WHO KEPT AWAT FROM THE SUGAR TODAY?
IF YOU DECIDED TO START EATING WELL, YOU WOULD BE 4 DAYS IN ALREADY!!
IT GOES SO FAST IF YOU JUST LET IT HAPPEN, INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN’T EAT ANYMORE.
IF YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS, TRY SAYING “NO”.
WHEN YOU’RE HAVING SUGAR CRAVINGS, SAY “NO” THEN GO WORKOUT OR SOMETHING.
WHEN IT’S THE WEEKEND AND YOU’RE HAVING TROUBLE CONTROLLING YOURSELF, INSTEAD OF EATING CRAP WHY NOT GO TO THE BEACH OR
GO SPIN, EVERYONE HAS A SPIN BIKE AT HOME RIGHT? WHEN YOU WANNA EAT SHIT, USE IT!
IT’S JUST FOOD, IT’S JUST THAT INSTANTANEOUS SATISFACTION OF SOMETHING SWEET TO SATISFY YOUR ADDICTION.
DON’T LET THAT HAPPEN, YOU CAN ACTUALLY CONTROL WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.
JUST DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TO AVOID YOUR CRAVINGS.
GET ALL THAT CRAP OUT OF YOUR HEAD ABOUT NUTRITION, HERE’S THE DEAL.
FORGET ABOUT SHIT FOOD FOR TWO MONTHS, DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. ALL YOU’RE GOING TO EAT IS HEALTHY SHIT, SO GET EVERY THING ELSE OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT TWO MONTHS FROM NOW IS GOING TO HAPPEN REGARDLESS WHAT YOU DECIDE TO DO, SO WHY NOT TRY SOMETHING NEW?

LIFT:

5 X 5
DB BENCH PRESS
DEAD HANG PULL UP

METCON:

10 METER SPRINT EVERY MINUTE.
AT THE TOP OF EVERY MINUTE SPRINT 10 METERS, THEN ADD 10 METERS BACK AND FORTH EVERY
MINUTE AFTER.
YOUR SPRINTS ARE DONE WHEN YOU DON’T COMPLETE THE AMOUNT OF SPRINTS IN THE NUMBER OF MINUTES.
IF YOU ARE ON MINUTE 10 AND HAVE TO DO 10 SPRINTS BACK AND FORTH, AND YOU ONLY COMPLETE 9, YOU’RE DONE.

ANOTHER DAY STARTED, WHO STARTED THE DAY WITH EATING POORLY?
DID YOU EAT SUGAR THIS MORNING AND TOTALLY FUCKING IGNORE WHAT I SAY?
IS EATING SUGAR THAT IMPORTANT TO YOU? NO, IT’S NOT. IT’S A HABIT THAT IS EASY TO CHANGE.
JUST CHANGE YOUR FUCKING HABITS.
IT’S SIMPLE. MOST OF WHAT WE DO IS HABITUAL, WE’RE NO DIFFERENT THAN DOGS. (IF YOU ARE DIFFERENT WHY ARE YOU STUFFING YOUR FACE BECAUSE IT’S NIGHT TIME) I BET EVEN THE DOG ISN’T STUFFING HIS FACE AT NIGHT. BUT WHAT THE DOG DOES TO IS GOES TO THE FOOD BOWL EVERY MORNING LIKE YOU GO TO THE COOKIE CABINET EVERY NIGHT!
CHANGE THAT SHIT MAN!
TRAIN YOURSELF TO EAT WELL. WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF WILL POWER AND KNOWING HOW TO CHANGE YOUR
HABITS, IT’S NOT THAT DIFFICULT.
THINK ABOUT IT, “YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO”, AM I CORRECT?

LOOK AT ME, I WAS A MISERABLE FUCK, NOW WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM NATURE AND A GOOD ASS WHIPPING I GAVE MYSELF, I’M A DIFFERENT PERSON. NOW I YELL AT YOU GUYS TO GET MY FRUSTRATION OUT! SEE, ANYONE CAN DO IT.

