    I do fly to train people but it's usually groups of people.

    I am almost finished with the Slingshot Training updates. The Slingshot Diet plays a major role as well. I am spoon feeding it in the revised version. I'll let you know when it's finished. You should have no problems following the new updates.

    Pic 1) I had not trained in a couple of years due to having surgeries. Picture was taken at age 32. I know it was sad...LOL..

    Pic 2) Taken at age 39 for local newpaper. I had just got back into training after having been off for 6 months from a bicep tendon repair surgery. I popped my tendon experimenting with rest-pause training (never again)!!!

    Pic 3 ) Taken after my bicep tendon surgery (OUCH)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pic 4) Taken at age 41 during an off-season bulking phase.
    Nice transformation.

    I read a good amount of the posts on this thread and I must say that I never heard of this method called STS but...

    there is a well-known trainer on these boards that I worked with that has a training method VERY similar to this. All I can tell you is before my life got really busy I was following this method almost to a T and eating very well OFF CYCLE mind you, and I was getting lots of compliments about how I "seemed to be getting bigger every week". All I was using was creatine, whey, NO2 supplement...

    You make a good point about being able to make gains as a natural. I've seen guys who did not respond well to steroids but could make great gains by training smart and eating a well balanced diet. I've also seen people who responded well to "legal" pro-hormones.

    8 weeks out from show

    I'm 8 weeks out from doing my first show. I have helped others get on stage but never had the desire to to it myself until this year. So far the journey has been fun. 8 more weeks til show time. I plan to enter 3 different classes.

    HERES SOME PICS TAKEN AT THE GYM YESTERDAY AFTER TRAINING CHEST/ABS. KEEP IN MIND I AM FLAT FROM BEING IN KETOSIS. I WILL EXPAND DURING THE CARBING UP PHASE.

    SIDE CHEST-"TRICEP VEINS" STARTING TO APPEAR IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY

    I am weighing around 200 when carb depleted at 5'9 and about 208 after carb loading. I gained 8 pounds in roughly 8 hours last saturday by simplying eating 500 grams of carbs. I over did it and it took half the next day to get back in ketosis-so it seemed.

    Will probably hit the stage in the upper 180's to lower 190's area after carb loading. Weight is not my concern so much as getting down to 4% body fat. I've watched guys try and come in too big only to be smoked by a lighter guy who was ripped to shreds.

    The day after eating some carbs. I am in ketosis so fats and salt are the only thing giving me some pump on most days.

    Starting to show some quad vascularity. My quads use to be a strong point before my lower back injury. Due to nerve damage they will never be the same.

    I couldn't care less whether or not it's marketing or not. Whether the program works, or not. I would just like to see more before pictures of the same dude. Those are INSANE results and good for you.

    So shut the nay sayers up!

    I should probably dig up some before pics and scan them. They are hard for me to look at...
