the auger experiment part 20 shit happens

so this weekend marked a spectacular weekend. First of all its a long weekend, thanks to all the men and woman who serve this country proud. Memorial day is a day for remembering those who died, those who were injured, and those who served and serve our country. So please thank someone today! Now moving on with the Auger, he had a big weekend. He was working the gym warriors 2011 2nd anual may powerlifting contest for the epf. Auger was ready to rock! he was wearing his door man fanny pack, and also sporting his big red marker.the auger is no short of a cyborg terminator. He will get you! dont even try to get into this contest for free. The auger will hunt you down and make you take your wallet out. WHy would you not pay when we give half the money to local charitys any ways. It was no different, people tried to get in for free once again. and the auger hunted them down with his cyborg sight.

the competition was going very smoothly! people do not like it when they get flagged on a lift. No one likes it. And especially when its one of your friends. Being a judge means you have to really know what the hell your doing. Judging a powerlifting contest is no different. Especially with the squat. I have seen a lot of contests in my life and this one is no different. we had every call right! most of the calls are easy. The goal of the judge is to create a fair contest for all competitors. one of my friends that i flagged Angelo got pissed off. But the truth of the matter is that it was a flag and the other judge also saw the same thing. so i dont have to second guess any one this is why we have 3 judges at a competition. This is also why you can not have 1 judge! It doesnt matter because you either do it right and get it or you don't.



In the end people get pissed but they get over it. unless you have something against someone , if thats the case you should not be a judge. the worst experience of my life is something i had to deal with in bodybuilding from 2003-2006 where a head judge had something against me. Not only that but he also had 3 other judges placing me in last place or 2nd to last place purpously. I didnt find this out until i actually looked at the score cards. Then i found out he was training people in my class. THen i also saw that the other judges were placing me 1-8 places .. while these 3 were placing me 12-15 th or even worse. After all the hard work i had put in. i was very pissed off not to mention all the money i was handing this guy for my teams that were competing. i forced a full boycot on him and complained showing the scores as evidence and video that i had of contests. This is when i found peoples true colors and found some good and some bad. WE move on in life, if you dont then you cant grow. i went into powerlifting for one reason its much more clear cut sport. you either do it or you dont do it. not many aspects can affect the outcome. a lot of people think im cocky, arrogant, its not the case. you want to be strong, then be strong there is nothing wrong with showing off a bit. i enjoy it. hell you cant compete more than 5 times in a year so what else you gonna do. sit there and pretend its church, no way!

So the contest i trained a bunch of people who competed infact i had people that trained going against each other, i like that, make the best person win. I train them all the same, its not a big deal if one losses its insentive to train harder. if you want to be the best you really do need someone to push you to get there. otherwise your going to be happy with your progress.

my first trainee Mike Salsgiver i am pushing to total 1600 raw with just a belt. his total for this meet was 1425 with just a belt. i let him use my belt that was passed on to me from my brother. He is in the 220 class. I also have a trainee who i have compete derek b. derek came in being trained by tps in everett mass. the problem with the training that they used on him. is it was horrible, he had the worst form i had ever seen, he was trained totally wrong horrible training. i am pissed that they even call them selves trainers. they take videos of people i have trained and trained with my whole life like lew peppe. and say we have the strongest gym around . bull shit .. how about garett braumen i trained him too, or how about nick fagone ahh ..yes also a gym warrior. yah that pisses me off. So i have trained derek and its been hard because we had to break all the horrible bad habits they taught him ( not even going to parallel on squat, using a high box, not benching correctly, and worst of all never doing a free squat. ohh yah and how about teaching him to hitch to deadlift) the worst part is he spent over 8,000 dollars on this training. which pisses me off even more. I dont like talking shit about any one but the truth is the truth if i piss you off its because your lying to your self. face the facts! well derek is chasing mike and its helping his lifts go up faster than normal, lets look at his contest lifts. in 2 months time
bench increased 25 pounds contest
squat increased 25 pounds contest
deadlift increased 55 pounds contest

thats 105 pound increase!! he will have to do even better the next time around but i think he can especially on the squat and bench! every one knows i am the best deadlift trainer in the northeast look at my records, and all the people i trained on deadlift. all you have to do is look at the girls i train. i have trained kim clark for 2 months now she went from never doing a deadlift to pulling 285 pounds raw no belt no wraps yup in the 148 class. then corrine dipietro matching that 285, or how about corrine squating 250 pounds. these are in contest. and we have them on video. Its knowing the system and learning how to use it. As we discussed before this is why the Auger experiment is even happening.





