The Pizza & Beer Diet…
Imagine going out with your friends this weekend and indulging in a big ole pig out feast of pizza, a couple of beers… and oh what the heck, let’s toss in a few donuts in the mix as well for good measure 
Then imagine waking up the next morning in BETTER Shape then you were the day before… WTF?
Sounds like some Bull S%$t diet scam right?
Well, that’s exactly what I did the night before our post bodybuilding contest photo shoot and check out the ripped conditioning in the pics below…
Not too shabby eh?
Now granted the pizza and beer didn’t get me in that kind of shape “duh!”… But by including strategic “cheat & re-feed meals” throughout your fat loss diet will help speed up your results, fill out your muscle glycogen, make you look bigger, fuller, more vascular, and more ripped.
This stuff is all very common stuff among experienced bodybuilders and fitness competitors, but for the average folks who are new to dieting for fat loss the whole idea of eating “junk” and getting leaner sounds crazy… But when done properly – It Works!
However, the key is to do it *properly*…
If you screw up you’ll just end up looking like a bloated fat pig (not good).
But if you do it right the results will blow your mind!
Lucky for you my good friend Joel Marion has broken down the entire process into a
Fool Proof No Fail Step-By-Step System with his brand new…
“25-Day RAPID Xtreme FatLoss Program!”
This is a highly strategic system that incorporates cheat days, fast days, depletion days, and strategically timed exercise in the most ideal combination to yield the fastest possible results.
The “Official Release” of the Xtreme Fat Loss Program is not until next week, but Joel is running a $30 OFF pre-sale on the entire system from now until midnight this Thursday May 6th.

Get Ripped In Just 3 Weeks… WTF?
I have a question for you…
How would you like to blast away more stubborn bodyfat
in the next 3 weeks then you have in the past 3 months?
Now I know the whole idea of fast fatloss sounds a bit
“too good to be true” and I’ll be the first to say that for
permanent long term results it does require living a healthy
lifestyle of exercise, proper nutrition, etc.
However…
There are some insider tips and tricks that you can use to help
speed up the whole fatloss process and see REAL visible results
in just 25 days!
Bodybuilders and fitness competitors use these “insider tricks”
all the time to quickly peak themselves for competition so they
look lean, ripped, and cut for the contest stage.
But even if you are not a competitive bodybuilder you can
still use the same kinds of techniques to blast away that
layer of blubber and get in your best shape ever with my
good friend, Joel Marion’s brand new…
“25-Day RAPID Xtreme FatLoss Program!”
And I’ve got some great news for you – as of today, May 4th,
you can get the Xtreme FatLoss Program exclusive $30 OFF
behind-closed-doors pre-sale by clicking on the link below:
http://www.XtremeFatLossProgram.com
However there are several IMPORTANT things
I need to tell you up front…
1. The “Official Release” of the Xtreme Fat Loss Program is not
until next week, but Joel is running a $30 OFF pre-sale on the
entire system from now until midnight this Thursday.
2. This special pre-sale is NOT available to the general public,
you are only hearing about it because you are one of my personal
contacts with whom I share my best bodybuilding tips with…
So here’s the link again:
http://www.XtremeFatLossProgram.com
3. This program is NOT for everyone:
While Joel’s new system *is* all about how to losefat FAST
(up to 25 pounds in 25 days fast), it is NOT a “quick fix”,
magic-bullet solution.
Instead, it’s a highly strategic system that incorporates some
rather advanced strategies like cheat days, fast days, depletion
days, and strategically timed exercise in the most ideal
combination to yield the fastest possible results.
(I’ve personally used all these advanced techniques myself in
preparation for my most recent bodybuilding show and trust me,
they really do work!)
And believe it or not, Joel’s even including one little-known,
but extremely effective method on Day 5 of the program that will
actually help you GAIN a couple pounds of rock hard muscle mass
while you strip away fat at the same time!
Still, the truth remains: this is a somewhat “intense” system
and as such will require your full dedication and effort over
a short 25 day period – if you’re someone who’s not able to go
100% for 3 and a half weeks, this program isn’t going to be a
great fit for you.
BUT, if you’re someone who’s willing to put in the work and
follow the program to a letter for 25 short days, you can expect
to see some pretty remarkable progress in a very short period of
time.

4. VERY IMPORTANT (TODAY ONLY) - While the $30 OFF debut sale
will be available through Thursday, there is a super cool $397
Value FAST ACTION BONUS for Day 1 orders ONLY.
The Bonus - If you order today (and today only), you will be
given access to a LIVE 120-minute FatLoss All-Star Coaching
session where Joel Marion, John Romaniello (Final Phase FatLoss),
and Dr. Kareem Samhouri (Double Edged FatLoss) will ALL be on
the line to answer your personal fatloss questions.
