Contest Preparation SECRETS: Taking Scheduled  Physique Assessment Photos During Your Contest Preparation 

Although It May Be Painful At Times To See the Way You  Really Look During Your Journey, You Must Take Assessment Photos Every Step  Along the Way.

Be sure to take pictures to document the  changes and improvements your body experiences during your contest preparation  journey. You should take pictures on a regular basis. Weekly physique assessment  photos during your last 12 to 20 weeks prior to your show will be tremendously  helpful tools as you strive to become your very best.

Sometimes you’ll  like what you see in the pictures—and sometimes you will not. These photos will  sometimes be rewarding, motivating, constructively critical, a boost to your  ego, fun, and mementos that you’ll cherish in the future.

But let me  warn you that weekly physique assessment photos can sometimes be depressing,  mentally taxing, emotionally draining, inconvenient, and challenge your desire  to continue as well. It’s up to you to use the photos and the positive and/or  negative feedback to your advantage. The chances are great that you will not  always be satisfied with the progress (or lack of progress) your physique  assessment photos demonstrate.

It will be very common for you to think  that your progress is actually much better than the photos reveal. Pictures,  however, do NOT lie. That’s how you really look. It’s your perception that lies.  Remember that it’s a lot better to find out what you need to work on 20 weeks  before a contest when you can actually do something about it than 20 minutes  after your contest when you can’t.

No matter how much of an  inconvenience physique assessment photos may be to take, invest the time to  follow through and take them anyway. No matter how painful or disappointing they  may be to look at, be sure you take them anyway.

Physique assessment  photos will help you become the very best you can be when your contest date  arrives. And, when you look at the photos a few months after your show, you’ll  realize then that you were much too hard on yourself at the time the photos were  taken.

Displaying your hard-earned development in the most complimentary  manner is very important when you step on stage in front of the judges at  contest time. Physique assessment photos are also a good opportunity for you to  practice your mandatory poses and show off your physique properly.

Invest in a digital camera with a self-timer. You should also buy a  tripod. That way, you will not need to depend on anyone else to take your  pictures. Believe me, it will be tough enough to stay motivated to take you own  physique assessment shots on a weekly basis. Don’t complicate the process even  more by creating the need to coordinate with another person.

Set the  camera on the tripod at the same position the judges will be doing their work:  Looking up at your physique about 15 to 20 feet away.

You should also  take the photos in as close to the exact same setting every time. That way, you  can make fair comparisons and better evaluate your progress. If you take your  pictures outside, try to take them at the same time of day. How the sun casts  shadows on your body will be important to the quality and usefulness of the  physique assessment photos.

“I want  to thank you for teaching me your contest preparation strategies in your  seminar. What a ton of information for a very modest fee. You’re awesome, dude!  The biggest thing I got out of it is the mental toughness that a person needs if  they want to succeed in reaching their bodybuilding goals. That mindset that the  challenge it’s ‘me against me.’ I’m looking forward to the challenge”

Colin LaRose

“Thanks for this ULTIMATE Contest Preparation Seminar,  Skip! The value of this information is above and beyond the investment.

“I would really like to thank you for your training, nutrition, and  competition advice in your ULTIMATE Contest Preparation seminar. I invested in  your seminar not knowing what to expect. I came out of it feeling more dedicated  and more confident than ever for my competition. This is also my first  competition, so every single detail of the competition preparation is all on  paper and good to go! I get to listen to YOU tell me everything I need to know  and be prepared for in the comfort of my own home, bus, car, etc. I feel  mentally and physically stronger than ever before, my goals are much stronger,  and I have never wanted to win anything so badly in my life. I’m 12 weeks out  and each week has plans and goals that are well-structured, Now, it’s simply  time to execute. If anyone out there is thinking about investing in a program  such as this, do so! It is money well spent for advice coming from someone who  has many, many years of experience. Keep on keeping on!”

“Thank goodness you have  taken the time to observe, record, analyze, and share your wealth of information  with so many people at such a small investment. The cost is priceless compared  to the years of experience you have amassed. You have done the years of hard  work and experimentation which has lead to a set of strategies that are the most  effective and efficient. I’m certain I will get greater results in less time and  absolutely no guess work. All I will have to do is follow your advice ‘to a T’  and work hard.”

