Boy, the last few days or weeks have been so busy they’ve flown past – by – so much so that I have not even addressed some of the idiocy I got from Glyn recently. Hehe.

I will once I get a minute, but for now …

We are TRULY moving full steam ahead on Audible – and here are a few of the books that will be available shortly on Audible –

10 Commandments of Successful Sales 

Zero to …HERO!

Dish Delicious

Gumption Galore!

For now, we’re NOT selling audio books through our site (all through Audible and our other partners ie Itunes etc) – but if you’re interested in doing an audio for us – shoot us an email, we’ll see where we go from there!

And, as a few people have already asked – if you want to be PUBLISHED by us – then do the same.

Boy oh boy, for a guy that steafastly refused to do any of this – how things have changed over the past couple of months, and specifically the last two or three weeks. Truly, when you set your mind on a target, a goal, the WORLD moves apart – the SEAS part – in order for you to achieve that goal – on auto pilot!

I aint going to tell you the goal as yet, in accordance with my “Tell the world what you’re going to do but SHOW IT FIRST!” philosophy. However, the Audible part is well underway, so this is the right time to tell you.

YES, for those of you wondering – the LANGUAGE versions of the books other than English will all be available via audio too ultimately.

Boy, I may have to hire two people just to keep up with all this. Interested?? Hehe.

Now as far as audio goes, I’ve had some very interesting responses!

I naturally chose “General American” for most of my audio (in terms of accent) as that is the most globally and easily understood accent – as opposed to UK, Australian etc – or even Indian – but the fact is this, and its something I’ve told Bozos – especially in China – over and over again.

It ain’t about accent.

It about COMMAND of the language, your ability, your pronunciation, how easy it is for others to understand you!

A long time ago, I remember standing next to a guy in college – brushing our teeth together in the dorm bathrooms – and he (black guy who was the R.A. for our dorm floor) could barely UNDERSTAND what I was saying – the white guys understood me just fine though. Hehe.

And they’d ALL ask me “where I was from”.

At that point, I knew I had to do something which my Uncle later told me – and others too “we couldn’t do it after 20 years of living in the US”.

I had to adapt. Change my accent.

And I did that in the trenches on the fly.

I even picked up a Southern drawl back in the day – when I got my first Job, Uncle J was like “oh yeah, that southern accent is THERE!” – hehe.

I dont whip it out too often now .. no pun! LOL. But it’s there… along with a medley of other accents I can put on, should I choose to.

But I dont. For here, we’ll stick to fitness…

And back to the lady “doing” Dish Delicious for me – the PASSION in her voice for both that book and another one SHINES out – which is what I WANT.

I dont want bland narrations based upon accent alone, I want DEEP PASSION!

And so long as the English ablility is there which it is for this lady, words are clearly enunciated and so forth, thats what counts.

I did not know she was from India until I googled her name, then she said she was, had been living in the US for 12 years, “tried to put on an American accent” – but … etc etc.

I told her to be normal – I told her PASSION is what counts, language ability – NOT accent – we all have an accent of sorts! Normal – natural – plus PASSION is the winning ticket – in all cases!

Like Bruce told me years ago when I was picking up the Southern accent ..

“Your English is better than mine!”

But I’ve got an accent, my 19 year old self protested

“Yeah But it’s a very easily understood – very fluent, easy to understand accent, you dont even notice its there!”

Now of course – different. But learning in the trenches life wise, fitness wise – thats how you do it!

Anyway …

Lesson in all this for you aint a language lesson.

Its something I always knew, but was not DOING.

That being something Jeff Bezos has often spoke about …

“IN business, its dangerous not to EVOLVE”.

And, another sage comment of his …

“We always have to be looking into the future, what was once a tailwind becomes a headwind, you have to adapt, and complaining isn’t a strategy”.

Admittedly, I’ve always looked into the future  – my digital products, the way  I deliver products – very few people in the fitness industry, if any at all – do it this way.

I foresaw the need for “digital” – long before many others, even bestselling authors in their fields – saw it.

But on other things, I’m a stubborn dino!

Video for one, there’s no telling where our rapidly growing youtube channel would be at if I had started videos back in 2018 instead of telling myself “let the world adapt, we’ll market to the Dinos”.

Sometimes, you have to change.

Lets face it, as Vince Palko said in 2020 “The Godfather of Internet Marketing”, hehe – I love ole Vince! – “watching videos, we all do it! Its mindless, its dumb, but we all do it!”

I dont – but PEOPLE do it.

And therefore…

And so it is with audio books etc – but they all still have the dino mentality in them, which will never change!

And that is the lesson for YOU guys – certainly something that will be there in Zero to Hero – Volume Two – whenever that comes out!

And thats it for now. Back soon!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – More great reviews on all the above products coming out very soon – stay tuned! I have them, just gotta email them to you, put it on here, etc etc! BUSY!

Another day, another set of ruffians at the local park.

And while I finished 140 pushups – partly with back to the sun, and partly the other way – I sure am glad summer is here – but I sure WILL have to change my workout timings to earlier provided I still do what it is I’m doing for fitness and not my hill climbs etc.

Working out in blazing heat and humidity, I aint no stranger to that, but it dehydrates you, and it isn’t ideal in terms of achieving your best results EVERY time you train. Yes, I did it for long periods when climbing the hill ,YES, I did plenty of it – but that was a different goal there, getting to fit status from being a lard ass.

Different goals now, different way to get there!

Anyway – as I moved towards the pull-up area, I wondered if I should do it at all. Ruffians were everywhere, and of course, sitting on the swings is what these idiots like best other than teasing women (think the louts in the bus in The Specialist – which Sly encounters them after they act the fool to an old lady) …

… One of the fat buffoons, with belly hanging over pants, shirt hitched up without him meaning to do it (belly) – he was exactly the sort.