This type of direct coaching from 3 industry experts all at
once is not available anywhere else at any price, but if you
pick up the Xtreme FatLoss Program TODAY, you'll gain access
to the LIVE call for *F-R-E-E*.
http://www.XtremeFatLossProgram.com
Bottom line, I wouldn’t be recommending this program to you if
I didn’t believe in it 110% – if you’re up for the 25 day
challenge, this is probably the “smartest” fat loss program
I’ve ever come across. And right now, you can get it before
*anyone* else while saving a full $30 here:

How To Stay Ripped While On Vacation…
These are my top 5 tips for staying ripped while still having fun on a beach vacation:
1.
First off if your goal is fat loss you’ll need to start getting lean well in advance. It’s pretty much pointless to expect to get visible abs in just a few weeks if you have a layer of bodyfat covering them now. I get asked this question all the time:
“Lee, I’m going on vacation in 3 weeks time. How can I lose bodyfat as fast as possible so that I”m ripped in time for the beach?”
Bottom line, they left it too late to make any significant changes. For me personally, I’d treat it just like I was getting ready for a bodybuilding contest and start dieting at least 3 months in advance. Granted this may seem a bit extreme for a beach vacation. But hey, any excuse to get in shape is a good one, so why not use your beach vacation as an excuse to get in your best shape ever!
To learn how I go about getting lean and ripped you should check out my “Extreme Fat Loss Program”
at: http://www.leehayward.com/dvd
2.
For the last week before your vacation I’d suggest following a very strict low carb diet and doubling up on your cardio. For us we actually did an hour of cardio each morning and then weight training followed by 30 minutes of cardio each evening everyday for the last week before we left.
This will prime your body to absorb all the extra food you’ll be eating and shuttle a good percentage of the extra calories towards muscle growth rather then getting stored as bodyfat.
3.
Realize you are going to gain some bodyfat while on vacation, especially if you are staying at an “All Inclusive Resort”. No body is going to leave a resort leaner then when they got there, and if you do, then you never enjoyed your vacation LOL
This is how we went about minimizing the damage…
Day 1: Pig Out!
The first day we went all out and totally enjoyed ourselves. We ate whatever we wanted, we drank a few high calorie adult beverages, and just had fun!
Why did we do this? To get the cravings out of your system right off the bat. Treat day 1 as a big ole cheat day!
4.
For the rest of our stay at the resort we went easier on the buffet. Focus on eating more veggies, lean protein, and fresh fruit while keeping the starches, and desserts to a minimum. Now if I wanted to try something I would, but emphasize portion control, often times a little taste is just as satisfying and a huge serving.
As for alcoholic drinks, even though they are included for free at most resorts doesn’t mean you need to drink like a fish. I’ll personally have an alcoholic drink, then for my next have a diet soda or juice, then for my next have a glass of water, and then another alcoholic drink. This way only 1 out of 3 drinks are “bad” and this goes a long way in keeping the damage to a minimum. Plus you’ll feel a lot better the next morning when you are NOT hung over 
5.
Stay active and have fun at the same time. Try taking in a workout at the resort gym on a daily basis, even if it’s just a quick 30 minute pump up. You can also keep active by walking, swimming, playing sports, paddle boats, kayak, or what ever physical activities they provide at the resort.
Follow these 5 tips right here and you’ll have fun, look your best, and have a kick ass vacation!

How Can You Tell If You Are Overtraining?
The whole topic of “Overtraining” is surrounded by myths and misconceptions in bodybuilding circles. Some fitness gurus believe that virtually everyone is overtraining, and then some other fitness gurus believe it’s impossible to overtrain… Obviously, the truth of the matter lies somewhere in between these two extremes.
According to Wikipedia they define Overtraining as:
Overtraining is a physical, behavioral and emotional condition that occurs when the volume and intensity of an individual’s exercise exceeds their recovery capacity. They cease making progress, and can even begin to lose strength and fitness. Overtraining is a common problem in weight training, but it can also be experienced by runners and other athletes.
And just like a lot of the valuable stuff you’ll find on Wikipedia, that definition of overtraining is pretty dam accurate in my opinion.
The big problem I find with most of my coaching students and website followers is they pretty much “know” what overtraining is, but they can’t really tell if they are overtraining in their own workouts or not.
The root of all this confusion comes from the fact that what is overtraining for one person, is not necessarily going to be overtraining for another person. We all have different levels of fitness, different levels of work capacity, and different recovery rates. Not only that, but all of these factors will change within the individual as they get more experienced with their workouts and get in better physical shape.
A common e-mail that I get at least a dozen times a day is one of my followers will send me a copy of their workout routine that they are following and then ask me:
“Am I Overtraining or Is My Routine Ok?”
And you know what I CAN’T accurately answer that question. Anything I say will only be an educated guess. Only YOU can truly tell if you are overtraining or not by monitoring your progress (or hiring a coach who is going to monitor your progress for you).
But I’ll give you some guidelines here within this article that you can use to help monitor your progress. This will allow you to decide for yourself if you are overtraining and if you should make changes to your workout routine, or if you can keep on doing what you are doing.
