The Apple Vision Pro

Lots of hoo haa about the latest brain killer – the Apple Vision Pro. When will idiots realise their brains can do infinitely more than this useless gadget – for free? And does without you even knowing it?

Ah but that would require thought. Haha.

I’ve never even been a fan of Apple phones anyway. I don’t see the infatuation – I don’t get it – given Androids can do far more by shelling out a lot less. Yet, the myth of Apple, the brand persists…

This vision thingy is some sort of moronic virtual reality device – and the buyers, well, if you need a device to create or curate reality for you, you’re a complete loser and moron my friend. I’m just being frank.

Dumbphones have killed the imaginative faculty of most brains out there more than the TV did..

And now they’re applying the coup de resistance, literally.

Simply get a device to basically visualize for you.

“Blend in the real world with the virtual”.

Let me ask you this – when you see a beautiful woman or handsome man or whatever you’re into – or a nice juicy steak, or that car you really want – do you really need a goddamned gadget to see and feel yourself in the car – on the woman or man – eating the steak no pun – not in that order?

Does the “chaos of the world” affect your thoughts at this point? This device claims to “replace the clutter of the world with beautiful environments”…

Why my friend?

I don’t get it.

Maybe you do, I don’t know.

But I’ll stick to visualization – which is what created this damn product anyway.

And that’s that.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

 

“I want to see the best of what the Universe has to offer!”
- Sage!

I don’t follow a lot of motivational speakers etc – even the few I love, such as David Goggins. The vast majority of so called beads, chains, mantras and amulets self help nonsense “don’t get wet in the rain more than twice on Sunday, feed the ants sugar on a certain afternoon, goggle at Saturn or what not – et al, the list of BS goes on and on and on) which most fall for and prefer because it’s “easy” – well, we all know my views on that …

Not because their stuff doesn’t resonate with me but because I’ve LIVED what they say – talk about – sometimes if I need a “pep talk” I will, but all of these stuff these guys say I can relate to like it’s my own life.

Andrew Tate is a guy Ive heard a bit of and every bit of what he says resonates with me big time.

If you want to be like someone, be as rich as somone, follow their thinking patterns, their lives, what they did to get where they are. Everyone has to struggle. Tate’s no exception to that rule. Neither is Goggins.

Or any true doer.

What really hit me about the Tate videos I saw though – one was so personal that I did a video of my own on it.

“Let her leave you”.

In it he talks about the rage he felt when a relationship he cared about fell apart – couldn’t focus on nothing for days – etc etc.

Man!

2015, as I’ve said so often before. That was me. I took that rage, and translated it into becoming the bodyweight exercise Guru. One climb became two, which became three, then 4 per morning – work – 2 at night – for years.

I had to work myself into a state of exhaustion so I wouldn’t be thinking of her. That was an unconscious decision I took.

I did.

And the compliments started coming my way.

“He’s lost so much weight so quick”!

More girls. More relationships than I could handle. The same girl I was still so much into would call me at 530 AM to wake me up – break up?? Hehe – and we would hold together. I’d still talk dirty to her on occasion. Haha.

I’ve been into fitness all my life. I wrote Fast and Furious Fitness in 2010. I communicated with Brooks Kubik and other guys in 2003. Yet oddly enough I never really, despite a blog back then – thought of creating my own fitness biz back then which I well could have. Brooks question about if I was in the military when I told him about my hill climb (just one at the time – but it resulted in the famous Rahul’s hill walking workout from China email to his list and inspired a couple of his own hill related emails – he was in Kentucky at the time which has hills galore) …

Despite Ann Lee kicking my ass. Hehe.

It only happened because of what happened in 2015. And importantly, my REACTION to it.

(But in terms of my running around with bevies of women during my younger days when I really should have focused on biz, especially with my well paying regular expat jobs in China – well, the Universe has a grand plan for us all. That running around resulted in my other businesses today and the talks I give on motivation, self help etc. All from the trenches – straight from the fucking heart my friend).

I did not sit around, mope, go to pieces as most guys would.

I put that rage to work. I didn’t even take the decision consciously. I just had to do something!

