 best speakers that I've ever seen and the sad thing was I didn't listen to him for years you know I was able to lose 40 pounds at times actually you could say 50 pounds in 2008 when I spoke I was close to 200 pounds about well you guys are on on that other thing but but no man I lost like a quarter of my weight you know by switching my diet working out with some of the best fitness people and having information on some of the best fitness and diet and even doctors so what we got today is Mark October auto break man yeah out of break I'm so sorry but the the thing is is he's talking about some of the ways to treat your body the way that you should right supplementation fitness the importance of it and the mentality of why you would need to live with that mindset and make your life better I'll tell you this before I bring them on stage what I've noticed in these conventions what guys walk away with the most it has nothing to do with stuff that I say I wish I wish it was it has everything to do with what guys have done with their fitness body and lifestyle and that's going to come from the guys like this so come on stage man I'm excited to hear take it away brother thank you all for having me here you could be anywhere in the world but you're here with me today so you know big props and big thanks so my name is Mark a tobey or otherwise known as Maximus Mark I have a blog and obviously I'm the owner of Enterprise Fitness which is a personal training company before we get rolling I just want to make mention to a couple of things which is in context I just want to know so I can kind of deliver a more tailored speech for you guys today who in the room is more after the I guess health point of view of wanting to know what they need to do with a health just by a show of hands okay who would be more interested in hearing about I guess the performance aspect of how do I increase my bench press how do I increase you know get six pack all these other things so it's probably more towards the performance and fitness which is good to know good information so we'll get rolling so firstly about me why do you want to listen to me for the next hour well I'll tell you my story in brief so I can give you as much content as possible this was me as the fat kid at school I was always picked last sport I wasn't particularly athletic at all by any means wasn't particularly good at school very low self-confidence about myself and the reason that I love sharing health and fitness the reason I do is because of the fact that this is where I started and this was the vehicle for me to transform my life for some of the other speakers the vehicle for them to transform their life was you know learning about pick up and all the other things but for me it was health and fitness so that's pretty much what I've dedicated to my life to ever since my first I have a fair bit of experience in terms of bodybuilding competitions this was my very first bodybuilding competition I weigh about 68 kilos 87 kilos any day of the week this was me at just 68 kilos moments away from hospitalization before my first bodybuilding comp so when I say I did everything that you could possibly do wrong learning about health and fitness I did everything possibly you do wrong I mean after my first comp I put on 14 kilos in the space of three days yeah so I wasn't particularly healthy which was the void and please write this down your voids in life dictate your values okay so if you don't have health you will search for health if you don't have money you will search for money okay if you don't have women in your life you're gonna search for women so your voids dictate your values so for me it was health and fitness it was performance so that motivated me that inspired me to go out and learn as much as I could I wanted to be the authority in the world to really get this message across of how to do things the right way so I competed a few other times this was my last comp that I did which was in 2007 and I've got to be honest with you guys competing as much it was fun at the time that I did it you know I don't compete anymore it's I rather focus on the strength sports getting my squad up my deadlift up that's what's more inspiring to me however I do this some photos of me here just recently taken that's me lifting I think it's about 200 kilos 210 kilos on a fat bar at a strongman comp which which I won the under 90 kilo division so you know I train and you know for me it is all about performance but since then and learning what I've learned and the lessons along the way around nutrition I've been able to create quite a fair bit of success for my clients these are some of the clients who I train and coach this is actually Janet Kane Janet Kane's the four-time Miss Australia three-time Miss Olympia so she is you know quite bonafide she's the best female figure competitor in Australia one pretty much every title that the IMBA has to offer and that's her just winning her fourth Australian title with me backstage at one of our comps I coached six girls this year and I do do a lot of work with fitness girls so figure and competing physique competitor so fitness models at one of the comps I had three girls compete they all wanted the divisions so you know the methods work that's why beautiful fiance Christine she competed as well she won her division Caroline won the fitness model division Linda she won the intermediate the