Do you ever do a warm-up routine and than go after your workout? What kind of warm-up do you do; stretches, yoga, jogging, lifting lighter weights, loosen the joints? I've noticed over the years that warming up isn't always the best choice depending on the circumstances. Do you ever see a Gazelle stretching before being chased by a lion or a cheetah? No and why is that; because if you're in a life or death situation, having a warm up could get you killed. Some people regardless of age are so energetic that warming up isn't a big thing and can function in training sessions without issues.
As we do get older, it is important to keep tabs on our muscles and joints but warming up in a general sense won't always help maintain muscular and joint health. I believe in finding ways to get the blood flowing within a few minutes to get the juices going but if you're taking more than 20 minutes to warm up for an hour long session in addition, that could ruin your progress because there is way too much time being used when you don't need that much time. However, if you're very tense and have had previous injuries than maybe a few stretches won't hurt you but it is important to do exercises that release tension, open up channels in the body and giving the body a bit of a kick before doing something strenuous.
I have knocked hard on Warming Up in the past but now i'm closer to 35 and already have tension in my lower back, effects of scar tissue from my accident at 20 and an off and on bad right knee so I do have to think more of the health and shape my body is in. If i'm doing something like BJJ, I do some exercises before sparring like dynamic flexibility training, Animal Flow, stretches from Combat Conditioning or other animal movements to loosen up the areas I need to stay in a sparring match. Most of the time I rarely ever warm up and itch my way to going full boar. With the Animal Dice Game, I don't completely go full speed, I let my body get acclimated to the exercises and within a couple minutes I'm good to go.
The bad thing about warming up in my opinion and from personal experience is that if you do exercises that tire you quickly, you're not going to have a full and bad ass workout. Another is that if you warm up too long and with the wrong kind of stretches for your structure, you can injure yourself even quicker before your training really starts. There are awesome stretches to do and doing something like Animal Flow for even 5 minutes is a lot of fun and gets that motivational energy flowing. I sometimes like to start off the day with Isometrics or exercises based on CoreForce Energy. I'm very intuitive in what I do and I normally don't always go by being told to do this or that.
I truly believe in flowing with your body and if it's out of balance and you're so damn stiff that moving is painful than you need to find out what you can do and maybe even get an adjustment. I know what it's like to be so stiff that every muscle aches and cracks each inch you move so I feel your pain but even if that happens, sometimes just sitting and slowly rolling the joints can work wonders and on some days where I don't feel like doing anything strenuous, I just do joint loosening or holding a few postures or hang from the pull-up bar to loosen my spine.
If you feel the need to warm up, make it interesting and fun; do deep breathing, loosen up the joints, hold postures and depending on your condition, just do a few minutes of what you can and get in on your training from there.

Hotel Workout Ideas & Tips
Traveling on the road shouldn't damper you from your training and it's important to not only keep an open mind, but willing to adjust to exercise you can be in control of. From our recent road to Lake Tahoe and back, I got in my head to do animal movements while in a hotel room. Now if you ever read my posts on facebook about the Frontier Motel in Winnemucca, NV than you you know we don't need to get into that but at the Regency, I did some Bear Crawls & Tiger Walks the morning we left for Tahoe.
In the next hotel we stayed at in Baker City, Oregon I did another workout of animals. Now, I should give you a fair warning that if you're above people, be careful how you jump and if they're screeches in the floor because you never know if somebody wants to come bang on your door and tell you to knock it off. Hotel Workouts can be a lifesaver for those who are dedicated to fitness and want to stay in shape. Granted nowadays, a hotel for the most part has a higher percentage of having a gym on the premises than say 30-40 years ago. It's not ideal to always lift weights in a hotel room so bodyweight exercises are the next option or doing Isometrics, Charles Atlas type training or using cables like from Lifeline Fitness.
A great idea for Hotel training is doing a circuit of up to 9 exercises and going for rounds or for time. They don't take up a lot of time and you stay fit while getting ready for the next trek on your road trip or before catching a cab to take you to the airport. After 21 plus years of doing all sorts of fitness training, I can say that no matter where I go, I can figure out exactly what workout to do. You don't need years of expertise to learn the value of training anywhere but it is important to know what can be useful and utilizing the best possible scenarios.
