, regardless of whether or not I am one of the lucky 3 to win the prize.
Having been the last kid picked at school for the team sports and lacking confidence with the girls has had a lasting impact on me.
This is the motivation for me to want to look "greater than the norm"
You rock Vince !
Cheers,
Leon.

Hi Vince,
Better than the norm – yes please! Following the advice of yourself and the likes of Joel, Jeff Anderson, Nick Nillson, Romano, Rob Poulus, the large spare tyre round the middle has almost completely gone, nutrition has improved beyond recognition and the muscles are beginning to show.
Now I'm looking to move up a further notch and from what I've read and heard "MYM" could well be what is needed to take me beyond the norm. The young ones would then have a better example in front of them – seeing what can be achieved is far better than being told what needs to be done!
I am proud of what has been achieved so far, but know "inside" that more is possible with the right help.
Regards,
John
Hey Vince,
My name is Sameer and to tell you the truth im fat and weak. I have my mind committed to playing a defensive linemen my high school freshman year. I can only bench probably 100 one time while i know about 5 or 6 kids who can do 200. I sometimes get pick on and have been called fat. Suprising thing is that my big brother does that the most. He shows off his biceps, triceps, and shoulder. I feel bad and for about 30 minutes that sort of pumps me up because i say i wanna look like him to. Im not crying to you. Last time i was skinnny was when i was in 2nd grade. When i go to school i want kids too see me like "Oh my god look at his arms or look at his body." I bet thats what you wanted when you were "skinny Vinny." Im probably one of the weakest guys you will meet but ya know maximize your muscle should get me where i need ti be. When i change no body can call me fat or weak. I can be able to play defensive linemen and get either an IB scholarship or football scholarship. By the way ive hit a pretty big plateau.Have not seen changes in a month or two. Thanks dude for having the time to read my reason.
Hi Vince I’m Diego Morales from Guatemala.
Ok, the reason it’s because I’d like to be different. I have a problem when i speak to a woman, also when I go out I’m always worry about mu little stomach, And when I go to the beach it’s horrible, I have to use a T-shirt.
So I’d like to be in a perfect shape to be happier and more sociable.
I am tired of this yo-yo cycle and I want to stop it for good. I want a great body so I can WOW my Husband every time I take off my clothes and I want to WOW Me every time I look in the mirror. I want to be as healthy as possible and be proud of Me. I think you have a great program and I would love to be involved in it. I would work really hard at it and I know it will work for me.
Hi Vince, I am a 59 year old female who has recently become a certified personal trainer through ISSA. I am struggling to build the muscle I need. I need to look better than the norm so that I can inspire other females to get in shape and to let them know it is never too late. Nutrition and fitness are my life and I want to help others make it theirs!
I'm from La Porte Texas.
Hey Vince, My name is Josh Wiggins. I live in NSW Australia.
Im 17 years old this year and have been playing football since i was five. This year is the first year i will miss out. The reason being, im too thin. I weigh a shocking 57.5 kgs which would be maybe 120 pounds. This time last year i weighed 65kgs. Im sick of being bullied at school and being unable to play my favourite sport. It sucks being smaller then everyone else in my year. I go to the gym 3-4 days a week to train but never get any bigger. I battled through anorexia last year thinking that skinny was good and i was too fat. I now look at my toothpick legs and arms, my flat chest and bony shoulders and wonder why i ever thought this was a good look. I do not know what the fuck i was thinking.
I have promised my body i'd make it become healthy again. I have set the ultimate goal of being able to play football again (need to gain approximately 22 pounds or more). I would also like to look and feel happy and healthy but i obviously need help. Any help that you could send my way would be great.
Cheers
Josh Wiggins

I want to look and feel great because I want my wife and Kids to look and feel great. I want to be a roll model for my family. I already have a great family but I want my children to understand what being in good physical shape does for your mind and body. I want them to live as long as they can and be able to enjoy life for as long as they can. Also I am a police officer and I want to be able to com home each night. It's not like I am in danger every time I go to work but there are those times and I want my kids to know that their dad is safe and coming home. I know this isn't the sob story that others will put down but my reasons are for the love of my children and I think there's no better reason to do something than for your children.

Hello Vince,
I have been following your blogs and products for almost a year now, I have seen some great results and apprecciate all the advice and friends you bring along in your programs. I'm active duty and I use your advices to inspire others on their way of looking good and getting the benefitd of fitness. I train constantly with soldiers who are having difficulties meeting the requirements for the PRT and BW, so your advice which I suse I pass them along to the soldiers. I have taken from various programs and friends good trends for success in fitness and currently getting ready to take the ACE certification for better application of the principles of fitness to the soldiers. I want to continue to use your advices and training plan to help not only myself but the group on achieving the goals for success in their PRT ans BW composition for the demand of our job.
Thanks and see you on ground zero (launch day)

Hi Vince,
I’m short (5 ft 2)… period. I’m tired of being called shorty. Not only I’m short, I have the extra flabiness which qualifies me to be the next Penguin (should there be any sequel to the Batman series). A couple of years ago I discovered Turbulence Training (Craig Ballantyne) and have since shed over 11 kilos of flabiness off my short frame and manage to loose 3 inches of my Penguin waist. Now, 7 months later, I’ve plateaued. Not even TT workouts can get me pass my plateau. I’ve not seen my six pack yet. Worst still, my picture now looks not much different than my picture 7 months ago. Help me Vince. I want to be able to look in the mirror and see a better me. I want to be able to see muscles on my body… not the layer of fat which doesn’t seems to want to leave me. I want your programe Vince. I’m 33 now and I want to achieve greater things in life. I want to have the body I deserved. But, I can’t do this alone. I need your help.
Thanks Vince.
Hi Vince
My name is Ivan I am 19 and I have been a NNMB client of yours for about a year and a half now. I have made very good gains on your program but now I feel its time to push my muscle building potential to the next level! There are a couple of reasons why I want to blow past my genetic potential, here it comes……
I do not have superior genetics when its comes to sports and adding muscle. I have what you could call the"skinny-fat guy genes". Pretty much all my relatives on my mothers side are overweight and out of shape, I had always been told "these are just the family genes"…but I refuse to believe that. I know that genetics play some role in this but I will not just let myself go thinking "well…its just in my genetic code to have little muscle and a lot of fat" and then pass that thought out to my future children…NO WAY! I want to be an inspiration to everyone that its not a matter of genetics….Its a matter believing in yourself, making a goal, being dedicated, putting in the hard work and achieving that goal! I know that blowing beyond your potential is possible and I also believe this is the right program for me to do so, because not only do I want to achieve this inside the gym but also on the other aspects of my life.
I want to be an living example that you can have it all if you are determent enough!
I have the determination and with your help I am ready to go beyond the norm.
hi vince thx for the chance to win your program and to share my story, i just turned 34 since yesterday and i beleive this is the start of the best year of my life so far .im feeling good at the moment but not yet as good as i would like .over the past ten years or so my life went down hill i was mugged n it took the wind out of me i lost my confidence and slowly everything else that matterd to me , i lost contact with all my friends my bissness failed and last year i lost my girlfriend of eleven years i reached the bottom of my hill and tried to wipe my selfout….but even failed to do that .i was admitted to hospital n soon recoverd enough to see that i could change my life and it was worth fighting for im happy again and training hard and looking forward to the future i was once a depressed stoner now im a health freak with your program i know my hard work will reach another stage and my life will change even more i want to feel on top of the world because i was as low as you can be and its a place i never want to vist again..thx for listening ..keith wall
Hey Vince, ove been following you ffor about 3 years now, and im about normally fit, but i am still not happy about my body. First i want to be stronger in real life. I also want a better lifestyle not just a normal healthy lifestyle but beyond my potential because for all of my life i have been about average at things i was never the best at one thing i have always been average, I believe i can be the best at being fit and strong then anyone i know. I know i probally wont win but i just want to let you know how much i want to be better not just average but better, i am currently working out 5 days a week and eating properly no fast foods, no cookies and stuff , i am very dedicated but i believe with your help and your new program i can break all those average barriers, but i know i can, because everyone can beat those average barriers in soccer and hockey etc, i want to be beyong average, i cant afford the 840 dollars but im willing to do anything to be more than average even if it takes 10 years just to know that im better than average.
i could sit here and type all day but its would be annoying but anyways vince have a good day, !
hey vince, changing my body will give me a good physique and amazing self confidence and give me a good look better than being skinny or fat, I deserve I better body because im a lil bit skinny but I started gaining muscle, and got 6 pack abs, but I need to look better ( just like you
) and I would be very happy to really look good because it is one of my dreams, thnx I hope u choose me as a winner =)
(continuation)6 Pack quest..things changed alot,but i want to blow beyond my genetic potential,i need to pack on sum guns that will give me the balls to walk in to a class late and know people are envying and looking at me
..not goin in before the first class and sitting at the back so you dont get noticed and bitched about,mind my langauge..
Body represnts Mind which represents Soul..if you have A body beyond the norm,people know your focused and motivated and all in all that reflects what kind of person you are..average..or one of vince delmonte's mater pieces..i really hope i do get this chance of a life time.May the best man win..but thanx for everything vince.appreciate all
Sajid Vayani, Nairobi, Kenya
i have always grown up following..never leading..listening to what i am told in a family of brothers leading the pitch line in the rugby teams,and in my parents eyes too,..i always felt like i am just like everybody else or below,to be honest living in a house full of (born)ripped people dosent quite give you a reason to smile when you wake up every morning(especially when your not ripped),i mean i am happy for my brothers i love them loads,,,but i also want to be happy for me,i want to have that "beyond the norm" awsum body,i want my dad to be proud of me!!i got your programme..
I am always looking for a challenge . Life is boring when you dont have anything left to do . Even when you have something like a 100 bilion dollars company , you still have to do things here and there . Another reason might be because in my opinion , "avarage" or "normal" equals "the same" , and i dont want to look the same way others do (It would be strange to see 30 or more guys looking exactly like me in the gym o_O) n and i do not only want to be diferent an a way or another , i want to be BETTER , to go that extra mile that some people are too lazy to sprint through.
1: I know it is possible with the right information, guidance and commitment. To date I have had the right commitment, but the wrong guidance and information. I have made (some progress) but I have also suffered as a result of all the mis information there is out there. i.e over traiining, taking suppliments that leave me bloated and out of pocket, conflicting information on diet and how frequent and where to focus my atention. This has resulted in various injurys and has damaged my confidence in the whole body building industry.
2: I believe that body and mind are connected. I believe that having a great body and the journey towards having a great body will increase my self esteem, personal confidence, true fitness and health and will attract many positive things into my life in all areas. Work, Relationships, Friendships. It's all about how you feel about you and when you feel good others feel good around you and good things happen. Lastly and most importantly it will inspire others to do the same. When they ask how I did it I can point them directly to this programme with confidence that if they have the commitment to really want to get somwhere that this info will save them time, money and effort in achieveing their goals as fast and effectivly as possible.

Vince-I hope this isn’t just for guys, because I want to transform too!!
I’m 24yrs old, and while I’m proud to be fit, I’m still not at the KNOCKOUT status that I want to be at. When I was 7 years old I had Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, which included 2.5yrs of intense chemothereapy and 5 years total before being cured. While I’ve never used cancer as being an excuse for not being able to accomplish something, I’ve always felt like I was weaker & slower because of it. Over the past few years thats something that I’ve worked hard to change…running marathons, triathalons and becoming a certified personal trainer. But I STILL feel average. I just trained for my first figure show & came in last, this encourages me even more to find something that WORKS for me so I can shred out & blast my competition out of the water. I want to prove to the world that even if life hands you something 100% out of your control, that only YOU have the power to change yourself and with hard work, anything is possible.

I never believed in the law of attraction until now. Last night, I asked for a new body. I never check my email during the weekend but today something just drove me to hit that Send/Receive button in my inbox.
My first email was this competition that was emailed to me by a friend from whom I had not heard from in a long time. I immediately called that friend and asked her to tell me why she sent me that email. She said it was by mistake. She wanted to send it to another friend who loves to train with weights and even apologized to me for sending it.
I am now certain that this is the program that will change my body and the body of everyone that tries it. As you can see it was not luck that drove me to this program. Far too many strange events took place for it to be a coincidence.
This is the program that we have all been waiting for to change our bodies. If you are like me, you will have tried numerous body-transformation programs only to get zero results. You may have experienced some great results in the beginning only to plateau in the end. The end result to give up in frustration – and back to a body worse than you had before. I want a new body because it is the foundation of achieving flow in my life. Without a nice and healthy body it is impossible to balance my heart, soul and mind. I am not confident to ask anyone on a date because I am overweight. I do not like to go out often in public because I am ashamed of my weight. Is this just me? Does this happen to you also? If so, I am confident that we are in the right place.
The Law of Attraction has identified MYM as the program that will change the lives of everyone that signs up for it!!!
Hey Vinnie. I've been subscribing to your channel for a year now and you, among others, are my source of info for bodybuilding. 2 years ago I was 16 and wayed 211 pounds, I was reeeally fat. Then I decided to be a man and end my misety cus deep down, I didn't feel good. My parents, constantly fighting cus my dad is an athleet and my mother dosnt care about sports, so I alwayes had two sides banging in my head fighting for me. Lose the fat, don't care about the fat! Anywayes, one summer I went on starvationmode. I lost Alot of fat AND muscle. I was not proud of this but I didn't know better and I just wanted it to be done. Then I started lifting weights ans this new body that came through was very appealing to me. This last Year I've been trying to loose my last fat and gain the new muscle but ut has seemed to stop. I'm doing hardcore dieting but nothing it happening. I'm the kind of guy who sits with my chicken in the middle of classes when my friends are staring at me and going, -"Why in the hell are u eathing chicken in the middle of school time"? I alwayes awsner, because I need to eath often to loose fat and gain muscle. A Year has passed now Vinnie! I'm not loosing the fat and my friends look down on me becouse of that. I'm this wierd guy who does these wierd things without any results. I mean Come On!
My motivation is dropping and I'm getting tired of it. I wanna be the hardcore guy, I wanna stand out. Have NO shame in what I do. You talk about busting platoes… I've sat in this platoe for over 6 months now, I WANT TO BREAK IT.
Regards
The reason why I would love to blow beyond my genetic potentil and to really and really have a body greater the the norm are quite simple…before I started working out…I was a pathetic looser…took drugs, dint work, pretty much had no life! Now its been a year since i've started training….I have a house, a car, a beautyfull girlfriend and a wonderfull kid, I've stopped drinking, smoking, and getting high! The bigger and stronger I get, the more I feel like I can do even more with my life! I also think that when you workout…you just CANT set yourself a limit…if you tell yourself ok I want to get big but not more then this or that, then just get the f*** out of the gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings to you from Welland, Ontario. In the last 6 months, I went through some very difficult times in my life such as loosing my job, loosing my boyfriend, giving up my apartment and serious financial setbacks. As a result of all that, my self-esteem plummeted. At times, I felt completely hopeless about my future but with the help and encouragement of friends and family, I have come to the realization that everything happens for a reason. Ever since I lost my job, I have been exploring my options. I have put a great deal of thought into what I would like to do, where I would like to live and who I would like to be. I have always been extremely interested in fitness and nutrition and have looked into training that will provide me with the tools necessary to pursue a career as a fitness and nutrition specialist. I am reasonably fit myself but I know I can do much better. I was told by one person that I am too old to pursue such a career (51 years) and when I heard that, I became even more determined to follow my dream. I believe that winning your contest would give me even further incentive to excel in the field of fitness and nutrition. I would use your program to bring my body to its greatest potential and this would definitely give me greater confidence to work with others and inspire them to do the same. An impossible dream? No way!!!! I intend to do everything I can to get where I want to be in life and achieve my goals. Take care and keep on doing what you do. Your inspiration has made a difference to so many people.
Hi Vince – thanks for giving us this opportunity! I’ve always been skinny, I have degenerative disc disease (DDD) and I’m on disability for depression. I stretch and do some light yoga at home but I’ve never been able to afford a trainer or an amazing product like the ones you offer. Building a healthier, muscular body will help with the DDD and there’s no question it would help with my emotional wellbeing. The end result will be that I will be healthy and will look healthy and incredible, and my friends and family won’t be so concerned about me all the time. I need to show them what I can do and what is possible. And then finally I’ll be able to either complete my masters degree in performance art or rejoin the work force with a whole new attitude.
Thanks!
I don’t want to make anyone feel sorry for me, but I just had an injury a few days ago that will keep me on crutches for about a month or so and walking in a walking boot for about 2 weeks after that. Why even menion this? Well I’m on the basketball team at my high school, and I’ve always tried everything to get better. I’m just not in the shape i’d like to be and this “downtime” I’m having now doesn’t help. I need an advantage to counter (and maybe overcome even more) my disadvantage I have right now. I want a better body to inspire people around me, especially my family. Most of my family is not in very good health, although they are trying to do better. I’m known by my family as a very hard worker, so the results I can get from your program would show them that, if working hard, can definitely get outstanding results. From a social stand point, I also want a better body to have more confidence. As you can see, having a better body would change my life IMMENSELY.
Thank you for reading my entry. Happy Easter!

