I’ve been on the forums for a while and I’ve made a ton of progress thanks to you guys.
But I’ve accepted that I simply don’t have the knowledge and the self-discipline to get to the truly excellent level. I need a mentor, and I realize that no one is going to do it for free. As Dave Tate said in a recent article, I’ll just pay someone to get me lean. Who better than my fellow T-Nation members?
Here’s the deal:
John Berardi offers a group online coaching and guarantees his results for $99/mo. Two problems:
I don’t want to wait until his next class
I don’t want to pay that much
That’s where you come in. I’m sure there are plenty of really smart, really qualified trainers and lifters on this forum who don’t have the reputation like CT or Berardi but are just as capable of getting someone into amazing shape. I want to help you. I want this bad enough that I will be your guinea pig and pay you for it, and I will post your results so people can see the success you brought me through your programs and nutritional advice. Here’s what I want
-I am at 192lb @ 11.2% body fat as of today
-I want to get to approx. 205 @ 7-8%. Getting down to that body fat % is the highest priority
-I’ll give you 6 months
-Whatever you offer, I want a guarantee. If I get there and give it 100%, you get paid. If I don’t, you don’t get paid (hey, Berardi offers a guarantee on his money). If I slack, that’s my fault and you still get paid.
Here’s what you do
-Complete workout program, tailored to me
-Complete nutritional/supplement program, tailored to me
-Any advice along the way, all through the forums
In return, I will give you 100%. I will start a thread with all of my workout progress and post pictures of my physique progress so you can showcase the transformation if you are an up-and-coming trainer. I won’t bitch or ask questions about your methods – I’m paying you to make me ripped, so I will trust your methods. I know that what I’m doing isn’t working and I need help. Please PM me if you’re up for it, I really want a mentor and a coach. Send me what you’d want to be paid a month and how much progress you can make if I’m under your wing, and the best offer wins.
So you want someone to work with you for 6 months in the hopes that you pay them after it’s over?
Also your goals are lofty and honestly pretty unrealistic unless you are looking to use drugs for the first time or have exceptional genetics and have just been lax with diet/training.
You got this dude, I mean your my age, with a lil more reasearch and due diligence, you don’t need anyone’s help. Advice and pointers yeah sure but I think you are entirely capable.
No one reputable will work for the possibility of being paid. I work with only a few clients at my gym, due to time constraints, and more importantly the fact that I don’t do free consultations for members. You want my time and expertise, you deal accordingly.
You’re asking for someone to make you gain 20lbs of lean muscles mass in 6 months, while also winding up extremely lean from where you are now…
As has been mentioned, unless you plan on using drugs this is just retarded, since if you had the genetics to do something like that it’s doubtful you would be asking for such help.
