Defining the--

Phase One: The basic foundational core & baseline pyramid

Simply stated, Boomer Bodybuilding's Sculpting Success System is the accumulation and end result of nearly a half-century of personal training & application, diet & eating experimentation, research and writing in the fitness and nutritional fields.

The emphasis and bottom line of the System is old-fashioned, physical culture-grounded, basic bodybuilding, which I believe--backed up by millions of testimonial trainees and bodies around the globe--is THE most (by far!) efficient and effective of any and all fitness and get-in-shape approaches and programs. Why? Because with sensible, properly applied (easier said than done...) bodybuilding, whether it be weight, apparatus or body resistance (in order of effectiveness), an individual can both burn fat and build muscle while shaping (sculpting) the body to best suit personal needs and desires. You literally have the destiny of your body in your creative hands. No other single exercise entity has the broad ability to shape or re-shape the physique--the human bodily form--with such dramatic results. You can virtually be your own body's artist. And you can image your body on your own canvas. If you look at your body more as an art form--an extension of your forefathers genetics--you will be much more likely to trim the ugly, excess fat--especially abdomen flab that negatively impacts men's health--and contour shapely lean tissue for

a great looking body...and improved health. It's a shame that most men (& women) nowadays will never realize their great genetic potential and honor their bloodline because they just can't shove the junk food away from their mouths (Americans particularly) and get enough (proper) exercise. If we could somehow devise a way to see through the body's layers of fat, bones and muscles--in a reflective and comparative way, density and exacting percentages-wise, shape and contour-wise--people could perhaps visualize the true body they could have with proper application... some people would discover muscular, shapely legs while others would see chiseled arms and chest, while still others would uncover those tight, fat-free (a quick but effective snapshot of inner health) abdominal muscles standing out in bold, six-pack relief. And guys, women absolutely LOVE to run their feminine fingers over those ripples of ab muscles! Everyone--E-V-E-R-Y-B-O-D-Y--is impressed with a six-pack of abs! It IS the defining element of the IN-SHAPE body. Period. Certainly, all of this is a worthy goal, especially as baby boomers age. Kick

it UP boomers!

This System will mentor YOU--no matter who YOU are--in that direction. This System will provide a bountiful blueprint to follow. This System will coach, lead-by-example, motivate, inspire, educate and entertain you in such a way that YOU cannot help but succeed. But your success is dictated by YOU, not some group of self-serving judges at a physique contest (sorry to those judges who would never compromise their integrity), or whether you buy into the absurd drug culture. Together with a precision program of aerobics-oriented activities (like a stint of boxing training), a modified Mediterranean eating plan (more fun, healthy & non-restrictive), and enjoyable health-deriving lifestyle enhancements (changes, improvements), golden-age bodybuilding is the ideal ANSWER for fitness enthusiasts and ALL BABY BOOMERS. I am NOT talking about obsessive-compulsive behavior and competitive bodybuilding as it exists today, like the stuff you may have seen on TV or in muscle magazines. Rather, and I guess I can't beat this drum enough, our approach and System utilizes the best and most positive

of what bodybuilding originally intended...to develop a nice or even great body while building greater strength & health...without extremism, competition (although we guardedly support Natural competition, if it can be believed... minus any politics!) or growth-enhancing drugs.

Boomer Bodybuilding's Sculpting Success System utilizes time-tested bodybuilding including the most up-to-date (and selective) techniques and strategies as the nucleus of its fitness approach, freeze-framing the arty-sport (my coined verbiage) in the golden era of what was more referred to as physical culture...that period between the roaring 20s and the late fifties. We draw a line in the proverbial Muscle Beach sand around 1960, when drugs drew their initial, collective attention and dug their poisoned fangs into bodybuilding and our national-and international--conscience. Our System's standards are based in ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, and Greco-Roman physique ideals. Modern day embodiment examples include bodybuilding champions John Grimek, Steve Reeves, Vince Gironda, Alan Stephen, Reg Lewis, George Eiferman, Roland Essmaker and last but certainly NOT least Irv "Zabo" Koszewski. Most of these champions I have known and met--and learned much from--in various capacities. Much of what I have learned elsewhere has been greatly influenced by these invaluable personal interactions. I will always honor them for it. Today's scientific studies can be very revealing and definitely have their place in bodybuilding and fitness, but isn't it interesting that much of what comes out by the lab coats simply confirms what the above champions--and all serious lifters--already knew. It's just amazing that it took all these years and academic and public attention to bring it to the forefront. What I resent is how so many of these so-called experts--especially the ones who have the strength and bodies of... wannabe wimps--lay claims to "new discoveries" & "proven approaches and applications." In other words, bodybuilding has held the keys to greater health, strength, weight-control, fat-loss, body shaping and re-composition...than anything...and far before practically anything else. Any baby boomer trainee with years under his weight belt--worth his Epsom salt-- knows this to be true. All these new-age weight-loss discoveries, get-in-shape schemes, body makeovers are ALL

