Happy Thanksgiving

It's been a great year here at FitnessAtlantic.com. And I'm very grateful for you being a part of that success. This week being Thanksgiving I want to make sure I'm showing you how grateful I am.

But before I do...

Let's get serious for a moment. You're going to eat a LOT of food this Thursday. You know it. I know it. And that's ok. I'm sure you've been working out just a little bit harder to prepare for it, right? ;-) And I know you're going to get a good workout in on Thursday before you chow down, right?

Now, besides that, I also want to remind you one thing you do NOT want to do on Thursday is skip meals so you can stuff yourself with one big one. That's a no-no.

You still need to start your day right by boosting your metabolism with a solid breakfast. So to help you out with that I've got a gift for you from me and my buddies over at Prograde Nutrition. It's a delicious Protein Pancakes recipe.

Thanks to the protein in the recipe your blood sugar won't go crazy like it can just by eating a huge stack of pancakes with sugary syrup. Nope, this recipe will fill you up, nourish your body and give your metabolism just the boost it needs.

Follow this link for the recipe:

Be sure to let me know how you like it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Brian

PS - Seriously, have a nutritious breakfast this Thursday and your body will thank your for it on Friday. ;-)

Building Careers

Everything in our world is constantly changing and the people who embrace change are the people who find long-term success. The people who don’t embrace change will eventually become extinct. The fitness world is no different.

Last month I announced that my fitness event will be run non-sanctioned by a membership federation. Fitness Atlantic has been and always will be committed to being the best and most progressive fitness show in North America. As president of Fitness Atlantic and a leader in the fitness industry I feel it is time for a revolution of our industry, a change of mentality among promoters that benefits the most important person in the fitness competition, YOU the competitor. I stated one month ago Fitness Atlantic was committed to the personal success of the competitors more than any federation in North America and I truly mean that.

The politics of our industry is something that is rarely talked about on a public forum. These discussions usually take place behind closed doors or secretly backstage among competitors. Historically the promoter-competitor relationships have been volatile for various reasons. As a former competitor and active promoter I am aware of the unfair demands, unreasonable restrictions, and uncomfortable pressures that are often put upon competitor’s career and only favor the promoter monetarily. Having been a competitive bodybuilder and placed in these exact scenarios numerous times throughout my career, and enduring times in my life where I despised a sport I loved so much due to unfair practices by promoters, I made a commitment to myself the day I formed Fitness Atlantic, I would never put a Fitness Atlantic competitor in any similar situation. I was determined to never have the negative stigma so many promoters have earned and many rightfully so attached to my name or my company’s name.

I feel over the 11-year history of Fitness Atlantic I have lived up to my commitment. The most important element in building a reputation good or bad is word-of-mouth. I am confident the reputation of Fitness Atlantic and Brian Cannone among competitors is a reputation I can be proud of. Fitness Atlantic has been and will always be about you the competitor.

Please do not judge Fitness Atlantic or myself by my words. Please judge us by our actions. As the most progressive fitness event in North America I want to be the first promoter in the fitness industry to encourage competitors to compete outside of Fitness Atlantic. I want every competitor to realize Fitness Atlantic is committed to building careers. I want to see Fitness Atlantic athletes gain maximum exposure on the stages of Matt Johnson’s INBF New York, Robert Fulton’s INBF Connecticut, Montanari Brother’s NPC Grand Prix, Laura Turlelot’s NGA, and Kevin Topka’s BNLPA, and any federation that will not tie you into a contract or penalize you for entering other events. The days of promoters controlling competitors for personal gain at the expense of the athlete need to be over. A new era of promoters working with competitors building careers has arrived and Brian Cannone and FitnessAtlantic.com are leading the way.

Fitness Atlantic has earned its position by bringing the industries best competitors to its stage for the best event of the year, the Fitness Atlantic Championships. While competition has been and always will be the lifeblood of our fitness industry Fitness Atlantic is expanding into venues all for the benefit of the competitors. To set the standard as the premiere fitness company in North America Fitness Atlantic must look beyond the scope of traditional competition. As president of this great company what I want is the most passionate and driven competitors to be part of Fitness Atlantic’s newest ventures.
The Fitness Atlantic vision encompasses eBooks, e-Courses, DVDs, internet TV and various other fitness related products all based on the individual personality of the competitor. I want the phone of Fitness Atlantic ringing off the hook and our mailbox full with everyone asking the same questions, “How can I create my own fitness DVD?”, “How can I publish a fitness eBook?”, “How can I be on internet TV?”, and the most important question, “How do I further my fitness career?”. I want your face, your feelings, your emotions; your personal story to be the heartbeat of the Fitness Atlantic brand. If your desire is beyond the stage and catapulting your fitness career to new heights, creating products and a persona unique to you, Fitness Atlantic is the place to be.

