Intro

One of my high school teachers once told us the simple keys to success. He was talking about Roger Bannister, the first man to ever run a 4 minute mile. Everyone thought it was impossible and told him hed never do it. But he didnt care and kept practicing. At the end of the day, accomplishing goals can be broken into 3 simple steps:
1). First you have to do good
2). Then you start feeling good
3). Then you start looking good
I don't care if you're trying to lose weight, be a better parent, learn a new language, or find a new job. You have to take the first step, which means you have to take ACTION. In time, consistent action will lead to confidence and a strong self-image. Then eventually, you, and those around you, will see results.

Who This Is For

This is for the average guy who wants to lose fat and build muscle. Its for the busy parent, the entrepreneur, the guy who wants to help others. He needs the physical strength to accomplish his goals, but also the discipline, fortitude, mental toughness, character, and self-respect to handle lifes most difficult tasks.
Whether that means turning around a struggling business, volunteering with young kids, or raising a growing family, having a solid physique in addition to the inner strength to blast through lifes obstacles and challenges is the key to success.
The ideal reader doesnt want to be a pretty boy fitness model nor a bodybuilder. He reads popular mens health magazines, is interested in technology, and photography, and current events, and sports. He is tech savvy and forward thinking, with aspirations and ambitions for himself and his family. He doesnt want to spend hours a day in the gym. He looks for efficiency and fitness hacks to get him the most results from his workouts.
Heres the thing, most products focus on getting ripped, and this will show you how to do just that. But the way I see it, you dont walk around with your shirt off all day. You DO meet people, solve problems, create plans, help others, encounter obstacles, and live a full life. So why not focus on not only the physical benefits youll get when you workout, but on the confidence and mental toughness you gain as well? Seems like the best of both worlds to me..

My Story

Like most 30-something guys with kids, I have a very busy life. Heres my typical day: An hour-long commute to and from work. Helping my 5 year-old with homework. Giving the kids baths. Putting them to bed. Doing dishes. Hanging out with the wife. And going to bed.
I love working out and used to be heavily involved in martial arts. But I just couldnt keep it up with this crazy schedule. Ive been wanting to get back in shape for quite a while, but never had the time to go to the gym consistently. Once I hit 30, I was terrified that I would get the dreaded skinny fat body type. You know what Im talking about. Skinny body with a pot belly.
I wanted to get my lean, defined, and muscular body back, but not having enough time was my biggest excuse. Truth is, I mentally gave up. I still wanted to get ripped, but it didnt seem like it was going to ever happen. Because I didnt think I could fit it into my schedule
I know for a fact that lots of guys can relate.
I did a lot of research and came to realize that guys who want to get ripped need a specific type of workout.
