20 more handstanders

Yesterday's lunch at Guppy's near the beach. Had some grouper and sauteed spinach. Then after a Delmonico steak dinner, we went and watched The Equalizer (one of those hilariously over-the-top violent movie).It started with this quote worth sharing:"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." - Mark TwainToday's early AM humid south

Best workout for fat loss

While doctors and so-called "fitness experts" tell you to use the "fat-burning zone", the TRUTH is that using slow-go cardio like jogging or the elliptical machine is USELESS for fat loss. There is NO good cardio for fat loss. In the article at the link below you'll discover how short, at-home workouts are scientifically proven to give you SIX times faster fat-burning results than

701 reps plus deadlifts

It's almost time to hit the road again. I've been home for a week, after all, and I really miss the airport line-ups, security, and hanging out with strangers for a few hours in a long metal tube. ;)Tomorrow is my last day on the farm and then I'm off to Toronto. On Thursday I head to Tampa to visit my friend Joel Marion. We are working on a new secret project and I have some great new

4000 pushups and a day off

Enjoying a relaxing weekend out on the farm. Tomorrow will be an "off from everything" day, meaning no training, no internet, and no cell phone. Looking forward to it.Today I did a quality bodyweight training session, focusing on handstand pushups. On Monday I'll focus on burpees and pull-ups. Some milestones were achieved. I cross the 4,000 pushup mark.I crossed the 33% mark for Handstand

Hero drives my bodyweight challenge

He was my hero. I was just a 5 year old kid when this "Superman" came to town. And to this day his story still brings a tear to my eye. What he achieved, against the obstacles he overcame, makes almost everything we struggle with seem so inconsequential in comparison. His story below, but first, I have three questions for you. The answers determines your future. What are your real limits?What

Handstands in the Garage

Today's Workout was an early one in the garage.It was simple, and a bit random, with the purpose of adding more reps to the 33,333 challenge. Totals were: 300 bodyweight squats, 50 decline pushups, 50 elevated pushups, 18 handstand pushups, 100 bodyweight rows, 75 ab wheel rollouts (although the rollouts don't count towards the 33,333, of course).518 reps.Then a FB Fitness QnA.Q: I'm in week

Push and Pull back in Canadia

Back to barbell workouts in Canadia. I had a smooth trip home from Vegas yesterday, and arrived at the ol' farm at 9pm. Fell asleep by 10pm, and was in the gym this morning by 10am for a deadlift session. 100 squats and 100 pushups in the warmup 1A) Trap Bar Deadlift 1B) Box Jumps 1C) Bench Press - performance was up even though I did heavy db presses and lots of pushups yesterday...all

Hopefully Home from Vegas Today

Well yesterday through a wrench in my plans. When I checked my flight status, it showed an 8 hour delay.What?Surely something's wrong. I called my travel agent. "Yep, a mechanical problem with the plane has pushed the flight back. You won't get into Toronto until 3am."Uh, no thanks. That's when I get up! So I decided to stay an extra day in Vegas, and it worked out well because I finished a LOT

Last Workout in Vegas

Finished up one last quick and sweaty bodyweight workout in Vegas before it was time to head off to the airport. A classic Vegas 555 workout of 555 bodyweight reps from:Squat 325 repsPushup 130 repsBurpee 80 repsChin 10 reps Row 10 repsThis was well fueled by last night's big dinner at Joe's Stone Crab over in Caeser's Palace. Bedros and I always try to get in a visit to the Las Vegas or Miami

Vegas Walk and Workout Part 3

Last night's dinner was a great time with Jon & Andrea Benson, Jason Ferruggia, Bedros Keuilian, and Mikey "NY Strip pansteak for dinner" Whitfield. I had a big pork chop, a highly underrated steakhouse meal. Earlier in the day ol' Jay Ferruggia went for our annual walk up and down the Vegas strip. We caught up on his training, his podcast, his 8-week long 40th birthday party celebration,

500 reps and 1000 calories in Vegas Day 2

Last night my buddy Jason Ferruggia arrived into Vegas. So he, Bedros, and myself went to Jean Georges Steakhouse in Aria. It's a great restaurant, but never busy, because I don't think anyone knows it is there. It's hidden up on Level 2 of Aria. The restaurants beside are always empty, too.But...The food is great. Big B went with the Armenian-Moscow-Mule-Pretzel-Bread approach to eating

Paleo Chicken Chili Recipe

If you've ever struggled with a diet...I'm willing to bet BOREDOM was a big reason that it failed you. It's not your fault almost all diets suck. You see, it's easy to get into a rut and start eating the same thing over and over... feel frustrated... and then give up. This is even true with the Paleo Diet--easily the hottest diet in the world right now--because it limits nearly all

LV Meathead and Bodyweight Workout

Had a great day in Vegas. Met up with an old friend who is the GM of the new Michael Jackson Cirque show. We went for sushi. It was okay. Years ago I went way off the strip with Mike Geary and Jimmy "Vegas" Sweeney to a small sushi joint. It was amazing. Jimmy is a sushi freak. I'll have to ask him for the name of the place.Starting tonight we have four big dinners out.Tonight - Gordon Ramsay

