This chapter will teach you about how I used the greatest book of all time: Napolean Hill's Think and Grow Rich. How it change my life! How exercise saved my life and gave me purpose.
How Exercise Saved My Life Joseph "The Body" Cosme "Every adversity every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit". Personal trainers are not born; they are made. I grew up watching both my parents enjoying the benefits of exercise. My dad would run 5k marathons and marathon Runs. He has won many trophies. My mom would work out in her basement and would do weight training. My mom had some ankle weights, dumbbells, and posters on the wall of women bodybuilders. I would follow her every move including taking the ankle weights and do frog jumps with them. My passion for exercise started by watching my mom do her exercises and watching my dad win many 5 mile runs and marathons. I get my athletic ability from both my parents. I grew in the ghettos of Coney Island playing basketball, and going to Catholic school. As I got older, I became a product of my environment. I started to hang out with drug dealers and gang members. I drank and partied every day and had no direction and definite goals. I started selling drugs. I became disobedient, and my anger and greed took control over my mind. No surprise I ended up getting myself into a lot of trouble with the law. I was facing 12 to 20 years in prison because I got into a heated altercation with a man who had spent over ten years in jail and had just finished doing three I was becoming successful financially, and he was jealous to see a young 22-year-old do so well. This man attacked me with a knife, but I was able to defend myself. In the process of defending myself, I ended up slashing him and injuring him. I was indicted for 2nd degree attempted murder charges and was facing 12 to 20 years in prison. I was bailed out on $10,000 bail, and I was afraid for my well being. The fear of doing 20 years nearly paralyzed my mind; this man was seeking revenge and wanted to kill me. I knew I had to take some action. I felt this burning desire to work out and make myself stronger.
Despite facing so many years in prison, exercise is what made me feel alive again, and so I was motivated. I hired two personal trainers for weight training and boxing. I trained faithfully, three times a week with both instructors. I did this for the six months that I was out on bail. All the money I saved went to help myself physically prepare for prison. These trainers taught me a lot about life and mentored me in becoming my best self. I was getting specialized knowledge on their expertise in fitness, nutrition and exercise. This adversity ended up becoming a positive. I learned how to work out and fight plus, my confidence and faith grew stronger as I saw myself getting closer to my fitness goals. At 22 years old, I was 5'6 and only 117 pounds. All the drinking and partying had me looking anorexic. The exercise helped me gain some muscle. I was still skinny but, at least, had made some improvements. I stopped hustling, but my heavy drinking continued. Exercise became my new daily habit and made my life much happier. On August 24, 2005, I was faced with the most difficult decision of my life. I was scheduled to go to court that day for a pre-trial and had to select a jury for my trial. My lawyer asked me not to bring any of my friends that day because I would be busy helping him select the jury. When I walked into the courtroom, my lawyer immediately told me that the judge was offering me a plea bargain of 2 years in prison. I was angry at my attorney for trying to convince me to take this offer. He thought it was a great mistake to turn this offer down. I was extremely stubborn and decided to turn it down and go to trial. My lawyer walked me back outside the courtroom trying to persuade me to accept the plea bargain. I was reluctant and angry at him, for not having faith in me and my case. The judge allowed me 10 minutes to step out the courtroom to make my decision. It took me almost an hour to make my decision. Because indecision and doubt made me so stressed, I asked everyone else for advice and validation of my decision. I must have tried to call over 15 family and
friends over the phone for advice and wisdom on my situation, but could not get into contact with anyone. It was an obvious sign to me that I had to be the one to make the decision for myself and nobody else. After almost 1 hour of thinking, I finally made up my mind and accepted the 2-year sentence. Suddenly the burden and stress of the 20 years that was weighing heavy on my shoulders for six months was magically gone. All the worry and stress went away. I reluctantly accepted and agreed to do two years in a maximum security prison. I was willing to start my sentence immediately, however, the judge recommended and gave me seven weeks to be free and to say my good bye to everyone and spend time with my family. The judge warned me that if I tried to run away from this situation and not show back to the court that I would be facing a lot more time in prison and more than the years that they had given me. I went home that day and cried like a baby. I prayed and promised God that I would come back to the society a better man. I made a will that I will be of great value in the world. My goal was to find something I love and share it with others. It was August 24th, 2005 and I had to