And he was the dude who chanted Tarzan, Tarzan in a feeble attempt (unsuccessfully) to) to distract me.

And to get a reaction. Again, nothing doing.

Stoically, perfect form, the monkey bar work continued, and most of the guys just gaped in astonishment (they were all clustered around me were the ruffians).

Nothing shuts people up as quickly as monkey bar work done for long periods of time in perfect form does, nothing makes you look more like Tarzan without the Jane hanging on in ALL regards, trust me on this one. Serious business here!

Anyway, they ruffianed off shortly thereafter.

And just to let you know – why didnt I get that pissed off?

Well, as I said in part two of “Magnetizing money to yourself” (or any result you so choose) which should be viewed in CONJUNCTION WITH THE BOOK “10 Commandments of Successful Sales“, NOT Without, as EXAMPLES of what to do are in it – along with Zero to Hero! – and Gumption galore – its about VIBES.

His vibes were the following, juvenile, immature, idiot, phat phock, do nothing, but he wasn’t necessarily being an ass outright.

Plus, the way he said Tarzan conjured up an image of STRENGTH and virility in his mind.

So, it was like the “Da xing xing” comments I get in China …

(big monkey i.e. Gorilla)

No, moving around like a Gorilla on the ground – although thats super – will NOT get you the same results, so its not there in Gorilla Grip (but its there in Animal Kingdom Workouts, I believe) (and the TIGER crawl and tiger stalk are even more beneficial).

A tiger could take a gorilla any day it chose. Hehe. ’nuff said.

But anyway – there’s more than ONE way to be Tarzan.

Another way is to hang by one arm for ages – on parallel bars, with Jane in the other – or not. Hehe.

That isn’t as far fetched as you would think. See what Sig Klein’s story in that regard was (Gorilla Grip (ADVANCED!!)) – he literally climbed down a drainpipe from the secon storey of a house on fire with lady in the other hand.

Think “cliffhanger” like grip strength …

And its a great workout, and different from doing it on regular thick bars. Watch the video for more, but rememeber, its also a great way to get better at one arm hammer grip pull-ups, which are great to do along with one arm pull-ups of every nature.

Thats it for now.

Train hard, and remember – what is mentioned in Pull-ups from STUD to SUPER STUD WITHIN WEEKS! is what pull-up studs like Herschel Walker, David Goggins etc have used to get to where they were pull-up wise (where they are I shoud say).

If you truly want to catapult yourself to dizzying “heights” no pun intended, at the mighty pull-up – then this is the course you will want to pick up without further ado and delay – again, NOW.

Do it!

And, I’ll be back . . .

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Our Youtube channel and Instagram, as of late are both rollicking from strength to STRENGTH, and this is a great time to follow us if you aren’t already on both – as well as Twitter. Not so much  a FB guy, but who knows where that road will lead . . .

It’s interesting, with all the mind stuff my wife is recently getting into – starting with affirmations of “I’m rich” (which don’t work, period, they have the opposite impact) to tarot cards – to writing things down – to … well, I dont even know, the method switches from day to day apparently! …

Thats one key thing – at least if you do or believe in something (so called believe), STICK TO that something for a period of time, even if you aren’t seeing results instantly – or at all – or even for a long period of time.

If you have true belief in something, you’ll always find a way to stick with that thing, keep it going, ultimately you’ll get results.

Most people dont get this, switching from one “guru” technique to the other in the hopes of manifesting it “nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww” with good “vibessssssssss” when the vibe they’re emanating is the opposite.

Latest I heard was someone asking her about client proposals, and she told them she’d “look” at the proposal and get back to them (now, she has no experiene in this, she’s looking at it from a language/words perspective – and vibes).

Dont get me wrong, magic words that bring you RICHES?

The great Ted Nicholas wrote a book about it in the 1980s.

“Magic words that bring you RICHES”

(I dont believe I ever used a lot of those words, or maybe I did. I dont know. Google the book if you so choose, no, I get nary a dime for suggesting this to you, much like I always suggest the Laws of Compensation by Emerson as a great, great must have read to EVERYONE)

And a lot of it is true.  (in the first book – the Laws of Compensation – EVERY word is so true that it redefines the meaning of true if you get my drift).

But all the magic words in the world wont bring you riches if …

a) the recipient’s mind is negatively conditioned to think of nothing but “prices”, bills, inflation etc. Sad, but thats what most people think – even when the specter of inflation is NOT hovering upon us – and in this case, no amount of magic words will convince anyone to buy anything.

The old philosophy of people buy what they want – period – holds true in ANY economy.

You gotta find a way to make folks WANT it – the money will come automatically , and so fast you’ll wonder “where it came from”.

Like my friend Rueben said about me  back in college when we were discussing girls, and I was more interested in the beer. Hehe.

“When she sees it, she’s going to want it!”

He was right. Hehe.

Second though is VIBES – real vibes.

Think about it, all the sales I made – with no planning, while “tipsy” in many cases – all that money I brought in from 20 minutes of focused work in the morning, some emails in the office, and a few late night calls – so  much so that the other folks got jealous and started to want me to “do more” because “I could” (without paying me for the “more” which led to the ultimate downfall of what was working so perfectly on auto pilot that only a complete fool would mess with it)  . . .

I didnt paint rosy pictures of what could be done IT wise.

In fact, most of the time all I promised the client was what they wanted – I didnt even upsell anything like I do now.

Yet, they kept coming back – as they do now – wanting MORE.

Whats the secret?

It’s the Law of Attraction, except not the version of it thats taught everywhere …

It’s the REAL law of attraction combined with the subconscious mind – FEELINGS trump all, no amount of magic words will change that – now combine the two done right, you’ve got a double winner!

