Muscle Fitness Biography

In 2010 Mark officially founded Functional Muscle Fitness LLC. However, Mark’s story beings far before that…

At the age of 13 years old Mark Wine was introduced to working out (i.e. lifting weights) by his father and mentor Carroll E Wine Jr. Mark’s father was always a weight lifter and he began dragging Mark to the gym at 4:30am in the morning. If the two missed a workout in the morning then they would always go to the gym at night to make up the workout. There was one distinct moment in the first year of working out that changed Mark’s attitude to one of dedication, discipline and desire (DDD). One night Mark told his father that he didn’t feel like going to work out. On the drive home from Gold’s gym that night, Mark’s father turned and said to him, “still doing something when you do not want to do will set you apart from everybody else.” DDD is something that Mark’s parents taught him as he was growing up.

Mark played varsity soccer as a freshman in high school and won North Coast Section his junior year. Mark played football for four years as well. Mark’s senior year was stricken when he suffered an ankle fracture during the 3rd game of the season. The injury forced Mark to take one play off all year. He toughened up and finished out the year with help from his friend and inspiration Glen Barker, the athletic trainer at his high school. Upon completion of his senior season Mark was forced to have ankle surgery. The surgery kept him away from the gym for two weeks before he was back working out hoping around on one leg. Mark returned to the gridiron at DVC junior college the very next season where he battled with ankle rehabilitation. After a sub-par season, the combative itch would not die in Mark. He boldly traveled down south to Grossmont junior college where he battled and earned the starting position as full back and tail back. After another tough season under his belt, Mark prepared himself for the JC combine. In training for the JC combine Mark met a guy whom played for De La Salle high school, the University of Oregon and then the Seattle Seahawks. Mark trained with him daily for one month. Athletic performance training was finally shown to Mark and this started his road to developing original styles of Functional Training.

Mark earned a walk-on position with the San Diego State University Aztec football team. Mark was formally introduced to Olympic lifting and traditional football power lifting. Mark became heavy, slower and gained body fat. Mark was confused and started researching biomechanics of the body and discovered his foundation for his training methodology, complex functional training. Mark decided to walk away from football for good and take on Strength and Conditioning full time.

Mark became a personal trainer at 24 hour fitness in San Diego, CA during his senior year of college. Mark quickly became known as “the specimen” around the health club for his uncanny plyometrics and ability to move heavy loads. The DDD mentality accelerated Mark’s career as he began training MMA athletes, BJJ athletes, top ranked youth golfers, and military personnel. It was here that Mark was introduced to his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and his mind set on training took another 180° turn.

Mark invested into a BJJ / personal training facility in San Diego, CA during his senior year of college. Mark took to the mats as he did to the gridiron, aggressively. He trained 3-4 times per day at minimum and quickly began competing. In 2008 Mark took home first place in the novice division at the Pan American games. He competed in these games only two months after starting BJJ. Mark realized that strength through weight lifting can either be advantageous or a disadvantage. Being slow and swollen will get you tapped and tired, but being strong, powerful and in shape will get make you a champion.

Mark moved from San Diego to return home to Concord, CA, where he began developing Functional Muscle Fitness. In 2009 Mark re-modeled his parent’s garage and unofficially started Functional Muscle Fitness. He began training local high school teams and local athletic stars. His popularity grew within the community from his original functional training, militant style of coaching, and his team’s success. Mark helped take a sub-500 basketball team to 18-2 in one season. He turned a football team, whom missed play offs for 12 straight years and had not gone .500 in that same span, go 8-2 with a 7-0 start and they even made it to the 2nd round of playoffs (this was in one season). These accolades began building Mark a formidable reputation around the local community; however, this wasn’t enough for Mark because he had a vision of taking his training worldwide.

In 2009 Mark earned an opportunity with the Oakland Raiders. He met two mentors who re-inspired him to heights he never thought possible; strength and conditioning Coach Brad Roll and his assistant coach Chris Disanto, who now coach for the Cleveland Browns. They helped Mark learn how to work with different personalities and how to deal with attitudes, especially entitled ones. Coach Disanto introduced Mark to heavy rope training, which Mark incorporates into nearly every workout done at FMF. Through this very same network Mark took a trip to the University of Texas where he worked with Head Olympics Coach Donnie Maib. Coach Maib influenced Mark greatly because of his passion to improve his players and the relationship he builds with them.

