New TT Meatheads Off-Season Workout

Despite training for two Tough Mudders and filming 40 hours of
brutal bodyweight exercise videos (coming soon), I managed to
build my squat strength back up to 310 pounds for reps (yesterday).

That despite my low bodyweight of only 170 pounds (thanks, Tough
Mudder training - sarcasm) and even though I'm almost 40 years old
(wow, does that mean I have to start acting like a grown-up now?).

These results have me so excited that I put my latest workout into
the new TT Meatheads: Off-Season workout for you.

 

You'll learn the benefits of squatting TWICE in the same workout,
plus the cool new Press-Row supersets, the Dead-Stop Barbell Row,
the Front Squat-Conditioning move superset, and more.

 

And you will get this program as a bonus when you grab Vince
Del Monte and Ben Pakulski's new Hypertrophy-Max program.

Get NEW muscle-building workouts from Ben, Vince, and Craig here

Once you get started with Ben and Vince, just email us at
TurbulenceTrainingHelp@gmail.com and we'll send TWO bonuses:

1) The New TT Meatheads: Off-Season program - perfect for building
strength in squats, presses, and deadlifts --- and the best way to
take advantage of all the amazing holiday eating you will do over
the next 8 weeks until the final whistle blows on SuperBowl Sunday

2) Anabolic Finishers from Certified Turbulence Trainer, Mikey
Whitfield. You know Mike and love his programs, and this is a new
twist on his proven methods. You'll gain muscle fast with fun
finishers you can add to your short muscle building sessions.

In the new TT Meatheads Off-Season program, you'll discover how to
build chiseled muscle and lose belly fat at the same time with this
unique program. In fact, one of my favorite supersets, the Snatch
Grip Deadlift and Bodysaw in Workout C alone will take care of that.

I will also reveal how to use the classic meathead exercise,
Barbell 21's in a TT program, along with some other Meathead gems
like the Incline Hammer Curl and the ab-shredding Spiderman
Pull-ups (tough challenge and SMOKES your lats).

My other favorite supersets are round 2 in the Big Legs workout
(exercise 2A for your quads is one of my personal love-hate
relationships with training).

And you'll have an incredible upper body muscle pump by the end of
round 3 of Workout B...and then you'll still have one of the most
insane Meathead Arms supersets left to finish you off.

Finally, save up your best curse-word insults to throw at me when
you hit exercise 3A of Workout C. You've never worked your upper
back this exact way before. Good times!

But the only way to get the new TT Meatheads: Off-Season is to get
it as a bonus when you get Hypertrophy-Max from Ben and Vince.

Just think of this Meatheads workout as a Naughty-and-Nice Christmas
gift from ol' CB.

After all, we might as well use the extra calories this time of
year to build muscle..."off-season" muscle.

Train with passion and intensity,

Make it a Merry Meathead Christmas with this new Off-Season program.

Better Day and Better Squat

The last couple of weeks have had me way off my sleep schedule. I'd been getting only 6 hours a night due to business meetings, travel, and work deadlines. It's our busiest time of the year trying to get our $100,000 ETR Transformation Contest up and ready for Dec. 26th.

Finally, after a rough day yesterday, I was able to have a great sleep. And it showed in my squat workout today. Best session of the year hitting 310 for reps. My squat went in the toilet a couple of years back due to a non-training related back injury, but I've been battling back and it's about 75% of my 2006 best (when I was 20 pounds heavier).

Lots of room for improvement. I'm excited for 2013. No more Tough Mudders either to ruin my squat programs.

So no matter what you are going through, stay strong. And here are some cool resources for you.

Back to my ups-and-downs...

Yesterday was a terrible day, but today has been one of the best work days of the year.

So many problems solved...all because of going through yesterday's dips, persevering, not giving up, staying positive, and having those uncomfortable conversations that would have been easier to avoid.

Hope your day has turned around if it started off wrong...never give up. Stay strong and get STRONGER. You can do it. Truly believe in yourself. You rock!

