Look at Diana or Diane, I’ve never really been 100% sure of her real name but regardless, look at how amazing she looks at 57 years old!!!!! That’s her son Christopher, good lookin kid. This is what kid’s look like these days? They’re all good lookin, WTF! Anyway’s it was Christopher’s Engagement party. Here’s the amazing part. Diana is wearing her daughter’s dress!!! BTW, Diana is the one who fell last week while running, rolled on the ground and got right the fuck back up and ran to the gym to workout. That’s her! Isn’t that fuckin incredible! I know that’s a big thing for women, fitting into their daughter’s clothes and she’s doing it! That’s cause she eats well and has been doing Crossfit for 17 fucking years!!! After 17 years she still runs races and lifts heavy as fuck. Imagine if she decided to quit training and eating well years ago, she’d be moving like an old lady wearing a fuckin tent to the party. You all need to realize how fucking important it is to eat well and train. Think of how life would be if you didn’t, a fuckin mess, that’s what it would be. Don’t take your shit for granted, it takes work and dedication to do what Diana does. It doesn’t take much to be a mess. Congratulations

It’s Mitch’s birthday, or it was Mitch’s birthday, either way Mitch is 54 years old and still squatting heavy as fuck. At 54 years old Mitch comes in the gym and kills himself no less than he used to do when he was 34 years old. When it comes to training age means nothing to Mitch. It just means he looks older, we all look older, who gives a fuck, but he’s probably in better shape than most 30 year old men. Mitch also knows the value of mobility training, he stretches 7 hours a day. Six or seven years ago Mitch couldn’t overhead squat a PVC without fucking it up, now he Overhead squats 205 lbs with pristine form and full range of motion. It’s true, I’ve seen it myself and I don’t believe shit. You know what this strength and mobility does for Mitch? You want to know? Ask a 54 year old who doesn’t train and eats shit how difficult life is, then go find yourself a 74 year old who has never trained or ate properly and ask them if they wish they were stronger and more mobile. Barring cancer or some terminal illness it’s gonna take getting hit by a fucking truck to kill Mitch, not falling and breaking a hip.
1 minute Rest Shoot for 20/15 cals for each exercise and adjust from there. Set your baseline on the first round and try to keep it for all 10 rounds
I was having a conversation with someone today, I thought it might be of help so I’m gonna tell you what it was. We were talking about eating (shocker) this persons response to my question, “why do you keep losing weight and then gaining it back” was, I think I reward myself for eating well and then start eating shit again. I said, you gotta stop thinking whatever it is that’s going through your head and tell yourself, this is a pattern. Why do I keep up with the same pattern if it doesn’t serve me well? Tell yourself, all I gotta do is change my usual pattern to a new one. If you sabotage yourself every time you eat well you, that’s a pattern. Doesn’t matter why you’re doing it cause you’re doing it unconsciously. What does matter is that you recognize it’s a pattern in your behavior and it can be changed. It’s easier to change a pattern than it is to sit there and try to figure out what’s making you do the same thing over and over again, cause like I said, you ain’t doing it consciously, it’s just a continuously running program. Change the program. You don’t have to keep doing this same shit over and over again just because it’s what you’ve done for so long.

Summers over, I guess this it’s time to get back into shape for next summer? Is that how it works? You know what works better? Not falling out of shape in the first place just because the season have changed. Is this like going on vacation and throwing your diet out the window? Don’t you feel like shit when you eat crap for a couple days? You enjoy feeling like shit on vacation sittin on the fuckin bowl? I’m not understanding this. Do you feel like less crap eating shit over the Summer as opposed to Winter, Spring or Fall? I would think you would feel even crappier because it’s the Summer. Is this because your reason for eating well is solely to look good and not to stay healthy? I think your body is more concerned with you feeding it well ALL the time and not just some of the time. Let’s change this silly attitude and adopt a new one. How about you eat well 80% of the time no matter where you are or what time of the year it is. Wait! Is this also like eating shitty on holiday’s because it’s a holiday? So, the day after a holiday you enjoy feeling like crap? I’m trying to figure this out.

David is a new member, he just started with us. He’s under the impression that he needs to train more in order to get more muscle definition, but we know the truth, right? People, how do we get more muscle definition? C’mon, you know the answer. Spit it out and respond to the email. We eat well!!! We CONSISTENTLY eat well!!! That’s how we get muscle definition. This doesn’t mean eat well 4 or 5 days out of the week, or eat well for breakfast and lunch then fuck up at dinner. Being a new member, David gets a pass on this one. I’m sure none of you would ever say that to me, right? It’s very simple, David. Eat Meat, Chicken, Fish, Eggs and green vegetables. You may not have heard this before, people don’t like to spread the word because there’s no way to make money by spreading this information. There’s a lot more money in creating a ridiculous diet and writing a book about it. It’s kinda like keeping the cure for cancer under wraps. There you go, David!! The secret to looking how you want to look. Very simple, Meat, Chicken, Fish, Eggs and Green Veggies. If you didn’t read it, don’t eat it. Leave the bananas and oatmeal at the door.
