I just noticed a middle aged lady do it, by all means and by far she aint the only one. 

I have no idea why, but even physically NOT unfit people (note I didnt say fit) - I've often seen them climb, even one flight of stairs, even if that flight of stairs has like three stairs - by "grabbing" on to the railing for support. 

For dear life. 

To someone like me who climbs hill daily, whose always the one to take or sprint up those long subway stairs, laptop in tow, hair flyng, while the rest of the "so called sane" folks on the escalators look on with a mixture of boredom and "wtf" (little do they know that could be their workout for the day!!) ... 

.. it just seems insane. 

Why would someone do that? 

Maybe if you're REALLY sick and infirm, or if you're Glyn whose so pudgy moving an inch without waddling out of breath is a chore - I get it in that case. 

Him climbing stairs, it's like a B 52 bomber descended on the building - and not in a a good way either, like a past landlord once commented about my "building shaking workouts"! (more than once. Hehe) ... 

But either way, why? 

IT's laziness, combined with the mental thing about "oh my god, stairs - too tough!" 

I can never once, even in blazing heat and humidity that would have made most strongmen wilt right there and then - climbing steep hills 4 or 5 times "this is real hill climbing, as a student of mine once remarked"  - thouht of holding on to railings, even when I was dizzy and ready to pass out. 

Many did on that hill! I always remember looking back at them and thinking "WEAK" (dont get me wrong, it happens, but just one time - like, TOUGHEN UP!). 

Funny part, I saw this lady when thinking about something completely unrelated, that being how women want everything "now". 

Like it's always super urgent. 

"Budget for it!" theyll yell at you, while of course ignoring they never told you in advance. 

Apparently the ATM must keep floweth(ing). Hehe. Not so much the beer though for Nazi feminists, they can't stomach it (oddly enough, I haven't seen ONE single person in my family other than myself and perhaps one of my cousins really guzzle that beer!) ...

but really, I wonder - though I've never asked, no point. 

"What if its a REAL emergency" - and you've already drained what is there for so called emergencies. 

Of course, Nazi feminists aren't exactly known for thinking. 

YOU though CAN be - you can PROFIT from this madness, but of course, youve gotta be willing to spend what it takes to - or INVEST what it takes, I shoudl say - to learn from the best at combating it. 

I could literally give a lot of these Tom Tom's at Mgtow Central lessons to learn that they would never ever forget!

Oh my.

Anyway - if you're the sort that holds on to the railing for dear life like Bozo Schofield for one does while climbin stairs - just - dont - period. 

It makes you look like a sissy, period, pun intended. Very much so!

And it's STUPID. 

Stair climbing, one of the best workouts out there - best way you can prepare for them is do them, run 'em, SPRINT them ... 

All detailed in Advanced Hill Training, a book you must get NOW. 

A book that was rebraned as Eat More - Weigh Less as well ... well, that was the latter name, before I changed it back to the original. 

Couple of reviews, now, one I've already shared before - 

A great mini review for “Eat More – Weigh Less”, and more… (0excusesfitness.com)  

And the second .. 

Mike Watson writes in - 

Great little book - thank you so much, Sir!

Simple movements that really help in getting rid of excess fat, not just around the midsection, but the whole body is what this book boils down to. The author has written it in his usual "crisp, concise and down to earth" style, and its a classic book that will never go out of style (either). Neither will the movements in it.

I have not purchased this author's other books, but plan on doing so as soon as "the wife" permits, heh.

Hey, man - thank you! is all I can say to that, and he's damn right, it's an overall body training regimen, not just "legs" or core or whatever. 

And takes nary fifteen minutes, come to think of which, if you can go that long (pun, hehe) - you're already a stud. 

Anyway ............ 

We started with stairs, went on to budgets, then reviews, and somewhere in the middle Nazi feminists. 

Remember one thing - it's always prudent to budget for things that MATTER. 

Like my upcoming book Squat 101 - or another ass kicker, Lumberjack "Lodestone" Fitness. 

Or, Proft Troll (y'all will LOVE these, juicy details on a certain someone you have NOT heard before for one, but much like the book on Nazi feminists, it teaches you how to PROFT from someone attacking you and how!!) .. 

Or so  many others I've got on the backburner, including "Advanced Plyometrics". 

If y'all have ideas  for new books (I'm already at work on Isometrics  - Volume Three) - let me know!

And anyway, budget for those books - but get what you need NOW. 

And that is the 0 Excuses Fitness System, my friend - simply something you MUST have if you're in ANY way serious about fitness in any way, shape or form. 

Period. 

Go HERE to get it. 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

I just interrupted my jump rope workout to tell you this, 1000 reps in, I'm barely warmed up, but I have to tell you this, friend. 

I can just hear Rocky telling his son ... 

"I'm going to tell you something you alrrady know. 

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, it will beat you to your knees, and it will keep you there if you let it. 

