CONSULTATIONS
“I
enjoyed the phone consultation a lot tonight. I'm going to use the tools in
which you
talked about to help better myself as a bodybuilder as well as a person in
general. It was funny about you talking about how you worried about how to pose
during you first competitions. That is one of the things that I worry about.
When I do my cardio in the morning I'm going to make my list and write my goals
I'm going to achieve. I already have a few down. Another thing that

“Thanks
for your insights, observations and specific info you provided Jon and I during
the telephone consultation. We are putting your advice to action already and see
and feel the results today. We will keep you posted on our progress in the
bodybuilding field. Speaking to you cleared away any doubts that either of us
had as to whether we were on the right path and moving ahead at the right pace.
We are focusing more clearly now that those second-guessing thoughts have been
quieted. Thanks again for your videos, Skip La Cour’s Daily Training Journal,
and How I Packed-On16 Pounds of Drug-Free Muscle In Just One Year!. We are
living examples that following the right model saves time in achieving our
goals. So much so that we are constantly having to reset the bar because we are
moving ahead faster than our imaginations would allow. If miracles were the rule
rather than the exception in daily beliefs of common occurrences then following
your lead would be common sense. We both know that common sense is anything but
common though. We both feel privileged to trust you in this world where trust is
as common as common sense. Your availability through Ironman, web site, books
and videos has made our choice easier. Thanks for Being There For US.”

“Thanks
for our hour on the phone! I really learned a lot from our conversation.
My learning was not limited to how you succeed, but I learned a lot about
my own fears and how to overcome them. Your passion and desire to excel is a
real motivator! Our conversation will serve to build even more momentum in my
bodybuilding efforts. Thanks!”

“Thank
you. I am anxiously awaiting the tape recording of our conversation. I
appreciate the opportunity to build my future successes on the lessons you have
learned on your own journey of success. I gained insight into some very specific
bodybuilding techniques that I am confident will accelerate my progress in the
gym. I also learned many principles that I can apply to bodybuilding and many of
the other challenges and opportunities in life. I believe that finding the
motivational fire deep inside myself is not nearly as challenging as sustaining
that fire. Our phone conversation provided me with renewed motivation, new
insight, and intense focus. I will be calling you in a couple months to relay my
success stories and seek additional information. By the way (for what my opinion
is worth-my professional background is in marketing), I believe that your
success in natural bodybuilding, your analytical/entrepreneurial mind, and your
ability to communicate verbally and in writing makes you a unique and extremely
marketable person/commodity. I am sure that the success you have realized to
date is only scratching the surface of the returns you will see in the future. I
am sure that you already know that as well.”

“I
just wanted to drop you a note and tell you, first of all, how much I enjoyed,
and truly benefited, from our conversation on Monday. I did sit down and compose
a list of positives and negatives on bodybuilding and took an honest hard look
at both sides, finally concluding that it is something I need to get back to.
Second, I wanted to tell you, I got the audiocassette today and your kind letter
and I wanted to say thank you again. I will definitely be listening to the tape
many times! I will keep you informed of my progression, and again, thanks for
everything.”

for the phone call last night. I needed that type of coaching. It's time to take
it to a new level and attitude and be a true warrior. I thought a lot about your
thoughts. It's all making sense! Anyway, last night I ordered 15 bottles of

"I
recently had a phone consultation with Skip and I was so amazed by his passion
for the sport. Just listening to him made me want to be in the gym and train as
intensely as humanly possible. I got some of the most valuable information to
help me as I start my journey to becoming a competitive bodybuilder. I got so
much out of it that, after we were done, I hung up the phone and said to myself,
'That's how I wanna be! I will be just like that! I will train more intensely
than ever to become a 'serious, weight-pumping muscle machine!'"

COACHING
“I
just received the audio tape for your personal coaching program and I really
have to thank you for the outstanding job! You sent it to me 2 1/2 weeks after I
sent the check which, after you subtract the 10 days it takes to be delivered
back and forth from Singapore, is really fast service! At the ending portion of
the tape, I could even here you panting. You talked all the way until the end of
the tape, which I really appreciated. Great work and thanks! I now know what it
takes to become a champion and the pain I must endure to get there. I am more
than willing to face my challenges, just like you faced yours. Thank you for
giving me that new level of COURAGE.”