I've been in shitty hotels, beautiful looking and a few downright Fugly (Frontier, Sahara e.g) and managed to get some training in. Some had a gym I used but mainly kept it bodyweight based because if you just so happen to have weights around and something happens in the hotel room, you better know how to back it up otherwise you can wreck some stuff in that place if you're not careful.
The best alternative to weights hands down is Cables and/or the power wheel; if you have a door attachment, you can have an endless variety of exercises and doing some rollouts for the core is an awesome bonus. Want to spice it up and really get cooking; use a deck of cards and do some push-ups and squats. Nature Boy Ric Flair did card decks for exercise during his time in Mid-Atlantic when gyms weren't always available in the territory and worked up to 400 reps each of push-ups, squats and sit-ups.
There's no need to be lazy and not train just because you're on the road. It opens up the brain to become more creative and learn what you can use and the knowledge of figuring out the best ways to make exercise a product of your imagination. Be creative and find the best exercises for traveling and making it worthwhile anywhere you go.

Dynamic Stretching: Animal Style
Flexibility and Mobility are key components to having an overall structure of attributes contributing to the body's full capabilities. You can have the best looking muscles but if you can't really move, what good is it for you? Stretching is a powerful ingredient but how can you get the most out of it if you keep hearing what's good, what's bad and what's worst? Coming from leg injuries, I value what gaining flexibility has done and stretching with the intent of not over lengthening a muscle but keeping mobile, loose and opened up.
Getting back to doing the Animal Flow program has only been a short time but already feeling better with my body and stretching out my spine has become more of a priority. I do love static style stretching but that's usually before bed or after a workout; with utilizing transitions, combos and stretching the body as I move puts me into another state. It's almost like meditation; I can't sit or stand still to mediate, it's very difficult but moving makes it more fun and a greater learning experience.
Warming up can be done in a variety of ways but the very best gives you the greatest benefit and I'm learning more and more as I get older even though i'm 34, having a warm up doesn't have to suck or be dreaded. The spine and legs are our greatest asset and by the time we hit 40 and beyond, it's a couple of the first things to go if we don't maintain it. Animal Flow is a powerful element of bodyweight training that combines various disciplines but mainly yoga and gymnastics in a different context.
The experience itself can be intimidating but never fret, there's a series of progressions that takes you step by step to teach you how to control the movements and how to hold specific positions that will build your strength from the ground up. Warm up by having fun and learning how to make your body more flexible using great methods that can be used in a variety of ways.
Why bother with boring exercises when you can have the time of your life and find your creative side. Animal Flow is beyond building flexibility, it adds an element that brings you great joy and you get to play like you were a kid again. Let the child in you out and harness your imagination while getting fit.

Moving Like A Wild Animal Is A Gift From Nature
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"- Charles Caleb Colton
As children, we imitate what we see and mimic actions, body language and form traces of the personalities we imitate. Sometimes what we mimic won't always be a good thing because it can lead down a road where we may not know better but we also don't understand the concepts of right and wrong. It is important to set a prime example and if it is good and we construct morals and the teachings of how to treat other human beings, that quote would make the ultimate for others in their lives.
Animals are amazing teachers and mimicking their movements sets a form of natural wonders for us humans. Movement is life and we don't always move through the natural order of things. We are taught this and that, being shoved certain things down our throat as if it was life or death and sometimes what we are taught doesn't always benefit the treatment of another human being.
Moving like an animal is not just physically getting into position and crawling, hopping, jumping and coordinating but what it really does is imitate the concept of freedom; the freedom to express the body and hone skills that not only strengthen the body but also the brain as well. Moving like an animal is a gift from nature itself. The idea of expressing yourself through the spirit and teachings of the animal kingdom brings another level of discovering ourselves in the form of natural movement.
Although we don't want to be as violent or territorial as wild animals, it is important to realize that growth comes from getting ideas on how to apply what is being taught. Animal Movement provides the ideals of challenging the body in a manner of learning how the muscles work, how the brain subjects the nerves and impulses to form the movement and using the imagination to get the very best out of applying our strengths and motor skills that we may need in other areas of our lives. It is a gift that we can't ignore and a great aspect of teaching anyone from young to old how to get the most out of the body on all three planes of our structure: Physical, Mental & Emotional.