mike will be my next experiment for competition i see him as a crossover bodybuilder/powerlifter who can do both , and win at both . my goal for mike is to make him elite, its my goal for all my trainees. mike is much closer to this level now then the others so its possible much sooner but it will all depend on their drive. any one of the people i train or who want to train with me can become elite. But how bad do you want it !! do you want to be in the magazines, do you want people hearing about you when you walk into a contest? do you want to be sponsored, endoresed? do you have what it takes. ? all it takes is coming in for some training. i tell people i have 2 rules 1. don't ask me questions. 2 listen to every thing i say. every thing don't take that lightly.



so the auger got crazy he went nuts and we captured it on video .. your going to have to check it out on youtube soon. if you want to start training hit me back

now for more auger shit happens , auger hurt his groin a little doing his squats and deads, most likely reagrivating an old injury. but its ok stretching is a great way to fix groin injuries, stretch and direct preassure. i would not suggest to much icing of the area. that can damage the testicles. and we dont want to hurt those guys! so next week we will weigh him in again!! big week this week ... happy memorial day.

the auger experiment part 19 holes

This experiment has become such a journey in only 3 weeks. This week is no different. this week brings us to the powerlifting contest for the epf. may 28 th. so far 8 people from gym warriors have signed up for the contest. i believe we may have 4 more people representing the gym maybe more we will soon find out. the contest costs 10.00 at the door and the auger is the door man. Yes the auger, he will be live in person at the contest. All gym warriors clothing will be sold at half price at the meet, we will also have some macho man stuff, and who knows what else. i am looking forward to having the contest and getting the gym cleaned up, getting all these left over trophy's out of here. so i can clean my office completely. i hate not having a clean office. The auger who has been going out of his mind lately, has noticed so much change in his body its very hard to fathom. how is this guy getting so many results this quickly. i have to say its his determination, my training, and my diet. He has to put in the work but the battle plan is there. its like if bill bellicheck is your coach you know that your going to have a good game plan no matter how well or badly you play. how well you play is what results you get. its no different in training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and sports. to become the best athlete, you need to be physically and mentally ready for the challenge. You also must eat and keep your body active. so when i train people for competition i have them take 3 days off prior to competing. i like to have them come in on Monday and Tuesday and do some brushing up on form , commands, and warm ups. this way they get a muscle memory for the lifts in the contest. it usually doesn't feel like much but what it does do. is builds confidence that i didn't see in the last contest. When you get a new recruit so to speak its very difficult to just throw them into a contest. but sometimes its what we do, to see if they can handle it. Its also good experience, no matter how prepared you are for your first contest, 900 times out of 901 your going to screw up. Usually its on a command. Unless you have a trainer who knows how to do command training, you are not going to be used to someone telling you when and when not to lift a weight. Any one can bounce a weight of their chest. but can you lift the weight off your chest when someone tells you to. That is the true question! This is why competing is a challenge and why it is also fun. I do train people who are in the same weight class, which does not bother me because the best person will win! but we are all on 1 team, our personal goals are to beat our last lift. No matter what place we finish as long as we are taking a step forward then we are winning.



I would also like to explain that i train people to the 60-80 format which means we almost never max out on any lifts. our goal is to max out on the day of the contest and peak out. This way we are never training our body to overload. and instead we do it on the most important day. the day of the meet. this is also the same type of training for bodybuilding. when you bodybuild no one cares if you were the best the day before or if you did a 900 pound deadlift at home. it doesn't count unless its on that day. You have to come dialed in, just like the horse from kentucky derby , the bodybuilding term dialed in means you came in at your best. This is why when i tell people don't max out on your lifts learn how to train! but your brain to the train!



I am looking for more people to train to prepare for contest both bodybuilding and powerlifting. If you are interested please contact me. I do have a lot of people but as the summer comes i can take on more people and work longer hours at night. I want you to break records i want you to compete! i want you to destroy the competition. join us in doing so! compete , train , grow and win . with gym warriors and pauly des!

