Hi I'm Lee Labrada your lean body coach. Working out and eating right takes a little discipline, but the payoff is great, in terms of a stronger, healthier body. On your journey to building the body you want, it may help you to have the guidance of people with experience.

This weeks ASK LEE question from Troy Mancha of New York is just about that...

QUESTION: Troy writes, "Lee congratulations on the great shape you've stayed in over the years. When you were starting out, did you ever rely on a mentor to help guide your training and nutrition?"

ANSWER: Troy, thanks for your kind feedback and question. It definitely helps to have mentoring role models and go-to sources of information that you can rely on. Whether it's someone that you know personally, or someone who provides support for you online, mentors can provide you with valuable feedback on your progress, recommend changes in your training and nutrition that save you months of wasted time, and provide motivation on those days when you need encouragement.

A mentor can take many forms ... It can be a personal trainer that you hire, an instructor at your gym, or even a training partner. The important thing is to recognize that seeking the advice and feedback of a respected and accomplished mentor can add another dimension to your program, and make you accountable.

Accountability shouldn't be overlooked. As I was in the process of developing my physique, I made myself accountable to my training partner. I knew that come hell or high water, I had to be at the gym on time for our workouts, or I would let him down. My training partner also provided motivation, and feedback on my progress. I did the same for him, so it was a symbiotic relationship.

I also sought the guidance of older bodybuilders with lots of competitive experience. Many of them were willing to share years of valuable competition knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable to me.

I read everything that I could get my hands on about training and nutrition, then asked lots of questions from more experienced athletes. I even worked with a professional nutritionist named Keith Klein to help me structure my diet, keep me on track and provide accountability.

Even though I know a lot about nutrition, working with another knowledgeable nutrition expert like Keith made me keep a nutrition log that we reviewed together and kept me accountable. Years later, I co-wrote a book called Get Lean with Keith Klein. Get Lean is a step by step guide to getting lean and muscular, and is available on Labrada.com.

In summary, you should surround yourself with people who are experts and that can provide encouragement and motivation when you need it. If you live in an area where such people are difficult to find, you can rely on online resources such as those provided on our Labrada Nutrition website.

I hope that you will take advantage of the resources available to you, to help speed up your results. I'm Lee Labrada, your lean body coach, stay lean and stay strong.