turn myself in on October 11th, 2005, the day after Columbus Day. I spent my last seven weeks doing what I had already been doing while out on bail, and that was doing a lot of weightlifting, boxing with my trainers, reading the Bible and reading other self-development books. This adversity made me wiser and a better person. Working out helped me through the toughest times of my life. I knew I had to protect myself and, at least, try to prepare myself for my prison term, so I exercise daily. It helped me alleviate my stress and saved me from anxiety from harming myself and others. Exercises made me feel more confident and without it, I do not think I would have had the willpower to think and be positive. On October 11th, I turned myself in. The judge asked me to stand up and say a few words. I told him and those in the courtroom that I would return to society and be a positive influence and a positive example to the world. This was my definite purpose, but I did not know how or what I would be or become when I made that decision. I did not know how I was going do it, but I was confident that I was going to
change myself to be great. The judge applauded me and wished me luck on my prison bid. This was just the beginning of my journey to success. I spent time in many prisons including, Manhattan Tombs, to Riker’s Island C74, Max prison correction facility of Down State, Medium A prison Bare Hill Correctional Facility, Ulster, and finally to minimum security Queensboro. My journey to all these maximum and medium security prisons showed me, and taught me, the lifestyle of prison life. It taught me to be humble and value time. Time is the greatest precious gift, and I used it to work out, and study exercise science and read and master the book think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill. It was there that I came across Napoleon Hills ‘Think and Grow Rich from a cellmate. He let me borrow the book. That book changed my life. It gave me clarity and a road map to be successful. I was able to create a business plan using it so I would return to the society a better person. From the book, I learned the power of having a definite purpose and understanding on how to use desire, persistence, specialized knowledge, decision, imagination, the subconscious mind, and everything else I needed from this greatest book ever written. I also learnt how to control my anger and my violent actions towards others. I used this book to make the decision to become one of the greatest personal trainers that ever lived, and to learn as much specialized knowledge as possible to prepare me when I get out. My imagination was to transform my body into a fitness model. I used autosuggestion techniques in the book and read, studied and exercised twice daily. I learned how to cook and organize my thinking and to map out a plan. It was amazing to see how some of my fellow inmates were extremely knowledgeable on the subjects of health, fitness, diet, and exercise and I learned from them. They taught me their bodybuilding and weight loss and muscle gain strategies. Their bodies were built like Greek statues, and they showed me how to change any body type into an incredible physique.
I promised myself that I would do this to help people and would never be back in prison. I was saddened and hurt for some of the guys that were there because they had a Great Spirit, attitude, and talent. But, they did not have a second chance at life like I did. I spent many hours studying in my cell about bodybuilding and power-lifting, and my inmate friends signed me up for a very popular power-lifting competition. The competition is a very popular sport in all of the upstate prisons in New York and takes place once a year. The inmates that trained for it worked out religiously in the yard and the gym and practiced the art, form, and technique of lifting the heaviest amount of weight they could. The strongest men receive a certification award for power-lifting plus bragging rights. After doing well in the competition, it made it clear to me that my desire was to help others achieve the same change in their body that I experience. I wanted to help others achieve their fitness and physique goals. When I finally got out of prison on June 21st, 2007, I was 150 pounds of solid muscle and looked like a fitness model. I was under weight when i started my bid and had gained 30 pounds in 2 years, and it was mostly muscle. I attracted a lot of attention and received modeling, personal training, and music video offers. I also received a role as an extra for a movie called fighting, the star of the movie was Channing Tatum. I had gotten stopped by a photographer walking at Coney Island beach one day and the photographer asked me to pose for the camera. Those pictures of me were honored and put up on a wall in a museum called El Museo del Barrio located 1230 5th Ave, NYC 10029. My working out was paying off, and it was finally starting to show. At the same time, my prison record was holding me back, because people would not hire me for a job because of my felony conviction. I applied for many job interviews at both high and low-end commercial gyms. I was invited for interviews because of my body, but as soon as they learned of my past felony conviction, they would turn me down. This adversity gave me a burning desire to prove to myself and society to be so great at my profession that no one could turn me down.
