The Spitfire, Her Progress And Athena

 Training is never easy, especially if you have a full time job and you do what you can to make the most of it, sometimes being consistent can be a challenge and there are days where it's not in you. However; when you're able to and get things going, it makes a huge difference in how you feel and what you want to continue to do. That's what it's like for my wife Holly.

She's one of the hardest workers I know and does what she can even though she can be very persistent when she sets her mind to something. It's one of the things I love about her and how proud I am of her. In some time, she has lost around 60 lbs and has kept it off despite obstacles that come her way, she still fights with the heart of a lioness. I have taught her how to utilize a consistent training style that suits her and makes her want to continue her journey. She usually works a 3 day split of Upper Body one day, Core the next & Leg Work.

About half to 60% of her training is cardio, building her endurance using the treadmill, the eliptical and will go on runs for about an hour at times. Her core work consists of planks, twists, V-Ups and Diagonal Chops with a slam ball. Upper Body is mainly flys, curls, lateral raises (she calls them She Hulks), punching & Pull-Downs/Chin-Downs. Legs is usually running but she'll do some squatting, lunges and other things. Her rep range is around 10 reps at 5 sets per exercise and she'll hold a plank for as long as 2 minutes. Getting a blend of strength and cardio work.

She has stayed with that for quite some time and has worked for her. I give her tweaks every now and then on her form so she can feel the muscles more. She busts her ass to the point where she'll wake up sore and ask me to send in her clone to work LOL. 

She has also been taking the Athena Formula for about a month or so and the changes in her energy levels seem like they were shot out of a cannon. She isn't as tired, doesn't drink as much caffeine as she normally does which at times consists of coffee, Spark and sometimes a red bull. Her intake is almost cut in half by taking 3 capsules a day before heading out to the other side of Spokane for the day.

Her training and her jacked up energy lately has been amazing and I'm incredibly proud of the progress she has made. It took her a LONG time to lose the weight and she still has a ways to go but I believe in her and what she is capable of. Strong, fierce, kind, compassionate and can be a bit of a hard ass but that's part of who she is and wouldn't change it. Athena has been her go to supplement and even after a few weeks, it shows some drastic improvements in her mood, her energy, her focus and has kept her strength in tact with great stride.  

You have that power too ladies and you got what it takes to make improvements for your own health. Small aspects of progress always lead to the bigger picture, you may be different in life but there's always room to become a bad ass and do what works best for you. Get a hold of Athena Formula and see where you progress and train with a vengeance, go for the Subscriber Program so you can get them sent to you every month. You got this. Be amazingly awesome. 

Ladies...Do You Want To Unleash Your Inner Goddess? Learn About Athena Formula

Happy Independence Day Everyone!!! 

How are the bad ass women out there doing? It’s time to tap into the primal power coursing through your veins and awaken the goddess within. Today, let's learn about Athena Formula from Lost Empire Herbs, a blend so potent it feels like it was forged in the fires of Olympus itself. This isn’t just a supplement—it’s for every woman that is ready to conquer hormonal chaos, reclaim energy, and radiate unapologetic strength. Sit back and enjoy the ride, because we’re about to embark on an epic journey through the seven herbal titans that make Athena a powerful weapon in your wellness arsenal. Let’s do this with the ferocity of a thousand Spartan queens!

Why Athena?

In a world that pushes you to juggle a plethora of roles—mother, hustler, dreamer, warrior—your body deserves a shieldmaiden to stand by your side. Enter Athena Woman’s Formula, a masterfully crafted blend of seven ancient herbs designed to harmonize your hormones, ignite your energy, and make you feel like the unstoppable force you were born to be. Whether you’re battling the storms of PMS, navigating the wild seas of menopause, or just craving that next-level vitality, Athena is your mighty hammer, smashing through fatigue, mood swings, and hormonal imbalances with unrelenting precision.

Lost Empire Herbs didn’t just throw some plants in a bottle and call it a day. Hell no, they channeled the wisdom of ancient healers from Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, blending it with modern science to create a formula that’s as fierce as it is effective. This is about empowering you to feel like the goddess Athena herself—wise, radiant, and ready to dominate any challenge. Let’s meet the seven herbal gladiators that make this formula legendary shall we...

Each herb in Athena is a heavyweight champion, hand-picked for its ability to support women’s health at every stage. Together, they form a symphony of strength, balance, and vitality. Let’s break it down:

1. Dong Quai: The Blood Queen  

   Known as “female ginseng” in Chinese Medicine, Dong Quai is the cornerstone of Athena’s hormonal harmony. This isn’t just about blood—it’s about life itself. Dong Quai nourishes your qi (vital energy), supports your immune system, and keeps your nervous system chill under pressure. It’s like having a royal advisor ensuring your body’s systems are running like a well-oiled war machine.

2. Shatavari: The Ayurvedic Empress 

   In Ayurveda, Shatavari is the #1 herb for women, and for good reason. Packed with phytoestrogens, it’s your go-to for balancing hormones through every phase of life—PMS, menopause, you name it. Shatavari is like the wise elder who guides you through the battlefield of hormonal shifts, keeping you graceful, grounded, and glowing with a vengeance.

3. Pine Pollen: The Superfood Warlord 

   Don’t let the name fool you—Pine Pollen isn’t just for us men. This 21st-century superfood is loaded with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, plus it supports DHEA and modulates excess estrogen. It’s the spark that lights up your libido, boosts your energy, and keeps your hormones in check. Think of it as the wild, untamed energy of the forest fueling your inner fire.

4. Schisandra: The Five-Flavor Fury

   This beauty tonic from Chinese Medicine is a multi-tool of epic proportions. Schisandra hits all twelve meridians, supports liver detox, and balances your hormones while making your skin, hair, and nails radiate goddess vibes. It’s the five-flavor fruit that delivers sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and pungent punches to keep you thriving.

5. Goji Berry: Happiness Galore

   Goji berries aren’t just a trendy smoothie topping—they’re a nutritional powerhouse. Rich in carotenoids and polysaccharides, they support anti-aging, immune health, blood sugar balance, and metabolic function. Goji is the cheerful comrade who lifts your spirits and keeps your body humming with vitality.

6. Longan Berry: The Shen Soother  

   Known as “Dragon Eyes” in Chinese Medicine, Longan is a Shen tonic that calms the mind, boosts mood, and supports digestion and skin health. It’s like a warm hug of the heavens, helping you stay centered and radiant even when life throws those insane curveballs.

7. Sea Buckthorn: The Himalayan Holy Fire 

   This miracle berry from the Mongolian plains is a nutritional juggernaut, packing omega 3, 6, 7, and 9, plus a hefty dose of vitamin C and trace minerals. It’s the ultimate ally for radiant skin, robust power and a level of strength that a goddess deserves. Sea Buckthorn is your shield, protecting your body with its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, ensuring you glow from the inside out. It's the fuel your vitality needs and keeps you battle-ready.

These seven herbs don’t just work in isolation—they’re a united front, synergizing like a council of goddesses to balance your estrogens and androgens, harmonize your Jing, Qi, and Shen (the three treasures of Chinese Medicine), and deliver a taste that’s as bold as your spirit. While the powder form has a tangy, berry-infused flavor that some might find strong, Lost Empire Herbs has you covered with capsules for those who want the power without taking the tasted hit.

Why Athena is A Battle Standard

Listen up—this isn’t just about feeling “okay.” Athena is about thriving, dominating, and owning your vitality. Hormonal imbalances? They’re no match for this formula’s adaptogenic might. Stress? Athena’s got your back, helping your body adapt and conquer like a seasoned warrior. From boosting energy to stabilizing mood, enhancing libido, and even supporting radiant skin, hair, and nails, this blend is your all-in-one tonic for living like the goddess you were meant to be.

Users report feeling the shift—more energy, fewer PMS or menopause symptoms, and a renewed sense of confidence. One post-menopausal warrior on Trustpilot called Athena a “game-changer,” crediting it with vitality and stress resilience since 2015. That’s not just a supplement; that’s a lifestyle revolution. Of course, results vary—your body’s unique, so pair Athena with a solid diet and movement to maximize its final form.

