Consulting

Training & Nutrition Consultations

2010 to 2012

Lift Big Eat Big is now offering training consultations by phone for both experienced athletes and beginner athletes. The goal of the consultations is to help you reach or maintain your training goals whether it’s gaining weight, losing weight, breaking through a training plateau, or simply trying to figure out where to take your training next.  By identifying what you want to achieve, we will work with you to find the ideal fitness and nutrition plans to help you reach your goals, both long term & short term.

How it works

First, you will need to send us an introduction email explaining your training goals to see if our consultations are a good fit. Let’s face it—sometimes the goals are extremely unrealistic and we just can’t help you (i.e. add 100lbs to your squat in one week). Once we’ve agreed on attainable goals, we’ll discuss how often you want to talk, and schedule the consultations.

Most consultations will come with monthly programming at no additional cost, for as long as you continue the monthly calls. Diet and nutrition can be discussed at length during the calls, although a detailed diet plan is a separate charge of $200.

Why you need it

Sometimes it takes someone looking from the outside to identify problems with your training or food intake, and that's where we come in.  By talking with you one-on one, we will identify all the areas that can be improved in your training, as well as offering the solutions to these problems.

Outside the U.S.?
We offer Skype sessions for consultations with international athletes. Be sure to set up a Skype account (it's free) and let us know your user name in the introduction email you send us. Same rates apply in U.S. dollars.

Payment
Payment for the sessions will be done through PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, don't worry--we will send you a bill every month and you just have to enter your payment information. There's no need to sign up for a PayPal account if you do not choose to. Payments for the consultations must be made prior to the first scheduled phone call.

Here is what some readers have to say about their successful results with the LiftBigEatBig programming:

From Sam, in Florida

A little about me; my name is Sam, and I am about to turn 29 in about 5 days, I'm 5'10'' 198 lbs. as of a couple of days ago. I'm not sure where to start, but I wanted to at least send something to show my appreciation for LBEB. However, I must warn you, this may be a long message. I stumbled upon your page a while back, don't really recall exactly how long ago. I didn't really think much of it to be honest, at least at first glance. I happened to come across some of your images, especially how the athletes were eating and I thought to myself: WTF? Let me explain; I have always found it a struggle to find something that works for me, mainly due to the fact that I was looking for "something", a fix, a quick way to do something about my health, image, strength etc... I don't think I am alone in this situation when i am bombarded with terrible information about the nutrition, physical activity, and so on. Low fat this, fucking taste free this, dog shit that, spot reduction, toning and firming, swallow some magic pills and you will feel better. My medical checkups were getting worse every year as I was following the recommended diet by doctors, and the fucking government. Something about LBEB really got my attention, the team dynamics of the athletes that you have, the articles, the fans, etc... It sort of got me thinking about all the BS the doctors, and the media have always fed me and I believed in it so easily. I went against every fiber in me and did the opposite of what the docs and PTs preach. I did a lot of my research about nutrition and physical activity. I read books ranging from SS to Good Calories Bad Calories and everything in between. All the while I was following LBEB, and I even ordered a wristband since they look so badass, lol . Long story short, I cut out all my meds, I ate real fucking food ( eggs, steaks, butter, etc...), added fish oil, and a multi. I started out like a little bitch squatting 95 lbs, DLing 135 lbs, benching 135...it was not a pretty picture. I was actually really afraid and have ALWAYS been super intimidated by these barbell moves. Despite being a bitch, I wore (and still wear) that damn wristband everyday, it was a reminder of where I started and where I am now. I always had a goal of looking a certain way or "losing weight", I honestly no longer give a shit. I am a different person, i can hardly recognize who I am some days. It's not so much about looks as it is about the accomplishments that I have achieved. Certainly looks, strength, overall well being are a part of it, but I am no longer as obsessed about a single goal. LBEB maybe a business to you, it maybe a hobby, whatever it is to you, it was an eye opener for me. I just got to 415 DL, 305 squats, and so on. I may not be anywhere near all the athletes you have on the page, but I am damn proud to wear this wristband, and to feel as if I am part of great community! I can't thank you enough and the same goes for everyone else that is involved with LBEB.

