G’day Shredders,

What a way to bring in Day 600!

Yesterday I hit 2,500,000 views on my YouTube Channel. Below is a screen capture of my account as at June 30, 2008. You can watch these videos on my blog at my Movie Page.

 

Before I sign off today I’ll leave you with something I wrote on Day 100.

Life really is a journey…I realize now that there is no destination. There will never be a point where I stop because the moment I do, I will stagnate and go backwards.

Trust me, I have learnt my lesson, I will NEVER Go Back!

Onwards to Day 200!

Cheers,

AJ

How To Join The ShredderSphere

G’day Shredders,

In yesterday’s Day 598: Light At The End Of The Tunnel Post my Fellow Shredder Lilla: Self Fulfilling Prophecy Blog picked up on another bit of Aussie slang (and gave an excellent definition of how it is used!)

Fair Dinkum! 

Since the majority of visitors to this blog are not from Oz I thought today would be a good time to explain the Aussie slang word I most often use, and have the first Aussie RTP Quiz!

Fair Dinkum: real, genuine, true. To proclaim a fact or truth in a statement in such a manner. For example, “At the age of 32 I felt that this was my last shot at a fair dinkum physique transformation” 

Aussie RTP Quiz

Below are a few other Aussie slang words that are sometimes used. 

Ankle Biter:

Bonza:

Bush Telegraph:

Chinwag:

Hard Yakka:

Laughing Gear:

Rip Snorter:

If you’d like to take a crack at what these words mean just leave a comment to this post! Answers will be revealed on tomorrow’s edition of Shredder Sunday. 

Cheers,

AJ

G’day Shredders,

I spent the whole of today (minus my workout) bunkered down in the RTP Nerve Center working on my upcoming 7-Step Physique Transformation System.

While there is much work left to be done to finish it by my self-imposed deadline the good news is that I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! Stay tuned…

Today I’ll leave you with another Time Machine Video from 100 days ago (my first full day in San Francisco).

Description: Live video from SF! I checked out Alcratraz, Golden Gate, Tiberon, Twin Peaks and finished up the day at the world’s first RTP Approved restaurant (You gotta see this!).

Now only 3 days out from M4 Training Day with Tom Venuto and ECSS 2008 with The New York Four starring Suzette, Joni, Debbie and Lilla!

I’ll be leaving SF tomorrow in the morning and hitting NYC late arvo, it really is the calm before the storm…

Cheers,

AJ

G’day Shredders,

On this day 100 days ago my heart was beating fast…

That’s right! I had just landed in San Francisco and was only four days out from the most brutal workout of my life, M4 Training Day in New Jersey with the Super Shredder himself, Tom Venuto! And 6 days out from ECSS 2008 (East Coast Shredder Summit) with The New York Four, Suzette, Joni, Debbie and Lilla!

Over the next few days I’ll be discussing my “M4″ experience in greater detail as it relates to “pressure and time”, and what I learned from this amazing experience. For more on this topic go to Day 594: Time blog post.

In the meantime, below is a video I recorded live from on SF on Day 496.

G’day Shredders,

Another day, another 16 hours spent putting the final touches on my upcoming RTP Transformation System!

N.B. My primary objective in building and codifying this transformation system is to give current (and potential) Shredders the specific mindset, accountability, training and nutrition tools I have personally used over the last 595 days in an easy to follow step-by-step system.

Pressure And Time

While this project was originally conceived over a year ago it is the pressure of time (self-imposed deadline for completion fast approaching!) that is now forcing me to knuckle down and finish the job. Isn’t it amazing how that works?

Thank You

Whilst I’m on the topic of time I’d like to thank my Fellow Shredders for your comments to yesterday’s Day 594: Time post. I believe we have only scratched the surface on how powerful this component is in a full-blooded physique (and life) transformation. This is definitely a topic I’ll explore further in the near future.

Cheers,

AJ

G’day Shredders,

One year ago today on Day 228: Real Time Accountability Explained I first discussed this method of real time accountability (RTA) that you see below.