Measure PROGRESS, not perfection. Understand you will never reach perfection...but you must celebrate your journey as you improve from point A to point B. Make each day better than your last.

Stay Strong!

No matter how tough your week last week, or what lies ahead, always stay strong.

Success comes in spurts. You'll work and work and work & feel like you're getting nowhere, & suddenly, WHOOOOOSH. Success! Never give up.

Success happens by taking action every day, strong and steady, by overcoming obstacles and powering through the dips, by trudging onward through tough days and getting energized by great days.

The backbone for your success are the the goals you've set and the clear vision you have for your future. Each action you take brings a small victory, and each accomplishment is a giant step closer to your big breakthrough.

Stay strong, get stronger.

Be proud of yourself for taking action, getting out of your comfort zones, and getting closer to the business and life of your dreams. Stay strong. Get stronger. Let's have another amazing week.

Number one workout study of the year

BOOM.

On Saturday afternoon I received another "intense workout"
interview request, this time from a writer at Men's Fitness.

I was excited to share the #1 workout study and tip that was
discovered in 2012.

In that study, subjects doing bodyweight exercises for just
4 minutes got better fitness results than subjects doing
30 minutes of slow cardio.

Reference:
"Extremely low volume, whole-body aerobic-resistance training
improves aerobic fitness and muscular endurance in females."
Appl Physiol Nutr Metab. 2012 Dec;37(6):1124-31.

That's why I went straight into the TT Exercise Lab and got to
work on creating a bunch of TT 20-10 Revolution Workouts.

Now they are ALL yours right here for less than 10 bucks, PLUS
you'll get my 15-Minute TT Metabolic Resistance Training too:

that I wouldn't miss a session.

It's simple tricks and tips like this that keep me RIPPED all

Workout and Habit Contest Winners

Great workout, slightly disappointing shake.

My workout today: DB Clean and Press, Deadlift, Good Morning, Military Press.

For the shake, as I mentioned earlier today, using anything other than BioTrust protein takes a shake from tasting great to just mediocre.

Unfortunately, I've run out of BioTrust chocolate, so I used another brand. As a result, my shake went from a 10 to a 6.5.

I also substituted cashew butter for peanut butter...I'm trying to use up a jar I've had for a long time.

The Chocolate-Cashew-Raspberry Shake

Ingredients:
2 scoops BioTrust Low Carb Chocolate All-Natural Protein
1 cup unsweetened almond milk or Hemp Bliss
1 tbsp all-natural peanut butter
1/2 cup frozen raspberries
1/2-1 cup frozen spinach

Directions: Put all ingredients in a blender and create a shake. You'll SWEAR it's ice-cream (and NO, you can't taste the spinach).

Now if you're looking for workouts, here are some for beginners:

4 Minute Milkshake Chef

Being the creative chef that I am, I swifted up something you wont' see 

ANYWHERE else. A true CB-TT classic, the "Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Raspberry
Jam" flavored blender drink.

This recipe is a great for breakfast or as a delicious after-exercise treat. 

 

NOTE: It does NOT taste nearly as good with anything other than BioTrust.

 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Raspberry Jam Milkshake

Ingredients:

2 scoops BioTrust Low Carb Chocolate 100% All-Natural Time-released Protein

Directions:  Put all ingredients in a blender and create a shake.

You'll SWEAR it's ICE-CREAM!

5 Simple Steps to Building Muscle

In general, almost everything works for building muscle, and no one has proof that any type of training is better than another. Muscle building needs volume of training and volume of food, and a change in the training on a regular basis. That's all that matters.

Keep things simple. Use these steps:

1) Make sure you are eating enough protein (1g/pound bodyweight is MORE than enough) and calories. This is not hard.

2) Train with enough volume. There's no exact study I can point to, but about 40 quality repetitions per muscle group seems to work in many studies for muscle growth, and this should be done 2-3 x's per week.

3) Train close to failure with a weight you can lift 6-15 times. It's possible that even higher reps work, but you just won't get as strong.

