THESE AE MEMBERS KICK ASS!!!

Ok, so maybe I'm a bit impartial, as both of these guys are clients of mine. However, I had to share their success stories with you. The first two pics are of a client of mine name Brent. Mind you, these pictures were taken 34 days apart!!

The picture on the left was taken May 30th, 2001 at a weight of 294 lbs. The picture on the right was taken on July 4th, 2001 at a weight of 264 lbs. 30 LBS IN SLIGHTLY OVER 30 DAYS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO APPRECIABLE LOSS IN LBM!!! (verified with hydrostatic weighing). Brent will be dieting for the next 4 months, and I'll bring you periodic updates to his progress. Kudos to Brent for being able to stick to the diet with absolutely no cheating whatsoever. And of course, kudos to me for writing it!!

My next client is Dr. Rolf-Deiter Hesch, a physician in Germany who's well known in that country for his work on anti-aging medicine. Mind you, Dr. Hesch is 62 years young in this picture!!

Dr. Hesch wants to add another 7-8 lbs of muscle over the next few months. Although his diet and exercise routine are almost impeccable at this point, I still think we can do it. I'll update you with his progress as well.

THE RESULTS ARE IN ON EQUIGEN

Unbelievably enough, I'm still getting emails regarding the legitimacy of EquiGen. Here's an example of one I just received yesterday, July 4th.

Dear Jason

I am wanting more information on Equagine (Not sure of the spelling) - (The Horse Growth Hormone) I can't seem to find any information on it on the internet. My husband has some and is planning to take it in preparation for his up and coming comp in October.(Mr Australia Heavy Weight). I hear you have to take it with Insuline (He is saying that you are supposed to take the same iu as a hourse!!!), could you please send me details on this animal steroid and how to administer it safely.

Apparently in Australia, EquiGen is the GH of choice, as it is the ONLY choice for most Australian bodybuilders. Consequently, a lot of Australian bodybuilders are being duped into buying EquiGen, and will probably continue to do so for quite some time. I feel sorry for those bodybuilders, as I'm sure Anabolic Extreme is not required reading for steroid users Down Under. Regardless, this topic is getting old, and unless I uncover some new shocking revelations regarding the whole EquiGen saga, I won't be discussing it again here in the pages of AE.

Below are the results of testing done on a sample of EquiGen obtained from a well known source in Australia against a authentic reference sample shows the product is equine somatotropin. This is the final nail in the coffin folks, and anyone who chooses to still defend EquiGen after this is either incredibly stupid or after your money. I would vote for the latter.

Standard Reference sample:

The only edit that was made to these results was the removal of the name of the individual who submitted the sample for testing. He wisely has no desire to be involved in a fiasco such as this, but was kind enough to help me out by offering to forward an unopened sample of EquiGen for testing. That's it folks, EquiGen is eGH. No doubt there will be those that will attempt you convince you that either 1) I faked the results or 2) EquiGen works in humans anyway, despite the fact that it's eGH.

I was a steroid dealer at one time. And I sold a lot of GH in my day. After all this, I'm left wondering one thing. "Where in the world were all these morons when I was back in the business? I would have made a killing!!!"

IT'S A LONG ONE, BUT READ IT ANYWAY

Dear Mr. Mueller,

I would like to give you some background on my situation and myself. I turned 42 years old on June 10th. As you know I have been self-employed for over 8 years. I have had to recover from burnout. (Thankfully my wife had continued to run the company and is did a wonderful job at it.)

According to one test that I took on burnout, where a score of 46 means you are probably in the early stages of burnout and should consider seeking professional help and accountability, I scored an 83 out of a possible100. I was in the advanced stages of burnout, and had been battling depression for a couple of years to boot. It's scary what a crappie attitude will do to you if you let it! I had gotten to the point were I was having anxiety attacks. My total inability to function effectively on a daily basis and my feelings of self-worthlessness were at times was overwhelming. Needless to say I felt like my life was coming apart, because in fact it was, because I emotionally was coming apart. But there's good news in that had that not happened I might have never realized some things about life, myself and relationships that have changed me for the better! And I believe have better prepared for future success.

