Q:I just viewed the DVD “I Want to Look Like That Guy” and it was awesome!!! I do have one question….

One of my favorite features in my latest DVD release “Posing to Win” is the bonus “lost” footage we included. When going through tapes we stumbled across footage that I didn’t think we had.

Too many drug free competitors, especially first timers, focus too much on weight loss and abandon the real goal of bodybuilding which is to build muscle – hence the name “BodyBUILDING”! Your goal should be to build and maintain as much muscle as possible while getting as lean as possible. This is different than simply trying to drop weight. If you are a novice competitor you...