It all begins with you the competitor, if you have the desire and dedication Fitness Atlantic can make dreams a reality.

Everything in our world is constantly changing. The days of promoters controlling talent are over and were something I personally never felt comfortable with. The traditional competitor relationship is passe. Fitness Atlantic is committed to building and supporting each and every competitor’s career placing no limits on their ability to succeed in this great industry. I say this with pure conviction No Federation is committed to you the competitor and your career like Fitness Atlantic. With all the new ventures from Fitness Atlantic in 2010 I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you and how we can build your career together.

Thank You,

Brian Cannone

Lean Hybrid Muscle

I have to admit that when I first heard my buddies Elliott and Mike preaching about a Type III muscle fiber and how you can build muscle and burn fat at the same time, I was pretty skeptical.

I’m a “go to guy” in the fitness industry and hadn’t heard a lot about this concept, so naturally I had to check out the controversy.

After seeing the results of their “experiment”, I’m convinced that what they’re sharing makes some serious sense.

If you’re sick of bulking up just go get fat, or cutting down just to wind up losing a ton of hard earned muscle than you should seriously take a look at their new Lean Hybrid Muscle system.

http://www.tinyurl.com/leanhybrid <<<< 50% Off Early Link

It’s not available to the general public until the 15th, but they gave me an early link to share with you.

Look, you should know me well enough by now to know I’m not interested in “twisting your arm” to recommend something. Either you think this is right for you or you don’t. Either way is OK.

What I’m doing is giving you a head start to check this out before it’s released to the public. This way you get a shot at some of the really cool presale bonuses that they’ve lined up during the event.

Oh, one more thing. Below is one of my favorite articles that really helped me grasp this, “hybrid training style”.

Stay fit,

Build Muscle & Burn Fat At The Same Time?
by LeanHybridMuscle.com

The most common strategy most people employ for packing on muscle mass, and then leaning out, is through “bulking and cutting.” The problem though is that it doesn’t always work.

The most common scenario is that you put on more weight than you want so you get “fat,” and then jump into endless cardio only to lose a lot of the hard-earned muscle that you built. So, for a lot of guys the choice seems to be between being strong and fat or weak and lean.

I’m here to tell you with absolute certainty that this doesn’t have to be the case. You don’t have to choose between being really strong and a bit plump or being really lean and kind of weak with little muscle definition.

I’m going to let you in on a secret—it’s an unconventional approach that runs contrary to ordinary training philosophies. To build the body you want, you need to build muscle and burn fat at the same time in order to achieve that goal of having a ripped, muscular physique.

The way to build muscle and burn fat at the same time is through incorporating both aerobic and anaerobic activity not just in the same training session but in the same exercise.

By combining resistance weight training with cardio training in the same set, we force the thicker stronger Type-II (fast twitch) muscle fibers to behave more like Type-I (slow twitch) fibers.

By utilizing both types of muscle fibers in the same exercise we can actually build a “HYBRID” Type-IIC muscle fiber that has been nicknamed a Type-III.

Now why would you want a Type-III hybrid muscle fiber?

This reconfigured super muscle has more mitochondrial density which means more nutrients can be processed giving these Type-III muscle fibers a greater capacity to grow bigger and resist fatigue for longer periods.

This style of training mimics the way that our ancestors used to live. They didn’t train with weights one day and run laps the next. No. The kinds of activities they did every day would have been very much like the hybrid training we’re talking about.

Our ancestors were both muscular and lean and it didn’t result from things they set out intentionally to do but rather, it was a natural byproduct of the way they lived their lives.

They were able to both build muscle and burn fat at the same time without even having to consciously think about. By adopting some of the very same training principles that they employed, modern man can achieve the same results.

To discover how you can tap into your hybrid muscle fibers in order to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously go here now.