FIRST BE UPFRONT WITH YOURSELF AND SAY “I NEVER WANTED THIS BAD ENOUGH” AND NOW THAT’S GONNA CHANGE.
NOW, FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS THAT IS SIGNALING YOU TO EAT SHIT.
MOST OF YOU PROBABLY EAT CRAP AT NIGHT, YES? UNLESS YOU’RE SO FUCKED UP, YOU JUST EAT IT ALL DAY LONG CAUSE YOU’VE BEEN
GIVEN THE GIFT EATING CRAP AND NOT GAINING WEIGHT NO MATTER WHAT YOU EAT.
ANYWAYS, FIND OUT WHEN OR WHAT IT IS THAT IS CUIING YOU TO EAT CRAP.
ONCE YOU DO AND YOU BECOME AWARE OF IT, CHANGE IT. INSTEAD OF EATING COOKIES AFTER DINNER, GO FOR A WALK OR DO SOME CALISTHENICS. READ A BOOK OR GO FOR A BIKE RIDE, ANYTHING BUT STUFFING YOUR FACE BEFORE BED.
IT SEEMS SIMPLE BUT THAT’S IT, OVER TIME YOU WILL STOP EATING AT NIGHT (IF YOU HAVE ANY WILL POWER AT ALL) AND START WALKING AFTER DINNER.
THIS IS ANOTHER CHALLENGE, WHAT DO U DO WHEN YOUR CHALLENGED TO DO SOMETHING?
YOU IGNORE IT AND HOPE I’LL GO AWAY?
YOU JUST SAY “I CAN’T DO THAT, IT’S TOO HARD TO STOP EATING CRAP”?
DO YOU JUST SAY “EATING ISN’T THAT IMPORTANT, AT LEAST I WORKOUT”

WRITE YOUR SHIT DOWN. WRITE DOWN WHAT AND WHEN YOU’RE GOINT TO EAT AND WHEN YOU’RE GOING TO TRAIN.
THIS IS NOT UNLIKE EVERY OTHER THING YOU’VE DONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU’VE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. IT’S THE SAME FUCKING THING.
JUST MAKE A PLAN AND STICK TO IT.

CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY, CONSISTENCY!!! REMEMBER, EVERY NIGHT THAT PASSES AND YOU SAY “I’LL START TOMORROW”, IS ANOTHER DAY YOU FUCKED UP.
DON’T SAY THAT FOR 60 DAYS, HOW ABOUT THAT.

THAT’S FUCKIN BULLSHIT! THIS IS ME CHALLENGING YOU TO EAT WELL, YES, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WHEN I SAY TO YOU, “I BET YOU CAN’T CONTROL YOURSELF AND EAT WELL FOR 2 MONTHS OUT OF YOUR LIFE”.
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO YOU, ANYTHING? CAUSE IF IT DOESN’T, THAN DON’T EVEN BOTHER TRYING TO CHANGE ANYTHING.

YOU WOULD THINK BY NOW, BEING THAT ALL I TALK ABOUT IS DIETING THAT IT WOULD HAVE SUNK IN ALREADY.

YOU WANT TO LOOK AWESOME? EAT WELL ALL THE TIME, ALL THE TIME. NO EXCUSES.
JUST TRY IT FOR TWO MONTHS, NO SHIT FOR TWO MONTHS. I GUARANTEE YOU WON’T DIE.

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO CONTROL YOUR BEHAVIOR AND EAT HEALTHY, OR… YOU CAN CHOOSE TO LET THE MAJOR FOOD COMPANIES CONTROL YOUR BEHAVIOR BY EXPLOITING
YOUR INSECURITIES. YOUR CHOICE.

SEEMS WHEN I BOMBARD EVERYONE WITH THE EMAILS REGARDING NUTRITION AND SUGAR, SOME OF US
ACTUALLY MAKE A CHANGE. USUALLY AFTER READING OVER AND OVER IT FINALLY STARTS TAKING EFFECT.
SO, HERE’S WHAT WE’RE GOING TO DO.
I’M GOING TO CHALLENGE YOU TO CHANGING YOUR EATING HABITS AND YOUR LIFESTYLE FOR 2 MONTHS.
WE CAN WAIT TO START TILL AUGUST, WHICH SOME OF YOU MAY BE SAYING TO YOURSELF.
YES, WE CAN. WE CAN ALSO IGNORE THIS EMAIL AS PER USUAL AND KEEP DOING WHAT YOU’RE DOING WHICH WILL LEAD TO…
THE RESULTS YOU DON’T WANT.