I want to look like something greater than the norm to fulfill a promise I made to myself. After recovering from anorexia at the age of 18 due to emotional bulling throughout secondary school, I made a promise that one day I would be able to walk into a class reunion and make peoples jaws drop with an amazing transformation and be greeted with a million stares from people who could not believe I was the same person they used to know.
I would no longer be the chubby overweight shy kid in the corner. I would be the ripped muscular 220lb 6% bf bodybuilder with an air of confidence that could not be measured.
I want the people who drove me to anorexia to be so jealous of what I have accomplished that they look back at themselves in disgust (hopefully they will have gained weight and no longer have ripped abs) and feel what I had felt like looking at them.
This is a moment I have thought about ever since I started training and is my main motivation. It is the reason I go to bed at 9:00pm every night and get up at 5:30am everyday, so that I have enough time to get all my meals in and be able to get my workout in when the gym is not crowded.
This may seem strange, but when heavy squatting, I stick a picture of the main bully on the squat rack and when feeling the fatigue and wanting to quit, I just take a look at him, think of what he used to say and to just keep on cranking it out. Sometimes I even have to stop myself.
THIS IS WHY I WANT TO BLOW PAST MY GENETIC POTENTIAL!
Thomas Molloy, United Kingdom
I'm an adult living with Cystic Fibrosis. I stand 5'9" and for years I weighed only 127lbs soaking wet. I was not happy about the way I looked and I had very low self esteem. About a year ago I was told by my doctors that I had to gain weight. This wasn't a request, it was a direct order! I began reading your blogs and watching some of your videos on YouTube. They inspired me to stick with a weight training program that I really hated in the beginning. Now I weigh 155lbs, and my improved self esteem is amazing. I'm no longer self concious about going to the gym and I actually miss the gym on my off days. So, what did I do with this new found self esteem? I took some human kinetics courses and now I'm counselling other people with disabilities on how to get motivated to exercise and to get healthier. Because of the success I've had at the gym, and to now have what I consider to be an above average body for someone with my disease, I have a credibility with others. It's a lot more difficult for someone to say to me that it can't be done because I'm living proof that it can be done!
Matt Putz, Surrey, BC
This journey I strived to take from skinny boy to muscley man was not just about adding pounds but adding confidence. I've never had much self belief whether it be in the gym or in life. This was something that held me back. At that point in my life I new a change was needed. I began to take the gym more seriously and made it a priority. I set myself regular goals and targets. The work I was putting into my weight training and nutrition plan was facilitating my confidence, not just from the visual changes but the new found energy I had. I started feeling more active at times when I'd normally feel tired and weak – this helped me finally take a real part in life.
Now I'm still fully committed to the change I made 3 years ago that helped me live a more spectacular life. My family and friends have noticed the changes in me but I want everyone to see them. As you well know Vince some want to go FURTHER – I'm one of those people. I’ve gave a lot of my life to fitness and nutrition and it seems I've reached a point in my life where I can go no further. I am very hopeful this program can help me reach new heights!

Hi Vince, I am very intrigued by this program you have developed and it is the type of workout guide I (and I'm sure many others) have been searching for.
My gym life began back when I was 16 when my muscle bound friend decided to lend me a helping hand with my fitness. I was naive in my early days, often hitting the bench press everyday and not bothering to train my legs. You see, not too dissimilar from your situation, I was also pretty skinny mainly due to my running and football (soccer) background. After many months spent in the gym my endeavors showed minimal gains. I decided that if I was going to continue on this gym route…it was going to be done properly. I wanted to turn heads!
(continues on next post….)
I'm on a mission. A quest to create the body I always said I'd have – but from which procrastination and complacency took over. I've already started my quest and am struggling to see results – yet I will continue…
Your programme would help me enormously I'm sure, but whether I win or not, I'm determined to make this happen… this time. My son is 5 and I am 41. My wife and I lost a baby last year and we are trying again. I realised that a healthy body will help the process and also give my son inspiration from his father – now and in years to come. He has inspired me more than anyone else and I want to be here on this earth for as many years as possible to aspire to be the best father to him that I can. The complexity of learning what seem like the simplest of tasks are brought back to life – he heard me whistling and he practiced and practiced and now he whistles. He saw me riding my bike and so he practiced and practiced and hey presto! I was so proud… I'm not saying he should come to the gym with me LOL, but he has asked to learn the guitar and take up karate – so he is my inspiration – to conceive, believe and achieve.
I joined the Volunteer Fire Service when we came to New Zealand from the UK and that's another reason for reaching peak shape and fitness. Not only for the nature of the job, but also because we take part in a lot of fund raising and will soon be running up Auckland's Sky Tower for Leukaemia and Blood Foundation.
So, here's my entry to you. I admire your achievements and would appreciate the chance to make them mine.
Yours in training,
Jonathan, New Zealand
Vince, Just over two years ago I was kick boxing four times a week, (competetively), running and weight training. Very fit and very vain.
Then the bomb dropped. I was diagnosed with congental heart disease, had a pacemaker inserted and have been on crazy drugs ever since.
To say I felt sorry for myself is an understatement. I got into things I shouldn't have and lost my way completely, becoming estranged from my own son.
However, my wife stuck by me and some time ago I hit on your website. To say I look and feel terrific is a bigger understatement than the previous one, and this is after a few short months!
Today, I met with my son and he was so impressed with my new appearance and demeanour. We are now back on track to having a great relationship, like before.
I really need to be 'greater than the norm' in order for me to be my son's hero once again, and looking at what has happened to me by using your training tips so far, well…..the world is my oyster!
Even f I don't win, thanks so much.
Hi Vince,
Ever since being a 'Bean Pole' in high school and watching my muscular classmates
enjjoy getting the hot girl in class I've thought….What can I do different in the gym, in life,
to get that kind of muscular body. Not just the body, be able to use it for vollyball on the beach,
enjoy my awesome looking body….especially using it to attract those knock out girls.
Fast-forward to today…been hitting the gym, been doing the RIGHT things now, and have gone from a paperweight size of 130 lbs. to 150 fit pounds and dropped 12.5 lbs of unwanted fat. However, that ultimate goal: being an inspiration to my friends, to others who aspire to get that 'Dream Body' is my goal…..that and getting the girl of my dreams too
Greedy ~ I prefer to think of it as going after a Life goal and not just getting it but ….Enjoying it ….Enjoying the Life it will create and the potential it will unleash within me as I attain it.
Vince, the method in attaining my goal…Using MYM , while being a Living Inspiration to everyone, and showing it's NeveR to late to Live Your Dreams !!!
All the Best to you Vince !

I want to be better than the norm and always have so your question is not new. I am a female officer in the US Army. In this male dominated environment women must always be ready to go that extra mile and lead from the front. Fitness is not just about the respect but it is about being ready and it can be a matter of life or death for me or one of my Soldiers. I am not a slouch, and can "max" my fitness test. I'm more fit than the average woman in or out of the military. It would be incredibly awesome to follow your program and become even better than the military norm in an environment where fitness is already better than the norm!
Hello Vince!
Before I started your No Nonsense Muscle Building program last year I was a skinny guy who never had a girlfriend, was failing college course after college course, and never had a proper job. So you could say I was an all round failure in life. But since starting your program I have had one girlfriend which didn't work out, I'm still failing my college courses and still haven't had a proper job. But at least I have a bit more muscle, I'm that bit more confident and my lifestyle is closer to where I want it to be. And I thank you for that.
So what I want now is to take that further, get to the very best I can possibly be, and extend that to all areas of my life. Because I know I can achieve great and amazing things, and maybe even inspire others along the way.

The answer to the question is, "Why wouldn't you?"
Seems like to me that I've already presented the main idea in previous sentence, why wouldn't anyone in this world that we live in, where image and the way you look is as important as waking up in the morning, like to look good.
Maybe because they do not have time to work out regular, or because they are convinced that they're "hard gainers" or anything that draws them away from working out. This all can be true, but if they would have will to get to a point or to achieve something they wouldn't be so lazy and they would get over any obstacle in their life.
That's my opinion, so yea, "Why wouldn't you?"
Its good to look great, but what drives me is a more serious than just phsyic. When I was growing up a friend of mine struggled with a serious addiction to drugs. As his battle got worst and worst I watched as the destruction of drugs took a plague on his family and myself. Flirting with death, my good friend beat the impossible, but not until he had survived the trenches of addiction.
This situation is what drives me and im not bullshiting anyone. Endurance training has been my specalty in the past. From Navy SEAL 36 Hour Challenges to 5k gut checks, but i feel like the tables must turn. Which brings me to a new physical appeal. Not for the popular vote, but to possibly save lives. They say “Dreams are what make life tollerable” and at times I would totally agree, but my dreams might take my life if im not prepared. For me, body appeal is more then just “eye candy” for the opposite sex. It boils down to this, wanting to send a message without saying anything. Not to be the bully, but the gladiator by “preaching and when necessary using words”.
I believe having a great body is awesome, but given different situations it could save lives. An Army Ranger once told me “Be Humble”. Thats why I believe humility and mental toughness should and can come with completing these programs. Hear is something we can all think about, “Humble warriors eat humble pie”.
As someone who is no longer young, I'm finding every year to be more of a challenge to put off the affects of aging. Mental fitness and physical fitness are areas where effort provides rewards and both make a dramatic difference in where I am now, and where I hope to be in 10 years. I know the foundation I lay now is what my future will be built on. To that end I know i would find the MYM program to be a valuable tool in my arsenal. I already have a workout routine that is moderately successful but like all works in progress, improvement is not only possible, it's necessary. Young people often fail to recognize the value of youth in a fitness routine. As you get older it requires three times the effort for 1/4 of the results. It can be a source of constant frustration and the need to find the proper motivation is key. I find your videos to be very informative and inspiring and I'm sure this program will be as well.
I would like to look like something greater than the norm because I wasn't physically gifted genetically to begin with. Being fully grown at 27 years old, I stand only 5'1, 117 lbs. My size doesn't currently command respect, but my attitude already does. I believe in the power on the mind to overcome almost any obstacle and with your program and my unabated effort people will not only respect my character, but will be in awe of my spectacular, ripped body which will act as proof and inspiration that if someone of my stature can achieve such great physical prowess they too can achieve the body of their dreams. It would help bring more of my presence into a room and allow others to pay more attention to my ideas and advice which will help bring my purpose of making the people of this world healthier and more educated about healthy lifestyles and choices a reality. I feel you have to live it to preach it and I would like to be able to act as a model for health and fitness and not just be a short, skinny guy who talks about it.

Hi Vince,
I want to go beyond the norm and that is just for 1 word: RESPECT!
Respect from my girlfriend, respect from my friends, my work, my mom…and the most important thing..respect for myself. I want to get rid of that fatty/skinny image, i want to achieve things in my life that noboby thinks i can do. And one of those things is going beyond the norm and getting RESPECT!
Thank you
Purely to go to the furtherest edge of the furtherest edge of who and what I am ! I just turned 38 and its on my bucket list before the big 4 0….if I can do it anyone can.
I never believed in the law of attraction until now. Last night, I asked for a new body. I never check my email during the weekend but today something just drove me to hit that Send/Receive button in my inbox. My first email was this competition that was emailed to me by a friend from whom I had not heard from in a long time. I immediately called that friend and asked her to tell me why she sent me that email. She said it was by mistake. She wanted to send it to another friend who loves to train with weights and even apologized to me for sending it. I am now certain that this is the program that will change my body and the body of everyone that tries it. As you can see it was not luck that drove me to this program. Far too many strange events took place for it to be a coincidence. This is the program that we have all been waiting for to change our bodies. If you are like me, you will have tried numerous body-transformation programs only to get zero results. You may have experienced some great results in the beginning only to plateau in the end. The end result to give up in frustration – and back to a body worse than you had before. I want a new body because it is the foundation of achieving flow in my life. Without a nice and healthy body it is impossible to balance my heart, soul and mind. I am not confident to ask anyone on a date because I am overweight. I do not like to go out often in public because I am ashamed of my weight. Is this just me? Does this happen to you also? If so, I am confident that we are in the right place. The Law of Attraction has identified MYM as the program that will change the lives of everyone that signs up for it!!!