You are the second to know (right after my wife, the spotter), that I achieved a
goal that I set for myself today. I never thought I would go beyond my standard

“Thank
you for completing my personal tape so promptly. I've listened to it several
times and it is, as you said, more than I expected. Your knowledge, sincerity
and passion for bodybuilding in helping me achieve my goals, really comes
through. I felt as though you were
there in person. I now have a new attitude toward my training and nutrition. In
fact, I've already increased my poundage in certain basic exercises to a level I
previously thought was unattainable for me. Again, thank you for sharing your
expertise with me, and I wish you all the best in attaining your goals in life.
With your mindset, you can't miss. I plan on keeping in touch with you on my way

had, and how the tape has motivated me to get back to bodybuilding. I wrote down
my goals, and listened to the tape of our conversation several times, and then
just got to it! I have now been back to it for a solid three months, and I have
to say the one body part a day is like an answer to a prayer for a bodybuilder!
I am just making gains left and right, and never overtrained! I also bought your
bodybuilding seminar, and am looking forward to getting even more from that.
Thank you again, ever so much, for all your help and advice!

impact on me.”

“I
got my Mass Machine: Hardcore, Heavy, and Intense! Training Video today. You did
it again! Every time I order one of your products I'm convinced it's the best
money I've ever spent. This tape is awesome. I've already watched it twice and
have picked up several new ideas for my own workouts. I hate to keep telling you
things that I'm sure you hear everyday, but I had to express my gratitude to you
for putting out such an outstanding product. Thanks to your videos, books, web
site and AST (I now solely use AST for all of my supplement needs) I am now
in the best shape of my life and am only getting bigger and stronger. Thanks
again Skip.”

“I'm
18 years old and currently going to school at the University of Nevada Reno. I
love bodybuilding and I plan to compete in the California Collegiate
Championships. I can't wait for your training camps to begin. I'm looking
forward to training with the best. Your mass machine video was awesome. I always
watch it before I train. I just got back from the Mr. Olympia contest and I
thought it was great. I couldn't believe the size of the competitors. I didn't
get a chance to meet you at Gold's, but I'm really looking forward to it. I
really respect you for being drug free. You inspire me to achieve excellence
without the use of drugs. With your influence you are starting a new breed of
natural bodybuilders. Your drive and dedication is unbelievable, and you show me
that with a positive attitude you can do anything. Thanks for everything Skip,
I'm glad to be a part of your team.”
Jeremiah
Boucher
“I just received Mass Machine: Hardcore, Heavy, and Intense! Training Video today and it was absolutely incredible! You are truly one of the strongest natural bodybuilders that I have ever seen. I have ordered a lot of bodybuilding magazines, videos, and books but your video is without a doubt the most inspirational of them all. After I watched your video I felt like an animal and wanted to go the gym and pick the heaviest weights I could find and just blast them! I look forward to you making more books and videos in the future!”
Joseph
Gambardella
“I
just finished viewing Mass Machine: Hardcore, Heavy, and Intense! Training Video
and it scared the hell out of me. I've never seen anyone attack the weight
room like that. When you grabbed the 155-pound dumbbells and started pumping my
eyes about popped out of my head. Such huge weight and explosive energy, I
was on the edge of my seat thinking an injury is about to happen. I had to keep
telling myself, "It’s a video . . . he's been doing this for years."
Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for making such an empowering video. I give
it ‘five stars’ for intensity!”

“I
just wanted to say thank you for being such a leader in the natural bodybuilding
world. Looking at your web site, reading your books, watching the Mass
Machine: hardcore, Heavy, and Intense! Training Video... I just have to say that
you are AWESOME!!! Thanks for being the inspiration that you are. I work in
a local gym/health club where steroids are pretty common. The temptation
grows almost daily to use the junk when you see guys who literally grow by the
second. Then a fellow trainer turned me on to your
web cite and I have to tell you I was so relieved to see such a muscle monster
who was clean. I wish I had the progress that you have, but I know that
Rome wasn't built in a day. Again, thank you for all the hard work that you
do.”

“I
just have to tell you I was inspired by the Mass Machine training videotape. I
read the weights you were lifting on your site and said, ‘This I've got to
see.’ I expected to see crappy lifts like I see from the bodybuilders in my
gym, but I was pleasantly surprised at the control you showed. Sure, you cheat
on some exercises, but I could tell you were in control unlike and the cheating
served a clear purpose. I am an underweight 220 and need to put on some upper
body mass. I've always been the type of lifter that when I see someone lift more

“The
Mass Machine Training Video was incredibly motivating and inspirational. As I
look above and see my comment it still can not describe how excited I am about
the package. With the package I get a clearer understanding or picture of Skip
La Cour. I think I'll get Dare to Dream Video soon because I'm interested in
personal life goals and accomplishments. I think the one aspect that many books,
video, and magazines lack is the incorporation of a fitness lifestyle into daily
life (no wonder most people can not find the time or desire to train
consistently). I see many young dedicated kids in the gym with no direction in
life but a passion to succeed in something (a waste of great potential). I can
relate because I never really had any direction, focus or passion outside of
bodybuilding but within it was a different story. I'm starting to develop these
qualities outside of bodybuilding but within bodybuilding you have only raised
my level of focus and intensified my passion. For this I thank you deeply and
extremely gratefully. I wish you best! You truly are an inspiration and a person
I would love to emulate.”