Many Bodybuilders  Constantly Switch from One Plan to Another

Momentum is a powerful force for you to use when striving for your bodybuilding goals. Most people never have the chance to experience the tremendous benefits created by momentum. Unfortunately, they give up hope, focus, and discipline. They are continually starting and stopping, starting and stopping, and starting and stopping again. Sure, they’ll eventually regenerate their enthusiasm and optimistically start again—only to stop when they perceive their challenges as too difficult to overcome. They see themselves as doing a lot of work—without seeing results they mistakenly believe should match their overestimated efforts.

At one time or another, we’ve all accomplished our short-term bodybuilding goals such as having a good day of training and eating properly. Those victories give us great feelings, don’t they? No matter how great that single event or day may be, one training session or one day of outstanding habits alone will not create an outstanding physique.

When you can turn that one great day into a great week, that great week into a great month, and string together a series of great months, you begin to create the powerful force known as momentum.

When you can harness the awesome power of momentum to help you in your bodybuilding efforts, the task of constructing an admirable body will suddenly seem incredibly easier. With the power of momentum working for you, the tasks that once seemed difficult to get yourself to do will become amazingly easy.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Give your training routine the time it needs to produce results. Stick with a workout plan long enough to see results. Oftentimes, results don’t come as quickly as we’d like so it’s important to be patient. You must give the program a chance to take hold and begin working. Don’t make the same mistake many people do and bounce from one program to another without giving any one of them a concerted effort first. Generally, a three-month period is long enough to properly evaluate a program’s effectiveness. If you come across a different, but interesting routine before three months have been completed with your current program, do yourself a favor and refrain from using it until later.

Likewise, give your nutritional program enough time to properly determine its effectiveness. The way you eat will have a tremendous effect on your results. Just as you should stick with your training program, you also must follow your nutritional plan for a long enough period of time to see the results it will yield. A couple of months of dedicated adherence should be long enough to assess the eating plan’s effectiveness.

Just How Mentally and Emotionally Tough Are  You?

The difference between a champion and a runner-up competitor is oftentimes the standards they hold themselves to when preparing for a show.

All competitive bodybuilders train with weights but there are many different levels of effort and execution one can produce. Most bodybuilders will do some cardiovascular training when they get ready for a contest but how intensely, effectively, and consistently they do that cardiovascular training will make a huge difference in the quality of their physiques. Every bodybuilder will cut their calories as they strive to get shredded for a show but how much pain they are willing to endure and for how long will vary greatly.

The “wildcard” factor, so to speak, that will determine how good you will be on contest day is how well you align all of the mental and emotional variables in your life. I’m not referring to what you do in the gym, on the recumbent bike, or at the dinner table to get ready for a contest.

The “wildcard” factor I’m referring to is getting your head on straight and thinking clearly throughout the entire contest preparation journey. I call this critical aspect of becoming the very best you can be on contest day “getting your house in order.”

So, You Haven’t Put the Effort Into Your Eating Habits  for Far Too Long–and You Want Results Overnight? How Much Sense Does That  Make?

Many Bodybuilders Have Unrealistic  Expectations for the Eating Plan They’ve Chosen

This mistake  occurs when bodybuilders don’t give the nutritional plan they’ve chosen adequate  time to see results before switching to another one or giving up altogether.

Here’s the challenge:

“I tried one of the popular eating plans a  couple of weeks ago—but it just didn’t work for me. It just wasn’t right for my  body type. I think I’m going to start this new diet I’ve been reading about.”

You must give the diet you have chosen your full focus and attention in  order to get the best results. Just about any diet, when implemented on a  consistent basis, will work for you. But, you must have confidence in your diet  in order for you to give it your full focus and attention.

People let  themselves become confused easily and can’t even get started on a nutritional  plan without 100 percent certainty that the diet plan they are doing will work  for them.

With all the diets available, it will be almost impossible for  you to have 100 percent certainty and confidence in the diet you have chosen.  Just when you think you are on the right path, you will hear or read about a new  “miracle” diet. Just when you are ready to dig in and get going on a structured  eating program, a person you know will tell you about all the amazing results  they are getting with their diet—which seems very different than yours. Heck!  Even if your diet is working, you will sometimes doubt if it is working well or  fast enough.