During the NFL lockout Mark decided to open up his own facility with his two trustworthy friends, training partners and soon to be associates. The facility would change the MMA community and put together programs that no other facility could offer. The DDD attitude grew exponentially as the facility grew in numbers. FMF began growing and has yet to stop. Where FMF stands today is nowhere near where FMF is going. Mark is now a director at two high schools, De La Salle High School, and is a director at Walnut Creek Soccer Club. More and more MMA athletes are piling in to seek out FMF’s superior training. Mark’s and FMF’s reputation continues to grow and has launched them into being the foremost Dryland training facility in the area, maybe even the entire country. With no signs of slowing down for Mark, his staff and his family Allison and son Dominic, FMF is on its way to completely revolutionizing the fitness and athletic industry.The message was from Neema Yazdani. Some of you might recognize Neema’s name from my most recent book, The Men’s Health Big Book: Getting Abs. Neema was a test subject that epitomized the great results you could receive with the program. As a guy that had tried just about everything during the last 12 years, Neema dropped body fat and added muscle with a simpler approach included in the book.

But the desire for an edge still burns within. Neema is always looking for ways to become better. And I can’t blame him. He is just like any other warm-blooded human. We want results—and we want them fast.

So when news of Ray Lewis using deer antler spray (also known as deer antler velvet) made the rounds during Super Bowl week, the media started clamoring and men everywhere started salivating about the potential over-the-counter super supplement. The media spread their angle: Was Ray’s miraculous return to football not so miraculous? While consumers wanted more information on the product. Let’s not forget the supplement industry is a multi-billionaire dollar business. And if Ray used the product then it must be legit, right? That’s what recent supplement sales would have you believe, as ESPN business reporter Darren Rovel reported that purchases skyrocketed within 24 hours of the report.

Take away the question of him using the product (he has denied it, and the timing of the report is a little odd, given that the source claims he began taking the product months ago), and let’s just focus on the bottom line: Did deer antler velvet help Ray Lewis recover faster? And does deer antler spray actually work to build muscle and speed recovery?

The answer is that deer antler velvet is just another fat burner. Another cell volumizer. Another body-toning shoe. It’s fitness marketing at it’s finest—playing off a goal you desire (gaining more muscle and size) and drawing unsubstantiated and wildly exaggerated claims. There’s nothing miraculous about deer antler spray. And after a closer look at the product, there’s really—well—nothing to it at all.

Deer antler velvet is supposed to help you build muscle. It allegedly elevates levels of IGF-1, an important hormone that helps you pack on mass. As “side effects” you also should see improvements in strength and endurance. And some products even claim it speeds recovery, which is why it was linked to Ray Lewis who earlier suffered an apparent season-ending injury, and yet has played and performed at a high level in the playoffs.

The truth? While research is limited, there’s nothing to suggest that deer antler velvet (or deer antler spray in the supplement form) actually does what it claims. In fact, there are two published studies (in real scientific journals, you can see them here and here) that suggest deer antler velvet does not (I repeat, does not) even elicit a hormonal response. What’s more, it also did not increase muscular strength or aerobic power.

Ok, so what’s two studies? I fully expect many readers will claim studies suck. Or that some things occur “in the trenches” and will always be ahead of scientific research. And you know what? That’s a valid argument. A lot of great information will never get published. That’s why I work with Jason Ferruggia and other credible coaches in the Renegade Inner Circle to answer questions and provide guidance to what really works.

If people see results with deer antler velvet it’s probably the result of another valid argument: The placebo effect. If you believe something works, it sure can seem to have a powerful impact. Nothing is stronger than your mind. And with deer antler velvet, that’s most likely what’s happening.

Just in case you don’t want to take my word, I decided to dig a little deeper. After all, I don’t care about winning arguments. All I care about is helping you find better ways to improve your health and fitness, and make sure you don’t blow your money. So before you dismiss my evidence, you’ll want to read this.