You, me, nobody will hit as hard as LIFE. 

It's not about how HARD you can hit. 

It's about how hard you can GET hit, but still keep moving. THATS how winning is done!

Now if you know what you're worth, go out and get it. 

But you can't keep blaming people, making excuses . 

Thats what losers do. 

And that in't YOU!": 

Old Rocky is almost in tears as he finishes (I quoted him almost verbatim). 

But I feel his pain!

His son knew it, but needed it to hear it anyway. 

Thats my whole point for this email. 

A lot of what I say - you know. 

But sometimes all of us need to HEAR it - from another person, if just to validate and emphasize the truism of the statements. 

The wise will always preface advice with "as you already know" or a derivative therein, instead of trying to "teach upfront" or lecture like a Bozo. 

I've had this said to me back in the day, still sometimes happens when I need it. 

We all do. 

And we all need that kick up the ass sometimes. 

Speaking of which ... 

How high and hard can you kick, friend?

Simple question, but most cannot do it without tearing a quad - or hamstring - or more. 

I keep saying this, you probably know it, you will find it inscribed on my very large tombstone when I go ...(with everything else I keep repeating). 

Hamstrings are a CRUCIAL and critical part of the body to stretch, strengthen and train. 

In Isometric and Flexibility Training I give you a "hamstring" stretch (though it stretches the entire core, lower back, shoulders, traps, sides, all of it) which is simple - you put your feet up on a high surface, one at a time. 

You keep both legs STRAIGHT while doing it!

(I can almost hear and feel a certain Carol slapping my then loose thigh when I was doing it. 

"Hey, Michael!" (she got the "hey" from me. Hehe. So cute). 

"Keep those legs straight!") 

That was at the top of the hill. 

That is a great stretch for your hamstrings, you could work them your entire life and never go wrong. 

When you open - loosen the hammies - you literally TRANSFORM your life with all the GOOD that flows into it!

You feel better, you perform better in all your exercises and workouts , if you've got tight hamstrings like I do, many of you do too, you'll just feel awesome, like you accomplished something. 

In the advanced book on isometrics, I'll be talking about an advanced version of this stretch I did yesterday. 

oh my. 

this one takes that previous stretch to a higher level - literally. 

And you'd be best warmed up well before doing it, unless you're already loose and limber - it's martial arts level (advanced) - this one. 

Look for that in the upcoming advanced book on isometrics, for now, as you know, but you need to hear it, a lot of you AGAIN - GET THE BOOK on ISOMETRICS! (the one out now)

Do so now. 

And something else you need to hear, as I finished my cross over jump ropes this morning (an advanced variation I did not put in Jump Rope Mania!) ... 

Cardio - the right form - I cannot overemphasize just how important it is. 

Lots of you think "pah, I just need muscle and strength". 

Folly, friend. 

You need BOTH. 

One doesn't go without the other. 

And you ain't gonna look like an athlete if you've got a huge belly spilling over "the cup that spilleth over" - simple as that. 

And jumping rope is an ancient technique that has been used by martial artists, wrestlers, swimmers, nigh everyone who does it to get in top shape - and quick. 

And you'll get all the cardio and muscle building you need with this one workout - especially lower body. 

It leaves you with no excuses either - how many do you need to pull out a rope and start doing the thing? 

None, I bet .. 

So get that course NOW too, my friend. 

Really, now. Lots of you keep putting it off - please dont. 

Back soon!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - you know it's important, when I interrupted my workout to tell you this!

yes, another one of those "you already know it, but you need to hear it anyway". 

It seems social media these days, and people in general - two things. 

One, everyone finds an excuse to be offended, and then kick up a hue and cry over it. 

Could be politics, "off the cuff" statements made by someone - could be "what someone said" - could be "he's SOOOOOOOO racist!" - could be any of that crap - people just have nothing to do with their lives and are interested in finding some issue to gripe about so they can forget the monotony of their daily lives for just a second ... until they go home, of course. Where the wife is waiting with the baton, lol.

(or rolling pin, or what not, but you get the drift). 

Much like Bozo Glyn who as a great customer rightly said, "has an axe to grind" (oddly enough, my mom says the same thing "everyone has an axe to grind" and we ALL know the relationship there!! Hehe) ... People just fail to focus on or stick to the facts. 

Reminds of a scene in one of the best Bollywood movies ever "Munna Bhai MBBS" (the great Sanjay Dutt - one of the few actors in Bollywood I truly DO admire) ... 

Basically, a pickpocket shows up in a crowded station, and picks an old man's pocket - gets caught instantly. 

I wont get into the story and detail here, it's hilarious, but it was set in India, and naturally a crowd forms and starts beating on him. 

Old man has pity on him (or his wife), and then asks the crowd to stop. 

"Guys, stop. Whats YOUR problem? After all, its my wallet he's trying to steal!" 

And then he lectures the pick pocket. 

