Hey it’s GREAT to see YOU again! I’ve been REALLY enjoying MY MISSION so far I can see YOU are too, because YOUR still with ME! That also tells ME an IMPORTANT fact, YOUR putting a GREAT deal of TRUST in ME! Well that’s funny because that’s another IMPORTANT goal of mine, that I intend to accomplish with the GRACE of God! I’ve put MY complete TRUST in God that he will make NINO’S MISSION, into a HUGE SUCCESS for his GLORY!! I believe TRUST is something we ALL have a TOUGH time with, in today’s DIVIDED society that we live in!
MY goal here is simple I DON’T want YOU to continue to go through life ANYMORE asking YOURSELF…. Who can I TRUST? I DEFINITELY know the ONLY person I TRUST in MY life, and that’s God! I’m going to teach YOU how to start living YOUR life, putting COMPLETE TRUST in God with YOUR life situations from now on! What better person to TRUST than the ONE who gave YOU life!!
Are you ready?
Let’s get the ball rolling once again!
In MY next blog I’m going to share with YOU a situation, that had occured in MY life that really put my TRUST in God to the TEST! It was about a couple of years ago when MY life took an unexpected U-Turn, that caught ME by SURPRISE! I went to work one day and I was told that they were letting ME go, I believe the reason behind it was POLITICAL! Well as we ALL know today how our society, is politically MOTIVATED in most job sectors around the world! We NEVER expect it to happen to US…. but as I quickly found out it happened to ME! That’s when I turned to God for help, because I felt betrayed and HE was the ONLY one I could TRUST!
I truly believe that this was a WAKE-UP call from God that HE was starting, to take TOTAL control of MY life and taking it into a NEW direction! It’s AMAZING how God works at times…. HE took an UNFORTUNATE situation to teach ME a VALUABLE lesson! Would YOU like to take a wild guess on what the LESSON might be? It’s simple TRUST in GOD!! God had something else up HIS sleeve for ME…. I had ABSOLUTELY no clue on what that might be UNTIL NOW!! Would YOU like to take another wild guess….. on what that might be? Are YOU telling ME you DON’T have a clue! GEE I think it’s time for YOU to have YOUR eyes EXAMINED!! YOU’VE been looking at it this WHOLE time we’ve been together…. NINO’S MISSION!!
I SINCERELY feel the lesson that GOD wanted to teach me here, was HE made an UNFORTUNATE situation happen to give birth to NINO’S MISSION! Let ME make ONE thing clear to YOU! If I didn’t let GOD take FULL control and TRUST HIM 100 percent with MY life, I would NOT be here talking to YOU about a MISSION!! Still to this day I’m just AMAZED how GOD works!! I KNOW when the time comes…. God will OPEN that door of opportunity that I have been PRAYING for! Oh YEAH there’s another lesson God has taught me…. TRUST in HIM and HE will DELIVER! I TRULY believe that time is coming SOON!!
It’s that time again!!
I hope YOUR ready to answer THE ?? Who do YOU TRUST?
I SINCERELEY hope you’ve been taking good notes on this particular topic, because I will ONLY accept ONE answer GOD!! If YOUR still NOT sure what more do I have to do, to convince YOU! Listen I’m only trying to help YOU understand ONE thing! EVERYTHING that I have accomplished and battled through in MY life, and be where I’m at today is ONLY because I TRUSTED in God!! Wouldn’t YOU like to see the GREAT opportunities…. that God can start bringing YOU! I DEFINITELY want YOU to experience how AWESOME God can be for YOU! If YOU’VE been wondering why things HAVEN’T been going so GREAT for YOU lately, maybe YOU just found the answer!!
I DEFINITELY know that God want’s ME to make this goal a PRIORITY, to complete SUCCESSFULLY! I’m NOT at all saying that MY other goals, that I have mentioned to YOU aren’t IMPORTANT!! This is ONE area that God and I STRONGLY feel, that OUR society today is lacking in BIG TIME!! I SINCERELY feel that OUR society has put MORE TRUST in political figures, who run OUR country than the ONE who gave them LIFE…. GOD!! I will NOT rest until we’re ALL on the same page, on this ONE…. I promise YOU!!