Forged in Quality, Backed by Honor

Lost Empire Herbs doesn’t mess around. Sourced from trusted suppliers, every herb in Athena is pure, potent, and lab-tested for identity, low heavy metals, and microbe-free quality. No GMOs, no preservatives, no artificial bullshit—just 100% natural, gluten-free, paleo, vegan, and keto-friendly power. Each bottle of capsules (90 count, 30-day supply) or 100g of powder is crafted in their Kansas City, MO facility, with a 365-day satisfaction guarantee that screams confidence.

Worried about allergies? Pine Pollen, one of Athena’s stars, might cause reactions in rare cases. Test it solo with a micro-dose or consult Lost Empire’s stellar customer service at 1-866-764-3727 or support@lostempireherbs.com. They’re as dedicated to your victory as you are.

How to Wield Athena’s Power

Ready to unleash your inner Athena? For the powder, mix 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon daily into water, smoothies, or your morning war cry (aka COFFEE for those who drink it). Capsules? Pop 3 a day for a 30-day supply of pure empowerment. The formula’s designed for most women to feel the benefits at this dose, but if you’re craving extra, you can supplement with individual herbs like Shatavari or Dong Quai for a personalized edge.

The Athena Code: Live Like a Goddess

Athena isn’t just a supplement—it’s a mindset. Named after the Greek goddess of wisdom, courage, and strategy, this formula embodies her essence. It’s for the mother crushing it at home, the entrepreneur slaying the boardroom, the athlete owning the gym, and every fucking woman in between. Athena supports your hormonal health, energy, mood, and beauty, so you can tackle life with wit over weapons, just like the goddess herself.

Living in a world that’s always demanding more, Athena reminds you to prioritize self-care. It’s not selfish—it’s strategic. A balanced body means a sharper mind, fiercer energy, and a presence that commands respect. Whether you’re in your 20s wrestling with PMS or in your 70s embracing post-menopause, Athena’s got your back, helping you transition through life’s phases with grace grit and power.

Join the Legion of Empowered Women

Don’t just exist—thrive with glorious purpose. Athena Woman’s Formula is your rallying cry to reclaim your vitality, balance you, and step into a new journey of strength. Lost Empire Herbs has armed you with a blend rooted in ancient wisdom and modern science, backed by thousands of warriors who’ve felt the difference (4-star TrustScore from 5,169+ reviews!).

Lost Empire Herbs’ Stag Swag and Pine Pollen: A Natural Powerhouse for Men’s Health

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining energy, vitality, and hormonal balance is more important than ever. For us guys that are seeking a natural way to support our health, Lost Empire Herbs offers two bad ass products that stand out: Stag Swag Tincture and Pine Pollen. These herbal formulations, rooted in traditional wisdom and backed by modern science, are designed to enhance strength, confidence, and overall well-being. Today, we’ll explore the benefits of these potent supplements and how they can help you reclaim that inner fire bursting with power.

What Are Stag Swag and Pine Pollen?

Stag Swag Tincture is a carefully crafted blend of androgen-boosting herbs, including:

Elk Antler: Known for its yang Jing energy, rich in growth factors, and traditionally used for hormonal support and anti-aging.

Pine Pollen: A superfood packed with phytoandrogens that help support testosterone, supporting vitality and hormone balance.

Cistanche: A desert herb revered for enhancing stamina, libido, and blood flow.

He Shou Wu: A tonic herb that nourishes the kidneys and supports hormonal health.

Wild Yam: Provides cooling and anti-inflammatory properties to balance out the formula.

Pearl Powder: A Shen herb that promotes calmness and counters the “hot” nature of yang herbs. In other words, it's like an internal cool and calming breeze.

Pine Pollen, available as a tincture, powder, or capsules, is a nutrient-dense superfood harvested from pine tree cones. It contains over 200 bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phytoandrogens (as mentioned earlier), making it a versatile supplement for both men and women.

The Benefits of Stag Swag Tincture

Stag Swag is formulated to deliver a balanced yet powerful boost to men’s health. Here are some of its insane benefits:

Supports Natural Testosterone Levels

The combination of Elk Antler, Pine Pollen, and Cistanche in Stag Swag is designed to promote healthy testosterone production. Testosterone is crucial for energy, muscle strength, libido, and confidence. Several users often report a “resurgence in energy” and a renewed sense of vitality after a few weeks of use.

Enhances Energy and Stamina

Whether you’re hitting the gym or tackling a busy day, Stag Swag can help. Its yang herbs, like Cistanche and Pine Pollen, are known for promoting blood flow and energy, making it a great pre- or post-workout supplement. Customers have noted an “energy rush” within 15 minutes of taking just 20 drops.

Boosts Libido and Confidence

Stag Swag’s name reflects its ability to give you the swagger of a buck in rutting season. The formula supports libido and sexual health, with users reporting improved arousal and stamina. As one customer put it, “My girlfriend was definitely pleased with my newfound arousal.”

Promotes Hormonal Balance

Unlike single-ingredient supplements, Stag Swag’s blend includes cooling herbs like Wild Yam and Pearl Powder to balance the potent yang energy of Elk Antler and Pine Pollen. This makes it a more harmonious formula, reducing the “hot” effects some experience with standalone Pine Pollen tinctures.

Aids Recovery and Anti-Aging

Elk Antler is rich in growth factors that may support joint health, recovery, and tissue repair. Combined with He Shou Wu’s kidney-nourishing properties and Pearl Powder’s anti-aging benefits, Stag Swag is a holistic formula for staying youthful and resilient. Get more out of it yet recover with a vengeance.

The Benefits of Pine Pollen

Pine Pollen is a nutritional powerhouse that complements Stag Swag’s targeted effects. Here’s why it’s a must-have for men (and women) seeking optimal health:

Natural Testosterone Support

Pine Pollen is one of nature’s rare sources of phytoandrogens, including trace amounts of testosterone and DHEA. These plant-based hormones mimic human androgens, helping to combat low testosterone levels. Users, especially men over 30, report improved energy, libido, and morning vitality (yes, “morning wood” is a common theme!). For women, it helps bring that balance of estrogen and testosterone so they too can reap the benefits of health for their system.

Boosts Energy and Vitality

With over 200 bioactive nutrients, Pine Pollen is a superfood that fuels your body and mind. Customers describe feeling “younger” and more energized, with one 57-year-old man noting a 95% reduction in hot flashes and normalized testosterone levels after consistent use.

Supports Hormonal Balance for Men and Women

While Pine Pollen is often made and marketed for the guys, it’s also beneficial for women, especially during menopause or hormonal imbalances. Its adaptogenic properties help regulate hormones, reducing symptoms like moodiness, fatigue, and low libido. A post-menopausal woman shared, “Pine Pollen has given me such vitality and the ability to manage extreme stress.”

Enhances Immune Health and Recovery

Pine Pollen’s rich nutrient profile, including amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals, supports immunity and recovery. Athletes and active individuals praise its ability to reduce fatigue and improve endurance. Be able to keep going with what you love.

Improves Cognitive Function

The phytoandrogens in Pine Pollen possibly can enhance mental clarity and focus, making it a favorite for those seeking a cognitive edge. Users report feeling more confident and mentally sharp.

Why Go With Lost Empire Herbs?

Lost Empire Herbs stands out for its commitment to quality and transparency. Here’s why you can trust their Stag Swag and Pine Pollen:

Third-Party Lab Testing: All products are rigorously tested for purity and potency, with results openly shared. No bullshit.

Sustainable Sourcing: Elk Antler in Stag Swag comes from humanely raised elk in Wisconsin, and Pine Pollen is wild-harvested with 99% cracked cell walls for maximum absorption.

Customer Satisfaction: With a 4-star TrustScore and 5,000+ reviews, customers rave about the effectiveness of Lost Empire’s products and awesome service.

365-Day Guarantee: Try Stag Swag or Pine Pollen risk-free with their generous return policy.

How to Use Stag Swag and Pine Pollen

Stag Swag Tincture: Take 10–20 drops sublingually (under the tongue) 1–2 times daily. Hold for 30 seconds before swallowing for optimal absorption. It can be used as a pre-workout boost or to enhance energy throughout the day. A 2-ounce bottle lasts 37 days at the maximum dose.

Pine Pollen Tincture: Take 5–10 drops sublingually 1–2 times daily for hormonal support. It’s ideal for men over 30 or those with low testosterone.