It is amazing to see how such a simple idea spawned such great results for me over Mission 4. If it wasn’t for the “positive pressure” of reporting back my complaince level every day over the 84-Day M4 Shred I doubt whether I would have achieved the results I did.

Time Is The Ultimate Equalizer

However, the thing that really stands out to me from this post (apart from the topic itself) is just how quickly time passes! It is amazing to me that one year has passed already since the “dark days” of Mission 3 when I contemplated wiping this blog off the Net. 

I guess time really is the ultimate equalizer. We all get the same 24 hours each day and it is up to each of us as individuals to decide how we invest our time. We can decide to take massive action on our goals or we can decide to wait until all the conditions are “perfect” before taking that first step.

Our Day Will Come

The brutal truth is that time marches on regardless of what we do (or don’t do). We all only have a certain amount of time on this planet until our number is called. That day may come tomorrow or 50 years from now. 

This feeling of uncertainty about how much time I have left is a strong motivating force for me. I harnessed this feeling a lot during the back end of Mission 1 after a particular event happened on Day 63: Live Every Day As If It Were Your Last. On this day I signed off with the following:

 

A few days ago my close Japanese friend informed me that one of her co-workers was found murdered at his workplace.

This story has been all over the local news here in Japan. He was killed by another co-worker in the heat of the moment. It was a petty dispute that blew out of all proportion and ended in a stabbing death.

Need I say anymore? You just never know when your time will come. RIGHT NOW you can make a choice. Would you rather live every day joyfully and energetically as if it were your last? Or would you rather die old in your rocking chair full of regret about what might have been?

 

How about you? Does this feeling of uncertainty drive you to live every day as if it were your last?

Cheers,

AJ

A Quick Note

Before I sign off today I’d like to apologize for not being an active commenter on Shredder Blogs recently. At the moment I am spending every waking hour (minus working out) putting the final touches on my soon-to-be released RTP Transformation System.

This project has been over 1 year in the making and the perfectionist in me requires that I get it 100% right before release. Once I have this project wrapped up I will be back in action on the ShredderSphere like I used to. 

Cheers,

Adam

G’day Shredders,

Welcome to a special PRW edition of Shredder Sunday!

This week’s episode is dedicated to the Shredders who posted their PRW’s on their blog yesterday in response to Debbie’s PRW Callout last Thursday.  

Thank you Debbie for starting World PRW Day! We all appreciate your effort and idea in starting this PRW Callout and I’m sure many Shredders have been re-invigorated from this process.

How To Join The ShredderSphere

G’day Shredders,

The first annual World PRW Day is now live!

N.B. For more information about what a PRW is and how this day came to be in existence please go to yesterday’s Day 590: Redemption As Your PRW post

Three PRW Shredders Already!

Even though the day is still young we already have 3 Shredders who have posted their PRW’s on their blogs!

Check out Debbie’s Can We Talk Blog (World PRW Day founder!), Christina’s My Modal Life Blog and Diane’s 1-2-3 Fat Loss Solution Blog for their PRW’s. After reading through their PRW lists I am blown away as I’m sure you will be too!

PRW Shredder Update

Check out Lilla’s Self-Fulfilling Prophecy Blog and Lynda’s 130 On My Way Blog for their awesome PRW lists.

My Mission 5 PRW’s 

Redemption: Go back to South Beach, Miami (Day 572: M5 Goes Live! for Day 1 of Mission 5: South Beach) in the best physical condition of my life by implementing the newly designed RTP Transformation System and cap off 732 days (2 years!) of daily blogging and daily pictures on a high note.

Accountability: Continue to practice what I preach by achieving a minimum of 98% compliance to daily accountability (and my training/nutrition program) for the 160-Day duration of Mission 5.

Credibility: Establish credibility for the RTP Transformation System by making a full-blooded physique transformation on this 7-Step Program.

Action: Inspire people who are “sitting on the fence” about undertaking a physique transformation that results can be achieved quickly and safely by taking massive and immediate action.

Dreams: Live the fitness lifestyle on a permanent basis, find peace and happiness inside myself and be a role model for my family, friends and Fellow Shredders.

Cheers,

Adam