2 Little Known Fat Burning Facts

Carbs, carbs, carbs. That's what everyone seems to want to talk about. How do I avoid carbs?

Well, what you should be talking about instead is, "How do I get more lean Protein into my eating plan?"

Now THAT is the right question.

You see, Protein is where it's at. Check out these two little known facts about protein:

1) Protein requires more calories to digest than carbs or fat. This is called the "thermic effect of food." In other words, your body uses more calories to digest protein than other nutrients. Pretty sneaky, huh?

2) Protein provides satiety. That's a fancy way of saying you feel fuller for longer when you eat protein ;-)

Good sources of Lean Protein come from foods such as:

Fish, eggs, poultry, lean beef...

But some people have trouble eating enough protein each day. Some people would like it to be more convenient for them.

If that's the case with you then I have VERY good news. And it's news I've been waiting to tell you for some time now.

My buddies over at Prograde Nutrition have finally released their pharmaceutical quality whey protein.

You see, not all Protein powders are created equal. Prograde Protein:

- Delivers unparalled purity through low-temperature mirco-filtering

- Is naturally sweetened with Stevia

- Contains 5.3 grams of branch chained amino acids per serving

- Mixes instantly with just a spoon

- Enhances absorption and digestion via lactase and Aminogen digestive enzyymes

Look, I've been waiting patiently for Prograde Protein to come out. But as usual, Prograde just would NOT release this product until they could get it as close to perfect as possible.

The best part is they are putting it on sale this week to celebrate it's launch. You can get it at 10% off this week ONLY. Just go to http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/protein-powder.html and you'll find all the details. Including the coupon code to use when you order to get the 10% off your order.

But you need to hurry. For one thing, the special price ends this Friday, November 13th at 11:59pm EST. The other thing is, well, I cannot begin to tell you how highly anticipated Prograde Protein has been. There's a very good chance they'll be out of stock well before Friday even gets here!

So get yours NOW.

Yours in health,

Brian Cannone

PS - Prograde Protein is NOT just some run of the mill protein powder you can find anywhere. They've really hit a home run with this one.

Subject: Do NOT Fall For This Scam

You can't really miss it on the Internet these days.
Seems like everywhere you look there's another company promoting the nutritious Acai Berry as a weight loss miracle. 



And that's why I thought it was critical to write you today. We want to make sure you know our opinion on the subject. 



First, you know better than to believe you're going to pop some pills - ANY pills - and have the pounds and inches melt off like magic.

If you've been listening to any fitness expert for any length of time you know true fat loss comes from a variety of factors, including exercise and proper nutrition.



Second, any fitness expert worth their fees will tell you that any diet that promotes you eat any one food all day long and then eat a sensible dinner, well, don't bother. Yes, you will lose some weight short-term, but as soon as you go back to your old eating habits - and you know you will - you know exactly what happens. 



Third, the Acai Berry contains VERY powerful antioxidants and it is getting a lot of good press for that very reason. Yes, antioxidants as in the extraordinary nutrients that help fight the free radicals associated with aging, cancer risk and other degenerative diseases. 



And while on the subject, I wanted to fill you in on something that has recently come to light. Did you know that coffee berries (the berry that covers the coffee bean) is one of the most powerful antioxidants on the planet? It's something researchers have discovered in recent years. 



What's really cool is my friends at Prograde Nutrition have created an amazing Whole Foods based Anti-Aging formula called Prograde Longevity that includes both Acai Berry and Coffee Berry.

Oh, and it also utilizes Green Tea, Pomegranate, Wolf Berry and Biovin Grape (Red Wine extract.)



Just to give you an idea of how powerful this formula is, well, you'd have to eat an entire POUND of raspberries to get the same ORAC value. And in case you're not familiar with the term, ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. 



The best part is you can now try Prograde Longevity for free! You simply pay a tiny shipping and handling fee. Just go to http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/longevity-free-trial.html to order your FREE bottle today.

But you really do need to hurry. I'm not sure how long they're going to be able to make such an incredible FREE offer.

Yours in health,



Brian

PS - Remember, Prograde Longevity http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/longevity-free-trial.html is NOT some silly weight loss pill. It is a powerful combination of anti-oxidants specifically designed to give you extraordinary protection against dangerous Free Radicals.