“I
got the Mass Machine training video last night. I immediately tore open the box,
slammed it into the VCR, and watched it. Amazing, simply amazing. The weights
that you use are phenomenal and being that strong and massive so close to a show
is awesome. Keep up the great work.”
Dan
Groves
Urbandale,

“That
training video is awesome! I like the no nonsense feel of the video...nothing
fake or especially pretty--just hardcore training. Watching you with the weight
you are lifting has inspired me to increase my own intensity and focus. I
believe that Skip La Cour’s Mass Machine Training Video is the best video on
the market for showing the real weight and intensity that’s needed at the
level you are at. Truly, a work of art!”
Loren
Betts
Santa
Rosa, CA
“I’ve
got to tell you that your training video is by far the best thing you have come
up with in order to motivate us up-and-coming bodybuilders! Not only I am able
to actually see you lifting those huge amounts of weight so close to your show,
but I can also see things that you’ve talked and written about
before—instead of just visualizing them like I was doing before. Things such
as having control over your lower back and “controlled cheating” to name a
couple. There’s one thing in particular that you do before your heavy sets
that has really motivated me to an entire new level—and that’s how you
implement your rituals. I can now see how they empower you to put your mind in
an extremely focused state-of-mind. There is no doubt that your video is the
best hardcore bodybuilding video--by far! Nothing has motivated me more than
this video. This video will become a precious item in my life when I get into
those last weeks before my show. I now know where to go for motivation when I
try to tell myself not to attack the heavy weight.”

“I was very impressed with the video! I liked that fact that it just got down to business. There were no "special effects" or weird camera crap to try and make the person look cooler than they will ever really be. It was very real, which is something you don't see very often. And, most of all, it was impressive. I loved finally getting to see what all the exercises were that you mention in your daily journal. I can't wait for the next video and the upcoming books.”

“Skip,
I got your training video….WOW!!!!!! I can't stop watching it! My wife’s
comments are, ‘you watching that again?’ Seriously though Skip, it's really
great…hardcore all the way. The weights you use are tremendous. I can hardly
wait until Monday to work out. I've never been more excited about training since
I’ve been following all the great information from your web site, your book
Thinking Big, and now your awesome training video. Thank you very, very much.”

”Hello
and thanks for getting my Dare To Dream video out to me so quickly. I found it
to be very inspirational and a great motivational tool. I also enjoyed learning
more about the man who dared to ‘Think Big.’ It's great to see someone who
has the courage to pursue a lifestyle at what they love to do most succeed and
then teach others in such a sincere and straightforward manner.”
William Bermudez
“I
received your much anticipated "Dare To Dream" video in the mail on
Monday of this week. In this time I
have watched it through 4 times, it is an inspiring piece of work to see how
someone can achieve so much when they have the desire, passion and commitment
that you have shown. I have spoken to you before via e-mail regarding the mental
fortitude required to dedicate oneself to this sport, this is an area where I
have fallen short before but through your inspirational videos and words, I know
that I have at last broken through that sticking point. I completed your Thinking Big book yet again this week, but
with a desire and commitment that I have never felt before, and I hope you don't
mind, but I have used parts of your book to build my own personal game plan and
motivation booklet for myself to always refer back to, so I can truly appreciate
why I have undertaken this commitment. So why do I know that at last I have
reach the correct mental state to never give up, well, you see at the moment I
cannot train with weights, in fact for the last 2 weeks I have been lying flat
on the floor after damaging discs in my back.
I know that if during this time of discomfort, I have not lapsed in my
diet, I have not lost any mental focus, then I can say that I am on the way to
achieving some of my dreams, I cannot wait to see how strong I will feel
whenever I eventually start lifting and training again. Thank you for all your
guidance, I am now going to read up on the other great motivators that you have
written about such as Anthony Robbins and Zig Ziglar, if I can locate their
books in this country.”

"My
wife bought me your Dare to Dream and Mass Machine Training video for Christmas
and what a treat! It was great to see how you changed over the years and
continuously improved. Your condition at the 1998 Team Universe was incredible.
I've seen photos, but seeing it on video is amazing. It really gives me a new
appreciation for what being contest ready really means. The training video is
awesome. The weights you use in your daily workouts are incredible. I consider
myself a strong bodybuilder, but you are in a class by yourself. The video gave
me a reference for what you mean by finding a good value between form and weight
lifted. I'll be competing in my second contest this year and these videos will
help fuel me through my daily cardio sessions. Last year, I did very well
following your Daily Training Journal and will follow it again this year."

