=====================================================
G’day Shredders,
Welcome to Day 5 of RTP Group Shred 2.0!
Happy Halloween to all my fellow Shredders! As you can see from today’s pic I became an aging rocker for nephew’s birthday/Halloween party!
A Very Important Topic
For today’s video topic I discuss a very important component of physique transformation, nutrition. Many experts will tell you that your nutrition comprises up to 80% of your results.
While my philosophy is a little different (I believe there is an interdependent relationship between nutrition, training and mindset) there is no doubt that if you don’t eat clean consistently you won’t get “fast” results.
For many people, one of the big challenges of maintaining their “clean” nutrition plan is when they attend parties, events (Halloween, Christmas, etc) during the holiday season and feel the “social pressure” of “fitting in” and succumbing to temptation.
How To Avoid Holiday Season Over-Indulgence
My advice in these situations is two-fold, if possible prepare ahead of time and re-arrange your schedule to have your “reward meal” on the day of the party and always keep your PRW (Powerful Reason Why) at the forefront of your mind while you are at the party to keep you “in line”.
If you have any suggestions regarding how to avoid overindulgence throughout the holiday period please feel free to leave your comments below. In the meantime watch the video from Group Shred 1.0 for Day 5 for all my best “eating clean” info!
Congratulations Danny!
Before I sign off today I’d like to send a massive congratulations to Danny from Physique Improvement Blog who passed his PAST test with flying colors. Great work Danny, your shredding has really paid off mate!
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.

=====================================================
G’day Shredders,
Welcome to Day 3 of the RTP Group Shred 2.0, it is awesome to see so many Shredders re-invigortaed and excited about the Shred! Let’s consolidate our hard work over the first 2 days (don’t wanna let that go to waste!) and continue to focus on the single daily actions that produce results.
Once you formulate the optimal plan for you (not the “perfect plan” as no such plan exists) and follow through with consistency on a daily basis your success is inevitable. Trust me, sometimes this game is only as difficult as we make it.
Once you train your mind to expect success (taking daily pictures and expecting improvement is massive for this!) you begin to turn that “momentum snowball” into an avalanche of self-fulling physique transformation prophecy!
Here’s the kicker, in order to program your mind to believe success is inevitable you must “do” those single daily actions that produce results. This in turn “convinces your mind” that you are “for real” and you begin to manifest your dream body (and life) on a daily basis.
The bottom line is that your mind and body must be in congruence to make a full-blooded physique transformation. Just like Morpheus says in the Matrix, “The body can’t live without the mind.”
N.B. Long-time Shredder, Jay: Return To Form is also joining us for RTP Group Shred 2.0 as he put in his request on Day 1 and promptly uploaded his Day 1 post. Shred hard Jay!
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.

On only 24 hours notice all 17 participating Shredders are batting at 100% in Group Shred 2.0 after Day 1! It is awesome to see so many of my fellow Shredders on board and firing on all cylinders!
Today (Day 2) is a day of consolidation, it is extremely important psychologically to back up your Day 1 efforts with another strong day in order to start ”snowballing” your self-belief. Wtach the video below to learn more about “Day 2 Mindset.”
N.B. Long-time Shredder, Shari from Fit at Fifty Blog will be joining us for RTP Group Shred 2.0! As Shari was away for the weekend and this Group Shred was kicked off on 24 hours notice I believe Shari deserves a place in this Shred. Shred hard Shari!
N.B. Unfortunately I am still having issues uploading the raw video files from my video camera onto my “long in the tooth” laptop (my main computer is still on it’s way from Japan!). However, I may have a solution figured out that will enable me to upload daily videos for Group Shred 2.0. I will test this theory today…stay tuned!