There have been many reasons for my continued recovery and attaining greater levels of health and wholeness, which I have come to except as an on going process. More good news I can keep getting better. In comes the importance of goal setting and attitude I have been supplied many pieces to the puzzle of my life.

I don't know if you have ever dealt with burnout, (I hope you never do) but some of the symptoms are; problems focusing, dealing with and executing tasks that are part of your every day routine, that are normally not an issue and the inability to make decisions to name just a few. The philosophy and insight we share has been key to my crossing the chasm between being a prisoner in this battle of life and being at peace while waging war in that battle. I have been and am still on that "Journey Crossing." I need to be honest and say even after learning that there is a battle to fight I was stuck feeling angry and sorry for myself. I just didn't think it was fair that I had to be in this fight. After all I'm a nice guy and I didn't sign up for this in the first place. But I finally accepted the fact that that's just the way it is. But not after giving the option a try. The option being, taking the path of least resistance, well that road leads to a horrible existence. I like that "The path of least resistance, leads to a horrible existence!" Needless to say nothing got better until I decided to stop playing the victim and go to war.

The difference that positive thinking and goal setting has made in my life and those in my life, has been incredible. I have been encouraged, inspired and taught to make different choices. Which in it's self is monumental, since I previously felt bound to my circumstances and powerless to make any truly healthy choices. Not only do I have a better understanding as to what healthy is for me, I'm learning I can move beyond just knowing and I honestly have become empowered enough do that which I now know to do. I am now experiencing the benefits of "doing." I found out that it is in the "doing" where you start actualizing the blessing of living a fulfilled, victorious and overcoming life.
As you know "doing" must be with purpose, in alignment with who you are, moving you toward your goal. (Does that sound familiar? Of course it does.) I've learned that with no purpose, no dream, no goal, there is no fulfillment.

My experience has been that living life any other way only brings a greater sense of un-fulfillment. The all too common torturous existence, that I call "Death by Miseration.." (Sure you can you that one too if you want.) I don't think there is such word, but I know that it's happening to people everywhere. Trust me when I say this Jason; I know it with I see it, cause I used to be it!

I now have the blessing of having a clearer understanding of who I am along with the courage and power to be that person. That is my ultimate goal to be true to myself and who I am. I'm currently moving towards my goal. At times at remarkable speed and at other times I wonder if I'm moving at all, a sign that I'm still on the journey.

Some of the goals I have that are keys in my achieving my ultimate goal; are writing and assisting other people in making "the crossing" in their lives. Helping others attain what they need and want in life, in the way of total health, fitness and wholeness. I am finally, truly and more fully than ever, acknowledging my true passion for people. Only now I'm doing it in a healthy fashion, because I'm doing it from a position of security rather than insecurity. And I am discovering how to access my passion and turn it into action. This may sound strange to some but I have answered the call of my heart, which is to be myself. The outcome of that is helping those who want help. Fortunately, by doing so I am helping myself as well.

The positive attitude and goal setting, you wrote about and is extremely powerful and relativity easy. (In concept) Even someone who was in my state of mind could do it. It actually was one of the main ingredients to my achieving health and a level of mental clarity and balance in my life beyond that of what I had previously experienced. However doing so can be quite challenging to live consistently on a daily basis, especially when doing so in relationship with other imperfect human beings. Which brings me to another point that was key for me, being in "community" others. A healthy community to be sure.

So I'm thankful for the article you wrote and the honestly you have shown in our correspondences to others and myself. I'm not only exciting for you offer to write on this topic, I am grateful as well. By doing so I will be answering one of the calls on my life. I look forward to reaping and sharing the benefits of doing so.

Jason, thank you for sharing your knowledge, but more importantly sharing who you are. There are few who will do the former with the proper intent. Even fewer who have the humility and courage to do the latter, by that I mean letting people see the reality of who they are. And it is the latter that I believe will have a more lasting effect on the lives of others. Thank you for your example/leadership.

 

Changing from the inside out,
