I still remember the 'General' during one of our public spats on Dongguan Expat, hehe - I still remember doing something very minor (in hindsight) to a post on there - initially configured so that only Michael, Rahul and Uncle Bob could post to it - and then disappearing off to a company party where I had WAY too many drinks - enjoyed a certain "V" who seemed to be dancing especially for me, with all the winks and all she kept giving me during the factory dinner - damn. 

Not that she didnt do it all day long in the office anyway ... 

Those were the days, Freddie eh. Hehe. 

I quit that job later - but thats another tale - but coming back home, I fell asleep - next morning I woke up to two things - one, the guy who I drove to office with wasn't showing up or something (he got pissed when I called him out for some BS in front of some girls, apparently his ego got hurt, hehe - he was a "senior manager" or some crap and from there on in, things were NEVER the same between us - neither would I really want them to be - though I gotta say, that factory had weird rules with not giving all the managers their own cars, Uncle Bob's factory was different in that regard...) and two, well a note from uncle Bob saying "Michael has done something downright nasty". 

I logged on, took a look, and almost spit out my coffee which I drank back then. 

First off, a post in response to mine about "who unlocked this post yet again" 

"I unlocked it. Next time, you guys do something with TDG and try to promote for FREE on DGEX, get your *&^% together ... " came the angry response. 

Then, something which befuddles me till this day. 

Yours truly was partying it up at that time. 

Certainly on the puter, I doubt Bob was either. 

"Right now, only Michael, Rahul, and Uncle Bob can lock this post ... 

I unlocked it and then one of us locked it back up AGAIN! ⚠

This is NOT a pissing contest . . . can you PISS farther than me ❓

You are BOTH FIRED as Major Generals and Site admins. Public posting to follow shortly. 

If you have any problem with this, feel free to flame me publicly". 

This was just so hilarious, coming from Michael, I just goggled. Remember, this was supposed to be and was a community website for expats in Dongguan at the time! 

It was even more hilarious considering I never worked "for" Michael - rather "with him". 

We basically founded the damn thing ... Bob, well, no, but he didnt work "for" him either, but the funniest part - the colors Michael put in there which I can't show here - and the "can you piss farther than me" drunken note he left. 

As a site admin, that certainly wasn't on! 

Hehe. 

And I still cackle about it - and miss those days. 

2003 - 2020 .. The General is still going strong I hear, though after a couple of his heart attacks he stopped downing cases of beer daily. Hehe. 

Anyway. 

Thats a trip down memory lane. 

Now over HERE - recently, I (truly) fired an affiliate a while back - and I suppose the reason I bring this up again, is because like an annoying mosquito or something, he's never really stopped "buzzing around here". 

This guy - well, a brief "background" - 

He's fat - and claims to workout when in reality its two minute Tik Tok bursts, and then the guy goes back inside the house and "crashes on the couch". 

He's almost 40, has never worked for a living, lives on his wife (poor lass) - basically she wears the pants and he's the house husband, except he doesnt even do that correctly. 

It's just pathetic, the guy sits at home all day and does nothing but 2 minutes bursts of exercise which is fine if he's actually do some WORK for a living rather than be self entitled and mooch off others ... typical trailor park trash basically. 

Anyway - he's basically tried to be an affiliate for every fitness guy under the sun. 

They've all - myself included - given him the BOOT - not so much for him being a fat fucker, but because he can't sell even $8 ebooks worth a damn. 

And no-one - no sane businessman or woman wants that sort in their lives. 

Same thing for the jobs he's applied to in the past. For whatever reason he's been summarily booted from all of them ... until one fine day this ass clown decided "working wasn't for him", so he sat at home, mooched, and grew even more fat, despondent and melancholy. We all know someone like this, dont we? Haha!

He's one of these whiny liberal sorts who deep down inside hates himself because of the loser he knows he is, because the mirror tells him uncomfortable truths daily - because he knows he makes no money and is, at the end of the day, dependent upon a woman (poor girl) for even the most basic of his needs like the 12 pack he looks like he downs every night. 

All of that for me, well ... 

My systems here work very well. 

And when that system put his application in "junk" for six months - well, I should have left it there "in the trailor" as it were. 

But you guys know me, super helpful for everyone. 

Perhaps it was an angel on my shoulder who said, you know, give the guy a chance, maybe he'll actually DO something if you help him out. 

Of course, after he thanked me up and down for mentioning him on my website - and how he "was really enjoying my writing and so forth" and other sycophantic stuff - his whining started. 

First thing you know, he wanted free copies of my books to ostensibly "review". 

Nothing doing pal. 

Some rules are there for a reason, they dont get broken for ANYONE. 

Then he whined a bit about ...well, I can't quite remember, I asked him about sales, how he was getting along - basically what I ask all my employees - and left it at that after he claimed "he needed time". 

At that point I thought maybe I was right - maybe he was actually DOING something for a change and thinking long term. 

Of course, liberal whiny self entitled trailor park trash types - thinking ain't their thang, neither is business - just look at Glyn Bozo for one. (their business is mooching off desperate women and in Glyn's case of course, bottom of the barrel scum considering his thoughts and actions with underage people - just horrible!). 

This guy "Benny Boy" doesnt quite fall in that category but trailor park trash - yes, and mooching off women, well, yes. 

Anyway - you try and be nice to some people. 