After re-reading Napoleon Hill’s chapter on persistence, I was determined to keep trying. I decided to do my job interviews by dressing up in a suit and tie and bringing in my resume. I would walk into almost every commercial gym asking to speak to the fitness manager. Doing this five days a week for three months, I was finally hired. Napoleon Hill’s chapter on persistence had paid off. I finally won. Well, I thought I had won until I faced another temporary defeat. I decided to go to vocational school for personal training to better myself. I manifested $5,000 for the school by using Napoleon Hill’s Law of attraction. I made a vision board and made my dream come true, but then I was kicked out of personal training school with only two days of school remaining. The school did this because I was 10 to 15 school minutes late every day in Union Square in Manhattan. I would have to stop by in the AM to see my parole officer in down town brooklyn and then go to work to train a client at a gym in Tribeca to make a living and then go to school. Because of my punctuality of being few minutes late every day, I was kicked out. Plus my cousin committed suicide and took a few days off of school for his funeral and burial didn't help my attendance. I would travel far from my Coney island home to downtown Brooklyn to see my parole officer and then to work at gym in Manhattan tribeca to train my clients and then to personal training school in union square to try to make my dream come true to becoming a certified personal trainer. It was a terrible commute, but I was willing to make it work. When I got kicked out, I was in tears. It felt similar to being in love and then getting betrayed. I felt cheated. The teacher there one day announced to the class that no one would ever hire me or train with me because of my tardiness. I stumbled on many people like this that try to break me. All they do is fuel my fire to fight back. Success is the best revenge. This teacher had the same personality of this prejudice correction officer at my unit when I was in Barehill correctional faculty. This Correctional Officer would spit on the floor every time I walked passed him to enter back into my unit. This would go on almost every day for most of my bid. He would go into my cell and throw all my books on the floor and mess up my cubicle. He would throw my mattress on the floor and rip my family pictures off the wall.
He confined me to my cell for 21 days before my powerlifting competition. I could not go out for any recreation. And it almost stopped me from training for the competition. All of these challenges increased my burning desire to make myself better. Studying Fitness books and magazines, i was able to create a very effective 21 day body weight workout that would allow me to keep a lot of my strength for the power lifting competition that was just a few days away. I was able to do barbell squat 405 pounds at weighing only 147 pounds. For the competition i was able to get a score of 390 pounds and deadliest 365 pounds. Being cube confined for 21 days force my hand to think and train smarter for the competition. I look back at all the adversity and temporary defeat and realize that my persistence, determination, and eagerness to be successful created my success. I still wanted to improve myself after getting kicked out of personal training school, so I signed up for an exercise science course at Kingsboro Community College where I learned how to develop a business plan to start my own business. I visualized my dreams and manifested them from applying the success principles from Think and Grow Rich. All these adversities were blessings in disguise, because they gave me the determination and ability to be, and do, great things for the ones I love. Since then, I am proud to say that I have trained Celebrity Ed Westwick from TV show Gossip Girl for his upcoming movie Romeo and Juliet and have also worked with Former WWE wrestler and current fitness model Diva Bobbi Billiard. I now have over 40 clients that I train, run my small group personal training boot camp, created the 24-day challenge DVD that will be sold on Amazon in March 2016. I also wrote an eBook series titled "Up North”: The Ultimate New York State penitentiary workout to building jail house muscle size and strength that will be in Kindle on Amazon also in March 2016. I could not have done all of this if I had not read Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill has influenced me to be an aspiring public speaker, author and has taught me to believe in myself to become an aspiring fitness model, and men’s physique competitor by October, 2016. Today, I am proud to say that I have had four educations when it comes personal fitness training and exercise science. I know the workout knowledge of the school, gym, street and prison yards. I was molded to be
one of the best personal fitness trainers in the industry because I went through many adversities and challenges and never gave up. And I thank Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich for teaching me this secret. All these have been my journey to success. Today I now live in luxury with my beautiful wife Rosa and my adorable kids Noah and Savannah and our new puppy Charlie. Amen.