Hello again! It’s GREAT to see that YOU came back, because business is about to pick up! By now we have covered alot areas in reguards to MY MISSION! I feel that I’m molding a pretty well laid out plan on the direction that I want YOU to start taking in YOUR life from now on! I TRULY feel the direction that YOU have taken to this point, Has you putting LIMITS on what YOU can accomplish! I’ll be straight with you GOD and I have a HUGE problem with that approach! I know for a fact God has put NO LIMITS in MY life, for ALL the things that I have accomplished for HIM so far!
I DEFINITELY know God has NO plans for that to change for ME, but God’s plan for YOU has ALREADY begun to change! In case YOU don’t know what that is it’s been right in front of YOU…. NINO’S MISSION! Soon those LIMITS you’ve been putting on yourself will END, because more LIMITS come more EXCUSES!! This is Totally UNACCEPTABLE behavior for God and MYSELF, and so should it be for YOU!! What a way to get things brewing for our next discussion!
Are you ready?
Here we go once again!
There is one question that I’ve been asked by many people, and I have a feeling that YOU’VE been dying to ask me that same question! Nino what motivated you to start bodybuilding? Well in this next blog, I’m going to tell you TWO factors that lead up to MY decision to start bodybuilding! I’m hoping after I tell YOU it will light a fire in YOU, to do something that someone has told YOU for years that it can’t be done! Well by now YOU know MY answer to that, NO EXCUSES!
I would have to say the first factor that lead up to my start to bodybuild, was when I was told by Doctors I would be VERY limited in the things I could do! Well were they in for a SURPRISE!! God told ME that HE was going to make ME the EXCEPTION to their rule, so GOD chose bodybuilding for ME! Well let ME go on the record to say God sure picked a sport, that is EXTREMELY tough to compete in let alone with a DISABILITY and be SUCCESSFUL!! Well as YOU see by MY accomplishments how WRONG they were. My message is simple here I DIDN’T allow my doctors to control MY LIFE, I let GOD take the wheel instead and so should YOU!
The second and MOST important factor was when I was REPEATEDLY told, by all the critics out there I WOULDN”T be able to compete in open-classes! They told ME I should try my luck in the wheel chair division and save myself the embarrasement! GEE I have a STRONG feeling that their the ONE’S feeling EMBARRASSED…. I’m feeling GREAT! NOW knowing how SUCCESSFUL I’ve been in competing in open-classes with the WILL of GOD…. and I have no intentions to STOP!! I guess they DEFINITLEY didn’t know, who they were talking to until NOW!! The message that YOU should be getting here is DON’T judge a book by its cover! YOU might be SURPRISED on what YOU find, when YOU open it up!! A MOST MUSCULAR picture of ME telling YOU…. NO EXCUSES!!
I DEFINITLEY know that these two factors, have set a FIRE in ME that will NEVER be put out! I will continue with the STRENGTH of God, to bring MY bodybuilding to a WHOLE new level of SUCCESS!! Listen I REALLY hope that I was able to add fuel, to start a fire in YOU to accomplish something that YOU have been told for year’s to be IMPOSSIBLE!! Well that’s about to STOP right? It’s time for YOU to start standing up for YOURSELF, and show those critics a thing or two about LIMITS!! There’s only ONE limit that God has set for ME that’s to obey the SPEED LIMIT, when driving and the same goes for YOU!! Remember this is a team effort from now on…. NO more EXCUSES!!

Welcome back! Before we start talking about our next topic of discussion I want to share with you about what I’ve been seeing ALREADY with my MISSION! I’ve been reading the comments that people have been leaving me, in reguards to MY blogs that I’ve written to this point! I’m very EXCITED to see how much of a POSITIVE effect my MISSION is beginning to have on their lives! That ONLY tells me that my MISSION that God has me on, is off to a very SUCCESSFUL start!
Like I pointed out to YOU in the beginning I have several goals I’m hoping to accomplish here, I TRULY feel that two of them are well on there way to being SUCCESSFUL! I hope that YOU have an idea to what they are? Let me help you…. to MOTIVATE AND EDUCATE people, in how to start living a “NO EXCUSE” wonderful NEW life! If I CAN achieve everything that I’ve done to this point with a DISABILITY and be SUCCESSFUL, without making EXCUSES so can YOU!
That brings us to our next topic of discussion, I SINCERELY feel that my next blog will change YOUR view in how YOU define a disability! I hope by now YOU are becoming better educated in this area, in what YOUR answer should be! Before you give me your answer if YOU haven’t noticed, I have a disability at least I think I do! I know what your probably thinking GEE NINO I completely forgot, It’s hard to believe that YOU even have a disability!That’s EXACTLY my point I DON’T have a disability, it ALL depends on how you define it!