as always god bless,

go Bruins!!!! pauly des

the auger experiment part 18 weight

today marks almost 3 weeks that we have been doing the auger experiment. The auger was in the gym early today. it was 11 am when i walked in. Auger was already finished working out. he was pissed off. he walked over to me and said he feels so small, his clothes are baggy on him, he just doesn't feel big. i started laughing at him. I said "are you serious" you look huge. He looked at me and said can you weigh me . I told him sure lets get on this scale. You are not going to believe this. guess how much the auger weighed? 210? 200? 198? absolutely not ....... 214 pounds !!! on the money. yes that means that the auger gained 7 pounds in 1 week. so you think he would be fatter? absolutely not .. take a look at the pics.. not only did he gain 7 pounds from last week but he also got leaner, his legs got bigger, his abs look way better, you can finally see them!!! Auger was so happy!!! all we did was change to diet number 2!! which basically increased calories by 300-400 . The auger will stick with this diet for another week before we up the calories again! you see you have to really tinker with your diet until you find what works. different foods effect people differently. each meal you take in should be looked at from a nutrition stand point not by taste. if the food feeds your body and makes you strong then you should be eating it. Its finding the discipline to doing that. The other thing that we need to pay attention to is being patient and trusting in your trainer. personally i know what the hell I'm doing, i hate when people ask me a million and one questions. because it shows me they are not trusting me. Trust me i know what i am doing. i have been doing this for a long time. i can see a person walking on the street and know what the hell they are doing wrong. i look at people differently then most. every one to me is a mathematical problem. i take the numbers and run them and find what numbers they need. obviously your not going to understand that. That is why i say don't ask me a million questions just trust in the system and follow it. I will see a problem with my own eyes, and on the scale. Its all about keeping your weight up, and looking different in the mirror. this is why most diets do not work. diets must change over time.



look at his legs!!! he is not only getting better separation!! but he is bigger. so how do you explain that! the legs look bigger and the abs are leaner and he weighs 214 pounds 7 pounds heavier than last week. which is supposed to be impossible while training and dieting naturally. !! hmm i would say ahh lets see what happens next week !

well i think thats enough proof for this week !
if you want a diet , if you want training please contact me add me on facebook till then
im pauly des! have a good day .. go bruins


also we are holding a powerlifting contest next saturday !! may 28th epf . 3 lift contest plus curl . you can compete in any thing you want . thanks so much !

the auger experiment part 16 and 17 Big Toney

back and legs.

Back part 16!

IT was back day for the Auger, and Big Toney just happened to step in. Big Toney ( aka al) is a heavy hitter when it comes to upper body lifts. He will tell you him self , he wishes he worked legs when he was younger. Big Toney is a x marine who has the unsashable appetite for weights, and heavy metal. When Big Al walked in the Auger went nuts. he started head banging and air guitaring. i was a little scared. Then i caught the two conversing about heavy metal , and training. The auger got very scared when he heard that Big Toney had just purchased the rest of the ostrims. Auger needs his protein too!!! he was yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs. what else is new ?

The auger did a lot of good form exercises, squeezing and pulling. but i did hear some complaining about his supplement regiment that he really wasn't feeling much from the vitamins ect. I had to reassure him before he tried to rip my arm off. He also said people had been asking him if he still worked out. funny thing is i thought he looked bigger. HIs forearms have more separation, and he's more vascular. I know what to look for, but i have to help him feel better about the diet and training so i took some pics to show him.



Auger saw the pics and could see for himself the change. in 3 weeks.

now lets take a peak at leg day.

Legs

Today marked the day i was going to personal train Mr. Auger at 12 noon time at Gym Warriors peabody. I had to train Joyce at 11, and derek at 1. The auger came in early to stretch a little and get amped up before his work out. We talked about how crapy his deadlift form was the week before , and how he needed some help on his squats. it was evident that if the auger continued to use the same form he would be injured on in a wheel chair. His deadlift looked like a stiff leg deadlift. Then his squat was not hitting parallel. So what was it going to take to help the auger. My personal training. I got the Auger to deadlift first we went up to 445. with propper form!!!! take a look




Squats were just as fun! We were going over each lift and showing how to drive the bar through the body. Auger caught on very well. He also loved the type o negative music that was playing. black no 1 is a good song. its pretty funny. my favorite line is" you cant go out cuz your roots are showing! die them black" its about a hair dye. Any ways we had to change a few things around in the augers supplement regimen. making it a tad bit stronger. Big Toney came in right as the Auger was finished. He was in rare form. REady for an isopure and a nitric force. yummy!! ostrims are almost r.i.p. When the Big toney and Auger collide the earth shakes!! We also had a couple people from Power fit come join gym warriors today. They actually took off their power fit shirts and wore them inside out. I have nothing against that gym, i think its a ok gym and i rather see the mom and pops then the stupid big fitness shit holes that keep popping up and people keep wasting their time in. But i want to get one thing strait, we built gym warriors for a purpous and that is to get results. People come here to train with out people staring at them , for results, to get in shape to be themselves. Its the hard core mentality that you can be your self and train really train. if you think training is about being quiet, then you never pushed your self to the limit, scream rip through the weights get loud, lift and train. Get results what ever the results you want! that is why i go to work every day thats why Gym Warriors is here! and thats why you should come to Gym Warriors


pauly des signing off!!

if your not giving your the taker

the auger experiment part 14 and 15 spoons

The Gym has been pretty busy lately. Auger had a lot of motivated lifters as the college kids return. The gym becomes much busier and busier. I took a look at the auger today and he is getting leaner every day. Its very obvious. He has veins every where, his waist is smaller. Best of all his lifts are all going up. He lost 1.5 pounds so far. Today i got to go for a nice walk and enjoy the weather. The auger walked in and he was ready to train. Auger constantly is going over his notes, checking his papers as if he's curt schilling. The auger had to hit arms today.. and arms is what he hit!

