What do you, the office goer – or everyday Joe or Jane – really NEED in terms of their fitness?
- Hint - it aint the JIm.

Can you answer that question definitively?

Most people fall prey to marketing and shiny new machines, the girls, yakking the Bull and what not, and would answer “an hour daily at the gym”

If you aint spending an hour daily at the Jim, you aint getting fit.

Lets face it, most quit after paying the fees, fancy memberships lying unused… (strike a CHORD that??)

Or, if you ask most people?

“we need more Cardio to lose weight!”

Or, this – “To FEEL better!”

And a variety of answers, the #1 excuse people give for not doin the thing – “lack of time”.

Which is bullshit, of course. Folks spend all day long gazing at their damn phones, yet dont have time for quick workouts?

This, my friend, is a myth I have been busting ever since I put out 0 Excuses Fitness.

Workouts that get you super fit within 15 minutes or less, you’ll want to go longer of course, chances are when you begin and even way after that, about 5-7 minutes will wipe you out completely (if you’re the average person).

Seasoned fitness fanatics have reported taking my pull-up challenges and falling flat on their backs while getting that GLOW from inside you do after a superlative workout.

These, and other thoughts struck me this morning as I kept doing my workouts – first, a 100 squats in pitch darkness in the man cave, then stretching, then, well, something I had not done in a while – a long time, I wasn’t even sure I could rep ’em out beyond 5!

Last I did Hindu pushups was a couple of months back.

And so today, repping out 20 – that was amazing.

Easy peasy it felt, and then I took a great little video of me doing this exercise with Indian clubs – a great workout that Indian wrestlers do all the time till this day, and it’ll get you in great shape.

This little workout shouldn’t take you more than 6-8 minutes tops fresh.

It took me more because of all the camera adjustng and stuff, you’ll see…

But dayummmmmmmmmmmmm

It got me thinking, what YOU really need is this – workouts that you can use ANYWHERE – requiring NO equipment (club was what I used, but you can just as easily just do a 100 pushups and 100 squats) … and MOST importantly, get you DONE with your workout in <10 minutes, less than 8 if you’re going at a good clip.

Squeeze that in into your lunch break, you still got time for quick stretching and lunch.

Squeeze that in between writing emails, or books.

Or, simply during the course of the day.

It’s easy to stay fit provided you have the will and know how, my friend.

Its easy to stay super fit as I do!

I can provide the knowhow – I do so right here – the 0 Excuses Fitness System (rightly hailed as the best damn fitness system out there).

But you, and only you can provide the WILL.

And thats that. Back soon.

Best,

Quitting out of frustration at pull-ups?
- I get it ... Hey. I done been there, done that too!

Pull-ups, man. Everyone wants to be able to do them – in sets, reps, slow and easy, all the way up, all the way down ,yet, most people either cannot do it, or do it WRONG.

And I’ve seen so many otherwise well intentioned trainees who’re doing great keeping their weight down, or trying to, doing great at working the legs etc – just simply up and “quit” at getting better and better at pull-ups.

Hey, I can relate.

Story from my own past – at around the time I wrote “Pull-ups – from DUD to STUD – within a matter of WEEKS! – it was tough for ME to get my chin over the bar!

The cover shows you my lack of conditioning at that point, though granted, it wasn’t near as bad as a lot of people, because I kept persisting, but persistence will only take you so far if you dont lose that weight around the midsection, ass and body in general.

But I still did ’em, but I remember what a struggle it was to get the chin over the bar – how people commented “you need to do them better” – and so forth (a lot of these idiots being “lookie lous” who sat on park benches and did exactly F all themselves but someone doing the thang…) …

How the old man in China would keep (well, one of them) making the “cut throat” gesture… (this was when I was already pretty good at pull-ups) and so forth.

For a long, long time my friend, just like YOU reading this email most likely, I was shy – and embarassed about my pull-ups.

I was far more confident on pushups.

Remember, this is the pull-up STUD saying this!

Today, as I can comfortably hold a sternum hold for at least a minute, I reflect back on my learning experiences – which for some part prompted the numerous changes in the book above – the current version is far more “verbose” than the initial version.

Now, what did I do to get comfortable getting my chin over the bar?

Naturally less fat around the midsection, yes, but what else?

The real key wasn’t just the above, although it was nigh instrumental, it wasn’t form, it wasn’t doing slow reps, or ladders, it wasn’t even visualization – all of that helped, yes – but it was ONE form of movement that helped the most, my friend – and that isn’t something you necessarily associate with pull-ups.

