It’s been a while since I really felt ‘right’ about my lifting. For the longest time, I thought that I simply didn’t care as much as I used to, but now I’m sure that I still care. In fact, the problem wasn’t one of caring, but of belief.I didn’t believe that lifting needed to be what it seems to have turned into…I started lifting weights in high school for a number of different reasons, but none of those reasons were competitive sports.I am not an athlete.I can remember when I was first introduced lifting weights for the purpose of bodybuilding, and I can remember how it was portrayed as a ‘thinking persons’ activity – a physical sort of philosophy. The way Arnold and Frank Zane and Lee Haney all talked about weight training, it was more akin to yoga and meditation then it was football or MMA. It was a physical chess match between you and yourself, and it was this approach to weight training that appealed to me.Lately lifting has turned into sport where we compete on youtube by posting videos of our best lifts, or compete in crossfit or powerlifting or even obstacle courses, we race and we challenge based on time or speed or weight… or level of pukey exhaustion.We create haphazard workout programs based on the latest ‘proven’ scientific theories, instead of doing what we WANT to do.The science has taken over, and the art has died.This isn’t a judgment on how you train now, but on how I have trained in the past.Pushing to the point of breaking, always sore, always ‘almost injured’

The systems in this book have changed the lives of countless men who’ve worked with Romaniello and Bornstein.We recently sat down with the authors of  the New York Times bestseller to address some frequently asked questions about the book.SMB Staff:The plan in Engineering the Alpha is quite comprehensive but definitely appears to be slanted towards fat loss. What do you recommend for those looking to gain muscle mass?John Romaniello:Yeah, it’s definitely a bit more of a “fat loss plan”, but there are muscle-gaining components to it. Phase 3, for example, is all about muscle gain, and phase 2 and phase 4 also have aspects there

John Romaniello (better known as Roman) runs Roman Fitness Systems with a tongue-in-cheek approach to fitness. Equal parts narcissism and self-loathing, Roman writes with passion and humor, show-casing his belief that training doesn’t need to be serious, stern, science-laden monotony. It can be fun, too.Roman stopped by The Fat-Burning Man Show before going on other shows such as Dr Oz, The Colbert Show, and a few other stops in the mainstream media to talk about his new book, Man 2.0: Engineering the Alpha.This is a fun show, but let’s put it this way: it’s a bit more “Tucker Max” than “Paul Jaminet.”I already know this show is going to be controversial. If you’re offended by colorful language, what a male at 23 years old has to say about sex (or women in general), or a few other topics that might raise some eyebrows, you may want to skip to the next show.That said, Roman is brutally honest about his transformation from a chubby kid to a model and unapologetically shares his physical, mental and emotional journey with all of us. It takes a great deal of courage, and gumption, to do that, so there’s a lot to learn from the show if you pay attention.* If you are listening to the podcast, we’ve bleeped out the potty mouth words.In today’s show we talk about:What it’s like to go from being a chubby kid to ripped The head trash that comes along with body transformation (that no one talks about) How you can dramatically improve your life while improving your body And why Tucker Max and Arnold Schwarzenegger say Roman’s book doesn’t suck.
