Bulldog Transformation – Chest/Arms

by  • December 23, 2011 • 55 Comments

Rob has committed himself diligently to face this challenge head on, pushing his physique, mind and soul to the utmost limits.  It’s a huge burden to bear, especially during these times when most have forfeited past year resolutions.

No one ever said this would be easy.

To those of you who have stuck to the gameplan and sacrificed along the way, TLR salutes you.  To those of you who have offered support to those who need it most whether it’s in or out of the gym, TLR salutes you.  To those of you out there who need that extra push/drive just remember, sometimes all it takes is that single spark and the rest will fall into place.

Happy Holidays TLR

 

Rob Transformation • Behind Closed Doors, Progress Check w/Todd Swinney

by  • December 11, 2011 • 18 Comments

No matter who you are, what your background is, whether you are a 400 lb hulk or a 90-lb warrior adjusting to your new wheelchair.

Whether you have lost a job or a loved one, been cheated on, held back, turned back, abandoned, misunderstood; or whether you are the guy who has it all except for a physique he’s proud of, or you have a pit of emptiness inside that needs filling, we are brothers of iron, all.

If you’re out there grinding away on your own, maybe at the local gym, or maybe at home, sometimes it gets rough on your own.

That’s why I’m glad I can give you front row seats to see what it’s like being monitored by a pro-level nutritional expert. Bulldog Rob is putting in the effort, and Todd Swinney, one-man-fitness-factory, is doing what he does best – shooting straight and fast.

Listen carefully – Todd covers a lot of ground in this short video. This is Grade A fitness advice, Made in USA, Levrone-approved. You can take it to the bank and apply it to your own goals, courtesy of TLR.

So far Rob has triumphed with eight pounds of lean body mass, lost a couple pounds of fat. He has been full blown and in the zone, no wavering, no turning back. Getting plenty of rest, and like a NASA astronaut, he’s followed advice from mission control to the letter.

He has paid his dues, and as you can see in this video, he’s enjoying the fruits of his labors so far. His physique does the talking. So will yours.

It’s that simple guys. On Battlefield Body, the spoils go to the bold and the brave, and the gut never lies.

When it comes to calories, protein and carbs, Swinney’s on the case. Listen closely as he packs this meeting with valuable truth about the theory of nutrition.

We’re honored to have both Rob and T. Swinney donating their time and energy to the TLR mission of spreading inspiration, information and wisdom, free of charge, around the world. If it makes you stand a little straighter today; if it makes you try a little harder, and sharpens up that vision in your head of what you dare to achieve, we have succeeded. The rest is up to you.

Peace,

Kevin

Bulldog Transformation • Full-Blown Compound Mass Building

by  • December 1, 2011 • 40 Comments

Hard core strength and mass training here at Gold’s Gym in Owings Mills, Maryland. Bulldog Rob in the house. 4 sets of 4 reps, 320 lbs on the bench.

It takes full blown focus, visualization and belief in yourself to attack this kind of weight, and Rob’s charging forward in his very own “strive for 405,” for one rep. TLR veterans here will recognize that phrase. Today Bulldog was victorious with 320 lbs.

These massive compound exercises are turning Bulldog into a monster from the inside out. The squats and deads actually help the bench, too – it all fits together.

When compound mass achievements create a solid champion scaffolding, Bulldog (and you following along) can really start to chisel and pack on insane muscle.

But today it’s about insane focus. Rob’s dead lifts at the end of this video are some of the most insane reps ever shown on TLR. He’s discovering that deep reservoir of strength and power. If you dare attempt this kind of audacity in the gym, be careful and train with a professional.

What’s the secret to success? It’s not magic. It’s not a secret. It’s simply the act of getting in a zone and moving forward. With bodybuilding, when you start to see results, the effort you continue to put in is self-perpetuating.

The more results you see, the more you can’t wait to feel the steel. So whatever you do in life, get over the hump of adversity, gut it out, and give yourself a chance to taste the fruits of your labors; the rest will take care of itself.

Peace,

Kevin