in some way--if not entirely--based on physical culture, golden-age bodybuilding regimens & pioneers. This is not to suggest that there are not valid findings and confirmations made nowadays regarding fitness & health matters, especially as it relates to muscle building and fat burning, but basic bodybuilding as previously defined and as practiced in our System laid an incredible groundwork of what has come to be proven long before personal trainers, ten-thousand certifications & governing bodies, fancy cutting-edge supplements (some just pure crap, with false, unproven claims using obscure research and studies) and just as many "experts" who "uncover" fancy, newfangled approaches, usually just flipped over sunny side up, offer to an awaiting flock of diet do-gooders and workout-less warriors. There are however, a fair amount of quality presenters that are A-1. My System (and me, its originator) are just another addition to that A-list.

I've actually had my System devised since 1980. But procrastination (which I cover with some profound points in my System ) enveloped my being and took me hostage...until I finally got my head out of my ass-ets in late 2003, early '04 and produced it. The only difference between what I've done myself--and what I've been taught by legitimate experts--over these many years, and this Sculpting Success System is I formalized and systemized everything I knew, most of it springing from my own failures and successes, The essence of my System is based around (literally) what I refer to as Rotating Routines for exercise and eating. The beauty of this System is both in its simplicity and its diversity (what a combo!). After proper, priority self-evaluation, you simply plug yourself into a desired stage and follow designated steps and sequential strategies to the next stage, which are loosely set in time-frames. You then play a roulette game of rotation, utilizing countless tips, tweaks and turns to eventually accomplish your goals. This System is absolutely perfect for any participant level and uniquely introduces so much variety and interest that one cannot fail but to succeed.

_______________________________________________________

BB's Sculpting Success System purposely and thoughtfully uses many catch phrases and words to tickler the memory and engage the user. Virtually everything in the System is creatively tied to the Egyptian Pyramids, Greek history and culture, intertwined with present day bodybuilding, fitness--in all its facets--and health. I use many analogies and anecdotal references to highlight interest and peak participant's motivation. It is a thinking man's System--I respect your intelligence--for a reason and that reason is the proven theory of mind-body influence and engagement. Also, by creatively entertaining you I hope to heighten your emergence and enthusiasm. To that end, for example, I use three (3) reps as a descriptive reference point to underscore the entire System: The 3's, R's, E's, P's, & S's have multiple declarative meanings, making things easy to remember and refer to. While interesting, it is uncomplicated and clear.

Remember, it's a K-I-S-S (Keep it Simple System) with 3 R-E-P-S. But there is much more. And it is also designed to make it fun. Because without much fun, fitness is a flop. Even mega-money-man Donald Trump in his latest bestseller, "How To Get Rich", says you first must LOVE what you are doing if you hope to succeed. And he claims if you do not have that LOVE then you should CHANGE until you find that rainbow and that LOVE. Trump says find that and find success. When it comes to claiming your body masterpiece, in its own way worth as much--or more--as one of Trump's heralded super structures, this System will assist you find your love(s) and build your own super structure. One of the most important keys is that change, that experimentation, that exploration.

And systematic change--qualitatively--is exactly what this System is all about. No matter what your love--or if you even know it--when it comes to working out and diet...will be revealed. I even have a simple rating system (and much more elaborate

one in the complete program) so you will know exactly where you stand, what to do next...and when. This System will give you the freedom to claim your rightful body and unveil your body masterpiece, at whatever level YOU choose: Clothes-Fit, Tone-Fit, or Body-Fit. From trimming ab fat (the boomer's demon) off to building muscles for shape, this System will benefit beginners, intermediates and advanced trainees alike. The System has something for everybody. It's time-tested techniques combined with modern and modified methods were painstakingly formulated for ease and individual application. And R-E-S-U-L-T-S (one of the R's in 3 Reps).

Sculpting Success System's ROTATING ROUTINES will provide you with a varied and well thought out roadmap to results. It will direct you to shift into higher--or lower--gears and when you hit upon those sweet spots that spell success and the fast-track stream of progress you can lock into autopilot. Although the System is designed to be highly regulated for maximum benefit, even in the lowest, kick-back modes, everything is quite simple when you know how. Another positive aspect of the System is its organization. No stone is not overturned and examined. The structured System encourages its user to incorporate the overall approach into their own aspirations and goals, at different levels of application. Despite the tremendous variance in options upon options, you will soon be using the System the way you love it, and best see results, like second nature. You'll adopt this System and the Rotating Routines for exercise and eating as your own. And I'll be right there with you all the way...if you take the System in its entirety.

While this System is designed to be a process (not a quick fix), it will guide you to burn fat, build muscle, prevent injuries, get fit, get stronger and healthier in the shortest possible (realistic!) time. As a process, you will simply follow stages, steps and strategies to attain the level of achievement that Y-O-U deem successful. And you can always change and rotate, based upon anything you want, dictated by anything driving your circumstances and life. See, with this System you don't fight yourself like so many of us do...you improvise, as the U.S. Marine Corps would say, as long as you follow some plan and continually move

Certainly not covering all the bases in such an in-depth, thorough program as this System's. And to think I first got wind of it from the great John Grimek in letter form way back when I was a young teenager. Pretty good source for building a body pyramid, wouldn't you agree?

Important note: While this System is all about change and rotation to the betterment of exercise and diet, it definitely does not bounce needlessly around--without reason, no matter how small or large--like some rubber ball in a handball court. But make no mistake, this System's variety does provide a foolproof formula and continuous stimulus to stave off boredom and encourage ongoing results (which are defined with a unique twist). And as mentioned, you will have many, many options. Options not only help to overcome obstacles but help keep things fresh and sparks enthusiasm for a continual, measurable level of progress. With the options inherent within SSS's Rotating Routines you will also experience these benefits: 1.) Maximum flexibility 2.) More convenience 3.) Greater control.

YOU CAN MAKE SCULPTING SUCCESS SYSTEM'S ROTATING ROUTINES WORK FOR YOU.

Boomer bodybuilding does not follow trends. We set them. Thusly, a number of unique slants and innovative concepts are set forth with this System. And I truly believe that no one can show you the path to greater health and strength and the proverbial body masterpiece, like I can.

THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ALL BABY BOOMERS

This Sculpting Success System and its underlying premise of progressive resistance exercise--weight, apparatus and body--is the ultimate answer for all your fitness needs. With its Rotating Routines for exercise and eating you can pick and choose and plug in so many different combos that you should never be stagnant again. Think of the benefit and the long term positives of that. Your excuses and quotient of dull, lackluster routines will never be the same. The variety and options will keep you fresh and motivated, always knowing that a potential program rotation is just around the corner, heightening the love for what you are doing that much more.

Golden-age bodybuilding and its real-world techniques, combined with aerobic-oriented exercise and activities, will build UP useable, strong muscle for shape, and burn UP unsightly fat and fat stores for better appearance and health, starting the process from day one. No empty ivory tower lab theory here. Just time-tested, realistic results that anyone can use. Studies have shown recently however, that oldsters (baby boomers close to that edge) can build muscle and bone mass nearly

as easily as their younger counterparts. Remember: No matter what your persuasion on bodybuilding per se (just strip away the competitive negatives), muscle is the only element of your body which you can actually and positively shape. Muscle provides form and substance and the human clay you need to build a body masterpiece, a shapely physique. You cannot say the same for fat. It has no real ability to maintain appealing shape or artistic form. You can't shape fat but you can certainly lose it, or gain it. Muscle--the gold standard of bodybuilding and this System--is the arch enemy of fat, on the opposite end of the body balance spectrum... the more muscle you add to your body the more the fat furnace is stoked up, burning the ugly, excess stuff 24/7. While a healthy amount of body fat is necessary for bodily function and protection, it is usually the primary culprit in the battle of the bulge and the boomer's fight to maintain fit-shape. And as boomers age they continue to erode the muscle percentage in their bodies, contributing to their weaker and body-challenged state. Not just any old exercise program will build lean muscle, either. Nothing beats--or even equals--resistance exercise for balancing the muscle-fat ratios for

optimum appearance and health.

Don't forget: This System is not about overdoing it and taking it to the extremes. It's not about competition. And it's not about becoming muscle-bound (overstated worry). It's about taking advantage of the pioneering, positive paths established by bodybuilding and the trendsetting it cut towards the fitness explosion enjoyed today. Bodybuilding--especially when it comes to cosmetic applications, weight control, fat loss, muscle addition, and the like--has always been light years ahead of any and all other fitness concepts. Case closed.

Here's a novel idea for ALL BABY BOOMERS: Instead of just losing bodyweight, getting in some shape with non-resistant exercises, and striving for the hit-and-miss diet and fitness programs, why not act as your own body's sculptor and build your version of a body masterpiece? You don't have to take it to the higher level if you don't want to and unveil it formally to anyone...you can just keep your masterpiece to yourself. But consider the incentives, for your appearance and your health, no matter what level you choose...Clothes-Fit, Tone-Fit or Body-Fit. You can't lose (except fat & weak body) no matter what! Moreover, if you look at your body more as a human art piece than just a mere form that you (abuse) and occupy, you will be more inclined to get in better shape...and stay there. With this System you can make it fun, accept building your masterpiece as a challenge, and strive for continual and positive improvement, defined by your perceptions, not mine or anyone else's.

With the extreme problem nowadays with the younger generations and obesity and ill health, just think of the impact and positive example you could set for your children and grandchildren by getting in great shape, and reflecting robust health? These generations are in serious risk for their futures.

Here's something for your scrapbook. Read carefully. Consider how YOU getting in great shape can positively affect your whole family...forever. The positive ramifications! And how YOU getting in shape--and wearing the proof everywhere--can leave a lasting impression...a lasting legacy. Why just peeling off fat from your flab-pack and turning it into some semblance of a six-pack would not only do your health and insides a world of good, but would make you look so much better. Just that! That could be your masterpiece. For boomer men there's a direct correlation between that bulging, hanging, pregnant-like gut (you know, the one that so many men hide with large, outside-the-pants shirts), and a host of major health-related problems. Rotating Routines for exercise and eating would be just the fitness prescription for that problem area. Other than bringing out more of a V-shape of the upper body, losing belly fat and ab concentration is our specialty.

If you have never lifted weights or done resistance exercise before, and bodybuilding has kind of seemed like some mutated disease that you must avoid, I'm asking you to change your mind and start...to rotate to my System. If you have lifted for some time but feel there's more of your best to come out, try this System. Even if you are a seasoned bodybuilder with aspirations not yet fully realized, try a rotation to this System. The options, variety and tracking processes of this System will diversify and heighten your continued enthusiasm. And you know what that means. I'm asking you all to rotate to more fun in your quest for body fitness and overall health. Sprint (in measured, confident strides) to this System, and pan for the gold that is muscle (increased metabolism), the armor you can add to your body for physical perfection (perfection as in continual refinement and shape--not as in competition).

This Phase I of the Sculpting Success System establishes the core and foundation of the overall concept and introduces you to the Rotating Routines principles. It does so in a very simple and concise guide, relatively short in length but long in content and value. It is the perfect prelude to the entire System which continues with Phases II & III. But make no mistake, this introductory phase has all the basic info you need and will stand on its own indefinitely. As you will see on the next ordering page, the entire Phase I price, reasonable as it is, will be totally credited toward the complete System price. So, in a real sense, if you go on to purchase the whole package down the road, this Phase I is virtually FREE. It is a way in which to get you started, committed and rewarded for your initial efforts. And if you feel you don't want to go on with Phase II & III then your initial monetary outlay is limited to this introductory Phase, which will always serve you well. It's designed this way for YOUR benefit, value first.

With this System you--like me--will be carving your body out of living, breathing marble, much like Michelangelo brought his sculptures to life out of one solid piece of pure Carrara marble, I want to do the same with our personal and business relationship. I want this Phase I to be just the start of an ongoing, mutually beneficial interaction that will impact your physique,
