I Don't Have Time To Be A Good Dad

by Matt Marshall on December 21, 2011

Lately, I've been getting quite a few emails from people explaining the
reason they don't work out is a lack of time.

I get it. My schedule doesn't have any blank spots either.

But I ALWAYS make time to work out. Here's why:

A few years back, someone asked billionaire mogul Richard Branson how
to be more productive. Branson answered "work out" and explained that
exercising actually gave him 4 EXTRA hours of productivity each day.

He wasn't the only successful person to make such a statement. Abraham
Lincoln once said, "If given 6 hours to chop down a tree, I'll spend
the first 4 hours sharpening the axe."

Working out is like sharpening the axe. Spending an hour in the gym
makes you a better and more productive person during the other 23 hours
of the day.

Proper training makes you leaner, healthier and stronger. Which in turn
makes you a better dad, a better employee, a better husband and a
better human being.

Your mind and body function together as one unit. And while you can
certainly complete basic mental tasks even if your body is in poor
health, to truly optimize your potential both your mind AND your body
must be sharp.

So if you say you don't have time to work out, what you're REALLY
saying is you don't have time to be a better dad, a better employee, a
better husband or a better human being.

It doesn't take much. You've got 168 hours in a week. And you can see
great results by training just 2-3 hours a week. 3 hours out of 168 is
just 1.78% of your time each week. But if you'll take 1.78% of your
time to "sharpen the axe" you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish
with the remaining 98.22% of your time.

Formerly Foribben Food Actually Lowers Cholesterol?

by Matt Marshall on December 19, 2011

Most doctors still believe that squats are bad for you knees, whole
grains make you healthy and eating red meat is bad for your cholesterol
levels.

Well, maybe the last point will finally change.

A new research study shows that participants who ate beef every day
actually LOWERED their bad cholesterol.

Sounds crazy, right?

Well, it wasn't crazy for the old-time lifters. They ate high-fat diets
(including plenty of beef)and THRIVED.

There's actually quite a bit of "old-time wisdom" that most people
would find rather controversial. Yet those that know about these
old-time secrets usually possess lean, muscular physiques and a clean
bill of health to boot.

So if you've haven't gotten on board with the "classic" lifestyle,
maybe it's time to start.

My Prediction For YOU in 2012

by Matt Marshall on December 14, 2011

I have a crystal ball.

And thanks to my magic crystal ball, I can tell whether you'll make
amazing progress in 2012... or whether you'll end up wasting the year.

I don't know you personally. I don't know if you're reading this in the
morning, at lunch or at night. I don't know your goals, your injuries
or your personal information.

But I can accurately PREDICT what's going to happen in 2012 for you.

And it's all based on your answer to the following question:

Will you compete?

You see, something amazing happens you sign up (and pay up) to compete.
For one, you've now got a deadline. You know without a shadow of a
doubt that you've got to be ready to go on a certain date and a certain
time. Deadlines make goals happen.

You've also now got a purpose. A clearly defined goal. This will
prevent you from attempting to accomplish too many things at once. For
example, if you are scheduled to compete in a powerlifting competition
in the 168-pound weight class and you currently weigh 185 pounds, well
then you know you need to lose weight and you won't be tempted to
switch gears and try to gain weight until after you've accomplished
your first goal.

Finally, competing helps you accomplish goals faster. For some reason,
competing seems to compress the amount of time it takes to accomplish a
goal. It makes your training (both before AND after) the competition
more effective. A few years back I competed in my first powerlifting
meet. I made a ton of progress before the meet. But oddly enough I made
even more progress in the months AFTER the meet.

It doesn't matter what you compete in. Just compete. Sign up for
something: a powerlifting meet, an olympic lifting meet, a bodybuilding
contest, an MMA fight, a 5k, an arm-wrestling contest. It doesn't
matter. Pick SOMETHING, sign up and compete.

You'll thank me.