From Michelle, in Washington:

I first found Lift Big Eat Big through one of their t-shirts & Facebook  page. I had been doing traditional weight lifting and was very new to it. When I visited their website I read many articles and combed through many posts and comments on their Facebook page. I knew I had found what I wanted to do (powerlifting) and truly how I wanted to transform my body. I contacted them and received an immediate response back from Brandon. We set up my consultation and that was the beginning of this great journey that I am on. Brandon set up my workouts and schedule for me. I now talk with my coach (Brandon)
every 2 weeks, we go over my progress and he answers any questions I have no matter what they are. Even though they are a few hours away from me, the distance doesn’t matter. I still get fantastic coaching. And mind you I came into this at the age of 40.
Along with getting my workouts fromLBEB, I have gained friends and a community that truly wants me to succeed. At last I will mention that I also started being overweight. I’ve lost 82 lbs as of last week and gained great muscle and I lift big and eat big. So yes, it can be done too. I’m thankful every day for my Lift Big Eat Big family.

From James, in San Diego:

I first learned of the LBEB Facebook page and blog sometime back in late July or early August when I saw that a friend had 'liked' the FB page.  As I read the various blog posts, I was amazed by the amounts of food that Brandon appeared to eat and yet, still be so skinny (sorry Brandon).  At that time, I was struggling with injuries, plateaus, and a loss of focus in my training.  I was switching my program from one method to another, searching for something that provided measurable results.  One of Brandon's posts about using the 'Texas Method' piqued my curiosity.  I did some online digging to learn about it and reached out to Brandon with some questions on diet and programming.  I was already eating a lot at this point (or so I thought) in an attempt to gain some weight.  As I said, my training was all over the board.  Brandon suggested a program to me that emphasized major muscle groups and was pretty simple for me to follow.  Since I started the program in late August, my bench press has increased 40 pounds.  I had never dialed in my nutrition and training at the same time or realized that high quality calorie consumption would play such a crucial role in my training.  I am now eating big, lifting big and drinking a lot of raw milk.  

The doors have been opened wide for continued progress.  Lift Big.  Eat Big.  Thanks Brandon!  

From Brian in Virginia:

I have followed the daily posting of, "Lifting Big and Eating Big" for approximately six months so far and have derived great benefit thus far from doing so.  I will touch on several key points that have made "Lifting Big and Eating Big" a huge success as a fitness journal thus far.
First and foremost, the journal provides daily motivational support to many.  Readers are treated to words of inspiration delivered in a no BS format designed for the lifter that strives to maximize his/her efforts in and out of the gym following a drug free protocol.  The content is delivered in a humorous and motivational way that makes the reader want to hit the gym with a vengeance.  The journal also reinforces the need for consistency in both fitness and nutrition habits thus reinforcing the daily motivation for the reader.

I respect and love the fact that the journal is not trying to be everything to everyone.  "Lifting Big and Eating Big" has found and maintains it's niche as a strength training site.  The author gives examples of how strength training can be done by all readers regardless of age, sex, experience levels and personal goals with proper application.  With so many modalities of fitness training it is easy to confuse the reader by jumping from trend to trend.  This journal is pure and consistent with the philosophical foundation of how to properly eat and train for real life goals.
One of the factors that make this journal so unique is the interactive nature of the postings.  The author answers both questions and responds to statements posted by followers in a very timely matter. Often times, many gems of information are shared to followers via open dialogue and debate between the author and said followers.  This would not be possible if it were not for the diligence of the author that must be born from a passion for the project.
And, last I would like to point out that the author does the research to provide scientifically sound information that is based on fact versus opinion and gym myth.  The content of the postings is always on par with both university and professional trade journal publications.
I recommend this fitness journal to all of my friends as I can provide personal testimony to achieving higher levels of strength, conditioning and health as a result of following and applying best practices from the journal postings along with my existing program.