Work within your ability and progress with the best of intentions because as you get better, you become greater equipped with knowledge and wisdom. Imitate what is pure and beautiful.

Tips On Recovery
There's going to be days where the body needs to rest and heal. I'm not saying rest completely but do some form of exercise that is softer, less strenuous and lower intensity. One of the things I love to do for a recovery day is doing deep breathing exercises or focus more on keeping the joints and ligaments loose and generate blood flow to the structure of the muscles.
There's a fine line between being sore and being in pain, a lot of trainees have experienced both but some cannot tell the difference. Being sore in a nutshell is not being able to move as you normally would after a day of training and it feels like a weight is being held on you and it feels like you're carrying more on your shoulders. Being in pain means it's sharper and certain areas of the body hurt like hell and pain is pushing the body passed its threshold. I've been through both and as much as I can take it, i'm one of those people that just can't tolerate it. Some people take pain differently and if they have a sadistic way of handling it, good for them.
Recovery is that other side of the coin where the body can still do amazing things but at a lower level and help the body heal. Qi Gong is a phenomenal tool for recovery because some styles are low impact and have a way of decreasing the load on the body and strengthen the internal organs. Yoga is another great recovery tool, I do DDP Yoga from time to time because again, it is low impact but can get a lot done and stretching the muscles along with strengthening the joints.
A personal favorite is obviously animal movements because you can vary the intensity, speed and coordination of the movements to where by slowing down and concentrating on the movement or than the muscles themselves, it can be a powerful entity of being able to recover. Animal Moves stretch the muscles and if you practice a certain sequence or combo, it can be a lot of fun. Dynamic Stretching is amazing too because as you move and lengthen the body, it opens up the meridians of the body and opens up channels that can decrease tension in the muscles plus with the addition of deep breathing and focusing on the muscles, you're giving the body a chance to heal quicker for your next training session.
There's no such thing as a day off when it comes to training. You do something everyday whether it's a hardcore day or a taking it easy day. Your body will come back and fully charged when you use the right tools and exercises for you. Forcing recovery can hold you back because if you don't listen to your body, it'll bite you in the ass and you'll pay the price. However, I would take over recovery over overtraining any day but there's a balance and the body is a well-oiled machine that does need maintenance and as we age, it becomes more critical. Nobody has the same training style at age 60 as opposed to their 20's; things change and the body needs greater upkeep but it shouldn't stop you from having a healthy and long life full of wonders and happiness both physically and mentally.
Older folks need greater recovery but can still do awesome things in their training if they put their mind to it. Many just let themselves go and just let age take a hold on them and just wither away. Yes, you can't do the same things as you were younger but that doesn't mean you should stop being fit into your golden years. Research what you can use to recover and make the most out of your training you body can handle. Everybody is different but it can still do amazing things.

“I absolutely love the flavor of the 5 flavor fruit! This is one that we run out of all too soon. I would honestly love to see a larger sized bag available, maybe even a special in a Miron jar! Definitely cleared the brain fog and aided in more focus, like that of Rhodiola, with faster response time,… maybe it’s just me, but I love a tonic herb that helps keep the neurons firing quickly with many other benefits aside from that great perk. Didn’t have it long enough for a 100-day trial, but wish I did and miss it so. Great quality too. That basically goes without saying, when discussing Lost Empire Herbs. Many thousand thank yous, Christopher brothers!”

Staying Fit With Animal Movements For Life
As we get older, our bodies tend to become a little bit less each year than when we were young. We recover differently, shift methods in order to maintain because working out in your 20's as oppose to your 30's, 40's and beyond aren't going to be the same and why would it? It is important to maintain health and keeping our bones strong in the long haul. Very few look like a million bucks at the age of 40 and beyond and even more have to take some form of therapy in order to keep hormones balanced. This is where I love how Animal Movements can keep the body in check.