NO amount of artificial intelligence will ever replace the human mind, as I wrote about in another email – for precisely this reason – FEELING trumps all, and brings results, or lack thereof.

And the state of flow I was in at that time, my, it all worked so perfectly.

Until, and Jason Bourne would agree? “.. then it fell apart, as it always does” – except it dont have to in this case!

Third, and this is a secret not mentioned explicitly in “10 Commandments of Successful Sales“, but look between the lines – you’ll find it in every word if you can percieve it.

This concept of “sales and selling being a bad thing” – that is ingrained into most people’s minds (telecallers, anyone? Hehe) …

Even into those minds – minds owned by people that ARE making money – or amazingly enough – SELLING SOMETHING!

It’s only people that dont have money that whine about high prices – or other people making money when they aren’t.

And they aren’t a lot of times because of many things, but one prime factor – and I’ve seen this in my own family all the time, this constant whining of times being tough when they aren’t which penetrates into the subconscious mind and brings exactly those results.

Only those that need money complain about it, as Major General Michael once told me.

Yes, like with my fitness – I’ve been on both ends, all ends of the money spectrum too, and amazingly enough, I was making good money at my job back then!!

Those that want to complain will find a way, excuse, reason to do so no matter what, and their self sabotage shows in their results.

I realize a lot of this comes across as tough talk, but all of it’s “cent percent” as the Brits would say, hehe – TRUE.

Selling is GOOD. Selling gets products YOU need – and want – into YOUR HANDS.

Selling may be annoying sometimes, but it brings home the BACON. If you aren’t selling hard enough in any aspect of your life you’ll have skinny kids, period. (nah, I aint referrng to those that need to lose weight here. Hehe).

Selling is done repetitively. So it should be, we ALL sell ourselves to others daily whether we’re aware of it or not.

Yet, people buy into the “oh, those salesmen, the idiots! It’s OPERATIONS that really counts” mentality!

Dont get me wrong. Operations is damn important, but as I mention in the book, first off, if you’re the CEO of a company – the bottom line matters, which comes through sales, second, often times, as in that company – operations goofs TERRIBLY – and sales is all that keeps things afloat – like it did with me there (we were a startup, operations had the resources, but not the know how…)

(and lots of people dont realize they have this mentality – it shows though in every aspect of their dealing, penny pinching thoughts and actions, etc).

Anyway …

My books will give you fitness results above and beyond what you ever imagined possible, but nothing comes “for free” my friend.

If you want something, you have to invest in it – believe in it – and most importantly, DO the thing.

And if you’re not happy with your current fitness levels, no matter how – then our products will be a great start.

I always recommend everyone to pick up the 0 Excuses Fitness System FIRST, but given the topic of this email, perhaps “10 Commandments of Successful Sales” might be a better bet!

Choose – invest – wisely – and then DO.

And that, my friend, combined with true and REAL belief is all you need.

If you believe, you can.

It’s that simple!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – I didnt even consciously “believe I could” in that company. Prior to that, the only I.T. sale I made was a $7000 project, and I got that without any real training, “thrown in the water” as it were.

Funnily enough, winners find  a way to rise to the top in those situations while the losers sink …

Money is energy, period. Nothing more , nothing less. It’s a MEANS to an end, NOT the end itself. It does NOT come first. Emblazon that into your mind today – its the best lesson I can impart to you in this one. 

Back when I worked THAT job where I worked all the magic I did – that was truly a magic time, which spawed a book about the lessons I learned during it years later  – a book I have not marketed much as well, but a book, that like all my other books is well worth its price – and weight – in GOLD.

10 Commandments of Successful Sales, or 20 actually as the case might be, a golden gem each one of them.

Early on in that job, the “HR” head (who used to sit and drink with me, hehe) used toe tell me about what the boss said about me.

Good, bad, ugly, it was all brought during the drinking sessions, so it should be, brought up, out of the way, and it worked wonderfully well until the sixth month or so when the boss made the one cardinal mistake a lot of bosses do – that being to expect more and more and give out less and less. I explain that at the end of the book too, it’s one prime reason why employers lose some of their best, most talented and productive employees.

But one comment he made stands out.

“I’m very impressed with Rahul! I see an email from him late at night at 1 in the morning, then early in the morning when I wake up … he’s brought in results in two weeks, it normally takes people at least a month to acclimatize …”

(this employer, like many others, a year or so later – like he told my wife, who I was trying to get hired there during my second stint “we throw them in in the deep end”) ..

Those were the days. (well, they still are!) – Lots of beer, lots of client calls, tons of sales made – WHILE in a state you wouldn’t consider “sober” – and business was booming. Hehe. 2008, before the crash I believe, before my marriage, long story.

I still remember a couple of days post joining the company – I had just turned down a lucrative offer from a much larger company. I do things based upon feeling, and this small startup was – and felt – best for me!

It was my birthday, and there was a family dinner scheduled (this was back in the day when family was still sort of family) – and so I left – 15 minutes ahead of time – early.

1.5 hour ride each way, we did the dinner, then I got back to it – late at night, around 1245, I did my client call (which it was afternoon in the U.S. obviously).

And the next morning, the money came in, and that was the first sale for the startup. Plenty more to come said the boss, sure enough, the money flowed thereafter!

Anyway – why do I bring this up NOW.

The comment idiot made yesterday in a censorious tone. (I’ve been doing my best to pronounce censorious with “sh”. Isn’t it interesting how some words in the English language come from French originally – and yours truly cannot refrain from “old school pronunciation” or to correct Marc the African silverback Gorilla when he pronounces balcony as “baaal-cony”. Hehe. ) . . . “you’re always exercising, Rahul!”

Like what my mother says.

True negativity.

Someone’s doing something, you whine about them doing something and getting results, if they dont get results, you whine about them being useless, losers, and “look at all the others, they’re doing so well!”.