Oddly enough, they refuse the very help you give them. 

I mentioned the dude on my site, tried to give him a leg up (which was hard, he's so damn FAT! Hehe) - but seriously, I did it. Indeed, I remember him writing back saying "no-one's ever done that for me!"

Then I even put a photo of him on the Gorilla Grip (ADVANCED!) page, since he was selling that at the time, I figured despite his obvious deficiencies, lets me at least try and help the guy the best I can, maybe it'll help him sell something and get him started. 

Nothing happened, month later he sent me a lengthy whine about prices and other rot, and then I simply gave him the almighty BOOT, the heave - ho - what not - it was hard, my foot done got stuck in layers of phat dripping off his frame, but it had to be done. 

Seriously. 

It did. 

And it was. 

Since then of course being the liberal hypocrite he is who can't seem to decide, much like with Glyn, which gender he is, he's been doing his best to attack the business. Hehe. 

Which is fine, and equally hilarious as the initial message I posted above. 

Like dude's not in - or near - the big boy's league. 

(think about it, a thoroughly unprofessoinal horse and buggy so called cheapskate "wanting it all for free" affiliate with all the "skills" and character traits above and below (no pun) - and the Rolls Royce, the bodyweight exercise guru - the whole comparison is just ludicrous whichever way you look at it. Which world do these people live in?? Venus? Seems so, hehe - certainly not "Mars", that would require you to be a man at least in SOME regards!)

40 years old (or damn near), has ZERO confidence  (And the voice of a 16 year old school girl, you can literally see the heart thudding out of his chest as he attempts to talk on camera, just GUTLESS to the extreme the guy is, ugh) - hates himself deep down inside for being a complete loser and too lazy to do much about it - and lives on his wife - while doing exactly NOTHING productive with his time all day other than goggle at PS4 or whatever she buys for him. 

He could change this, of course. 

Sadly, he's too lazy to do so, which is fine. 

But deep down inside he can't stay away from here - he knows who the leader is, and who the followers are. Hehe. Much like Glyn does. 

And it's fine by me.

His trolling centers on what most of these price wanking Bozos do i.e. try and tear down books they havent even read in the first place, so giving them negative reviews and whining about "how much he charges for them" - hehe - it just shows their own desperation and complete lack of any sort of initiative. (and the desperation at not being able to sell despite desperately "trying to" Hehe).  

Like what sense does it make from ANY standpoint to review a product you have not even bought, read, or owned - beyond me, but these Bozos live in liberal la la "Brittney lovin" land ... 

Hey, I can see an idea forming already in Bennys fat brain as he reads this, snacking on yet another nasty pack of Cheetos ... 

Anyway - all of this is fine by me. 

And Benny and the rest of them are more than welcome to do so, but the home truths stated above - they apply to a LOT OF people. 

Look, dude, running a business costs money - it takes acumen - skill - and many other things. 

I run three of them, fourth in the offing. 

And your comments just show you'll never be able to even GET a business going, much less run it. 

Copying, apeing, and being cheap ain't the way to run any sort of business my friend - not that you even have one. 

Life doesnt work by just "throwing it against the wall and seeing if it sticks" - shit always "sticks". Just not in the way you'd think it would Penny ... 

Life doesnt work by running to the wife every time you want money for your daily necessities my friend. Just sayin, end of the day, you gotta at least make enough money to support your copious and very voluminous food requirements eh? I mean, I'm not a huge supporter of my Mom and neither is she of mine (fair enough) but her comments about the "washerwoman's son" who "looked like he eats all the family food" - well, I hate to say it, but that applies more to you than him. Hehe I'm just sayin, my friend... 

Really, these people that want everything in life for free boggle the mind, how can someone even be so shameless and pathetic (loser basically) is beyond me, but hey...

Not to mention a borderline scam artist considering he sells dodgy supplements that could really fuck up people's health SERIOUSLY. Not that he has any idea of how to use them himself beyond anecdotal so called "evidence" - or copying sites I mention here, hehe - like I said, this sort would pull their pants down and happily bend over for $10 more for their six pack that might - does $10 even get you a decent six pack these days btw? Hehe.

Actually, "flat out liar" is a better way to describe this sort - pretty much in the above guy's case, what everyone picked up on sooner rather than later, and then booted him summarily - like dude's clearly never for one done any sort of high rep movements beyond 20 second Tik Tok bursts - which is fine - but at least dont lie about it and fake rep counts etc like everyone knows and says you do - even if they wouldn't - it "showeth". Ahem. 

Thats not the way to run any sort of business - let alone a successful one! 

Yours truly delivers - above and beyond. 

The 0 Excuses Fitness videos - truly the "icing on the cake" as a great customer - several - have put it - were originally meant to have 100 pushups and some more things, I did 250 because of the nature of the beast of that product. 

The newly released videos for Squat 101 and Pushup Central have quick and dirty workouts - both ending at over 100 reps, exactly 12 plus minutes ... and with variations that would make most advanced men (Benny doesnt fall into "man" category, let alone advanced, so not him) puke their guts out if they even tried it. Hehe. 

I dont HAVE to do this, of course. I could well do what I promise, and be justified in charging my prices, but that ain't me - that ain't my own life - that ain't what I want for people - especially my loyal customers. 

And that ain't how to be a success either. Therefore... 