Im a UK based personal trainer and have running my business now for 3 years – I absolutely love it! HEALTH AND FITNESS IS MY PASSION. 4 years ago i was overweight and in a shit dead end job, but i still liked to run – jesus i thought the answer to everything was slow cardio, yet i was still FAT. I decided enough was ENOUGH, I wanted to learn how to get lean and in the process help others do the same. I enrolled on a PT diploma, people around me said it was risky, id never do it, I IGNORED THEM. 4 years later im 4 stone lighter and love each day,helping people achieve their goals. BUT I WANT TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL VINCE, I WANT MORE MUSCLE, INSANE STAND OUT MUSCLE, I NEED THIS PROGRAMME BUDDY. NOT ONLY WILL IT HELP ME IT WILL BE PASSED ON AS KNOWLEDGE FOR THE GOOD OF MY CLIENTS!!!!!!!! Like you im getting married this year to the girl of my dreams, shes 8 years younger than me and i want to be the best i can be not only for myself but for her too……
Unfortunately most people reach a point in their life where they stop to have that felling of getting better every day. I don't wanna be one of them. I wanna get better(more intelligent, stronger) every single day. And i am ready to put a lot of work in this little but powerful thought.
Because it's worth it.
Dominik Muttenthaler / Austria
having a better body will make my life better because it will help me "start fresh". I am nineteen years old and went through anorexia my whole high school career, and I still have relapses. I feel fat whenever I eat and then do not really eat anything if I don't work out. I have created a copulsion to exercise everyday. If I don't, then I fall into a depression and isolate myself so I won't eat.
A few weeks ago, I also had a pulmonary embolysim (A.K.A a blood clot in the lungs) so now I'm on blood thinners and unable play softball and soccer, my destressers besides working out, for at least until september.
having a better body will allow me to look at myself and say that there is something to say that i was able to accomplish despite my anorexia and blood clots.

Hi Vince
being muscular has an impact on everything in life
the way you carry yourself,the vitality and last but not least it boosts your self confidence
there is no con when your fit and ripped
Why Do I Want a body greater than norm?? No Vince, I ABSOLUTELY NEED a body greater than norm. Your guidance has absolutely changed my life. I am a 17 years old Chinese immigrant to Canada with no background in sports. My interests in programming and math have been repelling social people ever since I came to Canada and all my friends have been studious Asians. Standing at 5'11", my 180lbs body a year ago was not like that of skinny asians that comes to your mind. Instead, I was full of skin; my body had a protruding belly and wobbly roll shaped arms.
OK Vince, I feel honoured to have a chance to have my write up read by you so I will cut the miseries of my "below norm body" and I'll skip to describe my change. A fellow studious vegetarian Indian guy changed my life a year ago by introducing me to the gym. He also just started working out due to self esteem issues and I was very inspired by his 40lbs gain in few months. If he could put on mass as a vegetarian why can't my unathletic self do it. He directed me to Arnel's and eventually your videos which transformed my life. People have been amazed by my transformation. By following your workouts religiously and incorporating veggies I realized the NEED of a great body.
Within 6 months I lost a lot of body fat and gained solid muscular definition. Thanks to you, me and my Indian friend have inspired a lot of geeky friends to work towards their dream body with real world results. I never even dreamt of having a six pack and now my six pack is bringing others to gym. Your seven exercises to boost metabolism has given me greater all natural results than friends on expensive supplementation and made me realize the necessity of a great body. I gained a lot of self confidence. Its almost as though people started noticing me. It even gave me the courage to ask out my beautiful crush to the grade 12 senior sail and I owe my success to my new body. I am now nicknamed "RIPPED FREAK" and "BRUCE LEE" by friends. Popular classmates now notice me and talk to me. THANK YOU!!
With only two months left for my Grad, I just stepped it up. I have dedicated myself to doing intense workouts daily to have a godly body like yours. My new beyond norm body made me a somebody from a nobody. Your give away is more valuable to me than a lotto prize considering how much influence you already have in my life. Friends, even those in my Calculus AP class, look up to my results and come with me to workout and I feel it a duty to pass on your knowledge. I hope you dont find it creepy, but we discuss about you quite a lot for inspiration. I am pulling out a recent MSN chat conversation to prove this:
(10:16 PM) Samarth: did u see vinny d's new video
(10:16 PM) JLu: yeah my idol Vince Del Monte!
(10:16 PM) Steve: yea
he is my hero
(10:16 PM) Samarth: he is like "fuck that"
(10:16 PM) JLu: yup
(10:17 PM) Steve: Vince Del Monte – If you want to soar with eagles don't run with the turkey.
So, now we all just say 'F*CK THAT' to all our obstacles and work towards a great body to change our lives. Sorry for a long ass message but its hard to cut it with such close to heart matters.

Hi Vince & Flavia,
I deserve a better body then the norm because I need a good looking functionally strong body to meet my goals (career, social service) and leave a everlasting first impression on the people I meet with. I am from India and am going for the last several years to the gym regularly, however I have not meet anybody yet who can give me the a workout that pushes the envelope in the correct way.
I don''t know wether your programme will do that for me but the biggest tragedy in life is not to experience something….So I would like to experience this programme and share my results with everybody…. in short be your brand ambassador in this part of the world.
Stay cool…
Vishal
PS: Both of you look great together
It’s simple. I need to get as strong as
possible, and look it – as I’m joining the police next year, and want to be able to best effectively serve the community.
Hello Vince and Flavia! First off I would like to say that you two are very inspirational and motivational people and God has blessed us to have such people trying to help other people out. That is what fitness is all about. I have been training for about two years now and look forward to learning new techniques that would help me get over the edge. The main reason why I would like to be prviledged with the program is that I come from an overweight family. We have a history of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart attacks. With your help, I would like to give my family and friends the knowledge to better their lives and put a halt to my family's health risks. I want to be able to inspire and motivate them that they can achieve a better body and a healthy lifestyle. Their health means so much to me and if given the right tools, I would be able to help not only my family, but my friends and anyone else who needs the assistance to achieve something greater in life. So if you give me the opportunity to get your program, I would take full advantage of it by going 110% everyday and make great use to help out my family, friends, and my community.

Why would anyone want to go beyond their norm? How about because you CAN. I’ve always been one of those people that believes anything is possible if you really make up your mind to do it. If someone says I can’t do something, that motivates me even more just to prove them wrong. But, it all starts in your mind. If someone is an alcoholic, or a drug addict, no amount of medicine or therapy can help them unless they make up their mind that’s what they want. if you want the perfect body, you’re going to have to break more than a little sweat. You can’t wish your way to your goals. You have to make them happen. If you’re not willing to put in the effort, why waste the time? It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
hi vince
i want a better body because its been 15 years weight lifting and i feel im going no where,ive always want a better body then the norm just because of self convidences to feel much better about my self.
The problems with most gym is that their start you off with a workout plan but never chance it or follow up on it,this means that you always doing the same stuff day in or out.Ive been wanting a amazing body since i was young.Also by having a better body will give me strenght in kickboxing.By using Maximize Your Muscle it will help me achrieve the goals ive sent ages and give me that strickness to train even harder.The problem with working out on your own is that you don't have a partner to train with, to push you further to the limit to achrieve your goals.Maximize Your Muscle with be like a silent partner with you, giving you the right tasks to do to help you achrieve your goals.Its also hard training here when you don't know had to get bigger without using supplements,I hoping that Maximize Your Muscle will give you that training without using supplements.My main aim bigger stronger and flexable.
thanks sharif
Hey Vince, i want to look greater than the norm so i can be greater than the norm in all walks of life!! Mainly so i can be as positive as i can be and spread the good positive vibes to family and friends instead of been frustrated by hitting platues and not being able to progress. I no you gotta lot to read Vince, so thanks for a shot at it! . Clayton o Donovan. Co. Cork. Ireland.

In the words of the late Jim Rohn : '' Success is not something you pursue, success is something you attract by becoming an attractive person. It's something you attract by becoming an ATTRACTIVE person. In other words, you don't pursue success, like chasing a butrterfly and you can't quite catch it, it's something you attract.
And another Jim Rohn quote . '' If you change, EVERYTHING around you will change ''. I think it's pretty obvious now why everyone should strive to having a better body, because it is very simple :
better body = better life.
BEYOND THE NORM..
Well, normal is what this society is all about. Trying to make us believe that we should be all the same, look the same, feel the same, and never aim for something higher.. i dont believe in that !!
I've been thru a lot in my life, i had it all, and i have also experienced what it is to have nothing.. the greatest lesson i took from it was that i can only trust myself, my abilities and my inner strenght to cope with the obstacles in this life.
I believe that a sane mind is directly connected to a sane body, that we must have a balance between them, and that we all have inside of us the capability to get wherever we want, if we can really focus on it. So, why should i be happy to be just normal, why shouldn't i want to go beyond that, to get what i want, to be what i want, and to get the respect i deserve ??
My body is my temple, my greatest treasure, so its my mission in life to treat it in the best way tha i can.. so that in the end, i can get to a higher place then i started in, breaking thru what society meant for me, to be just normal.
You can only be well with other if youre well with yourself, you can only get respect, if u trully respect yourself !!

I want to look beyond the 'norm' because, I want a fabulous body, I want people gazing at me, I want people asking me how I got a magnificent body and I want to enjoy all the benefits of having a great body. At the moment I'm just above average, I want to be Beyond Average and sky rocket my metabolism and my self esteem. I love the beach, its one of my favorite places to be, but I when i take my shirt i feel kinda embarrassed, I don't want to feel that anymore I want to proud and feel accomplished. I work out 3-4 times a week and its taken me more than 5 years to get to what i am now, i feel as if im getting nowhere. When I read your story and many other peoples stories I felt that I too can Achieve what I have always wanted to achieve.
Thank you for reading
Happy Easter!

In the 2 years after saying, "Fuck That" to everyone who wrote me off, and the people who knew of my dream to play football and told me to give it up, I gained 50lbs of muscle and overcame my asthma – I made the varsity football team as a receiver and corner. At 5’10, 165lbs and free of the imprisonment of my asthma anything seemed possible.
I had accomplished my goal but I was nothing extraordinary – after all that I was nothing but Average. That wasn't good enough – I needed more. However, upon reaching 170lbs my progress came to a screeching halt. I’ve spent the past 5 years at 165 -172 with a bodyfat of 9-12% and nothing I’ve tried will work. At this point I’ve all but resigned, and flirt with the idea that I have reached my genetic potential. Maybe gaining 50lbs of muscle is all that someone like me can hope to achieve.
It is my hope that MYM is the answer to my prayers. That it will help me blast past my genetic limitations and achieve what has started to seem impossible. That I will be able to regain my confidence and achieve greatness in other areas of my life. As a PE teacher, a coach and a personal trainer I feel like a fraud and a poor role model not being able to achieve my own fitness goals. It is also interfering with me finding my Flavia. A woman with a great personality, who is intelligent, fun and of course beautiful.
Vince, help me do it again. Help me say, “Fuck that” to my genetic limitations and achieve what seems to be impossible.

Hello Vince,
A couple months ago I ran into my old Volleyball coach at the grocery store and instead of a "hey how are you?" I got a "What happened to you? You let yourself go." After that I really did some thinking and he was right. I did let myself go and I am the only one to blame for it. Yeah I work a stressful desk job but that shouldn't be an excuse to let myself go.
I came to the conclusion that I want to be confident in the way I look. I want my family and friends to be proud of me. Especially my mother who for years have told me to look after myself. I'm the last sibling in my family that isn't married and even if I say I'm not interested, deep down I do want to find someone and a body beyond the norm will instill confidence I never really had before.
Like I said before, having that body beyond the norm instills confidence in yourself and in your peers because when they look at you, they will see someone who knows what they want and follow your lead. From the bar to the boardroom having that confidence will help you achieve success and that is what I hope in the future with your help to accomplish.
Larry Trinh, Orange County California
Hi, i train with kettlebells and I'm lean and strong. Now i want to reach the next fitness level.
I want to prove my fat colleagues (allways saying "you have just good genetics"), that it is possible to change, that it is not only my genetics, that there's no magic, that they just have to start moving their asses to look better, to feel healthier.
At the moment, they still don't believe me.
Also I will prove myself, that it is possible to get a sixpack at an age of 35.
So let me be one of the happy three.
Blacky
Sorry for making english mistakes. I'm a german guy. But i'll improve.
Why I want to look like something greater than the norm? Because I AM greater than the norm. When others rest, I train. When others are out having fun, I train. When others train, I train harder! I believe I really deserve this opportunity and trust me when I say it won't go to waste. I've doing Final Phase Fat Loss for some time now and soon I'll jump into Double Edge Fat Loss and the next step is building muscle way beyond my genetic potential. And you're the man for that. And I'm your man for hard work and dedication. You guys inspire me and I want to inspire others but most importantly, I want to be the best I can be; not based on genes but hard work…
Hey Vince. I’m Marcelo, 16 years old and i’m from Brazil. I’ve been followung your blog and videos for almost a year. All your material has inspired me a lot in the pursuit of a better body. I want to share my story because i hope it will help someone to get a healthier life. I was always a chubby boy, in fact, very chubby. When i was 14 i weighed 110 kilos with a height of 1.78 meters. But in the Christimas of 2007 i decided to get thin and to show everybody that i was able to be thin and healthy. So i started to swin 1 km a day for a month, and when it rained i would run 5 km in the treadmill. I also entered a very strict diet, i would feel dizzy and weak after my workouts due to the lack of food, but i wouldn’t quit. Then, six months after i was with 68 kilos and addicted to dieting, i couldnt stop losing weight, all my family was worried with my health. So i started lifting weights to
get more muscular , but as you i couldnt gain any weight and sometimes , i would get thinner.
But i entered your blog by chance one day and i started to follow your advice, after a lot of hard work specially eating a lit of food, i was able to gain a lot of muscle, and now i weigh 82 kilos with about 10% body fat.
I want to win your MYM program because i dont want to be just a regular musclehead with some muscle, i want to be as big as possible, and not only that, i want to inspire my family and friends to get a better and healthier body, specially my brother who has a body just like i had when
i was chubby. Thanks for the attention Vince and sorry for the blocks of text but i’m writing on my phone and its very hard to use paragraphs.

