I would like to extend a warm welcome to all individuals who have
signed up as members. In this forum I will introduce myself as keep
you abreast on what going on in my life.

I will also go into my fitness and art philosophies and explain how
they have allowed me to grow physically and mentally.

Membership participation is encouraged so I will make it a point to
answer some of the questions I am asked about what I do. I figure a
bi-monthly answer of 3-4 questions will allow you to see what I've
been up to. If you have questions about my bodybuilding, my strength
training methods, nutrition, my artistic style, my goals and
aspirations, then post a question.

In this forum I will tell you like it is, at least according to my
own life experience. As a result I hope that this will shave years
of your own quest to realise your own physical goals.

I encourage you to post whats on your mind, as long as it's tapered
by respect. I guess that's it then, it's off to the races then.

Lawrence

Hello all,

Here's some info on who I am, what I do, what I have been up to, etc.

My name is Lawrence Hosannah and I was born in London, Englandia, UK

I'm 34 years young

Race: consider myself human I guess

Strong athletic background: Rugby, Soccer (or as the Brits say
Football), Cricket, Gymnastics, Terain running, and of course that
great American urban past time handball

Artist: Primary talent, have been creating since I was an embryo.
Commissioned at early age for murals, logo design. Work with a
variety of materials, can draw anything. Right now I'm working on
illustrations for a fitness book (also working on my own muscle
building book illustrations). Just recieved a commission to do
murals for Saks Fifth Avenue Department stores in NYC.

Will get into toy design, as well as more book illustration. Will
start researching vehicle airbrush painting.

Graffiti: 7 years of active duty as a graffiti artist in the mid-
80's to early 90's. Known in the region of Corona, Elmhurst, Jackson
Hts, and East Elmhurst Queens. Accomplished many roof top pieces.
Designed pieces, record jackets, etc. for various rap artists.

Recently designed 2 pairs of airbrushed boots for rapper Ludakriss
as well as some airbrushed t-shirts.

Came to this country in 83 with family.
Lived in Brookyn first (heard my first gun shots there), then moved
to Queens later.

Education: formative years in England, William Parker school in
Hastings England, very strict school, faculty expected a lot so
students produced a lot. Good start.

American Education: not as good, various schools in Queens. Learnt
more from pushing myself to learn as well as from those around me.

Family: 3 brothers all artists (the gene is strong), mom, dad,
cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews, etc. No kids.

Married: not yet looking for the right woman.

Bodybuilding: always been interested in being strong and muscular.
In a school play when i was about 10 years old I played the
strongman of a circus, lepoard skin and tights and all.

Did'nt start lifting weights till I was about 17 years old, the
reason was that I had occured an injury at birth that had caused
some weakness in my right shoulder and arm (due to shortening) as I
aged it became obvious so due to vanity and survival I decided to
strengthen it.

I was a big baby, almost 11lbs. got stuck in my mothers birth
shoulder dislocated and was never reset, so much for gental
beginnings.

I've been training for 16-17 years with weights. I started off at
about 155lbs and over time got up to a high of 230ish. Tooka lot of
food, right now I'm around 210ish or so.

Training philosophy: this has evolved over years of training and
research. Started of with very high volume methods (3 hour workouts
were not uncommon). Even tried a 12 hour workout twice (24 mini
workouts done every 1/2 hour). Experimented with a large vairety of
training methods, super slow, fast speed, partial rep, full reps,
high volume, low volume, different body part splits, etc.

Eventually arrived at the conclusion that real muscular growth was
realised via brief and infrequent workouts for most of the year. So
nowadays I train 2-3 times a week in the offseason and more
frequently inseason.

Train for strength, let the muscle take care of itself.

Lots of compound movements, not a lot of isolation exercises.

Squats and deadlift are the most important exercises for me.

Right now I squat 765 for 10 reps, and 700 for 20 reps. Have done
much more. My range is not parallel but slightly above to emphasize
quads and deemphasize my glutes which growth fast.

Nutrition: Lots of food most of the time. Modeate protein (150-180
grams of protein each day). Lots of carbs (not a huge fan of the
keto style diets).

Steriods: don't agree with using them, specifically people who's
bodies are still going through puberty and women. Of course they do
have their medical uses.

Competition: I have competed in 2 natural shows and 2 untested
events. NPC, and NGA organizations.

Currently prep for the Superbody in Miami. So I'm busting my butt to
chisel in the details.

Goals: To extend my knowledge via books, seminars, and other
methods. To learn more always.

Life goals: To expand outwards in all positive areas of my life. To
assist my friends, family, and less forunate in reaching their
goals. To travel the world and learn from various people and
cultures.