“Bravo on
your Dare to Dream! video! I just finished watching it and I was honestly moved
by your story of dedication and incredible progress as the world's hardest
working natural bodybuilder! You must know that your ability to touch people's
lives in positive ways is indeed a God-given talent. I believe that for whom
much is given, much is required and you have given so much over the years. Not
just information for bodybuilding but the psychological and mental aspects of
improving life as well. These aspects are crucial for living and have certainly
given my life more depth and value as I pursue my dreams and goals. Anyway, I
appreciate your passionate efforts to elevate your standards daily and
contribute your knowledge, talents and time to your family, friends and fans. As
the saying goes, ‘What lies before you and what lies behind you are tiny
matters compared to what lies within you’. You have come a long way Skip, and

training video showed the intense, focused side of you. Dare to Dream! showed

“I am a
fifty-seven year old concert pianist and teacher with my own music school. My
nutrition trainer recommended your book Thinking Big and I read it—cover to
cover—several months ago. I was so impressed with its simple, direct truth
that I bought several copies for students and friends and have encouraged many
others to purchase the book. I just finished watching your new video, Dare to
Dream! and just want to say thank you for being who you are…and how vitally
important people like you are for us ‘mere mortals’. It is people like you,
constantly striving, battling your own frustrations every day but not giving up,
that give our young people (and those of us who are older and supposedly wiser)
the courage to delve deep within and find our own source of power. I am halfway
through the Bill Phillips “Body for Life” 12-week Physique Transformation
competition. Having a goal, even for 12 weeks, gives a focus I might not have
had otherwise. I know that after these 12 weeks I will need to find another.
Your example has given me that. Again, sincere thanks and my best wishes and
prayers for your continued thriving in your outstanding life.”

POUNDS OF DRUG-FREE MUSCLE IN JUST ONE YEAR!
"I thought I would e-mail
and tell you THANKS! For both your Bodybuilding Nutrition NOW! download and "Special Report: How I Packed-On 16 Pounds of
Drug-Free Muscle In Just One Year!. The diet information has incredibly accelerated my efforts beyond anything I've tried before. I've taken the diet
and supplement itinerary in both, and role modeled it to my specific body. Everything from the protein powder, meal replacements, other supplements and
vitamins, to drinking 2 plus gallons water daily. Would you believe I've gained
a little over a half inch on my chest, in just two weeks with no gain in body
fat? I can't believe it! I love the information you've given; it's well worth
the price! Also, I feel better and friends say my face looks healthier. But most
importantly, in the past couple weeks, my recovery time between my high
intensity workouts has skyrocketed! I'd always been afraid to try high-protein
diet like this. That it'd give me lots of gas and frequent trips to the
bathroom, but I can honestly tell anyone, that's real BS! I haven't experienced
ANY of that. Thanks, Skip, for providing outstanding value. To be honest, I haven't found any other place, on the web
or otherwise. Where I can get what I need, straightforward, simple, and
non-confusing. Thanks!"

“I thank
you for all of the material that you have provided me (your videos, journals,
and books). Currently I am 6'3, 230 pounds, with approximately 10 percent body
fat. Since adopting your philosophies, I have gained 15 pounds. I am getting
compliments on the gains. My diet is good, not perfect, but since purchasing
your book How I Packed on 16 Pounds of Drug-Free Muscle In Just One Year! it's
getting better.”

"I just
wanted to thank you. I bought your How I Packed-On 16 Pounds Of Drug-Free Muscle
in Just One Year! book and it has helped tremendously. My problem was that I was
not eating nearly enough protein. Well, with little to no change in my routine,
my bodyweight has gone from the high 190's to about 205 in only a few weeks. You
get sick of tuna and protein shakes quick enough, but I guess it’s a small
price to pay."

“Thanks
for your insights, observations and specific info you provided Jon and I during
the telephone consultation. We are putting your advice to action already and see
and feel the results today. We will keep you posted on our progress in the
bodybuilding field. Speaking to you cleared away any doubts that either of us
had as to whether we were on the right path and moving ahead at the right pace.
We are focusing more clearly now that those second-guessing thoughts have been
quieted. Thanks again for your videos, Skip La Cour’s Daily Training Journal,
and How I Packed-On16 Pounds of Drug-Free Muscle In Just One Year!. We are
living examples that following the right model saves time in achieving our
goals. So much so that we are constantly having to reset the bar because we are
moving ahead faster than our imaginations would allow. If miracles were the rule
rather than the exception in daily beliefs of common occurrences then following
your lead would be common sense. We both know that common sense is anything but
common though. We both feel privileged to trust you in this world where trust is
as common as common sense. Your availability through Ironman, web site, books
and videos has made our choice easier. Thanks for Being There For US.”

information that is very helpful and useful in the fitness and bodybuilding
arena. Being a competitor and 2x All Armed Forces National Champion, I use your
page more than often let me tell you. When I receive questions I sometimes refer
to your page and I find the answers that I am looking for. Keep up the great

“Your web site is priceless. I commend you for
putting forth the effort to create this Mecca of bodybuilding information. I
especially like your emphasis on the psychological aspects of lifting
weights—it is true that bodybuilding is as much ‘mental’ as it is
physical.”

it drug free and I really admire you for that. Your web site is great and
I always enjoy reading all the articles that you write.”