You guys MUST have kids! Flavia is a cutie! Vince, have her in your workouts from now on!!
Hi Vince, I’m Manny and I’m from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
For a 51 years old like me, sorry to say, I was thinking that developing a big symetrical body is as good as a dead turkey, until I ran across your website through Mike Geary. Reading your articles and watching your videos made me fantasize that I am that guy that every woman would have dream of dating with, of course that includes imagining that I am still less thirty..LOL. Kidding aside, even if I am 51, I still love to see myself wearing that physic that will be a head turner in beaches and in any parties. I know I will be able to live longer and give quality times for my family. And who knows, maybe one more kid in the family will be the greatest reward that I can have if I happened to have that body that I have been dreaming since then, even if I am 50 plus.
Hey Flavia and Vince,
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding.Flavia,you are adorable and Vince what can i say except that your before and after pictures prove that you walk the walk after the talk…..
I do have a lot going on in my life that i need to "clean up" and i am doing that with Dr. Joe Vitale ( i got accepted into his PROSPER online course)and Bob Proctor.
I have been with Craig Ballyntyne for 2 years now and i love his programme.I have also been with Joel marion for 6 months and i gotta tell you that the positive changes i have seen in my muscle tone are great coupled with the loss of cellulite….(Flavia you can relate to this gal !)I love Joel's programme too cos i love to Indulge once in a while and with CYWT i could do it on Sundays and still keep the weight off….
But i BELIEVE i can MOVE BEYOND MY GENETIC POTENTIAL and PROVE MY MUM WRONG when she says"you are born with that A** and those thighs.You will never lose it".I already have knocked off 2 inches off my hips and thighs respectively in 3 months but now i want TO SCULPT my body and shock myself and friends and DETRACTORS.I am and 31 yrs old an actress and Singer/composer and i HAVE TO LOOK GOOD but more importantly THIS MAKEOVER will make me FEEL GREAT and give me immense inner strength and help me grow as a performer and entreprenuer(I teach EFT and Pranic healing) I believe all things are possible through Christ and 2009 has been a MIRACULOUS YEAR FOR ME-I burned my arm and shoulder(will send you pix-before and after)but with my unshakable faith and my energy healings i have healed 99%.My Doctor is astonished.
So i want to WIN this to PROVE TO MYSELF THAT I CAN and I WILL.in 6 months i will have the sculpted body i am worthy of……So help me out here,Vince……..God bless you both….
For my whole life i have settled for the norm, not just looking normal but being normal. During school i was nick named mister average because i got the same C grades for every single subject i did.
When i left school i got an average job which paid average money and i spent years excepting that i am just average and there is nothing which i can say that i achieved to make myself proud or my family proud of me.
I have always struggled to gain muscle and look good and i believe that with the help of your program you can show me the way to becoming something better then average. My family and freinds are the same as me and its true about what you say in your videos about the same people attracting each other.
I believe that if i can change my body and my life then i can influence my friends, family and people around me into making a change.
I am 26 years old and feel that i have wasted 26 years settleing for last place, its my turn come first and live life to the max with maximize your muscle
thank you
My name is Janet Darbey and I live in Greece. This year I will be 55 years old. I returned to bodybuilding two years ago thinking it was now or never. I have lost an incredible four stones of blubber. Now I want to look greater than the Norm, I want to go up onstage at a bodybuilding show and look incredible for any age. I am just twelve weeks or so away from that conditioning. Your advice and help will get me there. Prepare to be amazed!
for many years i have been working out at first i gained a solid 15 pounds of pure muscle that alone made me much more explosive and quick which does me a lot of good because I'm a pure athlete. currently i am 165 and 6 feet tall i cant gain any more muscle then that. Ive tried everything drop sets and giant sets super sets and full body workouts you name it i have done it. the reason i want to gain muscle is for i can start becoming a better at basketball and mma fighter. sports are pretty much my life i live pretty close to a perfect straight edge life style. for basket ball gaining strength will give me the ability to jump high and father and be a quicker more agile player. for mma it will add a big edge to my ability because im a ground fighter it will give me more explosive and powerful take downs and give me more strength to over well my opponents on the ground and either submite them or pound there face with more power full punches
Okay, here's my story: I was a chubby child, a heavy teenager and annorectic by the time I graduated from high school, slided into bulimia and gained weight back on. Believe me when I say that I have really been trough it all and tried everything. Now I think I'm on the right way. I want to look the fittest and healthiest ever in my life. I lost a lot of muscle with all the weight, but I think I'm on a good way of building some muscle again and I want to lean out, but without starving myself this time! My life changed a lot and also my priorities. It's not all about being thin anymore. It's about being fit and healthy, being able to move around and just have fun. Of course I want to feel sexy as well, but that's not the main thing anymore. I'm a poor student, I can't even afford a gym membership. I work out in my tiny dorm room or somewhere outside if possible, but I'll do all it takes. And it feels so darn good!! Nothing can stop me now!
Going through all this information that's out there (and unfortunately trying a lot of BS out on my own body!) I can honestly say that I trust you! I trust what you're saying and I believe in your knowledge, determination and dedication. It's much appreciated!
Lots of love from Austria, Europe! And all the best wishes!

I just came by to say Hi and wish you luck picking the winner. I already found my way and am happy with my body 
plus I never win these things anyway 
P.S. You two look so cute together, like two little fluffy birds in love
P.P.S. so love you crash and giant sets from NNMB
Why do I want to look better than the norm?
There are a number of reasons.
1 – Im tired of being the geek. All through high school and beyond I was a thin, dweeby kinda guy. My friends were the same, and none of us got any attention from the fairer sex. Life was about not standing out, not being noticed, by women or by men. Not fun!
2 – Now that I am lucky enough to have an awesome girlfriend, I need to be the best I can be for her. She could have anyone she wants so by working out I am re-affirming my belief that I AM THE MAN, and that therefore she is doing well to be with me and not just settling!
3 – You never know what life may throw at you, as the cub scouts would say "Always be prepared". Being ripped, and bulky is my way of doing that. A while back a friend of mine was assaulted in the street. Fortunately I was around, and was able to go and put a stop to it, and he came out of it with nothing more than a black eye – where he could have had a broken jaw or worse. Would I have had the balls to do this before? Not even close! Being better than the norm promotes me to think better than the norm in all that I do…

Learned a lot from past, I can definitely say that better body will change my life. My all friends like good look and they all impressed by great personalities and I do not want to lag behind. I deserve a better body because I already got good look. People already get attentive when I pass through but what if I go in swim suite and my body is not that well-sculpted. People will remove eyes from me and savor the beauty of others. Besides the people, if I become more specific then “my love mate” and “I” will involve in relation very intensely if we both have elegant appearance. Again scripture talks here that love arouses one level above if both partners are beautiful from all aspects. For me intense love works as elixir and make me worry-free. For all these reasons I need to acquire good body. If I had a better body than the norm then I would be most lovable person in my friends. I can deeply involve with my heart content for “a” above reason. Perhaps I would be model and make arrangement for my earning. To recapitulate, it is important for me to look and feel better than just “average” to RECOUP my confidence level and progress in my life.
Elegance of personality and look is described from past, there are tons of pages that talk about great personality, appearance and behavior. The perfect example of personality described and ever taken from story is “Hercules”. I have read many scriptures and they all talk about the importance of physique and beauty and also every culture and every country do. Scriptures also mentioned that having great physique along with great behavior makes someone feels the “out of the world person”. And I want to be the same by maintaining my physique.
Hi Vince
There may be many lapses in my response but still I have tried to answer.

Vince,
A superior physical manifestation of an individual does not only demonstrate that that person is persistence, admirable, respectable, attractive, and a role model but also that the person is extremely happy and most likely successful. We all live a life, and the goal in life of everyone is to become a better person whether it be by gaining more knowledge, acquiring experience, or getting a better job, we all live TO BECOME BETTER PERSONS. Committing oneself to a intense muscle building program is the perfect way to becoming that better person in all the important elements that humans have trouble following; being persistent, not procrastinating, being responsible, being positive, setting goals and more importantly TRYING ONE’S BEST TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE GOALS. Therefore, a human that possesses a superior and dazzling physique proves to be someone with great attributes; that person gains automatic respect and always feels well about him/herself.

What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail? Robert Schuller quotes that. Its a quote, in form of a question. I am only 35, Male, based out of India. I do pretty well for myself being a banker by profession. I got my experiences, some good, some bad and then the beautiful ones. My quest for a younger looking and feeling body, heart and mind began when I found my soul-mate in a 23 year young beautiful woman. When we decided to take this journey till its natural end, I made a promise to my fiance that I will match her youth, be it physically, mentally or emotionally. This one decision changed my entire life, it changed my life 'down-side-up' but for the better.
From being a guy of more than 240 soft pounds of sheer lard, I went down to a 160 pounds (thanks to Joel Marion). And my sole motivation was my word to this stunner of a woman. We are now 5 years into a this relationship, going only stronger as every day passes by. And you might ask what a horrible existence I lived prior to this decision. I drank heavily, I puffed away undefyingly, I ate all that came my way without a care for what I looked or felt.
Well, I worked out for a better body and got a lot of extra bonuses. My friends couldn't believe this was possible. I gained tremendous confidence, a fantastic lifestyle, a very healthy eating habit and all-in-all, a fantastic life. This is a dream come true. Having done all this I want to crank up my success to the next level of fitness. I now strive for much more muscle. If I could achieve such success from where I started, I am confident I can take my physical strength and the way I look to an entirely different playing level. And I will do it.
By-the-way, I am successfully helping a lot of friends to cut the flab and live a healthy life. All this thanks to great guys like you and Joel, who are out there guiding us, motivating us and showing the way. Thanks for all this guys, you rock my world. And yes, Flavia is very pretty and you two make a very nice pair. My best wishes to you both.
All the best
Personaly i'm not going all-out for the look , but more on the feel . I used to be the quiet kid that stayed in his bench all the time , never beeing alowed to complayn . I picked bodybuilding just because last year one friend kept talking about training and bodybuilders that he saw . I told to myself "why not" and it started like this. At first i was not sure what was i doing but soon enough i fell in love with the "pump" , and kept going .Well after 3 or 4 month i started to notice that i was getting stongers,so did my classmates that started to "see" me at long last. Bodybuilding saved me from a painfull life and i decided that i'll keep training and keep growing , and i know your program will help me

I want to look like something greater than the norm for a couple reasons and the most important is because all my life I wanted to look good and that was my main focus, ever since high school. However as I have gotten a little more mature more things are coming into focus, my family, career, faith and my overall health. I came across your programs through Mike Geary and Dr. K . They have given me such motivation and want to achieve overall health that I want to hear everything any of their trusted collauges say. I have been over weight but getting to the point of just being incredibly uncomforable physcially and emotionally is what pushed me to start trying some of these life changing strategies in my exercise, eating and prayer habits. I am a minister in our local church helping teens and families recognize their purpose in this life to love each other, ourselves and God. I am so amped up regarding healthy physcial living over the past few months that many friends have started bettering their eating and exercise habits. I want to live up to the standard that I have set and I am convinced that your program is the best way to help me.
Hi Vince,
Seen you on youtube and I want your shoulders.
Don't worry, you're not going to end up in a body bag, I just want my shoulders to look like yours.
I have pretty robust legs with wicked looking muscle, but my arms are not so great. I feel like an underachiever!
I used to get sore knees when weight training and sore legs from running.
I've was able to eliminate clicking knees and post-exercise pain by changing my form and balance,
after viewing another experts video demo's.
I often get shoulder pains after doing pull-ups, push-ups or lateral raises.
It is painful when driving, sleeping, cooking etc.. I just can’t figure out how to eliminate it,
so I can progress to happy workouts and get upper-body results.
My legs look like they have slabs of meat glued onto them, but my top is far from being as developed.
The muscles in the legs grow fine, but arms and chest have grown at only a fraction of what my legs have.
At the moment, I'm trying to strengthen my shoulders.
I don't have good support muscle in my shoulders so my cuffs click.
I would like to learn how to build up strength around my rotator cuff (without damaging it!),
so my arms can begin to increase in size and strength.
Yours hopefully,
Ken
Well My Dear Vince, after years of be the Skinny Guy, I saw you like a savior…. A friend of mine told me about your website and I found you like a guide to break out the shield of being 6'1'' tall and only weight 165 pounds!!! for god sake… After trying every diet, routine, exercise…. like you said in the videos f***ck up with the norm! I don't wanna be the "average skinny guy" OF COURSE that I would like to look greater than the norm also I would like to inspire others like you did to so the same…. But sometimes I feel like I don't have the necesary tools to achieve it… A dream come true will be to have the body of my dreams…. Beside I live sooo far from you I know that someday I'll meet you in person and I'll say thank you Vince…
Greetings from Barquisimeto, Venezuela. Orlando'G
The reason I want to maximize my muscle is…
Life had dealt me with some things that would prefer not to have, I was clinically depressed until the age of 20.
I came out of it having less things than other people have in life, I have no friends and I live with my parents…. See More
After this I have started pursuing a better life, I didnt finish school so I joined a program at a local university for people who didnt complete school.
I am trying to learn internet marketing so that I could start an internet based business though the topic is a bit confusing to me.
Fitness wise I am trying various things but the information on the internet is overwhelming, I want to get to 75 kgs which is hard for me since I am very thin by nature.
after I be in my desired weight I will follow the advice on rossboxing.com because getting big will not be the end for me, I also want to learn Boxing and MMA.
I want to start a business to help people, I dont know yet what it will be about but whatever it'll be I want to help people…
if you are skeptical you have every right to be, I myself dont know if I will get what I want.
P.S.
Vince do you know how I can get the Altitude DVD's you mentioned on the video in the affiliates page of your site?
Vince, I will make this short because I think that time is one of the most values thing in life. I'm 184cm tall (SI units lol) , I always weigth under 65kg.. yep, the really skinny and tall guy of the movie. I started to do workouts a few years ago, I tried 3 times and never successfully gain weight. I'm 27 years old. Anyway you seem to be a very authentic guy and I trust you and I will do whatever its has to be done to acomplish my goal, I only need good and fresh information and I think that my search has finished today. cheers. Ariel.
The reason that I need to increase my musle mass is that I have a autoimmune disease that causes my sinews and tendons to be inflamed. My doctor told me that there was no chance of improvement.
Since then I have stopped needing a walking stick to get around and have decreased my waist by 6" and lowered my weight from 102Kg to 86kg.
I have found that by ignoring the pain and just exersizing that my standard of living has improved out of sight.
As my condition is due to chemical exposure as a boy and the body stores toxins in the fat, I am trying to get below 5% fat. I'm not sure what my level is now but it would be between 15 & 18%
As the fat loss that I have aready acheived has given me a improvement I beleive that this obtainable, but realise that it will take hard work.
Because the disease robs me of strength I have to be stronger than normal to acheive the same results.
This is great motivation and I will acheive my goal.
My friends and family are already asking questions about the small begining that I have aready made and have motivated some to start there own journey. I can't wait to motivate many more as I improve even more in all three areas (physical, spiritual and mentally).
Hi, Ditto here.
I am from Indonesia, and now working in Malaysia.
I want to be something greater than the norm, because I want to prove to my family, my kids (especially), my parents, my wife, and myself that it is worth it for them to have ME in their life.
Respecting parents, protecting family, feeding kids, are what ‘normal’ men do. But setting up a high standard while giving example, is someone above average would like to do.
HI Vince
Yesterday, I asked my co-worker that I want to get a six pack. He asked me if I have ever had a six pack before and I answered NO. He said that no matter what I do that I will not get a six pack. Also, said it is all genetics. That sounds like a challenge for me and you. I'm already motivated to get a six pack but I only need professional guidance from you.
If I win the free membership, I will not let you down.
Thank You.
have better body will boost my personality improve my family life
Why do i want to look like something greater than the norm?
I have 7 kids; 1,2,3,4,5,6..7 I love them SOOOO much; God has blessed me with the most amazing family – and with that great blessing He has also given me a huge responsibility – be the best dad i can be in order to help my kids reach their full potential
I want to inspire my kids to do more than 'survive life – i want them to thrive at life and be a success in all they do!
Each of my kids look up to me and aspire to be like me (wow! exhilarating and terrifying at the same time) – for the last few years we've been focusing on our family values – being generous, working hard, showing compassion, being thankful…
In 2010 we've begun to look at physical fitness as a family – there is such a strong link with being fit and strong physically and fit and strong emotionally, spiritually, mentally!
So mate, this is my answer – look (be) above the norm for me – and for my family – my kids deserve nothing less from me!