Pine Pollen Powder/Capsules: Mix 1–3 tablespoons of powder into water, smoothies, or coffee, or take 3–6 capsules daily. Powder is gentler and great for overall nutrition, while capsules are convenient.

Pro Tip: For optimal results, COMBINE Stag Swag with Pine Pollen Tincture for a synergistic boost to testosterone and vitality. Start with a low dose to assess tolerance, especially if you have pine allergies.

Real User Experiences

Archie L Warren on Stag Swag: “Top Notch. The combination of other extracts is what makes Stag Swag so very nutritionally powerful.”

Keith Clark on Pine Pollen Tincture: “The first time I tried your Pine Pollen tincture, I was amazed at the difference it made in my libido and stamina.”

Kevin Gallivan on Pine Pollen Powder: “The most affordable and effective source of testosterone I’ve found. I feel confident taking something that doesn’t have adverse side effects.”

What Are The Downsides?

While Stag Swag and Pine Pollen are generally safe, results vary. Some users find Stag Swag’s effects subtle and prefer individual herbs for stronger potency. Pine Pollen may cause mild allergic reactions in those sensitive to pollen, so be sure to start with a small dose. Additionally, Pine Pollen’s taste (especially the powder) can be off-putting for some, though mixing it into smoothies helps a little.

Lost Empire Herbs’ Stag Swag and Pine Pollen are game-changers for men seeking to naturally boost testosterone, energy, and vitality. Stag Swag’s balanced formula offers a holistic approach to men’s health, while Pine Pollen’s nutrient density makes it a versatile superfood for both genders. Backed by quality testing and glowing reviews, these products are worth trying if you’re ready to unleash your inner strength and harness your vitality like a God or Goddess.

Matt Schifferle’s Hybrid Isometrics Training: One Of The Ultimate Strength-Building Methods Around

Time to dig deep into the very depths of a training method that’s not just a workout—it’s a fucking revolution. Matt Schifferle’s Hybrid Isometrics, straight from the crucible of his Red Delta Project, is the kind of game-changer that makes your muscles roar and your nervous system sing like a canary. This ain’t your grandma’s yoga class or some off the wall gym routine. This is some powerful stuff that is built to forge you into a living juggernaut. So grab your iso-loop, and let’s break down why Hybrid Isometrics is arguably the ultimate path to power, resilience, and badassery.

What Are Hybrid Isometrics?

Imagine: You’re pushing hard with incredible force in the push-up position, every fiber in your body screaming with effort, while gravity itself dares you to hold your ground. That’s the essence of Hybrid Isometrics—a beastly blend of overcoming isometrics (pushing or pulling against an unyielding force) and yielding isometrics (holding a position against gravity’s pull). Schifferle, the mastermind behind this method, takes these two insane gods of tension and fuses them into a single, mind-blowing training style that’s as efficient as it is brutal.

With Hybrid Isometrics, you’re not just lifting a weight or chasing rep after rep. You’re tapping into your nervous system’s hidden reserves, commanding your muscles to fire at max capacity, and building strength that’s as functional as it is ferocious. Think of it as a neural hack that unlocks your body’s dormant power—strength that’s been lying in wait, ready to be unleashed.

Benefit #1: Strength That Shatters Limits

Let me make something very clear here: strength isn’t just about big muscles. It’s about your nervous system’s ability to rally every muscle fiber into intense combat. Hybrid Isometrics is like a battle cry to your neurons, forcing them to wake up and work harder than ever. By combining overcoming and yielding isometrics, you’re training your body to generate maximum tension without the wear and tear of dynamic movements.

Schifferle’s approach, laid out in his book Overcoming Isometrics, emphasizes that strength comes from neural conditioning. When you push against a strap or hold a deep lunge with an iso-loop, you’re not limited by a barbell’s weight. You can contract your muscles as hard as humanly possible, building strength that translates to real-world power—whether you’re deadlifting a Tonka Truck or wrestling a bear (you know, normal burly type stuff). Users report seeing strength gains in just weeks, with one reviewer noting, “A couple weeks in, I am seeing progress that I haven’t seen in years.”

Benefit #2: Joint-Saving, Body-Protecting Badassery

Here’s some harsh truth guys: heavy weights and endless reps can grind your joints into dust. But Hybrid Isometrics? It’s like Captain America's shield for your body. Because there’s no movement, you’re not stressing your joints with a crazy amount of repetitive motion or heavy loads. This makes it a godsend for older lifters and trainees, those nursing injuries, or anyone who wants to train like a beast without waking up feeling like they got hit by a train.

Schifferle’s method is especially clutch for folks in their 50s, 60s, or 70s who thought their lifting days were done. One 73-year-old lifter shared, “Lifting weights gets very hard on your joints. Isometrics can let you use maximum power but in a very controlled way. Much safer than weights.” Hybrid Isometrics lets you push your limits while keeping your knees, shoulders, and hips happy. It’s strength training with a built-in bodyguard.

Benefit #3: Minimal Gear, Maximum Gains

Tired of shelling out for fancy gym memberships? Hybrid Isometrics laughs in the face of overpriced fees. All you need is your body, a sturdy surface (think doorframes, countertops, or walls), and maybe a iso-loop from Worldfit.com. Schifferle’s true genius lies in making elite-level training accessible to everyone, anywhere.

Whether you’re in a hotel room, a park, or out on a side walk in your neighborhood, you can crank out a full-body workout that leaves you shaking. No barbells, no dumbbells, no bullshit. As one fan put it, “The new book is introducing great new strength training methods that require no equipment (or just stuff I had around, like rings or stuff in your home).” This is training for the modern day warrior and I'm not talking Kerry Von Erich (RIP) —lean, mean, and ready to dominate with nothing but grit and a strap.

Benefit #4: Mental Toughness Forged in Fire

Listen up, because this one’s pretty damn massive. Hybrid Isometrics isn’t just a physical grind; it’s a mental crucible. Holding a position for 10, 20, or longer than 30 seconds while pushing against an immovable force demands focus, discipline, and a willingness to embrace the burn. It’s you versus your own limits, and every second you hold out is a victory that is yours.

This mental toughness spills over into every part of your life. Whether you’re facing a brutal work deadline or staring down a personal challenge, the resilience you build in those isometric holds makes you unshakeable and full of vitality. Schifferle’s training doesn’t just sculpt your body—it forges your mind into a weapon. As one user said, “I already feel physically and mentally better, and I’ve just begun the journey into Isometrics.”

Benefit #5: Flexibility and Mobility That Defy Age

Think isometrics are just for strength? You haven't seen anything yet. Hybrid Isometrics can boost your flexibility and mobility like nobody’s business. By holding positions under tension, you’re engaging in a form of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) stretching, which relaxes muscles and deepens your range of motion. Tight hamstrings? Stiff hips? Schifferle’s exercises, like the hybrid lunge or push-up with a strap, can unlock your body’s potential for movement.

This is huge for longevity. Strong, mobile joints mean you’re not just jacked—you’re functional, agile, and ready to move like an apex predator well into your later years. One source nails it: “Isometric training can actually improve your flexibility… allowing you to stretch deeper and more effectively.”

Benefit #6: Time-Efficient Domination

Who in the blue hell has time to do a 2 hour session?. Hybrid Isometrics is the ultimate hack for busy badasses who want results without wasting hours. A 20-minute session, 4-5 times a week, is enough to build strength, torch calories, and leave you feeling like you just conquered Mount Olympus. Schifferle’s routines are designed to maximize muscle activation in minimal time, making them perfect for dads, CEOs, or anyone juggling a million responsibilities.

One lifter summed it up: “I’m essentially doing around 20 minutes of OI exercises mixed in with more classic calisthenics, 4-5x per week. That’s all it takes!” This is training that respects your hustle while delivering results that COMMANDS respect.

Benefit #7: A Neural Hack for Explosive Gains

Here’s the science, guys: Hybrid Isometrics is a crucial class in neuromuscular efficiency. By combining overcoming and yielding isometrics, you’re training your brain to recruit more muscle fibers—especially the big, powerful Type II fibers that drive strength and size. Schifferle explains that overcoming isometrics, where you push against an immovable object, create resistance proportional to your effort, making it the perfect environment for neural growth.

