Success Stories and Positive Feedback

This page contains success stories and positive feedback that I have received from people who I have helped with regards to their training, nutrition, and supplementation programs. It is very inspirational and motivating to here success stories and positive feedback like this.

It really gives me a lot of personal satisfaction knowing that I am helping people achieve their fitness goals. What impresses me the most is that these are regular people, like you and me, who have achieved incredible results by following the suggestions and techniques found on this website. Not only do these people look and feel better physically, but they also feel better mentally, they have higher self-esteem, and self-confidence that comes from achieving their fitness goals.

Hi, my name is Peter Guerrero,

I completed the blast your bench program a couple months ago. I increased my bench by 30 lbs, for which I am very grateful. At first my friends laughed at me but then they saw the result.

Thanks, I appreciate it, and I will most likely be playing D1 college football now - not just cause of the bench but it helped.

Thanks,

Pete

Your program worked great for me. I put on 40lbs to my bench press using your diet/lifting techniques.

Thank you very much for your help

Lee,

Your program ("Blast Your Bench") was the best $10 I've ever spent. My maximum bench press was 170 lb. when I started the program. After the program it is an astonishing 230 lb. I increased my bench 60 lb.. This is more than I expected. I plan on repeating this program shortly.

Thank you,
Joe Rebholz

Lee,

Hello Lee,

A couple of months ago I bought your "Living Lean" program. Between a lot of cardio/Vasc exercise + careful use of the E/c/a stack I have lost all the bodyfat that I wanted to.

Many thanks for your help & tips.

Hello Lee!!

I was searching the net and I stumbled onto your website. I have to tell you that I think that your website is one of the best that is out there. The information that you provide is excellent. I don't have to tell you that there is a lot of miss-information about bodybuilding on the web. Anyone who is looking to improve there body through exercise and without the assistance of drugs would benefit from reading the articles on your website. I commend you on a job well done!!

Hi,

I just finish my 2nd week of your "Blast you Bench" program. I've just started working out. I'm 15 and weigh 135. I'm pretty skinny but not as skinny as before I started working out. When I first started your program my max was 120 which is very sad since I couldn't even bench my weight. Now my max is 140. But again I'm only in the 2nd week so I should go up even more. My goal for right now is to hit 150 soon and hit 180 before the end of the summer.

Oliver

Many thanks for the Living Lean program, it looks like there was a lot of effort and time put into this. Good job.

Thanks,

Mark Pearce

Hey Lee.

I like your site. It's great to see someone get a little bit more interactive with people when it comes to health and fitness. I have searched the internet far and wide for help and finally I found your site with your helpful programs and advice.

Yesterday I downloaded your "Living Lean" program, and I intend to follow it intensely starting Monday (May 29). I have found that you have kept it simple, and in the same way I was thinking of creating a workout routine.

.....

I want to thank guys like you who help people reach these stages. It seems that you are the "catalyst" which helps the process. So thanks.

Lee,

Your abs are looking great. I have followed a couple of your ab suggestions and my 6-pack is even more solid than before. One guy actually hurt his wrist when punching.

Thanks!

Dear Lee,

First off I would like to commend your "Blast Your Bench" program. I am 17, I weigh 207 lbs. and since using your program went from 280 on the bench to 315! This program was great! I made impressive gains in just 3 short weeks. I have given it to all my buddies and they are making great gains as well...

I really enjoy your web site. I think it's great that you have achieved so much already.

Thanks for your time.

God Bless,

Hi Mr. Lee

At this point I have lost about 28 lbs. and I have been doing your workout for about 3 to 4 weeks and I feel very good, better then ever. I am 35 years old and I have three children they cannot believe it that I have been doing this good. I have tried other diets and nothing has helped but I decided on August 22 1999 that would look better and fill better so I did. Now it is January 2000 and I look very good and the best thing is that I feel good and healthier then ever.

Thank you, your book is very good.

Hi Lee,

I got your Living Lean & Blast your bench books, thanks!

I've lost track of how many times I've read them now.