COMPUTER MESSED UP WITH MY NAME HAD TO REPOST THE MESSAGE .
But I still am not satisfied with being average and I am ready to blow past my genetic potential. I am ready to transform my body to new levels and am ready to compete in the ever growing fitness world. But to do this I need to learn al lot more about muscle building that is why I need the help of you and your books. By learning more about how to transform my body I will be able to create my own training program and one day be able to make a living off of being a personal trainer. Your program would help give me the body and confidence I need in order to make my dreams come true.
It was like that for my entire junior and senior year but even though I had given up on the idea ever having the body of my dreams I still wanted to learn about fitness and the proper way to build muscle. After reading many books and websites I was beginning to learn that muscle building was impossible without the proper diet and rest. I finally was gaining the motivation I needed to get back in the gym. It wasn’t long after that I had found your website and read about your life changing story. At first I was skeptical but I was willing to give your methods a chance. By learning about the 12 anabolic muscle triggers I was able to reach insane results in just a short amount of time. In a matter of three weeks I was able to raise my max in benching by 60 pounds, squatting by 70 pounds, dead lifts by 50 pounds, and had gained 10 pounds of mass. Even though was using my own workouts, with the knowledge I gained from your website and a fuck it attitude I was able to achieve results I could only dream of before.
Hey Vince like you I have always been a skinny guy like you were. I remember wasting hours at the gym only to be disappointed by minimal results. After years of hard work i was finally able to gain some of the muscle and confidence I had work most of my life to achieve. I was finally starting to feel good about myself and was actually starting to finally get some attention from the ladies. Every thing was going good for me till several sports injuries and a car accident had prevented me from doing the one thing I loved most about life working out. At first I was stubborn and wanted to push through my injuries but the pain in my wrist shoulders and back became unbearable. I became discouraged and decided to give up on working out and became really depressed. Even my confidence had hit a rock bottom and my normally cheery mood slipped into a state were I didn't care about anything or anybody, working out had been a major part of my life and for a time I thought I would never be able to work out again.

(originally posted on the youtube video) Because I am not normal. When I started working out, I got hooked…but not just because of the looks that I acquired, but because the person it literally transformed me into. I mean I was super super skinny…I can post before and after pic at your request. I ordered your program, NNMB…and wow did it change my life for ever. I want to go past what I have accomplished the past 8 months because why not better myself just because I have made progress. When I take off my shirt in public I want people to look at me and then have to look again just due to the fact of my physique, and people who know me as a person can see inside how I have changed as well as out side. I have gained 32 pounds, and still remained relatively lean (11%). Thank you Vince, I would love to do your maximize your muscle. Your Idol -Moe Moaddab (houston, tx)
I have been working with a non-profit organization for years. We organize free summer class for kids, participate in blood-letting campaigns, et. al. It's nothing special really, it's just people who gives their time, efforts and probably some money to help others. We encourage people to do the same, and to look better than the norm, would break the stereotype that people who does this selfless things are ugly and losers. it's funny but it's kinda true.

Simple reply… "I wana try it."
So why am i sayng all of this? all my life i have wanted to be different, but my genetics was an exception. Anyone can do anything if they put their heart into it and just have the little push required to do something great with yourself.
Im sick of being the under dog, the skinny kid who people avoid, and im doing all this to pass the norm, to raise my self esteem and get the girl, walk along the beach and turn heads, realy any average mans dreams.
I have never wanted to be average, I know im not, and intend to pass my potential and show everyone what someone in my position can accomplish. The dream is only a step away.
Dont take the easy way out and become average, to blend in with your peers, be an exception, let the pain and punishment pay off, and show everyone who has ever looked at you wrong who's ontop
(sorry for all the messages, but it wouldnt let me post all at once.)
Hey Vince, well this is a tough one no doubt. Plenty of good comments up above me. I've been given, like you in the past, the skinny genetics and when I was about 17 years old I was about 125lbs soaking wet. Going into my junior year of high school I weighed maybe 135…I wasn't very confident and that summer I decided I was sick of it and chased after info to get bigger and stronger. Well the summer before my senior year of high school I gained 15lbs up to 150. Now I am a sophomore in college weighing 160. I've hit a plateau and I really wanna BUST through it and get bigger because the gains have been slow as you can see the difference between my senior year of high school and now.
I want this because I want that great sense of confidence you gain from having the body you see yourself in you know, I want that! I'm not a "normal" person and I never have been. Why? Because normal people live normal lives. I don't want a normal life. I want an AMAZING LIFE! I want to be remembered in this world for doing great things and inspiring others and giving every single last bit of myself in my life. But I've rambled enough. Thanks and congrats on your wedding! I can't wait until that happens for me also
Is this a right place to reply for the question?
Though I am not English native my try is here
Thats when i came across you, someone with very simular issues to myself, hell, if you could do it then why cant I? All someone needs is a little motivation to cross that threshold.I have always seen my body as a curse, but now seeing the other side, i see it as a blessing.
I realise how many people dont have what i have, and i have just realised now, that im happy with my body as i see the potential to grow. I recently realised i could gain fat and settle for average, but i threw that idea in the bin.
(continued)
Vince You have developed a great program. I am sure a lot of people will to grab it as fast as possible. It will work on any person irrespective of age and sex.
Hey Vince,
My entire life I have always been the skinny kid. Each year, the stares and harsh comments kill me a little more. I have realise im doomed with my genetics, i cant gain a cell of fat on my body no matter what i try, i tried working out, researching, i was always changing and adapting trying to try new things in order to allow me to gain weight, nothing ever changed and thats what sent me self esteem straight to hell.
You have explained how your school name was Skinny Vinny, try skelletor. No matter what, that name will always haunt me. It leaves scars, it hurts, and its that one comment which kicks me when im down. I have always seen my genetics as a curse, and hated them, i would be ashamed to take my shirt off at the beach or even a pool with the best of my freinds.
Ive always fought, and realised that the harder something is to get, the stronger i have to be to pursue it.
All i needed was some motivation, i was down, depressed and had a very low self esteem, I was desperate, but could never find myself to push hard enough to change.
(continued)
Hi Vince,
I'm so called hard gainer and gaining lean and big muscles has always been difficult to me. Maybe I've done something wrong or not enough.. I want my body to be better than the norm because better and stronger body would give me more energy and better posture in everyday life.. Better and stronger body would also help me to gain some extra performance in my competitive sports. I'd also love to be an inspiring example to the young athletes I coach. Then of course I'd like my wife to be more proud of my body..
Hey Vince!
I'm a college student and I really took to heart what you said on your affiliate website about building a business around this and I have started doing that on my website at http://nongenetic.com
My long-term goal is to be able to open a chain of gyms around the world and helping others to reach their goals of not only transforming their bodies but also transforming their minds into more confident ones.
I want to teach people out there that they can do WHATEVER it is they want to do in life as long as they put their mind to it and they focus and stay determined they can do whatever it is they want to do, whether it be becoming a doctor, a professional boxer,a pro athlete,a zoologist,a C.E.O, or an entrepreneur like myself.
The reason why I want to transform my body is to give myself credibility with others. I don't know a lot about muscle building YET but I am learning as much as I can because eventually I want to also make my own programs just like you and jeff anderson and many others out there. I want to be able to have financial freedom while doing what it is that I love which is helping others.
Just like Tony Robbins once said "you are never really satisfied with life unless you help others satisfy theirs". Ever since I heard him say that it has changed my life and I want to help change other people's lives as well.
Also having a body above the norm will give me
-more confidence
- a higher self esteem
-increased credibility
-and a desire to learn more
Thank you Vince for providing me with such great knowledge and I hope that one day I can invite you to one of my many gyms around the world..(once I open them ofcourse haha) and we might even be able to work together on a program in the future
All it takes is consistency and hardwork and I know that I WILL reach my goals..
Thanks again for your help

Hi My reason is that I have spent the last year getting in to the best shape of my life but i stil have a little to go around the tummy area i have always wanted to have rippped abs and im so close but i constantly have people especially al my mum friends say that its not going to happen its not possible after having kids its stretched skin muscle etc etc. Well I know if i can get this close i know that i can do it and am determined to prove them all wrong. So help me prove that mums can have ripped abs if they eat correctly and work out hard enough!!!
hi vince
i would just like to start off by saying that your "skinny vinny" story hit home with me becuase like you were, i am the skinny guy at my college and in my gym .
as soon as i seen your website i checked it out and your information seemed really good. So the stuff i got from you i tried it out as soon as i could when i was in the gym and to my surprise (becuase nothing else worked) your information really helped me! right when i started getting muscle and looking better i got this minor disease that stopped me from working out for almost 6 months.
now i am over the disease but i have gotten smaller and flabby again and havent been able to get any muscle going. i was thinkin about it a couple of days ago and thought that your help and advice did really good the first time so something like this could get me out of the rut and the confidence that you now have from having a body like that .
thanks
Vince, thank you very much for reading my post:
I rarely miss a workout. I consider myself to be in better than average shape, but have hit a point in which I am not growing much. I am 6'1 190, so by no means skinny, but I need that something extra to really be BETTER THAN AVERAGE. I definitely am willing to put the work in, I now just need that extra bit of knowledge that you can provide. I was in the car business, but I did not find it rewarding. I am considering becoming a personal trainer and as you yourself have noticed I am sure, it is a lot easier to have others listen to you when you look the part. I am choosing this path becuase in the past I have gotten some of my out of shape friends to join the gym, and in fact whipped a few of them into shape. IT IS VERY REWARDING TO SEE OTHERS IMPROVE knowing that I was a big part of it. I want to learn everything you know so I can one day implement your ideas into their routines so they can see success as well. I have always considered myself better than average, and also feel I have the abiltiy to make others better as well, which is just as rewarding.
Thanks!

HEY VINCE, THERE ARE SOME MAJOR REASON WHY I WANT TO LOOK BEYOND THE NORM, FIRST OF ALL WHEN I WAS YOUNGER NOT A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS CALLED FAT. AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HARD IT WAS TO WALK BY OTHERS AND KNOWING THAT THEY WERE CRITICIZING YOU BY THE WAY YOU WERE. PEOPLE DIDN'T NOTICE BUT THEY WERE REALLY HURTING ME EMOTIONALLY. UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO I GOT TIRED OF PEOPLE TALKING BEHIND MY BACK ABOUT MY OBESITY. AND THE WORST PART OF ALL WAS THAT I KNEW THAT I HAD TO LOSE WEIGHT NOT JUST SO I COULD BE BETTER LOOKING BUT I KNEW I HAD TO DO IT FOR MY HEALTH. I REMEMBER THAT IN MY EARLY YEARS I COULDN'T EVEN DO PE AT SCHOOL.I WAS A LONER, WHY BECAUSE NO ONE WANTED TO BE IN THE FAT KID'S TEAM BECAUSE HE PROBABLY COULDN'T EVEN RUN FOR 2 MINUTES STRAIGHT. AND NOW I WANT TO LOOK BEYOND THE NORM NOT JUST FOR ME BUT TO BE ABLE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH OBESITY.
I am a professional that wants to not only improve his looks but also live a healthier lifestyle. I have been overweight most of my life and none of the other programs have worked. I am not afraid of hard work and am prepared to do whatever it takes.
Hi Vince,
Back in 2006, when I was in high school, I was an obese lad, despite of excelling in studies, hated heading to the sport hall with the disgraceful physique I had. A Year later, when I entered Cairo Medical School..the way I see life totally changed 360 ÌŠ,u know when u see urself in the midst of unhealthy people, I freakin wanna ‘repent’.. when I had my summer hols in my country, Malaysia, the fame of motivation to shift my physique more ignited when my own blood relative piss me off “boy, I think u gonna die while treating people someday”. I’m exploded, I started to take care of my nutrition and go pumping iron in gym..in the mid2008, I transformed from 110 kg to 65kg. despite of such transformation, I face odds when I failed to reduce my fat percentage and gain more lean muscle mass. Here in Kuala Lumpur, the sport expert said that It is very impossible for an Asian( like me) whom height is only 160cm, aged 20, to get the body like westerner ( like in most med. book~ gene control u).. but I still perform the daily routine till today( even lil growth) though I feel embarrassed …I wanna change my body beyond norm because I wanna breathe a new life where I could show the world that I can do my best as I do in Medicine. I deserve a superb body cos I dun wanna fall failed even once in life. If I had a better body, I would save million folks out there to achieve the same victory I got. And I it is extremely important to me to look n feel better than average to gain my self esteem and confidence to lead the life in Health Community esp when I graduate from the Med school
thanks for reading…

All the way through school I was a good, solid, B student. I've had good relationships, but not great, I life life well… but I've never blown beyond my limitations. I've always been comfortable. Even in fitness, I'd say I'm in good but not amazing shape. Exploding out of the framework of mediocrity and 'good enough' in fitness is the first step in remaking my life. It gives not just fantastic confidence and energy, but also a blueprint for demolishing roadblocks. If I can do it in the gym, why not everywhere else? My goal is that in twelve months time that I haven't just maximized my looks and health, but also my relationships, my spirituality, and my career.
(Apparently I need to Maximize my Memory, too. Forgot to mention the bio data– Bennett Marshall, from the US)
Because for the last 15 years I let life to put me down in every aspect, personally, professionally,and I gave up. I'll be 45 the coming June and I said enough is enough, starting from my physical condition to gain my self confidence again, and go up the latter once more. No matter if I win or not this is a commitment I won't give up no matter what…
Thank you
Nick
I want to look something greater than the norm because I want to prove myself that I am able to reach the goal of having a great physique.
By proving myself that I am able to do so I CAN BECOME into inspiration for those people that haven't been able to prove themselves that with effort, patience, discipline and good nutrional habits we can make it.
So far I am 16% body fat….my goal is reaching 7% body fat.
Having a body greater than the norm is not just a matter of looking good and feel respected, I also want a good body cause I can have a healthier lifestyle by doing so. I want to have all that benefits of looking greater than the norm by the hand of a program that helps me to get this goal.
I am a 57 year old male that hardly ever worked out until last fall. I read an article last May stating that my walking was of very little value overall. I did some research and it stated that the sedentary male will lose one pound of muscle mass and gain one pound of fatty tissue every year.
I knew that I had to get started, but how and – well, how. I started walking more, airborne shuffle, climbing the Mount Helena, the City Park in Helena MT. This was good for the legs and the wind, but did nothing for the rest of the body. I started using a tool box and a file box that weighed 22 pounds to start as all I had were two five-pound dumbbells. I started body weight exercises, squats, pushups and crunches adding the dumbbells and then the tool box/file box combo to add to the squats and adding in some other dumbbell-type exercises that I saw on the internet.
Two months ago I picked up a Good Samaritan special – a 100 pound weight set and a bench – I look better and feel better than I have in decades.
The question you asked is why I want to go beyond norm, because it will show others that it can be done. That a 135 pound, scrawny 57 year old can get in shape and stay healthy rather than lie around dormant and fat. It will help me gain more confidence in myself, will help me play with the children and grandchildren and will let them know that I am doing the best that I can possibly do to stay healthy and keep fit and try to be a role model for those around me that are overweight, smoke and drink too much and have a "normal" diet of junk and more junk.
I want to be the poster child (so to speak) for body building and aging that makes the elderly look like a place you want to be and able to get there in style. I want to look like I have the body that a 30 year old would like to have and be proud of.
Thank you for letting me get in on this contest..
Vince , i had always wanted to be the kind of person that have six packs and looks good in tight shirts so i went to try different types of workouts and that resulted in over-working out . I may be the smartest in class but not the "fittest" in class . I want to be an all rounded person instead of someone who studies like a book worm . I always get teased at when i have my Physical Education Lessons in class and always get the last position during the mass run . I didn't dare to wear swimming trunks to swim as i didn't want to reveal my tummy . I deserve a better body as people who are less serious in working outs and exercising have great body unlike me . One of them even told me that he didn't even workout and he had a nice six pack abs . I was like "WOW" and i kept questioning myself , why am i born this way and is there anyway to change it ? I think it's not really my fault that i am born this way as God has created each person to be unique and each person has their unique talents .