That's not all but that's what came to my mind thus far, I'll leave
the questions up to you. I'll also make it a point to keep you
updated on what I'm doing with my life.

I want to take the time to thank everyone, especially the highest
power who has supported me in my quests.

Thankyou

Darn it though! I wanted to be your number one fan!!

Hey man, just checked out the website. Congratulations! Sorry that I
missed you when you came out to California recently. Took the wife and
kids to Disneyland for the Memorial Day weekend (had a blast by the
way!!). Anyway, keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more
great things come from you. Hit me up soon when you have a free minute.
Peace.

Jacques

I'm really proud of you Lawrence. The website is tight...nothing less
of what I expected to see from you. Good things happen to good people,
but greater things happen to people that are exceptional like you.

Your friend always,

Jacques,
You put your wife and kids before me, shame on you man. Had a great
time in Oakland, San Fran area. Heading out to Miami, in a few weeks
for the Superbody.This week I'm working on a mural, I'll call you soon
dude.

Best,

Lawrence

Whats up Wyatt,

Thanks for the support. Yeah the website took sometime, but it's up
now, which is excellent. We have got to meet up. My schedule has been
extremely busy, working on murals, illustrating books, designing
posters, building my portfolio, competition, photo shoots, travel, etc,
etc..

I asked for it and got it I guess, maybe I should ask for some peace
and quiet.

Naw, that won't do.

Will call you soon.

Lawrence

I just completed eight 4 by 6ft artistic boards for a window display
at Saks and fifth avenue. The pieces are in the front of the window,
and the topic is farthers day.

I had a lot of fun putting them together as well as a fair degree of
hard work. These pieces were completed in 30 hours or so, and I am
happy how they came out.

If any one lives in the NYC area go check them out (between 50th and
49th streets at fifth avenue) I'll take some pictures and post them
here.

Today I let my body rest I have been training in some form or fashion
for the last 10 days straight (last minute precontest preperations),
along with the art work, and consultation clients, as well as family
issues I felt a little tired today. So I spent it relaxing with some
friends. There was'nt much chance for relaxation as they have a 2
year and 4 year old (boys) and these are menaces (all in a good way).
They did'nt allow me to relax.

Tomorrow I'll do some speed walking for 30 minutes or so, off road,
what I call excursion walks. This involves walking up hills, over
rocks, branches, climbing sometimes, basically walking on rough
terain. It's fun and different from what I'm used to.

I'll also carb load tomorrow, I have a leg day coming up, I'm loading
the squat bar to 700lbs and will do 20 repetitions. I feel very
strong going into this show, and feel good at 210lbs.

The Superbody will be a strong show to do.

Law

I just thought I would post a message here to let folks know that in
the shoot with Lawrence, I think we not only had a great shoot, but
actually got about 8 photos that may turn out to be seriously
significant ones headed into museums.

We did a lot of what I would call "modeling" photos -- Lawrence is a
great model, very expressive, full of ideas.  A shoot with him is
truly a collaboration.  He's an extremely creative guy, and as a team
I think we successfully expressed a lot of things photographically
that will be unique, powerful, and significant in bodybuilding
photography.

Many bodybuilding photographers are far more advanced technically than
I am -- my hat's off to their technical wizardry -- but are working in
a deadly boring fashion, just taking the same old front double biceps
shots again and again and again.  But I think that Lawrence and I
worked hard and successfully expressed a great deal more intellectual
content in what we produced than you'll ever see in the usual
magazines.

He's great to work with, and I hope to have another similar shoot with
him next year.

It's rare for a photographer to extend himself as much as Richard has.
He truly loves what he does and it shows in his work. Richard extended
himself well beyond what was necessary and as a result we had an
extremely productive photoshoot. He sets a new standard in bodybuilding
photography. If you want to see powerful work check out his website at

Tips for fat loss (part 1)

Here are a few basics on fat loss,



Fat loss is simple and can be achieved by applying certain
principles that apply to all human beings (we all respond to the
influence of nutrition and exercise in varying degrees. as a result
some people achieve faster and greater progress than others; this
same principle applies to most adaptations in life, for example some
humans tan darker than others, and some no matter what won't tan as
well. Despite this observation we all must encounter ultra violet
rays if we wish to get darker the rule is the same for everyone,
with little variation).