Add in yielding isometrics, like holding a plank or split squat, and you’re hitting stabilizer muscles and building endurance. The result? A body that’s not just strong but smart—primed to perform at its peak. As one expert put it, “Isometric contractions are proven superior… in terms of recruiting motor units, it is peerless.”

Why Matt's Approach is the REAL THING???

Matt Schifferle isn’t some ivory-tower fitness guru or some egotistical brain dead dickhead with a god complex. He’s a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwon-Do, a PCC Leadership Team member, and a guy who’s spent decades honing his craft in the trenches. His Red Delta Project is all about fitness independence—staying jacked without letting training or diet rule over your life. He’s the kind of coach who feels like a brother in arms fighting right beside you, sharing wisdom that’s practical, proven, and straight-up epic.

His book Overcoming Isometrics is a battle plan for Hybrid Isometrics, packed with exercises, programming tips, and a special chapter on combining overcoming and yielding for the ultimate workout. Reviewers call it “the best book on isometric training next to Physiology of Strength by Theodore Hettinger” and praise its no-fluff approach. Plus, his YouTube channel (Red Delta Project) is a goldmine of free tutorials to get you started.

Start Simple: Try a hybrid push-up (push against a strap while holding the position) or a wall sit with an overcoming press against the floor. Hold for 10-30 seconds, max effort.

Program Like a Man On A Mission: Use isometrics as a warm-up, finisher, or standalone workout. Schifferle suggests pairing them with dynamic moves like push-ups or squats for a balanced attack.

Stay Consistent: Hit 20-minute sessions 4-5 times a week. Track your progress and watch your strength skyrocket.

Hybrid Isometrics isn’t just a workout—it’s a strategy to conquer your weaknesses. It’s for those who want strength that makes the gods think twice about, resilience that defies time, and a body that’s as functional as it is fearsome. Matt Schifferle’s method is the forge where you’ll craft your ultimate self, with minimal gear, minimal time, and as Deadpool would say "Maximum Effort".

So, what are you waiting for? Step up, grab that strap, and start pushing against the immovable. Your inner Zeus is waiting to roar and strike with glorious purpose with those thunderbolts. Let’s get cracking and be amazingly awesome.

Disclaimer: Always consult a doc before starting a new training program, especially if you’ve got injuries or health concerns. Train smart, stay safe, and dominate.

The Ancient Fury of Goji Berry Powder: A Cosmic Elixir

Let's have some fun and talk about a tale of Lost Empire Herbs’ Goji Berry Powder—a superfood forged in the crucibles of ancient Chinese wisdom, pulsating with the raw, untamed energy of the cosmos. This is no mere store bought supplement; it’s a primal force, a ruby-red beacon of health that beckons the bold to rise, conquer, and thrive. Let us embark on this epic odyssey through the lore, power, and glory of the “Happy Berry”!

Time Travel back to 200 BCE, to the scrolls of the Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing, where the goji berry—gǒuqǐ in the tongue of the ancients—first roared into existence as a top-grade herb, revered by the mythical emperor Shennong, the Divine Farmer himself. This wasn’t just a berry; it was a sacred talisman of longevity, a staple in the diets of sages and warriors who sought to defy time itself. Legend whispers of Li Ching Yuen, a herbalist who, fueled by goji berries, rice wine, and unyielding grit, claimed to have walked this earth for over two centuries, outliving 23 wives and siring 200 heirs. Whether truth or myth, the goji berry’s legacy is etched in the annals of Chinese medicine as the “gateway herb”—a potent, accessible ally for those daring enough to seize its power.

Grown in the pristine highlands of China’s Ningxia region, Lost Empire Herbs’ Goji Berry Powder is no ordinary dust of the earth. These berries are harvested at the zenith of ripeness, freeze-dried to lock in their celestial nutrients, and ground into a vibrant, crimson powder that hums with life. This is not the stuff of supermarket shelves, tainted by additives or weakened by compromise. This is organic, pure, and unapologetically potent—fuel for a world that demands nothing less than your best.

Open your imagination to a substance so fierce it wages war on free radicals, supports your liver like a loyal shield-bearer, sharpens your vision to eagle-like precision, and steadies your blood sugar like a seasoned general commanding the chaos of battle. That’s Goji Berry Powder. With an ORAC value soaring over 25,000, it’s an antioxidant juggernaut, obliterating oxidative stress and guarding your cells against the ravages of time. It’s not just a supplement; it’s a declaration of war against mediocrity.

Anti-Aging Alchemy: Goji berries are loaded with compounds that defy the sands of time. Their polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals—yes, they’re a complete protein—work in concert to support cellular health, keeping you vibrant and unyielding.

Liver & Kidney Fortitude: In the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine, goji berries nourish the liver and kidney channels, fortifying your body’s core systems. They’re like blacksmiths hammering your organs that forge into unbreakable steel.

Eye of the Hawk: Rich in zeaxanthin and other vision-enhancing nutrients, goji powder sharpens your sight, letting you lock onto your goals with predatory focus.

Mood of a Conqueror: Known as the “Happy Berry,” goji powder heightens your spirits, banishing the fog of doubt and igniting a burning fire of optimism. It’s the type of strength and power you need to charge into the fray of life.

Immune Bastion: Packed with vitamins C and A, goji berries bolster your immune system, turning your body into a fortress against invaders. Holding the line to protect you with everything its got.

This isn’t just nutrition; it’s an insane health strategy. Each tablespoon of Lost Empire Herbs’ Goji Berry Powder is a battle-ready dose of nature’s finest, designed to elevate you above the mundane and into the realm of gods & legends.

The beauty of Goji Berry Powder lies in its versatility—it’s as adaptable as a seasoned mercenary. Lost Empire Herbs recommends 1 to 2 tablespoons daily, but as a food-grade superfood, you can wield it as boldly or cautiously as you choose. Here’s how YOU can unleash its power:

The Warrior’s Elixir: Stir 1-2 tablespoons into water or juice and down it like a shot of courage. The sweet, slightly tangy flavor makes it a pleasure, not a chore. Pro tip: Mix it with other herbs like schisandra or pine pollen for a synergistic strike with incredible force and vengeance.

The Morning Siege: Blend it into your morning smoothie with fruits, nuts, and a fat source to enhance absorption. It’s like forging a blade with fire and steel—your body will hum with energy.

The Culinary Conquest: Sprinkle it into baked goods, oatmeal, or yogurt. Its natural sweetness enhances flavors while infusing your meals with vitality.

The Tactical Tincture: For those who prefer liquid fire, try Lost Empire Herbs’ Goji & Schisandra Tincture, a sweet-sour elixir that balances yin and yang for all-over domination.

Unlike the bitter herbs that test your resolve, goji powder is a crowd-pleaser, its taste as inviting as its benefits. It’s the perfect ally for beginners and veterans alike, masking the edge of stronger herbs like Phoenix Formula while adding its own nutritional heft.

Not all goji powders are created equal and here's the 411 as to why..... Lost Empire Herbs stands as an Olympian in a world of pretenders, sourcing their berries from the unspoiled soils of China’s Tibetan Plateau, where pollution dares not tread. Each batch is lab-tested for purity, ensuring low heavy metals, no GMOs, and no additives—just the raw, unadulterated essence of the berry. Freeze-dried to preserve maximum nutrition, this powder is a testament to their creed: “Unleash the Power of Nature.”

Their commitment to quality is matched only by their warrior’s code of customer service. With a 365-day satisfaction window and a support team as fierce as their products, Lost Empire Herbs ensures you’re never alone on your quest for greatness. Free shipping on U.S. orders over $100 sweetens the deal, making it easier to stock your arsenal.

A Word of Caution for the Wise

Goji berries are a safe bet for most, with no known side effects for the average person. But as a member of the nightshade family, they may not suit those with sensitivities. If you’re on blood pressure or diabetes meds, consult your healer—er, doctor—before diving in, as goji’s potency can shift the battlefield. And while lectins have stirred debate, fear not: unless you’re on a strict lectin-free crusade, goji’s benefits far outweigh any overstated risks.

