I am writing this month to tell you about some remarkable results and progress that I have seen as a result of using the Blitz Products. I have now lost over 55 pounds going from 350 lbs to 295 lbs. The quality of my life has been greatly improved, to which the credit is largely due to my utilization of these products in my life. I not only feel better and have significantly more energy, but there are markers my doctors are noticing as well. My blood pressure is no longer an issue and I have avoided having to use blood pressure medication. I had hypertension, I was on the verge of having to go on blood pressure medication, but with the diet and exercise and utilizing of Blitz as part of my weight loss endeavor my blood pressure has dropped. The weight loss apparently also helped my vision. I went into my eye doctor for a new prescription and exam and I required a prescription with less strength in both eyes. I attribute this to lowering of my blood pressure and  relieved strain on my eyes that has been relieved from the weight loss. I was up to a 6.75 in my right eye and a 6.50 in my left eye for the strength of prescription for nearsightedness, this last prescription I was able to see better and only needed a 5.75 in my right eye and a 5.50 in my left eye. My jeans and clothes fit better. I also have significantly less joint pain in my knees, with less weight for my knees to carry, my knee pain has diminished and I am able to work out and do cardio without knee pain. I had knee surgery to remove torn cartilage but with the extra weight they never really felt better and still hurt constantly. My knees like carrying 295 much better than 350, and I am feeling good enough to hopefully play football again this summer in the semi-pro league.

How exactly have I incorporated Blitz effectively. I use a Blitz protein shake every morning with a cup of oatmeal as my breakfast. The fast absorbing protein gives my body the protein needs for my morning workout and provides a nutrient rich breakfast. I also use Blitz Ready-to-drinks during the day at work when I get hungry instead of running to the snack machine for a bag of chips. This staves off my hunger through my next meal, allows me to avoid the unhealthy meal choices and allows me to simply eat less in general. If I can reach for a bottle of Blitz I am making a healthier choice than eating whatever is around because I am hungry. Lastly, I drink another Blitz protein shake before bed. I am able to feed my bodies protein needs through the night to speed muscle recovery and growth  and don’t have late night cravings which had been a problem for me in the past.

Let’s start with some good news for a change. I just shot a commercial for a new video game called Play 2. I spent three days on a plane. Not a real plane, a Hollywood plane. The same one they used for Snakes on a Plane. It was a lot of fun. I played a prisoner being transported by a Marshall. Tuesday I read for a big movie. Don’t know if I got it or not, yet.

Now for the funny stuff. Sunday I was back in the hospital after driving myself to the emergency room. I was there for three days. When I left I had two tubes hanging from my upper arm. That was not going to go over well on set. So I untaped it and stuck it under my arm pit. No one knew.  Cool.

I go to the hospital every day for treatment. This will last for six weeks. Since leaving the hospital at Christmas I weight 160 lbs. Tonight at the gym, I’m weighing in at 194lbs. And I owe it all to PROTEIN BLITZ. Why, because that’s what I’ve been using. You can’t help but train harder, you feel so good, you just want to work out. And the results? They speak for themselves.

I wish I would have taken pictures just so you could see the difference, but my ego wouldn’t allow it. I didn’t leave my house for weeks. I went to the gym late when no one is there. But I did go to the gym and I did eat, but most important I got more than my fill of protein. I don’t care what anyone says. You can live without fat and little carbs, but protein? If you’re not getting enough protein your body can’t function. So if & when you take your protein, why not take the best?

Remember what your dad use to say to you growing up: You get what you pay for. Cheap protein, poor results. If you’re not taking ProteinBlitz you’re throwing your money away. Good luck everyone and don’t give up. If it ain’t hard, it ain’t cool.

Lots of reps

I changed my leg workout around to 15 to 25 reps. I still get the blood rush and the pump but as I get OLDER the joints and cracking of the bones are feeling the heavy workouts.