Tomorrow being saturday marks the 2 weeks that the auger will have been training so lets recap whats happened. THe Bruins have defeated the phili flyers in 4 strait games!!! very happy i was at game 4 thanks Gabriella for taking me to the game!



on the other hand our beloved boston celtics have been defeated by the Miami Heat.

I have personally seen my lifts going up, Joyce and I went to the npc cutler classic, and saw a lot of great physiques. We also lost our adsense deal for blogging. Which is a pain in the ass. Blogger has been up and down each week, but we will prevail. WE also filmed a short comedy skit for madd t.v. which the director said we nailed it. So thats a good thing . i also got asked to be the lead singer to a local rock band, which i will gladly start practicing with on my spare time. i need some hobbies. Ok enough of the recap. THink terminator think Auger!

Yesterday thursday may 12th The Auger was here with full intent to make shoulders like boulders. he was hungry literally, i mean he brought his food with him to the gym. It was during his work out when things started getting crazy! First of all Tony tough talk spencer walked in the door. hands blazing, screaming at the top of his lungs auger time. He got so psyched up he was screaming during his sets .



Thats when tony screamed so hard he actually had to leave the gym , for a couple mins and get some fresh air. he made him self sick! not even kidding! i was pretty surprised because i have never seen that happen before till now. i am used to jamie the son floyd screaming at the top of his lungs and then screaming some more. (paul weller would be laughing right now). So i was training Gabriella at that time we had to chalk her up for her deadlifts. I think we were doing 220 at the time. chalking your hands is a good thing but it can lead to tearing your much earned calis. tearing of the calus can hurt a lot and ruin your training this is why i suggest that you moisturize after every work out. especially your hands. It will help you in the long run.



When the Auger finished working out he went on a rant looking for food. He was starving almost eating one of the new college kids. he grabbed a bunch of food and started ripping through it and then we hear Shit i forgot my spoon! Spoon? you need a spoon to eat applesauce? Auger didnt know you could eat applesauce with out a spoon. So me and lovell had to teach him.



this is what we taught him! The Auger caught on quick and commenced eating. Then came The night training of Big Mike and Mr. Victor. Victor who is one of my other experiments has come from the Ukrain. He was trained by 2 of the top powerlifters in the Ukrain. He now trains with me! So far he has put 20 pounds of muscle on, and increased all his lifts by a lot. Using the DeSimone basic training plan. All lifters can grow with very simple training techniques all made in the program. Last night he hit a pr deadlift of 265.

Big mike hit a 565 last night in hopes to be hitting over 600 at the contest may 28th. not bad for a raw 220 competitor.

Now lets move on to today!!!!! Today Auger was going to blast his arms. We have seen a lot of the Augers arms lately. Lets face it the arms are a good way to judge someone because you can see them a lot easier than any other body part.



now its time to weigh the auger and get an exact weight for this dude!!!!

auger weight 207 pounds with zero food in him! in the am!!! we will keep track of his weight exact time every week with no food .. this way we can see what's going on !!!

the auger experiment part 13 deads

Today was a deadlift day for the auger .. and deadlifts are what he did. 475 pounds for 2 reps. and let me tell you the Auger was screaming a lot of crazy things while doing these deads. Then came squating, that was something to watch!!! finally getting to parallel. and below. He his a 275 on the squat for 5 reps. He also said that this was one of his best leg work outs of all time! The augers intensity is at an all time high. i am going to suggest though that The auger gets some personal training sessions on leg day for form . because his deadlift is not correct form. he uses way too much back and needs some training to help with that 1 on 1. So in a 10 day span the Auger has already rocked the deadlift. thats pretty impressive i am giving my self a tap on the back. !!



now on to some highlights of the day. kim today deadlifted 255 pounds for 2 reps and also squated 160 for 4 reps. EpF powerlifting contest will be held at gym warriors on may 28th. its 10 dollars for tickets to watch. the contest should be very impressive. Every one has been training very hard for this meet.

now here is the pic you all voted for . the auger leg !!!


and big mike attempted a 655 rack pull the other day but couldnt get it off the rack .. he did get a 635 for 2. which is pretty good, he will be going for a 600 pound raw deadlift on the 28th of may . come see the big lifts at warriors 119 foster st. peabody ma. 01960

the auger experiment part 12 cutler classic 11

the 2011 npc jay cutler classic was here this sunday. It brought back a lot of memories good, bad, and funny. The funniest thing of all, is seeing the same exact people over and over again. This year i would call it redemption. A lot of guys who had placed not so well in prior years made a big leap this year nearly all of them winning a class or 2. I will start of with Glen Rodriguez who i have known for about 10 years now. He used to train at my gym for several years. i like glen he's a good guy and he trains very hard. i have to give him credit he finally did not over diet and kept size on. That size helped him in the npc. He took the masters class overall, novice 1st in class 2nd overall and finished 2nd in the open. Good job Glen!