Hi Diane, my start date is Mon Oct 27 as that will be 2 weeks out from my deadline. You may be onto something here…I’ll give it some serious thought today and act quickly!
I’m up for a 2-week “double shred whatever it takes challenge!”
Comment by Suzette on October 25, 2008 3:10 pm
i need a “double shred whatever it takes challenge”(group shred 2.0) to get me back into the game. have been on a “time-out” for a few weeks!
RTP Group Shred 2.0 Objective
The primary objective with RTP Group Shred 2.0 is for current members of the Shredder Council, ShredderSphere and Shredder Blog Roll to kick-start/re-ignite their physique transformation missions with a massive injection of “positive pressure” by using the power of daily accountability pictures on their blogs for the next 14 days.
The way this accountability will be achieved is via prominent placement of your blog link in every day’s RTP Blog Post over the next 14 days. With over 1,000 unique visitors to RTP Blog on a daily basis the “positive pressure” is real and the stakes are high! Will you rise to the challenge? The choice is yours!
Important Notice For Current Members Of The ShredderSphere/Shredder Blog Roll:
Shredders who currently have inactive blogs (more than 30 days) who do not participate in this RTP Group Shred 2.0 Challenge will be sending a message that they no longer wish to maintain their place in the ShredderSphere or Shredder Blog Roll.
This may seem “strict”, however if you fall into this category this is your chance to take massive action and get back to “real time” on your physique transformation mission.
How To Register Your Participation In RTP Group Shred 2.0 14-Day Challenge
I realize that this is short notice…however, it is in these moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. The cool thing is that the registration process for RTP Group Shred 2.0 is simple.
Leave a comment in today’s blog post confirming your commitment to shred hard with daily pictures on your blog for the 14 days from Monday October 27, 2008 to Sunday November 9, 2008 by this deadline: 10:00PM Australian EST Monday October 27, 2008 (8:00 AM Monday October 27, 2008 USA Eastern Time).
Winners Finish, Finishers Win!
This is NOT a contest between you or your fellow “Shredders”.
This contest is personal…you know what I mean?
RTP Group Shred 2.0 Completion Prize No.1: RTP Store Access!
If you decide to take up the 14-Day RTP Group Shred 2.0 Challenge and follow through every single day I have a special gift for you.
You will receive access to a “private version” of www.RTP-Store.com where you can buy anything you want…at cost price for the whole 24 hours on November 10, 2008.

The second prize for those who complete the full 14 days of daily picture accountability on their blogs is an advance preview of something I have been working on for a long time. You will gain priority access to this “mystery prize” on November 10, 2008.

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.
- Alex: Natural For Life Blog
- Juan: Lean For Life Blog
- Danny: Physique Improvement Blog
- Mark: Journey To 185 Blog
- Larry: Journey of Body Recomposition
- Ron: My Transformation Blog

Today was a great day…my first full day back into “hard training” after my unscheduled layoff. I hit my chest, back, biceps and calves with the full force of the RTP Circuit Training program I have been following since Week 9.
Surprisingly, my weights, reps and rest periods for this particular routine did not slide backwards due to my layoff. In fact, I actually upped the weight on Barbell Bench Press and Bicep Dumbbell Curls!
I guess this just goes to show the importance of listening to your body, and not being afraid to take time off from hard training when you are not feeling well.
I have learned from past experience that continually drilling yourself in the gym when you are not operating at (or near) full strength will usually backfire and result in an extended layoff (and reduced strength when you do eventually return.)
Until tomorrow…
Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!

Day 713: Back In Action!
Posted by: | CommentsG’day Shredders,
After a 2-Day rest from hard training (and blogging) due to a bout with a mild flu I am now back to full strength. While I prefer not to take days off (from shredding or blogging) I felt it was necessary this time around in order to re-charge my batteries and prevent a full-blown case of the flu that would have sidelined me for much longer.
The obvious downside to my unscheduled rest time is the backwards progression of my physique over the last 5 days (since my last full-blown training session). It really is amazing how quickly the slide backwards can be when you go off your training plan for a relatively short period of time. However, I have been in similar situations before and I know exactly what it takes to turn it around, in the shortest time possible.
On the plus side I have made two decisions during this “contemplation period”:
1) Re-double my efforts and leave no stone unturned over the next 3 weeks as I zero in on the 2-Year anniversary of this real-time blog.
2) Continue real time accountability after I finish this Mission until I reach my goal of sub 5% body fat, i.e. unlike previous Missions I will not take my foot off the gas pedal once I complete the designated deadline for this Mission.
Before I sign off I’d like to thank Mike, Juli, Debbie and Bob for checking up on me in my absence. Thank you very much, your support means a lot to me.
Until tomorrow…
Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!
