MIKE LIPOWSKI

Mike Lipowski is a competitive natural bodybuilder
and International Association of Resistance Trainers (IART)
Certified Fitness Clinician. He also holds a college
degree in Physical Education. Mike is also co-founder of
Team H.I.T., an online community and forum for
competitive and aspiring bodybuilders who utilize High
Intensity Training as their primary training
methodology. Mike is now the Owner of Pure Physique
Personal Training Studio In New York and is also the
author of PURE PHYSIQUE: How to MAXIMIZE Fat-loss and
Muscular Development and a writer for Natural
Bodybuilding & Fitness magazine as well as having
written for numerous other health & fitness publications
locally, nationally, and world-wide. As a competitive
bodybuilder, Mike has alot of experience, including the
2002 INBF Natural Hercules International ( BantamWeight,
3rd place), 2005 INBF Natural Hercules International (
BantamWeight, 3rd place), 2006 INBF Northeast America (BantamWeight,
2nd place) and 2007 INBF Naturalmania Nationals (BantamWeight,
2nd place). It took Mike alot of years and knowledge to
attain these results in competitions. In high school his
focus was on sports, particularly lacrosse, which got
him into a good college, and wrestling, which he first
started in 2nd grade and participated in every year
until he graduated high school. However, even with that
busy sports schedule, Mike could always find time to
weight train. Through his many years of weight training,
Mike uncovered what he believes to be the secrets of a
successful training routine. Upon graduating from
college, Mike got a job at a one-on-one personal
training facility that followed the Nautilus training
philosophy. It was here that he began to unlearn much of
what he was taught in college and most especially muscle
magazines. He was now beginning to find what he had
always looked for - the truth about bodybuilding. From
there he moved to another gym because he had learned as
much as he could from that first facility and had
thirsted for greater knowledge. It was at this second
gym that Mike was lucky enough to meet other HIT
trainers who introduced him to the writings of the IART,
Mike Mentzer, and Super Slow. He soon became consumed in
all the information that was made available to him and
his training philosophy quickly became rational and
logical and his body became evidence of such. But even
these results where short lived as he got deeper and
deeper into the protocol of ever increasing intensity,
decreasing volume and decreased frequency. Soon his
physique began to regress and his dreams of the "comic
book Super-Hero physique" disappeared altogether.
Knowing that there was still much to learn, Mike decided
to undertake the IART Level II course. The process of
obtaining his certification was demanding and at the
same time enjoyable as the truth was soon becoming
clear. The improvements made in his clients were
evidence of the effectiveness of this newfound
knowledge. However there was a bonus that came along
with his studies. Mike's training protocol changed and
his body followed. Soon, the dream of the "comic book
physique" started to come back to Mike and he realized
that such a physique might be unattainable for him but
he was sure as hell going to keep trying. He began to
compete in natural bodybuilding contests. This alone was
a dream that he never thought possible until he
developed his new training and nutrition protocols under
the IART guidelines. Unfortunately most natural contests
don't have a bantamweight division (143 lbs. and under)
so in his first two shows he didn't place being one of
the smallest competitors. In his third show, which did
have a bantam class he placed 4th. More importantly, at
each show (all 2 weeks apart from each other) he
improved upon his physique and learned more about his
body. With that, Mike's saw great improvements to his
physique and improved results in competitions. We met
Mike at the 2007 Naturalmania show, and he looked great.
