| 6/16/05 Hey all! Thanks for visiting. Well, it's been a tough act in juggling my preparation for the Muscelmania Superbody Pro division in Miami this month, taking care of the family, and kicking it up 5 notches at Genetica (we've got some awesome stuff going on at the DNA Lab)! But, hard work usually produces great results! As for the training, I'm coming in harder and fuller than any show I've ever done. I know a lot can happen in the next week leading up to a show, but I believe I've got everything under control. Beverly International is awesome in helping me come in top shape condition, and under their guidance, I believe I'll be able to even get a little harder in the next week and maintain the size. My workouts have been some of the best leading up to the show, with tremendous pumps and still feeling strong. I'll post a few of my training pics below in a few days. Wish me luck! As for the modeling, Muscle and Fitness flew me to Los Angeles again just last week. This time it's for the inside of the mag. They are doing a special story on ab exercises, so I got to be the "ab" model. I felt this really helped me for my preparation for Musclemania. I sometimes slack on abs, knowing they come in in decent condition with diet alone. But this time, because of the ab photo shoot, I had been training them pretty intensely-and still am. They are definitely looking better than ever. Look for the ab article in their August or September issue (on stands in July or August). In case you're interested, the Cincinnati Enquirer did a nice little story on me as well. Click here to read the article. That's it for now-I'll update you soon. Shoot me an e-mail if you get a chance. bwief@fuse.net Brian |
| Hey all, 6/29/05 Just wanted to give an update on my trip to the Musclemania Superbody in Miami. The trip was actually a blast. I got to spend time with my wife, my brother and his wife, and two other great friends of ours. The show, well, that's another story. I'll start with the show. I have to be totally honest with myself and say I came in no where close to my condition as I did earlier in the year at the NPC Northern Kentucky show. I guess you can say I was "burnt" from competing and training for the Northern, two Muscle and Fitness shoots, and one other photo shoot, and then dieting and training for the Superbody. Everything from the Northern in March, to the Superbody last week, was so spread out, that I was constantly trying to stay "ripped". I was burnt, probably over training, at times under eating (my fault for not following the advice of my mentor, Roger at Beverly) and then on some days leading up to the show I was overeating trying to make up for the loss in muscle. So, with that said, I finished terrible, finishing 9th out of ten in the Pro division. My feelings on my finish??? Yes, as I admitted, I was not near my best. But, I have to tell you that even in the condition I was in, if that show were what I feel a true bodybuilding show should be about, I would have finished in at least the top five. I don't want to discredit the Musclemania organization in anyway. I knew the rules fully before entering the show. One of the rules is that 25% of your total score is based on your posing routine. And after speaking with some of the judges, I was told that my posing routine is what "hurt" me. It's not that I'm a bad poser. I've actually been awarded "best poser" in a show before. It was two things that I really have a hard time accepting in bodybuilding today. The first is the length of the routine. The pro's have up to 3 full minutes to pose, and are expected to use the whole amount. And to be honest, most pro's use more than that. I on the other hand used a more traditional 60 second routine (actually 73 seconds). I like leaving the judges "wanting more". It obviously didn't work. I also am a classic poser. I think posing, especially in the pro division, has become more of a dance / theatrical contest. People are wearing costumes, pulling people out of the audience, and dancing as if they are in a club. I am a fan of classic poses with graceful transitions from one pose to the next. I think bodybuilding is about showing off your physique. Not scripting a play and "dancing" to it. I hope I don't sound like sour grapes. And I'd be lying if I said I was "screwed". I new the judging criteria, and really shouldn't be surprised by the results. And I'd be lying if I said I was done with Muslcemania. I think is a great forum-actually the best for the natural bodybuilder to compete and gain recognition and exposure in the fitness and bodybuilding industry. It's done a ton for me in gaining my exposure, and this weekend was no different ( I actually shot with one of the top fitness modeling agencies this weekend--see pics). Musclmania is #1 in bringing media to you! So, I guess if I decide to compete again, I just need to put a little more action and creativity (or maybe a lot more) in my routine, and next time train for a Musclemania show, and only that show. Now for the fun time I had. I'll let the pictures do the talking! Brian P.S I've got tons of more pics coming! |