Some people just exist to tear down – not motivate and uplift – not my kind of people for sure!

Anyway.

It’s doing the thing day in and day out that counts, that brings ultimate results and too many people ignore this.

It’s easy to lose track of goals after the initial ra ra’ing and so forth.

It’s easy to get frustrated, despondent, and give up when results are not on the horizon, and fitness wise, especially if you’re starting out from “couch potato” or “tub of blubber” status which many are – combined with the fact these people are usually inherently LAZY (dont feel bad – as Jeff Bezos said, that is a human trait – along with the tendency for the mind to seek out 1000 reasons for NOT doing the thing as opposed to the one reason FOR doing the thing – this is another one of those traits the human race “evolved” to make things easier on themselves).

This combination will mean plenty of tough times when you first begin on that fitness journey, my friend.

In fact, even if you aren’t lazy, this applies big time.

When the going gets tough, most people either stop doing the thing – or give up entirely – or switch paths to “something that feels easier and better”.

On rare occasions, this might be (the last) a way to “temporarily” work around things.

Most of the time, it’s a cop out, and you’re headed straight for failure if you do that.

Bottom line is this – fancy crap aside, there is no substitute for DOING THE THING – day in, day out, come rain, hail or shine.

And this is one of the central tenets of the “10 Commandments of Physical Training” (and life, really) – laid out in Fast and Furious Fitness, 0 Excuses Fitness, and while not explicitly mentioned in my other books- it’s there in each and every one of them.

Whether you choose to implement and take the winner’s way out is of course up to you. I can but advise, I cannot “drag” you to the water, neither would I want to.

That horse must WANT to drink, forcing it never works.

Other great news – Animal Kingdom Workouts will soon be available in Spanish too – already out in Portugese, I believe.   (Advanced, PROFOUND Isometric and Flexibility Training – next one on the list I think). (We’ll see)

Great job, Marco – and “Gerson” … both of y’all! I’ll have to update the pages on that one …

And thats that for now. Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Living in the flow doesn’t mean “do the thing if you want to”. It means do the thing day in and day out in the flow. Set a goal, let it sink into the subconscious, then follow the orders the subconscious mind imparts. It’s that simple. Of course, thats why the self help gurus make it way more complex than it’s supposed to be . . .

Read Zero to ..HERO! for more on this. (and Gumption Galore! for a lot of real life lessons on weathering and bettering – ultimately – tough times). I’ll have more on this subject later, but its always brought up during my coaching session, so if you’re interested, apply NOW.

An old Hindi song I listened to in the school bus on ice cold wintry days (we used to wear shorts back then, British style – does this date me?? Hehe) translates as such

“I’ll keep going, I’ll keep going, never got any support, but I’ll keep going” …

“I’ll keep going because the HEART wants me to … ”

And thats the spirit, pal. thats the spirit!!

’twas 1:22 PM, spring’s in the air, summer’s almost here, I was so relaxed you could have knocked me down with a feather, damn near!

This relaxed state persisted throughout my workout – which today was another one of those  rigid form workouts – 90 pushups, 10 pull-ups -the ab movements I showed up -grip work – and walking – and lots of stretching.

Its one thing to touch the chest to the floor and go ALL The way back up during pushups.

its quite another thing to do both of those things, and then some, and only those that DO – and do regularly will “Get it”  and it’s only for those people, truth be told honestly.

Ruffian pauses, “says hi”.

“Now your time is starting!”

I didnt quite understand initially. HEhe. Then I got it.

“Right, I laughed”.

122 PM, 8 minutes to go!

And he’s right in that regard.

I said thank you!

Then he told me how “I should thank you” i.e. he should thank me – which flummoxed me . . .

“I watch you do, now we do every morning”, he went.

You mean, you started after watching me do it – I asked.

He replied in the affirmative.

I’ve no idea if he’s serious, but I believe he is. These vibes cannot be faked, and if I can inspire even RUFFIANS to start doing the thing, well, my friend -those on this list that are still procrastinating, making excuses, hemming, hawing, neighing, naying, whining and so forth “not” to get Pushup Central, or that product you’ve been putting off God knows why- you know the product, hehe – then if THIS does’t inspire you – you dont need to be on the list, period.

And I wouldn’t want you on it. Period.

I’d like people with a PULSE, feeling. Hehe. Hey I’m being flat out honest here!

And thats fine. Horses for courses, to each his own …

Now, why Pushup Central? 

Because my pushups, rather than pullups as you might believe, and given they’re so tough for most people I would not blame you for thinking that way – are what inspire people the most.

Those high rep pushup workouts, one after the other, non stop … Chest to the floor, perfect form, all the way back up …

THOSE inspire.

They always have since childhood, I was always into pushups, my Taekwondo teacher – and anyone with any sense – knew that.

Stretching, not so much – hehe. Thats changed now though.

Anyway, was a great, bliss filled day, and half of it remains. I am truly coming full circle, especially with the Bengali ladies clustered around giggling away, reminds me of HK in 2003, guy stops me in the middle of the road, doesn’t know me from Adam, starts speaking Bengali to me.

Some things, vibes, cannot be faked …

Thats that.

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Even yours truly fails to inspire SOME people. Like dude who keeps complaining about wanting to do pull-ups, but is too lazy to try. I’ve long since blocked him out of my life, but I see him sometimes, today I did , I was trying to avoid him, but thankfully he left after a LOSER like comment, truly, this comment spells out the word LOSER – incarnate.

“Always exercising, Rahul!” went in a censorious tone, he reminded me exactly of my mother saying that … right down to the tone.

And his lack of achievement in any sphere of life shows this.

All good, takes all types … Hehe.

