3. Regrets…

My life has changed drastically in the last few years with all of the above paling in comparison to the biggest change.

But to explain what I’m talking about let’s start back even further…

After college my obsession with strength training and fitness was growing at an astronomical rate. So much so that it really cut into my social life. There was a few year period where I barely went out and only drank a handful of times each year. That’s because I was too busy studying, training people and training myself. Plus, as a skinny punk who was trying to gain fifty pounds I really didn’t need the late nights and booze. I was dedicated to achieving my goal and wasn’t going to let anything stand in my way.

A few years later I had gained the fifty pounds I was after and decided it was time to start having some fun again. I realized that I could be letting some of the most fun times of my life slip by, so I started partying pretty hard. I’m an all or nothing kinda guy so it goes from one extreme to the other with me.

By the time I hit thirty I was working my ass off at the gym every day for 10-12 hours, seeing 50-70 clients regularly, training my balls off and partying like a rock star on weekends… and Tuesdays… and Thursdays. Eating healthy was always a secondary concern to eating for size, strength and performance. Which, knowing what I know now, makes no sense, but that’s where my head was at throughout my twenties. And just because of my rebellious nature, if every other fitness expert was recommending a protein shake followed by chicken, broccoli and brown rice after a workout I was going to eat a pizza, drink a Gatorade and follow it up with a few beers.

During the summers I would actually pride myself on being able to drink a dozen Red Bull and vodkas at a bar down the shore on a Thursday night, sleep no more than four or five hours and still be able to compete with and beat a lot of our college and pro guys on strongman days every Friday if there were uneven numbers and I had to jump in to even the teams out.

I got up early, worked late, lifted heavy, ate big, drank three or four times a week and chased girls every single night. I was the biggest and strongest I ever was, single and loving every minute of it.

But eventually that life gets old.

And you grow up.

And you realize how important your health is.

So I slowed my roll and found myself with a renewed interest in nutrition and true healthy living. I thought long and hard about moving to Southern Cali since I had been wanting to live there for at least the previous ten years. It seemed like a great place to be to eat and live a truly healthy lifestyle.

Although chasing girls was starting to get old I figured life on the West Coast might renew my passion for it. I always told myself I’d never get married, but by thirty three I softened up to the idea that maybe I would, but definitely not until I was at least forty.

Then one day I got the bright idea to meet up with this girl for a drink. A friend told me I had a ton in common with her and since the bar scene was getting old maybe I would actually like this chick and wanna settle down.

“No chance,” I said. I put it off for a few weeks but then one night, for some odd reason, I decided to give it a shot.

So I met this girl named Jen at a local restaurant on a Thursday to grab a drink and chat. I already had my escape plan in action and told my friend to text me exactly an hour into it so I can say there’s an emergency and I have to go. We started talking and a few hours later I realized that we had a ton in common. For me to be interested in a girl they have to be very open minded and obsessed with training, nutrition, sports and music. A thorough knowledge of old school hip hop and a love for Pearl Jam is also a major plus. Since I figured that girl didn’t exist I accepted the fact that I would be single for a very, very long time.

But this one… There was something different about her.

For the first time in a long time I found myself thinking, “I may actually like this girl.” Without even thinking I invited her to come into Brooklyn with a bunch of my friends on Saturday night to see a concert and she accepted.

That night in Brooklyn she hung out with six of my male friends and was totally cool. You take me out for the night with six girls I don’t know and I’ll be miiiiiiiserable. But she wasn’t. She was just like one of the guys. That was a big plus. And while we were hanging out before the show on my friends rooftop, she knew every song on my iPod. That was a HUGE plus.

Since I was kinda feelin this chick we hung out again on Sunday to watch the Giants game. At one point, during a commercial, she grabbed the TV remote.

“And just like that the potential relationship ends,” I though to myself. “Was she just pretending to be really into sports? Is the fact that she knows the name of every single member of the Giants and more about baseball than any male I know just some well rehearsed ploy to attract guys,” I wondered.

“She’s gonna put on Sex & the City or some bullshit like that, isn’t she? How could you be fooled so easily,” I asked myself.

So I immediately questioned her in a somewhat aggravated tone, “Uh… what are you doing?”

She said, “Oh, I just wanted to check the score of the Yankees game.”

I instantly got up off the couch, dropped down on one knee and proposed.

Well, not really.

But three years later, after I realized that I’d found the best girl in the world and that my life couldn’t be any better, I did.