It’s VERY simple in how I define MY disability, as a TREMENDOUS blessing thanks to GOD! I truly believe that God has blessed ME with THREE important characteristics, that we ALL should have! They are CREATIVITY, STRONG WILL, and last but not least a NO EXCUSE attitude! What I’m about to say next might surprise YOU! I SINCERELY feel that I wouldn’t have achieved everything that I have been telling you, if it weren’t for MY disability! God has shown me how to UTILIZE these three characteristics VERY effectively in my life in helping to show others that I am NO different than they are! So now you know how I define MY disability a REAL BLESSING from GOD! I will not STOP until YOU too share MY same view, because I TRULY feel that our society needs a WAKE-UP CALL! God has chosen ME, as that being an IMPORTANT part of MY MISSION! I TRULY feel that our society has been ASLEEP, way to long on this subject! Don’t YOU agree?
It’s that time again!
How do YOU define a disability??
I DEFINITELY have given you some time to think about it, I hope you have come up with the CORRECT answer! If your still thinking of one that’s fine, God has ALSO blessed me with ALOT of patients! Listen I’m not going to pressure YOU on the answer that I’m hoping to hear! I truly feel when your ready to tell me, It might be one that even shocks YOU! I’ve NEVER been shocked, with an answer anybody has given to me yet! Who knows YOU might be the first, YOU would DEFINITELY bring a smile to my face! If it’s NOT going to be the answer that I was HOPING for, that’s OK that will just tell ME YOU need to be EDUCATED more! I will NOT stop UNTIL YOU define a disability like the way I do, and that is “WHAT DISABILITY” I’ve been blessed by God!! I REALLY want YOU to have that same ATTITUDE, because that is the ONLY way to LIVE!!
In the meantime I will continue to EDUCATE and MOTIVATE you, UNTIL I feel that MY message is LOUD and CLEAR to YOU and the WORLD!!! In case YOU need a refresher on what that message is, a DISABILITY is only that if YOU think of it that way!! Unlike ME I’ve taken MY disability and turned it AROUND, to say “I CAN” NO EXCUSES and so should YOU!!

Hello again and welcome back! As we start a brand NEW YEAR we should ALL think about getting those resolutions started right away! Remember those TWO words that now YOU are living by, that’s right NO EXCUSES! If ONE of your resolutions is to begin your own training program, I STRONGLY recommend that YOU listen closely to my next blog! It might help YOU in deciding whether to focus on doing HIGH or LOW reps in your sets! As you’ve read in ALL of MY training blogs, I keep MY repetitons EXTREMELY high with ALL the exercises that I perform for good reason! I hope once I explain to YOU my philosophy why I train like this, YOU will want to FOLLOW in my foot steps!
Are you ready?
Here we go again!
There are SEVERAL reasons why I choose in doing the higher reps compared to doing low reps, let’s say for example 8 to 10 reps which I see is pretty common today. I’m going to touch on TWO VERY important reasons, 0n WHY I feel that the HIGH reps will DEFINITELY benefit YOU much MORE! For starters without ANY doubt in my mind, it will help YOU gain GREATER muscle size, strength and definition! I know for ME the HIGH reps have DEFINITELY played an IMPORTANT role, in my bodybuilding success that I’ve had to this point and it continues, THANKS to God! Listen I’m NOT saying that YOU have to do FIFTY reps or anything like that! It has taken me a LONG time to acheive that and I know if YOU train HARD with consistency, YOU will be inducting into MY fifty rep club!
The second and MOST important reason is the HIGHER reps will allow YOU to INCREASE your cardiovascular conditioning! I truly feel by doing this YOU will burn MORE bodyfat at a higher rate, which ONLY will result in YOU gaining MORE lean quality muscle! I know for ME that is the ONLY way to acheive a MORE muscular lean physique, now isn’t that what YOU really want? I KNOW I do! It’s funny because everytime I go to the gym I see alot of these BIG guys, put ALOT of weight on the bar and make ALOT of noise for ONE REP! When I look at there form I just shake my head and say to myself, who are they trying to impress! I guarantee YOU they will be visiting the chiropractor soon!