A Weird "Hack" For Ripped Abs

by Matt Marshall on December 12, 2011

This is a weird tip.

But if you really want to get in top shape, I think you should "work
out" every single day.

That's right -- no days off.

Have I lost my mind? Well... maybe. I'll let you be the judge but first
let me explain.

I am NOT suggesting you do heavy squats 7 days a week. Nothing like
that.

But I AM suggesting you find a way to do SOMETHING every single day.

Some days, I do real workouts. You know, lifting weights, bodyweight
exercise, sprints, etc.

Other days, I do some really simple stuff. Maybe a couple ab wheel
roll-outs. Maybe some stretches. Or maybe just going for a nice walk.

Now I could do all that stuff on the same day. I would lift weights,
finished up with ab wheel roll outs and sprints, stretch and then go
for a walk.

Then I could take the next day "off" and do absolutely nothing.

But I've discovered when I have a complete "rest day" I end up eating
junk food even though I know I shouldn't. But when I have a plan to do
something -- even if it's just a couple light stretches... I make
better food choices.

If you think about it, we're not really designed for complete rest
days. Our ancient ancestors wouldn't have sat on their butts for 24
hours straight waiting for the next "work out."

So it doesn't make much sense for us to do that either.

If you know what kind of foods you should be eating... but you're
having a problem putting the plan into action, try scheduling some kind
of activity (a workout, stretching, a couple simple body weight
movements, or even a walk) every single day. I bet you'll naturally end
up eating better and naturally end up with a better body.

Start NOW.

by Matt Marshall on December 9, 2011

This is a dangerous time. It's Friday, December 9th.

There is a LOT of time between this moment and January 2nd. You could
make huge strength gains, strip off gobs of body fat, add slabs of
muscle... or you could do nothing.

Most people will do nothing. Most people will actually backslide
between now and January 2nd.

Apparently there's an unwritten rule that says "no one should make any
progress in December."

Screw that. Why wait until January 2nd?

Why wait until tomorrow?

THERE IS NO TOMORROW!
There Is No Tomorrow

There is only right now.

22 Pounds of Muscle. 6 Weeks. 2 Exercises.

by Matt Marshall on December 7, 2011

ScreenHunter_02 Dec. 06 13.01-

In the 1940's, a revolutionary muscle-building system was created.
Here's a common mistake almost everyone makes:

When you're trying to gain lean muscle mass, you need to do fewer
exercises -- not more.

In fact, if you really want to pack on slabs of muscle mass fast, I
recommend a workout plan that uses just TWO exercises.

One man who understood this principle was Dr. DeLorme. As a child
growing up in the early 1900's, he was frail and sickly.

Doctors advised bed rest. DeLorme had other ideas. He picked up a
barbell. He studied... and lifted. Studied and lifted.

And he developed what just might be one of the most effective methods
for building lean muscle mass in a hurry.

One man gained a whopping 22 pounds of muscle in just 6 weeks using the
DeLorme method.

This method was created way back in 1945 -- and for years this simple
muscle-building strategy (using only two exercises) remained lost.

But it's been recently rediscovered. So if it's your goal to pack on 10
pounds of lean muscle mass (or more), then here's your next step.

Pick up this book. (It's endorsed by former Mr. America Larry Scott and
World Champion powerlifter John McKean.)

Follow the 6-week program listed on page 13. And start saving money for
bigger T-shirts.

Once again, here's the link:

The Delorme Mass Gain Program Is On Page 13.

The WORST Time of Day To Snack

by Matt Marshall on November 29, 2011

New research shows that dieters who opt for a snack between breakfast
and lunch end up losing less weight than those who skip the snack.

Seems pretty obvious to me. The mid-morning snack doesn't really fill
you up and it probably doesn't cause you to eat any less at lunch --
it's just mindless eating.

In my November Classic Physique newsletter, I reveal my 3 rules for
eating pretty much whatever you want -- as long as you follow some
simple timing guidelines.