In a world that grinds down the weak, Goji Berry Powder is your warhammer, your protective shield as strong as vibranium, your rallying cry. It’s not just a supplement; it’s a lifestyle, a commitment to living with the ferocity of a dragon and the wisdom of a sage. Whether you’re a novice dipping your toes into herbalism or a seasoned warrior stacking herbs like a master alchemist, Lost Empire Herbs’ Goji Berry Powder is your gateway to greatness.

Seize your 250-gram bag—roughly 25 doses of pure, unfiltered power—and let it fuel your conquests. Mix it, drink it, bake it, or sling it into your smoothie like a grenade of vitality. The battlefield of life awaits, and with Goji Berry Powder in your arsenal, you’re not just surviving—you’re dominating.

For more on this epic elixir, charge over to Lost Empire Herbs and claim your destiny. The “Happy Berry” calls—will you answer?

The Straight Up Myth Of "No Pain, No Gain"

Hey guys, how about we dive into something that holds close to me? You’ve heard it a million times, screamed from gym maniacs, self-help "gurus", and motivational posters plastered on every corner of the internet: “No pain, no gain!” Like, if you ain’t suffering, you ain’t growing or training. If you’re not grinding ‘til you’re bleeding, you’re just wasting space. Sounds epic, right? Sounds like the kind of fire that gets you hyped to conquer just about anything. But let's take a step back—let’s flip the script and unpack this bullshit old mantra. Spoiler alert: “No pain, no gain” is a myth and it's about to be broken down like life depended on it.

First off, let’s look into where this phrase even came from. It’s the old adage that has 80s bodybuilding vibes, like Arnold Schwarzenegger pumping iron and yelling about “the pump” while sweat drips like a faucet. The idea is quite simple: you have to push past your limits, embrace pain, and only through suffering do you unlock greatness. Sounds like a Hollywood montage, but for real though, it’s a half-truth (if that), and it’s being weaponized to make us think progress has to feel like torture and agony.

Don’t get me wrong—growth ain’t always comfy or meant to be done with easy attempts. You don’t get jacked, master a skill, or build an empire by chilling on the couch with a bag of Cheetos. But the idea that pain is the only path to gain? That’s where the myth creeps in. It’s like saying you got to break your legs to learn how to run faster. Nah, I know what it's like to have broken legs so I say fuck that. There’s a smarter way, and it doesn’t involve worshipping suffering like it’s some kind of badge of honor.

 Don’t play with fluff. Pain is your body’s way of saying, “Yo, something’s wrong here!” It’s a signal, not a participation trophy. When you’re lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises, bands or whatever and your muscles are screaming, that’s not growth—it’s stress. The actual growth happens when you recover, when your body repairs those micro-tears in your muscles and comes back stronger. Push too hard, ignore the signal, and you’re not gaining—you’re risking burnout, injury, or worse.

Same goes for mental grind. Hustle culture loves to glorify 80-hour workweeks, sleepless nights, and coffee-fueled marathons like they’re the key to success. But science says otherwise. Studies, like ones from the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology (2020), show chronic overwork tanks your productivity, creativity, and mental health. You’re not “gaining” when you’re burned out—you’re just surviving. Real growth happens when you balance effort with rest, not when you’re white-knuckling through misery. It's even good to tone things down a notch like doing something with lower intensity sometimes.

 Here's the thing: you don’t need to destroy yourself to build yourself. Growth is about consistency, not masochism. Let’s look at some real-world examples to prove this myth ain’t it.

1. Fitness Without the Agony

Ever heard of progressive overload? It’s the gold standard for building muscle and strength. You gradually increase the weight, reps, or intensity over time. No need to max out every freaking time or walk out of the gym like you just got hit by a bunch of crowbars. A 2019 study in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that moderate, consistent training led to similar strength gains as high-intensity, pain-chasing workouts—without the injury risk. You grow by challenging yourself smartly, not by chasing soreness like it’s a personality trait. Soreness doesn't always mean you had a good workout.

2. Mental Growth Without the Breakdown

Wanna master a skill or crush it in your career? The “no pain, no gain” crowd will tell you to grind ‘til you’re crying into your keyboard. But check this shit out: research on deliberate practice (Ericsson, 1993) shows that focused, intentional work—done in short, high-quality bursts—beats mindless hustle every time. Think of it like sprinting, not a death march. You practice, you rest, you reflect, you improve. No need to sacrifice your sanity.

3. Life Goals Without the Suffering

Big dreams don’t require big pain. You don’t need to suffer to scale your hustle; you need strategy, discipline, and—here’s a reality check—self-care. So why do we keep buying into this “pain = gain” crap? ‘Cause it’s sexy and as many of you know, sex sells. It’s dramatic. It makes for great Instagram captions and viral TED Talks. Suffering feels like proof you’re doing something epic. Plus, society loves to romanticize struggle—think “rags to riches” stories or the starving artist trope. We’re conditioned to think that if it’s not hard, it’s not worth it. Many who busted their asses all their lives still ended up miserable, in pain and barely a penny to their name. But that’s a trap. It keeps us stuck in cycles of overwork, burnout, and guilt for taking a damn break. It’s time to rewrite the narrative. You don’t need to bleed to succeed—you need to work smart, stay consistent, and respect your limits.

Here’s the vibe shift we need: replace “no pain, no gain” with “work it, but recover with a vengeance.” Growth isn’t about how much you can endure—it’s about how well you can sustain. Here’s how to make it happen:

Prioritize Recovery: Sleep within the 7-9 hour range, eat nutrient-dense food, and do some recovery training like walking, joint loosening, stretching, Yoga (DDP Style recommended) or completely rest all together if needed. Your body and brain need downtime to rebuild. A 2021 study in Nature found sleep boosts cognitive performance more than any “hustle hack” out there.

Set Smart Challenges: Push your limits, but don’t obliterate them. Aim for close to 80% effort most days, with occasional max-effort sprints. Consistency > intensity.

Listen to Your Body: Pain is a warning, not a requirement. If your knees are screaming during a run or your brain’s foggy from overwork, ease up. Adjust, don’t ignore. It may save your life.

Celebrate Small Wins: You don’t need to suffer to prove your worth. Every step forward counts, whether it’s a new PR in the gym or finishing a project without pulling an all-nighter. The smallest fraction of progress still leads to the big picture.

No pain, no gain? That’s old-school noise, guys. You don’t need to break yourself to build yourself. Growth comes from showing up, putting in what needs to be done and giving your body and mind the space to adapt. It’s not about how much you can suffer—it’s about how much you can sustain. So ditch the myth, embrace the grind in a smarter way, and watch yourself level up without the unnecessary drama.

What’s your take? You still buying into the “no pain, no gain” hype, or you ready to work smarter? Drop your thoughts in the comments or shoot me an email using the Contact Form and give me your insights (respectfully of course, don't be an asshole). 💪

Why Lost Empire Herbs’ Stag Swag Tincture Is One Of The Most Bad Ass Tinctures For Men Over 40

Here's something that’ll make you feel like a primal beast charging through the forest, antlers high, confidence blazing. Time to dive deep into Lost Empire Herbs’ Stag Swag Tincture—a potent, natural formula crafted to reignite that youthful fire in your veins, boost your hormone game, and have you strutting with the swagger of a stag in rutting season. If you’re a guy over 40 feeling the weight of time, stress, or a sluggish system, this is the herbal elixir you didn’t know you needed. Let me put the pieces together with you, no fluff, no bullshit just a raw and uncut truth.

What’s Stag Swag Tincture All About?

Lost Empire Herbs has been slinging high-octane herbal remedies for years, and their Stag Swag Tincture is a very powerful blend of ancient wisdom with modern vitality. This isn’t just another supplement off the counter you'll find in a GNC—it’s a hormonal powerhouse designed to support your endocrine, nervous, and immune systems holistically. Think of it as a natural rocket fuel for your body’s engine, built to tackle the three biggest fears men face as they age: fading bedroom performance, mental fog, and dwindling energy.

The formula is a carefully curated mix of six heavy-hitting ingredients: Deer Antler, Pine Pollen, Cistanche, He Shou Wu, Wild Yam, and Pearl Powder. Each one’s got a job to do and together, they’re like a SEAL team for your health—precise, incredibly strong, and relentless. This tincture is delivered sublingually (under the tongue), so it hits your bloodstream fast like Sonic The Hedgehog, no digestive middleman required.