Anyway, the Point here isn't that Benny Boy should attempt not to be a complete loser - point is this - don't LIE. Liars and scam artists, yours truly - and anyone with any sense - simply cannot stand 'em - and in their lives, this shows - as it should.

And enough said on that one - but thats a lesson for everyone in terms of what sort of affiliate - or customer - or partner - we want on our site. 

A perfect example of the polar opposite of Benny Boy is HERE (before I'm done with him, this sort will be mentioned in Profit Troll - you'll want to grab the pre-order before the price goes up again - and this sort, my friend, is so gutless they can't even mention you by name. I've mentioned him by name so many times, but he's too gutless to mention me by name because he knows ultimately it doesn't pay to "cross the boss", hehe, and much like what happened with Glyn, the SAME thing awaits him if he does so - but still. What a loser, gutless!) ... 

This lady is just awesome - I have never once seen an affiliate so dedicated!

She's even created her own website despite NOT being an IT person (she's taking classes) to promote my books on the other business - exclusively. 

Every morning I wake up to status reports from her, and new and innovative ways of promoting things. 

When she takes off, she tells me for how many days - despite the fact she does not have to. 

And she's back at it - like clockwork - when she promises it. 

Her dedication has amazed me so that I do all I can to promote HER too. I've even made a partner in some regards in the biz! 

And, I keep giving her suggestions to grow, she takes all of them - and it's been a month and a half since she got started, and is she racking it in as yet?

No. 

But the signs are there. 

She's laying the ground work. 

She understands life, success -how real success only comes after laying the groundwork, thinking ahead, planning ahead, DOING the thing, and so forth ... 

All things I mention in Zero to Hero! and Gumption Galore in one way or the other. 

THIS is the sort of affiliate I want! 

And as I come across yet another email from her ... well, I had to write this - if just to give you an example of what sort of person to avoid in your life, what sort of person to KEEP - what sort of people you do BUSINESS with - and so forth. 

Of course, only a real business person would understand any of this. 

Not wankers that are so addicted to me that they despite throwing several hissies about "I'm leaving!" - cannot actually leave. 

Again, this sort hates themselves deep down inside. 

And they know who the boss is - ultimately. Hehe. So they follow along, tails wagging ... 

Why just affiliates? 

Lets look at customers, a certain John Walker for one, a stellar son of the soil that worked in the auto industry all his life, never asked for a quarter, never got anything in life for free like these entitled Bozos I mention up there did - never once complained about it. 

Does his best to get EVERY product I put out here. 

And so dedicated is the guy to his workouts even at age 64 - that I do my best to extend him a most generous discount every time he makes a repeat purchase. 

He is the sort of person - and Paula is the sort of affiliate - that makes all of this so worth it! 

Anyway. Lots of life lessons here. 

And please don't do butterfly pull-ups - I knew when I was going to write about it last night - some idiot would get back saying "but they work!". 

Well, if you think they work, do 'em - but dont come whining back at me is all I ask. 

Really, all I ask from this sort - continue on your merry way - just leave me alone and out of it, I want no part of it. 

And thats that. Lots of life and business lessons for those that care to pick 'em up ... 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - A lady just told me something I already knew - well, she told Twitter - about inspiration striking "at any time". So true, Madam. It struck me as I dropped into the best damn exercise ever for the lower body - the SQUAT!! Hehe. 

Lots of guys get pissed about people copying their stuff - their themes - their ideas - their work - rightfully so. 

The last thing you want is for someone to shameless ape you - and lots of people will send in angry copyright notices, threaten legal action and so forth. 

Yours truly does the opposite though - and encourages them to do MORE. Hehe. Which they all gladly do, especially the trolls. 

Now, I've covered this topic so many times before I wouldn't even get into it here, but this morning, I had this thought - of a certain Major General Michael, Rahul Mookerjee, Uncle Bob - and sometimes, "Ziv". 

Hehe. 

We (Michael and myself) started Dongguan Expat (well, he started it, but the bulk of the work in many regards was done by me) - then invited Bob and Ziv into it, then competition grew, Bob started his own competing site with me doing the programming stuff, and pretty soon, it was hilarious - downright hilarious - the "Competing" aspect of this which I never got into. 

Bob would advertise something, the General would follow suit. 

General would do something on his website - Bob would follow suit. 

Yours truly just chuckled at it all - like ole Clint in "the Dollar series". 

No, I wasn't playing both sides. 

I was being pretty honest about it all! 

But either way, I was being SMART is the best way to put it really - either way, ultimately, it was DG Expat that "won" in all regards, while Uncle Bob, bless his souls site never really took off in any regard. 

You can't ape an original, my friend. 

you can try. 

But being a shameless ape (in some cases parading your bitch tits while doing something so horrific I wouldn't even call it a toddler pull-up -ugh - believe me, there was an ape I saw last month doing such a belch - or puke worthy version of the pull-up that I didnt just block him from all my communications - I did that a while back - I even deleted cookies from my browser so I NEVER go to that page again by mistake. Ugh!) ... well, it does two things my friend. 

Unlike with most people, it makes me "giggle". Which is always good, more amusement. 

Not to mention it only proves these ape's loser status - which they themselves are parading in front of the world for all to see. 

What I find really hilarious about these bozos? 

I do something on the site, a day later - like clockwork - they attempt to do the same on their sites, or excuse for sites.