And I did it.

Results, well – they speak for themselves eh? But again, my REACTION to that situation is what counts as well as countless other hurdles I’ve faced in life and continue to – and welcome. They make me even harder!

Might sound odd but adversity is a friend, in many ways one of the best friends and teachers you will ever have. Welcome it if it comes.

Remember too, the old Napoleon Hill saying “every situation, every adverse occurrence has a seed of an equivalent of greater benefit”.

Not the flower of full blown success, but the seed from which the said flower can be made to germinate.

No, not just mere words.

They are true.

I should add “IF you take the right action” and know how to find that seed (which you will if you take the right fucking action) …

Most will just read this, yawn, scroll past.

And never accomplish anything in their sorry lives and that’s fine by me…

Then what he says about paying attention to your last thoughts before lopping off to bed, and your FIRST thoughts upon waking up. I just wrote a tome on that one on the other business before I heard the video. Tate’s spot the fuck on. Those are the things you manifest on auto pilot, that you care about so deeply you get it without even thinking about it consciously. Flow!

The other thing he said which I understood, but I worded it different until now ?

Wake up in the morning and say this to yourself.

“I want to see the best of what the Universe has to offer”.

This morning, upon arising, in fact in bed for 40 minutes or so (like Churchill, I’ll often work from bed sometimes – minus the cigar haha) thinking about various issues – I was getting a bit “ticked off”.

And then I used these words.

Remember, this is the guy whose written Zero to Hero – lived by what’s in Gumption Galore – and so forth. People, a certain Terrence included are using my adaptation of the popular saying “it is what it is” (I’ve always found that to be self defeating – I say it is what it is FOR NOW ie you can and will change “what is”) in their own motivational talks …

Yet, I used those words. Remember, I admire Tate, Goggins, hard men like that.

I’m nowhere near becoming a multi billionaire – as yet.

Therefore when people that have lived my way and eventually gotten there – I shut up and listen, even though I could add a thing or two on to what they say, and they wouldn’t mind because it makes perfect sense. And then implement, do.

Instantly as I said these words, my mood lifted.

I didn’t know why. Checking a few businesses, payments etc – I got it. A biz that I’ve been working for years finally looks to be getting off the ground financially. Results! More on the specifics of that later, that’s not the point here.

Tate talks a lot about listening.

And he’s right.

People give me all the excuses and bs about different body type, I’m big but not fat etc for not being able to do pull-ups – something even my most ardent detractors know I’m damn good at. Better than 99.99% of folks out there. That don’t mean I rest on my laurels. I’m out there improving form daily!

Yet, they want my results.

But they won’t shut up with their retarded excuses and DO.

Just buy the damn book already. Then this one.

Ah yes.

How dare I ask you to spend money?

That’s the ice cream stand, beer store and Netflixs prerogative right?

Tate gets that too.

A multi-billionaire, when he asks for 25 GBP to teach people what he knows – the whiners show up in hordes.

Hilarious if you think about it…

And so it is for the whiny lot here (there’s a lot) that secretly follow all I do, yet somehow never have money to get the product and therefore my results.

If you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way to get it.

Those whining about money oddly have it for all the things that really don’t matter ..

And if that’s the way you choose to live life, you gotta remember, your results will be along those very same fucking lines.

Anyway. . .

Put the cynic aside in you.

Get the products above..

And wake up every morning, and say that line out to yourself.

It will change your life, along with paying attention to your last thoughts before lopping off to bed and what you FIRST think of – that very initial thought – upon arising.

Pay attention to and actively decipher your dreams too. Write that shit down. I don’t care if you gotta wake up in the cold to do it. Just do it !

My new site on dreams is in the works as we speak.

And my old favourite rahulmookerjee.com, well, I’m still unable to access the admin area of that one. Gotta fix that soon too…

Last but not least, remember that action is what moves mountains – not just nodding the head which anyone can do.

You can say the above line or 10000 more until the cows come home with enlarged mammaries (sorry Sophia, hehe) (Tate was talking about being called a pyschopath as many of us doers are) but it won’t manifest a damn thing until you actively look for the ACTION to take to achieve that desired result and then do the damn thing no matter how crazy, uncomfortable or outlandish it might seem.

