People look for the shortcut. The hack. You won’t find it. The shortcut is a lie. The hack doesn’t get you there. And if you want to take the easy road, it won’t take you to where you want to be:
Stronger. Smarter. Faster. Healthier. Better. Free.
There is no easy way. There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline.

Discipline: The root of all good qualities.
The driver of daily execution. The core principle that overcomes laziness and lethargy and excuses. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that say: Not today, not now, I need a rest, I will do it tomorrow.

To me, it is not about nature or nurture: It is about choice. The people who are successful decide they are going to be successful.

They make that choice. And they make other choices. They decide to study hard. They decide to work hard. They decide to be the first person to get to work and the last to go home. They decide they are going to take on the hard jobs. Take on the challenges. They decide they are going to lead when no one else will.

You have control over your mind. You just have to assert it.
You have to decide that you are going to be in control, that you are going to do what YOU want to do.
Weakness doesn’t get a vote.
Laziness doesn’t get a vote.
Sadness doesn’t get a vote.
Frustration doesn’t get a vote.
Negativity doesn’t get a vote.
Your temper doesn’t get a vote.
So next time you are feeling weak or lazy or soft or emotional, tell those feelings they don’t get a vote.

Me? I am weak, in all those ways, I am weak.
BUT I don’t accept that.
I don’t accept that I am what I am and that “that” is what I am doomed to be.
NO. I do not accept that.
I’m fighting.

That is what I want you to be afraid of:
Waking up in six days or six weeks or six years or SIXTY YEARS and being no closer to your goal … You have made NO PROGRESS.
That is the horror. That is the nightmare. That is what you really need to be afraid of: Being stagnant.

How do I handle those days when I’m just not “feeling it”?
Those days when I am tired or worn out or just sick of the grind …
What do I do on those days?
I GO ANYWAY. I GET IT DONE.

Don’t really want to work out? I work out.
Don’t really want to hammer on a project? I hammer on the project.
Don’t really want to get up and get out of bed?
I GET UP AND GET OUT OF BED.

Now—these could be signals that you need some time off—and those signals might be right.
BUT—don’t take today off. Wait until tomorrow.

I don’t like procrastination. But if you feel like you need a break—that is one thing you should procrastinate.
Taking a break is the one thing I put off until tomorrow.
And if—when tomorrow comes—you still feel like you need rest or you need a break—then go ahead: Take it. Chances are you won’t.

The most important thing to learn is that we have so much to learn.

How do I deal with setbacks, failures, delays, defeats, or other disasters? I actually have a fairly simple way of dealing with these situations, summed up in one word: “Good.”

Oh, mission got canceled? Good. We can focus
on another one.
Didn’t get the new high-speed gear we wanted?
Good. We can keep it simple.
Didn’t get promoted? Good. More time to get better.
Didn’t get funded? Good. We own more of the company.
Didn’t get the job you wanted? Good. Go out, gain more experience, and build a better resume.
Got injured? Good. Needed a break from training.
Got tapped out? Good. It’s better to tap out in training than to tap out on the street.
Got beat? Good. We learned.
Unexpected problems? Good. We have the opportunity to figure out a solution.

Accept reality, but focus on the solution.

Don’t worry about motivation.
Motivation is fickle. It comes and goes.
It is unreliable and when you are counting on motivation to get your goals accomplished—you will likely fall short.
Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be.
Don’t count on motivation.
Count on Discipline.
You know what you have to do.
So:
MAKE YOURSELF DO IT.

How to engage gossip: “I heard you had some pointers for me about how I’m doing my job. I’d love to get your feedback so I can tighten up my game.”

Outwork and outperform every last one of them.

Life is tough. But it gets a lot easier when you are laughing at it.

PHYSICAL TRAINING
There is one time of day that no can take away from you: predawn.

When the alarm clock goes off — get up. Put on your pre-staged clothes. Brush your teeth and go get your workout on. Hard. Get done, shower, get dressed, and begin to crush your list of tasks for the day.

Since sleep must be a priority to maintain health, how can we get enough sleep and still wake up early?
The answer is simple: Go to bed earlier.

Going to bed at 10 p.m. and waking up at 5 a.m. gets you a solid seven hours.
Go to bed at 9:55 p.m. and you can get up at 4:55 a.m., still get your seven hours, and be up before the enemy.

Getting a hard workout in the early morning will not only energize you during the day but will also make you fall asleep faster at night.

The key to getting to sleep early is GETTING UP EARLY.

Do it every day. People ask me if I still get up early on the weekends. YES. For a bunch of reasons. Obviously, the weekend is only two days so I want to get up and take advantage of it. I get up early, get my workout done, and complete any must-do tasks as quickly as possible. That allows for time to relax and enjoy without things hanging over your head. The other reason I wake up early on weekends is to keep my sleep pattern consistent.

Don’t break the cycle. Get up early every day. If you need extra sleep, take a power nap.

