Notable Quotes:
"It's funny, how about that. People treat you differently when you have muscles. You know what I mean?"
"And I was able to put on about 25 to 30 pounds of lean mass over the next 12 to 18 months just by working out and taking protein and some creatine. And through that transformation, 1, I got to see how people started looking at me differently, which was nice."
"The only way to do it is to take small steps every single day. I had the same problem when it came to going to the gym. I tried to do everything all at once and I hit it so hard and yeah. You get burned out really quick because you're trying to gain everything within a week or 2, not reality."
"It's not if they're going to win, it's when we're going to win. And that's a cool spot to be in anything in my opinion."
"As long as every day you're getting up with the intention to be better, eventually you're going to that wall down and on the other side of that is the success, are the goals that you're trying to reach, are the things that you're trying to get to, but a lot of people you know, same with social media. It's like, you start. And it's like, this is hard. Or you're not seeing the results. Same exact thing. Like, you're not seeing the results right away. Then people pull back and they say, well, fuck, it didn't work for me. But how the hell do you expect it to work if you're not going to, you know, consistently do it every day?"
"If you can give something 60 to 90 days of real work, that's really going to give you the first inclination of like, okay, is this moving me towards where I want to go?"
"What I really am passionate about is coaching people, specifically coaches and business owners, on what are the successful behaviors that you need to get these different things that you want in your life. Some of them are business related, some of them are personally related, but it will always be fitness. That introduced me to that whole realm and that."
"It's not only the consistency. It's what you want to be, you want to have a certain amount of time that we're allotted in a day. Right? People say you have 24 hours, but you do need to sleep. Sleep is really important. It is."
"What do you really want? And that's something that we never ask ourselves. And then when we do, we distract ourselves and go out. Let me go flip the channel. Let me think about something else. I don't really want to actually think about what I really want because then that's going to expose the work that I need to do or the work that I haven't been doing."
"You have to ask yourself what you want more. Do you want to get towards the end of your life and look back and say, Fuck. You know what? I had so many other plans and I didn't pull the trigger and you have that heavy regret for never pulling the trigger."
"What if all that failure or learning opportunities we're being built and specifically designed to groom you, to be ready to become the type of person to handle and receive the things that you truly want. What if that is why it's happening in your struggling and you're smashing your face. And then you start looking at going, I'm being groomed right now. It's painful. It's it hurts like hell, but I'm being smoothed in my."
"It's not only forgiving myself for shit because Quite frankly, but I'm also to blame for a lot of the shit that I went through in my life. I made terrible choices when I was a kid, which put me in the predictions that I was in. Yes, the people that had power over me at that time, you know, made decisions that put me in a bad spot, but it was my decisions ultimately that led me to where I ended up."
"Listen, at the end of the day, whatever you don't have in your life, you only have 1 finger to point. I mean, you know, and that's honestly, like, all the lessons I've learned over the last 4 or 5 years of working on myself is that I spent a lot of time blaming others for the reason why I didn't have what I wanted."
"It's like enough. What happened? Oh, that's great. I feel really bad for you. I don't give a shit. It's you. Like you, like, here's the mirror. I'm going to put it right in front of you. Look. The person looking back at you is the reason why you don't have what you want."
"Most people want both. What I found and I'm, you know, quite better as planned for 37 years so far, is I have found that those very rarely go together."

There is a lot of misinformation about body sculpting. People always want to get rid of fats in some areas and get other parts of their body bigger. The reality of body sculpting is that you can accomplish it. However, you need to have a strong foundation first. You do this by dropping your body fat percentage, then build your muscles. This will then help you target a specific muscle group.
You have to chisel away the big block first to reveal the masterpiece underneath. The big problem here is that you cannot control where the fat will decide to come off first. The areas where you really want the fat to come off first may be the last. However, you need to keep doing the right things with exercise and diet.
Once you have a really good foundation and your body fat has gone way done, you can then start targeting certain body parts and hitting them hard. When targeting specific body parts like the arms, you have to train the surrounding areas as well.
So in a nutshell, for body sculpting to work, you have to drop your body fat percentage, build your muscles, and get a strong foundation. Once you have this base, you can then isolate specific muscle groups and train them hard.