This issue goes to print in a little over 24 hours. You get it FREE
when you get my book "How To Build A Classic Physique."

So make sure you grab the book today to receive the November Classic

A Better Body with One Simple Hack

by Matt Marshall on November 28, 2011

Believe it or not, there's an old business principle you can actually
use to get a better body -- more muscle, less fat -- without effort!

Let me show you:

Peter Drucker -- one of the foremost authorities on business management
once said, "What gets measured, gets managed."

In a nutshell, if you're actively watching and tracking your results --
even if you take no other actions -- your results seem to improve.

For example, if you're having money troubles, try this:

Every Friday, check your bank account balance and write down your
balance in a log book. Do this every week. What you'll find is that
your bank account balance will improve just by taking the simple
measure of checking and writing down your balance once a week. You
don't have to consciously try to save more or spend less. It will
happen automatically.

You can use this same hack to give yourself a better body without
killing yourself in the gym or eating like a bird.

Once a week, put on your bathing suit and take a picture. Weigh
yourself and measure your waist too. Then copy the photo, your weight
and your waist measurement on to a single document so that you can see
all progress from week to week at a glance.

You'll find yourself naturally eating better and having better workouts
without even trying. The simple act of "measuring" your progress every
week will automatically give you a better body.

Try it and prepare to be amazed.

Cardio Can Kill You

by Matt Marshall on November 21, 2011

Well, it happened again.

Two runners in the Philadelphia marathon collapsed and died of apparent
heart attacks. The first was a 40 year old man, the 2nd was just 21
years old.

This is a tragedy -- not only because two men lost their lives at a
relatively young age -- but also because this continues to happen over
and over again.

Yet next year, thousands of people will run marathons -- each believing
they are doing something positive for their health.

But are they?

In my opinion, no.

Exercise breaks down muscle tissues. When done in short bursts, the
body recovers and rebuilds. So you come back stronger than before. But
prolonged exercise (such as training and running marathons) doesn't
allow the body to properly recover and rebuild. And while this is only
my theory, I believe that's part of the reason why a few people seem to
die from heart attacks every year while running marathons.

Unfortunately, almost everyone still sees "long, slow distance running"
as an important part of physical fitness. Doctors still recommend
jogging for overweight patients and the army still forces recruits to
jog for miles on end.

And that's a shame. Because long-slow cardio doesn't do much for a
weight loss OR endurance. You can get much better results by sprinting
or taking part in many other "classic" conditioning activities. (See
page 161 in "How To Build A Classic Physique.")

Summary: At best, long-slow distance running is boring and ineffective.
At worst, it can kill you.

Chicken Or Beef?

by Matt Marshall on November 15, 2011

A few years back, I heard a competitive fighter remark...

"I don't eat chicken. You are what you eat -- so eating chicken makes
you scared.
I stick with beef. Beef makes you strong like a bull."

At the time, I laughed it off. But then I got to thinking...

No, I don't believe eating chicken will make you scared. However, if
you are a drug-free trainer there's a very good reason why you should
opt for beef over chicken.

Listen -- the juiced-up bodybuilders will tell you to eat skinless
chicken breasts, brown rice and egg whites. However, if you do that
you'll miss out on a lot of good, healthy fat. And if you are
drug-free, you NEED fat to produce optimal levels of testosterone and
other muscle-building hormones.

Juiced-up bodybuilders do NOT need much dietary fat because they are
INJECTING testosterone and other anabolic steroids.

But drug-free guys like you and me? We need dietary fat -- and lots of
it. So if given the option, pass on the chicken and load up on the
beef.

Oh -- there's another common food item that most juiced-up bodybuilders
will tell you to eat/drink after your workout. It works for them
because they take steroids. But if you are clean this common
bodybuilding postworkout drink myth will only make you fat.

It's revealed in the nutrition chapter of How To Build A Classic
Physique.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