"See these people? They've all got some problems!

Some guy fought with his wife this morning, some guy is frustrated about money, some guy is angry about something else ... 

Point being, they're all ANGRY. 

And they are all looking for an excuse to vent their anger. 

You are the target ; a prime one!" 

.... Case and point with all this "getting offended" you see these days, if idiots in general would invest that energy and time they spend in getting offended on their own lives... 

But I forgot, how dare I talk SENSE. Hehe. 

Anyway ... 

I was thinking about this this morning when I woke up. 

Truth be told, Glyn doesn't have a leg to stand on either way in terms of his rants. 

He's the one who started it all, he's the one who was blatantly racist and abusive with no provocation, he's the thief that stole money and scammed countless women out of their hard earned cash, stabbed his friend Chuck multiple times in the bank, tried hitting on his girlfriend with wierd "sissy" notes he left for her, and much, much more (not to mention he's just a lying piece of butt licking shit in general) .... 

(I will share the story of how his drugged up self once literally shat in class, so drunk was he. No wonder he ultimately got DEPORTED!)

But even if he did - one question. 

Just how the heck his trolling on the BOOKS - which he never read or bought was warranted is beyond me. 

Why drag those books into it? 

Can Bozo do a pull-up - or a handstand - or even hold the pushup position for any length of time. 

Can Chuck, who constantly complained about my emails do 'em? 

No. 

have they DONE what I mention in the books to be ABLE To do them ?

Nope. 

Then my dear friend, you have no right to bitch and moan and complain. 

Because you haven't got the books, you haven't read them, you haven't got off your lazy duff and done a damn thing other than be a troll (in short) - and take advantage of the fact that Amazon, although they're working on it - currently allows these trolls to troll freely, but real commenters like John Walker I mentioned in an email or so up there get censored. 

My daughter asked who you were John (in the video). 

Hehe. 

I told her, she loved it!

Anyway ............. that aside. 

"I'm independent. I pay my own bills. I am not kept. I do the keeping". 

I keep seeing these sort of statements - usually accompanied by a sneering sort of photo (with full make up on and such) on social media these days. 

And the simps love to simp over it. 

"Ma'am you're SO NICEEEEEEE!" goes Bozo Schofield. 

(for saying that, and being a bratty, entitled ... well, I dont want to go there, but you can guess the word). 

That aside though, facts. 

One, don't we ALL pay our bills? 

Two, how many times do you see MEN that pay the majority of everything anyway bragging about it? 

And three - perhaps most important, ever DELVE into the HISTORY behind these statements?

Usually - not always, but usually, these so called empowered women have GOTTEN to the point they are at now by virture of a man doling out the cash. 

Sounds misogynstic? 

Maybe . 

But it's TRUE. 

And I can corrobate this with tons of women's stories that I've been with in the past. 

Could be their ex's bought the car and house, or Daddy set up their little pharmacy or what not, or their ex husband sending them fat alimony checks... 

These facts are never brought up, eh? 

But they're TRUE. 

To me, if a woman has REALLY done it herself, you'll never see her spouting such statements. 

Or if she does, she'll say it in a matter of fact way. 

Or, most likely, her work - or something else - will speak for herself. 

Case in point being "Sunny Leone", a woman all love to troll, because she was in porn first, then made it big in Bollywood. 

Another one of those people people love to get offended about. 

Point being though, a woman like her - truly did it herself. 

Got cast out from her ultra conservative Indian family for choosing to do it her own way, then did it, probably struggled a lot, and today, she's a rising star. 

Thats my type of person - or woman. 

Thats the sort of person I like to associate with - or do business with. 

Business people. 

Sensible people. 

Not all the wankers on social media...

Anyway, my book on combating and BENEFITING from Nazi feminism - is a great, great read, my friend. 

Here it is. 

Oh, on that note. 

These same women then proudly post about "how the maid is also SOOOOOOOO independent". (usually a mistreated, overworked abused domestic servant with no rights, and as my wife once said, women are the one doing most of that abuse - and if you dont believe me? Go research it). 

Truly, women can be their own worst enemies, even the independent ones (the ones that BRAG about it). 

Apparently doing their own housework is beneath these independent women. 

I give up. 

Hehe. 

To each his own. 

I'll be back!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

I still remember an email from I think 2004, another one of those emails that stuck in mind, sort of like the famous email Brooks Kubik once wrote about me around that time as well. 

(That one's mentioned in part on Advanced Hill Training; I wish I had a dumbphone back then, oh wait, they didnt have them then! Hehe. Several computer crashes later, I lost the orignal email, but it's sum and substance is so INDELIBLY printed on my mind, it will last long after I pass!). 

(in the ETHER!). 

It till date is one of the emails that has meant the MOST to me in all my online or ANY communication. 

Truly, Brooks - he's a great - one of the best! 