“Darun”… the ladies went. Means superlative! Hehe. (yes, I know  way more languages than I let on to . . . )

And, what ruffian said was the greatest honor ever. Thats what this is all about, inspiring, and if you skip a chance after reading this to start not just doing, but inspiring, I mean its one thing to “do” – yet another to INSPIRE! … then, not sure what to tell you except you dont have a pulse. Motivate, uplift through ACTION should be the order of the day, so many people miserably fail at it.

Everyone is coughing around me – including my little daughter, whose been going for MONTHS literally coughing – though in her case it’s more indigestion, addiction to the dumbphone which is just increasing as she grows up -the wife yells at her for it, but thats all she sees, the wife herself is so into the dumbphone! – digestive issues from chowing down on way too much junk and a lot more …

I so miss the handstand pushup days with her – perhaps thats  one reason little Finn, all of three years old and probably that tall too, hehe struck such a chord. I was telling my daughter about him last night, about how she was just a bit taller than him (age of 5) when we first did handstands together in 2018…

Memories, memories, she’s changed a LOT – daily – but given all the influences around her, well, that happens.

Not to worry.

She has her father’s mind.

And she will ULTIMATELY learn – and triumph over all, which is what counts.

But anyway.

Mom’s sick. Dad’s apparently sick. everyone else I see is coughing away “to glory” as they would say in ole school ole Blighty, hehe.

WTF?

Here sitteth the dude with the so called worst habits, the caveman who was told he’d die by 30 if he “kept it up” – and so forth.

The guy whose medicine cabinet doesn’t even have Paracetemol – I dont even HAVE a medicine cabinet, I only remember getting sick once in 2016, once in 2017 – and then I walked to the store, got what I needed, within 2 days – back to normal!

Same thing most of my life – I rarely fall sick, when I do, its bad, but I recover quick.

Now, how – with my habit – do I stay so healthy while all around me are “falling like spades”?

Or dominoes, depending on …

Well, my HABITS.

Yes, my pushups. Yes, my fitness routines. Yes, my deep breathing. You already know all this though! Yes, the 0 Excuses Fitness System, but what you might not have thought about – my OTHER HABITS!

Mentally for one,  I dont prepare to fall ill by stocking up on meds “in case something happens”.

I expect never to fall sick no matter what – and I dont.

If I do, I’m secure in the knowledge that my MIND will conquer all, I’ll get better if I do fall sick – without medication, with nothing but a lot of water to flush the toxins out.

My sexual habits – yes, ABSTINENCE is something you probably would not associate with me, especially given the other biz, the girls and all that, eh?

Yet, abstaining is something I highly recommend for all males if you can handle it. Ask old school boxers, wrestlers, yogis, anyone you trust about “why” – or ask me – but suffice it to say – you will attract what you want – in all spherers of your life SO MUCH QUICKER AND BETTER – on auto pilot – simply by adding this ONE trick into your lifestyle – DONE RIGHT.

Getting frustrated is NOT the way to do it right, by the way.

That way, you might as well not consider it.

The sheer bliss of abstinence, and the HEALTH benefits, I could and (hey, idea for new book!) write a new BOOK on it.

Let me know if y’all on THIS list are interested, and will do. Hey, I’ve already written one for the other list!

Third, my cold water showers.

Trust me, what doesnt kill you will make you stronger, mentally, there are FEW, if any things – LESS pleasurable than an ice cold shower in the middle of winter -when you’re living in what is essentially (not my choice for now, but it is what it is, until … well, I’ll get into that later) – an unheated “ice box”.

People call me crazy for doing it, wife pretends not to notice, but she does . . .

Believe me, the way it affects your metabolism, the way it changes how you digest FOOD – the way it JOLTS your entire system in a good way, especially immune -I could write a tome on it.

I’m fully aware most of you reading this will pooh pooh it, and say “thats for yogis” or what not, and thats fine, but remember – if you truly want health that is UNPARALLELED in terms of what is considered to be healthy these days (apparently “just a runny nose” is fine!) , then you do things no-one else does.

You put yourself through pain willingly so you emerge out on top – VICTORIOUS. It’s as simple as that. Do the things that make you uncomfortable. Do them daily, regularly, and get good at them to the point you dont even feel or think of them as uncomfortable or if you do, you dont care – and thats when you know you’ve got a ticket to the REAL races – a winning ticket.

My tea – green tea.

And a host of other little things, mental being TOPS which everyone ignores …

Maybe I’ll write a book about my lifestyle!

But y’all know it already.

Probably better to write a book about my much storied life – but I’ve written a lot of that already. Hehe.

Believe me, its been nothing but adventure for the most part.

Anyway – this sort of lifestyle – and the benefits dont come “free” – and I dont mean money.

You have to sacrifice a lot for it, most aren’t willing to take the first step, and again, thats fine.

Now, where does this leave you reading this?

Certainly, you dont have to deprive yourself – and go without your cold beer – or hot showers – or women – or men – or in betweens – or the trusty ole “hairy palm” for some of you, or any of that.

Eat what and all you like – within limits. Simple as that.

I’m hardly a saint myself my friend.

But there are things you can do, daily habits you can form that REALLY help, and you’d be very well served to incorporate some of the above into your life as far as possible – not for me, but for YOU.

Do, and experience, and then get back.

And fitness wise, the 0 Excuses Fitness System builds ingrained habits in you that you’ll find hard to break free of even if you “want” to, and that is truly a great, fantastic, superlative thing.

Learn what the fuss is all about here – right HERE.

And that’s that my friend. Back soon!

PS / Edit – Fasting (periodically) is another huge reason. So many more, but sexual abstinence done right for prolonged periods – fasting x 10 and then some, do BOTH … well, you get the drift. I’ll write more on this later, of course.

I’ll always remember one of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s quotes – “when it’s tough, what are you going to do? Are you going to be relentless, or are you going to give up?”