Instead of focusing on the differences, try to discover how  the diets are similar. You need to ask yourself, “What do these diets have in  common?

If you are not getting the results you want with your diet,  you’ll need to raise your standards. You either need to do a “little more of  this” or a “little less of that.”

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Food selection, food quantities, meal frequency, meal timing,  cardiovascular training intensity, cardiovascular training frequency, weight  training, and weight training frequency are all factors that are 100 percent in  your own control. Focus on finding the right combination of these factors that  work best for you. You must determine what you must do more of and what you must  do less of to reach your body improvement goals.

You Must Have Faith In Your Plan!

Don’t try to gauge the quality of your body’s development or level of  conditioning too often. Have confidence in the plan-of-attack that you’ve  adopted. You must have a sense of certainty that if you eat properly, train  hard, and meet most (if not all) of the small daily goals that you’ve set,  you’ll be your very best at the end.

If you try and gauge how you look  too often, you’ll drive yourself crazy. Your perspective will probably change  about 100 times during the course of your contest preparation season.

You are NOT in the right mindset due to the strict dieting needed and  the stress preparing for your contest to make objective evaluations on a  day-to-day basis.

More importantly, you can’t make rational adjustments  to your plan on a day-to-day basis.No one can.

Colin LaRose

“I would really like to thank you for your  training, nutrition, and competition advice in your ULTIMATE Contest Preparation  seminar. I invested in your seminar not knowing what to expect. I came out of it  feeling more dedicated and more confident than ever for my competition. This is  also my first competition, so every single detail of the competition preparation  is all on paper and good to go! I get to listen to YOU tell me everything I need  to know and be prepared for in the comfort of my own home, bus, car, etc. I feel  mentally and physically stronger than ever before, my goals are much stronger,  and I have never wanted to win anything so badly in my life. I’m 12 weeks out  and each week has plans and goals that are well-structured, Now, it’s simply  time to execute. If anyone out there is thinking about investing in a program  such as this, do so! It is money well spent for advice coming from someone who  has many, many years of experience. Keep on keeping on!”

“Thank goodness you have  taken the time to observe, record, analyze, and share your wealth of information  with so many people at such a small investment.

I’m certain I will get greater results in less time and  absolutely no guess work. All I will have to do is follow your advice ‘to a T’  and work hard.”

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Take the Scheduled  Breaks Off From Weight Training That They Must Have to Grow—and Mistakenly  Believe They Are Helping the Muscle-Building Process.

Some  bodybuilders want to train for months on end without taking an extended weeklong  break from lifting weights. Again, I certainly appreciate their enthusiasm to  train. Training intensity, which is the cornerstone to productivity in the gym,  inevitably drops when you go on marathon runs without a break—even if you don’t  realize it.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

You absolutely  must schedule enough time out of the gym so your body can fully recover. You  will need to take a week off from training every eight to ten weeks. Your  muscles grow when they are recuperating out of the gym. This time out of the gym  and off of training will allow your body to rest and recuperate adequately. When  you return to the gym after these breaks, you’ll be fortified with renewed  physical intensity and mental energy.

You must understand that the  seemingly step backwards you experience when you return after taking a week off  will go away soon enough. I understand how that uncoordinated feeling breaks  your momentum. You don’t perform as well the first week back in the gym. You  aren’t always as strong. You must fight through this discomfort. You’ll be back  up to speed during your second week back—and your body will respond better to  training in the weeks ahead. Trust me. Enjoy your weeklong break. If you’ve  trained hard, effectively and efficiently, you deserve the break.

Dieting Correctly for Your Contest Is A Lot More Than Just  Cutting Your Calories and Not Eating Pizza

It should go  without saying thatur diet is an extremely important part of contest  preparation. The way you eat during your journey will have the greatest  impact–bar none–on the quality of the physique you’ll ultimately present on  stage.