Power naps: goal is to elevate the feet above heart and sleep for ten to fifteen minutes before lunch. Lie down on the floor, put feet up on the bed.

What should a workout actually consist of? The most important thing to do is SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

My workouts are divided into some broad types of movements: Pull, Push, Lift, Squat. In addition to those, the workouts focus working the “Gut” and metabolic conditioning (MetCon).

Martial arts: Start with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. It is a form of grappling that is highly advanced because, for the most part, the actual fighting takes place on the ground. This is a key point, because our first form of self-defense is to get away—yes, run. If you are confronted by another person or a group of people, the best thing you can do is run away: avoid the conflict. This is relatively easy if someone is trying to strike you with punches or kicks. They do not have control over you, so you can simply run away from them. You have won.

The problem comes in a self-defense situation when someone is grabbing you. Now they are preventing your first line of defense: Running away. As soon as someone grabs you, you are in a grappling scenario, and one of the most critical parts of Brazilian jiu-jitsu is escaping from someone’s grip so you can run.

Oftentimes, an attacker will take you to the ground in order to prevent you from escaping their grip. When this happens, the ability to ground fight is used not to stay on the ground but to get up and get away from the attacker. The first goal of a beginner in jiu-jitsu is not to get the fight to the ground, but to get up off the ground and get away. This is an important distinction from people who believe the goal of self-defense in jiu-jitsu is to get the attacker to the ground. This is not true. The goal is to get away.

In areas where there might not be any Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools, judo is the next best replacement. The Russian art of SAMBO is also an extremely effective grappling art with an emphasis on leg locks.

There are other martial arts that can be good to look into such as Krav Maga and Systema, both of which focus on self-defense as its primary mission.

If the martial art you are training in is easy, it isn’t likely doing you much good.

Stop eating sugar.

It is better to eat what we have evolved to eat — that is the diet of Paleolithic man or caveman. Here is what that diet consists of:

Eat these:
• Beef (preferably grass-fed)
• Poultry (preferably free-range)
• Fish
• Eggs
• Nuts
• Vegetables
• Fungi
• Roots
• Some dairy (full-fat butter, cream, yogurt, cheese)
• Limited fruit

Do not eat these:
• Grains (wheat, rice, corn)
• Potatoes
• Refined salt
• Refined sugar
• Processed oils (margarine)
• Legumes

YOU DON’T HAVE TO EAT.
Fasting is a gift. All those times you are at a party or the airport or on a train and they don’t have any good, healthy food for you to eat, the answer is simple:
DON’T EAT.

In this age, much of the food around is actually trying to kill you.
It is poison.
Donuts? Poison. Soda? Poison. Potato chips? Poison. YOU DON’T NEED IT.

Humans can survive thirty days without food.

Here is a nice little warm-up:
Hang on the pull-up bar for 10–15 seconds. Get in the push-up position and hold it for 10–15 seconds. Drop your hips to the ground and stretch your abs. Lift your hips to the sky and stretch your hamstrings and your back. Stand up. Do a slow squat and sit at the bottom for 10–15 seconds. Do a burpee. Do a few jumping jacks.
Now go back to the bar and do one pull-up. Drop down and do a push-up, then do a slow dive-bomber push-up. Stand up and do a slow, full-range-of-motion squat. Follow that up with a burpee, then five jumping jacks.
Now repeat the cycle again, doing two repetitions of each exercise and ten jumping jacks. Then do the cycle with 3 repetitions of each exercise and 15 jumping jacks. Continue increasing repetitions until you get to 5 of each exercise and 25 jumping jacks.
That is a solid warm-up; the blood is flowing.

Workouts – BEGINNER SERIES ONE

PULL
Primary Work: 8 sets of max pull-ups. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
Gut: 2 minutes of sit-ups
MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times

Directions: If you can do dead-hang pull-ups, do as many as you can each set, and then add 3–5 kipping pull-ups to the end of each set without dropping off the bar. If you can’t do any pull-ups at all, then use the ground or a stable box on the ground to jump up and get your chin over the bar. Once your chin is over the bar, hold yourself there as long as you can (negative repetition).

PUSH
Primary Work: 8 sets of max push-ups. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
Gut: 2 minutes of leg-raises, 10–45 degrees
MetCon: Max burpees in 2 minutes

Directions:  Vary the width of your hands: from 6 inches closer than shoulder-width to 6 inches farther apart than shoulder-width.
If you can’t do any push-ups at all, try doing them from your knees instead of toes. If even that is difficult, try leaning into a wall and see what you can do there.

LIFT
Primary Work: 8 handstand holds. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
Gut: 2 minutes of V-ups
MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times, max effort

Directions:  Do not do handstands until muscle failure, but to muscle fatigue. Count how many seconds you hold the position. Use a wall to balance yourself during the handstands. Try not to rely upon it too much.
If you cannot do a handstand at all, get in the push-up position with your feet touching a wall. Walk your feet up the wall and walk your hands closer to the wall. See how close you can get to vertical. Walk your feet and hands back down. Repeat that 8 times.