Pull Up
Preparation Grasp bar overhead at a width that will allow for the forearms to be perpendicular to the bar when the elbows are flexed at 90 degrees. Maintain a neutral spine from head to toe, AVOID SWINGING LEGS/TORSO! Movement: Pull body upward as far as neutral in the shoulder girdle (as well as the rest of the spine), can be maintained. (NOTE: This may mean NOT pulling the chin past the bar!) Lower at desired REP TEMPO.
Dips – Bodvweight
Preparation Support your bodyweight at arm’s length on the parallel bars. Position body so your head is up over your shoulders, shoulders in line with hips. Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining optimal alignment, bend elbows and lower your body SLOWLY. Then in a controlled manner, straighten the elbows and “drive" the shoulder girdle downward while returning to the starting position. Perform recommended repetitions. Depth should NEVER exceed the active range of motion available for shoulder extension. To reduce stress to the shoulders, flex the knees and hips by drawing the knees up to the chest. This will alter the COG(center of gravity), placing the body in a position where there will not be as much shoulder extension required for the movement.

KEY WORDS TO KNOW SETS REPS DURATION TEMPO INTENSITY REST DEFINITION: SETS IS a group of consecitive reps. REPS is 1 complete movement of a particular exercise, for this program theres a concentric and eccentric rep. lying down on a barbell chestp ress. pushing the weight up to the celing is the positive which is concentric, or acceleration. when you lower the weight down to your chest is the negative, which eccentric phase, decelartion. TEMPO is the speed of the rep. time under tension. how much time is your muscles under tension from the demand placed on your body. for this program. it should take you 2 seconds to come down with weight and 2 seconds to come up with the weight. 1 rep should take you for 4 seconds for each rep. INTENSITY is the demand placed on the body. the demand is the actual weight you are lifting. REST

Barbell Row: Bent Over
Preparation Stand with feet shoulder-width apart over the bar, flex at the hip and slightly at the knees. Take a grip width that allows the forearms to be perpendicular to the bar when the elbows are flexed at 90°. Maintain neutral spine and head position. Movement: Assume a 60-45° bent over position (commonly known as a functional stance). Maintaining optimal posture, pull the bar toward your abdomen (focus on retraction of scapulae). Focus on generating movement from your core instead of just pulling with your arms. Return to the start position and repeat movement for desired repetitions.
Lat Pulldown
Preparation Place hands on bar at a grip width that will allow the wrists to be perpendicular to the bar when the elbows are at 90 degrees. Lean back just enough so that the bar descends in front of you (NOTE: This will vary from machine to machine). Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining optimum spinal alignment, SLOWLY start to pull the shoulder girdle downward. While the shoulder blades continue to move downward, the arms should follow. The return motion must include shoulder girdle upward rotation and elevation. Motion should be stopped just before the muscles relax. Do not allow head to “jet" forward.

Dumbbell Chest Press - Incline
Preparation Lie on bench with your feet straight and flat on the ground. With arms fully extended, position the dumbbells (DB) over the lower part of the shoulders (not the head). Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Slowly, lower your elbows out and down, maintaining wrist position over the elbows. Continue to lower the DBs until your upper arms are level with the shoulders. To return, move your elbows up and in toward the center. This will create a triangular motion. Wrist should maintain a neutral position. Keep the DBs over the wrists throughout the entire exercise. Maintain proper posture as the DBs are lowered. DO NOT allow the head to 'jut1 forward.