He, along with a certain Vince Palko "The Godfather of Internet Marketing" as he was fondly called, hehe - is on my FB list - which I never logged into, of course, since Nov 2020. 

The hell with FB and social media in general, and I've explained this many times before haven't I ... 

What they did to Trump was the last straw, not so much because its Trump (though dont get me wrong, I love Trump) ... but if they can do that to a sitting US President, they're literally Hitler, or the modern version thereof. 

Hopefully Congress finally passes that bill, I dont know, but as my friend Dwayne once said. 

"I hope these damn social media companies go OUT OF BUSINESS". 

I think he said broke too. Hehe. 

but FB, writing's been on the wall for ages, LinkedIn with their China pandering too. Hey, I did manage to get all my Linkedin Articles etc back from them though, so I'll be posting them again elsewhere, stay tuned on that one!

Medium most likely. 

Stay tuned for that, I had some great stuff, great SEO value etc, all disappeared one fine day when big tech banned me. 

I was prepared for it, I've often said dont rely on social media, build your own platforms, but most arent... 

Anyway ... 

I love Vince Palko, great guy!

I've no idea if hes still into fitness or marketing. Last I know, he started a company doing internet doodlng - or his famous cartoons, hehe - and he's doing damn well!

Thats a skill and a half. 

I remember him offering me a free doodle for my fitness "blog" back then in 2008 (back then, yes, it was just a blog). 

I declined respectfully but the gesture sticks forever. GOOD MAN, old timer, one of the best!

We spoke a couple of times on FB too, I believe. 

But that email was about sprints, or was it? 

I dont know, Brooks Kubik had sent out a similar email a while back about sprints, I responded, talked to Brooks about it, but this email ... I dont know, maybe it was sprints. 

But my nick on his list was Velocity. 

"Velocity, cool nick!" I still remember Vinnie saying. Hehe. 

That it is!

Cool dudes have cool nicks. 

And to me, it signifies one thing. 

SPEED 

Lightning fast, demon like SPEED

!!

SPEED IS WHAT WE NEED! (remember Mickey? Hehe). 

GODSPEED!

I've always been Mr Fast. 

Climbing hills fast, romancing the lovely carol fast (not really, hehe, I wasn't even romancing her to being with), eating fast, writing fast - getting her done - QUICK!

And to me, thats just a cool nick I've used so often I might as well have invented. 

When I use the terms "idiot box" and "dumbphone" my daughter claims I (might as well have) invented them the amount I go on about 'em. 

Hehe. 

I might - nah. I didnt!

But, Velocity is definitely me!

Another favorite nick of mine on another site is Mystery. I love that nick too, sounds great!

Always Jason Bourne am I ... 

"Mystery Man", as a certain lady Rohini once called me "Dont worry, I wont tell my husband I'm talking to strange men in the middle of the night!". 

Hehe. 

We met in person once at China immigration .. Poor husband. Hehe. 

But he's a nice guy!

And I was NEVER worried. LOL. 

Anyway................................. 

Thats that. 

Remember the Battletank Shoulders special we got going on, friends... 

❗IT ENDS IN A FEW HOURS!❗

So - claim your copy of the very best in fitness manuals NOW. 

And I'll be back! 

Best,

Mere words do not explain the way I feel about this. 

While I wouldn't go so far as to say "I would kill for this" - I FEEL that way when someone TRULY disrespects me. 

This morning, I truly "lost it" - though most looking at me would never guess what the Black Mamba was thinking. 

This ties into all the calling I do out for Glyn Schofield for one, who better hope he never sees me in person again. 

As my friend from the Marines once told me privately. 

"Rahul, they better hope they dont see me HERE, on MY SOIL!" 

He was referring to some Chinese who were bullying him with the "This is China" crap - so now he's in the US, and he's issued an OPEN CHALLENGE to them. 

Needless to say, they never took it. 

In the movie First Blood, Part IV i.e. "Rambo", in my opinion one of the best of the lot, they had this thing about Stallone sharpening a knife that gets longer with every installment of the movie, hehe - and uttering these words. 

"When killing is as easy as breathing ... " 

"God didnt make you this fighting machine. It's in your blood!" 

"You didnt kill for your country! You killed for YOURSELF!" 

"God's never going to make that go away!" (for reference, there was this missionary sort in Rambo that the Vet WARNED not to go into Burma, she did anyway, and well, y'all have seen the movie, I'm sure! LUMBERJACK!) 

Carrying on from what his old mentor and Colonel said about "we never created this fighiting machine - we just chipped away the rough edges". 

That, to me, typifies yours truly to a T. 

I can tolerate a lot, my friend. 

And I do. 

But disrespect - I draw the line. 

I lost it this mornig with a guy I've been doing business with - for years and years and years. 

I've always treated him fair, paid up BANG ON TIME EACH AND EVERY TIME for the services he rendered. 

Yet, since this July, he's been giving me the round about on something he is supposed to do - and still hasn't done it. 

