    Ian King's guide to getting bigger, stronger and leaner!

    DVD Book and Workout - for a fantastic product.

    I know you hear this all the time, but I divide my years in the gym into pre-King and post-King. The pre-King time was almost entirely wasted, I think. Thanks for a fantastic product. Yours,
    --Colby

    How to Teach Strength Training Exercises - does it cover all the exercises?

    I have a question for you. I am anxiously awaiting get buffed 1 and the dvd. When I am ready for the get buffed 2 and 3, do your video "How to Teach Strength Training Exercises" cover all the exercises in those two book including the stretching and control drills? I rather buy one video rather than all the individuals videos. My goal is to be able to design and train my own self effectively. Thank you,
    --Edith

    Edith - The How to Teach covers only the strength exercises (including control drills). The stretching you will need 'Ian King's Guide to Individual Stretching'. Also, the GB Workout DVD will cover the strength exercises for the GB 1 workout but not necessarily the GB II and III workouts (or the Control Drills), which the How To Teach series will look after.

    FYI I expect to take the HTT series to DVD early in the new year.
    My goal is the same as yours for you!
    --Ian King

    The Get Buffed! DVD and book Combo

    Dear Mr King, I have bought and received the get buffed DVD and book Combo and a DVD on drill control. I realized that on the squat portion you mentioned something like "squeeze your cheek" when standing up from a squat. Does "squeeze your cheek" means squeeze your buttocks? I am not sure of this slang used.

    Also, your dvd contains very good training mentions. I am blessed by it.

    Thanks. Have a great day.
    --Henry, Singapore

    Henry - great to see you investing in your education! The abdoms and gluts (cheeks) work together to control hip position. Going down in the squat I place prime focus on sucking in the tummy to ensure control of pelvis into what I call an optimal position (relatively flat and unchanging lower spine shape) and contraction of the gluts (i.e. squeeze cheeks) in the up phase for the same reason.

    Thanks for feedback on the DVD. That's more technical info that I understand but will pass it on to our suppliers.

    I am impressed with your application of gratitude.
    --Ian King

    Training Program

    Hi Ian, I am a bodybuilder and I wish to gain more muscle but i have done lots and lots of programs out there including yours twice over.I was wondering if it would be possible for you to design me a program for the purpose of gaining muscle? Obviously I would pay you to do that i am sure we could work out a price? If this is possible could you please contact me via email? I understand you would be very busy but you are my fav coach and your programs have always worked but recently i seem to have been stuck at my current weight of 225lbs.

    I have tried many different things eg.resting more,sleeping more,reducing volume,increasing volume and nothing has worked.

    If you could do this request i would be most happy if not then thank you for your time mr.king
    --David, United Kingdom

    David – thanks for your email. Great to see your commitment to your training. I am asking my head coach to touch base with you to see how best we can serve your needs. His name is Mike Pimentel and his cc shows above. I rarely work outside of referred clients. Also, it may not be cost effective for you to hire myself, and my personal values are committed to excellence – I don’t start something that is not sustainable for a reasonable period of time. I will oversee the communication between you and my coach/es. Look forward to the outcome!
    --Ian King

    Italian B'Ber

    Hi Mr King.I'm an italian BBer and I have read many your writings and specializations on Tmag and I have used your specializations for arms and chest. But the problem is my chest! It doesn't improve! or,better,it improves a little. Have you some exercise for me or some program,please? Thank's very very much.
    --Oreste

    Oreste - thank you for your email. When generic programs such as those posted in my articles/books don't do the job, you probably need an individualized program.

    My coaches can individualize a program for you if you wish to hire a KING coach. Learn more at the linke below..

    Anything is possible if you believe it is, and are willing to take action to achieve it.

    Champion Athlete!
    Marathon racer meets KING Coach!

    I am a marathon runner. Actually, to be more accurate, I am a marathon racer.

    When I had my first assessment with Darren Stehle in the third week of April, I had logged about 500 miles of running in 2006. I had withdrawn from the Boston Marathon and decided to reduce my running workouts indefinitely. I was experiencing intense fatigue in my lower back and I had incurred what I thought was an injury in the form of a pulled muscle in my right adductor.

    When I met with Darren, he did a thorough analysis of my posture and flexibility. He was particularly observant of the differences between the two sides of my body. While they are subtle, he could accurately pinpoint the areas that were different and he pieced together, from my personal mosaic, some very accurate ideas about my back and ‘adductor’ issues. (It turned out that I actually had a groin injury, which I wouldn’t have known without Darren’s focused assessment.) The basic diagnosis confirmed that I am very inflexible – probably due to the finite range of motion I use as I run long distances. He made copious notes to take with him to his personal laboratory.

    A week later, we met again, this time Darren arrived with a full stretching plan in hand which he guided me through step by step, explaining why each exercise was appropriate for me – to increase my flexibility. He also took care to start with a particular side of my body first, depending on the exercise, so it would address my weakest side and build flexibility where it was most needed.

