There’s nothing I enjoy more than hearing about the success stories of my online followers. And today I’ve got a good one to share with you…<\/p>\n

This one is from 16 year old<\/u> high school football player, Michael Thomas DiNardo<\/strong>, who has been working out for a couple years now and a regular follower of Total Fitness Bodybuilding since the start.<\/p>\n

Michael was one of the very first guys to test out the 21-Day Fast Mass Building Program<\/u><\/a> which worked really well for him. After his very first 21-Day Cycle through this was his results…

\nHey Lee.<\/p>\n

I just wanted to say thanks. I finished the 21-day mass building program and it improved my mass\/strength a lot. I used to weigh 115 when I started your program and now just tipped the scale at 121. My max bench press was 135 but now I after just 21 days I maxed out at 150 pounds! My chin-ups increased from doing 9 and now can literally do 19 in a row.<\/p>\n

I have been following the program exactly as outlined right from the start and it works awesome. I am supper happy and very grateful that I used it. <\/p>\n

Since then I’ve been following along with Michael’s workout progress and he has made some amazing progress. He is very disciplined and serious about his workouts and is very well developed for a 16 year old. The pics below show his physique transformation that he achieved over the last 2 years of weight training.<\/p>\n

\nBelow is an overview of Michael’s bodybuilding journey (written in his own words)…<\/strong>
\n
\nI grew up living by the quote “Hard Work Beats Talent, When Talent Doesn’t Work Hard”. Being a Football Running-Back. I knew there was always going to be more talented athletes along the way, and I had no control over that. The only thing I can control is how hard I work. Which is why I started weight training to help me become a better Football player.<\/p>\n

I’m a Sophomore in High school and I’ve come along way from were I started. I have always wanted to start weight training for as long as I could remember. Watching sports movies with my dad every night and seeing the training montages like the Rocky Movies always got me pumped up. So in the summer of going into 8th grade I got a gym membership. Like a lot of people I had no idea what in the world I was doing. So I did tons of research and found Lee Hayward’s Total Fitness Bodybuilding website and YouTube videos. Whenever Lee posted a new video I’d watch it right away.<\/p>\n

When I first started I was very small and weak. I was a 14 year old benching 85 pounds. But I didn’t let that discourage me, I kept training and following Lee’s advice on how to workout and eat right. I’d often wake up before school at 5am just so I could lift weights before school because I didn’t have time to workout after school due to Football practice. <\/p>\n

With Lee’s help I started making very noticeable gains and I never quit. Over the past 2 years I’ve gained 60 pounds of muscle and drastically improved my strength and speed. My bench press went up by 135 pounds and now I can bench 220 pounds at 16 years old.<\/p>\n

Weight training has helped me to improve my skills on the football field tremendously. Thanks so much Lee for all the workouts and advice. My goal is to play Football at a higher level one day and I’m going to be using Lee’s training methods to help me get there.<\/p>\n

Thanks,