I beleive we touched on this point earlier in one of my recent blogs, which is YOU should be training for YOURSELF! If your doing it to impress someone I STRONGLY suggest don’t bother to start a training program this year! Believe me I’ve been doing this long enough to know, doing HEAVY weight with LOW reps right off the bat will ONLY GREATLY improve your chances of hurting YOURSELF! Trust ME I’ve seen it happen to people time and time again, I DEFINITELY don’t want YOU to be NEXT in line!
I have a GREAT idea for you! Would YOU like to know what that might be? GREAT! It’s simple, start a training program with weight YOU can handle safely, keeping your reps between 12 to 15 repetitions! As time goes by and you see yourself getting stronger, graudually INCREASE the weight and reps accordingly! I suggest in increments of five with both weight and reps, before YOU know it you’ll pass ME how GREAT would that be! So what are YOU waiting for lets get started, and I’ll see YOU at MY next contest! You NEVER know YOU might be competing in your first show this year! If I CAN do it and SUCCEED so can YOU! Remember NO EXCUSES see YOU at the finish line!!!

Hello again and Welcome back! I see YOU made it through the Christmas hustle and bussle! GREAT because we ALL know what comes next, that’s right NEW YEAR’S! YOU know the time when everyone makes those resolutions to themselves that ONLY a handful of people accomplish! Well in this next blog I’m going to discuss some of MY resolutions and try to help YOU, have a NO EXCUSE attitude to follow through with YOUR resolutions this year and the years to follow! I believe NINO’S MISSION has arrived just in time, wouldn’t YOU agree! By the time I’m done telling YOU my resolutions and knowing without ANY doubt GOD will help ME accomplish them successfully, I’m CONFIDENT that YOU will end up accomplishing YOUR resolutions also, because now YOU have NO EXCUSES not to!
Are you ready?
I hope by NOW the picture has become much clearer for YOU than it did in the beginning! If NOT maybe after sharing my two resolutions with you, the picture will become crystal clear I at least hope it will! First I’m going to teach you how to see YOUR resolutions through successfully from start to finish without ANY EXCUSES! Your probably NOT used to that are YOU! Well I got news for you better start getting used to having ME around because that’s the way it’s going to be from now on!
I realize the commitment it takes to start a resolution, let alone finish one successfully that you can be proud of! For instance wouldn’t YOU love to prove to yourself that YOU can complete a resolution this year because of those famous TWO words, that’s right YOU guessed right NO EXCUSES! I’m VERY pleased to see that you’ve been paying ALOT more attention this time around. That only tells me that YOU are interested in learning more about MY MISSION! Wouldn’t it be GREAT to FINALLY complete ALL those resolutions,that YOU have piled up over the years! The ONLY thing that was keeping YOU from accomplishing them, were those EXCUSES YOU were making which kept you from completing them successfully! Listen I’m NOT trying to make YOU feel guilty.. ok your right I am it’s for your own good!
On to MY second resolution, I truly feel that this ONE will even put ME to the TEST! God has chosen ME for this mission NOT only to help MOTIVATE and to help YOU build a NO EXCUSE attitude, but also to help YOU build a stronger relationship with HIM! I know for ME GOD has done AMAZING things in MY life, that could NEVER have happened WITHOUT HIM at the helm! Just imagine ALL the AMAZING things that GOD can start doing in your life, all HE wants is for YOU to trust HIM with EVERY situation in your LIFE! So why NOT start the NEW YEAR off, by allowing GOD to come into YOUR life! I PROMISE you, that will be the BEST resolution YOU could make happen this year! If YOU do, I ONLY see God doing AMAZING things in your life, wouldn’t that be a TREAT!
It’s that time again! I’m going to ask YOU that same question! What’s your NEW YEAR’S resolution? After all that I’ve told you… you still need time to think of ONE! Listen God has me on a MISSION, time is of the essence! I’ll help you with ONE here it is, NO MORE EXCUSES! Let God in your life and HE will make sure, that your resolutions won’t be a DREAM from now on but REALITY!
I sincerely hope that I was able to give YOU a CLEAR picture, to see how your NEW YEAR is going to begin! I’ll do everything in my power that GOD gives me, to change your path in life to a MOTTO that YOU will live by from NOW on! In case you have forgotten; I’m beginning to feel like a broken record, NO EXCUSES!! Just let GOD take YOU by the hand, and walk you through your resolutions from the beginning to the end. The result being SUCCESS!! The one thing I know is I’m off to a GREAT start with MY resolutions this year! How about YOU??
