Welcome to Shredder World!

This is the new look layout for all things Shredder! I feel it is best to make a “Bumper Edition” every Sunday that not only documents breaking news from the ShredderSphere from the previous week but also the Shredder Archive!

After all, the Shredders who kicked off the Original RTP Group Shred have been shredding hard for close to 150 days now. Actually the original Shredders (who are still active) are a part of Shredder Folklore as they are members of a very exclusive club, The Shredder Council.

N.B. Another reason the Shredder World only goes live once a week is because my blog was under lock-down from Day 460 to Day 473 due to the same links being posted every day (traits of an automated blog).

P.S. NYC Stealth Mission Video Update coming soon…

G’day Shredders,

A Stealth Mission at B&N to see if the rumors are true…

G’day Shredders,

Live video from Times Square where Tom Venuto and I check out Rent, an awesome Broadway Musical!

We also make a stops at New York Times HQ, ABC HQ, The Majestic where Phantom Of The Opera plays, NYE Ball Drop on Times Square AND the best place to lose your six-pack abs!

Enjoy!

In Yesterday’s Day 505: M4 Training Day II post I had my toughest quiz yet! Lilla and Joni got the first answer 100% correct by answering that the Training Day pics were paradoxically congruent with the picture of Tom and I in Times Square (pics seen below).

Here are Lilla’s and Joni’s responses below:

Lilla said…

Amazing photographic genius!!!

Paradox? Pain (Training) vs. Pleasure (Reward)

=========================

Joni said…

Yeah, Lilla, I wonder why you think so

Ditto on her answer – paying the price, then reaping the benefits. Hopefully we can all really embrace this during the next 8 weeks!!

Congrats on everything!

=========================

Spot on Lilla and Joni!

However, my second question went unanswered (except for Lill’a attempt!) which asked what the “common thread” that binds these images together? The answer is very simple…Visualization!

It’s true, while I constantly visualized my M4 Training Day workout with Tom Venuto – as documented in M4 Shred: Real Time Accountability – I also visualized an image very, very similar to the one you see above with me and Tom in Times Square!

This experience would be a dream come true – chilling out with Tom Venuto in Times Square after seeing a Broadway Show – as it would have been unthinkable for this event to occur back on Day 1: The Truth Hurts – November 8, 2006.

My wildest dreams actually came true…never underestimate the power of image-based visualization!

N.B. This evening out with Tom actually occurred on Day 505, but as you can see I’ve been stuck on Day 505 for a while now – having already made 3 separate blog posts for this day! Therefore its time to move on so I can get back to real time on this blog!

Eat Clean,
Shred Hard,
Think BIG!

Cheers,
Adam Waters, NESTA-CPT

P.S. Below are Day 506 RTP Blog Daily Pictures for March 28, 2008: Live from Times Square, New York City

Day 139: Stranded In Bangkok!

G’day Shredders,

As you probably know the original M4 Training Day on March 22, 2008 – Day 500: M4 Training Day – was the “event” I originally promoted on this blog, in graphics and in videos.

This was to be THE workout to end all workouts…and it was!

M4 Training Day Goal Graphic: Published on Day 400

M4 Training Day Countdown Video: Published on Day 490

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4M0sTtcvdM]

A Slight Problem!

While this Day 500 workout was “off the Richter Scale” for intensity we were only able to capture snippets on tape as Tom and I were so focused on the workout!

However, on Day 505 we were able to capture the “essence” of this particularly brutal leg session as we had “hired” an awesome videographer (codename L) especially for this day!

M4 Training Day II Goes Live!

Therefore I have named Day 505 as M4 Training Day II because it really is the best documentation Tom and I have of all our 6 workouts over our 8-day training period.

125 Days Of Preparation

Before I show you these M4 Training Day II pictures I want to make very clear that these workouts with Tom Venuto were quite literally the culmination of 125 days of mental and physical training over the entirety of Mission 4.

M4 Shred: Real Time Accountability

I visualized this workout at a set time almost every day throughout Mission 4 which was documented daily in my M4 Shred: Real Time Accountability Log ( example seen below).

This is important because it demonstrates the importance of proper mental and physical training to prepare for an “event” and also why these pictures may seem a little “extreme”.

I do not for a second claim to be on the same intensity level as fitness professionals like Tom Venuto. For Tom these sessions were just “another day at the office.”

The Truth About Mission 4

The truth is I am just a regular guy who had an extraordinary opportunity to train with the best. This opportunity to train with Tom on his “home turf” was the driving force behind M4 as it was my stated goal to be able to “stack up in his gym” (see graphic above).