14-day plan to lose fat fast

What's the BEST way to lose weight? I get this question all the time on our TT Facebook page (where we are coming up quickly on 200,000 Likes!). Too many people think they should do cardio. But that's WRONG. You should use diet and short, burst workouts, like the ones I give you, such as tomorrow's 7-Minute Lucky-7 Workout. I just did this 'themed' workout here in Las Vegas this morning,

Vegas Shenanigans Part 1

Shenanigans, albeit goofy ones, have already occurred on my trip to Vegas.Last night at midnight I woke up and had to go to the lil' boys room. I tried to roll out of bed, but you know how hotel bed sheets are often tucked into the corners tighter than a nuns bun? Well, my legs got caught and I literally fell out of bad, landing awkwardly in a split squat stance, with head just inches to the

5 snacks NEVER to eat

Snacking can be good, but done wrong with these 5 snack food disasters, snacking can ruin your diet and make you fatter. Get these snack foods out of your daily diet and use the guilt-free alternatives I give you instead. #1 - Avoid The Addictive Snack in a Bag: Trail Mix Our first snack is delicious and so easily addicting. But did you know that a single cup of your favorite trail mix

One more bodyweight workout

Finished up one more bodyweight workout in Austin. Now it's time to head to the airport and end up in Vegas a few hours later. I'll be there for almost a full week...might be my longest stint in Vegas ever, and I'm going to make it my healthiest, too. As soon as I land I'll head to Whole Foods to stock up on the healthy foods to get me through the week, such as:- spinach- broccoli- smoked

Bodyweight is Bigger in Texas

Today's workout included 300 bodyweight squats, 201 pushups, and 100 bodyweight rows along with db presses, db lunges and planks.. Later today there is a big meal planned and some football. Until then I'll be writing or hanging out by the pool. Today's Kickbutt Mindset Tip:Every day you should think big, have gratitude and celebrate your achievements. That's how you keep the momentum going and

Denver workout and Austin diet

Lots of fun today. Started with an early bodyweight and dumbbell workout at the Four Seasons in Denver. My business partner, Matt Smith, lives in the hotel (in the residences), but he's moving out in a couple of weeks. This was my last chance to stay there and enjoy the hotel gym (stocked with crappy Technogym equipment!) and The Edge steakhouse (a Denver hot spot). Today's workout:1A)

1 Yummy Food Trick for Faster Weight Loss

Did you know that traditional food timing recommendations, like "don't skip breakfast"... or "don't eat late at night"...or "make sure you eat before exercise" are all complete myths? Well, as you're about ready to discover inside the brand new article below, you should intentionally BREAK all 3 of these traditional "diet rules" if you want to look younger, increase your fat loss, and

Bodyweight and diet mistake

Oooops! You're going to like this. Last night I made a big diet blunder. After a huge dinner, I got tempted into chocolate covered almonds. I was so full and didn't need them, but ate them anyways. Maybe you can relate? Anyways, I felt terrible this morning. On the bright side, I had lots of energy for my workout...even though I felt awfully full. We all make those mistakes from time to

3 ab exercises not to do?

I worked my abs really hard this week...whooo-hoo, they are sore. It started with a 4-minute max plank to pre-fatigue my six-pack. That's a new record for me. Next up was a killer ab superset of TRX standing fallouts and Power Wheel rollouts. Four rounds of 15 reps per move left my abs rocked and rolled. No crunches or situps needed, because they are a waste of time. NOTE: Do NOT do

4 minute plank record

Bit of a recovery - and recording breaking - workout today.Started the day with 2 big servings of cacao nibs.I do not use a lot of caffeine, and whatever neuro-stimulant is in cacao (is it caffeine? Theobromine? not sure), it gets me wired.And so in just a short recovery workout I set a new personal record in the in boring ol' plank.Not only did I break a record, but I crushed it by 25%. I went

20 minute cardio myth

Last week Men's Health magazine asked me for the "worst fitness rule" ever. I told them it was this myth that has been around for years. You might have read that... "You must do 20 minutes of cardio before your body starts to burn fat." <= This is ridiculous and a complete LIE. Cardio is a terrible way to lose weight. Worse, did you know that one of the exercises below can actually make you

Squats and bodyweight progress

Today it was back to the barbell and training at the Colorado Athletic Center on 16th street here in Denver. Fortunately there was no conditioning in today's session, so the altitude didn't crush me like yesterday. Lats are quite sore from yesterday's high volume pushups and chins, though. But overall I feel a lot less sore than expected.This is week 4 of my latest heavy lifting program

42-year old ripped freak

As we discussed last week, age is just a number. You can transform at ANY age. We've had 70-year old female TT readers losing weight and TT contest winners like Kerry Zelinka, at age 51, sporting ripped abs. You don't have to be 25 years old to have a lean, flat stomach. Recently I was in Florida with my good friend, Shaun Hadsall - whom you'll agree is RIPPED at age 42. He

Dirty Denver Circuit

Curse you Denver, and your mile high altitude.Made for a Labor(ed) Day workout: 15 rounds of 30 bodyweight squats, 20 pushups, 5 pullups, 5 burpees. Also did 150 TRX rows to finish off. Toronto needs to step up its altitude to prepare me for this next time...or I need to start training at the top of the CN tower.