The Ingredients: Nature’s Finest for Peak Performance

Let’s reach into the fucking soul as to what makes Stag Swag so damn effective. These aren’t random herbs thrown together; they’re a balanced blend of “yang” (strengthening) and “yin” (supporting) elements, rooted in ancient Chinese herbal practices. Here’s the breakdown:

Deer Antler: The star, the showstopper, the main event. Known for its yang Jing energy, deer antler is a legendary ingredient for hormonal support and anti-aging. It’s packed with growth factors that may aid physical healing—think faster recovery and a body that feels ready to conquer. Sourced from farms in Wisconsin, USA, participating in the CWD Herd Status Program, this isn’t your sketchy back-alley extract.

Pine Pollen: A testosterone-supporting beast. This stuff’s loaded with androgens and DHEA, delivering a quick hormonal kick when taken sublingually. It’s like nature’s espresso shot to give you that superpower of vitality.

Cistanche: Another yang herb, Cistanche is a desert plant known for boosting energy and supporting hormone health. It’s a stamina enhancer that keeps you going strong, whether in the gym or the bedroom.

He Shou Wu: A certified organic yin herb, He Shou Wu is a longevity tonic that supports your body’s resilience and balances the formula’s intensity that is ferocious. It’s like the wise elder keeping the young bucks in check.

Wild Yam: Also organic, Wild Yam brings cooling and anti-inflammatory properties to the mix, smoothing out the “hot” energy of the yang herbs. It’s the chill vibe that keeps everything in harmony.

Pearl Powder: A Shen herb with a calming effect, Pearl Powder rounds out the formula with its cooling properties. It’s like the deep breath that helps you stay centered while the other ingredients crank up your power.

This combo isn’t just a random toss of herbs—it’s a strategic blend designed to amplify your body’s natural systems. The yang herbs (Deer Antler, Pine Pollen, Cistanche) push for strength and hormonal fire, while the yin herbs (He Shou Wu, Wild Yam, Pearl Powder) keep things balanced, preventing the formula from being too “hot” or intense.

Why Stag Swag is a Must for Men (and Women, Too)

Listen up, straight shot here. As we hit our 40s and beyond, our bodies under siege—stress, environmental toxins, and father time itself are chipping away at your testosterone, energy, and mental clarity. Stag Swag is formulated with men in mind, tackling those pain points head-on. Users report a surge in energy, sharper focus, and a libido that’ll make your partner raise an eyebrow like The Rock. One guy, Aaron, said, “15 minutes after taking just 20 drops, I got an energy rush followed by a nice chill mood. My libido skyrocketed the rest of the day. This is the real deal.”

But here’s another kicker that may surprise you—women can use it, too. At a lower dose (1-3 drops daily), it supports hormone balance and energy without overwhelming the system. It’s like a universal key to unlocking vitality, no matter your gender.

Now with honesty: results vary. Not every herb clicks with every body, but Lost Empire Herbs’ 365-day satisfaction guarantee means you can try it risk-free. If it doesn’t vibe with you, it's cool, send it back. No hassle.

The Science and the Swagger

Stag Swag isn’t just ancient wisdom—it’s backed by modern rigor. Lost Empire Herbs tests every batch for purity and safety, sharing results openly to build trust. The herbs are sourced from the USA and China, with He Shou Wu and Wild Yam being certified organic, and none of the ingredients are grown using conventional methods.

The sublingual delivery is a game-changer. By bypassing digestion, the active compounds hit your bloodstream fast, giving you that quick energy and hormonal boost. Users like Archie L Warren rave, “The combination of extracts is what makes Stag Swag so very nutritionally powerful.” Another reviewer mentioned relief from back pain and better performance at work and the gym, with improved mental clarity and gained sex drive.

How to Use It and Where to Get It

Start with 10-20 drops under the tongue, once or twice a day. Experiment to find that sweet spot—some guys feel the effects at lower doses, others go higher. It’s $69.99 for a 1 fl oz bottle, but keep an eye out for deals like 15% off with promo codes or $30 off Stag Swag-specific offers. Free shipping kicks in on orders over $100.

You can grab it directly from Lost Empire Herbs’ website or check out their Amazon store. If you’re international, be aware of potential customs fees—Lost Empire Herbs isn’t liable for those, so check your country’s rules before ordering.

Is Stag Swag Worth It?

Stag Swag isn’t just a tincture—it’s a lifestyle upgrade. It’s for the man who refuses to let age slow him down, who wants to feel that primal energy coursing through him again. It’s for the woman seeking balance and vitality in a hectic world. With a blend of potent yang and grounding yin herbs, this formula delivers energy, confidence, and that undeniable swagger.

Lost Empire Herbs is a brand you can trust—transparent, high-quality, and backed by thousands of happy customers (over 5,000 reviews on Trustpilot with a 4-star rating). Whether you’re battling stress, chasing peak performance, or just want to feel like a damn God again, Stag Swag’s got your back.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab a bottle, unleash the power of nature, and strut your stuff. The forest is calling, and you’ve got the antlers to answer. Keep being amazingly awesome in the process.

Be Fit, Live Free: A Bad Ass Guide To Fitness Freedom

How goes it? Are you ready for another sweet review about the Red Delta Project, because today we’re diving headfirst into the raw, unfiltered wisdom of Be Fit, Live Free by the one and only Matt Schifferle, the mastermind behind this book. This isn’t just a book—it’s a manifesto, flipping the bird to the fitness industry’s snake oil peddlers, and a roadmap to reclaiming your strength, your health, and a life you can be proud of. If you’re tired of being shackled by dogmatic diets, soul-crushing gym routines that are so tedious & boring and influencers who care more about their bank accounts than your physique, then buckle up. This is the Excalibur of fitness independence, and I’m here to tell my stance and my truth.

The Man, The Legend, The Calisthenics Crusader

Let’s start with Matt Schifferle himself, because this dude is the real deal. A 5th-degree black belt in Taekwon-Do, a lifelong calisthenics fanatic, and a personal trainer who’s been in the trenches for decades, Matt’s not some Instagram bro flexing in a mirror with a protein shake or some narcissistic "Guru". He’s a Vermont-born, Colorado-dwelling, ice-cream-loving everyman who figured out that fitness doesn’t have to be a prison sentence. Through his Red Delta Project, Matt’s been dropping knowledge bombs on YouTube, in books, and in person, helping tons of people in stratospheric numbers, I shit you not—that cuts through the noise and gets them strong without losing their soul. As Paul Wade, the Convict Conditioning legend, calls him “the greatest living expert in bodyweight bodybuilding alive today.” That’s not hyperbole; that’s a fucking fact.

In Be Fit, Live Free, Matt distills his philosophy into a primal, no-BS guide that’s as refreshing as a cold plunge in a mountain stream. This book isn’t about chasing a six-pack or fitting into some cookie-cutter generic program. It’s about tapping into the principles of Mother Nature and human biology to build a body that’s strong, functional, and free—free from fads, free from dogma, and free from the grind that makes you dread working out.

Want To Know The Fitness World’s Dirty Little Secret?

Matt’s got the balls of vibranium to call out out the fitness industry for what it is: a circus of confusion designed to keep you guessing and spending (especially on courses that cost more than 200 dollars yet has less than $10 of the quality). Influencers with spray-tanned abs and million-dollar smiles push quick fixes, miracle diets, and $2,000+ workout machines, all while laughing their way to the bank (asshole galore I'd say). As one reviewer put it, “The influencers don’t have others’ best interests at heart, they have their bank accounts at heart… it’s disgusting.” Matt sees through the smoke and mirrors, and in Be Fit, Live Free, he rips the curtain down with a vengeance.

The problem? Modern fitness culture thrives on complexity and dogma. You’re told you need a 12-week shred plan, a keto diet, or a garage full of equipment to get fit. Wrong. Matt argues that fitness is simpler than that—way simpler. It’s about fundamentals, not fads. It’s about moving your body the way it was designed to move, eating in a way that doesn’t make you miserable, and building habits that last longer than a New Year’s resolution. This book is a rebellion against the idea that fitness has to be hard to be effective or one person's way or the highway. As Matt says, it’s about “be[ing] fit and liv[ing] free.” I love that shit man.

