Brandon Cook’s Body Transformation
NOTE: SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE MOST CURRENT WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORT
This is the place where I will give you an inside look into my training, nutrition, and daily life as I embark upon a journey to evolve myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. In simpler terms… I am going to train my ASS OFF!
The intention of my training regimen is to:
• Strengthen and transform my body through intense weight training, combat conditioning drills, and quality nutrition.
• Awaken and enlighten my mind by continually learning through books, blogs, DVD’s, seminars and real world experience.
• Cultivate the power of my spirit/Ki through Tai Chi, Zen Meditation, and martial arts training.
I will be documenting the entire training process here on this page. As a naturally skinny ectomorph, it’s my desire and full intent to make an amazing and inspiring hardgainer transformation.
If you’d like to know more about what led up to this transformation please read: A Window Into My Past, Reflections of the Present Moment, and A Gateway Into the Future.
My official start date was November 30th, 2009 and will cover the next six/seven months through the end of May/June 2010. I will extend the time if need be.
As I go through the process I will tell you what I’m doing and lay out the program. I plan on posting daily updates (minus the weekends) that focus on my training, nutrition, and daily activities. The daily updates will also open with a Thought of the Day and a featured article by one of the physique coaches on the website.
In addition, I will be providing weekly progress updates that include pictures, charts, and measurements to detail the progress being made from week to week.

Let the Journey….. BEGIN!

CHANGE OF PLANS………..
Okay guys, I’m getting a little burned out on the daily updates and it’s taking up a lot of my time to post daily. I think I’ve provided enough daily updates to give you an idea of how to get started and structure your diet. It will be an individual task for everybody, but I hope this helps share some insights into the matter.
That being said, I am still working out and still going strong. I’m only cutting out the daily updates so I can work on revising the Way to Mass e-Class and so that I can revamp the blog and relaunch it soon. These were the major factors for cutting out the daily updates.
I will continue to do weekly updates and progress reports until I achieve my goals.

Start of Triple Threat Muscle Program
I know this was supposed to be a 6 month transformation, but I feel like I need to extend it. I still haven’t reached my goal and WILL NOT stop until I reach it. Whether that takes another month or two, six months or two years… makes no difference to me. However, I feel like I’m close… REALLY CLOSE… to having a major breakthrough. Never give in, never give up… it’s persistence that seperates the strong from the weak.