4) Switch your program on a regular basis. Experience suggests 3 weeks for advanced and up to 6 weeks for beginner/intermediate.

5) See rule #1 again because you won't build muscle without calories. That's where most folks go wrong.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Eliminate the distractions and bottlenecks in your life. Make a list and commit to eliminating one each week. Connect with your social support group and tell them about your changes. This accountability always helps.

“Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau

Fix Your Mindset. You must truly believe that you are capable of success. You must truly believe that you are the type of person that follows the habits that will help you reach your goal. You must truly believe that you are not the type of person that engages in the wrong behaviors. Once your mindset is right, your behaviors and habits will change allowing you to achieve incredible results.

Identify one action that you can take TODAY that will take you closer to your major goal. Then take it. Make progress every day.

Take Action…take baby steps. Stay strong. Visualize yourself reaching your goals. Keep a positive attitude and you will remain motivated and you will continue to make progress. Fill up your motivation tank daily by connecting with positive people. You really can make your life incredible if you are persistent.

Stay strong, take action, and never give up on what is important to you.

Great Bench and Row Workout

Fantastic Meathead Wednesday workout today.

Today's training: Medium Grip Bench, Spiderman pullup, db incline, db row, overhead squat, dead-stop wide-grip barbell row. Hit the back hard the right way.

But you know, I watched a bunch of people do silly things in the gym today. Here 10 Exercises to stop doing
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/10-exercises-to-stop/

I discuss lunges, some presses, a row, the wrong way to do dips, and more.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Remember...

If you want to change, it all starts with believing in yourself. And that's possible, because after all, no matter what you want to change, you HAVE done it before. There's PROOF you can do it. You've gone to the gym before - and you can do it AGAIN. You've skipped dessert before - you CAN do it again. Change your beliefs about yourself, and you'll change your behaviors. Change your behaviors, and you'll change your habits. Change your habits, and you'll change your life. You CAN do it.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Stand up to a challenge today. Face a fear square on. Attack an attitude that is holding you back. Make today your day.

Never forget that it is just as easy to be positive as it is to be negative…as easy to say helpful words as it is to say harmful ones. Make the right choice. It’s easy…

…“I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Negative criticism from others must not matter to us when we know we are doing the right thing. What matters is the number of people that we can help by taking action in thought, word, and deed. Stay strong and don’t let anyone bring you down.

And if you feel like quitting, just say: Quit? No way. Do this instead

Be a hero instead:

Toys!

Today is my last day in Denver and now it's back to Toronto for a 4-week Christmas break from travel. Time to play with the dog, do some Christmas shopping, and begin prepping for an incredibly busy Transformation Season starting on Wed, Dec 26th with our $100,000 ETR Transformation Contest. More details soon.

But yesterday was a big day.

It was our first ever EarlytoRise.com Toys for Tots drive here in Denver and thanks to 45 amazing friends and "family" members, we broke through our expectations.

The final tally is in and our ETR Network was able to purchase $60,065 in toys (over 2000 toys) for the Denver area Toys for Tots drive. Thank you to all readers that contributed to http://www.earlytorise.com/toysfortots/#

You can see some of the photos over on www.SuccessQnA.com including a picture of a giant flatbed  truck filled with Toys For Tots with the help of some Marines in Lakewood, Colorado.

Also had a couple of good questions on yesterday's Facebook QnA:

Q: What are the best 2 time management & productivity books you have read? - Andy

Answer:
1) No BS Time Management by Dan Kennedy
2) No BS Ruthless Management of People and Profits

Q: I am 25 and want to go into personal training. I have a biology degree but have not been able to get a stable job with it. (Currently making $12/hr). Would you recommend going back to pursue a masters to get a better job and doing personal training on the side? - Seth

Answer:

If you want to be a personal trainer, get a certification and more importantly, a mentor - find the best, most successful trainer in your area and do anything you possibly can to become their apprentice.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Focus on improving yourself and you’ll improve your lot in life. Focus on planning ahead to overcome obstacles, rather than reacting. Be a driver, not a reactionary. Be the cause, not the effect.

