G’day,

A brutal day on two counts. This morning I did Lactic Acid Part 2 which required 5 pre-exhaust supersets for each muscle group…on 20 seconds rest. This is a high intensity form of training geared for maxinmum fat loss in minimum time.

DO try this at home is rapid-fire fat loss is your goal!

The second ‘brutal’ event took place this evening. I got home from work at my usual time of 5:00 pm and discovered I didn’t have my house keys! This threw me for a loop as I am so disciplined now with my nightly schedule.

I have zero time to relax (or waste) when I get home if I am to get to bed by 10:30 pm for 8 hours muscle recovery sleep.

This is because I am now maintaining 3 online picture journals, 3 daily blogs, 2 weekly blogs, 2 online training journals, 1 online daily nutrition journal and a ‘top secret project’ that is a full uncensored daily documentation of M2 which includes daily video and a few other items.

So, you can see what I mean. I have no time to lose. I am living in real time every hour of every single day. This is what I call massive action immersion, I have no idea what is going on in the outside world.

Put simply this is…Operation Block Out The Negative Data Sphere

I don’t watch TV, don’t watch movies, don’t listen to the radio, don’t read newspapers, don’t read magazines and only surf the internet to fitness related sites.

Let me tell you something, this is so liberating. My mind is completely fresh every minute of day, I have no negative energy that comes from ingesting daily doses media propaganda, advertising jingles and 24/7 gossip.

Trust me, anything that is worth knowing you’ll eventually hear about.

Try it sometime and see how better you feel.

Peace,
AJ

G’day,

Today I went hard with Lactic Acid (LT) Training. LT training utilizes 20 second rest periods in order to maximize fat lass by forcing your muscles to increase tension.This is because your bloodstream is unable to eliminate the lactic acid accumulation in such a short period of time.

LT is great for penetrating and stimulating those deep muscle fibres through the ’shock’ effect. The end result is a more intense workout as you constantly feel the ‘pump’ which spurs you on even further.

This process results in a cycle of positive energy that will help transform your physique and get the rapid weight loss you desire. I highly recommend incorporating LT training into your workout routine if you are on a fat loss journey.

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think Big!

G’day,

Today’s post is for people who are serious about shredding down to single digit bodyfat. First, a little background. I started my fat loss journey on November 8, 2006 at 20.8% bodyfat, I am currently under 10% with my goal of 5% by March 24, 2007 already ‘in the bag’.

Obviously I am doing something right. Today I will let you in on my ‘secret’ fat loss weapon… Hybrid Cardio. This form of cardio has been a major component of my success so far. Actually, cardio is the most important ‘shredding’ tool that you can use.

My system combines two forms of cardio in one session, one at maximal intensity (Tier 1intensity) and the other at sub-maximal intensity (Tier 2 intensity). The major benefit of Hybrid Cardio is that it allows a quick high intensity workout while preventing adaption which is body’s number one enemy when it comes to transforming your physique.

Hybrid Cardio also gives you variety with your cardio sessions so you never get bored. For example, today I did skipping (Tier 1) and boxing (Tier 2) and felt the ‘buzz’ kick in after only 5 minutes.

This ‘buzz’ is the chemical reaction of endorphins flooding you brain and bloodstream.

It does not get any better than this!

This is THE ONLY way to train, hard, heavy and intense.

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think Big!

Peace,
AJ

G’day,

Today I experienced first-hand a key component of physique transformation. This is the concept of progressive overlaod, this really is the key to your ongoing physique progression.

I increased my weight load on most exercises since the last time (on Day 65) I performed this routine, Fat Loss Circuit Training Part 2. Tracking this progression is possible because I diligently log every single workout with full stats on my weights, reps, sets and techniques.

I highly recommend logging your workouts in real-time, while your actually doing your workout. I log my stats during my rest periods (as short as they are) and at the end of my workout I’ll write a review of my workout with both positive and negative points.

To be precise today I went hard with quads, hammies, shoulders and triceps with my ‘rest’ period again being 40 seconds of double hop skipping.

I increased my weight load on quads (with squats), shoulders (with barbell overhead press) and triceps (with dumbell overhead extension).

It was an intense session and I now feel I’m getting back to my peak level of fitness on Day 84.

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think Big!

Peace,
AJ

G’day,

The human touch is an amazing thing. Today I had my first massage in 103 days and don’t I feel better. To be specific I had a foot reflexology massage. This style is very intense as each part of your foot relates to a specific organ of your body. If you have never had one before you can really open up a can of worms!

Why a foot massage? Well, my feet have taken an absolute pounding over the last 103 days. They have run 210 kilometres at high speed, skipped for 40 hours, cycled for 50 kilometres and swam for 15 kilometres.

To say they were in need of some TLC is a understatement! The bonus is that my calf muscles were included in the treatment. My calves have taken an equal hammering and it felt great to get them some relief as well.

I am going to make massage a weekly appointment. Next time I’ll try a hand massage, should be interesting as my hands are usually pretty sensitive to reflexology.

What do you think? Is getting a massage purely a luxury or is it a necessary component of optimal health and well-being? I am definitely of the opinion that it is the latter.

To quote one of my mentors, Randy Gage, he said if everyone on planet Earth got a massage once a week there would be no more war. I agree with Randy.

Anyway, today I went hard with ‘Fat Loss Circuit Training’. I did chest, back, biceps & calves with my ‘rest’ period being 40 seconds of skipping. It was tough, but I still feel great now, 6 hours after my workout.

Training hard in the morning really does juice the rest of your day!