Animal moves have you constantly shifting and learning how to coordinate your body's ability to stay strong, flexible and agile in awkward positions. You don't have to be a speed demon to maintain shape or build crazy muscle but it is critical to utilize your muscles, ligaments and bones regardless of age. Moving at a pace that works well for you and taking as much time as needed to recover and keep going. This way, it brings out a greater sense of development and being able to move with consistency and muscular strength.
In other countries like in Asia, India and parts of Africa, movement is essential for redefining age and long term health. Animal moves focus on strengthening the structure and keeping blood flowing throughout the cells and spinal cord. One of the first things to go as we age is our legs and it's very true. Our legs carry us and have the strongest form of the skeletal system. Squatting has a very important role so utilizing the squat along with movement such as in duck walks, chimp walks and others; In Japan, a version of the duck walk helps keep knee joints healthy and contain powerful muscular conditioning for long term results in the legs.
Another reason to move like an animal is the way it consistently creates brain power through movement and thinking into the movement. Dementia, Alzheimer's and other brain deformations have become more common than we want to believe and it is important to keep our brains strong well into our golden years. Many people do brain games such as sudoku, crossword puzzles and other games to keep their brains sharp but sometimes it isn't enough. If you're still able to move, you can do so with exercise. Yeah sure at 60 you're not going to do 500 push-ups or jump really far but you can do little forms of crawling, balancing and walking to keep the mind and body sharp as a tack.
You don't have to even do big movements, small steps and holding basic positions will work your body amazingly. Think about it, just doing 100 steps of a bear crawl or holding a squat a few minutes a day can do wonders for your body and you can adjust them for your structure. A very fun exercise to do to help get the blood flowing is what's called the Octopus in Animal Kingdom Conditioning; this exercise doesn't have you doing very much but when done correctly, it warms up and conditions the muscles and joints in the legs, shoulders, hips and chest because it can get you breathing pretty quick. If you're not up to par on the full extent of the movement, make adjustments and still get great benefit out of it. Just 1 minute of this exercise can do wonders at any age and if you do opposite arm and opposite leg movements, you're strengthening the brain and generating power in the stems.
Don't ever settle and let your body deteriorate because you're just getting older, you deserve to live with great strength and health until death comes to take you. Work your body accordingly and have fun because being in a wheelchair and letting the body rot is no way to live. Be fit at any age and keep your joints and your brain healthy.

Compassion Isn't A Weakness
I know what it is liked to be bullied, ridiculed, humiliated and beaten down physically and emotionally. Nothing comes close to feeling weak as a person. To this day, I have days where I have self doubt and feeling like what I do isn't good enough; but then I'm reminded of who I'am as a person and what I do matters. I have developed a sense of compassion for people and showing what is important to be a human being.
Compassion is never a sign of weakness but there are people out there that want to take advantage of that and use you for your compassion to extend their own agendas. It's happened to me a time or two so never feel like you're the only one. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop having a heart for someone. Not everyone is in a war where violence is the answer. A lot of people these days do get offended by words which makes even my generation not the easiest to deal with but at the same time, words have gotten people killed for eons, its not just in 2018.
Compassion is a sign that you have a good heart and it makes you a stronger person if you have dealt with physical, emotional or mental trauma; hell even maybe all three. Some people just want to watch the world burn and feel like they're the king or queen and actually believing compassion is a sign of weakness.
In my training, it's not just for getting fit, its more on the development of becoming the strongest version of myself. Learning how to apply movement using my brain and body as a tool. My brain can only go so far because of the truma happened to me as a baby but it doesn't stop me from finding my passions and sharing it with the world. Everybody has a strength and weakness, it's the yin and yang of our DNA and as we grow not just in physical form but mentally as well, we learn what's right and what's wrong. The trouble is, many grow up never understanding the true meaning of what it's like to be a human being an realize that not everyone is against YOU and seeing the world and it's people as weaklings.
Emotional weakness is mainly used by people that don't truly understand a person's story. There's a fine line between pitying them and seeing them as emotionally weak. You grow up learning that many people are weak because they can't hold a job or aren't strong enough for their family. I have been down that road where jobs weren't easy to come by and just applying anywhere doesn't always mean you're going to get it and even if you did get it, how are you physically and mentally connected to that job? I found a job that not only pays good but I'm very passionate about it, I put my heart and soul into it. I get to share with the world my passion, my struggles, my triumphs and what gives me purpose about fitness, supplements, seminars and giving people the opportunity to find fun and exciting ways to exercise whether it's for sports, lifestyle, conditioning, overall strength or whatever they decide to get into.