Once I got better at that form – or HOLD – and no, it wasn’t just the dead hang – and kept improving, voila – things changed dramatically with me keeping the above factors in mind too.

What that one thing is, Pull-ups – from DUD – to STUD – within a matter of WEEKS! will tell ya – if you’re smart enough to spot it.

The secret lies in pretty much every part of the book, yet, much like Think and Grow Rich said, I dont give it away directly because if I did so, you’d be robbed of much of the benefit you’d get if you discovered it for yourself.

And it’s right there out in the open, actually – if you can SPOT it, or are open minded and prepared to work hard what I tell you to do. Way too many folks want “instant results”, that wont happen, sorry.

But it’ll happen quicker than you thank – hehe – if you do the thing right and regularly.

And, until I incorporated this little gem of an open secret into my training – NOTHING changed for me. Frustration kept piling up, I did not ever quit, but I got the feeling “I’m not ever going to get beyond a certain point at this exercise”.

I know a lot of YOU have that feeling too.

And therefore I’m telling ya.

Once I did what I’m referring to – voila – it was like the FLOODGATES opened…

Read the book, dont just read it once. My manuals are not meant to be read once and forgotten. They’re meant to be read for years, thumbed through repetitively – theres wisdom upon wisdom in the words that will hit you in a new manner with every reading you do, the more you practice, the more you’ll understand and draw meaning and inspiration from what I say – in practical terms, which is what COUNTS.

Ok, all for now. I can relate to the feeling – been there, done that – tossed it away, and so can YOU!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – If you’re already pretty good at pull-ups, cranking out sets of 10 in good form – then youre ready for the next level – Pull-ups – from STUD to SUPER STUD within WEEKS!

Lots want to get this book first. (before the first one).

Please do not.

There’s a reason for the progression. You dont turn into David Goggins overnight, even he did not.

Get good at the basics FIRST. Really hammer those into the ground, and never stop doing so, and only then – then and only THEN – get the advanced book.

Full range on pushups – concentric vs eccentric – and more!
- Do them in full range or not at all.

I have written about this before my friend.

Do pushups properly, slow and easy, full extension up, and importantly, touching the chest to the floor (not your tummy or groin!) (believe me, many people make just that mistake – weak lower back, abs, too much fat around midsection etc) … or not at all.

Dont even get me started on the horrible jerky “get as many reps as you can as quick as you can” thang a lot of folks do out there in parks and such. Ugh, just fuckin awful – ruins your body, and disrespects one of the greatest bodyweight, if not THE greatest exercise known to mankind, certainly one of the oldest along with the pull-up.

Man, these days when doing pushups, I’ve noticed something that even yours truly “Corrugated Core” hasn’t for years.

That being, a non existent midsection!

“Nothing to tense there”, is what my body told me as I automatically went into clench thighs and tense abs mode during my pushup workout yesterday, which was just two sets of 50 – easy for me, but still a damn good workout to do daily.

It literally feels so light around there “there’s nothing there to tense” – though there is, and its more than a superbly conditioned core. I’ve always had that – well for a while, but it’s THIS month, all the fasts and such, intermittent and what not that I wrote about, other forms of fasting that I’ve been doing thats really ripped a lot of the INTERNAL junk away.

Internal fat is what really counts, and is unhealthy my friend.

The fat around your liver, intestines, internal organs – even a lot of so called skinny people have it.

And THAT fat needs to be attacked – FIRST.

Visceral fat I believe they call it – get rid of that – everythang becomes a lot easier post doing that.

And hard exercise plus what some might consider “extreme” measures are the only freakin way to do it, friend.

Anyway …

It got me thinking

So many people do pushups mostly right, but they wont go all the way down, claiming its not necessary to touch the chest to the floor, or “stop a bit short of full extension on the way up”.

Now, no doubt doing either of this will result in more reps.

But it will also result in an overall easier workout.

Do a set of 20 pushups that way.

Then drop down, give me a slow 20 where you touch the chest to the ground, pause, go all the way up – pause, and then rep another one out.

You’ll be breathing a lot differently at the end of that slow chest to the ground set (and all the way up) – I guarantee you that, and you’ll FEEL it differently.

Why wouldn’t you want to stretch the chest out to the fullest extent possible? Those muscle fibers are no different from any other!

And if someone was sitting on your back, would you “stop short” of full extension, or REALLY press into the ground full extension?

The answer is evident, my friend.

Remember, tendons and ligaments are far more important overall than “muscles alone” – without the former, you wont really have the latter – not in lasting form, anyway – and my book on isometrics focuses on just that.