Then came jimmy a kid who i met from GNC. I had seen his pics from the previous year. he cam in very flat, and was holding water. but not this year he won the overall in the novice and finished first place in his open class. I was impressed with his leg development, and he was very humble and respectful when i talked to him.




Thirdly was big heavy weight Matt. I have known matt for about 15 years he trained with greg rando , and jose raymond for years. I used to talk to those guys a lot back at nautilas plus. Matt who i have competed against has done so many shows. I dont think i had ever seen him win a class though he usually would finish top 5 or not place from my memory. This year his legs were fantastic and his conditioning was dead on. He won the heavy weight class.





It was good to see Jay Cutler, Bev Francis, Steve Weinburger, Arthur, and every one else. Best of all i got to show Joyce that she could now win in the NPC! We walked around boston got some cardio in after the show. the funny thing is we parked for 12 bucks in a parking lot that closed at 8. We had to leave the show at 7 30 find a new parking spot. We found the parking spot and hurried back. it was then that Jay started posing, and being friends with the cut above lol jay had a little joke in store for me. Jay cutler posed on the stage and then started to do his usual off the stage posing when he came over to where i was sitting and went to pull me up to pose next to him in a pose down. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY i was going to stand up next to jay cutler mr. olympia and pose. but it was awesome and i got some amazing pics of the cut above. lol we laughed after the show about it. My friend joyce who is a pro figure competitor was shocked and in awe of the whole situation. I think she may have peed her pants. lol ..no she really didn't but you never know. lol . the show had 152 competitors and all in all it was a good show!

now back to the Auger. today was back day for the auger and his strength is now starting to improve the auger did bent over rows with 315 inverted like Dorian Yates . i watched him to make sure he didn't do sloppy form. the auger then started to talk to me about how excited and happy he was .. in just 8 days his strength had increased.. thats pretty good i must say. Tomorrow the auger has the day off so we will be talking about the bruins game and going over that .. and possibly a little more on the cutler classic. because there is a lot i left out . i am training so many people right now it was hard to get this blog done today! but don't you fret tomorrow i will have another fresh blog done. with more info and more pics!

any questions ask away and share the blog with your friends . also were looking for sponsors .. so please let us know !

the auger experiment part 11 training partners

Training partners can be a good or a bad thing. We briefly discussed how having a training partner can be a good thing. But it can also be a bad thing in some cases. It's almost like being on a team. Having guys who got your back so that you can maximize your lifts. The most important thing when choosing a training partner is showing up on time. Nothing is worse then a training partner who does not show up, or when one guy is waiting all day for his partner to show up! It is called having respect for one another. Sometimes the occasional i cant make it or i am running late happens. But if its happening daily, then its time to get a new partner. When you get a good trio of guys, its almost like being on a team. Having 3 is probably the smartest way to train because 3 is the perfect number for rest. this way each person will perfectly be able to lift and have the perfect amount of rest time. Having more then 3 guys can be a pain in the ass. My suggestion is start off with 2, and then move on to 3. Make sure that you guys are close enough in strength to that your not constantly taking plates off, doing so wastes time and energy. Another important aspect but highly over looked is, wasting time. One training partner needs to organize the system while the other, or others chime in on what they would like to do. If your all on the same page then your training will come together. You can motivate and grow quicker when on a team!



The auger came into the gym today for day 5 of the program. I was training Joyce, and then Kim, and then marcy by the time he left i had trained 3 people. He was psyched about how well his work out had gone. i decided we should take some pictures. He thought it would be a good idea. I decided why the hell not. Auger did have a few questions for me during his training, he would ask me if he should used controlled and slower movements. I told him yes, just like in the article i wrote for Natural Muscle magazine you need to stretch and squeeze the muscle for full contraction. This full contraction is what gets you pumped. Auger decided he would do this for every exercise. I would glance over at him working out and noticed that he was doing every thing with controlled form. This is how you get shape, and size to the muscles. instead of trying to lift all the weights in the gym. Work on your form! It is just as important as the weight. Take a look at the before and afters !!!