Broken promises, never answers calls, when I do, he disconnects, and wont call back for months . 

I can feel his thinking. 

"This guy has no options, so he's stuck". 

Oh yeah? 

Me? 

No options? 

STUCK? 

No I ain't either pally. I'm simply doing what I do for everyone, give them a very long rope, once I do biz with someone, once I find reliable people, I don't just swtich at the drop of a hat. I'm in it for the long term. 

Most apparently aren't. 

Anyway, it drove me insane this morning - so much so that I was almost literally sharpening an actual knife which most dont know, but I know very well how to use. 

I better not write anymore. 

On that! 

But disrespect I just dont tolerate. 

Especially blatant and RUDE sort. 

I've told the dude plenty of times if he doesnt want to work with me - then fucking SAY IT!

I've told him bazillions of times, RETURN what I gave YOU - for business! 

And if you dont want to do even that, at least SAY IT!

The ROUNDABOUT and DISHONESTY is what I cannot stand, much like Marc the African Silverback Gorilla once told me as well. 

I cannot for the life of me understand why folks can't be DIRECT!

Never getting back to anything, always "avoiding the hard questions" - I mean, just effing SAY IT!

Anyway ... 

Maybe it's because I've been hit behind the head - literally - all the time growing up. 

Maybe because of all the bullying I endured, never got a word of support, when I fought back, it was always "they are right, you cannot fight back!" 

Sounds insane, I know - but many of YOU have gone through the SAME damn thing. 

As an adult, perhaps and admittedly I went to the other extreme physically. 

But I'd rather that than ... you know, be bullied ... 

It's just - disrespect, I cannot tolerate it. 

And that red hot flash of rage - a lot of you  know what I mean. 

Of course, I'm hardly the maniac who like in the recent Russell Crowe movie makes it a point to "kill everyone he can associated with the person". 

I have my moments, then I calm down ... 

But disrespect, I cannot tolerate. 

This idiot promised me something to be done "within the next hour" 

Let us see if he does it. 

And on that note , fitness wise ... never tolerate anything less than the BEST my friend. 

And the best of the best is what I bring YOU in the 0 Excuses Fitness System. 

Go get you some now. 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Ive always been this way, by the way. Fighter to the core, like my friend said, "you're one of the toughest hombres I know out there". 

And he knows plenty. 

I dont know why I felt compelled to put that bit of history out there, of course... 

It sometimes amazes me, the similarity I see between a lot of my customer's private lives - and what I've seen growing up - and what I continue to - and the constant reminder of "why I CHOSE to be the way I am". 

Growing up,and indeed until now, the concept of "life should be relaxed" was never a thing. 

Its always rush, rush, rush - if you're free, then "find something to do" - if you're earning money comfortably - then "slog to earn it" - or so forth. 

Basically all "driven" by my mom who always needs to "have something to do" - except that isn't HER doing something, it's her tossing the entire house up and down, involving all and sundry - on a weekend at that - when it's time for all to rest and relax. 

Apparently weekends and holidays are when "work gets done". 

Which to me has always seemed the most inane thing ever - yet, women in general, I've always seen it that way with women!

Could be ANY woman I've been with for that matter, right down to women "hurrying on holiday" so you can see more places. 

I mean, Jesus Christ, why GO on a holiday if you gotta rush through the whole goddamned itenary without pausing to rest, relax, let it all sink in? 

Perhaps that is why, as John Walker said - I'm the guy thats lived life on his OWN TERMS and will continue to as well. 

I figured it out, yes, I'd have to - or I'd have gone bonkers by now - or become a Glyn like cuckold. 

It's amazing so many men put up with it of course, the constant do this, do that crap! 

The constant "there's something to be done around the garden". 

The constant, "there's always something to do be done around the house" - usually the most ANNOYING, insane crap ever - which requires you to wake up at freaking 6 o clock on a weekend of all things!

John, looking at how my mother does it, always has, always will - I feel you! 

But of course he's different from my Dad in that we share most of the same values (myself and John - and a lot, if not ALL of you customers!)

Most of all, a LOVE for hard training, and a knack of sorting past the BS, and saying it - and doing it - like it is!

But really, this insanity that women get up to "housewise", just insane, even more insane that men put up with it!

I'll be back. 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Pick up the fitness system that will turn you into a he-man not just physically, but MENTALLY as well - the 0 Excuses Fitness System. 

PS #2 - There is a reason I wrote the book on COMBATING and profiting from Nazi feminism. Believe me, there is!

I gotta be brutally honest about this one, all the news I see on this is so hopelessly either politicized, or goddamn WRONG. 

And missing the point - boat - entirely by a country mile or so forth. 

Politics aside, this won't be one of my typical "conservative" pieces either by the wya - let me roll up my sleeves, and give it to you straight as someone whose been there, done that, way back in the day - and it was a lot better, the overall situation back then!