Thats yet another reason form is so important, why its been passed down since ages, why my Taekwondo teacher in eigth grade who gave me hell on the splits and rightly so – I still remember him nodding approvingly “Good!” as I was the only one in class who even back then did pushups chest to the grass, slowly up and down … no-one else would. Or could.

Then you got those who claim “the pushing up part is more important”

Maybe in some ways, but the lower down you go, the more you pushup back up my friend. ITs that simple.

“Elementary, Watson” – no pun even intended for those familiar with the other biz…

Same thing for squats.

While 70-80% of the motion might feel like a better thigh burn, its ass to grass that really builds the lower – and entire – body in its entirety – as you go through them high reps, focus on doing that every rep, and you’ll quickly see the truism of what I’m saying.

Alright, my friend, thats that for now. To get better at squats – something everyone must do – Squat 101 is your baby, and make sure to pick up Squat 101 – the TIPS! as well.

Back soon.

PS – Pushup Central is by far the greatest and best book out there on pushups, as readers have correctly pointed out, nothing even comes close to it. Take a gander, and you’ll quickly see how the product can change your BODY – and life – and right quick at that.

Reverse pull-ups…
- Man oh man`

Man oh man, them coincidences – which I dont believe in, just keep piling up!

This morning, I was there waiting for my damn tea to steep – which it finally did, and for the “ex” to let me have a go at the power point for the damn hot water or what not, until that happened, of course, I did 10 pull-ups.

Then I did a few more.

But the last one I did, I knew there was something special to it, even though I did not find it tough whatsoever – for me – but it IS tough for most people out there.

That being a REVERSE pull-up.

Now, reverse training is something I’ve highly advocated, and being as of late, my book “Pushups – REVERSE pushups – the BEST darn exercise EVER!” has really, without me marketing an iota for it – started to sell way more than it normally does (which it was doing fine) – especially in audio format – like hotcakes, I should say, and without “jinxing” the damn book, I gotta say this – reverse training is something everyone should incorporate into their routines.

(And it just shows you, when a product is that damn good, it does its own marketing, so do the REVIEWS it gets and the results it gets people which that last one is really what counts my friend. Its about YOU, and what the book does for YOU, not how much I tom tom it as the best etc. (Which it is, dont get me wrong). Like Bezos once said, in the old days you devoted 70% of the time shouting about it from the rooftops, and 30% on your product, in the new age, that inverts.

I’m not entirely on board with that, but he’s right – the internet has changed things to a great deal!)

With pushups, the form is key – and that book covers reverse pushups in its entirety – of course, there’s always ways to take things to the next level!

I still remember a long term customer telling me (Charles) how “handstands were relatively (mark the word – relatively!) easy for him”, but how he struggled with table pushups and reverse pushups.

These bring out weak links in your body you did not even know you had, they relieve sore shoulders, they improve flexibility throughout the body – I cannot recommend them enough.

I’ve often done nothing but 250 reverse pushup workouts, and felt GREAT. Abs-olutely great – no pun intended!

The exercise in this book is quite difficult to master but once you crack it, it will blow you away at how good it makes your entire body feel, I’m 63 and let me tell you, this one exercise has done more for my overall wellbeing than anything else I’ve ever done. A masterpiece, thank you.

– John Walker  (from the UK).

And he’s right!

Now, while this exercise will go a very long way indeed in giving you that “carved” abs look to the point where people’s elbows bounce off it – it’ll feel like their elbows are bouncing off a damn wall (to them) … what about another great movement?

Reverse pushups are a great way to improve rep counts in pushups, and build up the strength to do pull-ups properly if you cannot as yet.

But even if you can, like me?

Really focus on the ECCENTRIC motion of the pull-up, my brain told me for some reason this morning.

And while I did not know why, after checking sales etc for my books while sipping my tea, I know why – now.

There’s no other way to really focus on pull-ups in reverse other than what I just mentioned above, and if you can lower down under control, you’ll build solid grip and tendon strength that you would not if you just “did the pull-up” normally (which builds great strength and conditioning anyway).

That, my friends, is a reverse pull-up.

Some may consider the chin up to be that, but I focus on motion when it comes to these sort of things, and as I did a minute down on the pull-up, man, it felt great!

Googled around a bit to see if I was the only doing this sort of madness, hehe – and lo, I came upon guys dressed exactly like I do – right down to the color etc – fit guys – doing ’em!

It’s a great way to build strength for the actual pull-up if you dont already have the strength and fitness levels to do them chin over bar. Simply “jump” or otherwise get to the top position of the pull-up, and really, really focus on lowering down under control.

