Ed
Ryan is a gym owner and natural bodybuilder from Fort
Myers, Florida. Ed had competed in bodybuilding contests
before, placing 2nd in his first bodybuilding show. He
competed in the same show a year later but dropped down
to 3rd place at 38 years old.
Ed
contacted me via email and requested my advice to help
him win his next bodybuilding contest. He was planning
on competing in two competitions in 2005 and he wanted
to improve his condition and his placings the next time
he stepped onstage. Ed told me he was tired of trying
so hard and always missing out on that coveted first place
trophy.
I asked Ed to write out his current training and nutrition
program using my online Personal Consultation Program.
When I was able to see what Ed had been doing to prepare
for his previous competitions, I was able to fix it up
so he would see better results in less time.
This
was a unique situation because Ed was in Florida and I
was in Chicago. I had never met Ed face to face and, in
fact, had never even talked to him on the phone. All of
our interaction was done through emails and the internet.
After
Ed received his training and nutrition consultation, I
continued to advise him all the way up to his contest.
Ed would email me each week with his current measurements
(waist) and bodyweight. He would also email me the diet
he was following each day during that week.
I wanted to see significant changes to Ed’s physique
each week. If his waist measurement did not go down by
the end of each week, I would carefully look over his
diet and make some changes. Sometimes this change would
involve cutting back on his carbohydrate intake. At one
point, I suggested he cut back on his cardio because he
was becoming overtrained by doing cardio more than five
times a week.
By
overseeing Ed’s diet each week and by Ed’s
consistent adherence to his training and nutrition each
and every day, we were able to make some major changes
to Ed’s physique. He was retaining his muscle mass
with noticeable reductions to his bodyfat.
As
Ed’s first competition got closer, Ed would email
me photos of himself doing the mandatory poses. I was
able to advise Ed on ways of improving each pose so he
could display his physique to it’s maximum advantage.
After all, there is no sense in working so hard to improve
your physique if you don’t know how to show it off
properly.
At
Ed’s first contest, he reached his goal by taking
first place overall in the Masters division. He was so
excited, he emailed me immediately after he got home from
the contest.
As pumped up as Ed was, however, he was skeptical about
repeating his victory at his next contest as the competition
was expected to be much harder than the first show.
I
continued to oversee Ed’s diet and training for
the next two weeks before his second bodybuilding competition.
With some slight modifications to his diet, Ed was able
to get even harder for his next contest.
I
was not surprised when Ed took first overall again in
his second bodybuilding competition. Two first place overall
victories back to back! Ed had finally achieved his goal
of winning not one but two bodybuilding contests.
I was particularly proud of my collaboration with Ed Ryan
because I was able to help him change his physique exclusively
online without the benefit of seeing him in person. If

Ed Ryan’s comments on the Online Consultation
Program
Everyone trying to stay fit and healthy needs some type
of motivation. When you own a fitness center and train
people all day long finding motivation is even more difficult.
After finishing 2nd in my first bodybuilding show and
3rd in my second show (at age 38) I decided I needed to
find someone or some thing to take me to the next level.
2nd place is just not good enough.
After
reading several of his articles in IronMan I purchased
John’s book, “Natural Bodybuilding”
and read it cover-to-cover. When you are drug-free you
have to take most of what you read in magazines with a
grain of salt. There is no way the human body will grow
massive, without the use of Steroids. Something the magazine
Publisher’s either just assume we all know or, try
to fool readers by never pointing that out. John’s
book was a much needed breathe of fresh air – and
truth!
I reached out to John, via e-mail. For being a 2-time
Mr. Natural Universe and a Mr. Natural Olympia winner,
he was friendlier than I ever imagined he would be. We
worked out an arrangement where John would put together
an eating plan and workout routine for me and together
we would modify it along the way. I was preparing for
two shows and I did not want to place second or third
again.
John
“trained” me for 12 weeks. I live in Fort
Myers, FL. He lives in Chicago. Every Saturday I took
pictures and e-mailed them to John for his comments. I
also measured my waist and tracked everything I ate. We
made adjustments along the way and whenever I had any
questions we communicated via e-mail. It was exactly what
I needed.
I
entered two shows in 2005 and I’m happy to say that
I took 1st place both times. There is no doubt in my mind
that without John I would not have won. It’s one
thing when your family and friends tell you that you look
good. It’s another thing when you get total honesty
from someone who’s been on stage before in front
of those judges.
My
advice to anyone interested in competing – no matter
what your age – or, if you are just trying to get
past a plateau in your fitness program, buy his book and
then call him. John is very user friendly, always upbeat,
honest and most of all, he’s been there so he has
credibility.
Thanks John. |