What’s Inside the Book? Pure Gold, That Pirates Of The Caribbean Would Kill For

Be Fit, Live Free is like a Swiss Army knife for fitness—compact, practical, and ready for anything. Matt doesn’t waste your time with fluff or “geschwafel” (that’s German for nonsense, and REAL reviewers love that he cuts it out). Here’s what you’re getting:

A Back-to-Basics Blueprint: Matt strips fitness down to its core principles, rooted in human nature and biology as mentioned earlier. Think calisthenics, functional movement, and nutrition that doesn’t require a PhD to understand. He’s not here to sell you on some trendy superfood; he’s here to remind you that your body is the ultimate gym.

A Smackdown of Fitness Myths: Matt takes an epic sledgehammer to the lies you’ve been fed. Diets that promise instant results? Doomed from the start. Workouts that demand wasted hours of your life? Unnecessary. He explains why “almost all diets are based on the same flawed premise” and why “almost everything you’ve learned about using exercise to change the shape of your body is wrong.”

Real Talk on Motivation and Mindset: This isn’t just about push-ups and pull-ups (though Matt’s got you covered there and is one of the very best in the world at them). It’s about rewiring your brain to see fitness as a lifelong adventure, not a punishment. He tackles the toxic influence of social media, the pressure to look like a fitness model, and the unrealistic expectations that make people quit. One reader said it best: “The book helps [YOU] set realistic and healthy expectations.” For real, there are numbnuts out there preaching DANGEROUS advice such as drinking 30 or more cups of espresso a day for caffeine intake and smoking cigarettes saying "That's the way to go". That's not health, that's straight up murder to the human body.

Practical Tools for Every Level: Whether you’re a beginner who can barely do a push-up or a seasoned athlete banging out archer pull-ups like it's going out of style, Matt’s got strategies for you. His focus on progressions—simple, skill-light movements that build strength over time—means you’re never stuck. Plus, he’s a huge fan of suspension trainers and bodyweight exercises, so you don’t need a fancy gym filled to the rafters of equipment.

A Dose of Humor and Humanity: Matt’s not some drill sergeant barking orders. He’s a regular guy who loves skiing, biking, and Ben & Jerry’s. His writing is direct, relatable, and occasionally funny, like a buddy who’s got your back and hangs with you. Reviewers rave about his "positivity" and how he “makes training interesting and fun to do.” That's what training should be about.

The only gripe? Some typos. There are a few Grammar Nazis that wished Matt had hired a sharper editor, but let’s be real—when the content’s this good, a misplaced comma ain’t gonna ruin the party. 

Why This Book Hits Like a Mike Tyson Knockout Punch

What makes Be Fit, Live Free stand out in a sea of fitness books? It’s the philosophy. Matt’s not just teaching you how to do a squat; he’s teaching you how to think about fitness. He’s not promising you a beach body in 30 days; he’s promising you a lifetime of strength and freedom. As one reader said, “Discovering the work of Matt Schifferle has been the game-changing advice I have always been searching for in the world of fitness.” Awesome.

Matt’s approach is holistic. He covers the physical (exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats), the mental (how to stay motivated without burning out), and the cultural (why social media’s comparison game is a trap). He’s not afraid to get deep, either. He draws parallels to masters like Jiro, the sushi chef from Jiro Dreams of Sushi, who spent a lifetime perfecting the basics. That’s what Matt’s about: mastering the fundamentals, not chasing the shiny new thing.

And let’s get down to brass-tacks about results. The Real Reviewers are raving about this book. One guy went from struggling to banging out advanced moves like commando pull-ups and weighted split squats, all thanks to Matt’s guidance. Another called it “chalk-full of highly potent information” that’s “easily digestible” for anyone. Even skeptics who’ve read every fitness book under the sun say this one’s different: “It’s stuff you know you know but need telling.”

My Verdict: A Must-Read for Fitness Fanatics (Along with Collectors)

Here’s the bottom line: Be Fit, Live Free is a battle cry for anyone who’s sick of the fitness industry’s lies and  is ready to take control of their health. Matt Schifferle doesn’t just hand you a workout plan; he hands you a mindset, a toolkit, and a vision for a life where fitness is fun, sustainable, and yours for the taking. This book is for the busy mom who wants to stay strong, the desk jockey who needs to move, and the athlete who’s tired of beating their joints into submission. It’s for anyone who believes that fitness should enhance your life, not dominate it.

Read this book. Live and soak up its principles. Be fit, live free. And while you’re at it, check out Matt’s Red Delta Project on YouTube for a masterclass in calisthenics and common sense. His Grind Style Calisthenics paperback is another gem, and at under 30 bucks, it’s a steal compared to the overpriced bullshit that looks promising but leaves you at the alter in the rain.

So, what are you waiting for? Grab Be Fit, Live Free, strap on your suspension trainer, and start building a body that’s as strong as your spirit. As Matt would say, “Live fit, be free.” Now go be amazingly awesome.

Why You Should Crush Workouts While Traveling

Lets talk about keeping your gains and your sanity intact while you’re out there conquering new lands or just making those pleasurable trips more interesting. Traveling—whether it’s for work, adventure, or just vibing in a new spot—can be a beast that tries to derail your fitness. however; we're not going to bow to excuses, are we? Hell no. Exercising while traveling isn’t just a flex; it’s a game-changer that keeps your mind sharp, your body strong, and your spirit unbreakable. Let’s break down why you need to pack your discipline alongside your passport and make every trip a chance to level up.

1. Stay a Savage, No Matter the Zip Code

When you’re bouncing between airports, hotels, or Airbnbs, it’s easy to let your routine slip. New surroundings, weird schedules, and that sneaky voice saying, “You’re on vacation, chill.” No way. Sticking to your workouts as best as you can on the road is a declaration of dominance. It’s you saying, “I control my destiny, not my itinerary.” A quick hotel room HIIT session, a run through the streets or on the beach of a new city, small town or hitting a local gym keeps your momentum roaring. Consistency is king, and kings don’t take days off just because they crossed a border.

2. Smash Stress, Jet Lag Or Those Long Hours In The Car Like a Boss

Travel can be a meat grinder for your mental state—long flights, time zone hops, and the chaos of navigating unfamiliar turf. Exercise is your secret weapon to crush that noise. A solid sweat session pumps endorphins, torches anxiety, and resets your internal clock. Studies back this up: aerobic exercise can cut jet lag recovery time by regulating your circadian rhythm (look it up, science is crazy). So, when you land, lace up your kicks, find a park, and sprint it out. You’ll feel like a god while everyone else is popping melatonin and giving themselves a hard time.

3. Explore Like a Beast, Not a Tourist

Ditch the basic sightseeing bus and turn your workout into an adventure. Run through the cobblestone streets of Rome at dawn. Do pull-ups on a beachside bar in Bali. Hike a mountain trail in Colorado with a weighted pack. Exercising while traveling lets you experience a place in a raw, primal way. You’re not just seeing the world—you’re owning it. Plus, you’ll stumble on hidden gems no guidebook will ever show you. That’s the kind of story that makes you a legend at the bar later or just taking it easy later at cool restaurant or whatever.

4. Keep Your Gains, Don’t Let ‘Em Ghost You

Let’s be real: skipping workouts for a week or two can start unraveling your hard-earned progress. Muscle loss kicks in faster than you think, especially if you’re eating like a tourist (pizza in Naples, croissants in Paris, you know the vibe). A quick bodyweight circuit—push-ups, squats, burpees—takes 20 minutes and keeps your muscles engaged. No gym? No problem. Use the WorldFit Iso Trainer for isometric sessions or a park bench for dips. You didn’t grind for that physique just to let it fade because you’re “on the road.”

5. Build Mental Fortitude That Shatters Limits

Exercising while traveling isn’t just about your body; it’s about forging an unbreakable mind. When you’re in a new environment, tired, maybe lost, and still choose to crank out a workout, you’re training your willpower to laugh at adversity. That’s the kind of mental toughness that spills over into every part of your life—business deals, relationships, you name it. Every rep you push through in a cramped hotel room is flipping off to the stereotypes of just laying around. That’s how you become a force of nature. Micro Workouts are very powerful.