And thats that, my friend. Maybe I’ll have a video of me doing it, but really – most of my pull-up videos show it, as I do them slow and easy, perfect form, not jerking up and down for rep count like most people do.

But there’s probably going to be a video on it out there SOMETIME – maybe sooner than y’all think. Watch out!

Or, watch this SPACE for more – hehe.

To end – along with the book above, another great compilation of ours – “Pull-ups – from DUD to STUD – to SUPER STUD within WEEKS!” has been quietly climbing up the charts.

I still remember how the book was trolled – and praised in equal quantities and measures.

The book will truly CHANGE your life, my friend, as a recent review said – and I highly encourage you to check it out NOW if you’re truly interested in getting better – real good – at the one exercise that everyone desperately wants to do well, but precious few folks can.

And thats that.

Back soon!

PS – Folks, leave reviews for the audiobooks too – please. Thank you!

Pull-up bars aren’t clotheslines, dipping bars aint coat hangers …. ????
- And thus forth

Monkey bars ain’t a place to park ya ass and yack the bull, or bull the jack, or shoot DA shit, or what not …

Yet, you see people doing this shit every damn where.

I just got in a “if you dont mind” request from the ex about the chinning bar, she wants to tie a rope to it to dry some sheets or some shit.

OK, just make damn sure it dont fall down I told her, and itll come off tomorrow, “dats” for showl, which she seems to agree to, but we’ll see.

Dang.

In Fast and Furious Fitness, I wrote about folks using dipping bars as coat hangers, and doing idiotic situps on them – ugh.

You have folks that train hard in the Jim and you have idiots leaving sweat and shit all over equipment, not cleaning up, hurrying folks up in the squat rack so they can get their little selfies in, wtf?

Gym etiquette, or workout etiqutte is sorely lacking globally.

Anyway.

Short one this.

But a long video for you on FASTING, and why intermittent fasting works nigh best –

 

ENJOY!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Share the fuckin word…

Intermittent 48 hour fasting – the best way.
- IMO

There’s no one best way for anything, of course, but fasting is something I cannot recommnd highly enough, have spoken of in the past, and well, everyone – regardless of whether or not you need to lose weight (note – NEED – if you’re fat, it aint a matter of WANT) should do it regularly.

Work into it and all that, do keep working out during it, I’ve spoken of all that before.

But today I’ll cover the best way I do it – which is – well, intermittent fasting which has worked, and continues to work wonders for me.

I dont even mention weight loss in my case, because I Already GOT my weight where it is – without doing much fasting at all – just a lot of those WORKOUTS – but once I did, I started trying fasting, and really got into it last year, and this, and continue to get into it at a very high level altogether.

This entire month of July, I’ve eaten like 11 days thus far I believe.

What I’m known for doing is going on long fasts – without anything at all except water and lots of green tea (occasionally coffee, but thats RARE if at all).

And breaking it like a tiger, with a huge meal.

And not necessarily all meats either, though I did that last year as you can tell from some of the youtube videos, but excess of anything isn’t good, meat included.

Yesterday I added in the sinful indulgences I wrote about.

Now …

I’m thinking of fasting AGAIN today.

Saturday and Sunday were FULL fasts for me. until Sunday night.

Last I ate was Friday night, so thats a 48 hour fast – give or take.

And this is what I do most of the time these days.

I Follow that up with three days of eating, then perhaps 3 days of fasting again, then I break the fast, then I do the 48 hour fasts.

I could go longer on all these occasions, but I dont always. Last I did was it early this year – 7 day complete fast.

I Truly believe your body needs some time to get used to all the food you put in it after 48 or more hours of not eating anything “in survival mode”.

And I think the way I do it, eating BIG after a fast, and lots of the unhealthy stuff too sometimes – well, it gives my body a chance to dump all that unhealthy shit out the next day – no pun intended.

Result, I feel even more transformed than if I Were to eat “just healthy” and “ease into breaking the fast”.

I do it the way of the tiger.

I recommend YOU do too.

My ex keeps complaining about being dizzy etc (remember, the woman who claims “you’re fit if you pop out four kids” – despite the FAT around the midsection for said woman and her utter laziness, she’s unwilling to even bend to pick something up or squat etc) – with “three meals a day”.

Look, put less into your body, friend.

And you could go on longer fasts, but it’s not required – what I recommend is either 36 or 48 hour fasts for most people.

Done very regularly.

