Few Lessions In Life

The more I live the more I learn, humans are fascinating creatures. It constantly amazes me how unique each person is, of course you can place people in categories but no 2 person are the same (even identical twins).  To be the best personal trainer I can be, I consistently find myself studying: exercise science, anatomy and psychology. Where is all this going your probably wonder right about now? I'm gonna drop a little insight on things I've learned during a series of blog posts this week.

First here are some suggested Readings: As A Man Thinketh, Psycho Cybernetics, Think and Grow Rich (if your interested I can give you a copy of each).

Seeing as how this is my personal blog lets get back to my personal life. MY LEGS FUCKING HURTS, but I love it. If you follow my workout programs you know March was 5x5 month; squat, deadlift and bench press to build size and strength. Well that's all change now that I've reach my 200lb goal. Now it's a 4 day split that feels like death. (workouts and such are covered in the avadeanlewis.com blog)

....too tired to continue writing...

I have a very competent team surrounding me workout towards a chief aim: revolutionizing the fitness industry.

The Best Me

The time has gotten much warmer and I like most people out there am getting my body ready for summer. I recently achieved my goal of getting back up to 200lbs. Now my new goal is to maintain my weight, bring up my week points all while getting shredded. You can check out my new workout program by clicking here. It feels so good to finally be happy with myself again, I absolutely hated being under 200lbs. I've been very bless lately, AvadeanLewis.com Personal Training is doing well along with AvadeanLewis.com Video, we are currently working on our “Gain 15lbs of muscle and loose 8% of body fat in 6 weeks, then keep it!” project. Bodybuilding.com provided us with some supplements which will be featured in the project. The workouts for the project are being done at New York Fitness Professionals, our location in New Rochelle, New York. We will start publishing the video and blog posts to go with the project in the next few weeks.

Aside for all the great things happening with work I've had a few ups and downs in my personal life. More ups than downs however. I have to thank God for all my blessings. Some people look and my life and think its easy but it's far from it. I don't let negative things get me down, I stay focused and keep my goals in sight.

Inspired

The people around me inspire me in so many ways. They are all working on improving themselves and achieving their goals so that makes me set high goals for myself and actively work towards there attainment daily. Some of the people in my circle are the hardest working people I've ever come across but more importantly they work harder on themselves than they do anything else.

I've challenged a few of the people in my circle to write down their 100 goals in life. I myself am putting together my 100 goals. I feel it's an important activity so I'm going to extend this challenge to anyone who reads this. Thinking about and writing down goals is such a powerful activity. It gets your imagination going and reminds you that anything is possible. Some of my goals may not be noble but they are important to me none the lest, after all you have to live a little.

I'll share 5 of my goals with you:
1. get avadeanlewis.com to rank in the top 1000 websites globally
2. win my WNBF pro card
3. obtain a balance in my physical, mental and spiritual health
4. open a gym
5. make anyone who ever said I wouldn't make it eat their words!

I will be shooting videos to go with the november and december routine today, 2moro and sat, the actual routine will publish on friday (the videos will be added in as soon as they are edited), also Sunday team avadeanlewis.com will be shooting 2 full workout programs one beginner and one intermediate for females so be on the lookout for those! Every Sunday we will be shooting full workout programs, so every week new videos will be published.

New Workout Program & Seven Lies of Success

Team avadeanlewis.com is going hard in preparation for out October 2nd photo shoot with R.A.W. MultiMedia. Our current workout plan was designed with endurance in mind and it was created before the photo shoot date was set. However it's just what we needed, totally different than what we are used to. Man, does doing 12 sets of a compound movement hurt. Click here to check out our full September workout routine.

Having a support system is one of the most important things in life, no man is an island after-all. So everyday I'm thankful that I was bless with an awesome support system, I have my brothers, family and friends. Not only that we all excel at something that makes up for another's short comings. Together we are an unstoppable force. If you do not have a strong network I suggest you start building one today. I do advise that you be very selective in who gets in your circle, one bad apple will spoil the bunch.

I'll leave you with the seven lies you have to tell yourself to be successful (believe them and your success is guaranteed):
1. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves us.
2. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
3. Whatever happens, take responsibility.
4. It is not necessary to understand everything to be able to use everything.
5. People are your greatest resource.
6. Work is play.
7. There's no abiding success without commitment.

Feels Like Starting Over

2011 seems to be the year for starting over. I've just gotten back to seriously working out after taking a few months off. Man does it suck, my strength is coming back rapidly but it's no fun not being able to lift as much as I used to. I really shouldn't be complaining because it's my own fault why I'm having to start over. I can blame it on life and give a bunch of excuses but at the end of the day I am the one that allowed life to get me down. I am a firm believer in seven times rise and seven times fall, in case you've never heard that saying before it means that no matter how life knocks you down you can always get back up again. Aside from starting over with training, avadeanlewis.com is finally back up and running.

Everything happens for a reason and it serves us. That is my new philosophy when it comes to life and I must say I find it so true. If all the things that has happened to me in life, both good and bad never happened I wouldn't be where I am today. Avadeanlewis.com is growing faster than I could've ever dreamed; on it's way to becoming a premier personal training, health and fitness website. Everything is being rebuilt from scratch, reestablishing my internet presence. Within the next couple days the avadeanlewis.com crew will get back to posting videos, we will be utilizing a new video sharing website called LoranTV. We are expecting big things from LoranTV and things are looking real good. We will still continue to use youtube and the usual video sharing websites as well.

This is definitely the year to make things happen and so we will. Keeping my goals in sight I will go after them. So continue to follow me on life's journey.
Good luck with all your goals and remember the only thing that stands in the way of you and your goals is yourself.