Here are the two definitions I use for the word “diet” as they  refer to your contest preparation nutritional program:

One definition  for the word “diet” is to eliminate (or drastically reduce) the amount of  non-healthy “junk” food meals that you eat. All of your meals (or the great  majority of them) should include only the standard bodybuilding foods such as  lean meats, egg whites, unprocessed starchy carbohydrates; vegetables, protein  powders and meal replacements .

In addition to eliminating certain foods  while you are dieting, eating properly at this time means eating enough of the  right foods at the most efficient times during the day in order to build muscle  mass and lose body fat.

The other definition I use for the word “diet”  would still include the elimination of non-healthy foods but, in this particular  definition, this type of dieting also means that you eat in a calorie-deprived  manner. In other words, you intentionally eat fewer calories than your body will  burn every day.

It’s important to understand that, just because you  refrain from eating delicious, non-healthy foods, you will not necessarily shed  your body fat and get shredded for a contest–no matter how long you cut out  those foods from your nutritional program. You must gradually and subtly  “starve” yourself a little in order to drop your body fat levels.

The  first step of your contest diet is conditioning your metabolism to run faster  and more efficiently. But don’t reduce your calories too much too far out from  your contest. You should eat as much “clean” food as possible when you start  your diet. That way, you have more room to gradually reduce your daily caloric  intake. As long as you are losing weight with food you are eating and have  allowed plenty of time to get yourself ready for your contest, don’t worry about  how much food you are eating.

To speed up your metabolism, you also need  to start cleaning up your diet. By “cleaning up” I mean that you should greatly  reduce (if not totally eliminate) unhealthy, non-bodybuilding, or “junk” meals.  You must start eating all of your meals at well-planned, specifically-scheduled  times throughout the day. That will get your metabolism running smoothly,  efficiently, and like “clockwork.”

Many Bodybuilders Don’t Recognize or  Appreciate the Progress They Are Making

Hitting a plateau, or in other words, having your training progress come to a screeching halt, is probably one of the most feared and frustrating events a person can ever experience. There isn’t anyone on this planet who wants to work extremely hard at something—and not show signs of improvement. This is especially true when it comes when adhering to a demanding bodybuilding lifestyle.

Becoming stagnant with your training progress will surely lead to frustration—a feeling that undercuts the level of fulfillment you hope to enjoy from your efforts. The mounting frustration, if not quickly alleviated, will eventually overwhelm you. Becoming overwhelmed is the primary reason many people stop training altogether.

Unfortunately, too many people quit due to the frustration caused by a merely perceived lack of progress. With this disempowering perception, they can only muster a halfhearted effort—at best—as a way of protecting themselves from experiencing the pain. This situation occurs whether or not the person realizes what is happening.

Stop and think about your situation for a moment. Can your progress ever really stop if you are consistently putting forth your best effort? If you are training with any type of regularity and intensity, and supporting that training with sound nutritional practices, you can rest assured you are not really stagnant—regardless of what you may think. Oftentimes, you will be improving even when you don’t necessarily feel you are.

One of my favorite illustrations of what I am explaining comes from motivational speaker Zig Ziglar. In his story “Primin’ the Pump,” Ziglar talks about a man who goes to an old-fashioned well to pump some drinking water. The man pushes the pump’s lever over and over again, and is seemingly making no progress whatsoever.

The man is indeed making progress, however; it just isn’t visible to him at the time. Deep in the underground pipes, suction is being created and is slowly siphoning the water to the surface. If he gets discouraged and stops pumping, the water will fall again—and he’ll have to start all over.

If he is persistent, the man will eventually see results from his efforts and enjoy a surging flow. At this point, he’ll no longer need to pump as hard because now only a little force produces enough water to equal ten times the effort he gave at the beginning.

Sometimes it feels as though you are putting ten times the effort into your training than you seem to be getting in improvements. But, if you are persistent, you will enjoy the benefits of living the bodybuilding lifestyle that could be ten times greater than the effort you invest—just like the man who was primin’ the pump. You just never know for sure—so be persistent.

Take Action and Do This NOW!

Appreciate what you’ve already accomplished. Look back for a moment. Haven’t you really accomplished a lot more than you may have thought? Aren’t you a lot farther along than you were a year ago today? Wouldn’t it be great to look back in another year and see the continual progress you have made?