Research the eating habits of those who consider true fitness gurus, and slim etc, and healthy, and you’ll see what they do.

My product The Simple and Effective Diet contains a lot of useful information, but fasting, hell, I need to put a book out on that too. Maybe I will soon. Lots to write about – but remember, the above is yours truly free “gratis” with a purchase of the 0 Excuses Fitness System – which truly, “as they said” is the best damn bodyweight fitness system out there, “nothing even comes close to it”, and therefore if you’re truly into fitness, yes, you DO need to get that – NOW.

And uh, thats that …

What is sexual transmutation?
- An oft confusing topic.

It’s something I’ve spoken of often, but haven’t fully explained – as yet.

It’s something that cannot be fully explained via writing or in it – though a tome will come soon on it.

It’s something everyone has had questions on “should I abstain or not” – and it’s a highly “contentious” issue too.

Well, my friend, I dont know if you’ve read Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich and the chapter on sexual transmutation.

In case you have, and are still wondering what it is, because lets face it, Hill didnt “directly” mention it – but then again, he did not mention it directly ie. the SECRET at the start of the book  because like dude RIGHTLY says, you will LOSE most of the benefit of this knowledge if he just told you directly – well, this video here will help.

Some may still say it’s indirect, well, I got this to say – do it and get back to me and you will be the one making videos on it. Hehe.

Pics “say” a thousand words, or maybe speak.

Videos, maybe a million.

Enjoy.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Yes, this has “something” to do with the size of your dickie doo, but not what you’d think.

Sophia once asked me about how to increase the size of her mammaries, I told her we dont deal with that here. Haha.

You’d be amazed how many guys write in asking about their equivalent and that me with my “tantric” (theyre not – lol – just because the general look is that way doesn’t mean I’m that, though mentally I DO have certain powers most folks dont, but I’ve worked at CULTVIATING that power for years upon years, therefore…) methods and means and Indian heritage “knows” how to do it…

An unique indicator of “how I judge my health” or male health in general
- The Dickie Doo Award.

There is a great truism in China “Pang Ren Qiu Dian” which I have spoken of over the years – Fat man have small penis, and this is actually not “scienticially” true in that the size of your belly doesnt have much to do with the actual size of your wang.

HOWEVER, it does have a lot to do with blood flow down there for males – that is a fact.

And it’s a fact, that as my girlfriend once laughingly remarked in bed to me “Honey, why do slimmest guys have the biggest dicks”?

Blush all you like, friend, but we all know it’s true, much like we all know the X shape, being able to do a lot of pull-ups, having very little fat around the lower abs, sides is what everyone WANTS.

Corrugated Core, and some of my other products serve that specific niche.

On that note, I should say “plus the aesthetics” of it, if the belly is too large, as Rueben once told me when sending me the “Dickie Doo” award – “when you’re too fat to see your dick when you look down in shower” – LOL.

Rueben was – is – shall remain – CLASSIC.

But for me, with all my other unique health indicators, I use one to test myself all the time.

That being this – how “horny” I stay – or do I wake up every morning with a raging BONER.

Sophia once complained “You’re always so damn horny!”

Well, I can’t help it honey – I’m not going to get into why here.

But, point is this my friend – it aint got nothing to do with age either, if you aren’t waking up regularly with a hard on, you ain’t fully “functioning” if you get my drift.

Lots of men dont, have erectile dysfunction and such.

To have that animal like LUST FUELED VIGOR is something you have to HAVE to understand.

Abstaining is part of the key.

But for purposes of this site, banish that fat belly if you have one is the other key and more important one. Look, I never had ED when “fat”, but  remember, I was dong – no pun, lol – pull-ups etc even then (but no excuses, I was fat – period) …

I did NOT however, have the X factor back then, I dont mean x SHAPE there, I mean mentally (though I didnt have both).

Napoleon Hill spoke about the power and magic of sexual transmutation that the MALE has (not females, as they aren’t wired that way – men are) – in Think and Grow Rich, and it’s true, only someone who has experienced it can attest to it.

Most real doers HAVE.

While I’m not going to get into specifics on that here, suffice it to say that the more “lust” you have – at any age – as a male – the more of an achiever you are in life, its a fact that as Hill said, most successful men are “highly sexed”.

And they are…

Maybe thats why they’re mostly all divorced multiple times. Hehe. Hey, Nature made us this way!

Nah, I’m not “condoning” infedility of any nature, I do however think the whole “marriage” – the way the “term” changes previously great relationships for the worse, the expectations placed on all parties – needs to be reexamined, but hell, what do I know…

Anyway.