Relentless, of course is a buzzword at Amazon and part of their core principles along with “customer obsession” (yes, till this day. Bezos may no longer be handling day to day issues at the company, but he’s still the Executive Chairman (with actual power -unlike some of the other board members – I forget his exact title, but it leaves him a lot of actual power at the company should he choose to return to CEO – and I dont blame him for structuring it that way – his baby basically! – and his thoughts in terms of how the company should be run are still very much being followed from what I can see..) …

And he isn’t the only one that has said this – not the only doer by far.

Henry Ford and his quote about an airplane taking off AGAINST the winds – not “with the wind”.

Napoleon Hill and all his teachings on persistence – and keeping on DOING the thing – which I believe we covered some of that yesterday.

A quote from Pete Lillo, famous baseball player stands out too (not that I’m a baseball guy, cricket more like – haha) –

(I still remember Chris, a friend at USM telling me about “if I wore a Dodgers sweatshirt, then I should be supporting them!”.

I didnt even know who the Dodgers were at that point. Hehe).

Anyway, quote was about relentless REPETITION.

“You cannot go wrong”, I believe was the gist of the quote, if you keep DOING The thing without any second thoughts no matter what.

It’s something that has been repeated often – including in the famous Napoleon Hill story (true tale) and book “Three Feet from Gold” where he says most people fail simply because they give up too soon when the going gets tough.

He includes the actual story of a prospector who is prospecting from gold, finds some initial returns, but then those dry up.

He tries, tries, tries – and eventually gives up, selling the contract or whatever it was to a guy that sold junk for a living.

This guy took it to an engineer, found out that the fault lines for the gold lay like three feet from where they gave up.

He went to work, got the gold, got rich(er) beyond his wildest dreams!

“Young Darby” who was the nephew of the Uncle that initially started the project and gave up “three feet from gold” took this as a learning experience.

And years later, when he became a famous insurance salesman – he had this to say “my experience taught me this – I will NEVER stop asking no matter how many times men say NO”.

And hes right.

Relentless repetition is key to UNLOCKING levels of STELLAR AND SUPERIOR achievement at anythin – fitness, life, biz, whatever it is.

Let me tell you this right now, fitness wise, the HARD yards are what count.

It wasnt easy hiking those hills in hot, humid weather – for hours a day.

It was hard as fuck.

And I could easily have given up in the middle – missed a day – and so on and so forth, especially when there was a chorus of voices around me actively telling me to take it easy and do so.

But I didnt.

I HAD to do it – I was DRIVEN.

One foot after the other, the sweat pouring off me, the sun beating down – sometimes I felt like one of those ancient slaves might have! Hehe.

I remember the Undertaker’s slow and steady walk to the ring as I made my “nth” trek up that hill – and back down and up again – and the feeling of “I did it – again!” – after returning home to A/C, soggy shoes falling apart (it seemed I was buying new shoes damn near every month!) – and cold water, 1.5 liters of it down at a gulp.

I didnt whine about it being tedious, or boring.

At times it was, but I also knew that was what would bring results, and KEEP the fat off long term.

Same thing with my pushup workouts, and why there are so many of them on the channel already in this short timeframe.

I dont piss and moan about it being “too easy” (if it is I make it tougher) or “just pushups” (the simplest things work the best). I don’t fall back on the lazy man’s excuse of “you need more WEIGHT! to build more muscle”. Utter tosh my friend, and the sooner you realize that the better off, and less LAZY you will BE.

I dont whine about it being boring, trust me, there will be days you will be sore, too tired to do the thing – and so forth.

Are you going to wimp out, or keep going?

The answer to this one question will determine where you’re headed fitness wise, my friend.

There is simply NO alternative to the hard yards so many people avoid and try to make excuses for NOT doing.

It’s about relentlessly moving ahead in SOME manner, making each workout better in SOME manner, constantly pumping out the reps no matter what – and going from there.

Relentlessly DOING the thing, day in and day out when no-one else is putting in the hard yards is what ultimately brings home the winnings and the BACON.

As Muhammad Ali once famously said, the match is won out there on the road – Far away from the lights and dazzle…

And he was right. Spot on.

THAT is how winning in any sphere of life is done.

And if you’re a real winner fitness wise, you’ll want to pick up the System true champs all use – the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

Along with that, make sure and grab some of our other books too – specifically, 16 Inspirational Fitness Recollections for a shot – big time – of MOTIVATION – and Pushup Central and Squat 101. 

The above are a bare minimum for anyone claiming to be seriously interested in their health, fitness, and taking it to previously (hitherto) unheard of levels.

Alright, thats it for now.

Back soon.

Best,

It’s been an interesting day today – right from the start – till the end – the dreams I had that as usual were “premonitive” (is that even a word??) – and all that showed up in dreamland happened a few hours later – like clockwork, when I least expected it . . .

The Ruffians showed up again in the park, but they didnt pester me today. One parked his ass down next to me while I was doing pull-ups, but he quickly scooted off thereafter. Yay!

Anyway – as I watch the much vaunted Aussie (as of late) philosophy of “horses for courses” backfire so spectacularly in the first Test against India – IN INDIA – which is such a tough endavor even for a top team like Australia that they call it “Mission Everest” or something similar – two thoughts ring out in my mind.

First, why the Aussie selectors didnt stick with their time and tested philosophy of playing the best players no matter what is beyond me.

True, horses for courses works – SOMETIMES.

But the best players are always also the ones that adapt best to conditions, foreign and alien conditions as well – while the “horses” might not be the best.

You have to have faith in your best, and stick by them.

And two, I’m sure they’ll bounce back – here’s to a very competitive next Test!

How does this fit into anything fitness wise?