“This site and your products are a real change to
bodybuilding. It's not about how much you lift or how much dope you put
into body. Some people boast about that! It's mental drive and dedication to the
art of bodybuilding. Thanks.”

“I've read your articles in numerous magazines and decided
to do a search for you! Your web site truly reflects on your accomplishments as

“I am a 34 year old guy who, after reading much of what's
on your web site, find that your belief in motivation, positive attitude, and
accepting responsibility for your own life, is a philosophy we both share.
The extent to which you created your web site and run your business without a
staff, exemplifies the passion that you have for the bodybuilding lifestyle and
helping others. I certainly would like to add you to the group of people I
surround myself with.”

signed up for your e-mail service. I think you're doing a great work for

late. But, I do hope to regain what I've lost in the past in near future. Thanks

recently visited your web site—awesome! I
want to thank you for being a great source of motivation and encouragement, to
both myself, and my colleagues. Although I don't have bodybuilding aspirations,
I do take my training seriously. It's nice to know that there are quality
individuals out there like yourself, who practice what they preach. Train hard
and live drug-free. You're the best Skip. Continued success to you.”

“The web

stalling of late in my progress. Could really benefit from your counsel. Until

I saw your web site I was doing
some things wrong. I was training too much. I wanted to pretend those cats in
flex weren’t on ‘roids and I could handle those workouts, and the truth was
it had gotten to the point that I could, but
it was yielding no results. I started on your 6 day program and
bought into all your ideas on drug free bodybuilding because I have
always been drug free and your explanation of why this is better for a drug free
lifter made sense. And did it work!! I have had better results, strength
increasing, size increasing, etc!! I went from benching 275 for my 4 set to 300
pounds in 5 weeks! Thank you so much for providing such a resourceful web site
for all of us natural body builders out there who want to take the world by

your web site is a awesome site, Dorian is my favorite bodybuilder, but now your
my second after Yates. You train hard and heavy like me—and I love that.
You're my new motivation. Yates was my motivation, but he was the Mr. Olympia
and was only a little bodybuilder and became a pro. You’re my new favorite.

for the great web site. My friend, Keith Shiles, a competing bodybuilder told me
about it. He's been a disciple of
yours for years and recently placed 2nd in the Masters at the Max Muscle in
Culver City, California. Anyway, I just purchased a TON OF STUFF off your site
and I'm hoping to compete someday too. Keith
says he followed your diet program like a Bible for the Max Muscle, and it
helped him to TAKE HIS BEST PLACE EVER! Like I said, a great site, lots to
explore. Hey Skip, you're the Best!”

“Just a
quick word about your site.......ITS AWESOME! I can't wait to begin ordering
your products. I continually come back to your site, the information you provide
is very beneficial to me. I find in you a role model I can model and follow
advice from. Just like yourself I am 29 and finally beginning to get around to
accomplishing the many goals that have been swimming in my head. I want to
improve my body and also get involved in Internet e commerce. Thank you. God
Bless. What program did you use to create your web site? Were you serious in
saying you actually maintain the site yourself?”
Moses
“I just
wanted to take a second to thank you for the awesome web site. My motivation has
been diminished to say the least in recent weeks and your "take
responsibility for your own actions", no-frills approach to bodybuilding is
very refreshing. I'm so used to hearing about how naturals can only get "so
big or so strong or so ripped" that I started to believe it. Your
philosophies have helped to rediscover my goals and I am aiming to compete again
for the first time in a long time this summer. Thanks again and keep up the
great work.”

“Good job
with the web site. I have found it to be very informative. I have also been very
inspired by you. Not so much by your physique (beautiful as it is) since I am a
woman, but by where your mind is. It is great that you share your gift so
freely. Someone once said to let your light shine so that others may shine. That
is what you have done for me.”
“Your site
is by far the best bodybuilding site I have ever come across. You have a wealth
of articles on all kinds of topics. But I would have to say the most impressive
thing about you and others like you is that you dedicate so much to the sport.
You're so willing to pass your knowledge on to others. A lot of bodybuilders
seem unwilling to share their secrets. You seem very willing (and capable) to
pass on your knowledge with a sincere desire to help others. I think this is
rare in bodybuilding today.”

your site regularly. Thank you for your gift to the rest of us. You are building
some good Karma.”