Just do it.

In the words of the immortal Ralph Waldo Emerson “do the thing, and you shall have the Power”.

And that says it all. His Laws of Compensation are a must read, along with Claude Bristols the Magic of Believing and pretty much a of Napoleon Hills writings.

No, you don’t know it all.

No, that’s not just “that stuff” or the Secret or what not. There ain’t no secret as Goggins has rightly once pointed out. The laws of the Universe are out there in the open for us ALL to use. Like Tate said, its a very giving place too – you just have to ask and prove you deserve it – most do not deserve it due to being lazy whiny losers.

Yeah, that stuff really matters.

Ask any doer, you’ll see.

Stop being a loser and get the books above,bread, implement what’s in each and every damn one of them, mine included.

And that, friend, is truly that. . .

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Mid back mania

Over the past few years I’ve been stressing the importance of doing both pushups and pull-ups. Lots of folks feel that since the pull-ups is overall way tougher – pushups are not required. Wrong.

I found this out the hard way back when working out for Battletank Shoulders. I was doing 100 handstand Pushups and 100 plus pull-ups per workout but no floor pushups.

Easy I thought. Imagine my shock then when after a few months I did 15 – gasp – regular pushups – and I felt it in my lats whole showering!

Over the past few weeks I’ve been really zeroing in on form on everything as I look to ascend to the next level. You keep improving. Even the bodyweight exercise Guru and Mr handstand Pushup – is no exception!

While doing Jack la lanne pushups this morning, man – I felt muscles along the side of my spine – mid back, right by the spine I hadn’t in years apparently – as I focused in on form and keeping my bubble butt down as much as I can. Hehe.

Muscles that you’d think are taxed in the pull-up and they are.

But not to maintain perfect balance and a stiff core. The two are different.

Pushups tax the mid back heavily – an area not heavily taxed by pull-ups, although they work the entire back.

And if you’re having trouble keeping the core tight, chances are excellent and second to none this particular area of your body needs to be strengthened as well. For me it’s a weakness on the right side of the spine. Something I only found out today. Like I said, we keep learning!

And that’s that my friend.

Lesson – do not ignore Pushup Central my friend.

Pullps are a must. Not because they look glamorous but because they build brutal upper body strength you simply couldn’t otherwise.

But don’t neglect walking because you run and or vice versa.

Same thing here.

And that’s that!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Pushups, splits, forward bends I keep stressing as opposed to the more glamorous back bends folks go ga ga over all strengthen this region.

Deep breathing and such…

I’ve been seeing a litany of posts as of late from folks that lift hard at the gym – some right, some not.

A common thread with them seems to be “illness”. Specifically sinus issues and such, muscle aches that dong get away, rhinitis, and other aches and pains…

Now, most will never admit that heavier and heavier weights in the gym, even if done in proper form are BAD for you.

Just ask Brooks Kubik. Drug free 500 lb bench press. He got to the point on e where he couldn’t lift his arms up to our his shirt on, so blown out were his shoulders from the almighty bench press.

The latter pulldown is even worse. Yes, ladies, it gives you lovely back spread, muscle etc – men too – but these same folks cannot in most cases do handstand Pushups and pull-ups.

A female Japanese powerlifter I’ve been chatting with (yes, extremely feminine – simply lifting don’t mean she’s “manly”) – said the same thing.

She could probably bench me. Hehe.

But, illness, body pain etc – I advised her to do some outdoor running and deep breathing for her ailments (described above).

Unfortunately Madam wants to take pills so she can get back to lifting asap. She said hiking etc was “easy” for her.

My!

I still remember the girls giggling at me as the pang lao wai (fat foreigner) huffed and puffed his way up that now famous hill in DG as Ann Lee just glided on up it seemed…

But i really think she’s missing the point.

Muscle wise it’s easy for her.

But deep breathing that bodyweight stuff induces – specifically pushups and squats – hiking – that’s the real key.

Sweating outdoors, running outdoors breathing in the fresh or even polluted air – it’s different from lifting in the gym.