    Now, after six weeks of using Darren’s program, I have run well over 300 miles. I am moving easier, much faster and smoother. I am having more fun and I no longer feel that ache in my back and my groin injury has fully mended.

    I appreciate Darren for his precision of observation and for sharing his genius with me. I feel excited about my running program again. I gladly recommend Darren to anyone that has a specific need in the area of Integrated Fitness. He is a fabulous listener, a great observer and creates programs tailored specifically to each client’s needs.

    Thank you Darren!

    Coach Education
    A balanced approach for a global future!

    it should be used i feel as a text book!

    To Ian and the crew at KSI -
    I have been a personal trainer for 2 years now and have read a few books on strength and conditioning and i assist a friend of mine in training his powerlifting clients ( they have just competed at the world natural powerlifting comps in Bendigo, Vic) the muscle book i have just finished reading is a top rate book that is crammed with so much top information it should be used i feel as a text book for people who are getting into the fitness industry once again congratulations on a first rate book, i will keep in touch! Regards

    -- Simon.

    Simon – thanks for your email and for the positive feedback on the BOM! Great to hear you received the value we believe was put into this book, and we have the belief in common that this is one of the most informative books ever released!

    As a personal trainer, we trust you are familiar with our professional development products and courses, on
    here.

    Thanks again, and all the best with your training and business!

    -- Ian King

    The best route in regards to educating myself?

    Ian, i am a bodybuilder and i love to train hard and make the best of my training.However i have hardly any knowledge of training and have only 2 years experience.

    I am interested in some kind of education which would be the best route in regards to educating myself?I wish to some day become a trainer however don't want to be another uneducated instructor i want to be able to give the best advice possible and also to further my career in bodybuilding at the same time.I also am interested in all aspects of training.

    You are by far my favorite coach and love reading your stuff on T-nation and i have also got your book "how to write strength training programs" which i sometimes feel is too advanced for me. I have also done some of your programs like limping,super strength and the arm program which where great.I really want to excel in life and need the best advice from the best to do that,so Ian if you could give me some advice i would be greatful.By the way i am 22 years old and from the UK Thanks a lot, David

    David - thank you for your email. I have concluded that you are seeking guidance in your potential career path in physical preparation. In essence you will need to make your own mind up, but you will be drawn to what you attract and deserve, and as long value this concept, you can change your attractions.

    In essence the first question is whether you want to do a university degree or an industry certification. I believe I have addressed these issues at length in two of my book - 'So You Want to Become a Physical Preparation Coach', as well as 'The Way of the Physical Preparation Coach'. I would imagine that if you don't have/read these books you will.

    At some time in your life you may be drawn to the KING Coaching Program - who knows. I would only want that if it was a match for who you are.

    How much you achieve, how much impact you make on the world in your short time on this planet is determined by your - your self-belief, values, and determination/work ethic.

    As you assess all your options be objective in your assessment. Look at the way your potential influences/role models lead their life and ask if that is what you want. And continue to seek a better way! All the best!
    -- Ian King

    Thank-you again for the opportunity!

    Ian, Thank-you again for the opportunity to interact and learn from the exceptional coaches from KSI. Each one demonstrates a high level of character and commitment to excellence; the fact that they are willing and able to communicate their skills is a bonus I am grateful to have the opportunity to experience. The value I received is far greater than the monetary cost of the Boot Camp – not even close.

    There a many concepts that I was exposed to during my time in Utah that are already proving beneficial as I move forward; a couple in particular.

    1) Consistency is the key to any successful endeavor, whether it be physical preparation, business, relationships – anything. Take action every day that will further your goals.

    2) Effective time management; deletion and delegation. Get the clutter out of life that interferes with your goals and make time for the important things. I also appreciated the manner in which you suggested our priorities be arranged:

    - Personal health
    - Family
    - Financial – Never allow this to take priority over 1 & 2

    The exposure I have had to KSI has caused me to conclude that the training in physical preparation is the finest available anywhere. While this is important, it is more important to me personally that KSI prompts development in all areas of life – personal and professional. It is evident to me that there is a sincere desire to see students grow and succeed in their endeavors – this is far different from many organizations out there.

    I would be remiss if I did not let you know how much I appreciated working one on one with Miguel Charles. The time he spent with me is paying dividends in my health and has changed my thinking as it relates to the relative importance of the physical qualities. The added emphasis on flexibility and stretching has made a positive impact on my quality of life already.

    My wife Nancy and I have the opportunity to meet with Mike and Rhonda Pimental next week regarding getting started with KING Health International. This is just one step of action of many that we are making as we move forward on this new journey. I look forward to a continued association with you and your fine organization. Thank-you,
    --Dean Carlson

    Again I am impressed with your sharing. I strongly encourage you to be clear in your plan and stay committed. The daily winds may buffer us, but ultimately if we stay true to our clear, firmly held goals, supported by determined, consistent action – you will build the life you desire, and have the impact on others that makes the difference in their lives in the same way you have had these gifts shared with you.

    I look forward to watching which team you ultimately chose to play on – the <5% who really make a difference in their lives and others; or the >95% who chose not to go the distance.
    --Ian King