“Just
wanted to say that I am eternally grateful to you. Since reading your web site a
few weeks ago, I have made great progress with my body—more than I have ever
made before. I am 18 years old and have been lifting on and off for three years.
I haven’t missed a workout or a meal in about eight weeks and my body is
finally changing. I learned from your web site that I it was my meal plan that
was way off! Now, I eat 30 grams of protein per meal five times a day. I also
bought 1,000 grams of creatine and—holy cow—this stuff works. I thought all
supplements were b.s. but I’m gaining weight quickly. Thanks a million and
good luck in your future contests."
Mr. Pecs
“You know,
when I first saw you in All Natural Muscular Development, I was impressed by the
great physique. When I entered your page, I hunted for your training and eating
strategies, initially ignoring your motivational tips—thinking that they were
of little value. HOW WRONG WAS I! MOTIVATION is the KEY!! Ever since I stared
reading your motivational tips, I have been glued to this page! I even ordered
your book from the states. You have taken my training to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL! I
used to train for the sake of training. Now I train to WIN! The fact is that I
do not have great genetics but that does not bother me anymore. Asians are
generally smaller than Americans. THAT MAY BE TRUE BUT I WANT TO CHANGE THAT! I
now believe that MUSCLE is all HEART... a belief you created. Thank you Skip for
giving me the courage to chase my dream, Thank you for giving me the best
supplement ever....MOTIVATION. Hopefully, you'll see my name in the bodybuilding
circle one day.”

“The first
time I saw you was on American Muscle on ESPN and I was so surprised that you
had that type of physique being all natural. So, I looked you up on the Internet
and found your site, which is great. Very few bodybuilders give details on how
to build a great body but, though your I've learned a lot. I visit it every week
there’s always something new or I've missed before. Thanks to you I know now
that nutrition is the key to building muscle and the last article titled “Eat
and Grow.” That was great. Anyway, keep this web site super as it's been. I
REALLY ADMIRE YOU!”

one day I will be competing and be a role model. I met a gentleman about 3 years

grown every day since. He emphasized being natural and working hard is the ONLY
way to go and I will never forget that. I respect you a lot for standing up
against drugs.”

work!”
Steve Straub
“I just
wanted to send a ‘Huge Thanks’ to you and let you know that a few of us hardgainers here in Colorado have greatly appreciated you sharing your
knowledge with us in Skip La Cour’s Daily Training Journal. I first had the
opportunity to meet you several years ago at The Mile High Natural Show here in
Denver. At first, I have to be honest that there was no way this guy could be
lifetime drug free. But after purchasing the Training manual and applying this
knowledge, we have realized success and gains that we thought were never
possible drug free! As a mater of fact, we constantly get accused of drug abuse
from others who train at the gym. I guess it’s a form of praise in an abstract
way but the bottom line is we know the truth. Your journal has provided me with
a wealth of information that I personally have followed to the letter and am
competing in the Mile High Natural this Saturday. I wish you could be here so I
could personally thank you for getting me ready for this show and allowing me to
be outstanding in this journey. I'll keep you posted on the results. Continued
success in all your endeavors and once again thanks for being my guru!”

"I
wanted to thank you for helping me win my first show (all natural, of course).
Without the tips and motivation from your Daily Training Journal, I don't think
I would have done as well. Also, just knowing that I wasn't the only person who
was going through the tough times helped a lot too. I think it's great that you
feel confident enough in yourself to divulge all of your contest preparation
strategies and tips. They really help guys who are just starting to compete.
Thanks again, for being so honest and for taking the time to really help educate
up-and-coming bodybuilders. You give us natural guys hope that we can achieve
greatness without succumbing to the easy and unnatural way of training that so
many other guys in the gym do. It's nice to know a pro who must earn every ounce
of muscle—and is willing to help others learn to do the same."

I've been lifting weights and competing in powerlifting for the last twenty
years and your passion for your sport really impressed me. I've been following
your training protocols for the last two years and have made some very good
progress. I followed your journal for the entire thirteen weeks and was very
pleased with the results.

give me the assurance and confidence I need in my upcoming shows. I can only
hope my competitors don't find out about Skip's journal."

"Great
book, that TRAINING JOURNAL!!! I just finished it. I have to give you the utmost
credit, you are an animal with preparation. My hat is off to you! I must admit,
I was skeptical about your book, with it being so expensive and all. I figured,
though, the diet prep would be worth it. Not only was the diet prep worth it,
but everything in the manual was excellent. Your desire, your drive, and your
regimen has become a motivator to me! I will keep you updated as to my contest
performance. Thanks again! You are a great inspiration!"