How to Make It Happen: No Excuses, Just Execution  

Pack Light, Train Heavy: Bring a jump rope, resistance bands, or just your bodyweight. You don’t need a full gym to go beast mode.

Plan Like a General: Scope out local areas for some kick ass sessions, trails, or parks before you go. Apps like Strava or Google Maps are your recon team.  

Time It Right: Morning workouts beat jet lag and free up your day for exploring. Plus, you’ll feel like a champ while others are still snoozing. Things like loosening up the joints or DDP Yoga, HIIT ect. 

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome: No equipment? Use stairs, benches, or your own luggage. Can’t run outside? Crank out a Tabata in your room. Adaptability is power. I've even used my duffle bag full of clothes as an alternative to the Sandbag. 

Fuel Smart: Travel food can be a trap. Hit local markets for protein-packed snacks like nuts or jerky to keep your macros on point if you're into that sort of thing but overall, keep a good level of eating good while you have fun.

The Bottom Line: Be Unstoppable

Traveling is a chance to test your mettle, not an excuse to slack. Exercising on the road keeps your body chiseled or maintaining your energy and strength, your mind razor-sharp, and your soul fired up. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being relentless. So, next time you’re packing for a trip, throw in your sneakers and your grit. The world is your gym, and every workout is a chance to prove you’re a cut above. Now go out there, dominate, and make every mile a masterpiece.

Stay strong, stay amazingly awesome.

Good Morning Workout For Joint Health, Neck Work & Deep Breathing

 Been up a while now and waking up to traffic and blustering winds, not that bad considering. Got some good training in to start the day starting with some deep breathing exercises including the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener that I learned from Combat Abs. Moved on to my Neck Mobility Workout and felt really good clearing the cobwebs and worked some Joint Loosening, feeling relaxed and ready to get the day going. 

Today's going to be a good day for me and the girlie, a nice outing later with lunch and maybe a movie (thinking Captain America: Brave New World) and just being together. It's important to just be with the people in your life and enjoy the bonding and having fun together. 

It is a joy to be able to do things and then get to spend time with a loved one, life is too fucking short to be bitter and acting like some superior dickhead. Finding the balance in certain aspects of life isn't easy and it can be tough at times but when an opportunity arises, do what you can and let it sink in. Yeah, I can be a sappy son of a bitch at times but it's better than being a prick with a stick up his ass and being some Andrew Tate wanna-be (who would really want to be that numbnuts anyway).

Being on a Fitness Journey isn't always what the workouts do to make life better, it's what they continue to bring and teach you how to adapt when needed, just like in life. Being stiff is no fun whether physically or mentally and focusing too much on that "kill or be killed" mentality can turn you into someone that becomes lonely and not worth being around. Sure it's important to protect yourself when it calls for it or protect those you love but unless you live in an area where there isn't much of a choice to protect yourself and have that mentality all the time, learn to find the balance.

Doing exercises for the neck can do wonders for brain function and get the nerves firing for a healthy spine, not just building a strong neck. Loosening up the joints goes beyond stretching and just doing gentle exercises, it builds durability and be able to move more smoothly with limited chances of injury instead of high risk and being prone to them. The deep breathing gets those juices flowing and waking the body up from the inside. The old timers knew the crucial elements of deep breathing and what they represent. From Shaolin Monks to Charles Atlas, The Mighty Atom, Paul Bragg and Maxick; all practiced Deep Breathing and knew their benefits for what they will do later on.

Hope everyone has a great morning and keep killing your goals whether they're small or massive, every goal conquered is a victory for what lies ahead. Be amazingly awesome.   

New Adventure Has Begun

 Shit, it really has been a bit since my last post which really showed some awesome support from very wonderful people. It has been a process otherwise though outside of that and I will be writing more often so get ready for a hell of a rollercoaster ride. 

My wife and I have been looking at places for a long time now and we finally hit a spot that works for us for now. We have moved into a new apartment this past week and most of the stuff we brought with us is here and ready to made into a home. Just a few finishing touches and everything will be complete. It has been chaotic, adrenaline pumping and carrying boxes, trinkets and many other things. We live on a third floor so we have to climb stairs to get to the place. It's a total of 36 steps to get to the apartment and carrying up heavy stuff while going up and down those multiple times a day has been a crazy workout but I'm loving it.

No elevator so that's a bit of a work yet not so bad. Had movers get the couch, entertainment center, some boxes and book cases. They did an amazing job despite setbacks with their truck and we tipped them well. It's a 2 and 2, so we get to have an office that we share, opposite sides of the room so I can do my thing and she can focus on her thing with writing, photography stuff and others. Just need to put books away mostly and get rid of a few boxes but other than that, all gravy. 

The complex has a gym with some basic stuff and used it a couple times so far and I'm enjoying it. A dumbbell rack with some kettlebells, stair master, rower, treadmills and a combo rack of a pullup bar, dip handles and ab work. Living next to the freeway has both perks and a small annoyance but it becomes a blur after a while. The girlie can get to work faster now within 30 minutes instead of an hour so we're both happy about that. If you look past the freeway, there is beautiful Mountains to look at. We're at Stateline between Idaho & Washington and in the middle of a UPS area where they take the trucks and all that. Neighborhood is pretty decent (still better than some of the shit in Santa Cruz LOL) and neighbors are friendly around here. 

Still getting my workouts in, so some of the workouts I've posted recently on Social Media, have been either before the chaos of getting stuff into the apartment or after a long ass day of doing it and still managing workouts like Iso Training, 500 Step Up sessions (in addition to climbing the fucking staircase lol) and a couple sessions in the gym. On a waitlist for a garage which I can put the rest of my equipment in but hey, should be good.

I've also been taking some bad ass Supps lately from Lost Empire that have been a big help in keeping my energy levels up. They've also maintained my strength and focus throughout this whole process. With moving, it can make you crazy at times so I'm grateful to have these. 

Hercules Pre Workout Formula

Shilajit Capsules

Pine Pollen Tincture

Overall, I'm happy and it has been a ride throughout this whole process. Welcoming a new adventure with good times ahead and having a blast with the woman I love. Keep being amazingly awesome everyone. More articles to come.

Upper One Day Lower The Next

 The fun thing about training is the experimenting and seeing what comes out of it. Being an advocate for Isometrics especially Overcoming, it is a method that not only strengthens the tendons and ligaments but also enhances the quality of life as you move through ranges of motion. Yeah sure you're hitting various angles in a single point but as you strengthen those single points that leads to greater range of motion later on, it puts another perspective into play. 

A good routine that helps build that strength can be done almost in a split style; doing various muscle groups on certain days or you can work on doing Upper Body one day and then Lower Body the next. The possibilities are endless. Working on certain muscle groups can help find your weak points from another point of view and hit the muscles hard without spending a ton of time. Although I prefer the 7-12 Second contraction method, you can vary the intensity and length of time however you like or what gives you the most benefit. That's the true secret is what helps you move forward and have a wealth of knowledge that puts you in the driver seat instead of being the passenger. 

Having an upper and lower body split routine can be beneficial because you can hit muscles hard and then rest them while working on the others. You can even make a point of working on say shoulders and chest on let's say Monday, Legs on Tuesday, Back & Arms on Wednesday and Legs again on Thursday. You can then have the option of taking a "rest" day and do some casual stuff or repeat the program, it's up to you. Just remember to pay attention to your body and get a feel for it, you don't want to go into overkill mode. If you need a break, take it, your body, your choice. 

Isometrics in my eyes and in many, is one of the most underrated methods of strength training for a reason. It's not glamorous nor is it easy but it also doesn't sell a whole lot cause all it looks like to the untrained eye is just a hold for a few seconds or longer. Looks too simple and people shrug it off. It's simple but even the most basic holds can test your strength and even show your weaknesses almost immediately. When you utilize Isometrics into a routine, it can make you faster, lift with greater efficiency and hit spots you may be lacking at. It's more than just a stand-alone or add on, it's a next level style of work that gives you tools that bring you into another realm of strength. The type of strength that means something, life saving, the difference between winning and losing, the way you shake a person's hand, your performance in sports and combat. It is an essential part of physical fitness that can't be ignored. 

Learn the value of Isometrics and incorporate them into your life, see and feel what you can accomplish. Keep being amazingly awesome.