Well, fitness wise, and life wise – so many ideas I’ve had – have been trolled roundly and criticized by all and sundry when I FIRST came out with them (good thing, as I explained in no less than THREE videos on “Tell the world what you’re going to do but SHOW IT FIRST! – I didnt “ask for permission” first before doing it – once I did it – people loved it, and still do!) – and later became extremely successful.

Pushup Central, Squat 101 – people whine a lot about “just pushups” or “different books for different body parts – why” and so forth.

A lot of this whining is trolling and price wanking, so it doesn’t deserve mention, but sometimes, often times, the best ideas are ones even customers dont know they “want”.

Believe me, if I had asked people about “should I write Pushup Central” – the reception would have been lukewarm at best.

Why just me?

Amazon, that megamoth of a company – started out selling books.

One day, Jeff got the idea to ask 1000 randomly selected customers about what they’d like to see him sell – OTHER than books.

Varied answers came back – thick and fast.

One guy even wrote in saying he wanted windshield wipers, because “he needed them like now”.

Lightbulb moment for Jeff, and the rest is history.

Yet – some of Amazon’s biggest money spinners like Amazon Ads – AWS – or even Prime? (#3, #1, #2 – in that order) – were NOT ideas well received or even “recieved” at all initially.

No-one even thought or believed next day delivery was possible until Amazon DID it.

No-one similarly, would believe that pushups are an all in one workout – or, those that want to do “only pushups” (though you should do more!) – can – and still be super fit in all regards.

Horses for courses, choices, more choices for people is the way I see it, is the way I’ve always seen it, and will always see it no matter what.

Plus, you’d have to be an utter fool like Glyn to say “just pushups”.

Truth is I could write a book on each of the different variants of pushups and squats I’ve written about, and still have more to write – there always is!

Anyway – that bit of brain dump aside …

I speak of keeping your cards close to your chest always and often. a

I speak of “tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW it first”.

There are many reasons behind this – energy drains being #1.

Often times, TALKING about it takes the place of doing it. Think about the times you were really excited to do something – you yapped on and on about it before doing it – at the time of doing it, where did that energy go ?

Can we say deflated balloon???

I’ve given you examples in the long talks I did on this today – which got interrupted – both by people and the internet so what was supposed to be “one video” turned into three, and so forth.

Then, the subconscious mind – and the effect OTHER subconscious minds have on you when YOU announce your intentions to the world.

Believe me,  my friend “Go and tell no man” is the way to do it, as Claude Bristol wrote about in the Magic of Believing.

Then, you have those who wonder if its OK to tell their life coaches their goals and all that.

Well, if its someone like yours truly whose actually DONE – himself – what he says he has – and is offering you coaching – then by all means yes.

We WANT you to succeed here.

But we dont molly coddle or tolerate BS like a lot of the other so called “self help gurus” spouting affirmations that dont work (“I’m rich!” being the biggest lie out there) do.

We kick ass and get you RESULTS, any other way simply wouldn’t work – either for us or you – fitness wise, life wise, or whatever you want help with.

It’s hard to know who’s on your side at the best of times. You’d be amazed to find out what best friends – family etc – REALLY think about you.

Jeff Bezos once said your reputation is what people say about you when you’re not in the room.

He’s right, but I Take it one step further – what people really FEEL about you deep down inside, sometimes they dont even know it themselves until it emerges …

Anyway. Lots to watch on the channel today – including a lot of new workout videos. Enjoy!

Sternum pull-ups and muscle-ups coming soon in the future – maybe before even the books are out. Speaking of which I really better make some headway on all the books I’ve got pending – so many of them!

On that note, I’m out – ah, but in terms of getting products here – the 0 Excuses Fitness System, for instance?

Rather than yap on about “I’m going to do it, going to get it” to all and sundry, and then never getting it – its far better to say that to YOURSELF repeatedly until you DO IT – and THEN you tell other people – ONCE you get in the habit of the program.

Remember, habits are hard to break – good ones as well!

And thats that.

Be sure to pick up the System, watch the videos, and as always, get back with questions.

See you guys around !

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

It’s interesting that I mentioned Fast and Furious Fitness in the last email my friend.

The sales page for that book makes mention of RUFFIANS – and rightly so.

You know what I mean by ruffians, right?

Those idiots that sit out there in the park with nothing better to do than stare at people, ogle women, make snide comments under their breath, gossip up a storm about “what that dude is doing” – observe people like me like you would a movie star, right down to the color of clothing and type of fuckin shoes I wear, exercises I do (except you know they will never do it themselves, and it irritates the heck out of me, I’ve no use for that kind of person – losers incarante basically).

Sometimes I wonder if these people even do any work or mooch off their wives etc – a substantial portion of men – so called men here – in this area i’m at – do just that!

Ugh.

I put out a video on this a few days back .. .

But anyway, these ruffians are also the sort that show up where you are – the minute you start working out, they show up, guffawing for no reason, hee’ing and hawing, and so forth, and of course – doing the one exercise attracting the most number of ruffians – the pushup (closely followed by the pullup).

The way these ruffians mangle the pushup. UGH!

Three of them were out there yesterday doing their version of buffoonery while I worked out – and kept my distance – and calm – and cool.

The English language was apparently new to them also, and they kept saying “hey man!” from afar, trying to catch my attention, but no dice – not that I showed them.

One started doing horrible pushups as I said on the livestream. Just a disgrace, flopping up and down like a slim version of a beached whale, chest 30% to the ground, and he did “100 reps” that way, his arms moved like an inch maybe in the pushup.

They did all they could to get my attention, when they saw they weren’t getting it, they took off.

Before they did, I couldn’t resist telling them how to do pushups, so I did. a

“You dont do pushups like that, friend. You go all the way up, down”, I said, and showed them.

Why the HELL does the mighty pushup attract so many loon and losers my friend – it’s annoying as heck!

Then again, the way it’s potrayed in movies, common culture, where rep counts hold “sway” – pun intended – over FORM!