Pushups are the one exercise along with squats that induce a lot of heavy breathing.

Not saying weighted squats don’t, but they only do so for very short periods, and they lead to injury long term. Period.

Point of all this?

Stay away from the meds.

Martin Farmer Burns was right when he wrote about deep breathing making many a weak man strong and sick man well in the Lessons of Wrestling and Physical Culture – a timeless classic along with Emersons laws of compensation, Claude Bristol’s “The Magic of Believing” and Napoleon Hills Think and Grow Rich you MUST read. No, I get nothing for promoting those books. I’m simply doing it to help you – those that will listen that is.

My, my fingers seem to be nigh flying on the dumbphone today!

Anyway.

It’s well known that I rarely, if ever, despite my other vices (cigars, beer, cigarettes etc – no, whiners, I ain’t saying that’s good or asking you to do it or advocating it – I’m just being honest – we all have our vices. Most let them control them. I control mine. So, I’m “allowed” to indulge) fall sick.

I attribute this to many things, but most of all – my core training. And,.my bodyweight routine.

Get the core ready, you can handle anything. Spot on, Herschel. Spot on!

Others that eat three meals a day, run on treadmills, lift heavy etc – not the case.

Without exception the ones that don’t incorporate some form of bodyweight training in their routines – aka DEEP breathing I talk so much about in the 0 Excuses Fitness system. One tiny hint in the videos – not mentioned in the book – be sure to pick that up – immensely helpful. Panourgias from Greece and a few others caught it. Most won’t!

(That’s when you can tell somone really values what they’re paying for. They read it, listen to it, watch it – over and over again. My books are not novels you read once and put down. No, you learn something new every time you read them!).

They’re called manuals for a reason.

And that, my friend is truly that. Lots of lessons above.

I’ll let yall figure them out!

Power Walking , Running and more..

Walking, my friend – is a highly underrated exercise. Like pushups, most people think “it’s too easy”. It’s anything but especially if done right.

For years, I did walking up hill for hours a day and it got me into the best shape of my life.

Sitting here in this here neck of the woods with NO hills and very few inclines around, my thighs feel swollen – calves worked to the bone.

Squats? Yes, sure.

But running, roadwork, builds the entire body, especially the legs – differently.

Walking on the other hand is a much more calf intensive activity if done right.

All three activities mentioned above build the whole body and should well be included in any decent fitness regimen.

If you’re getting beat up with too much roadwork daily, switch to stretching and long walks the next. Maybe weighted, maybe uphill…

Do squats and pull-ups the next day.

And so forth.

Keys to include some form of heavy duty leg and back work in your training daily my friend. And core, grip – the former gets done with leg and back most of the time. The latter, if you’re doing back right.

And that’s that.

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Animal like workouts can give you the workout of your life in very little time and should be included as well. Find out more here.

Pushup lesson straight from the dream world

I’ll probably head on back to bed after this short one. No pun.

Another night of dreams – my. Lovely ones all of them, in between someone I know getting a “bruiser” (black eye – long dream story) – one of my favorite sportspersons of all time Big Matt the Bat showed up.

Massively built back in the day Aussie opening batter that literally pummelled and battered bowlers all over the ground.

He was doing fingertip pushups.

Now, dreams as I’ve said before aren’t meant to be taken literally my friend. “Big Matt” in the dream is a symbol. Fingertip pushups probably a premonition of the upcoming workout later…

But I noticed something off.

He wasn’t doing them wrong.

But, there’s always a way to make pushups tougher. Like I say so often, I can make 10 pushups tougher than a 100.

And there in the dream, I moved my hands down to my waist – or fingers in this case – as “Matt” shook his head “too tough”.

Which it is if you do that.

The more you move your hands towards the waist, the more your forced to focus on form, core and lower back – while your thighs and upper body get a hell of a workout too.

Try this one – and tell me.

Yes, pushups are a full body workout. That’s just one of the lessons drummed into you in Pushup Central, the 0 Excuses Fitness system and such.

And that’s that for now.

Back to dreamland,. literally.

Rahul Mookerjee

Is a strong grip “just required” for sports?
- No.