Chris

Dear Lee,

Thanks for a most inspiring and informative web page and personal profile. You're a true role model for any prospective bodybuilding athlete. I'm a Spanish teacher and often deal with youngsters with low self-esteem. By association with people who are seriously into fitness and bodybuilding I have managed to get some of my students interested in working out and developing fitness goals for themselves. Your many efforts and many achievements truly deserve wider recognition. I want to congratulate you on a terrific career and for your determinatin in passing on the benefits of your hard work and experience to others who surf the net in search of inspiration and positive reinforcement. Have a good holiday season and may 2,000 be a year of ongoing triumphs for you and may your dreams continue to come true.

Most sincerely,

Julio Verdecia

Hello Lee!

Just wanted to let you know that your program has been a big help to my training routine. I've been following advice from "Living Lean" for about a month and a half and already I am seeing a reduction in body fat & have gained a serious amount of lean muscle.

Hi Lee

Thank you for sending me the Living Lean program. I have been following it for 2 weeks now and find already I have more energy.

This letter is from Peter De Goeij. Peter has made some of the most amazing improvements to his physique that I have ever seen.

Peter has been heavily overweight all of his life even though he kept active by playing various sports and swimming. In 1994 Peter got into working out and continued to play sports and swim. Overtime all of the activity took its toll and Peter injured the tendons in his right shoulder. He had to stop working out and playing sports because of the injury. And to make things worse he was eating very unhealthy (i.e. a lot of junk foods, sweets, fatty foods, etc.).

Well, the lack of exercise and poor eating habits caused Peter to gain a lot of excess weight. Just last summer Peter was 281 lbs. He was very overweight to say the least.

Peter finally said enough is enough, he was fed up with being grossly out of shape and decided to do something about it. He cleaned up his eating by cutting out the junk foods and sweets. He also started doing aerobic exercise and weight training (he mostly worked his legs and torso because of his injured right shoulder).

The clean eating and exercise was working. Peter did lose a lot of bodyfat and felt better about himself. But he still had a lot of bodyfat to lose and he wasn't sure if he could do it on his own. Lucky for Peter, he stumbled across my website and he decided to order the "Living Lean" program.

I have been working with Peter over the past few months with regards to his workout program, proper nutrition, and supplementation. And he has been getting absolutely amazing results.

......................................

So what did that "dieting and sporting" do for me.. I must say I think it was great. In the last five weeks I dropped another 3.5 kilos in weight. Last Saturday I was 85.8kg (= 189.1lbs). That means that in one year I lost 41.8 kg (= 92 lbs.) , because last year after holidays I was 127.6 kg (=281.3 lbs.). I think that is not bad at all, and I must say that I feel WAAAAAY better than I did last year.
........
I look much more "ripped" now and the muscles of my upper legs are starting to show when I put pressure on them... Moreover my chest muscles are beginning to show up as well.

Thank you for mailing me back every time. Your inputs are just the thing I needed to get me on track. I started last year with the goal to feel better and to lose at least 50lbs. Now I have lost over 90lbs, I feel great and I must say that I start to love my weight training. I think I understand the feeling every real bodybuilder must have when he/she can see results. I know I'm starting to like it now.

Hope to hear/read from you soon.

Peter

NOTE: I got an e-mail from Peter on September 14 1999, and he has lost even more bodyfat!

...
Last weekend I weighed myself and again I have made some "gains" (or losses is maybe the better word for it). I am now 81.8kg (=180.3lbs)!! Yes I have lost over 100lbs in just over a year... I really cannot believe it myself if I did not see it..
...

I've already sent you an email, but again I want to commend you for your accomplishments, both physically and professionally (as a bodybuilder/webmaster). You are very patient, through, and enlightening in your comments and replies. Even at such a young age, you are a very mature and experienced bodybuilder. I'm sure you can help me with my goal of getting to at least 190 lbs (I currently weigh about 178) and am 5'7" tall (with small legs and no calves). You get the picture. Keep up the good work. I've read EVERYTHING (including all of your archived Q & A's) and it is all informative. In the words of the great Arnold S, "I'll be back!" O'D

O'D