“You just
sent me your training journal and I cannot put it down. My workout partner was
at my house when it arrived... he offered me a hundred dollars in supplements
for the book, but there was no way I was going to give that book up! I
appreciate the time you devote to others like myself. Everyone around me knows
about you because I constantly talk about you, even my first graders that I
teach know who you are. They always ask if you can chaperone on one of our field
trips! They would love to see your lunchbox! Many things in my life have caught
my eye, but the articles and advice you offer have captured my heart. I believe
those are the things in life one should pursue. You have renewed my self-faith
in my bodybuilding dreams. I look forward to your new videos and books. I don't
know if you have posters, but if you do, I would like to purchase one for my
classroom. I feel it is important that the children see the person I look up to
because I am constantly encouraging them to learn from someone they look up to.
If I had enough spare change I would like to have you come speak to my children,
that would blow their minds, but sadly they don't pay us enough for me to do
that! I hope your training and other life pursuits are going well. Here is a
quote for you that I came up with... A spark in a heart causes a burning desire.
Thank you so much, Skip.”

So daily I was following your journal, reading up on EVERYTHING you have written on your web page and following your ways and approach to different aspects of life and bodybuilding. You're more to me than an idol; someone I really look up to and appreciate. Much like a God, but different if you understand what I mean. You did a lot of good with your journal in 2000 preparing for the NPC Team Universe, despite the fact that it sacrificed your placing. I completely appreciate the time and effort you put into preparing documents for us to read and learn from. I don't know of ANY other bodybuilder who gives as much informative reading as you do!

“I just finished reading the end of your Training Journal 2000. I feel like I just read the end of an incredible novel or movie saga. Your emotions and enthusiasm were very apparent. I want to commend you not only on your literary work, but an awesome year of bodybuilding. You have an incredible positive attitude about the situation and I'm glad you're using it as motivation instead of discouragement. Just remember your "working hard" exercise and what your goals are for next year at this time. If you are going to win at the World level, you said you'd have to put on some significant muscle mass and be as shredded as '98. I know it's difficult to gain a lot of lean mass without too much excess body fat, especially at your elite level. You are truly an inspirational person. Congratulations on all you've accomplished and for your decision to not retire. I feel that too many athletes retire too early because of egos that can't take a decline. You have made a conscious decision to remain at the top of your field and now its time to take the next step forward! You are a role model to all natural bodybuilders, and I love this web site I look to you for my training knowledge. You and AST are the best in the business. Keep up the awesome work!”

an inspiration to me and to thousands of other bodybuilders across the world. I
would love to mirror your efforts as a bodybuilder and being only 19 years old,
I feel as if I have it all to come. You have fueled the fire inside me and I
have set my goal to compete next year for DEFINITE and I am not going to back

actually be able to see someone progress and succeed using a program is a very

provided tremendous daily motivation and guidance! Thanks again for all of your
hard work! As a result of you sharing your philosophy and strategies, I am able
to break through new levels of personal achievement each day! You are correct,
there is always a higher level! Now when I prepare for my workouts, I ask myself
what it will take to reach the level of full mental commitment required to
achieve the results I am looking for. It is well documented that people who are
suffering a tragic moment, or are faced with a terrifying challenge can in many
cases summon additional strength to react, or perform a task beyond their, or
anyone else's imagination. Of course these are situations that nobody wishes to
find themselves against, however knowing that such a level of physical and
mental strength exists, should tell us all that we are capable of so much more
than we allow ourselves to believe on a daily basis. Your level of focus and
drive shows us all that if you are passionate about your dreams, and truly
committed to seeing your efforts through, than anything is possible! Thanks for
showing the world a higher level, and for helping me to think big!”

and I just received your Skip La Cour’s Live! Bodybuilding and Training
Seminar Videos and we have reviewed two of the three. We are impressed and
grateful for you sincerity and honesty. You are a great inspiration to us both.
There is lot of information and strategies out there and there really is no
perfect way. What I liked most, and I'm sure most didn't, was you can only give
direction but we must do the work. We must by trial and error find what works
for us. I appreciate the solid foundation you allow other to work on but no two
people are the same. Therefore, that is the beauty of body building, that it can
only be me and what my body can do and look like. As you've said nothing worth
having comes easy.

book and the videos are very helpful and motivational. You are a great role
model for those of us that choose to train naturally.”

