Day 690: Shredder Sunday #33, Back Down Under!

By

G’day Shredders,

Welcome to Shredder Sunday #33…live from Australia!

Fair dinkum…I am a dinky di Aussie again!

That’s right, after 8 years of living abroad I am now back in Oz…and it feels awesome.

Even though I have been back to Oz many times before this time it really does feel different. In fact, I think I am feeling a little “reverse culture shock” as there is so much wide open, green space here compared to Japan.

The last couple of days have been off the Richter busy catching up with my family and organizing my new life. I am also pleased to report that I have gotten in every planned training session since I got back. 

I am now jumping out of my skin to hit the “shred button” over the next 42 days and bring home the bacon (sub 5% bodyfat) for Mission 5: South Beach To Surfers Judgment Day (the 2-year anniversary of RTP Blog!)

Stay tuned…

Today I’d like to welcome A Day In The Life Of… to the Shredder Blog Roll: 30 Day Challenge.

N.B. Please read below for tips and requirements on being submitted to the Shredder Blog Roll/ShredderSphere.

 

Shredder Pact:

We will focus on the single daily actions that produce results,

We will burn our bridges and not look back,

We will never surrender.

How To Join The ShredderSphere/Shredder Blog Roll

Step 1) For more details on how you can start your own Real Time Accountability Blog and join the Shredder Blog Roll (to be eligible for inclusion in the ShredderSphere after 30 days of consecutive blogging & shredding) go to www.RTP-VIP.com and sign up for the RTP VIP Newsletter and free report.

Step 2) Once you sign up you will receive access to an online form (after 5 days) to submit your own real time accountability blog for inclusion into the Shredder Blog Roll.

Step 3) Your new real time accountability blog will be published on RTP Blog and included in the Shredder Blog Roll links the following Shredder Sunday.

There is no monetary outlay to join RTP VIP, The Shredder Blog Roll or The ShredderSphere (if you make it in!) BUT to be successful you must have a Powerful Reason Why (PRW) coupled with a real-world Physique Transformation Knowledge Base.

With this in mind you will also receive a Free Downloadable PDF Report titled My Biggest Secret which will help you discover your PRW along with free videos and specifics on the three Physique Transformation eBooks I personally used over Mission 1.

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

 

My Biggest Secret: Free PDF Report

Is it really possible to see results in only 28 days, create unstoppable momentum and blast through the fat loss barricade forever?

Is there really a “secret” I have kept to myself since November 8, 2006?

Is it also true that this “secret” has nothing to do with training, nutrition or supplementation?

The answer is yes…to every single question.

If so, then why have I kept this secret from you when I have virtually uploaded every other aspect of my life onto my blog since November 8, 2006?

In my Special Report, My Biggest Secret I will reveal for the first time the “secret” I have guarded since Day 1 of Mission 1 and how this secret enabled me to blast through the fat loss barricade forever.

Go To www.RTP-VIP.com to download this free report and implement this “secret” immediately.

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

ShredderSphere Admission & Accountability Cycles

With over 35 active bloggers in the Shredder Blog Roll, ShredderSphere and the Shredder Council I believe it is time to simplify the accountability structure for each level.

The accountability cycle for the Shredder Council and the ShredderSphere will now be calculated over each calendar month.

New admissions into the ShredderSphere and Shredder Council will take place on the first Shredder Sunday after each calendar month.

1) Shredder Blog Roll Admission:

Sign up for free at www.RTP-VIP.com and start your real time accountability blog.

2) ShredderSphere Admission:

Once you you have blogged for one calender month at a minimum accountability compliance rate of 80% in the Shredder Blog Roll you will gain admission into the ShredderSphere.

3) Shredder Council Admission:

Once you have completed a 100-day period of blogging (and hard-core shredding!) with a minimum daily picture accountability compliance rate of 95% you will be eligible for entry into the Shredder Council Online Boardroom.

Important: Each month you will see movement between The Shredder Council and The ShredderSphere. No person is “cut” from a level, rather each Shredder is in 100% control of their own destiny and completely free to decide at which level they would like to participate.

Shredder Tips & Requirements

ShredderSphere Tip:

Save Time With An RSS Reader

Use an RSS Reader to stay up to date with all the latest blog posts from your Fellow Shredders. This tip will save you a ton of time because you can read all blog posts and comments (and make comments) from within one stand-alone RSS Reader.

The RSS Reader I use and recommend is a free application called Net News Wire by News Gator. This company has RSS Readers for both Windows and Mac.

Once you have an RSS Reader, then it is a simple matter of subscribing to each individual RSS feed provided by each Shredder. For blogs hosted onBlogger you will find the RSS Feed link at the bottom of each home page by default (called “Posts Atom”).

Example: The RSS Feed for RTP Blog 2.0 is http://rtpblog2.wordpress.com/feed/

*If you have an RSS Reader you’d like to recommend just drop a comment in this post.

ShredderSphere Requirement:

Setting Up Your Own Shredder Blog Roll

One of the core philosophies of the ShredderSphere is to increase “positive pressure” via real time accountability. The “positive pressure” each Shredder feels (to get the job done) is usually in direct proportion to the amount of visitors they receive to their blogs.

In order to achieve this goal we need a traffic distribution network that gives every Shredder an equal opportunity to receive traffic (and give traffic).

The simplest way to achieve this is for each Shredder to set up their own Blog Roll, exactly the same as what I have in my sidebar, i.e. Shredder Council 2.0; ShredderSphere 1.0 and Shredder Blog Rolls.

If you are a new Shredder who has not done this yet I highly recommend you do as you will create a much tighter bond with your Fellow Shredders.

In order to be admitted to the ShredderSphere you must have your fellow Shredders linked in your own Blog Roll exactly the same as what I have in my sidebar, i.e. Shredder Council 2.0; ShredderSphere 1.0 and Shredder Blog Rolls.

Examples Of Shredders With Correct Blog Roll Links

Below are examples of new Shredders who have set up their Shredder Blog Rolls correctly and will be eligible for ShredderSphere admission.

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!

Cheers,

Adam Waters, NESTA-CPT

    Lucky you to be back in Oz, mate :) And I can understand the culture shock – I get it as well when I go back home. I bet it’ll take a couple weeks for you to adjust.

  • http://MyModalLife Chrisitna

    Hi Adam,

    Returning home is going to be such a surreal event – i recall my return to Maryland after 8 years of living abroad and in other states while in the Air Force.

    I wish you the best during your anticipated ‘homecoming’.

    Christina~ :)