What if you wasted an entire year simply because you lost your motivation and strayed away from your plan? Wouldn’t that wasted time feel much worse than if you simply remained committed and worked through the times when your motivation is a bit lower than you would like?

The chances are pretty good that you’ve worked through times like these before. There probably aren’t any good reasons why you won’t successfully pull through these downtimes again.

A real tragedy is when a person who is “winning” at their bodybuilding and training efforts mistakenly believes they are losing. A way to prevent this from happening to you is by finding effective ways to track and monitor your efforts. Taking the time to assess your training and eating habits on a weekly basis can help you maintain the right perspective. More often than not, you’ll realize that you are doing much better than you thought you were before reflecting back on your efforts.

Contest Preparation SECRETS: Which  Protein Source Is Better for Contest Preparation? Beef, Chicken, Tuna, or Egg  Whites?

Make Your Decision as to Which Protein You’ll Eat–And Then  Execute with Confidence!<strong />

Many competitive bodybuilders  debate as to which form of “real” food protein sources are the very best when  preparing for a show. Beef, chicken, tuna, and egg whites seem to be the most  popular protein sources.

So, what EXACTLY is the very best source of  real food protein? Many bodybuilders feel that beef gives their muscles a fuller  appearance. Some people choose chicken because they believe their body processes  it more efficiently than other proteins. Others choose tuna because it has a  lower caloric content per ounce and is more convenient. And, why egg whites?  Could it be because they are more of a “breakfast food” or our bodybuilding  forefathers all ate egg whites? Personally, I don’t believe it matters what type  of real food protein you eat—as long as the grams of protein and/or the calories  it contains fits within your strategically-planned contest preparation diet.

I understand, however, every bodybuilder has his personal preference and  his reasons behind it. Some bodybuilders believe that certain proteins make  their muscle appear fuller. As far as a type of protein makes your muscles  appear fuller, that’s probably a particular bodybuilder’s personal preference or  opinion based on emotion. And, if you’ve been though the mental and emotional  roller coaster ride that comes with contest preparation, you can’t always trust  the bodybuilder’s (who currently going through the process) opinion anyway. His  mind just isn’t totally objective—no matter what he tries to tell you.

Besides, who really cares how full your muscles look until the minute  you step on stage, anyway? That’s the only time fuller muscles really count.  That really shouldn’t be a determining factor if you are getting increasingly  leaner for a contest while preserving as much muscle mass as possible. When you  look at the big picture of contest preparation that spans over 12 to 20 weeks,  executing your structured nutritional plan on a consistent basis is what’s most  important–not the particular type of protein you eat.

You shouldn’t  think that you are doing yourself a huge favor by choosing one over another. At  the same time, you shouldn’t let any uncertainty distract you or creep into your  psyche because you might not have picked the “magic” protein source.

Whatever real food protein source you choose, be certain to bolster real  food protein with VP2 Whey Isolate. The quickly absorbed, high-quality whey VP2  is the perfect compliment to the real protein sources you eat as you prepare for  your contest.

I’ll Coach You to the Next Level and Turn You Into a  “Mass Machine” with This Free 30-Minute mp3 Sound File!

Hello  Men.

It’s Skip La Cour.

If you’ve read my articles or have  listened to my podcasts and talk radio shows, then you know that I constantly  stress this concept . . .

Your MIND is your most powerful training  tool!

“Mass Machine” many years  ago because of my extremely disciplined and effective approach to bodybuilding  and training.

I am going to share with you my SECRET that helped  me develop the tremendous ability to focus and execute—and I am going to get you  excited about taking a 30-Day CHALLENGE that will totally TRANSFORM the  way you attack your training, eating, and thinking habits FOREVER!

I was  able to HARNESS the tremendous power of my brain and win six national  bodybuilding championships because:

1. I was able to identify, study,  and focus on ONLY WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW with my training, eating, and mental  habits—and AVOID the useless, misguided, and confusing information.

2.  Then, I constantly “programmed” my brain on both a conscious and subconscious  level to stay completely FOCUSED on what I needed to do to get the job done!

Your IDENTITY is Crucial to Your  Success!