I use profanity in some of my emails, sure enough the next day some of these goggle eyed trolls eagerly haunting the site for "whats he posted next" - will use the exact same wording. same terminology ... 

I get reviews from people telling me how my products and writings have changed thousands of lives, how we continue to motivate, uplift and inspire, and Bozos will parade around the next minute saying "we both do so!". 

It's hilarious, the way people try to "learn for free" here. 

It's even more hilarious how in all cases, bar none, these nuts have been blocked off the site, communications etc - yet they haunt the sites to see "what he's posted" - like a toddler anxiously waiting for Mommy to get back with chocolates - or what not - heart pounding away nineteen to the dozen. 

Its sick in a way, they get off on the humiliation - but hey - to each his (or her, for some of these Liberal "I can't decide my gender" nutwads) own ...

Its sick how (in some cases like Glyn, fat boy, a certain "Keith" and so forth) - they will do ALL they can to get my attention - from whichever perspective. Hehe. 

And it's just hilarious how in many cases they dont even have anything to sell, and what they do have they can't sell. 

Not to mention the hypocrisy of some of the liberal sorts signing up as affiliates, tails wagging, and then claiming ... 

Well, take a look at this -

"Hi! This is <chopped> from Affiliates! Could you change the tenor of your words please? My girlfriend gets really offended at some of your writing about ... <chopped>

... <personal info chopped>

"

This was, believe it or not - or maybe if you're into the Brittney Griner crap going on (come to think of that - are there any depths of stupidity the Biden Admin won't plunge to?? The Russians, I can hear them cackling at the idiocy, so they should!) a 40 year old WOMAN SAYING THIS!

Look, honey, if your girlfriend dont like it, tough shit, you were well aware of what you signed up for. 

Of course, the girlfriend loves the fitness bit ... Hehe. 

And of course, these liberal sorts are hypocrites that will gladly take it up the ass if it means a few extra bucks for dinner that night. (even funnier, a lot of these guys, gals, in betweens couldn't sell a $5 fitness ebook without whining about price if they tried. Truly. these sorts are just SICKENING. The world has WAY too many losers!). 

Hehe. 

Anyway ........................ 

These losers truly do disgust me, but in a weird way, like I mentioned before, it's just another indication of whose star is rising continuously, and whose never rose to begin with - pun not intended, especially NOT on that latter part. Hehe. 

Anyway - back to sanity - I've been receiving RAVE reviews from people already on the Pushup Central workout videos - although it's just been a day since we got it up. I've no doubt the same will happen with Squat 101 too very soon ... but MORE people have bought Pushup Central (for now) than the latter, which makes sense, the latter only came out this year - and so for all these people, I'm back to creating MORE discount codes - and remember, those of you that have bought the book - you're entitled to the video part of it - and no, you dont need to "pay again" for the book - hence the discount. 

And, remember to place the pre -order for Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness while you can at the current price, something tells me that long overdue project will be out next. 

Thats that!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

"Old habits die hard", goes the saying ... 

Yet do they really if one sticks to what one wants to do, and does the thing regularly? 

I dont know why, I've been thinking about this since I woke up - for some odd reason, the thought popped into my mind that a certain point in my life, stepping outside the house in the morning without my morning shower seemed utterly unthinkable - much like going to bed without my (at that time piping hot) shower did. 

It just didnt feel right. No why! 

(as they say in China, no why, hehe). 

Upon arriving in China at the age of 23 ,I was nigh amazed to discover a brand new world out there. 

I wont get into the more salacious aspects of this lovely new world ? - you guys get the drift. 

But, one of the things I found insane at the time was the Chinese took a shower - or bath, whichever - at NIGHT. Never in the mornings. 

To them it was as alien as it was to me to NOT take a shower in the mornings. 

And no, they didnt all smell terrible - the ones that did never took care of personal hygiene either way - which could happen anywhere in the world. Ugh, that stench you get coming off some people, especially in the winter "its too cold to shower". Pah! 

I thought about it. 

And it made sense. 

The Chinese are particularly fastidious about the nightly "bath" or rinsing or shower - I remember a certain Carol once telling me "you sleep in different bed then!" when I was rebelling against her telling me to go shower (we hadn't done much that required it anyway that day, I think or maybe we had). 

That never happened. LOL. 

But, think about it, if you bathe at night, unless you sweat buckets for whatever reason while sleeping, it makes sense in an odd manner - you wont be "dirty" upon waking up. 

In any case, it's physical exercise that really cleans the way it matters - the body - from the inside out. 

Martin Farmer Burns wrote about that in his sage manner in "Lessons of Wrestling and Physical Culture" if I've got the book name right - I suspect not, hehe - "lessons in"- that the average laborer sweating it out all day is likely far, far cleaner than the average Joe preening himself or herself and lathering on fancy lotions or what not while being sedentary all day in the office. 

And it's true. 

But back to habits. 

That habit changed for me ... when? I can't even remember, I think after I started climbing the hill? 

No, maybe not then - I think it was after I stopped working for other people at the age of 25?

No, not even then ... 

I have no idea when it changed. I honestly cannot remember, but for years now I've been showering at night - but never in the mornings no matter what. Or post workout if it's an especially sweaty one - in summers etc, but otherwise, never in the mornings. 

And it seems as natural to me as breathing does this habit. 