Showing compassion means you have a reason to care for another human being. You feel for a person and giving yourself emotionally to be there for a person. Not everyone is going to show you the same courtesy which for them is ok. They have a different life and they have their own way of showing something but it's not always going to be pretty. Also just because I show compassion doesn't always mean i'm going to be a nice guy. Everyone has their limits to be kind and sympathetic. I do care about people but I understand what's right and what's wrong and have stepped up for people and defended them, not always physically but if you piss me off, you're going to see why you shouldn't.
Some people are just flat out cold, manipulative and full of hate that they put out these harsh rants about others and just don't care whether they're getting backlashes or not and in their own world, that's just fine with them. There are many out there that just don't give a shit and just piss on human beings that are considered emotionally weak and won't amount to anything. Granted there are people in this world that could use a tune up but at the same time, it doesn't matter how old you are, finding yourself is the biggest journey every human being has. Some have found themselves whether it's good, bad or ugly; others have pressed the reset button and rediscovering who they are but there are others that haven't found themselves yet and never made the opportunity to reach it. Our full potential is never complete without discovering our true selves.
This world is a harsh world in a lot of areas, very dark, gritty and full of loathing and hatred that sometimes showing compassion isn't enough, but it is start to send a message to the world that being harsh isn't the answer and learning to be good to one another. What I want to send to you today is that the world is a mighty big place but for others, its very small and the people within them have the potential to be a kind, warm hearted person that has a heart and soul for one another.
Compassion is never a sign of weakness but there are people out there that want to take advantage of that and use you for your compassion to extend their own agendas. It's happened to me a time or two so never feel like you're the only one. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop having a heart for someone. Not everyone is in a war where violence is the answer. A lot of people these days do get offended by words which makes even my generation not the easiest to deal with but at the same time, words have gotten people killed for eons, its not just in 2018.
Compassion is a sign that you have a good heart and it makes you a stronger person if you have dealt with physical, emotional or mental trauma; hell even maybe all three. Some people just want to watch the world burn and feel like they're the king or queen and actually believing compassion is a sign of weakness.
In my training, it's not just for getting fit, its more on the development of becoming the strongest version of myself. Learning how to apply movement using my brain and body as a tool. My brain can only go so far because of the truma happened to me as a baby but it doesn't stop me from finding my passions and sharing it with the world. Everybody has a strength and weakness, it's the yin and yang of our DNA and as we grow not just in physical form but mentally as well, we learn what's right and what's wrong. The trouble is, many grow up never understanding the true meaning of what it's like to be a human being an realize that not everyone is against YOU and seeing the world and it's people as weaklings.
Emotional weakness is mainly used by people that don't truly understand a person's story. There's a fine line between pitying them and seeing them as emotionally weak. You grow up learning that many people are weak because they can't hold a job or aren't strong enough for their family.

The Struggles Of Stationary Movements
Ever since I've become an Animal Movement fanatic, I have struggled with regular stationary bodyweight and implement used exercises. Before I had no problem doing Hindu Push-ups, Hindu Squats, Mountain Climbers, Burpees and sprinting in place but for some reason especially recently; very few exercises actually keep me interested from a stationary standpoint because they're fun to do and I get a lot of joy out of it. Most of the time now, whenever I do certain exercises, I lose interest fast and at times I don't know why. My body responded well before but now it feels like whenever I do them, it feels like I'm in jail and I have too little space.
Don't get me wrong, bodyweight exercises, weights, sandbells, cables and the Slamball are all phenomenal in their own right and are essential to fitness in some form or another but if you have space and you can use it beyond just going up and down or side to side in one spot, why not use it? We all know the cliche' of "Anytime, Anywhere" and it is true but at the same time if you're just in one spot, why aren't you using the space that's really around you?