Thats that.

To achieve that “animal like vigor”, my friend, you have to MOVE like an animal for one, live like one, fast like one, EAT like one, and so forth.

And we’ve covered all in the recent past except movements, which you can find here.

Thats that!

PS – Dont be surprised if your significant other or others starts making complaints about “you’re too horny” as opposed to “why the hell can’t it stay hard” once you get on the workouts above. Hehe.

Flip flops, safety – and what the hell constitutes a dang rip off anyway??
- Lots here, son!

There’s a lot of shit I want to cover in this email, I’ll do a video up on it later, maybe. For now, the last topic “rip off” is what I wanted to cover for multiple reasons – but I got segued into other topics too…

OK, so “flip flops” – I love ’em, wear ’em everywhere I damn well can though I should NOT be wearing them everywhere I damn well can, hehe – especially not in this here neck of the woods I live in.

A pushup guru (I wont name him here – because I’m not sure he’d want it, though chances are he would not mind at all) once made a video I viewed part of a long time ago about “why real men – or safety conscious men – or both – dont wear flip flops every damn place”.

Now, despite my love of flip flops, his video hit home, and I Agreed with it, I was saying the same dang things to myself before I even viewed his vid which I ain’t heard fully either, but I KNOW what dude said.

Look, safety wise, flip flops are the shittiest things to wear, whether you’re a man or a woman. Most accidents happen close to home, and doing shit like I did – wearing flip flops while hiking with Carol once, and the damn things broke on me – no wonder – and it was raining, sweaty, slippery – and I was in China at that point (though roads pretty safe, no glass etc there, but aint no tellin when something will hit ya, as it just did NOW) … and I remember Carol saying.

“What will I do in this case!”

I told her to leave my ass there, hehe.

Of course, and rightly so, she wouldnt, and didnt, but point is this – you can get attacked – mugged – or just in a damn fight or accident damn near anywhere, it’ll happen when you dont know it, when you dont expect it, when you dont fuckin see it, and my daughter who just asked me out the door “Dad, why do you always check everything first” (quick look I always take) – well, there’s a REASON behind it.

No, I’m not top secret CIA. I have no plans to turn into Jason Bourne, though I love the dude, and Matt Damon (Ben Affleck too – damn good actor I feel).

But the bottom line is the bottom line, SNEAKERS are what I’d wear everywhere – not boots necessarily, but sneakers, coz them damn things allow me to MOVE best, and in a fight, your MOVEMENT is the most important, and if you’re fighting a truly trained fighter, your movements will be a dead giveaway to him or her (though admittedly most idiots attacking or otherwise picking fights on the road are trained in nothing but BULLYING).

Dude said in the video if you do that, you’re an idiot and pansy – or something to that effect.

I agree.

Mea culpa hehe. Maybe I’ll learn when someone kicks my RUMPUS in dem flip flops one day, but really – as a stone hit my foot walking back home…

Anyway, security.

I remember my friend Vincent once telling me how he was paid at the school we both taught at to furtively “spy” on me – not to see how I taught, they all knew I was excellent, but to see “if I was teaching”.

Way too many idiots take the job, dont do it without being monitored, so I get it …

… Being from the Marines, I can just imagine him doing it through his binoculars.

When dropping the daughter off ANYWHERE, Ive got this CARDINAL rule, despite her hating it at the age of almost 10 of WATCHING the area and making damn sure it’s safe before I leave.

She doesnt want Dad to show up at all – she’s that age.

It’s also a very vulnerable age, my friend.

And to do it – I hide – often in trees – literally, so she dont spot me. Hehe.

This evening I told the ex wife about it, she complained I didnt wait “hidden”.

I told her obviously I waited, I hid, I do all those things without  her even telling me, obviously it didnt make a damn bit of difference, water off a duck’s back, so I went back, checked again (I was asking her to check this time being the “caring Mom” she is but she would not) – and saw instructor there, so …

Its a rough mean world out there. You got kids, take damn good care of them – and it dont mean pampering them excessively either.

Anyway …

What the hell exactly constitutes a rip off?

This morning, Dustin (who placed a pre-order for Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness) and had questions about how he addressed his rep count – I thought I’d address those practically – and I did here – made some very sage comments!

One, about how ONE of my one arm “club” videos looks “so like Brooks Kubik on the cover of one of his books” – I think I know the one he is referring to, and hey, I had the same damn thoughts man!

Two, Brooks, man, guy’s a legend and I still remember those emails I exchanged with him back in 2003, I couldn’t “match up” – hehe – I’m saying that in a respectful manner if I bulked up times 10000.