The First Training Pics I Have Ever Postsed

One final point I’ll make is that these images are the first training pictures I have ever posted on this blog. The reason I have not posted any training pics before now is because I believe workouts are your “private time” and it is up to each of us as individuals to decide how we train and what we do in our sessions.

The Real Focus Of This Blog

The focus of this blog has always been accountability through a variety of “positive pressure methods” like daily posting, daily pictures, real time accountability logging and some motivational strategies like Redemption & Reveal during M2. 

Why I Am Putting These Pics Up Now

With that said I do get a ton of emails and requests for training pictures as some people seem to be curious if I actually do train with the intensity I discuss in my blog posts. In fact, I received a comment yesterday saying that it was “impossible” that I made this much progress in that time frame. I have a feeling that my lack of training pics contributes to this line of thinking.

From Osaka To New York!

Therefore, as I have now just completed 505 days of training that has taken me FROM my Day 1 depressed and overweight state in the grip 6 years of “self-sabotage solitary confinement” in my one bedroom apartment in Osaka TO the heights of training in New York with the Internet’s No.1 Fat Loss Coach, Tom Venuto perhaps now is the time to post some training pics!

Ok here we go…

Lower Body Training With Tom Venuto

Thank You Tom Venuto

I also want to say an official massive thank you to Tom Venuto for giving me the green light on Mission 4 and ECSS 2008, for allowing me stay at his place, for allowing me to train with him one-on-one for 6 workouts, for being an absolute champion host and for being an awesome mentor for me (and hundreds of thousands of fitness enthusiasts all over the world).

Thank you Tom, this is an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Sincerely,
Adam

Tom and Adam: Live From Times Square, NYC

Amidst all this M4 Training Day II “pain” and intensity there is another picture I will show you that was taken later on Day 505 at Times Square in New York City. Tom Venuto treated me to a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a show on Broadway and dinner in NYC!

My Toughest Quiz Yet!

This image is extremely symbolic and paradoxically related to M4 Training Day II. I’ll post more pics from NYC (and maybe a video) tomorrow but first I will pose a question for my Fellow Shredders:

Question: How is this image above paradoxically related to the training pics? 

Question: What is the common thread that binds these images together?

Just leave a comment to this post if you’d like to take a crack at the answers.

P.S. Below is Day 505: M4 Training Day II – March 27, 2007
P.S.S. On M4 Training Day II I wore my trusty black shorts that have been with me for over 8 years. They have been a first-hand witness to my shrinking (and expanding!) waistline over the whole time.

So, today is a special edition of the RTP Time Machine to pay tribute to my black shorts. I wonder how they’ll fit 8 years from now!

G’day Shredders,

As I mentioned back on Day 495: M4 Shred – 84 Day Report Card there is a 3rd “event” that will take place during my time in New York City.

However, since it has been such a madhouse around here I am only now getting up the NYC Stealth Mission Goal Graphic!

The NYC Stealth Mission is a 10-Day Post M4 Accountability Shred where I will “reveal” my professional photo shoot pictures on April 1, 2008. The most intense training sessions of my life have taken place since Day 500!

The parameters and the reason why I am doing this is contained in the graphic below.

Cheers,
AJ

P.S. It has also been 8 years since I had pro pics done!

G’day Shredders,

As I hinted at on Day 504: Clear & Present Danger, my leg training session with Tom Venuto on Day 505 was a real-world, real-time education in real intensity.

Before I show you the video featuring the world famous QUAD BLASTER invented by Carlos Dejesus, I’ll take you back in time to Day 356: RTP Group Shred – 1 week Down! on November 1, 2007 and share with you a snippet of an email Tom sent me that afternoon.

Day 356: Declassified Email From Tom Venuto:

adam

I will get back to your last mail
shortly

but had to show you what you’re in for

hahahahahahahahahaha

Day 400: Quad Destruction Imminent!

As you can see this Quad Blasting Destruction with Tom Venuto’s “toy” at Strong & Shapely Gym in New Jersey was a long time coming and something I used to motivate myself throughout the entirety of M4 when I was training legs.

N.B. I actually referred to the Quad Blaster back on Day 400: M4 & ShredderSphere Kicks Into High Gear and the impending quad destruction I would face on M4 Training Day.

Ok, enough of the buildup! Here is the video below.

P.S. Day 505: M4 Training Day II declassified pictures coming soon. Believe it or not The QUAD BLASTER was just the beginning of the 60-minute Quad Annihilation!

G’day Shredders,

Another massive day over here in NYC!

In fact, things have been so massive that I am now 2 days behind in posting to this blog. I promise to do my absolute best over the next couple of days to get back to real-time!

Day 503 AM: ECSS Aftermath

As you know from yesterday’s post Day 502: New York Four Reaches The Summit the first ever Shredder Summit was a raging success far beyond what I and the New York Four could have envisioned back in December 2007 when we first tentatively discussed this ECSS Event.