Last night with Ferruggia

Last night my buddy Jason Ferruggia, one of the world's most popular strength coaches, arrived in Denver. We headed over to Elway's steakhouse for a near ultimate Denver experience - eating steak while watching the Broncos. Jay had the buffalo rib-eye while I had the regular bone-in rib-eye, my "go to" meal at any steakhouse.

Later this morning we're going to hit the gym for an upper body workout. Jay has so much cool stuff going on now that he's moved out to California (he even had a chance to meet Arnold at Arnold's latest book release last month). But Jay still has his Renegade Gym back in Wachtung, New Jersey, a great place to train.

One thing Jay and I have in common is that we've made a TON of mistakes in our lives. But we keep on pushing. We learn from those mistakes. And each thing we've "failed" on in the past just makes us better the next time we do the same thing in the future.

It's the classic "failing forward". Momentum through mistakes.

Nothing wrong with that. It's a fact of life.

So keep pushing. Keep moving forward. Keep taking action. Continue to make mistakes, adjust course, and do things better in the future.

Admit to – and learn from – your mistakes. Mistakes are actually great things that happen to all of us…because with the knowledge you gain from them, you are able to achieve the best things in your life. Without the lows in life, the highs would never really seem that high.

Stay strong.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” - George Bernard Shaw

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.” – Quaker Proverb

PPS - That link doesn't work on phones, sorry. Just on regular computers.

Had a super tough non-traditional workout yesterday. For 3 straight hours I spoke into a camera and delivered presentations on Goal Setting and Time Management for the Early to Rise $100,000 Transformation Contest.

It wiped me out. My back was sore, and even my face muscles were exhausted from smiling (I'm trying to master the art of smiling while talking...it's tough for a grumpy old man like myself).

Before that "workout" I did some meathead upper body training and tomorrow will be a fun workout because I'm training with Jason Ferruggia of the uber-popular workout blog, www.JasonFerruggia.com. He gets 10,000 people per day to his content. Great stuff.

Fortunately, this is a deload week and it coincided perfectly with my travel schedule to Denver. I need to be at peak fitness for our ETR Toys for Tots shopping spree on Saturday. More details here

We were even featured in the Denver Examiner yesterday.

But you can't let fatigue stop you. You can't let yourself become the biggest obstacle in the way of your success.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
One of my favorite harsh truth about success/"cold bucket of water to the face" quotes:

“The failure to act is much more often the product of inner, emotional resistance than external resistance. But to move forward you must give up your story, whether it is excuses about your childhood, lack of education, your ‘bad luck’, your unsupportive family, your low metabolism, where you live, etc, etc. Either say, “no” to achievement OR dig in and get to the bottom of the persistent incongruence between what you say and what you do. It is OK to admit you are not willing to pay the price – and by doing so, that will stop self-sabotage.” – Dan Kennedy

Now on the bright side of things:

“Each moment of our life, we either invoke or destroy our dreams.” - Stuart Wilde

..... Everything you do, every choice you make, either takes you closer to your goals or away from them. Choose wisely.

And perhaps the most important words of wisdom I can give you at all:

Never give up on something that is truly important to you.

Stay strong,

PS - When dealing with negative people...

It doesn’t matter that the ‘haters’ are trying to pull you down…you’re so far ahead of them that they’ll never reach you. Every action step takes you leaps and bounds away from their negativity. Never look back and never let them get inside your head.

How to build muscle at home

When I was 16 years old I started building muscle out in the basement of my parent's old farmhouse. There were 3 muscle building factors that I knew to use:

 

1) Keep my reps between 6-15. It's a wide range, but you want variety.

2) Use a variety of different muscle groups.
3) Train hard - but not every day - and recover hard.

 

I got great results...but my results would have been better if I had read this free muscle building book here.

Tough Day Mindset

Tough day? This will help.

