AboutBrad J Loomis Expertise I am a WNBF professional bodybuilder and fitness trainer who is well versed in Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology. I am equally well versed in muscle hypertrophy and fat reduction. I have coached male, female, and teenage competitors all to top 5 finishes, 2 with class wins. Competition prep and posing are other subjects I love to teach. I am very good with nutrition, but will admit that I am not a dietician. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Radiologic Science, a Personal Training Certification with the IDEA Health and Fitness Association and am a certified RKC (Russian Kettlebell Challenge) Instructor. I am most knowledgeable in Anatomy, kinesiology and Exercise Execution, especially Compound and Isolation free weight exercises. I also love to answer questions about motivation.
Experience I have won 3 overall titles with the ABA/INBA and several class wins. In August 2008 I won the Overall title for the INBF Washington State Natural Bodybuilding Championships earning my WNBF Pro Card. I have owned and operated "Healthy Bodies Fitness" in Portola, CA for 6 years. During that time I have taught literally hundreds of clients in nearly every way. You name it and I have used it as an avenue for coaching/teaching. One on one personal training, seminars, 10 week challenges, week long courses, group training, step aerobics, what ever it takes to spread the word of health and fitness and keep my business thriving in a small community. I have also authored a book "Design your own NUTRITION" which is being represented by ST Literary Agency.

Expert: Brad J Loomis Date: 7/18/2008 Subject: Need to get muscle :)
Question Hey, I am a 15 year old from england. My biceps are currently at 12 inches and I really want to be big. My weight plates weigh up to 50kg and I have the bar/bench to work on. My brother has been following advice from David Dickeson on here for strength, I am after pure muscle. I currently lift and hold the weight for 60 seconds (is this effective?) And I have cut back to 7 pounds adding on 1 pound each week because I hit a pleateu. Would be great if you could share your muscle building tips :) thankyou.
Answer Hi Luke and thank you for writing in.
You need to learn the proper lifting techniques, nutrition and supplementation for growing muscle. I can teach you all that in about a couple of months. Here is a better suggestion though. Do what I did and log on to www.ast-ss.com and sign up for the FREE Max-OT course. It is a 12 week course that will outline everything from your workouts to your nutrition and supplement recommendations. It is the only way to go in my opinion and what got me 6 Natural Body Building titles. Best of all it is FREE, so go there today.