Why ECSS Was A Raging Success

I firmly believe the reason why it was such a success was because we all “knew” each other so well beforehand through our blogs and comments to each other. When you have an “intense shared experience” over 150 days it does pierce through the normal apprehension one usually feels when “meeting” new people online.

The New York Four’s Shared Experience

When The New York Four and I finally met in person for the first time at a sushi restaurant in New Jersey it felt so natural because we already knew so much about each other and our own personal journeys.

We talked for hours that night reflecting on our journeys to the Summit and the coolest thing was that our Fellow Shredders could also recall the turning points and milestone event for each Shredder within the blink of an eye!

In The Presence Of Greatness You Are Forced To Lift Your Game!

Of course, the presence of the Man Himself at ECSS 2008, Tom Venuto was not only the single biggest accountability driver for all of us, it was also metaphorical equivalent of reaching the Physique Transformation Summit as Tom is hands down the Internet’s No.1 Super Shredder!

This whole experience has been very cool and I firmly believe that we have collectively cemented friendships that will now last a lifetime.

First Official ECSS Video Goes Live!

The New York Four Shredders – Suzette, Joni, Debbie and Lilla – are still deliberating about what video footage will be made available in the coming days and weeks.

However, if you are hanging out to watch some video right now Joni has gone “live” with our ECSS 2008 Pushup Challenge Video. This video features Joni and yours truly in a friendly (but fierce!) battle to be crowned ECSS 2008 Pushup Challenge Champion!

Check out the video below and then go to Joni’s Real Time Blog to vote on who you think the winner was! Joni will be holding the vote for only 72 hours so you better hurry over there!

New York Four Pics With The Super Shredder!

Also be sure to go to each of the New York Four’s Blogs – Suzette’s QFS Blog, Joni’s Nana Korobi Ya Oki Blog, Debbie’s Can We Talk Blog and Lilla’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Blog – to check out their ECSS Judgment Day Pictures with the Man Himself, Tom Venuto!

Jeff McBride Has Done It Again!

My online buddy Jeff who I met Disney World in Florida for a Late Night Shred has once again blown me away with an extremely powerful post in the comments section to Day 502! I am humbled by your words Jeff and there is not much I can say to do your eloquent writing justice
except to say that you are a great mate and thank you so much for your positive vibes.

Here are Jeff’s words of inspiration:

Wow, that light beaming from you in that photo with Tom says it all.
It’s more than setting a ridiculously high goal and reaching it.
It’s more than fulfilling a dream of working out with your mentor.
It’s more than inspiring people to dream big and do big: people you never met, from countries all around the world.
It’s more than the real friendship we all feel toward you.
It’s even more than the physical, mental and spiritual transformations we are realizing.
It’s what you do with that light that feeds our souls.
You take that big bright shining light and send it right back.
Right back to your shredders, right back to all of us.
Right back as bright as you can make it.
If you could reach out and put that feeling right into us, you would do it.
It’s your natural state, the way you are.
And that’s a big reason we know we can do it, it’s a big reason we want to.

Shine on my brother,
Jeff McAdamfan

Christina Goes Live With RSS!

I also want to say it is great to hear from you Chistina, and it is awesome that you now have an RSS Feed coming from your blog. I apologize for my lack of comments on your awesome blog as RSS is the only way I can stay in tune with what is happening in the ShredderSphere.

I look forward to interacting with you much more in the future and my advice for my Fellow Shredders is to enable RSS feeds from your blogs because that is the most common way your blogs will be read across the ShredderSphere: Real Time Physique Tranformation Bloggers.

P.S. Below are Day 503 RTP Blog Daily Pictures for March 25, 2008 taken at the Mecca of East Coast Bodybuilding, Strong & Shapely Gym in East Rutherford, NJ.

Day 137: Six-Pack Vote Verdict!

G’day Shredders,

The East Coast Shredder Summit (ECSS) featuring The New York Four took place today at Shredder Central, the sacred training location of the Super Shredder himself, that’s right Tom Venuto’s home gym in New Jersey!

A New Chapter In Shredder Folklore Has Been Inscribed Today

Due to the enormity of this event, this day, March 24, 2008, is hereby inscribed in Shredder Folklore.

On this day The New York Four (Suzette, Joni, Debbie and Lilla) collectively experienced a real-time manifestation of something much larger than they could have foreseen when they took massive action 150 days ago on the Original 14-Day Group Shred.

It All Started On October 26, 2007

The NY4 have scaled the physique transformation equivalent of Mount Everest. They started their journeys on Day 352: Let The Shredding Begin (Day 1 of Group Shred) purely on faith. At that time there were no plans or promises beyond the initial 14-Day Group Shred.