"The best lessons are usually learned from failure. You musn't beat yourself up if you fail - just pick yourself up, learn as much as you can from the experience and get on with the next challenge...The brave may not live forever, but the cautious never live at all." - Richard Branson

Things have been very busy for me at Turbulence Training and Early to Rise as we get ready to launch a new home workout program and our ETR $100,000 Transformation Contest. 2013 is going to be crazy, but we always stumble along the way. Nothing is perfect. That's why I look at failure as a good thing.

"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them." - Tom Krause

Tough times also bring out character. Our reactions, our expectations, and our mindset determine our success:

"Sow a thought and you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you need more mental power, check this out. The 12 Rules I live by (what are yours?)
- http://www.earlytorise.com/12-rules/

And always stay strong.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

Stay positive.

“You get what you expect, not what you want. Fill your life with positive expectations. Demand the best. Attitude and desire contribute to 90% of your achievement.” – Kekich Credo #86

Keep pushing. And make the right choices.

"Most people think – ‘Well - this action won't hurt me, will it?’ I get my clients to think, ‘Will this help me or not? Is this a positive step or not?’ Once you get that -- you're a hit.” – Alwyn Cosgrove

And don't wait for January 1st to change your life...December 5th is just as good a day as any to finally go after what you want in life.

PS - Struggling with networking? Here's my harsh truth about it...

...and wisdom from my friend Steve:

- http://www.earlytorise.com/better-than-networking/

Dedicate your career to making people "richer, happier, and sexier" and to making everyone you know 10X's more successful than you are, and you'll never have to worry about your financial independence.

“Many of us are fortunate to be blessed with the ability to succeed – not for our sole benefit, but so we may apply the result of our success to assist others.” – Frank McKinney

"You cannot brighten another's path without lighting your own." - Frank McKinney ..... go forth and help people and add value to the world.

Free Muscle Buildiing Books

Yesterday I was reading the December issue of Men's Health magazine

while on a flight to Denver and I stumbled across interesting survey 

results on page 36.

 

In a study from Western Illinois University, women rated abs as as "men's

sexiest muscle" followed by biceps, pecs, obliques, and triceps.

 

On the other hand, men rated a woman's butt as their favorite muscle,

followed by abs, obliques, quads, and "pecs".

 

Regardless of the order, what matters is that muscles are sexy.

 

That's why you need to read this free muscle building book here.

December 3rd Resolutions

Don't wait for January 1st to change your life...December 3rd is just as good a day as any to finally go after what you want in life.

And you'll love this Christmas workout finisher here (make sure you sing along with it):
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/intense-workout-finisher/

My workout today:
Hang Clean, Deadlift, Good Morning, Military Press. I was pretty zonked by the end.

Now it's off to Denver for the week where my meetings, filming, and socializing will culminate with our ETR 10,000 Toys for Tots Drive - www.EarlytoRise.com/ToysforTots

Our goal is to deliver over 10,000 toys to the Marines' toy drive. Please chip in if you can.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
“Do not be critics, you people, I beg you. I was a critic and I wish I could take it all back because it came from a smelly and ignorant place in me, and spoke with a voice that was all rage and envy. Do not dismiss a book until you have written one, and do not dismiss a movie until you have made one, and do not dismiss a person until you have met them. It is a lot of work to be open-minded and generous and understanding and forgiving and accepting, but that is what matters. What matters is saying yes.” – Dave Eggers

Instead of being a critic, add VALUE.

Add value to someone’s life today. Go out of your way to give someone assistance. No matter how much you give someone else, you’ll actually receive the most benefits. You can’t out-give the universe.

And here's something better than a to do list

 'If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim. And I’d despise the one who gave up." — Abraham Maslow .....Take Action Today #TAT and never, ever give up

Yeah buddy!

Twenty five more workouts filmed for the new TT Home Workout Revolution program. Yeah buddy!

This is going to be the most amazing TT program ever created, signed, sealed, and delivered.