EATING WELL IS A 24 HOUR A DAY COMMITMENT. YOU MAY THINK YOU’RE EATING WELL, BECAUSE YOU HAD OATMEAL FOR BREAKFAST, A SALAD FOR LUNCH AND CHICKEN AND VEGGIES FOR DINNER, YA KNOW, JUST A HANDFUL OF CHOCOLATES BEFORE BED. BUT, YOU’RE NOT. IF YOU WANT TO DROP WEIGHT AND LOOK GREAT, YOU HAVE TO EAT WELL ALL THE TIME. THERE’S NO… “I’LL START TOMORROW, THERE’S NO… “I’LL JUST HAVE THIS ONE BAGEL OR SLICE OF PIZZA”. IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT.

WHEN YOU GO FOR A JOB INTERVIEW, DO YOU ONLY BEHAVE LIKE AN ADULT 70% OF THE TIME AND THE OTHER 30% YOU ACT LIKE A FUCKIN MORON?

WHEN YOU DRIVE YOUR CAR, DO YOU ONLY LOOK AT THE ROAD 50% OF THE TIME AND THE OTHER 50% YOU SPEND POUNDING BEERS?
WAIT, WHAT? WELL, WHATEVER IT DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT EITHER.
100% OF YOUR DEDICATION IS WHAT IT TAKES.
JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF AND CONQUERED.

YOU WANT TO KNOW THE SECRET BETWEEN THE PEOPLE IN THE MAGAZINES AND YOU, I’M SURE YOU’VE ALL THOUGHT ABOUT
IT RIGHT? HOW DO THEY LOOK LIKE THAT? WHY CAN’T I DO THAT?
ONE OF MY TRAINING PARTNERS WAS NICOLE BASS, DON’T LOOK HER UP… JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
ANYWAYS, SHE WAS AN IFBB PRO BODYBUILDER. BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT IT WAS I WAS SHOCKED TO WHEN I FOUND OUT.
HERE’S THE DIFFERENCE. “IF SOMEONE IS RIPPED, THEY EAT WELL ALL THE TIME”
THAT’S THE SECRET, EVERY TIME YOU SAY, “I’LL HAVE THE COOKIES TONIGHT AND I’LL START EATING WELL TOMORROW”, OR EVEN
“I’LL JUST HAVE A LITTLE CREAMER IN MY COFFEE”
YEAH, THAT DOESN’T EXIST TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO LOOK WELL AND BE HEALTHY.

THERE YOU HAVE IT, THE SECRET TO LOOKING LIKE A SCULPTURE.
IF YOU ARE SITTING THERE SAYING, “THAT’S BULLSHIT, I EAT WELL. CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY YOU GIVE 100% TO YOUR NUTRITION?
CAUSE UNLESS YOUR GIFTED OR A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.

FOR TWO MONTHS, CHANGE YOUR EATING HABITS. PICK SOMETHING AND STICK WITH IT, CONSISTENCY!!!!
ANYTHING, PALEO, KETO, WEIGHT WATCHERS, FASTING, ETC…
PICK WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU… (FASTING AND NO SUGAR) WHATEVER YOU FIND WILL BE THE EASIEST TO ATTAIN YOUR GOAL, DO IT.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR VALUABLE TIME TO COME TO THE GYM, MAKE IT WORTH IT.
GET YOUR MIND STRAIGHT, YOU COME TO THE GYM TO WORK HARD TO BECOME MORE HEALTHY AND FIT. SO, GET YOURSELF IN THE RIGHT MINDSET.

EVERYONE TAKE PICTURES OF THEMSELVES IN THEIR UNDERWEAR OR SHORTS, BIKINI WHATEVER YOU WANT. JUST MAKE SURE YOU CAN SEE YOUR WHOLE BODY.
THEN IN TWO MONTHS FROM NOW WE’RE GONNA HAVE A GET TOGETHER AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO BRING THEIR BEFORE AND AFTER PICS.
TO PROVE THIS, WE’RE GOING TO HAVE A POOL PARTY AND EVERYONE HAS TO SHOW UP IN THEIR SWIMMING TRUNKS.