Remember that a pound of fat contains 3500 calories so you would
have to be eating 10500 additional calories a week (or 1500
additional calories a day) to gain 3 lbs of fat. If you wish to shed
these extra pounds simply reduce your carbohydrate intake by half of
what you currently eat, and reduce your intake of foods that contain
a lot of sodium (some of these are cold cuts, potato chips, fries,
salted nuts, etc.). Vitamin C 1000mg or more is also a natural
diuretic. Read the following info then follow my instructions to a
tee listed at the end:



1. To burn fat your body must be in a caloric deficit.

2. Creating a deficit of 500 calories a day will lead to a pound
lost a week until your body reaches maintenance level. For most
people a pound a week of fat loss is a good number to aim for, of
course those who are drastically overweight may lose weight more
expediently (providing that they have no metabolic issues) when
beginning a fitness program but results will slow down as they get
closer to their ideal weight.

3. Once it has reached maintenance level reduce your calories by 100
to 500 calories to burn more fat (don't reduce below 1100-1200 cals
per day)

4, Lifting weight builds muscle. Muscle requires energy to maintain
itself; a typical person burns an additional 50 calories a day for
every pound of muscle they gain. If you build 5lbs of muscle you
will burn approximately 250 additional calories a day. That is why
the most effective fat loss plans include weight training. Cardio
vascular activity also burns calories during activity, and also may
allow the body to mobilize more fat at rest. All being said exercise
combined with proper nutrition is a potent blend for burning body
fat.

5. Caloric deficit can be achieved in various ways these are:

  a. Reduce caloric intake

  b. Exercise (build muscle and burn calories)

  c. Reduce calories and Exercise

  d. Other methods such as shivering, drinking cold water, taking
certain herbs and drugs also speed up metabolism but some of these
can be dangerous.

My contest preparation (Musclemania Superbody in Miami)

Only a week and a half left to go before the Superbody, I'm training
intensely and progressively. Right now I weigh in at a lean 210lbs a
full 5lbs over my last competition weight. Tomorrow is leg day so I
carbohydrate loaded to lift maximum weight. I'll get to Miami 1 day
before the event, should be fun.

My Books

I have written 4 books on building a boulder sized chest, a
mountainous back, steel cord arms and turtle back abdominals. These
books will be available on my website soon.

  Each book goes into the important principles on how to ramp up
muscle gains and acquire peak levels of ripped muscle. Each book
includes diagrams and illustrations on optimal form of exercises.
Schematics of body anatomy as well as full routines for specific
goals. Thes ebooks are geared towards acheiving outstanding natural
development without the aid of potentially harmful anabolic drugs.
I'll keep you posted on these exciting books.



Send this information to a friend

Forward these tips to a friend who wants to acheive peak results or

Today I also worked on my art portfolio I'm doing an illustration of
Matsui from the NY Yankees, very detailed.

Went to visit my niece and nephew today also.

Visited some old friends.

Overall I feel good going into this show, I'm definitely going to be
bigger at this show that any of the others I have done. Conditioning
wise I have been sharper but I still have about 5 days to squeeze
excess water out. After this one I'll focus more on my art career
and my books.

Will also be doing the Musclemania worlds at the end of the year
(November).

I recently took some pictures in the Oakland/San francisco area, I had
the oppurtunity to work with photographer Richard Goodman on over 1600
pics!

To take a look at some of these pictures got to www.musclephotos.com

Today I did some high rep upper body work to burn some extra
calories and increase glycogen re-uptake. Sets were done in superset
fashion antagonistic muscle groups (example chest and back).

Allergies still on a roll, oh well handle it.

Tomorrow I'll do a heavy back and shoulder workout:

I have planned the following program

T-bar rows ( 3-4 warmup sets) 2 work sets with 9-45lb plates
possibly drop sets also
Neutral grip lat pulldowns 1 work set starting at 300lbs and
dropping down to 50lbs (5-6 drops)
One arm Hammer row   unsure have not done these in a few weeks
possibly around 400lbs
straight arm cable pushdowns 240lbs
Seated smith machine press to front bench on slight angle (warmup 1
set) 1 work set 415lbs include drop sets
high pulls 325lbs

Include posing

Possibly include speed walking



Tuesday morning: high repetition upper body pump work.

Rest Wednesday and Thursday.

Friday show time.

Friday night eat everything insight!

Today was my last heavy training day before the Superbody
Musclemania:

My allergies were still doing their thing, but I decided against
their having the upper hand.

I did back and delts today, and was slightly rushed because I had a
business appointment.

Heres what I scrapped together today:

T-bar rows off floor (warmups with 2-45lbs, 4-45lbs, 6-45lbs)
work set one 9-45lb x 7
work set 2 8-45lb x 10
Neutral grip lat pulldowns 295lbs x 7 drop 250 drop 200 drop 150
drop 100 drop 60
One arm row on Hammer machine 300lbs plus someone pulling against me
to provide extra resistance lots of reps
seated smith shoulder press 425lbs x 6 drop set
high pulls 325lbs x 9 reps super setted with
wide grip lat pulldowns (done slow emphasizing squeeze) 60lbs
supersetted with
push ups 50 reps

tomorrow I'll do some light body weight exercise and posing.

