The Secret Super Fast Six Pack Abs Bro-gram (or Heavy Lifting?)

Sorry for I have not updated this blog in a long time. I’ve been busy with work.

To make up my long silence, I'm back with a big announcement!

It is titled The Secret Super Fast Six Pack Abs Bro-gram™ (no typos here, folks).

Or... Just Lift Heavy

OK, I’m just f*cking with you. No audio books, DVDs or secrets here.

But I have something to show you that’s actually real. Do you still remeber Patrik - a guy who shed 28 lbs of fat and got strong in just 3 months - from one of my earlier posts?

How’s he doing these days? Well, take a look.

No special core exercises, bosu-balls, or curls. Patrik does what we do here; he trains hard and lifts heavy. He does consistent work and keeps things simple.

How to Walk the Talk: Keep Your Goals to Yourself

There are a lot of people, who constantly make a big fuss about their goals. They might be on a mission to quit smoking, lose weight or gain muscle or whatever they are into at the moment. If you are not one of them, you most certainly know some of them.

I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that!

And what happens? They never get shit done. Well technically, they do get started with a massive amount of enthusiasm but never actually finish anything. What they probably should've done, is keep their mouth shut. Let me explain.

Talking or Doing?

It's a good thing to tell people about your goals and intentions, isn't it? Apparently not. Some studies have been made and some books have been written about the subject. To cut the story short: telling someone your goals makes them less likely to happen.

Human brain isn't always very clever. Seemingly, it often can't make a difference between talking and doing. Telling someone your goal and getting aknowledged of that tricks your brain to think, that it's already been done. Because of that feeling of satisfation, you end up less motivated to actually do the dirty work.

Your brain is after the reward and it doesn't really mind, whether it comes from actually walking the walk or just talking the talk.

So, keep your goals to yourself and just do the work.

How People Around You Shape You

Earlier today I was sparring submission wrestling with a friend. To me that meant a full hour of proper ass whooping. My poor performance kind of pissed me off, but after a while I ended up thinking about something that's been rolling in my head for a while now.

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.

Above is a quote from Jim Rohn.

If you want to grow and move forward, it's crucial to have inspiring and skilled people around you.

Are the people you spend time with the people you admire? Do you spend time with people who bring you down or people who enable you to take the next step?

Quoting Steven Winterburn.

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.

In sports, moving to the next level often means getting your ass kicked every now and then, but so be it. Let it elevate you.

Resonate With People With Traits You Aspire To Have

Meet Patrik, a friend of mine who I first met few months ago. Soon after, he started to pay attention to his eating habits a bit more and go to gym with me. In three months he dropped over 28 lbs (13 kg) of body fat and got a whole lot stronger. Sadly we didn't take proper before/after -pictures so you'll just have to settle for these.

Lesson of the Day: If you want to be fit, start hanging out with fit people. If you want to be smart, start hanging out with smart people. If you want to be a great cook, start hanging out with great cooks. You get the idea.

Oh, and just in case, if you start hanging out with people with shaved heads, you just might end up shaving your own one day. You've been warned!