I still do a total of 5 exercise and now train quads and hamstrings in the same day. I like the over all feel of a full leg workout instead of half done workout. Meaning I want the pump and rush along with the soreness in one complete workout instead of waiting 3 days after my quad workout. My goal with the workout is to get deep cuts. If I lose a little size…oh well. I like my jeans to fit in the waist instead of the old days when you had to go 2 sizes up in the waist to fit your legs.

I have to look at longevity instead of just today. Otherwise all this heavy training will catch up to me.

I took the whole month of November off. I felt with all the injuries I had this year and finding out I have 1 kidney, I needed a break. I was way too stressed out! I started back in the gym December 1 and WOW, I haven’t been this sore in a while. But thank God our bodies remember and I stick to a clean diet all year around always: (3) meals and (3) Blitz shakes a day.

The goal this next year is to listen to my body and cross train. I think the body learns a routine and you get stuck. So it’s time to mix it UP!

I am always looking for new techniques and new exercises to work my body in different ways. If you stay on the same exercise plan then you get used to it and it gets harder to get results. On top of that doing the same ole same ole gets boring and then you don’t really want to exercise.

While I was traning in Oregon with Team Quest I got exposed to all sorts of different ways to train. One was Shabata, which is doing almost any exercise for a set amount of seconds with a very short rest break and then back to the exercise. It is very important in any sport and personal fitness to keep a open mind and keep things fresh.

I am finishing up another good week of training. I am now down to 327, thus far I have lost 23 pounds in just over a month of dieting. The BLITZ protein has provided a great high protein option with great results. I am focusing on low glycemic carbohydrates specifically yams, brown rice and oatmeal. I operate under the diet philosophy that spikes in insulin drive blood sugars into storage as fat. Instead of eliminating carbs from my diet I eat carbs that have a minimal impact on blood sugar levels, thereby reducing the insulin spikes. I eat plenty of protein, namely three BLITZ shakes or RTD drinks per day in conjunction with lean meat proteins as protein has a negligible impact on blood sugar levels. Bodybuilding is a sport that uses biology and scientific methodology to create a desired effect on our bodies. The goal being to remove as much fat from our bodies as possible while retaining the maximum amount of muscle. Our bodies are extremely adaptive. If we send the signals through working out with weights that we have a need for the muscle our bodies will retain that muscle. Through cardio we send the signals to our body to reduce the amount of fat we are carrying. I use BLITZ before and after all workouts because it provided the lean protein to supply my body and saves muscle from being used for my bodies protein needs. I find that the whey isolate protein used in BLITZ is effective in helping me maintain muscle mass while dieting. Isolate is a very refined form of whey protein, that allows for a very quick absorption rate allowing me to quickly supply my body with protein while dieting so that my body will retain the maximum amount of muscle possible.

This week was tough as I was extremely busy with work duties which makes it very difficult to prepare the proper foods for the diet. I did lose another 3 lbs this week to drop down to 334. I can feel my clothes fitting better and I do feel really good about the progress I have made. I have been using a lot more Blitz RTD drinks when I am on the go to meet my protein needs. It gives me a quick burst of protein when I don’t have time to make a shake. The whey isolate in Blitz RTD and Blitz Powder is also perfect for after workout to replenish my muscles and provide them the building blocks they need to re-build and of course GROW!

My current workout schedule is as follows:

Monday: Chest 1 hr cardio

Tuesday: Back 45 min Cardio

Wednesday: OFF

Thursday: Shoulders 1 hr Cardio

Friday: Arms 45 min Cardio

Saturday: OFF WEIGHTS 1 hour of Cardio

Sunday: Legs, calves and abs 30 min of Cardio.

If I am not losing the weight I want I will increase all my cardio to 1 hour, but never over 1 hour as I don’t want to switch into burning muscle. I may also increase my cardio to two sessions of 45 minutes to really burn the fat. Remember to drink your Whey before and after your cardio so your muscles have protein and your body won’t dip into your protein storages (your muscles) that is called catabolism and will shrink your muscles quickly. Do not eat carbs before cardio because your body will use the carbs you just ate for energy instead of dipping into its energy storages (fat cells) which after all is the goal!