I deserve a better body because I believe I am a disciplined person,I will work to the best of my limits in everything I do,I am determined in achieving my goals and will not give up.
If I had a better body than the norm,I will educate and help others in how to change their body,just like what I did.I will not just show off my body to others.In the gym,I will work to the highest level of intensity and show others in the gym what intensity is all about to achieve the body I get,so that they will get motivated to work harder in the gym.I teach them indirectly.
I think it is important to look and feel better than just average as in life,I will want to aim for something beyond myself and not just "maintaining" my body.
Exactly 250 words.
Thanks Vince

Having a better body will change my life because it will give me more confidence in myself and in life.I will not have to be self-esteem in my own body afterwards,afraid to show my body to friends in the locker room.This feeling is really awful,I hate it.How I wished I had a better body just like my friends who are lean and muscular.I will always blame my own genetics which gives me the skinny size and look.I was despised by friends criticizing my that I am made of bones.I want a better body.To be CONTINUED..(comment too long)
Dear Vince,
I am a man deprived of my manliness when i step into a gym without a direction of how to workout.
This program will make me a man and help me approach life the way that you have done it and become successful.
I live my life with passion and put my heart out on the line and the frustration in the gym really had me searching for answers which led me to you
Please make me a man I deserve to be
Hey there, Vince.
I'm not writing this with the intention of winning your free 12-month membership to MYM.
I'm an avid body builder, a fitness enthusiast who wants to take my body to greater heights. I haven't hit any true plateaus, yet, because I've not worked hard enough in the gym. What do I mean by that? I do not have a gym membership – I follow a friend to the nearby Fitness First gym because he's a privileged First Club member who is allowed to bring one (1) friend or family per day over the weekends only. And that means gym workout only over the weekends. I do initiate in Turbulence Training at home aside from hitting the gym, but that's about how my training routine goes.
That's not all. I'm still a university student (final year, thank goodness) and there are many things out in the market that I can't even afford. Heck, I can't even afford a packet of milk! You could say that my parents can help me out, but I'd like to stay independent and get the things that I want in life by my own. Time and patience is all I need, for now.
I'll be damned if I were to try my luck to win the free 12-months MYM membership (which I'm confident that I have a high chance) because I've not even bought your NNMB package or hit any true plateaus – there are many more deserving people who can maximize the usage of your the maximize your muscle program but it's just not my time yet. I've read your blog posts, seen your client's testimonials and heard you speak in videos and I totally trust that the stuffs you have is one of its own kind and they'd actually work for me. It just makes perfect sense to me, that's what my gut feeling tells me. Though application has not been made on my side, you made me a believer, somehow, and I thank you for that.
In due time, when I can actually afford a copy of NNMB, I'll live/eat/breathe by it until I hit a brick. Focus will only be placed in your programs. By then, I'll send you my 'before' and 'after' pics and then only look into the possibility of acquiring the MYM program if I'm still unsatisfied with the progress I make with NNMB.
I can't wait to achieve results, have people come asking me how did I get that those slabs of granite-looking chests and 8-packs because just like you, I like educating and helping people with what I know and see them achieve results the CORRECT way, and NOT through some hype/BS/mythical methods out there to scam and waste people's precious time and effort. I aspire to be a personal trainer by profession one day.
Wait for me, Vince. And thanks for everything.

I'm from Toronto, Ontario and I'm currently in York University, nearly completed my first year in couple weeks…. Like the fitness model Greg Plitt, I'm consistent, and motivated to get my body better than everybody else. I love working out for myself and I do have goals from going to 160lbs to 185-190 lbs, but I don't worry about what the scale tells me because I know my life will run perfectly by continuing to work out.
When you look good, you do extra good, and I can see myself jogging for hours outside without a shirt on, feeling great and being happy. Working hard for a body that you want to achieve shows to me whatever you really want in your life it will come, and once you do get what you have been training for for years, then your confidence and all the other millions of positive things will be with you forever.. Get out of your comfort zone and face any fears you have, train and all conversations will be that much more inspiring. Those are really what the results working out will give me.

It would seem the advantages are undeniable. People do not lack strength, they lack will. Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person. AE. I think you have hit on something that will surely shock the body.
changing my body would increase my confidensce & the way i see myself.would also change my state of mind!! i dont see exercise & fitness as somthing to do i see it as a way of life.i love exercising & to put on more lean muscle and get past the norm is what i want to do.i am studying cert 3 & 4 in fitness & loving it
i am a very family orientated person.my family see me day in & out go to the gym.only can eat this & that ect.my family have already told my the change they have seen in me over the years.when i have put on some size how i change into a better person with the way i present myself & my confidensce.
i know this makes my family & others around me happy to see and witness.when i enter the fitness work place.by being more confident and by training like i do and the experience i have i hope to change peoples lifes for the better. i say practise what you preach.

First off I think everyone that wrote more than 250 words should be disqualified. And secondly I think I should get it because I need to get me a girl like Flavia!! That’s my boiii Vince!!! Alright that’s it thank you.
Oh yeah…And I forgot to mention that my birthday is on April 7th so you can make it the best birthday in my whole life so far
Hey Vince. Ever since I've been a little kid, I've always been the nerdy one. I moved to Cananda 5 years ago, when I was 12, wich as you can imagine wasn't the easiest thing. New life, new school, new language and of coarse new jerks who pick on me. That's why, couple of months ago I've decided to start working out. I'm pretty skinny so loosing weight isn't really my goal. My dad's always working and my mom's too busy so i pretty much used to eat only fast food. From now on, my life will change. Winning one of those free Memberships will give me the boost I need to change things around here. Now I'm 17 and next year going to college things won't be the same for me. And then, when I share my story 'm sure I could inspire all those kids that are feeling the same way I used to feel couple of moths ago. Thanks and i'll cross my fingers.

hello vince my name is nelson galdamez from sioux city iowa. i want to look greater then normal because now that im done with my fat loss journal i want to start my muscle building journal i can inspire other people to try this methods you have put out. i wont be soft centered about my body anymore like i use to be i will have the confidence to take off my shirt at the beach and show off the body of my dreams. if i had a body greater then normal i would tell people to check out MYM and to take the challenge of going beyond there genetic and to finally have there body they have always wanted.to me its important to look and feel better because ill have more confidence for everything from talking to strangers, to going to job interviews and to going out with just a muscle shirt.
Your question caused me to think about "why i want to look like something greater than the norm". I'm 57 and I've had sextuple bypass. For quite some time, I've been reading that the pear shape makes me more susceptable to heart problems so of course there is the health aspects. I've tried several programs, have reduced sugar intake to 15 grams or less a day, and still have the pear shape. So the desire to be healthy is important.
But there is one other aspect. People are also getting more concerned about their safety and are also investing more in self defense. Many of the self defense courses talk about doing things so you don't look like an easy target. What better way of not looking like an easy target than to "look like something greater than the norm".
Hi!, well, my reason will be just that i Know i can do it!. For a long time I’ve wanted to add some muscle doing some diferent stuff, gimnastics, swimming, goin a gym, but I haven’t seen any results, so it just makes me loose interes. I know it would help me improve my mood, health and whith girls, jajaja I think thats it, so i would like to use the program to see the results i haven’t seen. Specially at these point in my life when i think, that every good thing you do to help you feel better, will help you in the up coming future.

HI Vince,
Firstly I would like to thank you for all the work that you have done for us. You have assisted us in so many ways and I am sure you have changed so many peoples' lives.
I want to look beyond the norm because I have made that decision a year ago that I want to be fabulous in every sector of my life whether it is financially, in my health or relationship. The reason is just simply that it is path that I've chosen to take. Success is a choice, wealth is a choice, having a wonderful body is a choice! It doesn't matter how many people actually inspires you to have a wonderful body but in your heart and mind you still haven't made that decision for yourself, you will always stand in the "between".
Well I don't stand in the "betweens" anymore! I MUST get to my goal no matter how much adversity I would face. I have burned all the bridges behind me and I have nowhere to go but only to where I want to be. And that goal for now is to increase my muscle mass by 10 pounds by the end of the year.
I am currently hitting on a brick wall that is too hard for me to crush through and too high for me to climb over. No matter how much I eat, all the supplements I take and the crazy workouts that I am currently doing, I just find myself stuck and I couldn't gain weight at all. And in fact I just weigh myself yesterday and I actually lost weight!
There must be something that I am not doing it right and I need the guidance from someone like you to help me break through this wall.
I am looking forward for your program Vince! You have been an inspiration for everyone of us!
Thanks for the contest!
Have a great Easter!
Kind Regards

part 2:
I joined the track and field team at school this year and I'm up against 3 girls who I know are of the best in the city. I really want to work on my leg muscles to improve my jumping and running so I have a better chance at track meets. I plan on cheerleading in university, and I need to be able to power tumble, which requires a lot of muscular endurance, and I'm sure this program will really help.
Alsooo, I would love to be able to use your program for free because my parents won't let me buy any fitness memberships to you or other businesses or buy any fitness books and I don't have a credit card.
Please please consider me for the membership and thanks for everything!

Vince,
I love this stuff, man. Walking out of the gym after every workout, muscles pumped, sweat drenched, I walk taller than I ever thought I could. A year ago, I was a completely different man. I was 23 years old, 210 lbs, and 22% body-fat. I was lost in the truest sense of the word. I had no idea where I wanted to go, or what I wanted out of my life. I think life can be distilled down to three pillars: health, wealth, and relationships. And when any one of those pillars is in disarray, the other two suffer drastically. I wasn't respecting my health, and as a result, other areas of my life suffered as well.
Everything turned around for me one day last July when I found your website. I was skeptical at first (I've tried to set out on this quest time and time again before only to fail), but I decided to make you my mentor and follow your principles to the letter. You have a way of lighting a fire under people's butts, Vince.
Here I am, a year later, after hours of training and liters upon liters of sweat, here I stand. I'm currently 190 lbs. and 9% body-fat. I can actually see the outline of my abs for the first time! That alone was such a huge victory for me! People I haven't seen in months are telling me how different I look and it feels amazing. One thing I've learned throughout this journey is this: you'll never know what you're truly capable of until you push yourself. I never thought I could bench 200 lbs. I never thought I could run a mile without stopping. Hell, I never thought I would get to single digit body-fat!
You've opened my eyes up to a world of possibilities, Vince, and you were instrumental in setting me on what I consider to be my true path: to be a doctor of physical therapy (as well as a personal trainer) and to coach and guide others in getting their bodies into the best condition possible. We're all gonna die eventually, sure, but bodybuilding and exercise is the closest thing to a fountain of youth that any of us will ever find. I'm starting my PT program in the fall, and working on my personal training certification as I write this. I never thought I would be at this point in my life, and while I'm elated, I'm not content. I want to get down to 5% body-fat, I want to put on 20 more lbs. of muscle, and I want to compete in a bodybuilding competition. I've got the fire burning inside (you know what I'm talking about), and you've got the knowledge of how to get where I want to go. I would be thrilled if you selected me to receive a membership to Maximize Your Muscle.
It's amazing how achieving goal after goal gives you the confidence to take on (and accomplish) anything! I don't want to blow smoke up your ass, but you're truly one of my inspirations. You changed my life. Thanks for doing what you do, brother.
Nick
Nick… this is a incredible story. I would love to feature this on my website… do you have any before and after pictures?
Hi Vince,
I'm a 17-year old girl and I really want to be different by being stronger than the typical teenage girl with your program. I did gymnastics until I was 15 and competed provincially, but since then, I have lost some muscle and gained quite a bit of fat, especially after living in a university dorm (with good food) over the summer for a month. I started to realize that I did not have the gymnast body I had anymore and became really self-conscious, so I began to focus on getting fit at the beginning of the school year in September. Since then, I've learned tons of health and fitness facts. By working out at home, I've been able to lose 7 lbs and go from size 7 to size 3, and I've got most of my 6 pack back! I first found your website when I found a picture of you and your fiancee on another fitness website and thought, "I want to look like her!" I would rather be a super muscular girl than a skinny unmuscular girl that I see in some of my friends and my goal at this moment is to really look good for prom and summer and look even better than when I was a gymnast.
Well my name is Tyrell McCabe, I turned 17 last month and I'm a teenage Ectomorph. I would love to have this program due to I have been skinny all my life and have a desire to become Big & Strong. I started Weight Training during 8th grade year and so on.
What I would do with my better body is come back my senior year for school and just blow everybody, who has not seen me over the summer, away. I would have the confidence to get my dream girl, and continue to make gains and obtain incredible strenth, become a role model for my younger siblings, and provide my family with more Man Power that we need.. This will only be the beginning for me, I would also compete in body building competitions, hopefully become a great fitness coach, as you have done, and help others really skinny guys like myself, and also be known around the country.
With that said, I'am a native american (navajo), from the reservation in Arizona, from a small town called Sanders. Thank you for giving us this amazing oppertunity VInce, and your finance.
Tyrell McCabe
When a Human has met there true potential Psychically. Then they can enhance there mind and spirit. I am a Martial Artist and my hero of course is Bruce Lee. I have studied and studied his workout regiments as well as his philosophizes. I have pushed and pushed my body to the potential it has. I have made my workouts various and integrated with many types of things. With having this other type of training it would be exciting to see what it has to offer me.
Charles Peterson
Hey Vince, to answer your first question, a better body would change my life in countless ways. Most importantly, I'll have the confidence and the physique to encourage other people to change their lives just as you are doing everyday. I've always been a caring person and wanted everyone to succeed and a better body will help me achieve that.
Using NNMB, I put on my first 30 lbs, but I haven't gained much since then (over 2 years ago). With MYM, I WILL blow beyond my genetic potential physically and therefore I'll have the tools to blow beyond my potential in all aspects of life. I want to be an inspiration to not only my friends, but to everyone that sees me. I want to inspire people to go for what they want and not hold back.
I deserve a better body because I'm one of the most dedicated people you will ever know. When I have a task at hand, I never give up until it is completed. I strive on that. While going to University I managed to still follow your meal plans when I didn't even have a kitchen. While everyone else was gaining fat, I was gaining rock hard muscle.
Lastly, it is important for me to look and feel better than "average" because nobody in the right mind wants to be average. To be something great you have to be better than average. And I want to be great. I, want to be an inspiration.

