Featured Body Transformation: Gino Aquino

By Vince On June 28, 2010 47 Comments

For the entire month of July I will brining you a new incredible transformation at least once a week, sometimes more often. These motivational stories will show you everything you will ever need to know on how to finally create the body of your dreams.

Feeling unmotivated? Well, look no further. Your fellow bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts are here to give you all the drive you’ll need!

Note: Each person featured here are Vince Del Monte customers of either No Nonsense Muscle Building, Maximize Your Muscle or Your Six Pack Quest.

Meet 1st Runner Up of the Maximize Your Muscle Body Transformation Contest: Gino Aquino

“I managed to lose 7.77 lbs of fat and gain 7.33 lbs of lean body mass. My main focus was to lose fat during this time so I could be ripped on my 30th birthday during my vacation. So I ate at a deficit for most of the time with a surplus/cheat day every 4th day.

As any experienced trainer knows, it is very difficult to achieve both loss of fat and muscle gain at the same period. I was extremely suprised that using MYM I not only got ripped, I gained almost just as much muscle! I would be amazed to think what would have happened in terms of muscle gain if I focused on bulking up and ate at a surplus all the time. Thanks Coach Vinny! ”

Vince: So you’re from Australia? What’s the bodybuilding culture like down under?

Gino: I guess that would depend on what you mean by bodybuilding? If you’re referring to people who go to the gym to exercise and “put on a little muscle and lose a little fat”, then I’d say it’s very popular amongst the general population.

If you go by what is seen on television and products sold in magazines etc… then fitness and health seems to be up there with most people’s priorities. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of younger people going to the gym nowadays, like high school kids to people in there twenties, much more than there were when I used to casually visit at that age.

If you’re referring to competitive bodybuilding, it is very much growing. I recently went to watch a state competition held in Sydney, and there were almost 200 competitors, with over 1500 in the audience, even during the pre-judging. That may not sound like much but that was maximum capacity and they had to turn people away. Apparently it was a record for that show.

Vince: How old are you and what inspired you to get into bodybuilding?

Gino: I have just recently turned 30 years old. I guess my inspiration was wanting to be more than the skinny guy. I saw guys with strong athletic bodies as those who gained respect from their peers, had much more self confidence, surrounded by lots of friends and had the attention of girls, basically everything I wasn’t. I grew up being
very shy and quiet, lacking confidence and social skills… the perfect recipe to be a typical geek through school; I kept to myself and excelled with my studies. In fact I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t have my first girlfriend until I was almost 20!

Vince: You lost fat and gained muscle at the same time? Share your numbers and how long did it take?

Gino: I started my transformation focused on losing fat and getting ripped. I was not expecting to recompose my body the way I did and put on muscle at the same time. I took my measurements over a period of 16 weeks.

At the start, I was 176 lbs @ 10.1% bodyfat. By week 10, I had dropped to 171.2 lbs @ 5.1% bodyfat. I had burned about 9 lbs of fat and gained 4.2 lbs of lean body mass.

Unfortunately this rate did not continue for me as I had an accident and stupidly fell down the stairs and had as my GP and physiotherapist described as the “sprained ankle from hell”. I was in a cast and crutches for over a week and could not
walk nor obviously train my lower body for some time.

I refused to let it get the better of me and continued with upper body workouts. At the
end of 16 weeks I was 175.6 lbs @ 5.7% bodyfat. This was 7.77 lbs less fat and 7.37 lbs more lean mass than when I started. So although my weight barely changed, I feel the transformation was quite dramatic.

Vince: Share your eating strategy to accomplish this “impossible” goal.

Tacfit Challenge with Vince Del Monte

By Vince On June 11, 2010 25 Comments

Watch The Recruit Workout I’m Using To Work Up To The Full TACFIT Commando Workout:

Summary of Video:

It’s 15-days before I m getting married!

A lot of friends and family have asked Flavia and I: “Are you two going to workout during your honeymoon?”

Believe it or not, we were actually going to take a complete month off – but just recently decided against that.

You can find out why in the video above.

Our plan is to be dominating, crushing and killing the TACFIT Commando Challenge while on our Honeymoon and we’re using the Recruit version of the workout to get us ready.  Plus I’ll send you more workout videos the next few days to get you ready for the Israeli Special Forces Tacfit Challenge you can pick up at http://www.HoneymoonWorkout.com

Here’s our dilemma:

1. One month away from working out will hurt your gains and Flavia and I are apart of Joel Marion’s wedding 2-weeks after we retun so we want to look good for his wedding too.

2. We’re going to be blowing our diets for the entire month and indulging all of our senses (Hey, it is our Honeymoon) for the entire month and I anticipate I’ll be eating a lot of bread, drinking lots of wine and having lots of ice cream and chocolate.  And that’s just for breakfast :)

3. I’m not taking ANY supplements with me – no multis, protein powder or fish oils.  Nothing.

4. Our honeymoon destination equals NO GYMS! And even if there were, we’ll probably walk right pass them.

Our Big Problem:

We’re going to pack on some chub if we don’t do some sort of exercise beyond the typical “honeymoon style exercise” and despite all the walking we’ll be doing. We trained our butts off for June 26th and we don’t want to come back like tub-a-yards on July 27th.

Our Solution:

Flav and I want a bodyweight workout that we can use to stay fit on our honeymoon that will not take longer than 20-minutes a day and only 3 times per week. The focus of our honeymoon is not working out and neither of us of taken an extended break from training so working out is not our focus.

We do want to stimulate our metabolisms, burn some calories and hit our muscles so we can enjoy all the food though.  And since we’re only training 3 times a week, we want a program that acts fast and hits us hard.

Enter TACFIT Commando.

I have tried every bodyweight program under the sun except TACFIT Commando.  This is the stuff Navy Seals, Marines and Real-Life Secret Agents are using right now to chisel rock hard bodies and maintain mission readiness – anywhere, anytime, with absolutely no equipment.

Pick up a sample workout for FREE:

http://HoneymoonWorkout.com

And use the Recruit Workokut, provided in the video above if the Israeli Special Forces TACFIT Challenge Workout is too difficult for you.  It was too hard for me, which is why I provided the Recruit version today.

Do you think you can man up to this kind of challenge?

If so, I’m going to put you to the test. And reward you for your valour.

Film your performance of the workout and post it to YouTube. Make sure you title the video “TACFIT Commando Vince Del Monte Challenge.” I’ll be watching all the videos with my buddy Adam Steer from the TACFIT team.

We’ll be picking winners based on the numbers you put up and the correct form on the exercises. To win, you have to post your video by the end of the day on Tuesday.

And here’s what the winners get:

Top Dog – 1 year of Maximize Your Muscle ($839.40 Value)

Second In Command – Free TACFIT Commando program ($197 Value)

Also, anyone who can do all 20 rounds of the Challenge at the highest level gets a ticket to attend a teleconference with me and Scott Sonnon, founder of the TACFIT system and trainer to spies and spec ops soldiers around the globe! This won’t be until after my wedding though, so you’ll have to be patient…

Look forward to seeing your videos. Make sure you email me with the link so I can view them too.

Vince

P.S. Again, don’t forget, if the Israeli Challenge is too tough, do the Recruit Challenge you can find in the video up top.