SQUAT
Primary Work: 50 forward lunges for each leg, alternate legs with each repetition.
Gut: 1 minute of crunches, 1 minute of reverse crunches
MetCon: Max burpees in 2 minutes

Directions: Your knee should brush the ground on each lunge repetition.  If you reach muscle fatigue, take a 2–3 minute break. Repeat until you have done the 50 lunges.

Workouts – BEGINNER SERIES TWO

PULL
Primary Work: 5 sets of pull-ups, maintaining reps. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
Gut: 2 minutes of sit-ups
MetCon: Run 400 meters 2 times

Directions: Maintaining reps – for the first-set workout, do your maximum set of pull-ups. For the remaining 4 sets, do as many pull-ups as you can, and once you drop off the bar, give yourself a 10–15 second rest before jumping up on the bar and doing more pull-ups until you reach the same number of pull-ups that you did in your first max set. This is called a “broken set,” meaning you cannot perform the required repetitions, so you take a quick break and then continue.

PUSH
Primary Work: 5 sets of push-ups, maintaining reps. 2-3 minutes rest between sets.
Gut: 2 minutes of leg-raises, 10–45 degrees
MetCon: 2 minutes of max burpees

Directions: If you cannot do full push-ups, do push-ups from your knees. If you can’t do push-ups from the knees, do push-ups against the wall.

LIFT
Primary Work: 5 handstand negatives
Secondary Work: Arm circles, side, front, overhead
Gut: 2 minutes of V-ups
MetCon: Run 800 meters, as hard as you can

Directions: Get into the handstand position and lower yourself as slowly as you can. Use a wall to maintain your balance. Once your head reaches the ground, drop your feet to the ground, stand up and rest for 2–3 minutes, then do it again for 5 full repetitions. Once that is complete do 1 minute each of arm circles to the side, to the front, and overhead.

SQUAT
Primary Work: 20 sek jump squats, 20 sek squat thrusts, 20 sek lunges. Rest 2 minutes. 3 rounds.

Workouts – BEGINNER SERIES THREE

PULL
Primary Work: Pull-up pyramid
Gut: 2 minutes of sit-ups
MetCon: 4 x 100-yard shuttle runs. 2–3 minutes rest between sets.

Directions: This workout is recommended when you can do at least 5 pull-ups. Pull-up pyramid: 1 pull-up, rest a bit, 2, rest 3, rest … repeat until you cannot beat your previous number. When you miss your previous number, drop off the bar, shake it out quickly, and then get up and complete the set. Now come back down the “pyramid” by decreasing 1 pull-up from the previous set. If you can’t do all the pull-ups in a single set to get to the required number, do the required number in a broken set.
For the shuttle runs, mark a start line and then a line at 5, 10, 15, and 20 meters. Start on the starting line and run to the 5 meter line, touch the line, run back to the start line; repeat this for the 10, 15, and 20 meter lines. Keep your time. Complete 4 sets. Take 2–3 minutes between sets.

PUSH
Primary Work: Push-up pyramid
Gut: 2 minutes of V-ups
MetCon: Run 1,6 kilometers (1 mile), hard

MetCon: 4 x 100-meter shuttle runs (5, 10, 15 & 20 meter). 2–3 minutes rest between sets.

Directions: This workout is to gain strength and some endurance in your pull-up muscles. Set a timer for 1 minute of work and 2 minutes of rest. During the 1 minute of work, do as many pull-ups as you can. These will likely be broken sets. Make the rest during the work set as short as possible (5–7 seconds) before jumping back on the bar and continuing to do pull-ups until the minute is complete. Once the minute is over, rest for 2 minutes, then do another minute of pull-ups. Repeat this until you have done 5 sets of pull-ups.

For this workout go into the handstand position using a wall for balance. Stay there as long as you can without reaching complete muscle failure and falling onto your head.  Repeat sets until you have reached a total amount of 5 minutes.

SQUAT
Primary Work: 50 forward lunges for each leg and 50 squats
Gut: 1 minute of crunches, 1 minute of reverse crunches
MetCon: Max burpees in 2 minutes

Form and technique are absolutely critical. Sacrificing proper form will not make you stronger; it will only make you injured. Attending a live, hands-on coaching program by a professional for these lifts is highly recommended prior to these workouts. If you cannot perform these lifts with strict technique and form, DO NOT DO THEM. YOU WILL GET INJURED.
Begin snatching 3–5 repetitions per weight. Increase weight toward maximum 5–20 pounds each lift, looking to reach your maximum in approximately 8 sets. Once you have missed a weight 2 times, switch to the clean and jerk. Continue to add weight in 5–20 pound increments until you reach your maximum, which you are trying to do in approximately 6 sets. Once you have missed 2 clean and jerks, switch to the deadlift. Continue to add weight in increments of 10–50 pounds until you have reached your maximum. Once you have reached your maximum, do 2 singles at that weight.