OK, maybe I could, Ive bettered masters before, but true mastery means acknowledging another master, which Brooks, and I dont say this about very many people is a true legend – RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still remember him asking me if I was in the military that first time we spoke.

More on the Advanced Hill Tranining Page. No sir that was NOT an intentional taipo, that one is though, and both shall remain

Anyway ……..

I keep getting compared to Matt Furey, whose a marketing legend – I consider him a legend in that more than anything else.

I still remember John Walker when we first communicated (a long time customer) telling me “I’ve never seen products like yours out anywhere else – except for Matt Furey, and you take it to the next level altogether”.

Which I do.

A while ago, and I forgot to address this, but it came to mind NOW as I see some nutter with man boobs “supposedly doing pushups” out there – he’s grunting more than doing anything – a fat fool I wont mention here made the comment about me “ripping Matt off”.

Huh?

My products are unique my friend, now they may cover SOME of the same exercises Matt’s do, but ripping off? Thats a far, far stretch.

IF someone can provide one logical reason – or justification for this, and I’m sending this out PUBLICLY to all that have bought from me – please do so!

Second, what the hell does a rip off constitute?

Ripoffreport.com contained whines from Matt Furey’s customers saying “he ripped them off because his handstand product was being offered at a ridiculous price and they only got this”.

Typical Bozo price wanker comment, I remember chuckling when I read it, how the hell is that even a rip off?

Lots complain Matt “stole” from Karl Gotch, there’s even a letter out from Gotch on the internet claiming “he’s fat and a snake oil salesman”.

Admittedly Matt put on the pounds in the middle, hehe, but as for everything else I’ve no idea of the veracity of any of it, I simply report what I’ve found on the internet.

But I’ll stick with the rip off part.

Ripped Karl off?

Hell, Matt was the dude responsible for naming exercises that have been around in India for ages and never quite till this date gotten their damn DUE – “Hindu” pushup etc.

I dont know why he named them Hindu. Maybe because thats the dominant religion there…

I dont know why he focuses so much on China – I think the sales part, the part about China having so much mystique and thus forth, but China got most of what they have from India – which is a fact.

Anyway (maybe because his wife is from there? I dont know – I personally think its sales, him being the sales and marketing GENIUS he is) ….

If anything, regardless of Matt’s shape then, now, or whatever – I  will always give him credit for bringing those squats and pushups to the attention of the entire WORLD  or whirld as Furecat likes to say, I used to be on his list a long time ago.

Customer once told me “thats how it is, Matt Marketed them and made money off it – Karl didnt” (he was telling me how Gotch was basically (and again, this via research, I dont know anything “personally” about all this) pissed Furey ripped him or whatever) …

And I gotta agree 100%. Ain’t nothing wrong with marketing yourself and your abilities, which is what Matt did at that point and continues to do – you SHOULD be fuckin doing it – RIGHT – and you should be fuckin letting the world know about it – as I’m SO good at doing. Hehe. Repeatedly. Over and Over again.

Thats life, and it helped scores of people all over the world, I for see nothing at all wrong with what Furey did.

And this brings me to #3.

Me, ripping anyone off is a fuckin joke.

Hell, in my book 0 Excuses Fitness the FIRST part of the exercise section before the pushups, pull-ups, and all that SAYS it clearly.

I clearly tell you Matt didnt create these exercises, but HE gets the credit for bringing them to the world, and I’ll always say this publicly because it’s true, I aint worried about lost sales and other crap like some have mentioned privately, which I get, but to me its about like I said the other fuckin day, staying TRUE to myself above all, and I dont really give a rat’s goddamn about anything other than that.

If you copy someone’s work directly without crediting, thats plagiarism.

I remember a Brit prof of mine once giving me a F on a paper I worked on for that, which shocked me, but TECHNICALLY he was right.

I forgot to include where my quotes came from!

Silly, drunken mistake, and he’d probably have forgiven my ass if I hadn’t given him pure hell all semeter, hehe – including (he was one of those old farts that had a smart mouth) asking “was it (something he was Tom Tomming) present on the plane that took him from ole Blighty to MS) … I still remember the entire class ROARING with laughter. Hehe. Lots gave him hell! None more so than this CAT though, hehe.

Anyway.

That, you could say is plagiarism, but someone who promotes an exercise that has been around for years in his own damn country if you get my drift, someone who publicly acknowledges everyone that has brought it to the world BEFORE him, well, to call that “rip off” shows the level of dudes (his) non existent pea brain – and of course, dude never bought what he trolled.