| 7/7/05 You can cry over spilled milk, or you can lick it off the floor so you don't waste the protein. I've decided to do the second. What got me to such an exciting year this year so far was not smiling for camera's and making crappy money doing it. It's not finding the best music for some goofy posing routine. It's not about having the best color on stage. Yes, these things all help, but it's not what has gotten me to where I am. It's not about feeling a little tired on leg day, so you do some useless leg extensions and leg curls, and maybe a few sets of standing calves, and call it a day. It's been about training until you're about to pass out--maybe you throw up--but you come back for more. It's about walking under the squat rack, when you're not only fearful of not getting the weight up, but your fearful of fainting because on the last rep of the last set, your partner had to pick you up. But for some sick reason you enjoy it. You tell yourself it's fun. It's about watching Pumping Iron at least once a week for motivation. It's about skipping every exercise you like, and only doing the ones you hate, because you know those are the hardest and will produce the most results. Ok, enough with the soap box. As you can tell my last competition helped me "refocus". I've asked myself one question. What am I in this for? Is it the money--give me a break. Is it the fame? Until I have paparazzi's following me, I wouldn't even put my name and fame together in the same sentence. Problem is though, over the last few years I forgot about why I was doing "it". I didn't think training until I saw stars, or hugged the toilet, was important or necessary any longer. I thought it was more important to be a some star fitness model. Or to get a contract with a supplement company. Or to win the overall in a show where some of the judges have never touched a weight in their life. So what have I done to help with my refocus?... I've gone old school again. I haven't been in the gym since I've been back from Miami. Why? Because I've been training with a new partner in his basement. I haven't done the LifeCycle computer generated leg press since I've been back. Why? Because I only have a squat rack, smith machine, a rack of dumbbells, and barbells. It's "squat until you drop". It's "dead lift until your dead". It's calf raises with my partner Marty on my back holding a few 45lb plates with Ozzy cranked in the background and no one to interrupt my workouts. I have honestly had some of the best training sessions in years. I forgot what it was like to not be able to walk down the steps without holding on to the railing because otherwise I'd fall. I forgot what it was like to be so sore all over I truly didn't know if I was getting sick, or it was just deep muscle soreness from good old fashioned, heavy training. I can honestly say that up until the past few weeks, I really wasn't even enjoying to train. It was starting to feel like a job. It seamed as if I wasn't doing it for me, but for other "people". Now I train for me, and only me. Whatever happens , happens!. Gotta get some sleep. Marty and I have some crazy arm training tomorrow morning. Marty, if you're reading this, I'll see ya in your basement at 6:45 am. Brian PS I'll have some "basement training" pictures in a few days for anyone interested. Here is a photo that a photographer just emailed me from the show in Miami. |

| Brian Up Close |
| 7/30/2008 Hi. My name is Brian Wiefering. Thanks for visiting this page and learning about me, my family, and our company WieFit. I live in the beautiful city of Fort Thomas, Ky which overlooks the Ohio River and is just 5 minutes south of Cincinnati, Oh. I've been a Fort Thomas Resident my entire life, and have a wonderful family. I'm 12 years married to Heidi, and as some of you know she is the true backbone of WieFit (taking phone orders, getting shipments out right away, keeps inventory, takes care of scheduling, accounting...should I continue?). We have four wonderful daughters and are so proud of them. We live our life with four priorities in mind: 1. Faith, 2. Family, 3. Friends, 4. WieFit. And many times these overlap as we believe our Faith is why WieFit has exploded this year of 2008, and many of our WieFit clients are, or have become, our friends and a part of our lives. Two wonderful people, Roger and Sandy Riedinger, owners of Beverly international, have been incredible mentors for Heidi and me in more ways than just helping us with WieFit. They are truly two of the most honest, trusting, and caring people you will ever meet. They have become more than just mentors, and are great friends of ours. My Home Page explains what WieFit is, but to keep it short, we specialize in Nutrition programs. Where other diets fail by starving the user, our diets succeed by giving you the necessary calorie intake to stay more than satisfied, while gaining lean and tone muscle and dropping body fat. Where other programs only weigh you on a scale, and then drop your calories even more, thus starving the body, slowing your metabolism, and setting you up for failure, WieFit is a huge believer in body fat testing. The WieFit program actually increases your calories as you progress. Remember, muscle burns calories, and as you gain a little muscle (or a lot if that is your goal), we will add the additional calories to your diet to "feed that muscle"! Your body needs this and will actually help you burn more fat and burn it even faster. This is one big difference in the WieFit Diet compared to other diets, and is definitely a huge reason why people can live on the WieFit Diet compared to other diets. We help everyone from the bodybuilding and figure competitor, to the high school, college and professional athlete, to the other 90% of our clientele--the average person just wanting to lose body fat and tone up! WieFit has grown to where we have been able to hire two very knowledgeable employee's to help manage the growth. Erin Toranno, with her degree in Exercise Physiology and Area of Concentration in Nutrition, and David Pertuset who is one of the most well recognized Personal Trainers in Northern Kentucky |
| and Cincinnati, have both been valuable assets to WieFit. The WieFit program has shown such great success and demand, that we are now looking to expand to 9 area fitness centers, which will prove even more convenient for people wanting face to face consultations by having closer access to one of our WieFit Nutrition Centers. This is expected to begin in January of 2009 with more details to come! Check back often, as this is one of the pages where I can showcase articles I've written for magazines, covers I've been fortunate enough to be on, and other events WieFit is a part of. Sincerely, Brian |