Lots of folks have this erroneous thinking that a strong grip is required “just if you’re into sports, or are an athlete – or so forth”.

The reverse couldn’t be more true.

I’ll always remember a famous Sly Stallone comment where he once said he would judge – no pun Dredd hehe – potential suitors characters (he has three daughters) – by their grip.

It might sound silly, what he said. But it’s not. A mans grip can tell you a LOT about him if you can “feel” what I’m saying here. A firm handshake, and so forth. Goes a long way!

As he rightly said – “Grip it like a MAN!”.

Tommy, a guy I used to work with back in the day and supposedly with some basic wrestling training in Turkey – once made an interesting comment when Alan our supervisor, discussing our severances – or about to discuss mine, at any rate – made the comment about my grip “he truly has the strongest grip here”.

Alan and his comments on my grip. And the “limp” expressions he often made with his hand – legendary. Hehe.

Tommy responded by saying “grips good, but you need so much more”.

Bear in mind he wasn’t exactly in the best of shape himself.

And this was a guy who famously got into an online fracas with my buddy from the Marines (I won’t get into details) but discussing it with the African Silverback Gorilla – I still remember what he said.

“Have you seen the arms on that guy!” (Referring to my buddy – bear in mind Marc himself was no slouch in that regard).

“Those guys are killers!” He made the comment about him – while making a dismissive gesture in terms of Tommy.

Later on when I finally did meet the towering giant I’d later be friends with, he made the famous and true comment about my “unnatural pull to my grip“.

Coming from a guy who’s about five times in size, wrestled in high school, did all the brutal training required of him in the Marines – swims regularly – does sets of 20 dips as a regular workout and so forth – that was something. Hehe. And true!

That and the equally famous comment about who was more brutally honest – Trump or me.

“By no means a foregone conclusion” was his response when I said ole Donald had me beat there by far.

He’s right. Hehe.

Anyway… All great guys, great memories.

Grip is something you build almost as a side effect if you’re a Marine – sportsperson – athlete -and so forth.

Sure it’s not the only thing required – but it’s damn important.

Play tennis for a week, you’ll see what I mean in the first regard. Your serving hand grip will be a hell of a lot stronger than before even without specifically training grip.

Or wrestle. Greco Roman, Olympic, Turkish, Indian, Russian, even Iranian. I don’t care. The Iranian old-school wrestlers wrestle each other with their bodies swathed in oil.

Try gripping upper arms and waists that are slick and hard to grip in the first place, then picking folks up and throwing them around etc. You’ll see.

Point of all this?

A strong grip is a must for everyone.

It could even save your life someday.

Yes, I’m not just referring to Sig Klein.

I’m referring to everyday heroes – the unsung ones – one mentioned here.

That’s truly some trippy ass shit, Holmes!

And yes, John. Spot on. Grip training is truly as important as breathing my friend!

Like I keep saying too – we only know what we are truly capable of when we really “have to”! That’s why I keep saying, never rest easy. Don’t take days off. Keep the hustle going – in ALL regards!

And even if you’re not out there trying to save lives in split seconds on cliffs at precarious heights – or carrying heavy fire hoses etc – let’s face it, a strong grip comes in damn handy if you gotta shift furniture up and down stairs – carry Grandma to the bed – no pun please – or simply hoist your girl up in your arms – hehe.

Or, opening them hard to open jar tops.

Or, just carrying groceries or crates of beer, hehe – or AC compressors – up and down flights of stairs.

Or just toting 20 liter bottles of water up flights of stairs. Still remember Brooks Kubik and me discussing that when I brought it up.

“Good idea! Fill them wth sand as you get stronger…”

All everyday stuff my friend.

Those middle aged ladies in China that do it, or the tiny Chinese massueses that massage all day long – poking and prodding the hell out of you while you squeal in pain if you’re the average person – haha – can teach you a fuckload about grip too. Mentioned in 0 Excuses Fitness...

And from the guy with an unnatural pull to his grip that can take men down more than three times his size and much more accomplished in many regards – my courses on grip training get you there.

Click on over here – and here – and here – if interested.