We put ourselves through the ringer yesterday, and we still have another 20 workouts to film today, including some Strength and Muscle Accelerators. Oh baby, it's going to be serious.

We'll be at Xtreme Results in Lapeer, Michigan, with Certified Turbulence Trainer, Mike Whitfield, and the owner of the gym, the "Human Dynamo", Certified Turbulence Trainer, Brian Kalakay. These guys are warriors. You should see the workouts I'm putting them through.

Today's Kickbutt Manly Mindset Tips:
"It is not the critic that counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or the doer of deeds could have them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the Arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but he who does actually strive t

o do the deed; who knows the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls, who know neither victory nor defeat." — Teddy Roosevelt

"Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom." - General George S. Patton 

..... Keep going after what is important to you, no matter how dark the days or deep the dips are right now. Never give up. Never stop. You WILL be a success.

'If I were dropped out of a plane into the ocean and told the nearest land was a thousand miles away, I’d still swim. And I’d despise the one who gave up." — Abraham Maslow

Zig Believes in You

Heading off to Michigan today to supervise and participate in the final round of the TT Home Workout Revolution filming. There aren't a lot of workouts to do, so I'll be heading to the gym in a bit for my regular bench press workout.

Meathead Friday will be: Bench, pullups, db press, and db rows.
 
Yesterday's workout in the basement of the old farmhouse was: KB Swings, Snatches, Windmills, Lunge, and Power Wheel Rollouts.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
It was a bit of a sad week. Zig Ziglar, a man who paved the way for many, passed away yesterday. He helped millions of people, and is the author of these powerful quotes: 

"You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want." - Zig Ziglar

 “You were born to win, but to be a winner, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.” - Zig Ziglar

“Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful...If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost.” - Zig Ziglar

...Stay strong, and never ever give up on something that is important to you. Never forget Zig believes in you.

 “The best way to get started is to get started. Life rewards action…not reaction. Wait for nothing. Attack life. Don’t plan to death or ask for permission…but act now…and apologize later.” – Kekich Credo #81

Excessive Cardio vs Renegade Cardio

10 years ago people called me crazy for warning against the dangers

of excessive cardio. It doesn't work, I said, and you'll get overuse 

injuries that can ruin your life.

 

Well, today, not only am I no longer a lone voice in the wilderness, but

major newspapers - like Tuesday's Wall Street Journal - are reporting on studies 

that show excessive cardio harms the heart.

 

According to the WSJ, research to be published next month in the
British journal, "Heart", says:

 

Running 20-25 miles or more per week eliminates the benefit of exercise

as you grow older and causes excessive wear-and-tear on the heart.

 

Of course, exercise ADDICTS will ignore dispute this information, and 

runners will continue to post "I hate Craig Ballantyne" articles, but the 

#truth about long slow cardio and running is this...

 

1) You can get better fat burning results in less time

 

2) Less exercise = less wear-and-tear on the body, including your heart,

skeletal muscles, and your joints

 

3) You'll have more time to do other important things if you aren't out

running for 200-250 minutes per week (assuming a 10-minute mile)

 

Even Dr. Kenneth Cooper, the father of 'aerobics' has said, "If you are
running more than 15 miles a week, you are doing it for some reason
other than health."

 

So listen, if you want to exercise for fitness, fat loss, and live a long life

full of vitality, there's no better way to train than with short, burst workouts.

 

That's why I recommend Renegade Cardio training <= 51 workouts here

 

In this program, you'll get dozens of workouts that last 10 minutes or less

and give you faster fat burning than any type of cardio EVER will.

Training and Filming

Early workout and then off to the dentist. Finally some traveling back to the farm today. Heading to Michigan on Friday for more workout filming for new TT Home Revolution follow along program. Going to be rough. Gotta get prepared for it. 20 workouts in 20 hours.

Today's training:
Squats, Jumps, Lunges, Leg Curls, Stability Ball Rollout.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
Failure isn't bad. Failure isn't final. If there is one thing I know after having observed this crazy world for 37 years, it's that you can SURVIVE almost anything and come back better and stronger than ever before. Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from achieving the success you deserve.