In the Middle East, the shower is done in the afternoons apparently. 

They sleep for two hours in the afternoon, much like in Spain (do they still do it there??) 

They also have Thursday and Friday off as weekly holidays, not Sat and Sunday ... 

Habits!

Dr Maxwell Maltz wrote about habits in Pyscho Cybernetics, I believe for most people it takes 22 days to form a new habit and stick with it? 

(the subconscious gets the picture?) 

I dont know. 

For me, it takes but a day once I decide on something. 

And while I sometimes find myself reverting back to old habits - some of them die HARD, hehe - for the most part, for yours truly chameleon in every regard, it's as easy to pick up a new habit for me as putting on a new sweatshirt, perhaps. 

Anyway . 

(and it will be for YOU too if you learn how to do it). 

Habits, my friend, are key not just in terms of your personal life. 

They come into play in EVERYTHING you do - business included. 

Por ejempelo, yours truly thinks years ahead in terms of everything - you guys already know this (or you should, at any rate). 

Jeff Bezos was once asked about his stunning results (for Amazon) in 2017 I think. 

He sagely replied by saying "it was baked years ago". (or something to that effect, but you get the gist). 

Thats how I think too. 

And baking means you form a habit, and do the things daily which might not be generating results NOW, but they WILL in the future if you keep at it, have faith, et al - but only if you make repetition of that thing a priority which can only happen if it becomes a HABIT. 

Fact, my friend. 

Anyway - in terms of fitness, once you get the fitness HABIT locked in, it's nigh impossible to shake it - or kick it. 

You can kick nicotine addiction, alcoholism, or drug addiction if you really try. No need for idiotic fancy counseling either, set your mind to it, and just do it (sorry, I know certain people get pissed off at just doing it, but at end of the day YOU have to get down to brass tacks and DO, or it will never ever work long term or at all). 

But when you get the natural high from exercising the right way - and doing deep breathing like I advocate, why would you WANT to kick it? 

In fact even if you programmed your subconscious to turn you back to "el lardass" - I bet it wouldn't accept the command. Hehe. Neither would your conscious mind want to give it, neither should it. 

Moral of the story - FORM the fitness habit. 

Start small, build from there. 

Rome wasn't built in a day - but built it CAN BE. 

Follow along with me in the 0 Excuses Fitness System, and see what is possible for yourself, my friend. 

Follow along with me in the videos I put out regularly, and FIND out that what might seem impossible for now may just be possible quicker than you think. 

And start forming positive habits today - NOW - in EVERY regard. 

Thats that. 

Back soon. 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

Should be a no brainer, right? 

Most would choose the latter "to build strength, muscle and conditioning at a far higher level" - there would be nothing wrong with doing so either, but ... 

Here is the fact, my friend - like a customer Charles Mitchell once told me in 2018 "less than 0.1% of the population can even GET into a handstand and hold". 

By that I mean a proper handstand - held for time as well, preferably at least 30 seconds. 

Those that can, can barely BUDGE from the up position before collapsing down. 

Not to say they "can't" do it. 

They're usually too lazy or too fat - or a combination of both - and wont work at it assidiously. Trust me, if someone like me can get to elite level at them, so can you - so can anyone. Fact. 

But anyway - while doing them today with pull-ups, I was struck by just how EASY they've gotten for me. 

This is a feeling, I thought to myself as the top of my head touched the ground again -I never had even when doing those long workouts for Battletank shoulders - although I did them then, the FEELING was different. 

Sure, add on 3-4 years of solid, continous practice, thats one reason, my overall health and conditioning levels - another reason. Et al.

The real reason, though, my friend is this - STICKING - and always getting back to - and improving on BASICS. 

In Shoulders like Boulders, I gave you some supplementary exercises to do BEFORE you start cranking out handstands, this section is often ignored by people. 

Along with the dip though - a huge, huge exercise in there? 

The FLOOR pushups I give you - specifically, the table, Hindu and REGULAR pushups. 

Trust me on this one, my friend. 

I've said it before, I've given you real life examples, I'll say it again - nothing beats pushups in their own way, not even pull-ups. 

They build and tax the CORE in a manner even pull-ups dont (no, that ain't me saying they're "better" or worse). 

It's a different sort of conditioning from the inside out - to really feel it, you have to do 100-200 pushups daily for years, and add in other core work, but really - if I were to pinpoint the core reason behind this feeling of "easy peasy" for handstand pushups - it would boil down to really scrutinizing my own form daily on regular and other floor pushups, doing them - and getting better with each workout. 

One of those things you'll have to DO to experience, but I've given you the key. 

Now whether or not, as John Walker, another customer famously once told a price wanker "most have been found wanting when it's time to put in the WORK" - you're willing to listen and DO the thing is up to you. 

And dont think for a minute handstand pushups ever get easy to the point you dont get a great workout from doing 'em. 

They never do. 

And level four in the "Shoulders" series will show you that, and then some (in the works as of now). 

In the meantime - have a great day - train hard - and write back - let me KNOW how it GOETH!!!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. - To know all there is about doing pushups at an elite, high class level - invest in Pushup Central NOW. When you get to the point of doing what I do in some of the pictures on the sales page (and if you think thats something, wait till you see the BOOK!) - well, write back again - LET ME KNOW!