Before picture taken 5 days ago



After pic taken today


Ok so these results are wacky. i kind of don't even believe it. When i decided to take a pic of auger today i was kind of thinking to my self usually it takes 3 weeks to start to see a difference. But judge for your self, i took the pics so that you could see the chest and face so it would be easier to judge. I am kind of shocked in how quick he is responding to the change. Most likely the diet, and training are shocking his muscles.

After 5 days this is what i noticed. A loss of body fat, i also saw the Auger come in with so much more intensity. The obvious change in muscle mass. Especially in his upper chest and biceps. i cant wait to see what week 2 will bring us.

todays blog is dedicated to danny madden who came back to gym warriors and already put some size back on! reunited and it feels so good, for ryan homem.! ohh yah and mr. dyer i am not sure if you will even read this though!

the auger experiment part 10 Girl power

Today's Blog involves true Girl Power! I have heard time, and time again woman talking about how they don't want to get bulky from lifting weights, and how they saw this girl get so bulky from lifting. Myth! First of all woman lift weights to burn fat. Not to get big. You do not have the testosterone, or bone structure to put bulky muscle on. Unless your a man lifting weights pretending to be a female. Lifting will not make you big and bulky. If your getting bulky from weight training your obviously not doing it correctly. A lot of woman i have met were scared to lift weights because of all these rumors about weight training. I guess the first girl i really trained with the Girl power method was Nicole Gagne. She got a nice flat stomach, a round firm bum, and tight legs. Her body weight dropped by 10 pounds, all we did was weight training, heavy weight training. Then came Shawna SId, my x gf. Her transformation was very dramatic. She lost about 20 pounds, and tightened up every thing going down to a body weight of 130 pounds. But Shawna also became one of the best female powerlifters in Massachusetts with in a 6 month period. She ended up holding all the e.p.f powerlifting records, and it was a goal of hers to then try figure competition. My reputation for getting girls in shape goes much farther back to about 1996. But i never really broadcasted any thing that i had accomplished till recently. With Shawna i developed a system, a mathematical formula for strength and fat loss. This is the formula that i have been using on all my new recruits. The key factor is woman are very strong, they just don't know it. All you need to do is figure out how to tap into your natural strength and train so that it helps you burn fat, and become stronger. This is what i developed and this is what i am about to show you. Most woman can leg press massive amounts of weight, they just need to know how to increment the weights up. some of the guys reading this may be shocked, and may actually feel like; well a pussy.



yah that's kim above doing about 600 pounds on the leg press full reps , 4-6 reps. this was pretty heavy for her yes, but its more to prove the point. That woman can lift heavy ass weight be strong and get leaner. How many guys in the gym struggle with this type of weight.

So i decided to have Jenilee take a few stabs at the leg press. after she lost about 15 pounds from training with me we hit the leg press at about 420 pounds for 8-10 reps; full reps! i was very impressed with her performance. take a look below!



So we can move on to the deadlift, I see so many guys in the gym not doing them. Why would you not do deadlifts? probably because they are hard, too difficult for you? i think not, check this out. how about not 1, but 2 girls doing a 245 pound deadlift



By now you get the point that girls can be strong and burn body fat. The best part is that it really does not take long to get them strong using my theorem. I have only been training most of these girls for about 2 months. This is how i know that any one can be strong, you just need to know how to do it.



If you want to train with me, compete, get in shape, and loose bodyfat all you need to do is contact gym warriors. please follow the blog and you will learn and see the results from the next powerlifting contest may 28th. This is only the beginning.

Now back to the auger, Auger came in today full speed. I was training Derek, when auger screamed to me that he had just been in a tattoo shop when he saw my niece Rachel. He said he was talking to the artist about getting a tat on his elbow, when Rachel was sitting behind him. She hear him mentioned the blog, and then Rachel new she had seen him from the movie Arny. He left the tattoo parlor ready to train.


So today the Auger trained shoulders. He said he has to admit he is now learning how to train for the first time in his life. He enjoyed his shoulder workout greatly today. while he was training, He then grabbed an abb aqua force and 2 mass isopures. When the Auger was working out he was blasting the music. he kept on screaming NIce, not sure why. I would think that's a good sign. I have noticed his motivation has improved, Tomorrow will be officially the first week and first weigh in for the auger experiment. tune in tomorrow for a day of Auger proportions.


as always train to win!