Posterior Raise - Bent over Load to Unload
Preparation Ensure that the client/athlete hinges well from the hips, keeps the knees slightly bent, and maintains good stability through the abdominal complex. Initiate a thorough dynamic warm-up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system. Movement: This movement combines a deadlift motion with a swinging posterior shoulder fly. Choose a light dumbbell to start (30% of normal posterior raise is suggested). Start from a standing position and perform a 1 arm deadlift (for description - see 'deadlift' in the Exercise Library). Hold the trunk in a flexed forward position. Swing the dumbbell across the body to 'load', then 'unload' by accelerating the weight through to a posterior raise (as shown). Repeat in a rhythmic pattern of controlled momentum. Note relative timing and posture of this exercise in the video. TRAINERS: Ensure that the client or athlete is proficient at the deadlift motion. Excessive kyphosis, locking the knees, or low back pain may indicate that the load is too heavy and needs to be adjusted, or discontinued.
Barbell Shoulder Shrugs
Preparation Stand with feet hip width, knees bent slightly, shoulder blades retracted, with the tongue in 'swallowing' position. Grasp bar slightly wider than shoulder width (this is to reinforce the Upper Traps angle of pull through the arm). Movement: Shrug the bar upward, aiming the shoulders toward the back of the head. Lower the bar in a controlled manner. Maintain optimal posture throughout the movement.

Preparation Support your bodyweight at arm’s length on the parallel bars. Position body so your head is up over your shoulders, shoulders in line with hips. Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining optimal alignment, bend elbows and lower your body SLOWLY. Then in a controlled manner, straighten the elbows and “drive" the shoulder girdle downward while returning to the starting position. Perform recommended repetitions. Depth should NEVER exceed the active range of motion available for shoulder extension. To reduce stress to the shoulders, flex the knees and hips by drawing the knees up to the chest. This will alter the COG(center of gravity), placing the body in a position where there will not be as much shoulder extension required for the movement.
Tricep Push-Down - Cable Rope Grip
Preparation Stand on both legs with feet pointing straight ahead and knees slightly flexed. Maintain a draw in position throughout the entire exercise. Keep shoulder retracted and depressed. Hold the rope with palms facing each other and elbows flexed 90 degrees. Movement: Extend the triceps by pushing hand towards the ground until arms are fully extended. Avoid letting the back arch, head jut forward and/or shouldersround forward. Hold and slowly return cable to 90 degrees of elbow flexion.

Preparation Feet may be placed around shoulder width or SLIGHTLY wider, with minimal external rotation. (NOTE: The wider the stance [abduction], the more external rotation of the feet is required to maintain alignment at the knees). Place bar comfortably on the upper back. DON'T BE AFRAID TO USE A BAR PAD! Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining tone in the deep abdominal musculature, descend slowly by bending at the knees and hips. During the descent, maintain weight distribution between the mid-foot and heels. Do not allow the feet to cave inward or shift outward. While maintaining tone in the lower abdomen and optimal kinetic chain alignment, 'drive' through the feet extending the ankle, knee and hip joints while your weight is evenly distributed between heels and midfoot. Do not allow bodyweight to shift toward the toes. The knees should track over the second and third toe. Perform downward reps slowly and concentrate on the eccentric (descent) and the isometric (squat position) alignment of your body. Descend as far as you can control. Partial squats should progress to full squats as neuromuscular efficiency improves.

Leg Press - Hack Squat
Preparation Adjust back pad for comfort. Note: The higher the back pad position, the greater the hamstring length due to the increased hip angle. Seated in machine, attain neutral alignment of the spine. Keep hips in pad. Once stabilized, hips should not rotate upward. Movement: From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. With knees slightly flexed and aligned properly, slowly lower the legs. Stop if alignment is lost or when buttocks begin to “pop" off pad. To return to the start position, straighten the knees (without locking out) toward the machine. How far the knees extend (returning to start position) will depend on individual control capabilities. Full extension is permissible when controlled. Due to the direction of resistance, beware of hyperextension of the knee. Check knee alignment, stabilize spine and repeat under control. Always be in complete control of the resistance. You should be able to stop the resistance at any time during the exercise. If stopping is not possible, decrease the amount of resistance you have employed. Keep hips in pad. Continually monitor alignment before and after every repetition.