People respect people that are sure of themselves. Don’t be wishy-washy. Be polite, confident, and clear. Treat others with respect, but don’t be afraid to stand for what you believe in…

...“There is something deep within us that responds to those who level with us, who don’t suggest or compromise for us.” – Susan Scott, Fierce Leadership

“There are real limits and self-imposed limits that masquerade as real limits. You have to be able to tell the difference and refuse to be governed by false limits. Further, others will attempt to impose limits by their opinions. Screw ’em. Your opinion of you is far more vital than anyone else’s or even everyone else’s.” – Dan Kennedy explaining his biggest lesson from Dr. Maxwell Maltz and Psycho-Cybernetics

Taking Kenny Rogers Training Advice Today

I was tempted to hit an extra, but unnecessary workout today. With all the cool programs we've been designing for our new follow-along videos, you just want to go and try them out.

BUT, that's where the Kenny Rogers workout philosophy comes into play.

You see, I've been working out for over 20 years, and amazingly, it had to take almost 20 years of training to figure out how NOT to hurt myself.

But I have Kenny Rogers, the country singer, to thank for my new no-injury ways.

You see, this year I've been following his advice (sing it with me):

"You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run."

Following that advice, I now quit while I'm ahead.

I don't go in for that extra workout.

I don't do that extra set.

I don't push to failure.

I train smart.

I stop after a great set.

I take that day off.

You must too.

That said, if it's Training Day, then you must train hard but safe but hard.

"To get something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done." #TakeActionToday

Here's some great feedback on my classic www.TurbulenceTraining.com program:

"I started with intermediate tt and have worked to last week of tt2k4 now looking forward to tt2k5 next week. Been gaining around 3 pounds of muscle a month and losing 3 to 5 pounds of fat since beginning. I love it." - Matt Cox, over on www.TurbulenceTrainingFanpage.com

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
If you are waiting for a sign, this is it. I give you permission to take action today. Just start. 5 minutes today. Whatever it is you are trying to improve, give it 5 minutes each day this week. Next week,10 minutes. You can do it. What are you afraid of?

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking, and don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart,…you’ll know when you find it.” — Steve Jobs

Renegade Cardio

Of all the fitness experts in the industry, this is the guy that I've spent
the most time in the gym with...

 

...and the most time at the Jersey Shore, and hanging out in NYC, texting
Seinfeld jokes with, and going to Chicago Cubs and Lollapalooza concerts.

 

That expert (and one of my best friends) is Jason Ferruggia.

 

Training with Jay at his gym in Jersey is Meathead heaven, even when 

we're doing Renegade Cardio with the Prowler or Battling Ropes, or 

some crazy muscle-building finishers like curls with chains.

 

The most ripped physiques in the world, like those of NFL wide receivers
or UFC fighters, are built with high intensity conditioning; not traditional
cardio. Those guys can't afford to lose muscle or power. 

 

That's why they use Renegade Cardio training <= 51 workouts here

• Bodyweight Circuits- A collection of finishers based on nothing but
  bodyweight exercises that can be done anywhere, anytime. On the road,
  in a hotel room, on the beach, you name it.
  
• "One in the Chamber"- A collection of finishers based on only one
  exercise or training implement.

• Kettelbell Killers- Various kettllebell circuits to jack up your conditioning
  and incinerate bodyfat.

• Bike Circuits- If you have to use a bike for conditioning this is the way
  to use it. Discover how to mix bike intervals with various other exercises
  for maximal results.
  
• Battling Ropes & Jump Ropes- Low impact circuits for awesome results.

• Barbell Complexes- The most effective barbell complexes that only require
  an empty bar and some space.

• Pyramids- One of my favorite conditioning methods and definitely not for
  the weak of heart.

• Deck of Cards- One of the most popular yet feared workouts at
  Renegade Gym.