same comp these are other girls that I've worked with so list goes on and on Amanda she won the VIX this year Lauren transformed her body completely as you can see Jenny she was a mum of four Marshall was actually in the room and he met me at 21% body fat now he sits at about 13 he got down in those photos is about 8.6 the reason why I showed this another guy he actually interesting story with this guy he met me around 2006 I taught him my philosophy around nutrition which is what I'm gonna essentially teach you guys today and he went over to Vegas to be a DJ and he essentially someone said to me you look good basically why don't you do some modeling he did some modeling and now he works as a model in Las Vegas you know not bad two-time mr. Australia Tristan boys who I used to work coach in 2009 Eros is actually one of our trainers at Enterprise Fitness this transformation was eight months this is Aiden more boys that I've coached to be on stage so the reason why I show you that those photos is not to you know look wow look at all these photos you need to get in that shape no no it's too impressive on you that you know what I'm gonna teach you guys today in the philosophy you can pretty much tailor it to whatever level that you want and that is right for you it's not about competing on stage you know it's seriously not it's not the point that I'm trying to get across it's about you maximizing your own health and fitness so before we get rolling one of my philosophies and I see this a lot and I mean there's probably some of the other coaches who and speakers who spoke yesterday who kind of James Marshall definitely this morning touched on this topic and people come in and they come to see me and they want to know what to do because they want to have the result now I'm gonna present to you guys it's not about what you do and it's not about what you have it's about the person that you become okay so there's a formula and essentially I'll just write this formula over here and that is B as you can see on the board do and have now a lot of people say to me you know Mark I want to have a great body I want to have the six pack I want to have all that what do I have to do now that's working with someone on a very superficial level because the fact is and I'll speak in someone at lunch I can give you a 12 week in this case it was a ketosis diet I can give you a 12 week ketosis diet you can lose a whole bunch of weight but if you're not the person mentally to maintain and sustain those results you're gonna screw it up it's like 97% of lottery winners you know go broke within three to five years okay after winning the lottery why because they're not that person so in your quest for knowledge don't look at things that you have to do to have the result look at the person that you have to become okay and it's really super mega important because let's face it the person that I am does not allow me to go to McDonald's okay it does not allow me to use things like canola oil margarine even drink Coca-Cola and people will say oh you know you have a restrictive diet I don't have a restrictive I eat whatever the hell I want whenever the hell I want it's because the what's between my ears is the person who I am I have a healthy identity about myself and a healthy relationship with food I am someone who loves to be physically active so that is what I'll encourage and that is what I that's the main goal of this presentation is to get that obviously there's things that you have to do around that but once you be that person it becomes very very easy almost effortless so there are four factors into getting the body that you want okay there's nutrition training supplementation and the key one is the mindset and that's what I just touched on before okay that is key who do you be you know what does a healthy person do okay if I was this healthy person what actions would I do then the actions when you have the result that you want to have an almost seamlessly overnight you'll have lost 10 kilos or put on some weight or whatever the case may be so my favorite analogy in terms of teaching all this stuff and teaching nutrition I just put this down is this analogy here because it kind of puts in perspective I guess my philosophy around what and how we were designed to eat and the foods that we should eat so we all know Australian rules football at least I think we all know hands up for those who know Australian rules football okay can't the pies I didn't beg for the pies but most people do so why not okay so Australian rules football basically the overall looks like that now what I'm going to use this as a reputation representation of is the time frame in which the human species has been on the planet now there are people that will argue the human species has been on the planet for as much as 15 million years or other people who will say no no no it's only 2 million years so the argument sake will just say this whole oval represents the past 5 million years of human evolution okay so if we all go to the MCG today and we walk from here all the way up to this gold square here and I just move this yeah yeah move this in the side sorry yep easy so if we walk all the way up to this tiny little gold square here that represents pretty much you know most people say well you know maybe 4.5 or even 4.9 million years okay that that whole time that whole field there if we look at this tiny little gold