If you live in NYC or close by and have not had the chance to check out
my mural window pieces at Saks do so early this week. They are for a
fathers day display so will probably be up until Friday of this week.

I will be doing the Superbody this weekend coming up, for more
information check out www.musclemania.com
It's going to be a good show 500 competitors told I was (working on my
Yoda style speech pattern)

Your support and presence will be appreciated, If you can't make it
that's okay too

After I get back from the show I will be interviewing hard hitting
photographer Richard Goodman. I'm going to get Richard to give away his
trade secrets and his camera. Richard has photographed the best natural
bodies on the planet (myself included) (kidding). This interview will
be very informative.

Also lined up is an interview with Paul reinzo who designed my website,
this man has designed the webpages of some of the biggest names in
bodybuilding, so it will be a very good interview.

On Tuesday I did a light workout, with emphasis on glycogen depletion.
Here's what I did:

pushups 5 sets of 60-30 reps
supersetted with
door rows 5 sets 30 reps

walking lunges 5 sets of 100 reps

Law

Today was weigh in and orientation at the Superbody.

A good overall turnout of talent specifically in the middle weight
class.

I weighed in at 205lbs. And measured my arms at 19.75 inches last
night. Conditioning was good.

Lots of lovely ladies present, wow.

Lots of outstanding nautral physiques also.

Some photo shoots also were done. Overall very positive except for a
few things that I did'nt agree with, when you are in Rome I guess..

Tomorrow will be the pre judging and comparisons.

Tonight I'll put on the night shade lotion, and practice posing.

Where do I begin, I can begin here

The Superbody in Miami had a huger turn out of competitors and
press. The quality of natural physiques were the best that I have
seen in a natural show.

The competition was held at the Eden Roc hotel in Miami, what an
awesome place to relax and chill:

I arived at the venue ready to go, I really was not nervous, I felt
confident.

I'll give you the cons, first of my preperation (and what I heard
from other seasoned competitors and photographers:
1) I used Jan Tana competition tan, which gave me an uneven splochy
look, and also made me look very dark on stage. I had used this
product before for my first show and did'nt have a problem, but this
time it blocked out my muscularity to some degreee.

2) My conditioning was not at it's best. Being drier, and harder
would have made a great difference.

3) My presentation (posing) can be more polished.


Okay here are the pro's:
1) Overall I was one of the bigger, more muscular guys present.
2) My overall asthetics and genetics were seen as very good.
3) Once I took the tanning product off, my skin looked very good.
4) My muscles have a very dense thick look.

These were comments that I heard throughout the 3 day event.

I was not called out for the first callouts in the heavy weights, so
it became apparant that I had not made the cut. I was called out
during the second callouts, there were 8 total competitors in my
weight class.

Later on that day I did a photoshot for a up and coming clothing
line, and took some pictures on the beach with some ladies.


Overall it was a good learning experience.

I must say that most of the competitors in my class were very good.
One competitor in partcular weighed in at a solid 247lbs at a height
of 6.2 ft, with room to grow. what a freak.

The syemetry iof the heavy weights, in most instances was very good.

Friday night I washed the Jan Tana off, and made a pact to not use
it again, don't need it.

Arrived early to the venue, so I took a long sun tan walk along the
beach. My color looked very good.


Had a chance meet some people on the beach and encourage them in
their own fitness endeavors, also tooks some most muscular pictures
with some kids, that was fun.

began preping for the hwy weight class some time around 9:00pm, it
would have been earlier but the show had to be paused because there
was a Jewish wedding going on in the adjacent hall to the one in
which the competition was being held, and there was an issue about
the loud music from the show.

Had the chance to meet some positive blokes from London, Uk, nice
chaps and outstanding competitors. I quizzed them on the science of
precontest preperation; basically covered issues such as water
manipulation, sodium intake, carbs, etc.

Had the chance to meet Morris Mendez, a true professional, much
respect.

For the night show there was a pose down, and then the selection of
the 5 finalists, I did not make the finals, I'll be back.

Like I said the experience was very positive, I made lots of
contacts, and learned a great deal about preperation.

Tomorrow I have a phtoshoot with Mostmuscular.com

I'll chill with some friends tomorrow also

When I get back to New York, I'll take a few days off from training
then begin planning for the unvailing of a shredded, dry, hard,
massive physique at the Musclemania Worlds, in November.