Very often now whenever I hear the word stationary, I think of being locked in a cell and have nowhere to go. To me it sounds negative and overwhelming sometimes. Yeah you can do many exercises wherever you go but if you stick to exercises in just one spot of space what is really going on there? Maybe because I'm getting older and understanding things more and seeing things from a different perspective but I'am telling you flat out, I feel a lot more free doing things that get me moving around more than 2ft x 2ft form of space. You have to understand, movement is movement regardless but also where is the true freedom in the space you can truly use?
I use to love doing Hindu Squats and Hindu Push-ups on a whim and loved doing different types of burpees or various weights but it just seems like I get more out of using the real amount of space that has unlimited potential. It got me thinking from a wrestling perspective. When I had my two sessions in BJJ, somewhere where I was fighting and getting the best position although I wasn't anywhere near the positions I truly wanted to be in, you don't wrestle in just a single spot. You wrestle standing, on the ground, you move around in space and time to find the best position for an offensive move or defending yourself. The mat is like a planet, there are so many places you can go. Think about that for a second. Do you have a clue what it's like to wrestle and fight somebody in a small confined space? I sure as hell don't. If that happens, it doesn't matter how good you are or how much of an ass kicking you get, if you're so limited, where's the real potential to have some form of an edge?
This is one of the things I truly love and understand about Animal Movements; it's learning how to utilize the space you can truly own and operate without being limited to a single spot. When an animal fights, it uses every resource it has and is aware of to bring the fight to their advantage; wrestling and exercise in general ought to have a similar philosophy, to use every resource of space possible to get the most out of your mind and body. If you have a group of people in a short space and need to train the best way possible that's one thing, it's another to truly be open to the possibility of getting every ounce of space you can use and progress your body's condition to the next level. If the weather is good enough for me, I'll go out and use up every single inch of space I can muster, but if it's too damn hot or too cold, than I stay in but use every inch of space I know of. I have done animal moves in the bedroom, a hotel room, my office and the garage; have thrown implements and walked with them in the space I can use. Being in spot for me now sucks big time and I don't want to waste energy being so limited yet find a way to use every inch of where I'm at.
If you have an idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to being conflicted to one spot, watch the movie Bronson with Tom Hardy, there is a scene where he is locked up to a cell where the length of the cage/cell is only large enough to where standing is almost the only option and if you had to sit, you'd have to be pretty damn flexible. That's what I feel like at times when I do certain exercises, there is a lot more behind me but because I'm in one little spot, it feels no bigger than the room i'm in. In a nutshell, claustrophobic is the word i'm looking for.
Don't limit yourself, use every spare of space around you to get the very maximum of your potential.

My Thoughts On Johnny Grube And The Wildman Training Philosophy (Uncensored)
From time to time, I dabble in promoting various products and reviewing books and courses. So today I'm going to talk about a style of training that has good points and bad points plus a little on the author of this philosophy. First off, I just want to say what I'm going to go into will be something many may hate on and I will hear about it sooner or later, good or bad but I feel the need to let people know on this.
Johnny Grube.....A blue collar, no nonsense and no bullshit type of roughneck that has a lot to talk about on fitness but promoting mainly himself and ranting about the world we live in today. A manual laborer and former pro wrestler (indies basically) who just seems to not talk about almost anything positive in his posts. He is a poster child for bodyweight training and the ideals behind it using basic movements, isometrics and semi-creative workouts that work within a degree.
The Wildman Training philosophy isn't catered to a general audience and doesn't seem to put in a positive image even to an audience he is catered to...Himself and rough-housed blue collar men. I do like the idea of how to use bodyweight training along with the minimal to no equipment needed to get in awesome shape, but that's the extent of my faith in this guy.
I have two of his books, the Wildman Training Program and his Playground Training Manual. They're both fantastic books in the sense where it teaches the bare basic principles of bodyweight fitness and using what's available. Beyond that is more than worth reading. As far as fitness goes, he's got some great points but personality wise, I find him to be a major asshole and one hardcore fucked up individual.
This style brings valuable info on why manual labor is a hard and brutal form of training even by the standards of a job. I've done my share of manual labor and yeah it is tough and it's not meant for individuals who aren't willing to put in the work. His rants however are not only off the wall but come off as negative, stressful and full of bullshit that destroys the image of today. There are very few things I agree with but wouldn't put it anywhere near the context he throws it in. He sees the men of today (from a general sense) as weak and full of vanity. Now don't get me wrong, there a lot of guys out there even in my generation that could catch up on a few things but to break them down and destroy any form of humanity, that's messed up and need some serious therapy.