THIS IS A FUCKING CHALLENGE FROM ME TO YOU.
START EATING WELL AND CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
FOR TWO MONTHS, NO FUCKING EXCUSES.
HERE’S THE DEAL… YOU CAN IMPRESS THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF ME AND EARN THE RESPECT YOUR DESERVE FROM YOURSELF BY FACING THIS CHALLENGE HEAD ON LIKE A FUCKING GRIZZLY. OR, YOU CAN ACCEPT WHAT YOU ARE CURRENTLY DOING AND NOT ACCEPT MY CHALLENGE.

DON’T TELL ME WHO’S DOING WHAT, I DON’T WANT TO KNOW. I WANT TO SEE IT FOR MY OWN EYES.
DON’T BE TELLIN ME YOU LOST 5 LBS. I’LL TELL YOU WHEN YOU LOST 5LBS.
YOU CAN MAKE A DECISION TO TAKE THIS CHALLENGE SERIOUSLY FOR TWO MONTHS OF YOUR LIFE, ONLY TWO MONTHS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
SEE IF YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO DO THIS.

DO NOT TELL ME WHY YOU CAN’T DO THIS, JUST DON’T TELL ME ANYTHING AT ALL.

THIS IS YOUR FUCKIN LIFE, ANYONE OR ANYTHING CONTROLLING YOU AT THIS MOMENT IS DONE IF YOU SAY IT IS.
YOU CHOOSE…

SKILL:

MUSCLE UPS
30 REPS FOR TIME.
IF YOU CAN’T DO MUSCLE UPS, DO WHAT YOU CAN’T FOR 30 REPS.
YOU’LL SEE PEOPLE DOING 1 MUSCLE UP AT A TIME. THAT’S FINE, THEN YOU DO ONE CHEST TO BAR OR ONE CHIN OVER BAR PULL UP, OR ONE RING ROW.
JUST DO NOT MAKE THIS EASY. THE ONLY “EASY” SHOULD BE IF SOMEONE CAN BANG OUT MUSCLE UPS, 30 IN A ROW.
THEN I APPLAUD EASY.
FOR EVERYONE ELSE, IF YOU CAN DO ONE MUSCLE UP, I EXPECT YOU TO GET 30.
IF YOU CAN DO ONE CHEST TO BAR, GET 30. IF YOU CAN GET ONE PULL UP WITH A SKINNY BAND AND YOU ALWASY YOU THE THICK ONE, GET 30!
GET IT?

METCON:

100 BURPEES FOR TIME
THERE’S NOT TARGET TO JUMP TOO, YOU SIMPLY HAVE TO DO A FULL RANGE OF MOTION BURPEE 100 TIMES.
IF ANYONE DOESN’T COMPLETE FULL RANGE OF MOTION, EVERYONE WILL HAVE TO START OVER FROM 1.
THIS DOESN’T SEEM TO DIFFICULT RIGHT? YOU JUST HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND JUMP AT THE TOP WITH YOUR HIPS, KNEES AND ANKLES
EXTENDED. WE CAN DO THIS RIGHT?

OK, MAYBE THE NO SUGAR THING IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH?
LISTEN, IT TAKES CONSISTENCY. ANYTHING YOU DO IS GOING TO WORK, JUST BE CONSISTENT WITH IT.
YES, THERE’S DIFFERENT BENEFITS THAT COME WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIETS BUT IN THE END IF YOU ARE
LOOKING TO MAKE A CHANGE. YOU HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT WITH YOUR EATING, THIS IS THE ONLY
THING THAT WILL MAKE YOU SEE DRAMATIC CHANGES.
WHEN YOU “EAT AT NIGHT” AND SAY, I’LL START TOMORROW. THAT DOESN’T WORK.
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS, YOU DON’T SAY THINGS LIKE “I’LL START TOMORROW”.
JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IN LIFE, IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH, YOU’LL NEVER FIND AN EXCUSE.
BUT WHEN YOU’RE NOT CERTAIN ABOUT IT, EXCUSES ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE.

EXECUTING! HOW FUCKIN AWESOME IS THAT.
IT’S INCREDIBLE HOW YOUR BODY CAN CHANGE WHEN YOU COMBINE TRAINING WITH EATING WELL.
IF YOU HAVEN’T REALLY TRIED FOCUSING ON THE TWO, AT THE SAME TIME, TRY IT.
JUST TO SEE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE, IT’S WORTH IT, YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE IF YOU DON’T DO IT.
