S2 E3 Balamane Bigger Faster Carb Loaded

(MP3)

I'm Saad Balamane.

I am passionate about modelling and arts. I want to use art of athletic posing to express my feelings. I feel at my best being on stage.

I did my first men physique competition and I ended up winning first place at my first show!

I prepared very hard to compete in that first show and all the others thereafter. Therefore, I keep in mind on thing: Now if you want to win, there is no way around hard work. If you want something big, you got to give a lot to get it!

Since the first time I touched a weight, I fell in love with the gym even though I didn't know where everything was going to bring me. I should also specify how and where I started. 

It's been 3 years now since I touch my first weight. I was 110 lb., really skinny and at 5' 9" tall. I had to overcome the fact that my starting situation wasn't the ideal to build any muscle and also to stop listening to negative people around me. Again, let me tell you something, if you don't believe you can do something then you can't! 

My competition weight this year was 174 lb., my offseason weight was 190 lb.! So let me tell you something, it does not matter where you start at as long as you have a plan to get where you want to get! 

I'm currently planning on competing at the North American Championship 2015!

S2 E2 Rise Stronger Dr. Brian Epstein

(MP3)

Graduate Penn State University 1992
New York Chiropractic College 1995
7 NPC Competitions
9 IFBB Competitions

1/27/2009. That's the day I said that I was going to make a change. After being struck by a drunk driver in 2002 I had been on disability for 7 years. I have 4 herniated discs in my low back. I was done being a victim. I had to make a change for my sons sake. He was turning One and I didn't want him to know me like this. 

I had been fit for 12 years before my health was TAKEN from me. I figured I would diet and do push ups. That led to P90X. Then I dated an NPC bikini competitor and attended my first show. That is when I saw the men in board shorts. I was almost 42 years old but I knew I wanted to look like that. My grind hasn't stopped. I did 7 NPC shows in 10 months and earned my IFBB card. I did 9 IFBB shows in 13 months. My goal is to keep improving. This is my calling. I'm 44 and I feel 34. My 30's were robbed from me by a drunk driver. I'm taking those years back!!!!

E48 Hero's Might

The Hero's Might (MP3)

There is something that twinkles in the eye of a hero. That twinkle is a sign of their determination. But where does this determination come from? Can that determination be created. I say yes. Yes, you can create that determination. Yes, you can create the Hero's Might.

First, I want to talk about the determination that crates the twinkle in the hero's eye. This determination is a desire to compete. The desire to compete is strong. It boils and brims. The desire to compete makes the hero's mouth water. The hero may even begin to salivate at the chance to compete, for the chance to show what they are made of, and to match their might against the opposition.

The hero's might need not just be manifest on the sports field or in the stadium, I can be on the practice mat or in the pool, it can be on the job, or a school, it could be on the exam or with the shovel or saw. The hero's might is the determination to present your best to show the world or just yourself your strength.

This brings me to how to create the hero's might.

The hero's might is rarely something you are born with. But it is always possible to create it. To create the hero's might first, choose what you want to improve at. Next learn how to improve at it. This might come from both knowledge and practice. As you practice your knowledge about how to improve can increase. This rarely happens without a goal and a deadline. This is why some compete to fuel their intensity and effectiveness of practice. Your practice does not need to be perfected before you perform, because every performance is also practice for the next time you need to perform.

If every performance is an opportunity to learn how to improve, every performance can improve the efforts you make. Choose to improve at something, choose to compete, to perform, and choose to learn. Implement these steps and ideas in your life and you too will begin to feel the hero's might.

Never a rest day, never a cheat day, because life happens.