Snap up the courses NOW. Much more in the offing Jeeves.

Then get to WORK on the exercises..

Remember too, you don’t put the cart before the horse.

And thats that.

John Abraham had it spot on.

Exercise these days in addition to the “I’m big not fat” and gym bullshit has descended these into Selfie City Central..

In China, I still remember Bozo Schofield pestering me daily about “how many girls wanted your wechat today”.

Ok, we all know many did.

Not near as many know how much it irritated me. Sure, it’s very flattering to be compared to a movie star, porn star, whatever the hell it is, but that’s not why I did those four long excruciatingly difficult hikes daily for years.

It’s a battle daily, my friend.

A competition against yourself.

You’re never too good to learn or improve.

“Don’t worry about the girls! They’re all hot and sweaty there too” was my roomies response to my not working out near as much as I should when I was 19.

I wasn’t. I was more conscious of myself – how I’d look in comparison to the Bozos preening in the Jim…

“His camera angles suck”.

“The photos are terrible”

Yeah.

Maybe.

But pretty ain’t what we are about. It ain’t real life. Neither is it fitness.

John Abraham, Indian movie star was once asked by another movie star and yogini Shipla Shetty about how he felt about folks constantly asking for selfies when he was training.

His response – classic.

“My gym is my temple”, he responds. “You wouldn’t ask for these selfies if you saw me praying at a temple, would you?”

(Mosque, church, whatever it is).

And that says it all, my friend.

Keep doing the thing.

Always remember to stay hard.

And thats that.

Truly what 0 Excuses Fitness is all about – has always been, always will be.

Take it or leave it.

The choice – and the associated results or lack thereof – is also YOURS.

Rahul Mookerjee

Strong women.

Strong – mentally and physically – women can be, often are INCREDIBLY feminine.

Not to be confused with weak Nazi feminist women.

Try that on for size.

So says the bodyweight exercise Guru. And is true. Always about vibe as I keep saying.

Lots has been made about women that train hard being butch and such. Doing it because there are so many weak men around. And such.

There’s more than a smidgen of truth to the weak men part – but to say that’s why women train hard? Bullshit.

I’ve gone on record saying women are often far better at one of the toughest exercises ever – pull-ups – than ego inflated “I’m big but not fat” idiot beer bellied men.

Far more willing to learn.

Same thing for isometrics, planks etc. And really speaking, other then regular pushups in high reps, I cannot think of a single bodyweight exercise females can’t do just as well, or outperform men in.

And it’s true.

And no, bigger arms doesn’t mean she is less feminine, just like being tall isn’t a bad thing for women. Hey. I get to buy a ladder to talk to her! Hehe.

Try that one on for size.

And that’s that.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

Truly pressed for time?

Fitness wise, carve out at least an hour daily for your routine my friend. Like Akshay Kumar rightly said – if you can’t do that, might as well kill yourself. He applies the same standard or more to himself, before folks start whining.

Listen to why he’s saying what he is, not the shock impact of the words.

But if you truly don’t have much time? No I ain’t talking about lazy phocks here. This message don’t apply to the vast majority of Bozos out there that have all the time in the world to yammer on the phone for hours, stay on the dumbphone from morning till night, travel Selfie City and other crap..

It applies to people for whom time TRULY is a constraint.

Everyone’s got at least FIVE minutes.

And if you really can’t spare more than that?

Squat.

And do dead hangs.

Stretch – especially the hamstrings and upper back. The thighs.

Especially squats. Work the legs, you work the entire body. Like Steve Austin once said, even if you ain’t doing nothing else – Squat, I don’t care, you’ll grow even if you ain’t doing nothing else.

All of this can be done in less than 10 minutes and get the heart thumping if you do it RIGHT. I just did 100 squats while waiting for my water to boil – and my, that heart thumped!

These will get you a long way along the fitness road even with minimal time investment.

Zero excuses mofo!

Speaking of which – that’s why I named it that.

10-15 minutes of your time daily is all it takes my friend.

Start today.

Stop making excuses.

Invest in the program today.

And get started on the road to getting you in the best shape of your life – today.