And so the day I never thought I’d see finally came.

I got engaged.

What a difference a few years makes, huh?

Instead of going out boozing, partying and eating junk food I now stay home, cook healthy, organic food every night of the week (well, Jen does, I kinda just mosey around the kitchen pretending I’m helping), get to bed long before midnight and am far more productive on a daily basis. Having someone to share the healthy/fitness lifestyle with definitely makes things a lot easier and helps you stay on track. We keep each other motivated and focused and train together on a frequent basis.  My good friend, Craig Ballantyne always talks about the importance of social support when you’re trying to achieve something, and it doesn’t get any better than having it right in the same house next to you at all times. 

I think a lot more people would be able to get a lot closer to their goals if their significant others were on the same page and you made the whole thing more of a team effort. It’s definitely hard to eat and live healthy if the person you spend most of your time with is always eating chicken wings and Ho Ho’s or wants to go out dancing every night.

A long time ago, one of my early mentors in the Iron Game told me never to get in a relationship with a girl who wasn’t 100% into fitness and who wasn’t willing to accept and live the lifestyle. And he was right. Any relationship I was in that broke that rule never worked out.

So Big Tony’s advice to me is my piece of advice to you for the day.

Now I just gotta go figure out some way to string this engagement out another four years til I hit forty

PS. The pics above are from a recent shoot Jen did with NYC photographer, Jay Sullivan. I think they came out great but would love to hear what you guys think. Drop a comment and let me and Jen know.

Thanks, guys.

We hit North Street and Oak Street Beaches, where strangely you are only allowed to swim out til the waters at mid chest level and then some guys in row boats stop you. Weird.

We caught a Cubs game at Wrigley on Sunday where I got to see four former Yankees playing (Soriano, Abreu, Matsui, Nady) and actually witnessed a Cubbies blowout victory. An afternoon at Wrigley is a must have experience for any true sports fan.

Then we went up to the top of the Sears Tower (now known as the Willis Tower, unfortunately), ate at some good restaurants (an underrated but great little spot that had fresh, organic food was Big Bowl around Rush & Division), hit some good bars (I especially liked the area around North/Damen) and saw as much of the city as possible on foot. I had to have walked 30 miles if I walked a step this weekend.

Before I left, my buddy, Brad Pilon had mentioned that he was putting the finishing touches on a new system designed to reverse anabolic slow down and that I should be expecting a copy waiting in my inbox when I returned.

Knowing Brad and how thorough he is with his research and how well thought out everything he does always is I was pretty psyched to see what he had cooked up this time.

Every time I read something from him I always have to go back and rethink and reevaluate some of the things I am doing. He is definitely the thinking mans fitness expert.

I just spent the last two hours going through his entire program and am thoroughly impressed. Yet again, I had to stop and think and go back to reread certain things he had written because they were that eye opening and interesting.

Like anyone who has trained for more than 5-10 years I have experienced many of the things he discussed and have been a victim of anabolic slow down myself. As many of you may know from first hand experience, this can be incredibly frustrating. You train hard, month after month and you seem to get nowhere. It’s enough to make you want to put your fist through a wall.

Unfortunately, anabolic slow down is all too common in guys who have trained for more than a few years. However, through a lot of trial and error Brad came up with a plan to halt and even reverse anabolic slow down in advanced lifters.

It’s called Anabolic Again.

The whole thing is extremely cool and looks like an outstanding plan for experienced guys who have been training for a few years and have hit a plateau. This 12 week program is designed to help you break through that and get you back into an anabolic state again.

This program is unlike anything I would have ever come up with on my own, which is why I always continue to learn from guys like Brad and try new things. It definitely looks like something which could provide awesome results for experienced guys who have hit anabolic slow down.

Brad launched this new program while I was away and is offering it at half the normal price until midnight, tonight (Thursday, June 24, 2010).

If you’re bored with your current routine, are experiencing frustrating plateaus or are just looking for something new and exciting to try Anabolic Again just might be the program you’re looking for.

As much as I love getting guys bigger and stronger, when you throw in the element of speed, conditioning and overall improved athleticism I get REALLY excited. That’s my true passion.

If I could only train one type of client it would undoubtedly be football players. Combat athletes would be a close second but football is and always has been my favorite sport. I’ve been a die hard New York Giant’s fan since I was in diapers and I grew up idolizing Walter Payton. You always hear me talking about hill sprints and how they are one of the greatest things you can possibly do. Well, who do you think got me started on hill sprints in the first place? Sweetness, himself.