Once the 14-Day Group Shred reached its conclusion on November 8, 2007 the Shredders showed vision and foresight by deciding that journey would continue for another 70 days until we collectively hit 12 weeks of real-time physique transforming.

Shredder Council Induction

The Shredders who successfully completed the Group Shred Weekly Accountability Phase were then inducted into the Shredder Council (Member Profiles), of which the New York Four were all founding members. The Shredder Council continued to lead by example by practicing what they preached through daily blog & picture accountability and supporting their Fellow Shredders inside the ShredderSphere.

The Council Convenes

Once details of Mission 4: Date With Destiny with Tom Venuto in New York were declassified, The Shredder Council convened and promptly decided to take up the granddaddy of all challenges, i.e. make a full-blooded physique transformation documented in real-time in full view of many thousands of people by Judgment Day March 24, 2008.

East Coast Shredder Summit Goes Live


This event soon became known as the East Coast Shredder Summit (ECSS 2008) which officially went live on February 23, 2008.

The four Shredders who decided to take up the challenge (Suzette, Joni, Debbie and Lilla) became well-known across the ShredderSphere (Real-Time Physqiue Transformation Bloggers) as The New York Four once we went “live” with the ECSS 2008 Final Countdown Video.

NY4 Institute A Massive Dose Of “Positive Pressure”

The NY4 then decided up the stakes even higher by posting their “30 Days Out” pictures with a giant question mark on Judgment Day. The New York Four held no fear by employing this advanced Shredder Reveal Tactic as their confidence in their own ability had risen to such an extreme level.

The Real-Time Journey Spanned 150 Days

In totality, The NY4 spent 150 days traversing the treacherous peaks and valleys of internal and external obstacles that h
ave nullified many physique transformation mountaineers who have come before them.

Through eating clean, shredding hard and thinking big The NY4 reached the East Coast Shredder Summit and in doing so they conquered the Physique Transformation Everest – the metaphorical battle fought in our own minds.

NY4 Are Now Role Models

Let it be said, The New York Four are now role models to a whole new generation of Real-Time Physique Transformation Bloggers because of what they have accomplished in such a short period of time. Their deeds have been forever inscribed into Shredder Folklore.

Council Is Now Deliberating On ECSS Document Status

While the Council deliberates on exactly which documents, images and video footage may be declassified in the future much of what transpired during the Summit will remain confidential – including the “Closed Door” Shredder Council Meeting at an undisclosed location in New Jersey.

Declassified ECSS 2008 Image Release

However, in the time being, the New York Four have consented to have this image be made available to Shredder World in the hopes that it will inspire their Fellow Shredders to take massive action on their physique transformation goals and dreams.

Now is the time pay homage to The New York Four by visiting their own blogs and reading their real-time accounts of ECSS 2008 and their personal journeys. The best way you can show your appreciation the Famous New York Four is to leave a heartfelt comment on their blog.

Suzette: Excerpt From ECSS 2008

Wow!! What a day it has been!!! I have not formulated all my thoughts yet. there was so much talk happening that I need to absorb it all, plus the fact it is late and am too tired to really think…Let’s just say this was an experience I will not soon forget. I tried to etch every moment into my mind.

Joni: Excerpt From ECSS 2008

I have more to talk about later on today, but I wanted to start off by saying a HUGE HUGE THANKS to TOM VENUTO, author of BFFM and creator of the Burn the Fat Inner Circle, and to ADAM WATERS (shown here in his Men’s Fitness debut), creator of Real Time Physique. It was such an honor and privilege to work out with you both and it means so much to me personally that you took the time to mentor all of the NY4 and continue to motivate us to reach every goal we have for ourselves.

Debbie: Excerpt From ECSS 2008

What a weekend shredders! It was fantastic meeting Adam, Joni, Lilla, Suzette, and Tom in person. It’s an event I can say I have No Regrets over. I’m grateful to have had this unique opportunity.

Tom worked us hard in the gym and was able to join us for lunch afterwards where we quizzed him about anything & everything. Just a few of the things we spoke about were nutrition, supplements, training, and emotional/mindless eating.

Lilla: Excerpt From ECSS 2008

This day will go down in immortal Shredder history! Five people from around the globe flew in to meet one another and to train with the one and only Tom Venuto. This has been one of the most surreal days of my life!

The day began at 10am at an undisclosed location in Hoboken. After an introduction and debriefing with Tom Venuto, author of Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, we hit the weight room.

Cheers,
AJ

P.S. Still to come, details of The NYC Stealth Mission: Photo Shoot will be revealed soon.
