=====================================================
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!

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!

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!
