ninjabill’s BodyBlog

It’s amazing how the Iron can help change a mood! I guess over the last few days I have felt like I’m on overload. My body has felt drained and my mood was just blah! I did train (felt like I cheated myself a little) and trained my clients ….but it felt like I was just going thru the motions. So today I told myself… Self (AKA Ninjabill) get your head out of your ass and get on it!! So against my desire to just sleep…. I loaded up on N.O Explode and pushed myself into the gym. I started my routine as I always do…. I read the little yellow Post it Note my wife wrote to me two years ago. Then I reminded myself the only easy day was yesterday! Then as if the Iron Gods were sending me a sign….. my song (lose your self in the moment) came on and told me it was time to get serious. I decided to go heavy today and everything just seemed to flow. I pushed past some old limits and even uped my sets. I usally look at the pictures of Ronnie Coleman , Branch Warren, Markus Ruhl on my gym walls and find inspriration….. but today the mirror was my focus. I’m not very big into being a Mirror whore, but today after every lift I caught myself staring. It was great to really be able to see my muscles swell as I lifted…. but it also told the story of how much harder I need to push. The over all picture was this. I’m bigger than I used to be… but smaller than I want to be! Plus I figured if I want my business to continue to grow…. I have to keep ahead of my clients. I have always said Larry Lardass is not the best spokes person for Slimfast!! How can I exspect clients to put out 100%  if my body is saying I dont? Well the boot straps are tightened now….. the Iron is my focus! It’s Lead, Follow, or get the hell out of the way!   Keep on Keepin!

Hello peeps!    Well yesterday was a record day for me. I trained 6 people plus myself in one day! That was 7 1/2 hours in my Gym. Yeah it’s like having another full-time job…lol  I’m very excited about the changes that are going down… Clients continue to join….. all my lifts are getting stronger…. and I managed to pull out my first full-body Bulldog…lmao  I’m sorry I have not been as active on here as I use to be. Besides Working/training/chasing my rent money…. I seem to be full throttle all the time. The guy that is making my website…. lost his Grandma the other day…. so the site is on delay till he gets the funeral and things behind him (I feel bad for him)  I have been getting some feed back from you guys about my Prison Preps….. Glad to hear you guys are getting tore up by them…lmao (sadistic laugh) they will really shape your butt up… if you do them regular. Well I have 2 clients comming today…. and I really want to get a leg workout in before they come. I also want to try and catch up with you guys and your blogs….. so till I have something really cool to tell ya (like I ever really do…lol) You guys keep on keepin!      Gorilla hugs to you all!

The world goes on…. people pass without saying hello. Do they know me? Or do they really even care? Saying goodbye to old friends… I set out on my own journey… compelled to find my own way. It may not be the road most would choose to travel, but it’s my road! Everyday I’m faced with the same questions…. the questions that I create for myself. Why? when is enough really enough? Besides family my only friend seems to be the Iron. I spend several hours each day below the bar… it knows me! It knows my strength…. it knows my weakness…. and it knows it just cant push me aside! My Gym is a reflection of myself. I post sayings on my wall… as thoughts cross my mind. Words that drive me… words that strike desire inside …. words that breed anger…. words that mean nothing and everything at the same time. REAL MEN HAVE MASS!…  The More Iron You Throw…. The More You Grow!…. Lift It Or wear it!!  To many these words seem foolish…. to me they are reminders of where I’m headed. Am I Alone?  Or do you feel like this is a lonely path? But would I have it any other way?….. NO! Living with the pain has become the norm…. the pain most avoid at all cost. They want it!… but they wont pursue it. Are they weak of mind or weak of heart? I believe it’s both! Being lazy wont make a man! Give it all…. or give nothing at all! Yeah who really gives a shit?  I do….. this is MY SACRIFICE  and I wear it proudly!!

Keep on Keepin!

