By On February 17, 2010 No Comments

Westy, Roman & E-man

roman

Yesterday we sent an email out about Roman’s Final Phase Fat Loss program and got bombarded with questions.

The best way to get them all answered was to get John “Roman” Romaniello on the phone for an exclusive interview.

Roman is a true Hybrid Warrior.  How can we say that?

Nick Nilsson Interviews Mike Westerdal About Lean Hybrid Muscle Building

Nick Nilsson Interviews Mike Westerdal About Lean Hybrid Muscle Building

NN: Hey Mike, thanks for taking the time to talk with me. I heard your boss over at Critical Bench sent you on an extended vacation for stirring up all this controversy lately.

MW: Ya my boss is a real jerk. No, I’m just kidding, I’m my own boss. Most people don’t even know that’s my site. I’m kind of coming out from behind the curtain so to speak to share some workouts I’ve been experimenting with lately.

NN: What exactly do you mean by Hybrid?

MW: It’s pretty cool because it has a double meaning in this case. The general definition of “hybrid” is combining two or more different things. In this case we want to take the best of several training philosophies in order to accomplish multiple goals at one time.

We also have what’s been called the “Hybrid Muscle” which is really what Lean Hybrid Muscle Building is all about.

NN: Okay Mike I’ll take the bait, what the heck is a “Hybrid Muscle”?

MW: When talking about “super hybrid muscle,” we’re referring to a muscle that has essentially been reconfigured, adding mitochondrial density, which results in a bigger stronger muscle with more endurance capacity. This is accomplished by combining cardio and strength training into a single activity.

The Roadmap to Maximum Lean Muscle Mass

Vince Del Monte interviewed by Mike Mahon, CSCS
50-Minute Audio Interview

This is a great one to add to your collection. You do collect muscle building mp3s don’t you? I mean who doesn’t, right?

delmonteAnyway we don’t agree with the bulking and cutting talk that is discussed but do admit Vince is a pretty motivational character! He is definitely on the same wave length as us even if our training philosophies differ slightly.

Just remember to put your “earmuffs” on when he starts talking about bulking up and cutting down. There’s enough other quality content in this interview that wanted to share it with you. We just had to get that of our chest first.

Our favorite thing Vince says is, “You CAN’T get jacked training only 2 or 3x’s a week. You need to get your ass in the gym and workout! People are ridiculous.” Great quote Vince. Speaking of quotes his dad is a smart guy too…..

Here Are Some Quotes From Vince’s Dad:

“Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future.”

“First you make your decisions than your decisions make you.”

Vince Del Monte Interviews Elliott

Intro by Mike Westerdal

I don’t know about you, but whenever I want to learn something new I always seek out the best. In college I would lift weights with the offensive/defensive lineman and than I’d go running with the receivers and d-backs.

Not much has changed today. When I wanted to compete in powerlifting I found some of the countries strongest training at Tampa Barbell and I instantly knew that’s where I had to go a few days a week.

Same thing goes for my career. Elliott and I went to a fitness summit seminar in Orlando, FL about a month ago so that we could keep up with industry trends.

That’s where we met a guy named Vince Del Monte. Maybe you’ve heard of him? He’s got one of the Internet’s most popular muscle building and six pack ab sites.

Vince was really excited about our Lean Hybrid Muscle training and wanted to do an interview with Elliott. We had it transcribed below for you. It was cool to meet up with Vince. A lot of you have been asking about ab training and Vince was our go to guy in that department. So it was pretty cool how we could teach him about super hybrid muscles and he could give us some pointers on getting the abs to pop.

Here’s a pic of Vince with his girlfriend Flavia. They’re celebrating his 30th birthday party in the Dominican Republic as we speak.

He’s got a cool surprise lined up for you guys next week, but I’ll tell you more about that later.

Here’s the interview Vince did with Elliott while we were in Orlando.  Later, MIKE

Creating the Optimum Anabolic Environment podcast

by Mike Westerdal

To cut to the chase, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed and when I have a question I go to people I trust to help me figure things out. Wait a minute, that actually makes me smart .

You all know I want to burn fat, stay strong and build muscle at the same time.

lean
All these online experts were telling me it’s not possible, but I just wasn’t buying it.

I decided to contact my buddy Eric Talmant who is a functional diagnostic nutritionist and a powerlifter. He knows his stuff when it comes to nutrition and he cares about getting strong so he seemed like the best person to go to.

I had just one question for Eric.

Is it possible to build muscle and burn fat at the same time without having to religiously monitor your calories?

He, said yes and it has to do with your Anabolic Environment which is what this podcast is all about!

Lean Hybrid Muscle Radio Interview

By On September 7, 2009 5 Comments

I want to apologize to you.

First, like Mike and I mentioned several weeks ago when we launched our Lean Hybrid Muscle blog… we are really excited about the prospect of burning fat and building muscle with “Hybrid Muscle” training and “Type III Muscle” building.

BUT…

We’re both also SUPER busy with our businesses and me with my family… in fact, I had to cancel classes at my gym today to run home and care for Isabelle (my 5 year old), since she awoke with a toothache this morning.

Forgive us ;)

Look, I am just SHOCKED at the overwhelming response from everyone about our project!

Also, last week I gave you super short notice about a radio show interview that I was asked to conduct… the truth is that I had no idea about the interview until the night before and was completely unprepared. — Sorry!

It seems that word is traveling far and wide about our “Lean Hybrid Muscle” project! Popular radio shows and most recently a major fitness magazine have been seeking the counsel of Mike and I about all the buzz.

So, I figured since Isabelle is taking a nap now and the other girls are out with their mom…. that I’d hook you up with a replay of the show. You can hear it in the player below.
