M4:D44 (D344) H.I.T. Bodybuilders

  

What's on my mind today?

Monday I begin a series of posts on bodybuilders who have used the H.I.T. training philosophy.  I will give a brief history of each one of the bodybuilders I discuss as well as some photos of them in their prime.  I will attempt to discuss how H.I.T. helped them in their career.  I believe in understanding the history of a sport and since I have developed a love for the sport of bodybuilding, I plan to learn as much as I can about its history.  In turn, I plan to share this history with the readers of this blog.  I hope you enjoy this series as much as I am going to enjoy writing it.

The bodybuilders I plan to discuss are:

  1. Dorian Yates
  2. Mike Mentzer
  3. Dave Draper
  4. Casey Viator
  5. Ray Mentzer
  6. Sergio Oliva
The history about these guys is pretty amazing to read.  I enjoyed doing the research and will really enjoy presenting the history here for you to read.  Please return each day starting Monday to read the latest update in this series.

Powerful Reasons Why

We have all discussed our Powerful Reasons Why in the past, but today I thought I'd show you 3 of my Powerful Reasons Why. 



Alyssa is 6 years old.  She loves to watch me do my pictures.  Her favorite is "muscle pictures" and so here she is copying some poses I normally do during "muscle picture" day.



Mitchell is 6 years old.  He copies anything his dad and his brother do.  He's got a mischievous smile and an awesome personality.



Matthew is 13 years old.  He has started lifting weights with me a couple of times a week.  I now have him (and my oldest daughter - 16) on a H.I.T. routine.  They are both making some pretty amazing progress.  Matthew's passion in life is ice hockey.  He plays goalie and has for several years now.  The only person goofier in the house than me is Matthew.

My oldest, Ashley (16), was not around or I'd have had her pose as well.  Maybe some other time?

As you can see, I have some pretty Powerful Reasons Why to keep me going.

      Thanks for the compliment on the children.  They are pretty incredible.  As for giving away my book, well, that's to be debated.  I have tons more information to share that will end up in the book.  I am also going to be starting up a blog and possibly a membership website pretty shortly.  The new blog is in the design phase now and will blow the socks off the fitness industry.  The membership site will accompany the blog.

      Thanks, Juli.  I am making an effort to share the more personal side of my life these days because they are the big reason I fight so hard in the gym.  Since the two oldest ones have been joining me for workouts I have even more reason to take my workouts to the ultimate limit--I want them to see what hard work really is all about.

    What a surprise! I always read your blog daily, but had no idea it would be such a SPECIAL one. Loved seeing your kiddos, and may I say they are such special one. So cute, handsome, pretty...know you are so proud of them. Love that you are teaching them how to copy PAPA, and know they´ll have a big advantage of learning at an early age. Love your family Michael!