The libs for one keep pushing back against the assertion - which I believe holds TRUE to a large degree - that giving people huge amounts of aid (in a comparitive sense) -  over and over again does nothing but enfroce the feeling that "Big Government will always be there to help", and end of the day "the government will do something". 

Sometimes, this can be good. 

I believe Trump did the absolute right thing when he announced those initial COVID checks and aid but it's gone on for way too long, my friend. 

The piper has to be paid sometime, somehow, and a lot of people - NOT all - but a lot - simply got accustomed to getting paid for doing nothing - and therefore, they aim at just that. 

As the great Jeff Bezos rightly said, human beings are naturally lazy - and they'll find a way to do LESS no matter what (or get the job done in an easier manner no matter what). 

Laziness aside, yours truly is the perfect example of the latter - finding ways to creatively make more money as opposed to slogging through broken glass on my elbows tthrough the figurative field to deposit checks in an account, hehe. 

And I'll take it!

But the aid, or lack of it NOW is NOT the main reason in my opinion. 

Does anyone ever talk about what these businesses are OFFERING? 

Crappy wages that haven't risen in forever, and the minute the employee wants more, they start looking around for a replacement. 

Or, per hour employment "ad hoc" with no health insurance, no benefits, nothing ... 

Or, as some companies do, be cheap on wages by saying "we offer you free housing, free this, free that!" 

Hell, son, I dont want your free housing, I tell 'em. I'd rather have the CASH IN HAND and figure out what to do with it and where to live MYSELF!

They complain these days about people saying they'll show up for interviews, then never showing up - or showing up, getting the offer, and then bailing. 

HA!

How it feels funny when the shoe is on the OTHER FOOT!

BAck in the day, I'd ask people EXACTLY what people are asking now. 

i.e. can you pay me what you want, and if you can't, then it's a waste of time me even coming in. 

More than 11 years down the line, people are only starting to ask that, and employers are already up in arms. Haha. 

Hell, I remember some interviews I went to where I knew it was a waste of time. 

I went anyway for the long drive. Hehe. Or to get out of the house. 

These days, heck, if I were in that position, I'd save my cash - and gas - and get a six pack instead. 

Then you have a lot of employers quietly getting fat on their stock options, bonuses or what not - do we EVER hear about them saying they're "doing well"? 

No, it's always "cut throat margins", we're under a lot of pressure etc. 

We woul dnever know Jeff Bezos's worth if it wasn't for the internet, given how little the man, who is by far the businessperson I admire MORE - speaks about his immense and WELL EARNED, truly DESERVED WEALTH.... 

Think of it from the employee's perspective though when businesses use every excuse to extract that last bit of flesh from the employee "pound of flesh". 

Then apparently people "dont want to do the grunt work". 

I got a solution. 

Offer them enough, they WILL!

Hell, this has been going on for a long time, friend. People dont want employees with BRAINS that will demand more, that will want just rewards for their work, and so forth. 

That caused me to entirely drop out of the workforce years back - and that aint gonna change - ever - no matter WHAT. 

And another bottom line, there are simply too many people int he world, and too much, as I've said before, "me , me, me!" going on!

Attracting what I want - OK, great. 

But when everyone is focusing on me, it aint gonna end up purdy in the long run ... 

Anyway, what do I know. 

I'm just the fitness pioneer and in many other areas too - where when I first started, I had ONLY Digital products - NO paperbacks or hardcovers!

EVERYONE told me that wasn't the way to go. 

Everyone pointed me to the gurus, how they "shipped hard copies of everything". 

Aint nothing wrong with that, friend. 

But there is a time and place for that - and customers that want that sort of thing - and theyre great customers, dont get me wrong - but NOW? 

HA!

I'm SO glad I continue to operate as a one man show (which Charles once famously derided "you know nothing!" - apparently one's worth or biz success is determined by how many employees one has) ... with VERY little overhead - other than my own time, labor, input, and expertise, an dso forth. 

And therefore, yours truly is sailing through all of this relatively unafffected. 

think it's just me doing this? 

Think again!

There's people now on Amazon literally packing stuff in bags you'd expect to find at Walmart - and shipping them out that way to save a buck. 

I was horrified when I ordered a product, and saw it packed that way - true, it wasn't a product that needed fancy or even extensive packaging, but still!

But that, my friend, will keep happening... 

And last, but not least, this goddamn supply chain crisis? 

SOME of it is inevitable yes, but I truly believe a lot of the so called crises are man made. 

And getting back to biz, and businesses not being able to find employees or what not, I'll quote ole Boris in the Uk when he said businesses basically need to stop relying on low cost labor and actually , you know, PAY their employees a bit more!

So goddamned true, my friend, despite him being pilloried from all ends, he's HIT the nail on the head. 

Sometimes, employers do need to get their GAME in order. 

Anyway .............. 

Thats my take on it. 

And if you have another, write back, tell me!

And of course, remember that a solid, strong immune system is the very best thing you can do for yourself NOW. 

This linK HERE will get you what you need right NOW- The 0 Excuses Fitness System. 

I'll see yall!

Charles Mitchell, a customer of mine once made the following comment about learning of my "love" - and great aptitude for Math. 

(remember, walking in drunk for exams, acing them all, hehe) 

(that's a TRUE Tale!) 

(as most of mine are) 

"If you wrote a book on Math (or maybe he said Calculus) I'd buy it too!" 

Hehe. 

Perhaps he would. 

But I dont have any plans to become Professor Rahul, despite a long ago photo on Facebook that caused people to call me just that. 

True, it was me in one of my more idlyllic, "staring into space" moods... bearded, with glasses, yet the surroundings where it was taken was anything but. 

A lesson to all social media addicts and "judging how his life" is right there. 

Tru, Tom Tom's - perhaps you ccould - but people that know how to read minds, camouflage etc - not so much (yours truly). 

Parenting is also one of the areas I could write tomes on, as I'm sur eyou've learnt!

And I'll always remember what my Dad's friend once told my Mom when she was trying to stop me from guzzling cold BEER ... 

"How will you stop him when he's no longer at home!" 

SAGE, hehe. 

From a man that did it himself! 

But more sage was this comment he told me . 

"No matter what you do, even if you get a girl pregnant, come home and tell your parents". 

Ah, if only I could. 

I remember asking my father about it the next day (I was 17) 

He said I shouldn't take "the words literally but the meaning". 

Ah!

Therein lies the nub, my friend. 

In my family, it's always been "pleasing my mother first and foremost above all". 

Kids be damned, world be damned, all of it be damned. 

Maybe thats good for cucks and Nazi feminists, but for kids growing up? 

(and I'm glad to see more people are coming out with all this after reading what I write - a lady recently wrote about how her mom told her "you've ruined my whole life!" - so much for women supporting women eh? As my "wife" said, women are often each other's WORST enemies!) 

Yours truly never ever had the reassurance that no matter what I do, I could tell my parents and "ultimately " all would be fine. 

I remember my Dad once telling me when I quizzed him on why he had kids. 

"Because they turn out alright in the end". 

He was saying - or hoping "turn out as Mommy wants". 

And from a guy that has been put in the role of "unwilling enforcer" (which trust me, he's LEAST suited to be) his whole life, I found that interesting - and not - both at the same time. 

But anyway ... 

For me, with my daughter, I've always told her this. 

No matter what you do, you'll still be my little girl. 

I mean every word. 

Not for me the "my house doesnt include you" (when it comes to my daughter) and other nonsense people like to spout. 

I'll support her till the day she passes - or I do. Hehe. 

Now, this needs to be taken with a grain - or pinch - of salt. 

I do NOT mind I will support her being a brat - not working hard - not wanting her to go through the school of hard knocks, and so forth. 

I WANT all that to happen i.e. "naturally". 

And certainly, some of the parents that do their best to cover up horrific and grisly crimes their offspring commit, both male and female - I would never go to those extremes. 

But, other hand. 

Children need to KNOW that their parents, and Dad plays a huge role - has their BACK growing up. 

THAT is what I never had, and THAT is what I want to give most to my daugther, and THAT Is what I am telling you, my friend. 

Kids need to know there is a line to everything. But, they also need to know your parents have your back no matter WHAT. 

And that, my friend, is the message for that one, as this afternoon I sit and ruminate about a lot of things. 

Ok, enough on that. 

Kids also need to knwo that fitness is numero UNO, friend. 

And two things - one, ADULTS need to set an example first. 

And Two, if you've got young kids, they need their OWN programs to follow. 

And that, my friend is that .

You know whats coming next. 

Take action!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - For those in the "ignore" i.e. those that read and do nothing, would it be too much to ask you to click "unsubscribe"? Thank you! And if someone reading this falls into that category, yet doesnt do, I'm sorry, but nothing to me screams out LOSER MORE!

(I mean jeez, dude, or lady, you can always get the free stuff from the site, but why clog up a list if you never have any intention of buying anything?) 

Often times, when on the phone with people - or if I am on the phone with people, which I generally NEVER get on - because if someone's calling me, I've found out it's only because they are trying to dodge some fact I've brought up via text or email and want someone to "listen to them" as opposed to two people having a conversaton and the usual "I'm your friend" bullshit when really it's a matter of the other person being a fuckin leech for the most part... I get irritated. 

Ever notice that some conversations go around and around? 

If you're having a problem, you tell someone pat comes the answer - well, what are you doing to solve it (without you asking for help in any which way).  

Like, dude, how would YOU solve the same problem? 

When you tell these idiots that, they hem and haw. 

And of course, for most people they're bored and looking for pseudo - entertainment, but it brought to mind something interesting. 

And sad in a way. 

Kids all over the world, even today love for their parents to sit together at the dinner table - all together, chatting etc. 

"Dinner table conversation", I believe they call it. 

Growing up, I can't quite recall, but I think until the age of 15 or so, the kids ate first, by themselves or otherwise, adults later ... 

And given the relationship between this "unruly" kid and family (everyone having their own opinion on whats right and wrong, wrong people unwilling to change etc) there was never much meaningful convo to begin with. 

It's sad though, when my daughter wants this - I can hear the longing in her voice for Mommy and Daddy to "sit together". 

It's sad though when she REALLY wants to sit - and not just be entertained, but provide her input - have some NORMALCY for a change. 

Yet, that will never happen! 

Whats even sadder is the world these days, and of course, neither parents, or both, or one not making the effort to "be normal" even for a while. 

Hey, it happens - I get it. I should know!

People hate each other basically. 

But - why bring kids into the mix? 

Unfortunately, that is exactly what is going on amist all the other craziness............

Anyway, on the topic of normalcy. I wrote about this before from an adult perspective, and I'll write about it now from a kiddie perspective. 

Many of you reading this have kids. 

And stubborn though you might be to accept the fact, FITNESS - and movement is what is required for most kids. 

Know whats sad(again)? 

Even physical education teachers etc, those tailored towards KIDS - or supposed to be - are either phat as phock themselves, or aren't qualifed to instruct to begin with!

Look at the fockers in most schools teaching fitness - so FAT they can barely bend over (if you think Bozo, think 1/3 rd his size, which is still a lot!) - let alone teach anyone to do the most basic of movements when they can't do it themselves, or of course these idiotic schools siphoning off the top, "saving a buck" and putting people in that dont know the F of fitness, to save a buck, of course, on hiring qualified people... 

Not me - dont get me wrong. 

Been a while since I taught kids pull-ups - I'll happily take the memories, but not again! Hehe. 

And whats sadder, even the qualified ones, and I've seen this have LOWERED their standards for kids - simply because most kids cannot do even the most basic of movements today without becoming cranky as a bear - or plain not able to do it.  

I can't help but wonder, for instance, when a child of 8 is unable to bend over properly, tie his or her own shoelaces, and such - it is WAY more common than you'd think - not to mention expanding bellies, and the same Grandma's that castiage their own children for stuff way less "doting" away on the grandchildren because of course, it's OK for them ... why? I dont know!

Crazy world, indeed, its come to!

And sad, to me... 

Anyway - try and be as normal for your kids as possible, my friend. 

When they grow up - TRUST ME ON THIS ONE - that is the one thing they will remember above all i.e. GENUINE love and affection, not the kind you "fake". People - andkids - can feel it!

And make sure to get them started on REAL kid's fitness routines, not the crap being thrown around these days - all taught in Kiddie Fitness. 

Write back - let me know how it worked for your little one!

best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Adults, for YOUR version of this - go HERE. 

I dont know about you, my friend, but when you haven't worked out in a long time - other than core strength and "stomach" distending and so forth - what is the first to GO? 

It's not your grip, biceps, chest, or even traps ... 

It's your TRICEPS. 

For me, and for most people, triceps are the forgotten part of the arm - which is nigh astouding, since that brute pushing strength and arm SIZE - comes from - TRICEPS!

Not only pushing - if you're weak at pull-ups, and this is one of the secrets I explain deeply in "Pull-ups from DUD to STUD - within a matter of WEEKS!" (the new and updated version on the site now) - tricep strength could well be a limiting factor. 

Dont believe me? 

I understand. 

But just make a fist, and pull down. 

Feel the parts of your arm that work, I believe you'll get the answer right there and then. 

But triceps, my friend, are an INTEGRAL part of any real fitness trainee's training regimen - or should be - and unfortunately, are NOT the backbone of most people's training regimen, even those training with weights. 

In "Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness", you'll see how your triceps are really what push, pull and move - all those heavy implements in the course!

And the one way to get strong triceps - to BUILD them? 

Is by pushing, and doing so repeatedly. 

There is a reason, my friend, boxers and wrestlers focus more on pushups than pull-ups - and why the Marines for one do more pushups - way more - than pull-ups. 

Dont get me wrong. 

PUll-ups - turn you into a battletank and powerhouse. 

I should know!

And a super stud too. 

But, pushups are and should be the mainstay of any serious fitness routine - implements, weights, pull-ups - or NOT. 

Pushups and legs, because if there is one exercise that can work the entire body ? 

Or two? 

I'd say hill sprints (or climbing hill) - and pushups!

More so than anything else, my friend, anything else. 

And the exercise in the best course on pushups do a fine, fine job of building the triceps and those huge arms you so want. 

There is truly NO OTHER COURSE like this out on the market - so says the bodyweight fitness GURU Rahul Mookerjee aka "Stella Artois of Fitness" 

Get you some now, and get started rightaway!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee
