    Exclamation Are these before and after photos real??

    Of course my before and after photos are real!!!

    Here are my transformation pictures using the Slingshot Training System.

    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.

    Not sure about that but, if a system has been proven to work wonders with repeatable results, then I think that's all that should matter.

    Obviously, it doesn't hurt to have a lot of science and physiology to back it up. I will say this- "I have never seen any training system that can provide better results than Slingshot Training."

    If it works I agree,but This type of training is nothing new to the game that I'm sure of.

    It took me about 3 years to go from a flabby 165 lbs to a solid 240 lbs.

    Not at all! I'm on here helping for free.

    You should give Slingshot Training a test drive. You might just get surprised!

    Actually, the jacked-up back belongs to one of my trainees- Tricky Jackson Pro-Bodybuilder.

    I only wish I had a back like Tricky's...LOL...

    bros...i have been working with ronnie for the first round of slingshot and I have to admit that I originally thought it was hype but i decided to give it a whirl.

    My gains: 185 lbs to 225 lbs at end of cruise phase.
    Crazy strength gains - check my Slingshot Log in the workout forum.

    your claiming to have gained 40 pounds in how long? do you honestly think anyone with real training experience would believe a 40 pound weight gain in even a year for a newbie lifter and your claiming this in a matter of weeks/months.

    no way. the program might be great but that is bullsh@t. and if its 40 pounds of some muscle and a good amount of fat who cares then, anyone can get fat. no experienced lifter is going to miraculously jump in weight like that. coming from someone with alot of experience, i would find it remarkably more interesting to hear someone say "ive been training 5 or 6 years now seriously and this new program added 7 pounds of muscle in 16 weeks". that is interesting. 40 pounds, sounds like bullsh@t because it probably is.

    Actually, moush has a very slow metabolism and some of the weight gain was water. In addition, he lost more in the anabolic prime than I wanted him to. With his metabolism, he could have gained even more in an 8 week period. It's impossible to gain that much muscle in 2 months but he did gain the weight. I've been with him from the start and he's telling the truth! This time around he will take in much slower. His body was no use to this form of training and diet.

    bro who are you to say its bs? I really did gain that much weight and yes it was water weight as well but still weight gain. All in all its almost the end of week 2 of the anabolic prime round 2 and im down to about 215 lbs

    i say its bs because that kind of claim (which is typical internet banter) is impossible even with a large amount of anabolics. muscle tissue doesnt just grow over night. thats my bs claim and im right about that.

    as for the program, i have read it and a few of the logs too. im always open to new training systems. it sounds great. i dont dog training systems that are legit. i only dog bullsh@t claims. you cleared up the air as did sling shot. i would hate to see a great system fall victim to the bs internet claim saga that follows new programs claiming miraculous results over night.

    to tenmoney:
    your post i would believe completely. 8 weeks, 12 or so pounds with fat and water taken into account, completely doable. if even 5 of that is lean tissue that is a ton (in my opinion) in such a short period. good for you.

    Thanks man, I appreciate it. I hope you didn't take my post as a blast at you. I've seen a lot of people dog out STS and Ronnie the past few months and had to put in my 2 cents. Ronnie really does go WAY out of his way to help anyone who asks for it, myself being one of them. I guess it really is true, no good deed goes unpunished. lol.

    I have been training seriously for 3 years (did my first amateur show this past Aug.). I know it's not the 5-6 years you were looking for, but I hope it it's enough. I'm finishing up my first cycle of STS this week, and I can say that I have seen my best results with STS. If you want, check out my STS log. I have blasted through plateaus that have plagued me for 6 months. People have been commenting on how I'm looking bigger than ever before. I have kept my BF down to about 12% the whole time and I have put on about 8lbs of muscle, in 8 weeks. And before anyone wants to jump to conclusions, I have been supplementing nothing but protein and creatine/simple carbs. Aside from back pain from squats (which was here long before I started STS) I have never felt better. Not only am I stronger than I have ever been, but this is also the healthiest/most injury free I've ever been.

    To evreyone else:

    Ronnie has been a tremendous help all along the way. He never asks for anything in return. He is a true "coach"/trainer. I have coached for 11 years and if there is one thing that I've learned about other coaches; A true coach/trainer gets his rewards from seeing those that he/she works with succeed. I would have to agree w/ Moush, before you (and by you, I mean anyone) start to talk crap about Ronnie or STS, give it a try. Really give it a try. If at that point it you find fault w/ it, then I know Ronnie would love to hear your feedback so that he can make whatever adjustments may be necessary. I'm sorry, but anyone wants to talk mess about STS (or anything for that matter) before doing any kind of research on their own is incredibly myopic and you would do well to keep your unfounded opinions to yourself.



    The only shady thing Ronnie has ever done to me is totally steal my argument for STS in Post #22 of this thread. lol. It was a good one I thought, I don't mind you using it.

    Hmmm, this seems a little "marketed" to me. I just don't understand why someone would push this program so much if they are impartial other than good results themselves....

    WelshWarrior, I'm sorry you feel that way.

    First off, I'm tired of seeing some people go around the same stupid mountain over and over again. Second, many people cannot afford these insane prices a lot of personal trainers charge. If trying to help others is a "marketing ploy"-then I am quilty as charged!

    I agree that there seems to be a marketing style approach to this, but I have looked over it in detail and I haven't seen anywhere where they are trying to sell you anything. The entire training philosophy is spelled out for us in detail, free of charge. I could be wrong but it looks to me like he has found something that works in most cases and is excited to share it with others. Just my 2 cents.

    How dare you try to fool us by giving away advice... What are you selling anyway? We would all have much more respect for you if you charged us a ridicules amount of money. J/K
    You have a vast store of knowledge and you are a great trainer. I appreciate you sharing and helping out.

    Thats a very strong accusation. Ive read slingshot's training methods and many of his posts. I have not once seen him try to sell anything. Have you? Do you have proof of what youre saying? In fact, the only thing Ive seen from him is an over desire to share whats working for him in an attempt to help others.

    I dont train like he does but from what Ive read, there is nothing in slingshot's posts that will put anyone at physical or monetary risk.

    So keep your unfounded claims to yourself, because you look like an idiot.

    instead of accusing the guy why dont you go and read about the program and giving it a shot?

    Honestly bros, the program does do what is claimed. There are 3 ongoing workout journals using the STS program. Read up and look at the strength and weight gains from this program.