With football season just around the corner I’ve been getting a ton of email questions lately about training for the gridiron, as I do every year around this time. Since it’s physically impossible for me to answer every single email I get and still have time to work, eat, train and sleep I have done the next best thing…

I buckled down recently and put together the ultimate 12-week summer training program for football. I covered every detail- functional size, strength, speed, power, conditioning, training for the 40, training for the 300 yard shuttle, and more.

==> http://www.RenegadeFootballStrength.com/

With the announcement yesterday that the 2014 Super Bowl is going to be held at Giants Stadium I decided it was the perfect time to put the finishing touches on this program and get it out to you guys.

This is a complete step-by-step blueprint for creating the ultimate bad-ass gridiron warrior.

I realize this is kinda last minute, but even if you don’t have 12 weeks ‘til camp starts you can start implementing this program immediately and start on the appropriate training week. I explain it all in the manual.

This is an absolute must have for coaches, trainers and athletes.

Some of you who don’t play football or train football players may be wondering if this program is for you. Well, if you’re interested in training like an athlete, building real, world functional size and strength along with explosive speed and power this summer, then yes, the program will work for you. It might be fun to do something different for a few months. Even if you choose to skip the running you could still do the strength workouts.

Oh, and one last thing…

Renegade Strength & Conditioning For Football is only available until this Saturday at midnight EST. After that I’m pulling it down ‘til next spring.

Unfortunately, many uneducated people and those in the mainstream will always associate Charlie with Ben Johnson getting popped for steroids at the ’88 Olympics in Seoul. Those in the know understand that every athlete in that race was on performance enhancing drugs and that Ben getting caught took nothing away from Charlie’s skills as a coach. The full story is detailed in Charlie’s book, Speed Trap and Ben Johnson’s side of the story can be heard in the great documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster.

Charlie was, in my opinion, the greatest speed coach that ever lived and was a huge influence on people like myself, Joe DeFranco, James Smith of Pitt, Sal Alosi of the New York Jets, and countless other coaches. If you know how to get athletes faster you most likely have Charlie to thank for that. If you don’t you should have been studying his methods. I owe much of my success to Charlie’s teachings and thank him for the profound impact he had on my career.

This is a great loss for the strength and conditioning world and he will be missed. Although he is gone, his teachings will live on forever.

Thanks, Charlie.

Rest in peace.

The big man knows his stuff when it comes to getting bigger and stronger and I always love discussing training with him and listening to what he has to say. He is a wealth of information who truly walks the walk.

BUT…

He called me out to battle.

Kind of like old school rappers used to do back in the day.

Like LL vs. Kool Moe Dee.

MC Shan vs. KRS One.

Nas vs. Jay Z…

Only, instead of spitting rhymes we’re gonna go back and forth dropping knowledge about the development of maximal size, strength and power.

As much as I like and respect Big E, a challenge is a challenge and I need to lay the smack down on his candy ass and let him know what’s up.

So be sure to join us live this tonight for the rumble by clicking HERE and registering for one of the remaining spots.

Unless you’re squeamish, that is.

Cuz it could get bloody.

Talk to you then.

PS. The pic above from is the last time I served Elliot in a battle. We both had longer hair and weighed a lot less back then, so things could turn out differently this time… Register HERE to find out.

That’s information that I shouldn’t know. But over the last 48 hours I heard one of his songs and saw a picture of him for the first time.

And I regret this unfortunate development. I feel as though my manhood status has been taken down a notch. Which I really can’t afford.

While looking at my shabby excuse for a goatee I regretted never trying the idea I had a few years back of using Rogaine on my face. A 35 year old man should be able to grow a beard. In fact, I don’t even think you can be called a man if you can’t grow a beard. And sporting one should be mandatory. To have that ability and not capitalize on it is just spitting in the eye of fair faced punks like me.

I also regret not returning Jessica Biel’s text message when she and Jessica Alba invited me over to play poker not too long ago. I was busy setting a new high score in Wii Bowling and I figured they could wait. Probably a mistake in retrospect.

So, as you see, I woke up with several regrets this morning. Which is why I want to save you from the same fate come tomorrow morning.

At midnight tonight, the sale price on Triple Threat Muscle disappears forever. Gonzo Gabore. At that point the price will be going up to $77 and staying there.

There are less than 12 hours left to grab your copy at the introductory launch sale rate.

And I promise you it’s a killer program. I worked on it for the last few years and have gotten great results with quite a few people using this system. Rave reviews are pouring in from the hundreds of people who have picked up their copy this week.

One user reported gaining 236 pounds after only two workouts.

Another said he actually jumped over the backboard while playing pick up basketball last night.

And my favorite Triple Threat success story so far comes from the guy that who looked so good after only one week on the program that he was signed by a modeling agency where he met Brooklyn Decker on a shoot and stole her away from that chump Andy Roddick.

Now I can’t validate these stories or say that such results are typical But it is a damn fine muscle and strength building program and I know you guys are gonna love it.

Hope to chat with you in the Renegade Inner Circle soon.

Go to http://www.TripleThreatMuscle.com/ before the clock strikes midnight and the sale price disappears for good.

Missing out on this limited time offer will be like a beer goggles influenced decision at the bar; you’ll regret it in the
morning.

And there may be some burning when you pee…

3. How I Gained 34 Pounds in 9 Weeks

I went into the hospital weighing 227 pounds and after a few months of being laid up and unable to train I was down to 179!!! This was devastating to say the least. Friends were horrified by the site of me and thought there was something wrong with me.

Which, come to think of it, is no different than the reaction they have every time they see me, no matter what I weigh.

Because of my extreme hardgainer genetics I lose size quicker than anyone I’ve ever met. And if I didn’t know exactly how to train, eat and recover properly it would take me forever to build muscle.

Being that small, weak and skinny was very depressing. I had worked my whole life to get away from that look and that feeling. During my rehab I hated to even leave the house because I didn’t want people to see me. For the first time in my adult life my self confidence was waning and I was genuinely embarrassed by the way I looked.

I knew that as soon as I rehabbed my shoulder I had to gain muscle back as fast as humanly possible. I couldn’t stand the humiliation anymore.

But, like most of you, I didn’t have the luxury of being able to spend countless hours in the gym and, at 35, I don’t have the same recovery ability of a Division I college athlete.

Luckily I had been experimenting with a new system on hundreds of clients and coaching group members of mine for the last two years. After thousands of hours or trial and error we had perfected the system and had created a way to build muscle, strength and explosive power simultaneously in average guys like you and me.

So when I got healthy I knew that this system was just what I needed to pack size back on as fast as possible. In just 9 weeks I was able to go from 179 to 213.

Unfortunately, my stupidity reared its ugly head again at 213 and I tweaked my shoulder. This minor injury put me on the shelf again for a few weeks. But I got back in the gym again yesterday and am ready to get back after it, full steam ahead.

By following this system I will be up to 230 pounds in May. Hopefully then my head won’t look like it’s too big for my body anymore

So what is this new system?

It’s called Triple Threat Muscle.

I can’t wait for you to try it and hear about your awesome results.

Check it out now at http://www.TripleThreatMuscle.com/

Thanks guys.

Have an awesome week.

Jay

3. How to Lose 20 Pounds Really, Really Fast

The reason will become clear this Monday when, after two years of hard work, trial and error and endless experimentation, I finally release Triple Threat Muscle. I haven’t come out with anything new since I released Muscle Gaining Secrets a few years back because I didn’t have anything this exciting to share.

Two years ago I decided to start experimenting on a large number of my clients and coaching group members. I wanted to see if I could create an athletic based muscle building system and help average guys get the same kind of results elite athletes get from their training. The only difference is the average guy doesn’t have the genetics, recovery ability or schedule of a professional athlete. But they all want to look like them.

So I took it upon myself to create the ultimate system that would help Average Joe’s and weekend warriors get a little bit closer to looking and performing like Reggie Bush or Georges St. Pierre.

I know how to help skinny guys get jacked. That’s old hat to me. I can do it in my sleep. As long as someone listens and does what I say they will pack on size.

But Triple Threat Muscle is a little different. Not only is the program focused on size gains, but also the development of explosive power and unrelenting endurance. So you get the jacked, muscular physique and the athleticism to go with it.

I get questions all the time asking, “What should I do after I finish the Muscle Gaining Secrets program?” Well, the answer has finally arrived. If you’ve finished MGS and want to keep growing bigger and stronger, Triple Threat Muscle will be just the program for you.

If you haven’t done MGS and aren’t a beginner or a hardgainer, then Triple Threat Muscle will be an awesome system for you to use.

The results we have gotten with this program have been incredible and I can’t wait for you all to experience them this coming Monday.

Thanks for the continued support,
Jason Ferruggia