• "On the Mix Now"- A collection of various circuits incorporating
  bodyweight, kettlebells, ropes, sleds, sledgehammers, sandbags, medicine
  balls and more.

• Plus 10 bonus hill sprint and strongman workouts

If you're a trainer or bootcamp instructor this is a must-have resource.

Two Workouts and Kickbutt Mindset Tips

Actions speak louder than words. It's time to hold yourself accountable. You can't rely on anyone else to change your life for you. Do you want this or not? Are you going to do this or what?

Here are two workouts to get you started:

FREE 30-minute fat burning workout
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/quick-fat-burning-workout/

More women need resistance training...here's a booty workout for the ladies
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/booty-workout-for-the-ladies/

Just remember..."Whatever your dreams are, start taking them very, very seriously." - Barbara Sher ... We all have less time than we think. Take action today.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
All bad times come to an end. Until then, we are left with a powerful choice. To quit or to carry on. If we quit, we only make the ending worse. If we carry on, we will feel the situation getting harder at first. However, everyday that you make progress, things will get better and the future will become brighter.

Don't let the negative media, or negative people keep you down. There are good, positive people out there who want to support you. Take action, live by example, attend events, and attract them into your life. Help others, and you will be helped yourself.

Just Act. Just Ask. Just Solve Problems for Others. Just Ask for Help for Yourself. Just Admit When You Are Wrong. Just Connect. Just Grow. Just Help. Just Push. Just do it and stop finding reasons to postpone it.

There's one "destructive" person you need in your life

Deadlift Workout and Carbohydrate Checklist

Good training today. Lots of heavy lifting, but the right attitude went with me.

“I will do this” is the only attitude that works. “I’ll try” or “I think” doesn’t work.” – Kekich Credo #57

Today's workout: Hang Clean, Deadlift, Military Press, and Good Mornings.

And don't miss today's Carb Checklist:

- http://www.ttfatloss.com/carbohydrate-checklist/

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
"The courage and confidence I have today was not achieved by mantras or mediation or self-imaging. It was all achieved by the persistent application of hard work and imitation. If you work hard and smart at anything long enough, you will know success. And with each small success, your mind and heart will grow incrementally braver and more confident." - Mark Ford

"Never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment." - Anthony Robbins...

....So take a look at what you want to accomplish and take at least a baby step towards it today. Keep on pushing. Never stop going after something that is important to you.

"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you." - William James

Never quit. If you stumble, get back up. And get social support to help you make it through the dip. Stay strong. There are many good people out there that want to help. Keep pushing, and never, ever, ever give up on something that is important to you.

Persevere through the dips with this mindset

Interesting day. A lot of writing and program design on a new project coming out before January. It's literally the biggest TT Project ever. Tons of follow-along workouts you can do at home with NO equipment. One more weekend of filming (next Saturday) and then it's time to edit everything. Good times.

Until then, here's a FREE 30-minute fat burning workout that BURNS OFF Thanksgiving Dinner
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/quick-fat-burning-workout/

Or if you want to try the Thanksgiving Monster...It's another great day to try the TT Post-Thanksgiving 1K Calorie Burner (60-minute monster). Would love to know what you think
- http://www.ttfatloss.com/1000-calorie-workout/

My work day was full of mental ups and downs. It's been a demanding project, and there are moments when I have self-doubt, but then I'm reminded of this classic Gary Halbert quote, "Motion beats meditation." So when you're struggling or feeling sorry for yourself, just DO SOMETHING. Take action. Move towards your goal, even if it is one baby step at a time.

Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tips:
“Persistence is a sure path to success with quality activities. Never, ever, ever, give up.” – Kekich Credo #75

"Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you." - William James

“Those who don’t personal responsibility and don’t take action will be in the same place 12 months from now. I know you’re different and I know you’re an action taker. You want a better life, and you deserve it, now go out and get it.” – Bedros Keuilian

“He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” – Epictetus

There is more opportunity out there than you and I could ever get through in our lifetime. You just have to open your eyes and realize that it is ALL around you.