“I talked my wife into ordering your seminar video for me. I thought it was very real world, no bull, like you say. It contained facts I pretty much already knew, but I wasn't practicing. Shortly after I got her to order Thinking Big for me and your Mass Machine training video. I was honestly speechless during the video. My wife walked in when I was watching it and said, ‘He doesn’t talk in this video?’ I replied, ‘He doesn’t have to!’. Thank you for defining intensity. You were right, I thought I was training hard. I’m a local Police Officer and have gotten fed up with the drug use in the sport. I started buying Ironman magazine again about six months ago and became interested in what you have to say. I have never used drugs and I'm going to find out what my true potential is. Thank you for breaking the ‘four-minute mile’ for us drug free bodybuilders."

"I am pleased with the job you did with the Seminar video. The training part and the nutrition diet are perhaps the best. I like the fact that, no matter how many routines or things that we see coming out every month in the magazines, you still stay true to your beliefs. This gives me even more reason for me to keep going for it. Excellent review on the supplements as well. You kept it simple and didn't turn that part into an ad. Of course, the motivation part of the video (or anything that you do, for that matter) is always one of your strongest points. Just like all your other videos, I can't get enough of it. The quality is great, I highly would recommend it to any one who is looking for those secret strategies or methods that as you said are not there. By seeing this video anyone would find out what is the real secret to accomplish their physique goals. Perhaps, even other goals in life as well. Skip, take care and keep up coming out with great videos."

VIDEO PACKAGE COMMENTS
“I just
wanted to send you some feedback on your videos. Only one word can be used to
describe them, AWESOME! The first video of the Bodybuilding and Training Seminar
was my favorite and also Dare to Dream was the second. I could not help but
think to myself of what someone (I can't remember whom) said about
"Arnold" in Pumping Iron, he was so natural because he had not taken
any acting lessons yet and I feel the same way about you. Everything from your
body language to your expressions were so natural. I am glad that my wife got
these videos for me. As I told her, this truly was the best Christmas present
(next to the birth of my daughter on 24 Nov. '99) that anyone has ever gotten
for me. This may sound a little strange, but while watching Dare to Dream, I felt as though I wanted to go the gym, but also as you were
doing some of your poses I could not help but feel as though my biceps were
tightening up or that my muscles were being flexed as yours were. Since I am in
the military, I have two and half years left here in Spain and afterwards I am
going to try to be stationed at Edwards AFB, CA. Once there I would love to come and meet you in person or
maybe even train with you. Then after establishing myself there,

"Today,
I finally got your Video Special Package! Awesome!
I can't believe all the good stuff I got. First, I saw the Mass Machine video
and you were right, I was in the car on the way to the gym five minutes after it
finished. Thanks a lot for signing the book for me. You have really motivated me
with what I have seen so far. And, I'm sure what I have not seen yet will
motivate me even more. Thanks a lot for everything."

"I
recently bought the Christmas package that includes the seminar video. I sat in
complete awe as I watched all of the videos during a 24 hour time span. You were
simply amazing to look at, but also to listen to. During the seminar, I began to
look at training styles and my life as a personal trainer in a completely
different light. Thank you for your
insightful and simplistic message. It gives me added strength to see and hear
that someone else has done exactly the same thing that I have done...and has
succeed. While doing the Personal Power Series, I listed you as one of the
people that I would like to sit down and talk with. Thanks again."

TELECONFERENCE COMMENTS
“The
teleconference was tremendous. It really made me think and gave me some more
inspiration. So much, in fact, that I watched the MASS MACHINE video—not once,
but twice—that night until the wee hours! Man, did you look great in that!
This club has really gotten more motivated than ever and I look forward
to our next one on one! Keep THINKING BIG—as always!”

“I found
the teleconference very interesting and very positive. It was also very easy to
dial in and use. No hassle at all. I
found the topic (How To make The Year 2000 Absolutely Outstanding) very
interesting and am looking forward to next month conference. The information
that you gave throughout that hour was overwhelming and very hard to suck-up all
at once. Thank god you are going to send the audiocassette tape of what was
discuss during that conference! I'll probably listen to it during my cardio
session in the near future. You did an excellent job arranging the
conference.”

SUCCESS
IS A PLANNED EVENT: A DAY IN THE LIFE OF SKIP LA COUR VIDEO
“I
have just finished watching Success is A Planned Event: A Day in the Life of
Skip La Cour and I must say thank you for your heart in the video. To be a
success in life, you must have heart (what you call ‘passion’) and drive to
follow-through.”
Vernon,

“I just wanted to let you know I received your package today and had the opportunity to watch your Day in the Life video... I was most impressed with your drive and determination and how much effort and thought you put into EVERYTHING that you do!! Watching your video reminded me a lot of my father who's a doctor who has the same love for what he does as you do. Me, being a full time college student, as I continue to grow up and mature it's nice to know that I have people such as my father and you who I can look up to and role model. Your video was very inspirational and I just wanted to take the time to e-mail you and thank you personally!”