They made a biopic on the great Indian sprinter Milka Singh, and while that movie had some great training montages – running uphill with ankle weights (sprints) – plyometric pushups – and more – one scene in which they show Milka pumping off 100 pushups is utterly ridiculous, not even one of those pushups is done slow and steady, chest all the way to the ground and back up.

(apparently it was also a contest to see how much clarified butter he could down after 50 pushup sets. Dont ask!)

Really, get form down pat FIRST my friend. Reps & rep counts come LATER, and are never the most important, form is always #1 and deep breathing!!

Back to the fools though –

They fell silent, and then babbled about “we do them at the gym”.

Really?

Dont seem that way, fellas, but what does Mr Pushup Central know, eh.

Today this set of 3 loons cornered me again at the entrance to the  park.

“You’re late, bro!” one yapped.

Ugh.

I HATE it when people call me bro – especially people that dont know me, or barely know me – now my friends and close buddies – thats different.

Pet peeve, but I was in a great mood, so grinned back.

“You’re very observant”, I noted. And they were right, I was late.

I was running around from pillar to post, like a hobo – or homeless man looking for a place to rest his head.

Except, I was looking for a proper place to take some pull-up videos on a regular chinning bar (no thick grips etc) (no thick bar either) … just a regular chinning stand without apes and buffoons following my every move like Mary’s little lamb followed her and staring at me as you might a movie star. Ugh. That gets old real quick!

i found it, took the videos, but it took some time.

Ruffian #2 said I was half an hour late.

“Oh no”, I said. Maybe 15 minutes.

But upon thinking about it, ruffian was right, it was closer to half an hour than 15 minutes.

This of course is a prime example of Schofield like ruffians and buffoons who waste their time on social media, prance around the park talking rubbish to the DOERS – who waste their time observing and talking when they should be and could be DOING.

Just think, if he simply silently followed me from a distance.

There are no words for the great contempt in which I hold such people, do nothing’s, sit around in the park, yap all day, accomplish jack nada.

Outward though I was in such a sunny mood that I almost saluted the Ruffian, and almost said the following –

“You’re an outstanding citizen!”

Inside joke for those that get it.

Anyway, the point of 0 Excuses Fitness is to get in great shape – not to show off.

But people have gotten to such a level that even basic things that EVERY man should be able to do like for instance 5 solid pull-ups, chin over bar in ONE set – and I’m sorry, if you can’t do that, you’re simply not a real man or strong enough … or maybe at least 15 good pushups – preferably 25 – or monkey bar work – are enough for them to stop and gape “oh my Gawwwwwwwwwwwwwwd look at himmmmmmmmmmm”.

It’s pathetic what so called men have become, buffoons in general.

Of course, global leaders aren’t any better – just look at the State of the Union address a few days ago where Joe Biden gave yet another prime demo of why he’s the person MOST unfit to be President in the history of the United States of America.

Mike Pompeo, you cannot take over quick enough!

I’m out.

Be sure and be a DOER, not a “sideline gawker” my friend. Pushup Central is the book you MUST grab to catapult yourself to the ranks of elite when it comes to the pushup, and to get good at pull-ups – start with the info given in “Pull-ups from DUD to STUD within a matter of WEEKS!” – and progress from there.

Rome was not built in a week, but you’d be damn surprised at how quick you CAN build it if you stop vacillating, dilly daddling, wasting time, procrastinating and so forth – and rather – just – DO!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

I’ve no idea where that number came from in terms of the Marines, and it being used extensively in terms of the number of reps per set a Marine should be able to do – repeatedly, over and over again – out there in the hot sun (or cold waves if you’re a Seal) – with weight on – sometimes without – when you’re exhausted and haven’t slept/eaten for days – and so forth.

Like the pull-up done RIGHT, a basic test of fitness – even in the Army I suspect.

Today’s workout was mostly – for me – sets of 20 x 6 “Marine style” – or boxer pushups – which I detail how to do those in Pushup Central. one of the most brutally effective pushup styles out there, they make you breathe hard and heavy, and SWEAT – especially if you’re out there in the SUN – and they are likely the ones Iron Mike used to do in set of 40-50, I believe – not the “Tyson pushup” that is commonly attributed to him.

Nothing beats the regular pushup, Ive often said that – lots of people place great emphasis on table pushups, reverse pushups – so you should.

Those, especially the latter, are prime tests of fitness and how long you can go without stopping.

(and fat or lack thereof around the midsection).

But you never ignore the basics, the regular pushups, never ever …

And 20?

While you could drop and possibly give me 50 in perfect form the first time (not most people, but those that can) – the next sets won’t be that easy ultimately. Between 20-25 in perfect form is what you’ll find you can crank out mostly – and while you could do more maybe, that number for some reason, like “500” in terms of overall rep counts is GOLDEN.

I said in Fast and Furious Fitness that EVERY man should be able to do slow and steady perfect form 25 pushups, regrettably very few can. And thats just the basic pushup..a.

Anyway, I got in 201 pushups all in all, this was after filming the pull-up videos, and 20x 6 + I believe … 15x 5 plus a few odds and ends here and there, and there it was.

And thats how to do it.

Day in and day out, hard and heavy – keep hitting it!

And, never lose focus on form and breathing – as you can see in the video tutorials on the pull-ups, breathing is PARAMOUNT. That exhale truly does rocket you up when combined with the mind muscle connection done right.

All for now.

See y’all soon!

Oh, if you’ve STILL not gotten Pushup Central (like some people on this list have not), just what the heck are you waiting for?? Quit being someone whose content to stay on the sidelines or someone content to be a cheapass and let the world pass him or her by, or whatever the reason is, this is truly a book every serious fitness trainee must have on their bookshelf. Get it NOW!