Which he can continue to, of course, I wont even mention the fucker anymore, because he’s just too dangit STUPID to be mentioned here.

But that, my friends, are my thoughts on that, very public, so shall they remain.

Back soon!

PS – I invited you to show me where pull-up products like mine exist, or which go that DEEP into this mighty exercise. Thats just ONE damn example.

PS #2 – This idiocy, moronicity – can be taken to new levels -it’s sort of reminding me of why I never talk to the ex wife about nothing at all “no logic whatsoever, and real men discuss facts and logic, not stupid childllike emotional tantrums”.

Por ejempelo, and yes, there is a reason I asked my daughter to learn Spanish – hehe – she just taught me how to say “what is the time” – (not to mention yours truly can speak it anyway, but pretends not to, lol)  – are we to say that Rahul Mookerjee ripped Jean Claude Van Damme off because he christened the split, something which I’ve never seen anyone better JCVD at the “JCVD split”?

Thats there is Advanced, Profound, Isometric and Flexibility Training. 

Or, did I rip Jack La Lanne off by calling the pushup that? (Personally, I’ll stick with what Tyrone Eric told me “Habib humping the floor” pushup  ie “floor humper” pushup – hehe) …

I mean, the idiocy is just fuckin outstanding …

Now, another reason for naming those exercises after them?

Well, they’re no longer with us – Jack La Lanne isnt as far as I know, neither is the Gama and so forth, now JCVD – long live his martial arts skill and him, hehe – is – but for the most part, I’ve got this odd thing in my brain telling me “these sort of titles are best bestowed upon folks postumously”.

You could argue that, and I wouldn’t say much against it, but maybe thats why I dont call the diamond pushup the Herschel walker pushup, although I’ve got a sneaking suspicious HE does ’em better than most others out there, much I do pull-ups better than most others out there, like I do the floor humper better and so forth.

There’s always someone better out there, friend.

You damn well better keep practicing or else, anyway. enough said. Damn, that was LAWWWWWWWNG! But apt, sage and true. Pat on back for reading it, and me for writing it. Yours truly, humble as always.. ????

 

My sinful gluttony
- MY!

You guys have been seeing pictures of nothing but baked, super healthy, super tasty food on youtube as of late – minus even the wheat flatbread and clarified butter I so love to eat.

It’s been veggies,veggies, veggies – along with a healthy dose of spice – butter (white butter, not the yellow kind) – lots of golden corn, and today – some home made mango pickle which seems to FINALLY be ready.

After the last couple of “hellatious” days I’ve had, I deserve it.

But for some reason, I was starving like a SOB even after that (today – I dont normally).

Had a couple of “Danish” chocolate chip cookies – they did not hit the spot.

Then, I started my real “sinfulness”.

Tore open three packs of chocolate chip “oreo” cookies – the kind with chocolate inside, not vanilla – and dumped them into the jar meaning to eat ’em later.

Lo, its like half and hour since I tossed the wrappers, and the damn things are down my gullet already!

I never thought I’d want that many, but given these damn things – and these aren’t home baked, these are commercially bought off the shelf are literally as addictive as cocaine, and given I ain’t touched a cookie for like … what? 3 years? Something like that – I went to town on them. Still am, munching on one as we talk!

Now, where does this leave the average Joe who consumes these daily?

I remember eating 2 packs of them with milk tea after a swim back in the day. No wonder I wasn’t losing weight

It’s an impromptu cheat day for me, which happens SO rarely for me that I will get away with it – I’m sure.

But SUGAR my friend – I mention it as the #1 culprit to be avoided in the Simple and Effective Diet, yours gratis with the 0 Excuses Fitness System – and it’s TRUE.

Avoid it like the plague if you’re trying to lose weight, and even if not, if you’re looking for a healthy lifestyle overall.

I rarely have any sugar at all – this is the first time in years.

And if I do notice any ill effects, I’ll fast it out tomorrow.

But I know now why the wife tries and keeps the daughter from them cookies, hehe.

Hey.

I might bake some of my own!

With all the cooking I’ve been doing, and what I’ve got planned – I might well start me another channel which I was reserving for my travels, but we’ll see. No such plans as of now, for now, it’s the 0 Excuses Fitness Channel here

ANd that is that.

I truly do, as Dominique once said “need a smack on the butt today” for OVEREATING big time. I dont feel guilty though, that cold shower coming up will get the digestion kick started!

And plus, you can get away with it once in a while,  just not daily or even weekly…

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee
