IF

Happy Monday!

How are ya feelin?

If it’s one of those days where you feel like you need to get your diet back on track …

… and you’ve tried different approaches, but none have them have ever really seemed to work long term …

I recommend that you give this a try:

FEED THE BEAST – Intermittent Fasting (IF) plan

You see, instead of trying to RESIST the urge to EAT (in what for majority of people is a life-long struggle) …

… the premise of the FEED THE BEAST diet is to EMBRACE this, and instead build our diet AROUND it.

It’s my personal go-to approach when I’m trying to get lean.

The core of the approach is based around a daily cycle of 8 hours of eating, and 16 hours of fasting.

That’s right – you eat all of your calories in an 8 hour period. Choose a time frame that works for you. You can start at 9am and finish at 5pm. You can start at 12 noon and finish at 8. Or whatever. And it does not have to be the same 8 hours every day.

During your fast period – do not eat 🙂 No caloric beverages, no alcohol, no food. Non-caloric beverages – like water, tea, and black coffee – are fine during the fasting period, but again, no calories of any kind.

More specifics on how to set things up – like how to calculate daily calorie needs, properly tweak as you go, and 18 100% done-for-you meal plans designed by a registered dietitian that tell you EXACTLY what to eat and when to eat it – see the full program below:

FEED THE BEAST

If you’ve tried different approaches to get lean, but none of them have ever really worked, think about why … and this approach starts making a LOT of sense.

PS – FEED THE BEAST is backed by substantial science. Just one recent study – done at USC at the beginning of 2017 – showed that fasting reduced risk for major diseases:

CORE Kettlebell Elite (42 day program, work with Forest personally)

UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY

I am running a pilot program starting NEXT WEEK, and am looking for 3 people to join.

You see, new book, “The CORE Kettlebell Challenge”, is coming out early 2019.

And so I’ve decided to run a final test group in conjunction with putting the finishing touches on the project.

In this pilot program, I will coach you through the CORE Kettlebell Challenge program personally over a 6 week period. You will gain strength, build conditioning, challenge your body and mind, and MASTER the basics of KB training.

We’ll meet personally every week during the program.

You’ll also be coming to group conditioning classes at my gym at least two more times per week.

And you’ll be following my new, special diet plan so that you can optimize your results.

If you want in, click the link below, fill out the contact form with “CORE KETTLEBELL ELITE in the subject line, and I’ll get back to you ASAP:

Unconventional Pre-Workout Herbal Supplement

This week we have been talking about recovery as a part of optimum performance.

Today I want to shift gears a little and rap about your PRE – workout routine. This is another huge part of doing your best and getting the most results.

For me, the pre-workout routine includes hydration, nutrition, and supplementation.

A good pre-workout supplement can boost your performance BIG time. With more energy and focus, you can lift more weight, run faster, force more adaptation, and get in shape faster.

However, a lot of the popular pre-workout formulas out there have a ton of stimulants and chemicals, and are really not all that good for you.

But I have found a great alternative. It is called Hercules Pre-Workout Formula. Here is all what it includes:

– Polyrhachis Ant Extract – this tonic herb from China has a great reputation for providing instant energy and being potent for bedroom performance health
– Cistanche – this herb is sometimes called “cistanche in your pants” of “the stalk enlarger” as it is said to not only increase performance in the bed but even size. As discussed with top herbalists the yang energy needed for intercourse is the same as for working out. Thus, a top yang jing herb like cistanche is crucial for this blend.
– Maral Root – although few people in the west are aware of this herb, it has a fairly extensive history in Russia and the surrounding areas
– Rhodiola – has strong effects on the symptoms of stress-induced fatigue and thus recovery from both physical and mental work
– Cordyceps – are considered a remedy for weakness and fatigue, and are used as an overall rejuvenator for increased energy
– Shilajit – appears to work directly on the mitochondria in your cells, helping these powerhouses to produce more energy

Lost Empire Herbs is also an awesome, down-to-earth, family-owned (a friend of mine is the co-founder) company who puts out the highest quality product AND will treat you right with their great customer service.

Take it 15 minutes before your next workout, and FEEL THE POWER!

REGENERATE Squat Sequence [pics inside]

I tell you what – I am FEELING IT today after the Spartan Beast a couple of days ago!

No serious injuries though. I’ll be taking it easy this week, and then getting back into hitting it hard next week.

So let’s rap a little more about recovery today.

One thing that helps me IMMENSELY is some simple yoga sequences.

When I was playing football in Green Bay, they brought in a yoga teacher for restorative sessions every Friday in the off season, and I tell you what, it helped big time!

And I’ve incorporated some basic moves into my overall routine on a regular basis ever since.

Thing is, a lot people also don’t have the time or inclination to take a full 1 hour+ yoga class. But they still want to get the recovery and core strengthening and even mental / relaxation benefits yoga offers.

That’s why I came up with REGENERATE.

Here is a sequence you can try:

#

REGENERATE Squat Sequence

*Hold each pose / stretch for 60 seconds

*Do this sequence to help you recover from KB Squats, Barbell Squats,
Lunges, or any other knee dominant exercise.

Couch Stretch (60 seconds per side)

Cossack Stretch (60 seconds per side)

Seated Spinal Twist (60 seconds per side)

#

Interestingly, there are one of two reactions when I share this REGENERATE stuff with people.

1 – “This is amazing! These sequences are helping my recovery and workouts in every way”

or,

2 – “I already know all these stretches”

If you are person #2, listen up.

This is not about the uniqueness of the specific stretches.

The program is designed around the idea that you are doing specific stretches, in a specific sequence, to help you recover from specific workouts.

So if you just did squat – heavy workout session the day before, the sequence I shared with you today is going to help you hit those muscles that are going to MOST need it – hips, quads, groin, etc.

Make sense?

Try the sequence I shared today, and see if it helps.

Also you can try out REGENERATE here.

To your success! –
