“Hi Russ, my name is Matt and I am a fellow ISSA fitness trainer. I have Matt Hayes “Hi Russ…I’ve read your articles and your training journal and I’m very interested in what you went through. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your accomplishments. My name is Daniel Lim and I currently live in Santa Clara California . I’m serious about training but I’m having a hard time making real progress. Is putting on muscle and shedding fat something I should do simultaneously or should I take one goal at a time? I would like to hear from you. I just checked out your website and it’s great. Hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely” Daniel Lim “Wow, I commend you on your outstanding website as well as your many accomplishments. Your before and after picture is definitely unbelievable. In addition, it looks as if you can hoop as well. Thank you so much for your time and information! Latressie Diallo “Wow Russ, thank you so much for all of your help. I send out a lot of Brian “Russ…This is Anthony from LA Fitness. I haven’t seen you at the gym in the morning, so I just thought I’d drop you a note. Your site is pretty cool . . . plenty of great resources. When time & money permit I would really like to discuss the consultations you offer. Talk to you soon. Sincerely…Anthony” Anthony Morsella “Hey Russ I am a huge fan of your web site, I read your journal daily and I Jose Vidal “I have to tell you about my success so far. I made an appointment to have Lori Leonard “Hey Russ. Thanks for the quick reply. Most guys who write articles and stuff that I email never send me anything back. Thanks for that! My name is Peter. I've read all of your articles for your competition. I'm starting Max-OT next Monday. I'm currently bulking. I'm up to 163lbs at 9.6%bodyfat. I'm only 5'9" so I'm filling out well. I'm planning on bulking till January and then cutting up till May so a 16 week cut. I'm hoping you use your training log to help me in my quest. Thanks so much for all the posting of everything. It really helps! Great job!” Peter Fitschen “Wow you look great...Just been reading through your site, and its great....I'm tall too. I would love to have the lean cut look that you have. I’m about to start using the Max-OT program you have used, so will begin participation in your message board....I'm not trying to be a bodybuilder, I just favor the lean cut look that's not too overly muscular or bulky. I greatly appreciate all of your advice and information. God Bless!! You're an inspiration to all tall men!!” Richard Hale “Wow. You are such an inspiration, do you know that? You are incredible. It’s nice to get advice from someone who really knows what they are talking about. I am quite impressed with your website, and you seem like a very dedicated person who is genuine about your career. Also, thank you for that email! I will for sure soak in everything you said and do my best to pursue this goal. Thanks a bunch!” Leslie Smith “Hey Russ…I came across your site and it looks great! We have something in common as I was the 18-30 runner-up in the AST 2001 Contest. While doing that contest I also decided to compete in my first bodybuilding contest here in Newfoundland and Labrador , Canada . It was all such an awesome experience! I run a website and was looking on changing things up a bit and really like the simple clean look of your site. I would really like to change mine to something similar to yours. I would greatly appreciate your help. Keep up the good work!” Sean Barker “I have been watching your site grow for a while. It looks great! Very cool to see the gains that you have made. I have lost about 25 lbs in the past year. Feel much better. I don't care how much I weigh, but I am just trying to cut up and still gain lean mass. My weight loss was really unintentional. For the most part I just started eating better and not drinking as much. I don't have aspirations of bodybuilding. I just want to be healthy, feel good and look good. I am very busy with my lifestyle so I need to be efficient in the gym. This is one of the things I like best about your training approach. You don’t have to spend hours in the gym each day! Anyway, I just wanted to contact you and let you know that your site is inspiring. Keep up the good work.” Shawn Hall “Dear Russ…You did a fantastic job of keeping us informed, about your goals and accomplishments during your documentation of your contest preparation. I understand that winning is part of the adventure, but you achieved some dramatic results. The personal touch related through your articles put a very human perspective on your training and it is appreciated by your web public. Some people talk the talk...it's great to see someone walking the walk with the ability to relate it to the rest of us. Your time and hard work surely will place you in a position to continue your journey. I applaud your frank assessment of the contest outcome. I am motivated by your honesty and your documented efforts. Continued good luck on your dreams.” Tom Haggerty ”Hey Russ. I just visited your site for the first time and you are doing an awesome job! Keep up the good work! I'm currently 22 years old and live in Topeka , Kansas . I'm getting ready for my first show in July of next year in Boulder , Colorado . I have been diving into the AST website daily trying to keep up on the all of the information. I wish we lived closer to one another because I would love to have a training partner that is devoted into fitness and the Max-OT philosophy that we could help each other make awesome gains. If we can't train together I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me and be my coach for my up and coming show? Maybe if you are not busy in July you can come to my show and be in my corner but if not maybe one of these days we can get together and train. Thanks again for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. Take care.” Mike Jolly ” I love the website!! I have been following along with your website and Journal every day and believe me it is a huge inspiration. Your website provides inspiration to me and a lot of other Bodybuilders out there who were searching for inspiration or direction and I think that you provided that for all of us. Thank you for that.” Matt Vinopal “Training is going great. The program you sent me is awesome and I've Jay Bonaretti