Wow! This journey into bodybuilding has been some ride. When I started bodybuilding close to 2 years ago… I never dreamed it would lead to any where but sweating in my basement…lol  I wanted to get into shape…. but I never thought it would become such a driving force in my life! There are so many things I never saw myself doing… or should I say thought I could / would be doing? First off is my training. I never thought I would be a Personal Motivator for others. Hell to be honest…. when I started I was skeptical like my Wife…. how long will this last? I tend to lose interest in things very quiclky. Well since I have started training others… my passion for bodybuilding has grown even larger. Now not only do I get to see my own body achievements… I have 7 extra bodies (right now) to watch change. I also get to watch and enjoy the happiness of my clients as they reach and surpass their goals…. now thats exciting! I have been graced with the oppertunity to do a Ad for Bodybuilding.com in several different magazines. I also have a up comming billboard Ad for a local company named Armstrongs. I have also had a lot of exposure at the Hospital where I work… in news letters and Monthly Info print (largest Employer in the county) and now my Gym Gear. I’m working on a website right now (with some expert help…lol ) to Sale some of my Gym gear with different sayings. I have teamed up with a local print shop….who will be turning out my ideas. I hope to have it up and online real soon. I will offer T-shirts…. Muscle Shirts… Hats & Beanies and of course…. there is a large discount to my friends of "THE CIRCLE"  Just seeing Pics of you hard bodies in my gear…. would be awsome!!  Also I have some exciting news :  Last night after a training session with a Husband and Wife that I train very regular…. who have also become close friends to my family. They brought a very thought out business offer to the table. They want to become partners in the Gym I have been looking into starting (I mean out of my Basement….lol) and brought some very new and exciting ideas. I have been looking for a building for awhile…. but I refuse to over pay for it! They brought a very economical idea I had not considered. I have a 1 1/2 car detached garage…. that basically I use as a shed…. since I have a 2 1/2 car garage attached to my home. Well they brought the plan of converting that garage into a gym (very quick and easy solution) and would be about 3 of the Gyms I have right now. Renovation of the Garage into a gym could be done for under $25,000 including the extra equipment I would like to purchase. It would be all season ready  with a full bath. They said they would like to go in half on this endever. Well then my Wife threw out option #2 (she has a very good Business mind and sometimes keeps me grounded….lol)  She asked why dont you just convert your one property into your gym?  I have a Two bedroom Two Story House that is vacant right now. I’m already covering the mortgage cost anyways..why not use it?  I could use the first floor and full basement for exercise areas… have a Kitchen for the supplement whores…lol  Also has a full Bath… Could use one Bed room as a office / Gym gear Headquaters….lol and convert the other into a gaming room incase they bring kids along while they work out. Just have a couple X-box games and Tv’s and throw in a couple computers…. Just something to keep the kids entertained why the parents work out. That house also has a 1  1/2 car garage detached that could be used as a work out area in the warmer months. There is ample parking area and could be easliy re-zoned (spot zone) to OS from R-2… so I could operate the business out of it. Not the greatest layout I admit!  But could be used until a better oppertunity presents it’s self. Also free’s up cash for the purchase of the equipment I would like to add.  Well a lot to think about!! I also have a business oppertunity from are Bro of the Iron and his lovely Wife  Mr & Mrs. Trixter & JG  (AKA…. Adam & Courtney)  That just might work nicley into the online store for my gym gear.  If you want to know more about that oppertunity (which I think looks like a good oppertunity for some extra supplement money…lol ) you will need to ask Mr. Trixter….. thats his baby…. and he knows a lot more about it than I do!  Well I have a ton of things to get done today… starting with the moving of the Iron…. a rental repair…. and ending with Two training sessions tonight (oh and have to drop off my logo for the t-shirts) Well till then keep on Keepin…. you never know where your journey will lead you! For me combining Two things I love (working out and Business) it just dont get any better than that!!

To Supp? or not to Supp is the question! Well this topic has been a on going battle for a long time here on Bodybuilding.com and in the bodybuilding world in general. How effective are Supplements? Will you become more muscular using them?  Or do Supplements cause harm to the body?  Now for those of you that know me…. know that I love to use Supplements. If it’s out there I want to try it! Supplements also keep lifting interesting to me.  I get excited to see what a product will do for me…. or to me when I order one.  Now do I think you have to use Supplements to bodybuild?  NOPE!  I think you can do a lot with just using the proper nutrition and working out. OKay lets face it…. this is not the 1950’s anymore! Welcome to 2008 folks…. a time when everything is about speed and ease. Now I dont care how many Supplements you take…. with out busting your ass in the Gym…. your not going to get any where.  Just because the lable said that it makes lean Muscle Mass… does not mean it will happen without exercise.  Okay back to the point I was making about it being 2008! I know I for one do not have the time…. to eat 6 perfect meals a day. I dont have the time to cook (plus I really dont like to cook that much…. love to grill though) so with work…. 3 boys , Rental Properties, Yard and pool up keep, Training clients….. and working out myself…. I pretty much eat on the run! So to me it only makes since to use Supplements. If I only have time to eat 3x’s a day and I can make up what I’m missing with the help of a quick and easy shake! OKay how many times have you skipped a workout because you were to tired?  Dont Lie…. you know you have done it…lol  Well I dont really have that problem anymore. I use N.O Products to give me energy boost… Caffiene pills…. I also will use Power trip. I will take what ever I need to…. to get the GO going to pump the Iron. I know some people will say Supplements are not safe. They cause so many harmful side effects.  Okay maybe thats true in some cases…. but that dont mean it’s the norm. Hell everyone that smokes does not get cancer….. and everyone that drinks… dont die of liver failure. I’m pretty sure we will all die of something…. I just want to be a Freak when I go….lol  What was it like 10 years ago…. Eggs were going to kill you if you ate them?….lol  There will always be someone out to find a negative in a positive!  I dont beileve the hype either way till I try it.  Yes some of the supplements I have tried… just dont do a thing for me…. but I have heard other people say they work great for them.  Thats why I say you have to try it to see if it works for you…. everyone is different.  Here is another thing I think about! Bodybuilding.com Gives a great site…. with a ton of information…. Bodyspace (great people and support) and what do they charge us?  Yeah thats right…nothing!  Well how do they do this? The sale of Supplements!  I buy all my Supplements from Bodybuilding.com…. are they always the cheapest?  Not always….. but I believe in a thing called loyality! When you buy from Bodybuilding.com… that only enhances what they will offer back down the road! Look at the US economy… yep major slump!  Well here is a ideal…. keep buying things made over sea’s  and keep putting US citizens out of jobs!  Okay short of steroids…. I’m looking for any help I can get to grow! Hell if the prison factor was not one of the outcomes possible from using Steroids… I would try them.  It comes down to this!    TO EACH THEIR OWN!!    Do what you feel is right for you…. but dont knock me for doing what I feel is right for me!  Let your body do the talking…. Show use what a Supplement free body looks like. Now from a Supplement users stand point… I look at it like this (just my own thoughts here)  If your scared to use Supplements just admit it! Dont knock them ….. because you dont have the balls to use them. Most likley they would not work for you any ways.  Like I said…. you still have to Wrestle the Iron hard.  THE MORE IRON YOU THROW….. THE MORE YOU GROW!!!  And most likley you spend more time reading the crap written to down play Supplements…. than you spend in the Gym!   Oh and Yes Protien powder is a Supplement…. so dont try to pick and choose whats a Supplement and whats not!  Till then Keep on Keepin!

OKay My Peeps!!   Give me a little feed back here…  Please     I said I was going to get some T-shirts done for my Personal Motivating business. Well it took awhile to find some one who could draw…..lol   My Wife walks each day with a group of people at work…. and one of the guys is this really quite guy named Steve (Silent Steve…lol) Well it turns out Steve can draw like a Big Mug!!  Dude draws all kinds of stuff…. really big into like cartoon art.  Well he hooked me up with a logo  (worlds already had the Gorilla….lol)  So tell me what you think before I send them to print.  I have several diffrent sayings on the bottom of the logo…. and can put whatever I want. (Yeah the Ninja can work Paint shop pro 9.0 on his PC…lol ) Let me know if the logo is cool or if I need to bend Silent Steve over!…lol   Keep on Keepin!

OKay maybe you are new to bodybuilding… or maybe your one of the fine peeps of " THE CIRCLE "  either way here is Ninja school 101….lol   As I approach the 2 year mark of working out almost everyday… I realized that I’m not loosing steam. I’m as dedicated today (if  not more so) as I was on day 1.  Now in the past I have always started and lost interest in working out. I guess the reason I have become such a diehard is the fact I like to keep it fresh. I’m always changing up my work out routines…. and just like in a marriage you have to keep the spice alive or it gets boring.  I think one of the things that keeps the new in the game is all the different supplements I try. To me I like to try new things (some I stick too) but if it’s new I want to try it! I just like the excitement of maybe finding a wonder supplement that will take me over the top. Now do I believe it’s out there??   NO!  it’s just the supplement whore in me I cant control….lol   I also enjoy creating new exercises to do…. like my Prison Preps (#1 with my clients) I also have the Jack-knife Leg extensions…. Leg Extentions while at the same time doing crunches…oh yeah those will burn…lol  Rolling dips….  doing dips off the bench…placing your feet on a long bar and as you go down let the bar roll away from you…. then keep your feet on the bar and bring it back as you come up. Just anything to mix it up!  It’s kinda like sex… if you have one poistion…. you get where you dont even want to do it…  BORING!!!!   Now like my Bro BodyAuditor (Scott) throw in a Donkey…and it’s all good…lmao  I guess besides enjoying training others (or torturing..lol) making it fun and not a choir is what it’s all about!! I have also realized that I will never be happy! I will always want to be bigger… so there is no ending point. I dont have a end goal I’m shooting for. I’m in it for the long haul…. the day they stuff my super sized ass in a extra small coffin is the end date…lol  So if your just starting out…. there is no end tommorrow!  One week out you will not look like Branch Warren….  I know that sucks huh?…lmao  The More Iron You Throw…. The More You Grow!!  Thats what I tell my clients!  Hell I dont even really call myself a Personal Trainer….. I’m just a Personal Motivator! I’m just a tool for my clients to feed off of to help them keep going.  Plus there is no exit sign from under my bar….. you push it…. or I will let you wear it for a minute!  Fear is a great tool.  They have always said lead by example and thats what I try to do. When my Male clients say I want to have Arms like yours… I always say ….. then do what I do!  If I do 10 sets of 12….. dont stop at 3 sets of 6.  I like to think that the concept of building Muscle is easy. You keep Busting Ass…and your Muscles have no choice but to grow!! You lift like a Paperdoll….. and you will look like a Paperdoll! Pretty Simple.  Well thats Ninja bodybuilding 101….lmao I hope in some warped way you got something from all that… besides Donkey Sex is Awsome….lmao   Till then…… Hit it Hard and Hit it often…. and she will never stray!….oops  wrong lesson….lmao  I meant to say…. Keep On Keepin… Make the Big Happen!

Well here I’am comming off my 4 day vacation (first vacation in over 2 years… well more than 3 days off) and I feel quilty!!  Yep I went crazy on my diet. I drank way to much Beer!! I really dont drink that much… so this last few days I have felt my true Irish/Indian side emerge…lol  I’m such a Summer whore… man I love the sun! I really need to move to AZ… or back to Cali… so I can enjoy the rays year round.  I really hate winter. Grey skys, shitty roads, snow blowing to get out…. what do people really see in it?  Well I finally had to go all Gorilla on the neighbor guy about his Wolves. A guy that lives a couple houses up has four Wolves (same guy of the kid I take care of 24/7) and they do nothing but bark and howl non-stop. Man they are loud as hell!!  Well I said some thing to him about a month ago (in a nice way) about the Wolves being loud and the neighbors all complaining. Well I was hoping he would take the hint… but NOOOO!  His Retarded side pre-vailed. Well the night before I went to the Nascar Race I was laying in bed with my wife…. and those damn Wolves were going nutz. Then I heard my Neighbor Scott that lives behind me…. Yelling at Josh (Wolve owner/ Dumbass) He was trying to tell him enough was enough. Well I hear Josh going all postal.. about Scott being full of shit about the Wolves being to loud. So now I’m pissed that he is that stupid! So I slap on some shorts and it’s off to do some fence hopping. Well two fences later I’m in Josh’s face. I explained that I had tried to be nice about his loud ass dogs…. but this was total bullshit and I was done. Either shut the damn dogs up…. or I will **** you up!!  I have not heard his dogs since that night….  wow peace and quite. I guess you had to really be there to see how stupid he is. He was saying no one else had complained. Scott said they just dont have the balls to do so. I said I tried to tell you nice…but dude you just dont give a shit! Now I have listen to your loud ass dogs all I’m going too! He came back with…. well they wake me up also!  WHAT???  Then doing something Dumbass!! Now he cant take care of his kid… but he is all concerned about his Wolves. There should be a IQ test before you reproduce!!  Now his Son has been at his Grandmas for about a week now… we have not seen him. Well Josh called and left a message… His boy has Head lice…. wanted us to know so check our boys. I just cut my Boys hair the other day (yep summer Cuts..lol ) and they have no lice. The thing that pisses me off is this. His boy has a wild mop of hair on his head (not the boys fault) and all year when he was here every night… we would make him take baths / comb his hair / brush his teeth the basics! Now here it is about 13 days into the summer and the Boy has head Lice!  Ummmm  How about making sure the boy is taken care of?  Maybe cut his hair? Ummmm Showers help…. and I’m sure living in a house that is filthy…. with four Wolves dont help! Okay enough ranting…. it’s time to go toss some Iron to release the frustration of Stupid Neighbors!  I have always said fences make the best neighbors….lmao  Well it’s time to beat the Beer out of me…… till then….  keep on Keepin!

Oh Yeah feels like summer here!! I’m such a Summer Lover…. have to love grilling out, swimming in the pool, drinking my Hillbilly Beer Busch light and soaking in the Sun. Yeah thats what I did yesterday and man did it feel good. My wife had invited a couple clients / friends now over to hang out…. we had a pretty relaxing time. Yeah I have even got a tan going…. look out my brothers of another color…. here comes Ninja dark…lmao  Well then it was back to work last night…. man for once in a long long time… I was dreading going in! I still had all that Beer wanting me to drink it…lol  Now I know you guys are thinking…. Ninja have you lost your mind??  Beer is not good for a bodybuilding figure…. yes you are right….but damn is it good….lmao   It’s Back day in the Gym for me….. might do some light legs also. OKay I got a Manta Ray …. and I’m really just wanting to try it…lol  They had a block sale yesterday around my nieghbor hood…. so I told my client Eric….. come on lets walk around and see if we can find some Iron for sale (can never have enough Iron) well we did not find one lb any where…. which leads me to believe…. that all my nieghbors are sissies…lmao  We had to stop Garage hoppin…. I was thinking people were thinking Eric and I were a couple…lmao Do real Men Garge Sale together?…lol  I dont know what Eric was thinking… he asked if he could do the grilling when we were going to eat…. those are fighting words!!  You dont ask to touch another mans Grill!!…lmao My whole week was filled with some really awsome CW comments…. so I think this weight gain is really muscle…..     I also have had a little size gain (measured) in my arms…. yeah for bigger arms!! Well I have the day off… just got up from working 3rd and 3 extra hours into first shift. So now I must go toss the Iron…. then I’m going to swim and chill the rest of the day with my family. I have a rental I need to go get ready to rent again…. but it will be there later. Wow I’m getting lazy in my old age…lol  Till then keep on keepin!