In the world famous 0 Excuses Fitness System, yours truly breaks things down and gives you the "10 Commandments of Physical Training" (success at it) before anything else. 

Before the exercises. Before the workouts. Before all of it, because the mind is always the most important. I've made sure to really emphasize this in the first book on pull-ups as well, one of the most notably tough exercises for people to do right, and also in "Shoulders like BOULDERS!" for obvious reasons. 

These lessons and commandments apply not just to fitness, but to life. 

And today I'll give you three golden rules of manifestation which most gurus wont agree with - yet those same so called gurus have either knowingly or unknowingly followed these paths, and are not telling YOU because they're telling you what you want to hear, not what you need to KNOW in this regard. 

Works for fitness - and life both. 

Here it is, if I were to break it down into "three". 

There's more, but these three are core tenets of any sort of successful manifestation which I've struggled with at the start my friend, and it's effortless now.

One, let me tell you what it does NOT involve - saying "I am". 

It doesnt involve becoming a hermit or standing on one leg in the Himalayan mountains, or meditating for days, or growing a long beard like I am right now. 

And any of that self help rot they tell you. 

It aint about the so called Law of Attraction. That is a crock if there ever was - it works, yes, but only in its purest form. 

It's about a lot of hard work first off. 

Second, more importantly. It's about the right WORDS. And FEELING. 

Third, and this is MOST important. 

MENTAL FOCUS is KEY. 

Thats the three commandments in ascending order, my friend. 

Not sexy, not what most self help gurus tell you. 

Look at the lives of most following those self help gurus though ... 

This, my friend - is how you manifest success in ANY Field - fitness or not. 

I'll have more on this subject later, but as I literally live a life of "think and it WILL happen" - remember one thing. 

There is no magic involved. 

It is a rational art and science both. 

Dont think you can go out not having done any workouts in ages and think you can start sprinting up hills like Walter Peyton for one. 

It aint gonna happen. 

Dont think a million dollars will land at your doorstep tomorrow if you just think about it. 

It aint gonna happen. 

Other hand, you do the work, use the right words, most importantly, focus like a horse with blinders on and have FEELING behind not just your self talk but your bloody actions too - and it'll happen like "magic" almost. 

Trust me on this one. 

That, my friend is that . . . 

Zero to Hero and Gumption Galore are but the tip of the iceberg on this one, those that can break down, dissect and analyze success will get it ... 

I'll have more on this in the future as well. 

Thats the update for now. 

Back to the bearded pard doing handstand pushups . . .

I'll tell you one thing - with my high rep workouts, I often wake up sore - so sore in the shoulders sometimes that I can barely put on my T shirt. Hehe. 

It doesn't "hurt" - but it's sore to the bone - there is a difference. 

Ditto for triceps, calves etc. 

Anyway, one area I'm not often sore in - but sometimes am - the lower back. 

Not so much sore as "stiff" occasionally - especially if it's cold and I dont stretch properly post workout (yes, post, not pre!). 

Now, people have come to me with lower back problems galore in the past, and I've ALWAYS told them - and still tell them - to get damn good at the "best damn exercise" ever and all it's variations. 

Along with bridging, there are few better things you can do for the lower back and spine ... 

Or are there? 

I need to come out with an advanced course on bridging - that reminds me, amongst everything else going on, but for NOW - remember this - while my advice is sage and WORKS - for me, for everyone that has used it the right way. there is something else to the equation - another side to the coin that is very rarely acknowledged, or talked about. 

I mention the FRONT bridge in 0 Excuses Fitness. 

When it comes to the lower back, for some reason, most people equate a stronger lower back with workouts and movements that have you moving BACKWARDS - bending the spine BACKWARDS. 

Now - there is NOTHING wrong with this at all, I myself advocate it... 

But if your hamstrings and hips are naturally weak - and tight - mine are - and lots of you fall into this category, then guess what - you MUST work in forward bends as well. 

In Corrugated Core, some of the FRONT bends are really what get your core working, lower back going, and FAT shifting. 

Dont get me wrong back bridging is damn important, I've said that before, I will say it again, but you must stretch both ways. 

In the past - and this was when I was fat (or big as some folks like to call it, but I'd say fat and big both - and yeah, the weights I lifted "showed" - but I'd rather the fat free frame I have now) - I used to bridge a lot, and it helped me - and I bridge even NOW. 

And it helps me even now. 

But for some reason, those reverse movements have been easy for me - even when I was fat. 

This won't be the case for most people. 

But it is for some, while the FORWARD stretches are much, much tougher for these folks - as it was me. 

And for a long time I ignored forward stretching. 

Today, with super sore shoulders, and a "stiff" lower back in the morning, these forward stretches are exactly what I did to get the blood FLOWING. 

Some mentioned in Isometric and Flexibility Training . . .

My point is this, my friend - YES, stretch backwards, BEND that spine as much as you can - but do the same FORWARDS. 

For some reason, again, way too less attention is paid to the "less fancier" forward bends, which in my opinion is a huge huge mistake. 

Calf and hamstring stretches are also ignored a lot of times, but especially the lower back (forward motions). 

In the future I'll even put out some brief videos of me doing forward stretches - for now, the books above are all you need. 

And thats the lesson for this one. 

Back soon. 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. - If you've bought a product, remember to leave a (genuine) review - we love hearing back! 