Now, it’s time for YOU to turn into a Mass Machine  the very same way that I did—and take your bodybuilding and training efforts  THROUGH THE ROOF!

“Why Mass Machine?” you might be asking  yourself right now.

Your identity; how you see yourself; how you “label”  yourself; is the most POWERFUL force you have available to you to reach your  bodybuilding and training goals.

Your identity gets you through the  challenging times—and it forces you step up, ask for more out of yourself, and  kick things to an even HIGHER level when times are going well.

MASS: Because you build dense, rock-hard muscle and  lose body fat that creates QUALITY MASS onto your physique.

and . . .

MACHINE: Because you work toward your  bodybuilding and training goals with “machine-like” precision, focus, and  perfect execution of the key daily disciplines needed to succeed.

Think  about it for a moment:

What would a person with the empowering identity  like a Mass Machine do next when he’s laying in bed in the morning or sitting on  the couch after work when he feels too tired to get his butt up and go to the  gym?

Or, when a friend puts some mouth-watering pizza in front of his  face and his next schedule “cheat day” is still a couple of days away?

What about when he has to decide whether he should use the 50-pound  dumbbells or the 45-pound dumbbells during the next set?

Or, if he’s  going to do his scheduled cardiovascular session like he knows he should—or blow  it off?

When you become a Mass Machine, there’s absolutely  no question that you are going to jump up and get to the gym no matter how tired  you feel; pass on the pizza and wait until you’ve earned it; grab the  50-pounders with courage and confidence; and do your cardiovascular training  anyway!

That’s the powerful effect your identity has on your ACTIONS.

Do you need some of more of that POWER?

It sounds awesome,  doesn’t it?

Are you sick and tired of letting yourself down? Are you  starting to get disgusted with all the stupid excuses you are making when you  don’t do what you already know you should do?

Well, believe it or not,  that power is ALREADY inside of you—and I desperately want you to start drawing  upon it NOW!

The MM120 (Mass Machine 120)

I’ve created this 30-minute mp3 sound file with over 120  POWER STATEMENTS that pound into your brain EXACTLY what you need to focus  on and execute to create the physique that you really want.

I’m “in your  ear” with the most effective and efficient raining, nutrition, and motivational  strategies.

It’s a COMPLETE OVERVIEW of everything that I’ve been  teaching you for years efficiently compacted into this 30-minute personal  coaching session!

Here are just a few examples of what you will hear me  say as I COACH you to the next level:

• “You know that training  intensity is giving 100 percent of your mind, body, and soul to every  repetition, every set, every exercise, during every workout.”

• “You get  yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychologically ready for every  single set you perform in the gym.”

• “You always expect the best from  your efforts—and don’t get discouraged if you don’t see the results you want as  soon as you want. You are patient. You are persistent. You are a MASS MACHINE!”

• “You create a series of daily action steps—Daily Disciplines—that you  can execute every day to get you closer to the body you ultimately want.”

• “You let the power of MOMENTUM work for you—and do NOT keep switching  from one plan to another without giving each one the time and effort they need  to produce results.”

Again, there are over 120 statements  just like these that are crammed into this coaching session!

Here’s the MM120 (Mass Machine 120) Challenge:

Download this file to your IPod (or mp3 player).

Listen to the 30-minute recording every day during your 5-day structured  week for the next 30 days. Ideally, you want to listen to this recording while  you are working out in the gym.

Only listen to these MM120 five  days during the week. There’s no sense in getting burned out doing too much. 30  minutes just five days a week will be plenty of “exercise and practice” to get  these statements into your subconscious thought process and automatically  integrate them into your bodybuilding ad training lifestyle without a lot of  effort.

If you can’t listen to them while you are working out, then  download this mp3 file to your home computer and invest the time listening to  them first thing in the morning.

Even if you get “bored” with this  process, promise yourself to stick with it for 30 days. Many times, we are  getting positive results in our lives and we have no idea where to credit the  cause of those positive results. These MM120 statements will be just one  of those instances.

Remember that when things are going well for you in  your bodybuilding and training lifestyle—and you don’t feel like listening to  the sound file anymore.

Stick with it—and turn yourself into a Mass  Machine!

Train Hard—and Think BIG!
