Thanks everyone for your comments about my new site, and Muscle Revolution.
As Lou can attest to, that book was a long labor of love. We put A LOT of time into the writing and overall quality of that book. So it's great to hear that people appreciate the extra mile we took.
As for using myself as a model, Lou pretty much summed up my position. You see, there's a real dichotomy that goes on with fitness coaches. There are quite a few top coaches out there don't have a physique that turns heads, but at the same time, these coaches know their stuff. I would much rather see what a coach can do to transform a diverse group of clients, compared to what he can only do with his own physique. Put simply, some coaches have no desire to get big and ripped, and that's fine.
I've never been one who wanted to "advertise" my own physique because I'm not sure it's relevant, and I've never really felt comfortable doing it. I don't like the fact that some coaches merely rip up, post their picture, and then triple their clientele. But the fact of the matter is, a coach's physique is indeed relevant to some. I decided to go with a shirtless picture on my new website because I think the pose we chose is kinda novel, and it doesn't scream "oiled-up, biceps pose in a speedo."