What I have learnt from this experience:
If you are new or have been away from and experience for a while,
prepare more in advance.

I'm bigger and more symetrical than I thought, when it comes to
being natural. My training method has paid off in dense muscle mass,
well shaped mass, so now it's a matter off taking out the sculptures
tools and creating the finished look that seperates all masterpieces.

I arrived back in NYC late last night. Overall I had a positive
experience at the Superbody. Met some new people and learnt a bit
about precontest preparation.

At this time my primary focuses are on getting my books out to the
public as well as growthing my artistic skills and career. For the
next few months I'll be illustrating for a clients up and coming
fitness book, as well as work on leveraging myself into a position
in which I can illustrate lucratively.

One thing that I knew before, but has become more apparant is that
it is impossible to put 100 percent into all endeavors at once. That
is why I have set up my goals in phases. Even so it has been
difficult to put the needed attention on all my goals. So right now
my primary focuses are my art and my book publishing, along with the
upkeep of my website and fan site.

I will take the week of from training and begin building back up
after that. Concerning my bodybuilding goals, I will push for a
greater level of conditioning for my next bodybuilding competition,
which I have not 100 percent decided on at this time.

6. The most effective method for permanent fat loss is a lowered
calorie diet, sufficient water intake, weight training,
cardiovascular exercise, and sufficient rest (studies have shown fat
burning hormone leptin declines in people who get insufficient
sleep).

7. Lean muscles become more developed from progress resistance done
intensely then allowed to rest, recover, and super-compensate. More
is not better, less is not better, and the amount that you can get
stronger on a week-to-week basis without burning out is ideal.

8. Cardiovascular activity supports weight loss and can be done more
often than weight training because it is not as intense. An hour of
hard Jogging burns about 400-500 calories; an hour of walking will
burn less. Even when it comes to cardiovascular activity it is
necessary to periodically increase your intensity slightly. 30
minutes done intensely is better than 1 hour done easily. But
intense cardio (intervals) takes longer to recover from so the
answer is to alternate high intensity cardio with easier cardio from
session to session,

9. When exercise is carried on for too long at an intense level the
quicker the body will burnout and start storing fat. The thing is
that training above an easy or moderate threshold is a requirement
for rapid fat loss. This is where you must listen to your body if
you feel tired, lethargic, angry, depressed, have aches and pains,
and don't want to train suspect over training. If this occurs simply
reduce your intensity and volume until your vigor returns.

10. The most important factor in a weight loss diet are to be in a
slight caloric deficit (minus 250-500 calories each day). Other than
that a balanced plan of unprocessed foods in the general ratio of 30
percent protein, 20 percent fat, and 50 percent carbohydrates works
very well. If you wish to reduce your water retention reduce your
carbohydrate percentage to approximately 40% and increase your
protein to 40%. Protein has a slight diuretic effect.

11. You should be eating to satisfy, and maybe even less. This means
that when your next meal or snack comes around you should be hungry.
If you are not then you probably are not burning all your calories
between meals, and if this is not occurring your body has no reason
to unlock stored body fat.

12. If you eat to little your body will store fat, the trick is to
supply slightly less than what it needs. Once again you must be
slightly hungry when you go to eat your next meal


I would like to add that the key to permanent fat loss is change in
lifestyle, in order to keep fat off you must change how you view
food, what stresses you out, how you react to stress, your overall
mindset. Fat loss should not be a fad, or just to get in shape for
an event, but a sustained goal of acheiving overall fitness and
vigor. As a result fatloss is a small part of the equation of total
health and welbeing.

Right now I feel great at 34 years old, I feel as if I can take on
the world, I feel strong, healthy, vigorous, and sexy. I feel
powerful, driven, and what ever life throws my way I know I can
handle if I take a positive and progress atitude about it.

If there is one piece of advice I would say is more important than
all else it is strengthening the mind strengthens the body, and
strengthening the body strengthens the mind, so it is important to
train and demand more from both.

I would like to extend the invitation for membership participatation (I
think that's correct!)
If you send me your questions on building muscle and might, getting
cut, or reaching goals, I will answer them here. I can't answer them
all but will select ones that I believe most members would wnat an
answer to.

Also female membership is encouraged, it's good to soften the corners
on the square.

Lawrence

What you ingest has a great impact on your muscle gains, I had the
chance to speak with Richard Goodman who has worked for a famous Sports
preformance labratory. He schooled me on the importance of minerals and
how they can help traines build faster, get stronger, and prevent
injury. This perked my interest and I did some research, it seems that
we might be undernourished in terms of minerals, go to the following
link to learn more about this interesting topic