the auger experiment part 9 gorillas in the gym

The return of Big louie Pep. My old training partner came into the gym on a surprise visit today. we had trained are whole lives together. i think from the age of 17-25 we trained almost every single day together. Big lou and I are from the same town in italy we are descendents of the etruscans. Original Italians who were known as barbarians. Fondi is tiny. the funny thing is our parents settled in the same town in massachusetts. people call that fate, some call it conincedence, when you get older you learn there is no such thing as conencidence. to become a great lifter you need someone to constnatly push you, to motivate you to get stronger and bigger. This is why the two of us constantly grew, and constantly got strong. we would outlift everyone in any gym we would walk into. the funny thing is we were only 20-21 years old when we were doing this. We were known for picking up peoples cars and putting them down. Shit you see in comic books. But in real life. Big lou came in to do deadlifts and front squats. i can remember when lou did his first deadlift back in 1999, thats when you had to lock your stuff up. ok usa it was time to jean claud van damn this next set. Big lou was ready he was going to do a 700 pound deadlift for a double and he was going to do it today at Gym warriors. With Pauly des snapping the pics. i wish we had people following us around with video cameras. Big lou did it, take a look



notice no wraps and full extension of the back. This is a great lift. this is what lifting is all about, its about training, picking up stuff that no one else can and doing it with enthusiasm and then you can joke around after the lift is done. We always joke around in the gym its what keeps you sane. how can you pick up 6-7.800 pounds and not be a little crazy. you gotta have fun not think about the weights being heavy, and just have fun. every day is a new challenge, even if your only lifting 30 pounds its all about getting to 35 , 40,45, ect you want to progress. if you dont want to progress in your lifting then you should really take up another sport. doing the same lifts every day gets boring, its redundant, and it really doesn't make lifting fun. Goals you need to set obtainable goals. lou won his pro card in strongman he didnt say im going to compete 1 time and win, no thats not what he did it all started with weights, 1 plate at a time, 1 rep at a time. then he competed. won a little show qualified for nationals. and then Gym warriors sponsored him for his pro card in which he won. But you need to start off small one small goal at a time. Big lou and I had a great time in the gym. you gotta love chalk on the ears!



So today was the First leg work out for the Auger. He walked into the gym while i was training someone, today i trained 3 girls before 1 pm. the auger had walked in about 1:20 while i was training jauclin. He walked over to me and was in need of a energy drink. this is not normal behavior for the auger but today he was a bit tired. So i gave him one of the the new Gat energy packs that i had mike try last week. Auger didnt really get any thing from it. He needed more, so he asked me for a NItric Force. The nitric force from abb has been a hot seller. Auger slammed the whole entire thing, i am surprised he didnt have a heart attack yet. But what can you do. so if you go back to the auger experiment day 3 i think we found that the augers best deadlift of all time was 460 for 5. We would see what he would get today on day 1.



the auger ended up hitting on the deadlift
185x10
350x10
405x5
435x4
435x4
450x2

so for the auger hit a 435 deadlift. This is 1 rep and 25 pounds off of his all time best not only that but he did 2 sets of it. i watched him do the 450 his form was not the greatest. he did almost a stiff leg deadlift on the first rep , his second rep was much better. he could have gotten 1 more but thats enough for week 1. i can see him finishing off with 500 for 5.



as for squats he needs to work on his depth and form . so i really wanted to see what kind of weights he would use and actually watch him train. Since we talked so much about squat in yesterdays blog i decided to hold back a little today. and wait for next week. you never know who the hell is going to walk into the gym or what the hell is going to happen.

The auger keeps telling me he looks more vascular every day he keeps saying this to me. have i noticed it yet... i really think he is! scary.

Todays blog is dedicated to Mike L you know who you are! my self.

p.s. i have a question for the guys do you guys like fish sticks?

the auger experiment part 8 retrospect and squat

Todays auger experiment takes us looking to tomorrow. First off bin laden has been killed and its just the same its a new day and we are looking towards tomorrow. Now cutting off the head of a snake sometimes that snake grows a new head or 2 heads. But at least mission one has been accomplished. Tomorrow will be the Augers first real leg work out in the experiment. It will be the first true test of grit for the auger. He exclaimed to me that he may bring a bucket just in case he pukes. I told him it was a good idea, but it is not necessary to puke to have a good leg work out. More or less its a good leg work out when you feel as if you are going to hurl, or pass out. This means your intensity and weights were very effective. people ask why do they get so sick from the squat. the number 1 reason is central nervous system stimuli. the squat is literally a dangerous but i would say most important exercise. The squat takes you into the realms of fight or flight. i want you to think about this. your literally putting weights on your back directly over the spine. This puts direct pressure on the spine. And in turn it creates a response of absolute exhaustion. What you also don't realize is when you perform the squat your using the whole trunk, which is all the stabilizer muscles in the abdominals. this also is why some people get the roid gut. From holding your breath while doing squats. The squat is definitely the most misunderstood lift of all the lifts. people don't do them because they are hard! not only is the free squat the hardest exercise, but its also the most misused exercise . when i say misused i mean in form. first of all the parallel squat is a good way to train your squat to stay healthy. in powerlifting we learn to hit below parallel. in bodybuilding, most bodybuilders will go to or below parallel. what i see in gyms i wouldn't even call a half squat. it all starts in high school, football coaches teaching kids improper form, and passing that knowledge on and on and on . its like going down a ladder . inconsistent information causes for improper form. So i started doing some research on the web just to give you an idea of how many idiots out there are teaching people the wrong way to squat! ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yha2XAc2qu8&NR=1) this video here explains to me why so many morons have no clue how to squat. Rule number 1 !!! you never ever ever look down!!!!!!!!! you never move the neck or head during a squat. Just ask Chris Cormier about that. looking down while squatting is probably the worst advice you can give someone. notice the kid in the video performing the squat correctly when he looks strait. the best way to squat is to keep the head fixed in a strait position.