I don't know what kind of life he was brought up on, how he treats his wife or his kids but what you will read about in his posts tend to come up Homophobic, Racist, brutality towards kids and just flats out manhandles the fitness industry as if its some demonic form of evil. I was friends with him once on social media and at one time was able to handle his little tantrums and comments towards certain people but I put out a post one day about a story of a grandfather who accepted his grandson for being gay (before and after this boy's mother completely cut him out of her life because of her beliefs) and Johnny just proceeds to tarnish, belittle and ridicule this story. On top of that, one of my family members stepped up and put his two cents in and John just attacked him and acted like a fucking 5 year old and just goes off on who is my uncle. This opened my eyes to what kind of person he was and continues to act like.
As far as i'm concerned, fitness wise, he has done a lot and can make a solid case as to how it works and what exercises can be used in a quick fashion along with awesome levels of conditioning and stamina but after that, he's nothing more than a self-centered, conniving, redneck and sincere form of asshole that I ever heard of. Unlike him, I care about my fellow human being and anyone who attacks others without knowing the full story is one fucked up dickhead who probably hasn't been laid since his last kid was born. As a person, he's a negative piece of shit that needs to grow the fuck up and have a little more compassion in his life. I don't normally put that out there about people but when you have seen so much hatred in a person's words, it makes you wonder how the fuck can anyone want to be around that even by 10 damn feet.
I do care about where the fitness industry has gone and some of it I don't like but that's not for me to judge or destroy a person's way of doing things. I say what I feel but at the same time, nobody should have to live with that kind of negativity. Maybe he's the loki of the fitness world, a person of mischief and cause of chaos and despair that lives vicariously out of hurting others and is full of himself.
The only thing I have in common with this Stick-Up-His-Ass, unworldly person that calls himself a human being is passion for fitness. Yes, his style is off the wall and has some value as to what being in shape can really do but on the other side of the coin, he needs to grow a heart and let go of the bullshit the world is in and look for what is awesome, breathtaking and full of hope, love and wonders that make us great people in a lot of ways. I don't even think the guy bleeds red, probably more like a dark and very brown color that needs to be checked by a doctor.

Carlos DIGS Black Maca! | You’ll DIG This SALE!
Here’s a review that came in from Carlos:
“Love it. Already finished my first bag. Not quite sure to attribute it to the maca, but I have noticed more muscle definition with no change in my day to day routine. Definitely more energy and it does help to recover faster (I can personally feel it after I eat it. Tingly sensation in the muscles).
One thing for sure is it is definitely a sexual stimulant. Ever since I started taking it my sensitivity, and blood flow down there have increased a lot! I would consider myself a very calm person when it comes to sexual responses, yet this thing was like it hit an ON switch down there! Not taking it for that, rather for nutrition, but it definitely works!
One spoon in my morning oatmeal and I’m good to go! Love the product. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more nutrition in their diet. Everything else is a major plus! Thank you for carrying it.”
There you have it.
Proof that our customers LOVE Maca and are getting RESULTS!

Explosive Conditioning: Star Wars Style
It is always fun to use a theme to amp up workouts. It gives that extra motivation and another idea to get more in tuned with training. Some themes are a little off the wall than others and some workouts are flat out nuts but if you took the simple exercises and molded them into a workout using a theme and little to no equipment, you can make it fun and challenging plus coming back for more.
This past week I got the Death Star Slam Ball from Onnit. On that site they have a lot of cool stuff to use for training from bad ass looking kettlebells, colored Battling Ropes and even barbell plates based on the Superhero Captain America. Their Kettlebell line has made another set of best sellers in the form of Star Wars. As you may have noticed in some of my posts and on social media that i'm a geek for Star Wars; not to the degree of battling over which Franchise is better Star Wars or Star Trek but a geek to where I have collected all the films, many books, a shrine in the living room mainly of Yoda and posters. I told myself, one day I will get a product from the Star Wars line and I made it happen.
