Why You’re Not Lean Yet

Cardio & Weight Loss | Food & Nutrition | Motivation

A couple years back, I released a rapid fat loss program – called the Get Shredded Diet.

Now, I’ve always made it clear who this type of diet is for. It’s for folks who area pretty lean already. So, if you’re closer to 20 or 30% body fat, it’s not for you at all. If you’re in this range,  your fat loss approach should start with The Precision Nutrition System.

Now, while the GSD is expressly for those already lean folks who want to get REALLY lean, the lessons learned from doing something like the GSD are absolutely universal. That’s why today’s update comes from Precision Nutrition Member, Canada K.

Canada K is a 37 year old guy, who, by day, is a chemical engineer and father of 3 boys. By night, however, he paints his face and turns into a bonified gym warrior. Read more…

No Pain No Gain: Fitness Myth or Ultimate Fitness Truth?

Motivation | Strength Training

No Pain, No GainNo Pain, No Gain. Is this aphorism just a fitness myth and downright bad advice? A lot of people seem to think so. As a bodybuilder with 25 years of training experience and more than two dozen trophies on my shelf, I have another perspective to offer you..

The Ultimate Truth?

Success with your body and in every area of your life is all about stepping outside of your comfort zone and that means embracing pain.

To reach high levels of physical and personal success you must approach your training, and your entire life, as an endeavor in constant growth. The ultimate truth is, you are either moving forward or moving backward; growing or dying. There’s no such thing as comfortably maintaining.

To grow, you must step above past achievements; beyond your perceived boundaries and limits. That means stepping out of the known, into the unknown; out of the familiar and into the unfamiliar; out of the comfortable into the uncomfortable. You must get out of your comfort zone. Read more…

Mindfulness Meditation is Worth a Try

Mind & Meditation

What do you think when you hear “hypnosis”? There are some people and some doctors who swear by it—and there are others who swear it’s just a scam. This split mindset is what therapists and psychologists are trying to avoid when it comes to the practice of mindfulness meditation. They want to be certain they have plenty of evidence and testing before claiming it’s a fail proof therapeutic technique.

Mindfulness meditation is not yet hailed as a creditable therapeutic technique, although it is currently tested by many therapists as a beneficial practice for everything from depression to chronic pain. And while all sorts of different psychologists are experimenting with it, they know that without more evidence of benefits, mindfulness meditation will be discarded like so many other holistic techniques often have been in the past. To be certain mindfulness meditation retains credibility, psychologists are making sure that all tests and experiments keep up, if not ahead, of any hype that may develop from whatever success stories it produces.

Kabbalah and Higher Levels Consciousness

Mind & Meditation

In the foreword to The Essential Kabbalah: The Heart of Jewish Mysticism, Daniel C. Matt, one of the world’s leading Kabbalah scholars, and the author of a multi-volume English translation of The Zohar, the summa mystica of this ancient tradition, states: “Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition, is precious and well hidden. Its symbolism, and multiple layers of meaning have attracted and confounded readers for centuries. Having studied Kabbalah for some twenty-five years, my attraction has not abated, my confoundedness has not been eliminated, but seasoned with wonder.”

What is Kabbalah, and what makes it so mysterious to the uninitiated, and constantly endearing to those who delve into its secrets for years?

In Hebrew, “kabbalah” means several things: “tradition” or “receiving” or “that which has been received,” and also “reception” as in the welcoming sign that greets the tourist arriving in Israel when entering hotels. Read more…