Not to mention, all those who leave genuine reviews get a 10% discount off their next purchase, can't beat that eh. Not that hard to write a few heartfelt lines. As a customer once said, as the tagline for 0 Excuses Fitness says - DO IT!

Or, just do it, hehe.

Growing up, despite my complete lack of real world (or any) fitness (despite being skinny as heck) - - there was one thing that set me apart from pretty much everyone else in the family. 

I should say "one MORE thing". Hehe. 

That being, the black flask. 

Back in the day Mom would have a black flask on the mantelpiece which we'd drink water from - except that damn thing was always empty because I'd be refilling my cup from it ALL The time. 

It almost became a running joke, my love for "water". 

I did it naturally, mind you - there was no "pressuring me" to do it, I had no information on why it was good, and so forth, I only learned/figured that out YEARS later. 

That memory came back to me when I was Googling around idly looking at some of the foolishness out there that passes for "ab work" (hint - for REAL core work like you ain't never ever seen it done - Corrugated Core is your baby) - and some news about Bruce Lee and his untimely death struck me as being odd. 

Upon clicking and researching more (do your research, you'll find it) - I'm not sure if the news is even accurate. 99.999% of it these days has the smell of "ripe BS" coming off it, but this, I dont know, maybe, maybe not, although why the scientists waited 50 years after the man's "passing" to tell us his brain swelling might have been caused by too much water is a complete mystery to me for one. 

Thats what they say killed him apparently (his untimely death - not painkillers). 

I call bullshit on both. 

I doubt someone like Bruce Lee relied much on painkillers, whatever they had back then. 

I seriously, highly doubt someone like him especially with his Asian heritage would drink "too much water" to the extent he'd die from it. 

True, too much of anything is never good. 

But its very hard, especially for elite athletes working out damn near all day long to drink the amount of water that would kill them - even if they tried. 

Maybe it was just his time, maybe he had kidney issues, I dont know, but despite being on a juice fast/diet before his death, I doubt "too much water" had anything to do with it. 

I myself am probably going to start a fast tonight, how long it goes is anyone's guess, maybe I'll shoot for 5 days as i did last time. 

Maybe not. 

We'll see, but I know one damn thing when I'm fasting, I drink EVEN more water - not because I feel hungry, but just because I want to flush my body out completely (and I drink tons of water anyway). 

I'm also huge on NATURAL green tea as you guys know - not the tea bag crap you see everywhere. 

I'm 100% sure Bruce Lee was a fan of that too, and as I once told a certain Brooks about myself "he drinks pots and pots of green tea" (hey, I did, and still do, I used to make it in the coffee maker back then, oddly enough, the perocolation works great with green tea!). 

Anyway............................ 

For most of you reading this, let me tell you my friend, you need more water. 

Probably a hell of a lot more water than you are drinking right now, and no, the "urine color" test isn't always that accurate either. 

Drink at least 12 oz per two hours is what I'd say (waking time) - no, like I say in the Simple and Effective Diet, coffee, colas, etc dont count - green tea etc is great, but plain ole water has it's benefits, and then some, never skip it. 

As an ex kept telling me, drink, drink, drink! 

And make sure the water you drink is of HIGH quality - that reminds me, I gotta go get my water dispenser fixed sometime - or revert back to bottles like I have used most of my life . . .

Water is one of the best substances you can put in your system, my friend - I highly recommend you drink up on a daily basis, and lots of it too. 

I'll have more on this subject later, but for now thats that. 

Oh, remember to workout hard too - the 0 Excuses Fitness System is your baby there. 

Back soon.

Friend, 

I dont know why, but I felt compelled to post this video - again. 

I just love dead hangs like nothing else - they are one of the BEST isometric movements you can do for the upper body - bar none. 

Often times I'll start my day with a 30 second dead hang even before my beloved Squats. 

With good reason, along with clubs (which are great to do with pushups, btw - a GREAT movment! They really loosen up the triceps and get the blood flowing again) - they loosen and strengthen the lower back - or entire back, I should say, upper especially like nothing else. 

I still remember Dad when I was young trying - and falling down after a second. Hehe. 

Unfortunately I never did them when I was young. 

But I do them all the time, today was another dead hang day, I loved it! 

Without further ado, here is the video for those that cannot see it at the bottom of the page - Friend,

PS - This is one movement that will like the actual pull-up itself in any of its shapes, forms and guises BRUTALLY expose not just fat around the midsection, but if you're overweight in general, you wont be able to do it for any appreciable length of time - period. Most people that are fat try to avoid pull-ups anyway (big mistake) and whine about "your nonsense about just do it when you could tell people to do assisted pull-ups". 

Sorry, that isn't there (assisted pull-ups or in any appreciable form, even horizontal pull-ups mostly - though I believe I put that in one book somewhere) in either Pull-ups - from DUD to STUD within a matter of WEEKS! - or Pull-ups -from STUD to super STUD within WEEKS! 

I dont handhold or baby sit pansies. 

When I could do not do an exercise, I hammered myself relentlessly until I could do it, simple as that, so should you if you want to get good at something, no excuses pal. 

I really want to get one taken with my thick gripz, see how that pans out (video on that - and on THICK BARS outdoors!). 

All in good time. Hehe.

I will never forget the experience I had climbing the hill once in China - when a gaggle of schoolkids stopped me before I was even halfway up. 