=======================
1. Strength Gains
Are you making strength gains with your workouts? You should strive to constantly improve your strength on a regular basis by either getting an extra rep on your sets, or adding an extra 5 pounds to the bar.
This is what we refer to as “progressive overload”. Now obviously it’s not alway going to happen each and every workout, but you should be seeing some noticeable progress in your strength as the weeks go by, especially if you have been tracking your workouts in a log book.
For your major lifts like bench presses, squats, deadlifts, rows, leg presses, etc. it should be fairly easy to make 5 pound jumps in weight on a regular basis. For the smaller isolation type of exercises like bicep curls, lateral raises, flyes, etc. the gains will come slower. After all there is a BIG difference between adding 5 pounds to a 200 pound squat compared to adding 5 pounds to a 20 pound dumbbell curl.
So right now do a quick self evaluation…
Have you been making steady strength gains over the past several weeks? Have you been able to set some new personal records with your major compound lifts? If so then chances are you are NOT overtraining.
However, if you have been lifting the same weights for months on end, or even worse you had to reduce some of your poundages on certain lifts, then you may very well be overtraining.
Gaining strength is one of the most easy to measure signs of progress with your workouts. And if you are not moving forwards, then you are moving backwards, it’s as simple as that.
=======================
2. Changes In Bodyweight
Another measurable way to monitor your progress is by keeping track of your bodyweight. Any unexplained changes in your bodyweight could be a sign of overtraining.
For example, if you are currently training to gain muscular size and bulk and you are hitting the gym hard and consistently. But you find that your weight is actually going down, when it should be going up, then you may very well be overtraining.
On the other side of the coin, if you are training for fat loss and you are following a very strict diet, doing regular cardio, and hitting the gym consistently. But you are still not losing any weight, or worse you are even gaining weight. Then this maybe a sign that you are overtraining.
You see your body has to be coaxed into making progress, you can’t force it. When you try to force your body to change it sometimes backfires and does the opposite of what you want. And one of the ways it does this is through unexpected weight changes.
A prime example of this is with a lot of overweight people who try and diet themselves skinny. Have you ever known someone who went on a borderline starvation diet or maybe even cut back to eating just one meal a day in effort to lose weight?
What usually happens is that their body basically says “F-ck You” and it ends up clinging to all the stored bodyfat for fuel, while burning up precious lean muscle tissue in effort to slow their metabolism down. It does the exact opposite of what the dieter is trying to accomplish. In fact they may actually gain fat in this calorie deprived state.
Some words of advice that you should follow when trying to change your body, be that gaining muscle or losing fat, is that most people “over estimate” how hard improving their physique will be… But they “under estimate” how long it will take…
Bottom line, you don’t have to force yourself, torture yourself, or any such thing. You just have to be consistent with the basics over the long term in order to get the results you want.
=======================
3. Energy & Motivation
The first 2 guidelines are concrete and measurable. Meaning they are actual numbers that anyone can monitor and instantly see if there is any change or not. But this 3rd guideline is more subjective and you have to be extra cautious when monitoring subjective things because human error and inexperience can really screw things up.
If you have been training hard and consistent for weeks or months on end and then all of a sudden you find that your strength, energy, and motivation for your workouts start to drop then this is very likely a sign of overtraining and it’s your body’s way of telling you that you need a rest.
But the problem here comes with less experienced fitness enthusiasts who often times mistake lack of motivation from plain old laziness as “overtraining” and then they may end up backing off with their training, when in fact they need to do the exact opposite and kick themselves in the butt and push it even harder.
For beginner and intermediate level bodybuilders it’s best to focus primarily on the concrete and measurable guidelines to determine if you are on the right track with your workouts and avoiding overtraining. But as you get more advanced in your training and you get in tune with your body, how you “feel” will be more accurate.
=======================
A prime example of this occurred within my own training just recently…
I’m currently less then a month out from my next bodybuilding competition and I’ve been training very hard for this event. My daily routine consists of approx. 2 hours of cardio, weight training workouts, as well as posing practice all while following a carbohydrate and calorie restricted diet.
Now a mild form of overtraining is actually quite normal for competitive bodybuilders in their pre-contest phase, especially when their main concern is pushing the limits with burning off as much bodyfat as possible.
But just this past weekend I hit the wall so to speak, I was physically and mentally run down and I could hardly keep myself awake during the day. I knew darn well that I was overtrained and needed a break. So I purposely took a couple days off from training entirely…
No Cardio. No Weight Training. No Posing.
And I purposely ate more food as well to help fill out my liver glycogen stores and aid with my recovery.
After just 2 days of this I feel like a new man, I have literally gained about 5 pounds (mostly from the extra carbs and water weight) but I’m feeling myself again and ready to kick it back into high gear and push it hard for the final few weeks to get in my best contest shape ever.
Having this sense and knowing when to push it hard, and when to back it off is critical as you get more advanced. It will help keep you on the edge with your workouts and moving yourself in the right direction towards your bodybuilding and fitness goals.