I have used slam balls and medicine balls in the past which are very effective and can give you a hell of a workout. The Death Star Slam Ball is very unique in the sense tat it isn't the typical ball you would see in the gym; this bad ass motha doesn't just have a cool shape but can take a beating and last longer than the average ball. Weighing 20 pounds, it may not seem like much but once you get your hands on it and start training, a whole new world opens up. To me this is a great way to not only geek out but get in some awesome training as well. Slam Ball training has been around a while now and due to the popularity of Crossfit, it's become a staple in many athletes' arsenal. There are many exercises you can do with this thing and will get your body going one way or another.
The first few workouts with it I keep it simple and only go as far as I need to and not force anything. It's great for a full workout, a warm up or a finisher and you will have your lungs firing, your legs quivering and your core will get pummeled (in a good way). Just the typical pickup and slamming it down hard alone will get you cooked in no time. Most workouts don't last more than 20 minutes and depending on your fitness level, you can make the workout easy or as hard as you want.
One of the things I really like is that if I have excess energy or need to get some frustration out (not all of us live like a happy go lucky harry), I'll just take that sucker and thrust it down as many times as possible until i'm just completely done and calmed down. Now I'm not saying you should ever train angry or ready to go on a murdering spree but it is an alternative to have a more positive outlook to channel aggression. It is very effective and it can keep you in line. We all have those days where you just need to take out some aggression and use a way to calm down so why not get in shape to channel that.
Although not every Star Wars fan works out, it can be encouraging to get fit and get more out of life than just being a fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm a nerd at heart and I go to conventions, buy comics, pay to get a picture taken with a celeb or cosplayer, be trivial around people and have fun debates with people from time to time but I also love to be strong, conditioned and full of energy and vigor. It has become an epidemic that fitness isn't a part of many people's lives and more and more we as a society tend to let ourselves go. What would it feel like to you to not only geek out and have fun but have great physical strength, stamina and agility at the same time? Can you imagine feeling like you had the strength of vader, the stamina of Darth Maul, the speed of a jedi? I would put up a lot to have that kind of power, to never tire and move with great agility but power behind it too.
The Death Star Slam ball may not destroy planets, but it can destroy unwanted fat and put on great muscle and definition while giving you the ability to tear into athletic endeavors like a boss. Think about it for a moment; having physical attributes that will make people be in awe of, a competitor fear you because you can last far longer than expected, the ability to tap into your strength reserves in ways that many wouldn't know how to react to and think what it would be like to have hormones that would make a teenager look weak and burn fat during and after a workout. The amount of fat you can lose, the weight just flying off and having muscle that not only looks awesome but has show to go with it too.
Get it today....May The Force Be With You.

Desire Thyroid Telomeres And More
In recent days mush research has been conducted on Ashwagandha.
The benefits of ashwagandha can help lower stress, reduce cortisol, improve sleep, provide neuroprotection, support the thyroid and much more.
GREAT FOR MEN AND WOMEN!
Let’s get specific on this one.
How about for women?
While Ashwagandha has a reputation as a men's herb...it is at least equally useful for women, possibly even more so.
While the sex hormones haven't been studied, sexual health has. And Ashwagandha improved every function they looked at. Desire, arousal, lubrication, satisfaction and more.
Not bad...
Plus, there is a new hypothyroid study published just a few months ago that showed Ashwagandha was helpful in those cases.
As thyroid issues are more common in women...and very few herbs really help...this is great news!
What else? A cell line study showing Ashwagandha improves telomerase activity! For those that aren’t familiar telomeres are the end-caps of DNA and are one of the leading theories on what causes aging and death. Improving this activity means it would solidly be an anti-aging substance.
Three solid studies showing effects on anxiety, because of how it interacts with GABA receptors.
I have to tell you I already loved our spagyric Ashwagandha Tincture.
AFTER READING ALL THIS RESEARCH YOU HAVE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF.
Head on over to this page where you can read more details about these studies, plus much more. As always, you can also find the links to our references so you can check them out for yourself.
Right now, to celebrate you can get this amazing herb for $5 OFF per bottle.
HURRY, ORDER YOURS TODAY because this special won't last long!