Have you ever seen Ed Coan looking strait down during a squat! hell no. so in my research i started looking for more idiots talking about squats. moron video number 2 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRnGI3c5Jjs ) this video calls itself perfect squat. Though some of this video has merit, i find 3 major problems with the video. 1 the subject is wearing running sneakers, which push you on your toes, and put pressure on the knee. If he had known any thing about squatting he would know you need flat sole shoes. next the squats this kid is performing are not parallel because you do not judge by the knee and hamstring, you judge by the hip. this is the most important and most frustrating part of competitive powerlifting. is a judge that does not know the rules, and people thinking they are squatting below parallel when they are not even at parallel. Videos such as these are why people can not trust information on the web, and free information. Hence why personal trainers, and sports experts like me are needed. This is also why kids waste their time in the gym and with supplements that don't work. Very few supplements are good, and vitamins are only good if you know how to properly use them. Training, and Diet are the most important things if you want to get in shape. With out them your really just wasting your time. This is the whole reason why i have started writing, and teaching people, its the reason why i train people. ANd i can admit that when i was younger i didn't train with good form at times, and it was in those times that i really didn't gain any thing. in retrospect i now know why that happened. Form, training, diet they all go together like a puzzle. This is why the Auger came to me for his diet, work out, and supplement plan.

auger part 7 day 2 loud music

Today is day 2 of the official auger experiment. The auger came in today for his 2nd work out. Back day! the auger came into the gym with a serious look on his face so serious i new their was some kind of change in him! I couldn't talk to the auger right away because i had a special visitor in today. Big tim came in today for a diet and training consult. Me and Tim were chatting when the auger walked in. The Auger literally marched into the gym and busted strait into his back work out. Tim looked at me when he saw the auger and just said is that him, i gave him a nod and said yes. After about an hour another man walked into the gym. The Arch nemesis of the auger . mr. Senior bicep. senor bicep was flying across the gym with his fists like super man trying to give me a fist bump. after fist bumping senor bicep .



i noticed the auger becoming frustrated with his appearance in the gym. it was about 5 months ago when the auger and mr. senior bicep had their first confrontation. you see mr. senor bicep didnt seem to like the auger listening to the music so loud. so during a heavy set he turned the music down on the auger. The auger who comes to gym warriors to train like an animal full throttle , heavy metal blazing! was pissed off!!! so pissed he cranked the music back up and you can only imagine !!! the feud began. Today was no different except with all the big guys walking around the gym. Senior bicep decided it was best to let the music blaze!!! The auger decided he would taunt senior bicep and he needed to pic the right song. A song that would set the place on fire.



he found the song Angel of death by slayer. Not only did he play the song but he decided to scream angel of death at the top of his lungs! yah he really did! The auger then completed his back work out when i interviewed him after this is what he told me. " this was the first time in working out that i actually felt productive". "i feel like i have been working out wrong for so long and now i fell like im doing every thing right". He also said " i felt a pump and small soreness in my chest from the previous days work out". it was not a normal soreness but something that felt productive! He also noticed that had left his food out for 2 hours on the counter because he forgot to tell me to throw it in the fridge. he then picked up his food and asked me to put it in the fridge. Literally 10 min later he asked me to grab his food. i started laughing to my self!!!

Big tim was on his way out the door when he decided to come back up into the gym for one last lift. the auger would spot him on a flat bench of 365 pound for 3 reps. now we have a good number to judge tim's strength gain!!! exciting i captured a pic of the auger in full concentration spotting big tim. 290 pounds!!


Mr. senior bicep decided to leave after he saw all this big weight lifting!! the auger decided to cellebrate and turned the music all the way up .. !!!!!!! blasting music and screaming weird moose calls. the auger had to take his vitamins, his glutamine, and his grape juice. He also had to eat his food! The auger ate his food and then left. you never know what will happen tomorrow or even today for that matter. i have to say you need to keep the faith, believe in your self and always train hard. But put your train to the brain!
