So we surpassed our 30 comment quota on the last blog post, “The Curse of Motivation”…coolness.
NOW, it’s time to get freaky with the good stuff and, as promised, my 3 BEST tricks for you to absolutely crush the “Curse of Motivation” and keep rocking and rolling with your athletic success.
So, let’s get it on:
1. Write a thank-you letter to yourself TODAY
This little trick is all about personal accountability..
I discovered it a few years back when I was actually writing thank-you letters to some friends, and because I’m awesomely weird, I decided to write a thank-you letter to myself. Click here to continue reading
Man, can you believe it’s twenty-ten (2010) already? Crazy…
I don’t know if you’ve ever seen that show How I Met Your Mother (CBS Mondays at 8 PM Eastern Time), but I watch it all the time, own all the seasons on DVD, quote my favorite characters….you know, the whole nine.
Anyways, there was an episode I watched for the <totally lost count> time the other day where it’s New Year’s Eve and the show’s main character, hopeless romantic and narrator Ted Mosby decides to take New Year’s Eve into his own hands.
See, earlier in the episode and throughout the entire thing, Ted and crew say something like “New Year’s Eve is the most overrated night of the year…with all the hype and pre-planning it gets, there’s no way it can ever live up to its billing.”
All week, it’s been great to hang out and clown around with a lot of the people you don’t get to see that often. I saw Sherlock Holmesyesterday with the whole family and it was pretty darn good.
Robert Downey Jr. is my FAVORITE actor (Iron-Man was so dope) and he did a killer job portraying Sherlock Holmes, while holding down a wicked British accent throughout the movie. The rest of the film was good, not great, but if you like action or mystery type movies, you’re definitely going to enjoy this one!
Now, a surprising question (well, it used to kinda surprise me…I guess I’m just used to it now) I get a lot regarding getting quicker, faster and more athletic goes something like this:
I was talking to one of my Platinum Athletic athletes a couple days ago (which is, btw, shutting down…just a little too much demand compared to the amount of time I’d like to to give to it…everyone currently in it, no worries, you’re still in for as long as you want), and through our emailing back and forth, he was telling me that while he was feeling quicker and faster, he wasn’t any stronger.
He said he was still using the same amount of of weight on all his major exercises, and his bathroom mirror was telling him he hadn’t gained any muscle either.
Just a quick reminder that the Truth About Quickness Holiday Package Promo is in full-gear right now…Kelly and I added THREE killer bonuses to the original package making it arguably the coolest combination of speed and quickness stuff *ever*.
I’m sitting in here at Barnes and Noble right now cranking out this blog post and I have to say, I’m really impressed with the set-up they have here.
There’s a whole series of large, open desks with soothing, calm music playing, not to mention the nice aroma of coffe beans and “new book smell” all around…I think I just found my new “get lots of work done in a short amount of time” spot (I guess it’s fairly obvious at this point the smaller, overlooked things like this make me happy, LOL).
OK, enough of that, let’s talk about getting you super-duper athletic.
I’m walking back into my condo complex late last night, and I see the complex security guard, Steve, up ahead (his back is turned to me).
He doesn’t hear me, so I just figure I’ll just walk by, give him a shout-out and keep it movin’. So, I stroll along and right as I get about 2 steps from him, he quickly whips around, sees me, JUMPS back and shouts,” Holy s**t, you scared the hell out of me!”
I remember when I first started really learning all about what it meant to be a trainer and a “speed coach” (or an athletic coach or whatever generic name you wanna give it!).
Everyone who knows me personally knows that regardless of anything else, I am enormously self-motivated. I know what I want to do and know, and then I make it happen.
I go to every and any resource I need to learn about it and then I take ACTION. It’s a proven formula that has worked out really, really well for me.
So, back to when I first started really learning about training…I was a basketball player and I needed to get faster (well, ok….a LOT faster). So I went to work to try and figure it all out. And piece by piece, things started to come together, I started to really make things happen and voila!, I was fast (well, ok…REALLY fast). It didn’t happen overnight and it wasn’t easy, but damn it was worth it, ya know?
I just finished reading through all of the different comments from Monday’s “Who Needs Muscle, Right?” (well, truthfully, I just finished watching DVR’ed episodes of Two and a Half Men *smile*).
It looks like there are lot of smart Game Speed subscribers (and at 10,000+, I’m not surprised…we’re a smart bunch).
I think you guys hit on everything that was wrong… I’m going to tell you everything I thought was wrong.
Ahh, back to blogging and pouring out my heart on this keyboard in front of me…how enchanting.
Yesterday I was at the gym and happened to overhear 2 athletes having one killer, enlightening discussion.
Enlightening mainly because they taught me a ton of things that I had no idea about. Here’s a short paraphrasing of what their conversation looked like (please take note of the heavy “internet sarcasm” I’m conveying here):
So John Kim (the guy who owns JumpUSA, invented Jump Soles and now the Squat Flex) just sent me over a video for you guys to check out (and I added one of my own too that’s an “oldie, but goodie”).
Take a look below, let me know what you think and don’t forget that if you do decide to get The Squat Flex, you’re automatically entered into and/or get:
* The IPod Free Giveaway (I’ll be giving away 5 IPods to the exclusive pool of just new Squat Flex owners)
* Access to the Private Workout/Training Video Analysis (where I analyze and fix all of your training, there are 2 SPOTS left in that now)
*Stretch Your Vertical, the brand-new 17-page report that comes complete with a step-by-step stretching program that’s been designed specifically to maximize your vertical leap.
I also JUST found out that the price of The Squat Flex is going to be almost doubling after this Tuesday (like 48 hours from now). I guess that means a few months from if you decide it’s time to take some action and make some changes in your athleticism, this bad-boy is going to retail for a whole lot more.
I guess that means now is probably the “more right” time to act (especially with all of the bonuses and freebies I’m throwing in until Tuesday too). Here it is at the almost 50% off price now:
