What do you mean I didn’t win the Body For Life contest?
ByI have a confession to make… I am NOT the 1998 Body For Life contest winner!?!
I know, for the past 10 years I’ve been advertised as the Body For Life winner but technically, I am really not.
I know, you might have seen my name in all the magazines that came out that year, and you see my photo here inside Muscle Media magazine promoting me as the 1998 Body For Life Champion.
And you might have followed my column, “All Systems Go” in Muscle Media magazine where I helped answer people’s toughest diet/fitness/exercise questions and helped many people get in shape with my advice.
But I have to confess to you I did not win the Body For Life Championship in 1998. What I did win was the 1998 Physique Transformation Challenge.
“What?!?”, you might be wondering.
Yes, it’s true, Body for Life, the book, did not come out until the summer of 1999., the year after I won the 1998 Physique Transformation Challenge (which was the name of the precursor to the Body For Life contest).
When I won the contest that year I was literally all alone, had no help at all (remember, Body For Life was not invented yet), and was forced to invent a “brand new” way to diet and exercise. Why brand new? I’ll tell you why in a second…
Here’s why I bring this up now… after all these years.
You see, before I won the 1998 Physique Transformation Challenge I had struggled for over 8 years, literally killing myself, trying to figure out a way to get in shape. I mean, just take a look at my “before” photo here – and this was after working out like a mad man for those 8 years. 
Here’s what I came to realize after those 8, grueling years… my genetics sucked!
I mean, come on, don’t you think that anyone with even a shred of good genetics on his or her body would have at least looked a little better than my before picture showed?
Here’s the real deal… I’ve ALWAYS had a hard time losing fat. I always had this layer of fat covering my body that would just not go away, no matter the diet I tried, the exercise routine I hoped would “be the one”, or the “magical supplement” that promised to transform my body but never delivered. To top it off, I couldn’t even build any appreciable amount of muscle either. To say I cursed my genetics many, many times in those 8 years is an understatement.
Now I want you to look closely at something here… look at my “after” photo, the one where in a period of a short 12 weeks I not only got into the best shape of my life, but also allowed me to beat over 220,000+ contestants and win the 1998 Physique Transformation Challenge. 
What made the difference? I mean, I’m sure it must seem impossible to you that in only 12 weeks I could so dramatically change when 8 years previous I’d be as likely to gain weight as I was to lose it. I felt the same way until I experienced in fact this was real. So real it was documented in print, in writing, and even on video.
So by now you must be wondering what made the difference – how did I “really” change my body so rapidly AND dramatically. I reveal these secrets in my “Blueprints To Fitness Success” Manual AND I WANT TO GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE! I’ve always felt that when someone discovers something so powerful that it can change lives he owes it to the world to give everyone the chance to take advantage of it. Well, here I am, and I’m here to pay what I owe…
I know that many of you reading this now have struggled for years to get the body you’ve always wanted. I feel your pain… because I was there too. But no longer. I have found the keys to the tumbler of the locks on your body to cause fat loss to happen easily, and reliably. And I want to give them to you, right here, right now. No strings, no charge, no ulterior motives. Use these blueprints with any fitness program you like to amplify and magnify the results you can achieve.

Neil,
Great job my friend! Congratulations! I know the feeling you’re going through right now. Kind of a mixture of shock, disbelief, and pure elation. I’m sure you deserved it. I’d like to see your photos, maybe even interview you, one BFL champ to another. I’m sure we could provide folks with lots of good information on how they could transform their bodies.