Ever met someone who inspires you to bet better, give you the self belief you can be better? Over the years of my life I have met people who have inspired me to achieve the unimaginable – like getting a PhD, to run marathons, to ride my motor bike 2000km in a day and so on. Over the years, Ive been working hard on improving my mind and body – with mixed success. Learning to unlocking the secrets to maximising my muscle, will allow me to give back and help inspire others to be better and to help them feel the truth that physical fitness lies at the core of who we are and what were were placed on this planet to do.. to learn, grow, love and to give.
Lee Hird, Perth Australia
I have always wanted to look like something greater than the norm. I hate having a skinny body type. I have tried to workout on and off over the years with no luck and I have also tried a few different pre, intra and post workout supplements with out much success. I have always envied guys who have a rock hard body and was also so jealous because it always seemed effortless for them while I struggled and struggled for years. I would love to have abody that everyone admires.
Vince,
Your inspiration has me thinking about how to shake the menopause curse. I shook it once but this time I need all the help I can get. You and Dr. K have the best thing going. How about it Vince?
Hi Vince,
in this fast paced life and recession its difficult to find jobs.First impressions are very important for any job interview.For me to feel and be confident I need to work on my body.I need to feel confident about myself before i can show my confidence to the world..Once i feel confident i will be more positive and will definetly make a good impression at work and my day to day life.

I know what you said about no claiming that you dont have the money blah! blah! but I would say that every single person that has commented (or begged) prior to me writing this is only doing it to save the bucks. If they were as fair dinkum as they claim to be they would take action, pay the $840 and get stuck in.
I have only recently been reading your blogs as I got referred to you from your other fitness guru buddies Mike Geary and John Romaniello (who I have purchased training info from and have been enjoying using their programs) and thought that your info sounds interesting too.
I want to get more similar info to help me train right, train smarter and acheive the gains and goals that I set for myself.
Would love that to happen by receiving one of your free membership packs but if not I will keep working hard and looking for whatever other info there is out there to keep me motivated,healthy and feeling good.
Mick from Melbourne Australia
The free membership is definitely a nice bribe but I'm sure that everyone here knows that stating out your goals makes them more of a reality and chance to happen too.
I'm 43 this year. I wanna look fabulous – get looked at and be a lean, mean muscle machine so I can ride my Harley, feel fantastic and be inspired and inspiring. I want to win competitions. With the sort of body I want – muscle-toned and fat-free I would be on top of my personal mountain of success.
Well, I believe that the "norm" has been set waaaay too low. God gave us these amazing bodies, full of potential to do amazing things. Somehow along the way, we've let ourselves believe that "this is as good as it gets."
I think the word "realistic" needs to be taken out of our internal dictionaries. If everyone was realistic all the time we wouldn't have airplanes, space shuttles, snow boards, para olympics, etc. I think what this world needs is a good dose of individual pride that will work it's way into other forums. One of the best ways I know to feel good about yourself is simply by feeling good physically. When I reach a fitness goal, I automatically set a higher goal.
Well Vince, I'm ready to set a higher goal!
Good thoughts to all out there!–RJ
I agree. Let's remove that word completely. We'll start by removing that work ourselves!
I guess my reason is because I am looking for new ways to keep off the 38 kg I lost over a 2 year period from March 26 2005 to 01 April 2007. I did that on my own, did not join a gym or a weightloss group or centre I put into action all that I have learnt over the years. The confidence I gained was amazing. Back before I lost the weight I weighed 90 kg and by the time I finished I weighed 52 kg every day I told myself I was going to lose 36 kg and dropped 2kg more. When I weighed that 90 kg I felt like I was wearing a tent most of the time and had to lose the weight for health reasons. Once I reached that goal I had the exact body I longed for I now wear size 10 clothes and would like help to sculpt my body so that I can stay that way as I do not ever want to go back to that person again.
Vince,
I want this. I want a body better than the norm. I was on the verge of being obese. I have since lost weight and am stuck at an average body type. My mother is obese. My sister is morbidly obese. I want to set a good example for them and show them that it is possible for change. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol run in my family and I don't want my little sister to be in that boat, espesially at a young age. Thanks.

I am Dave Campbell from NJ. I bust it in the gym 6-7 days a week so that I can be the best. I am a 15 year old FRESHMAN weightlifter with a 225 lb bench press. I started lifting at age 13, and I plan on going as long as possible.
I am always looking for ways to get better, and you have helped me out a lot already. I am never satisfied, and always believe that there is even more potential to be unlocked. I am already way above the norm, but I know that I can be even more above the norm. I always look for ways to improve, researching, practicing, visualizing, and just taking action! This is why I deserve to win this membership, thank you very much.
Dear Vince,
Back in January 2009 I started busting my butt at the gym and dieting like crazy. Three months later, I looked pretty good, built muscles and lost fat. I felt awesome but still needed more time. I wanted to pursue the whole fitness thing and perhaps one day compete and get my PT certification. Then, the worst thing happened. Both my legs were in casts for 3 months (the whole summer basically) and all my efforts were gone. I was devestated.
Now I am back to square one again. I still go to the gym but not as religiously as before. Not because I don’t want to, I really don’t know why…..
I am sick and tired of people labelling me as chubby. When I tell people that I used to lift heavy they would say, “Really? it doesn’t show!!!” Makes me want to cry after all that hard work. I haven’t worn a bathing a suit in almost 2 years because I don’t have the confidence and I really want to go to a beach this summer. Some of my friends are going today (and a guy I like will be there) yet I made this big excuse that I have “errands” to run today…..I am DYING to go but would not be caught dead in a bathing suit
(
I just turned 32…..if I am not going to look fit and healthy now then when on earth am I?
Thank you for reading.
I will never forget the acronym for FEAR you brought up in one of your videos: False Evidence Appearing Real. I can really relate to that because I used to be shy, anti-social and comfortable with routine tasks. Now that I'm much older, wiser and bigger, I am very much a risk-taker and challenge my mind to go above and beyond–be it in school, at work, or even in social settings. I'm competitive in this sense. I've learned the mind is a very powerful thing which one can train to do anything at all until it becomes a habit. We can either train our mind to live in fear, or to feel excited on new opportunities and journeys in life. On one end, we are hiding from the world and not expressing ourselves to our full potential, and on the other end we are accomplishing tasks we never thought we would have accomplished–and on top, making new goals to stay motivated. It's really a question of confidence and I believe improving our physical appearance has a lot to do with reviving our spirits. In fact, as I was becoming stronger and bigger, I noticed I felt better about myself. I would love to go beyond and challenge my body to pass its genetic potential because, just like you at one point, I consider myself a hardgainer, which psychologically limited my efforts on becoming bigger and stronger. I've tried many workout programs, even ones I've made, but it wasn't until I tried your Bulk Building Workout when I started seeing some serious results. After 5 weeks into this program, I came across Maximize Your Muscle program, which really sounded like the direction I want to head. Of course, everyone is always looking for the next best thing in life. It's just the matter of having the right knowledge, tools and support to take us to the next giant leap.
Vince I would love to win a years free membership to MYM because
1: I have already lost 40 kilos of fat, now i need to build muscle to strengthen and maintain my body, i know this and am prepared to do the hard yards to achieve the results.
I have done everything off my own back with information off the internet so far and 40 kilos lost was not easy
2: I am trying to get into the industry ( I am currently studying to be a personal trainer) and learning the correct information from a professional who has done the hard yards and knows what he is on about is beneficial to me and my future clients
3: I really would like to influence my family, my friends, clients etc about the benefits of believing beyond what people call limitations. I now believe anything is possible as long as you really want it and are prepared to do hard yards to achieve your goals.
4: Last but not least I want to look and feel smokin hot!!! Muscles are hot and i want them.
Thanks for your time and hopefully you pick me regards Kylee.
Hi Vince,my main reason for wanting to win your prize is that it will allow me to achieve more in every area of my life. In the last 2 yes I’ve lost around 3 stone using my own methods but as a result have reached a plateau near to my final “waist goal” and have lost a lot of the upper-body bulk in the process that used to make me feel more powerful. Despite this, I have still noticed that I get more in everything just due to being slimmer. People take me more seriously, even my bosses at work. I take myself more seriously too. I just need the help to reach that next level to put on lean size…then the ones after that too! I know this can propell me only further in every aspect of life.
Thanks
Hi Vince,
I want to develop the phenomenal strength your program can deliver. Why? To help others. I am starting out as an acupuncturist and I want to have an abundance of strength and energy so I can give it freely to my patients. I want my cup to runneth over with health and vitality in order that I may more easily fill the cups of those I care for. Vince, I believe you have the tools I need for the job.
Go well,

hi Vince
i have so many dreams to achieve, and one of my dream is to be a good leader/motivator/role model in all the way I do in my life. right now i already have been impacting people with what i do in my job. and my job relate very well with health so much. my parents always told me that we human live not just for our own self…..so many people out there need our help…need our motivation…need a good role model to follow. because most of the people right now only live their life flowing like a river….we of course know that if we had dreams, goal, target to achieve then that would be the beginning of changes in our life….
to become a good role model we must of course do the thing we speak on our own first….for exp: if we want to be a good role model about health…then we must live our way in a good manner of health…
that way….a better body is a must!!!!!
you cannot say eat this,,eat that..this food is good for u..that food is good for our body while we are not in good health….catch flue easily…bulky stomach..round body…people wont believe what we say….people wont follow our speech….they believe and follow our ACTION our DOING!!!!!!
we live by example not by talk only!!!
have a better body means my family and my loved ones gonna proud of me…since im not only speak but i live that way too and i have a prove here that i live what i speak…..i live what come out from my mouth.
have a better body is a very essential for my self too….since i need to think of my self as a capable person…worthy to trust…trusting my self is very important if we want more success happen in our live.and also if we want to trust others then the first thing to do is trusting my own self.
have a better body is a prove that im a discipline person.if we cannot discipline our body our mind then how can we get other success??
since success in our live need discipline very much.
one last thing is ……be a good role model is just not enough for me…my main goal is i have to be great role model!!!
good role model/good leader aspire/inspire others to do what we do
great role model/leadeer not only inspire others to do what we do but we inspire them to inspire someone else outhere!!!! and they inspire another someelse out there and again and again and again!!!!!
just like u vince!!!
u inspire me a lot man!!!
not only u inspire me to live our way life healthy an have a great body.but u inspire me that i can do like u do too.i can inspire a lot people that i know…that i care the most.my family and my loved ones.
personally i never write long comment like this before.i dont know why i can write a lot like this.
in the beginning i just want to write some text just in case i win this contest of yours…hahahaha
but in the middle i come out with all i have in my heart and pour them all here.
it doesnt matter if i dont win.but at least my post here will inspire people who happen to read my post here. hope my post here can touch your heart.
always remember that we live in this world not by ourself….there are people around us need some direction to go.need some one to follow.people are lost.
dont be selfish!!!
u may say that a good body is not really needed and u eat junkfood bad food etc becouse u think your body is your own. your wrong man! if u have a bad health and u get sick….who will suffer because of ur illness???
your family right???
is it worthed that your family pay the price of your fault??
i leave the answer to you alone.
thank u Vince for giving me such chance to write this post.
I wan’t to look at my best. Going beyond the genetic potential is the perpose for us to be on this earth. The strive for perfection os the essence of life and i want to achieve it. Because that’s my life.
Hey Vince,
Well, I want to go beyond the norm, because the norm is for ordinary people. These are people who 'settle'. I always want to break through the barriers, to prove the people who said it can't be done, wrong! I also believe, as you said, that by being different, and by standing out, you boost confidence, which in turn helps you perform even harder, and reach for bigger goals. My goal is to get to 200lbs by the end of the year. I'm currently around 165lbs, and have really reduced my body fat, so now it's all about gaining muscle.
I have gained immense amounts of confidence, with my college studies, work, and with girls. And it's not an arrogant kind of thing, it's more of a strong sense of achievement.
So that's basically why I want to be better/greater than the norm, because, quite frankly, I can be (and will be!) better than the norm. I am a man apart, and want it to stay that way.
Thanks for everything!
Hi Vince
Firstly, in response to Mick from Melbourne, yes I would love to get this program free, just as I would have loved to get Dr K’s Double Edged Fat Loss free but did not. Instead I purchased the program and have been using it for the last 2-3 weeks with great results. As with that program, I feel that MYM will be a superb addition to my exercise library and will be a perfect compiment to DEFL, hand in hand I believe these two programs will assist me in becoming the person I believe I can be.
Why do I want to be better than normal, better than average? Because average is boring and boring I don’t want to be.
In 2 years time I turn 40. I want to show everyone that anyone, no matter what age can look absolutely amazing. To be that guy who everyone looks at and says “wow, he’s in great shape”. To go to the local Rugby club and inspire the young men that I coach to be better than everyone else because it is possible, no matter who you are or how old (or young) you are.
I want to set a great example for my 3 children, two of who are now at the age where they are starting to want to exercise regularly (18 and 16). They are lucky enough to live in a great country like New Zealand where they have access to great countryside and healthy food options so being able to pass this knowledge onto them by example will be invaluable.
I look forward to putting your principles and program into practise and really boosting my muscle growth to become the person I can, and deserve to be.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to what you and Dr K come up with next.

I don't know that I want to "look" like something greater than the norm, it is more that I "am" something greater than the norm and this program has helped my outside match my inside. What else can there be to say?
Hi Vince,
I want to look better than the norm because i want to feel more confident walking around in a very good body. I want to wear new clothes that show off my new body. I would like girls to be all over me with my new chiseled muscular body. I want to prove to people close to me that anything is possible once you set your mind to it and have the right knowledge and tools to accomplish it. Also people wouldnt mess with me on the streets or in the clubs if i was really muscular. I want to lose the skinny fat body. It just sucks having long arms and legs but fat on the stomach and i want to do what you are doing. I want to be a fitness expert but without real world results no one would listen to me. I want to travel the world and do seminars and look so good up on stage and feel so confident and inspiring to others just the way you do. It would be so amazing to fulfill my dream of looking so good for myself so from the inside i feel so good which will reflect on the outside. I am an action taker so you will definitely see a success story from me.

I Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm, because what I want to do seems to be impossible for other people, at least that’s what they tell me. I want to prove that you can get amazing results while being 100% natural, and when I say natural I mean that I haven’t even tried any kind of protein powder or supplements. I eat very healthy, friends call me healthy freak. I say: “All you need to eat is what Mother Nature gave you, and if its not good enough I will make food work on me so I get results that I want”
Firstly, I started doing bodyweight workouts, and then I moved to a high school gym. Later on after I graduated high school and I signed up for a gym membership, but never got a trainer because I think if you want to get results that no one else achieved then first thing you have to do what others do not know about, and that is to study your own body and learn how it responds to what you do. There is no one else can tell you how much you need to eat to fell satisfied, because you the one who owns that stomach. As long as you follow your instincts and do what you think is right then the only person to blame is you, but no someone else. So far I am 20 years old and as fit as I can get without using any supplements, and I want continue growing and getting better.
Here is my story; I was born in Ukraine, when I was a kid I always wanted to look like my uncle; he was very polite and he knew the etiquette. Also, at the same time he was in amazing shape and he was successful karate fighter. He was my role model and the person I wanted to be like when I grow up. Since I wanted to be and look like him, then I decided I need to do what he was doing. So at the age of 10 I signed up for karate. I was eating oatmeal before practice like he did… etc, so I just followed his footsteps. Later, at the age of 15 I moved to USA and I had to learn how to speak English. I liked America a lot, its land of opportunities. When I went to American school I saw that fitness is very popular here, so I decided to join track team to keep myself in shape. I never was a running person, but my goal was to give it all and beyond what I had on every practice, and in two years I was number 5 XC runner in my senior year. I was not the best but I achieved something my friends did not think I could. Also, in my 7th period gym class I picked lifting room as an activity, so I was doing 3 days full body workouts a week, and after that I would go to my track practice.
In the end, my hard work paid off very well, I respected people and they respected me. At that time I felt like it was easy for me to communicate with American people because I gained confidence. Also, I actually got to be with very amazing girlfriend, she was everything I ever wanted!!! The DREAM GIRL
Sorry Vince for any spelling mistakes, English is my second language.
HAVE A HAPPY EASTER
Hey Vince, the reason I want to be better than the norm is that I have four brothers that told me I couldn’t get a six pack because I don’t have the discipline and the know how. I told them that by June I would have a six pack for when we go to the lake and make them all look bad.. I know you program would get me there!
I have been training now for a year and a few month stated when I was 18 (wanted to finish “growing “) with Sean Nalewanyj muscle gain truth that was a big help then I moved over to the muscle nerds “Jeff Anderson Optimum Anabolic program that was also great.
So I stated with a mass strength gainer” Sean Nalewanyj muscle gain truth” and after a few month close to a year then switched to muscle nerds “Jeff Anderson Optimum Anabolic program for great hormone stimulation (like I said variation is king so have to switch it up even now and then before for the body get use to the stimulation)
These two programs have pushed me mentally and physical to places I never knew I could go (blood, sweat and tears) and I feel I am ready to go beyond from good shape to great shape to the best shape in my life and stay there all naturally.
From what I read in your” 12 untapped targets” you will be able to give my body all the variation in needs and more(for even more strength and muscle development) , knowledge is power and the more I can learn for you and my other fitness role models the better for me. I have learned so much from gym (self discipline, respect, dedication, sacrifice and patience) and would like to apply all these aspect in my everyday life to help others and myself take our bodies and minds to the next level far surpassing our dreams.
Hey Vince,
I want to look greater than the norm because to look better than the norm means you will have greater confidence then the norm, and with greater confidence you are not afraid to go after the things others are afraid of, and will succeed beyond all measures.

Hi Vince,
I am a 23 year old young man that lives and breathes fitness and exercise. I got married last fall and I have even convinced the girl of my dreams to start doing my routines with me! Hows that for making a difference in someone else life? Well … OK it make me happy to
I have been following you now for some time and have made great gains in both strength and size, (hey, I am even typing this in my rest periods while lifting my own weights at home), and would love to take my body to the next level with MYM!
I want an above average body to prove to myself, my friends and family that the impossible is possible if we will only believe in ourselves. I want to become an inspiration to others, be the guy who turns all the heads, and use the principles I learn in the gym to build the business I have recently started and gain the income I want my family to have.

People always judge you intensely during your first meeting and 99 out of 100 first meetings they judge you on your appearance, first impressions are some of the most important impressions. I’ve always regarded body builders as some of the most disciplined people everr, to go to the gym day after day, hitting milestones, upping the weights, going for more reps; it’s something that most people wouldn’t be able to cope with after a few days. I’m not one of them because I want to strive to achieve the best, a 4.0 gpa is my support when people talk to me about whether I’m disciplined or not, but anyone can achieve a 4.0 with hardwork and long study hours, I want to achieve something that most people can’t. In today’s world of high obesity, I want to be an example for people so that people can look at me and I inspire them to join a gym, I want them to say, “if this guy can do it, so can I”.
hey vince and flavia
i want to to look beyond normal because i want to do something that nobody could do. I want people to look at me and say I want to be like you. I want to be inspiration to others. I want to achieve something that others find it difficult. I want to be one in a million. If I had the body above normal i would inspire others to do the same.
Yo Vince,
Why Do You Want To Look Like Something Greater Than The Norm?
Thats a Great Question.
First of all thanks for all the motivation video especially the “F” video. Lols.
I am 17 years old this year. First of all, I am now attending a high school doing Fitness Training. I have the passion,interest and really motivated me by my surrounding friends giving me the stress that you do not have the body to be a personal trainer. So it really makes me almost going into depression. So when I am surfing net I find out about Law Of Attraction.
I am sure you have heard that before, Is so famous in the book “The Secret”. However I have learn various stuff like hyponsis and psychology to help in career and as well as health to a ripped Six Packs Abs thats dream of every single human male in the planet. I have lost some fats using various famous fasting programme ESE and combination of DEFL.
Thats really makes me excited about the war between my FATS and I have finally finish.I have the confidence,passion,interest and my friends,relatives are telling me that I have done a great job on achieving my goal.But I suddenly realised that I am not “big” enough.
So I need to pack some muscle to show off to friends. I have receive various newsletter from Joel and Dr.K that your programme can help me in building fanastic body that I desire for. And of course finding a pretty girlfriend and teach others about building muscles and losing fats. Thanks for the contest.

Alright Vince, I’m not gonna lie, I have always had the trouble, of looking at the skinny corpse just staring back at me. I see it and think, is this me? Is this all I can amount to. Then I saw ur page and my heart dropped, I saw u and how u were and knew, just knew that maybe I can amount to something more, more that just a skinny 130 pound twerp, so I started lifting more, gaining more, I am now 145 pounds of muscle, but still am not satisfied. I just don’t know what else to do. I’m frightened that I will always look like this. This is why I am leaving a comment hoping I’ll win. I want this Vince, I need this, but can’t afford it. Please I hope my story is inspiring enough, cause I mean every word when I say, u were my inspiration
and even If I’m not picked, I want to thank you for giving me the hope I needed.
Hi
My story is that I was born phtsically handicap unlike my siblings who were quote normal. I was never given the opportunity by my parents to participate in sports that would have been beneficial to me. However as a teenager I got into weight training because of the weakness on my left side I have constantly struggled about 15yrs or more with the fluctuation of my weight and also some health issues, I am currently not at the weight I would like to be but I keep the flame burning by still excercising and trying to eat healthy. It does not be a nice thing to hear every time you go to the doctor for a check up that you need to lose weight. Although I may not look it but I am overweight compared to the petit girl I was as a teenager.Besides I am already a big influence on people around me who are trying to lose weight because last year I suffered a mild stroke and could not walk but today I am walking and back in the gym, it was not am easy task because I still am working to get physically fit and be my ideal weight but due to the meds etc the journey is not an easy one and at times you may want to throw in the towel.If I do win this free workout it will be a pleasure and a benefit to help other both family and friends with the knowledge.
Thanks for the consideration.

Vince, I want my body to be better than the norm because I get great pleasure whenever I make a gain to my body.
Ever since I started lifting weights everytime I felt a muscle getting bigger or a new vein popping out excited me like nothing else. It was even more rewarding when other people like friends and family seem to notice all the hard work that you’ve been doing. I think a lot of people just work out to work out without any real purpose. But everytime I go to the gym I make it a point to tear it up because I know the results I can get. I’ve always been known as the kid in high school that works hard in the weight room and in everything I do and having people recongize that made me wanna work even harder.
People who don’t know me may think that I’m just like anyone else and work out a few times a week. But the people who know me know how important my body is to me, I truly treat it like a temple.
My body has became my form of art, I take a huge pride in lifting, eating, rest, anything that will effect my body. That’s just how important it is to me to look better than the norm. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t eat fast food. And at age 19 and in college those are two pretty big obstacles, but to me its fairly easy to do things like that because I will do anything to achieve the body that I’ve always dreamed of.
"Whatever the human mind can concive and belive, it can achive" thats why i want to blow beyond, to prove that this quote is real!
Hey Vince I'm gonna make this really simple. I want to achieve great things in my life like anyone else. I have yet to prove to myself that I have the capability to do so. I am EXTREMELY willing to follow an expert on the stuff (like you) to achieve the body of my dreams to show myself that I can pursue and live out my other dreams and aspirations. I want to live a radically close life to God, live out my life to my fullest potential, and your program would help get me started! Thanks for taking time out of your day to read this! God bless!
Hey Vince im Radu Filipescu from Europe/Romania/Constanta (Ryan Philipson translated in english), i would like to do something greater than the norm, because going beyond the norm in the gym will also get me beyond OUTSIDE the gym! and will inspire thousands of other peopole!
Well…i'd have to take you back 10 years when i was 7 and i used to watch a lot of Dragon Ball Z and watched those guys who were buffed as you can get without almost no bodyfat and i simply thought that was cartoon logic and impossible in real life until i found your programsm but i fell sick and my condition fitness wise got really hurt so…
Right now i'm a worst version of the person i don't want to be. Also i could help my mom get healthy and happy again herself go a lot since my dad walked out on us & she bought a little car that eliminated al exercise provided by walking and i really feel for her so that would really help. I don't want to wonder "what if?", i'll chase my dreams and i'll sacrifice i know that's what will make me better. I have no doubt this is what i have to do.
Hi Vince, I feel that if you don’t know my whole story, you won’t know how I feel and why I was so very excited and involved in commenting on joel’s and your blog posts. This was not easy for me to reveal, as I’m not proud of my past. But I spent a lot of time putting it all together and I hope you’ll take the time to read it, too.
Hi Vince, I want to look better than the norm because I’m sick and tired of wallowing in mediocrity. I can say that I’ve gone through many trials and given up many a time, even falling into an all-time low period a few years ago.
I’d always wanted to achieve athletic success. Like you, I never had much of a talent in sports. I would panic and be a nervous wreck whenever I had the ball. I could not throw or jump well. So, I decided to get fast – at least at medium distance runs. I was moderately successful doing the long, slow cardio thing. I won medals in my school’s 800m, 4x400m, 1500m and 4.2km cross-country in my secondary school’s interhouse sports competition as a result of running endurance runs every week. My school did not have a track and field team but I had decided that I would train on my own and win my way. After all, I could do little else to get recognized. Of course, I didn’t know how to plan a really effective programme and ended up playing soccer and running 2.4km runs once a week and taking my time after each run to see if I improved. Obviously, this wasn’t going to get me fast! However, I still enjoyed moderate success as I’d grown from a fat kid who couldn’t even run 1.6km in under 14 min in primary school’s physical fitness test to clocking 8min 49sec for 2.4km in secondary school! Still, it must be mentioned that although I won medals, I never came in first. Not once. My schoolmates recognized me as the guy who suddenly emerged from nowhere to carry the fortunes of his House on his back through his sheer persistence, but to me, I was still a failure, after the initial novelty of my success wore off – I was never a true champion at my game. Furthermore, I’d never experienced the “runner’s high”. It was nothing more than a myth to me. I hated running, but it was the only thing that brought me athletic success. My passions lay in another area.
My true love has always been soccer. Since 1997, I’ve been an avid supporter of Manchester United and modelled myself after David Beckham. However, I was never really pacey or talented, though my classmates used to pick me in their teams because of my immense workrate, which I’m proud to say had been my quality at the time. However, I never was deemed good enough to play for my high school soccer team, as I was embarrassingly slow. I could certainly run far, but I couldn’t sprint and I just couldn’t head the ball or leap high enough. Work rate didn’t get me anywhere in the only sport I knew that gave me joy in playing. I became a dork who could only run at one speed throughout the game. Plus, I was skinny-fat and weak. Despite practising for many hours on the field near my house, I was never able to develop the skills needed. After this happened, I’m sorry to say that I quite lost my passion for soccer for a ling while. I didn’t have your mental strength. I gave up and thought of myself as rubbish.
These dark days in my life led me to develop eating disorders and I battled bullimia for 2 long years as I struggled to establish myself as a school soccer player. With no one to show me how to train or guide me, I decided that the only way to succeed was to lose fat by eating clean and run longer distances. What a fool I was! Whenever I enjoyed a huge dinner with my friends, I’d feel guilty and puke all my food out. Soon, I developed this as a regular habit – I’d eat mountains of unhealthy food to feed my despair, then vomit everything out. My reasoning was that as long as I didn’t ingest it, I wouldn’t be harmed by the fattening effects of it. This was a shameful period in my life. I grew ashamed of people seeing me eat and shunned my friends’ company. I ate in secret, locked up in my room, to ward off the misery I felt in my life for being such a failure. Another reason for this was that I felt that no matter what I did, I just could not get ripped or lose my skinny fat profile. As a teenager, looks are essential. To someone low in self-esteem and already miserable at his lack of talent, they are everything. And here I was, skinny-fat, weak and unable to change no matter how much I exercised.
When people say that they don’t have natural talent, I can relate completely to how they feel. When you say in your videos that running was your only source of solace and success, I know how you feel. I do understand how agonizing it feels, but the truth is that if we spend the rest of our lives feeling sorry for ourselves, we’d be like the other 95% of ordinary people in the world!
I was fortunate enough to stumble upon many great peoples’ websites a year ago, when I was 18. There was Craig Ballantyne, Vince del Monte, Joel Marion, John Romaniello and Jay Ferruggia, to begin with. You guys inspired me by telling me that even I, a messed up kid, could get the body of my dreams. Of course, at my age, skinny-fat is another severe blow to my confidence and I was made very much worse by my eating disorder. You guys taught me how to build my body up and enjoy seeing it change. Brad Pilon’s ESE must be credited with helping me develop a healthy relationship with food again. This past year, I’ve been doing craig’s TT workouts and seeing myself put on muscle and shed fat. I can’t applaud you more for saying that seeing your body change and succeeding in the gym really enhances your self-image and makes you a more confident person. I’d grown from fat kid to skinny-fat teenager to ripped adolescent. For the first time in my life, this was a lifestyle for me, not a pressure-cooker situation where I absolutely had to succeed or I was finished and my self-confidence would be shattered. For the first time in my life, I felt…alive. I felt self-confident! I loved my body and I loved myself!
Now, I have one ultimate goal – to put on 20Ibs of lean muscle and get that elusive 8-pack. I want to continue on my lifestyle change and prove to myself, my biggest doubter, that I can perfect myself and live large and that girls would turn their heads towards me. I want to prove to myself that I am worth something. This has really given me a new sense of direction!Â
And there’s this girl, my best friend, who’s just too perfect for me. I want to make myself a 10/10 as much as I can and go for her. I believe again and I care for my appearance so much more now, because I love making myself look and feel good! The compliments have been coming, but I know I’m still skinny. I may have lost fat, but I haven’t gained much muscle. I hope you will see that I deserve to be a part of your community and grant me this cool opportunity to coerce with you and the other lucky members of your programme. This is why I want to look and be better than the NORM. This is why I hope you will give me the chance to prove to myself that indeed, I’m not rubbish. But regardless of whether I’m chosen for your free giveaway, I want to thank you for having played a part in helping ne know that if I don’t take charge of my life, I’ll always be a failure. If I don’t make changes and continue wallowing in misery, I’ll only be setting up myself for a lifetime of self-pity. So, as you say, f*** that! And my deepest gratitude for you being such an enormous influence in my life.
