1st Place?!

Hi again,

Quick update. Definately feel I am going to win my class, which at a super pro qualifier usually means a pro card.

But two guys did not make weight in my class and there is only 4 in the middleweights. The WNBF apparently has an little unknown rule that states in a super pro qualifier there must be at least 5 in a class for the winner to qualify as a pro.

What does this all mean? If I win my class, like I believe I did, I must now win the overall versus all of the other weight class winners!

I guess 1 point in June doesn't hurt so much now!

Keep your fingers crossed! I have my work cut out for me!

Staying positive,

Tyler English, NASM-PES, CPT

Who has more Lean Muscle?

Hi friends,

Here we go!

I am on the 850am Express to Grand Central! I slept late! SO much info the past 2 days at my seminar and my brain is still trying to process it.

Check-in starts at 9am, guess I won't be on time for that :/ but I won't be on stage until after 1pm.

Thank you for all your support! (Mom, if you can't make it, no worries, I still love you!)

I got a reminder email this morning on how important winning this show is to me.I had a had a recurring bill notification on my blackberry, the final one of $299,(it cost a little more than that one payment) from my seminar. It only cost me $40 for the competition!

Its ok I gained my $ back in 2 days! Now I am on another mission! Time for the Gun Show! The time to wear my lean muscle mass proud is NOW! WNBF Pro Status here I come!

Going strong,

Tyler English, NASM-PES, CPT

True Confidence!

Another long day at the fitness seminar in Stamford, CT. In two days I have met some truly amazing individuals. Unfortunately, I will not be attending the final day of the seminar. Instead I will be traveling to New York City to compete in the INBF (International Natural Bodybuilding Federation) Naturalmania.

Yes, I know what you are saying. How many competitions has he competed in this year. Well, the answer, after Saturday, will be 7! I actually competed last weekend in a warm-up in Southington, CT (I kept it on the down low). The show was the OCB Northern Atlantic States and initially was nothing more than a preparation for this weekend. Low and behold...I WON THE WHOLE THING!

The positive from that is it was the first time I had won an overall at a competition and I am feeling pretty confident going into tomorrow. The negative is it was the first year for the promoter at that venue thus it was not a professional qualifier so I was not awarded a Pro Card for winning.

So as I leave my fellow fitness trainers behind tomorrow I am doing something I love. In my short time on this earth I have learned if you truly love something than you should follow your heart. I truly love competing and this time I know I am not going to fall 1 point short of becoming a WNBF Pro!

I will talk to you all tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed!

Dedicated to your fitness success,

Positive People!

Today, I am in Stamford, CT for my second day of BOOT CAMP! Now, I know you all probably wish I was getting my butt whooped! Sorry to let you down, but this is a different style BOOT CAMP but it has been just what the doctor ordered!

Yesterday, I spent the entire day surrounded by some the most successful people in the fitness industry. Many of these men and women have grown fitness empires doing what they love and they were able to accomplish it for one reason. They are passionate and LOVE what they do!

In the past month I have had one of those runs you just want to put behind you and move on. All in one day I had a year and a half relationship end, I packed up my life and moved to Middletown, CT and my beautiful grandmother passed away, later that night, after a long battle with cancer. Sorry, but I can't make this stuff up, I wish I were, but these were the cards I was dealt!

For the past few weeks I have been quiet to speak out and have lost touch with too many. Well, I AM BACK!

Being in a room with 150 of the fitness industry's most enthusiastic and inspiring people has been the kick in the ass that I needed! (pardon my French mom)

Many of the presenters have been blueprinting their success and allowing me to take 20 pages of notes in the first day! (Just picture ME sitting in a chair from 9am to 7pm...hahaha! I can't sit still EVER and due to my water intake I took 37 bathroom breaks! (Ok, maybe not that many, it sure felt like it!)

I expect today to be just as awesome as yesterday, if not better! I have made some truly unbelievable contacts in 1 day!

Everything I am taking from here is giving me what I need to my Core Training for Women System up and running! The tide is turning and I promise you I am giving myself a deadline on Monday for completion of my system!

It feels great to surround yourself with positive people. Are you doing the same? I sure hope so. A recent study showed that social support was one of the keys to those who lost succeeded in their weight loss and those who fail!

If you are lacking that social support I have a few spots left in my BOOT CAMP that starts THIS MONDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd! Those spots will fill up SO DON'T HESITATE! Sign up today.

Dedicated to your fitness success,
Tyler English, NASM-PES, CPT