From a distance, the chorus started. 

"Mei Guo Ren, Mei Guo Ren!" 

(American, American in Mandarin Chinese)

"USA...........!" 

If you've seen the scene in the famous movie Bloodsport where Van Damme and his pal enter the "Walled City" where they are stopped at the entrance by people checking - their guide ushers them in, but not before one of the guards chimes in with this ...

"USA! OK! ?" 

Right down to the thumbsup. 

Its hilarious but true - that is how it is often in China. 

"Hen duo Qian!" was the next chant. 

(a lot of money) 

For reference, at the time - this was years ago - I was hardly even at the financial level I am at now. 

(which I'm hardly a millionaire now, neither have I ever claimed to be one, nor is that goal - though I probably to be honest will be one someday. Hehe).

I found it interesting, I told my wife, who was ranting as usual. 

"No money, yet they look at you that way and think so highly of you". 

I didnt reply, but I grinned. 

Little did she know. 

The secret I've been using before dumbphones and so forth . . . before all the so called motivational videos came out, before a lot of the crap passing for "self help" came out - a lot of the crap these lunatic Nazi feminists live and swear by. 

And it's simple - I THINK rich. 

Most of these idiots on their videos think they think that way too, but their reality shows otherwise. 

Anyway, it wasn't just one time, I've often been taunted in the past this way by the lovely wife who when she's in a good mood sends me long odes of "I want to sit at your feet forever" (true story my friend, I've got the emails if you're so interested) and bad, well you read it. HEhe. 

"You're a business man! You are rich, you have money, you travel to so many countries!" 

And it's people supposed to be closest to me that have done it but you know whats funny?

This whole "you're soooooooooooooo rich" thing I keep getting. 

(not to mention the sheer impotency behind the comments - these usually come from women, because they know, as a certain Charles said "you wont smack 'em in the head". And coming from my dumb ass wife whose day consists of being Buddha in the bed on an old creaky laptop with an external HDD attached so she can hammer her brain with meaningless videos all day - I can sort of understand the frustration she has about "me going here, there, and her precisely NOWHERE". Well, my dear, if you'd stop being a complete cunt for one ... ah, but wait. That isn't part of their lexicon!). 

And of course, the business is great when the money rolls in, when it doesnt, according to the wife "it's an useless biz". 

For reference, she was referring to the trading business which we were literally rollin in money before COVID hit, of course, once it did it was my fault. Hehe. 

We - or I, rather, am back up to steam there, but thankfully without my idiotic wife (the first time I was forced to depend on her for deliveries, now I just pay someone to do it). 

When these same people watch motivational *so called* videos all day long - which tell them to affirm "I'm rich!" to themselves, but yet those riches never quite materialize - when these same people affirm to themselves "I'm happy" - yet stay in "three days foul mood, one day so so, then the mood swings back to super jubilant the next ..." 

I did a brief talk on this here - a must watch, but in short, affirmations only work if you use them right and understand them, most do not, never will (because they're too damn lazy for one). 

I can almost predict it, hehe. Come to think of it, I can predict it like clockwork, and I play these people like fools all the time. Hehe. 

Look, it's all about the subconscious mind and activating it at levels that most people dont. 

And empty affirmations backed up without any sort of emotion for one - or fake emotion - doesnt work. 

Your mind isn't stupid, and it knows the reality of the empty bank account staring back at you, my friend - hehe (to the Nazi feminists). 

And thats how it will be unless you do what is REQUIRED. 

Anyway - point of this? 

Lots of you deal with this on a daily basis, and feel trapped, but you dont have to my friend. 

You dont necessarily need to go full on MGTOW either though that wouldn't be a bad thing. 

If you want to profit and benefit from these Nazi feminists and others of their ilk at unimaginable levels in manners even you didnt dream possible - well pick up "How to not only COMBAT - but profit from Nazi feminists BIG TIME from the Nazi feminist disease PLAGUING modern day society NOW. 

And that, my friend is that. 

Back soon! 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - The male equivalent of the Nazi feminist is usually a loser troll - of which there are tons in this world. 

Learn how to benefit at levels hitherto dreamed IMPOSSIBLE by investing in the one and only book of it's kind HERE. 

I've been giving out a lot of free tips these days (which I normally reserve for my books and the Ship members) to my email list. 

About how to do advanced exercises, how to get more reps, and a lot of everything in fact - you'll want to sign up for the newsletter if you ain't signed up already here. 

And, you'll want to subscribe to our Youtube Channel here - lots of great stuff! 

Anyway - today's tip? 

Last afternoon, we were doing a short video on pull-ups and dead hangs, and at the end of it I decided to give yall viewing a tip on increasing REP count. 

When you're fatigued, when you think you can't do any more pushups, when you can't pull - "at all" - when you're at that point, really speaking, you've only gone to about 30% of your capacity my friend. 

David Goggins said this in one of his books too - and he is right. 

But I'm not asking you to give it 100 plus percent in each workout that way - you'd probably burn out unless that is all you were focusing on (although admittedly some of us manage it) ... 

I'm simply giving you a tip on INCREMENTAL progress - which is ultimately what leads to big gains. 

At the end of that video, you will see that I tell you the exact words to use to say to yourself when you're in that situation. 

i.e. you can't get even a single more rep! 

Or half of it ... 

"Lets do 3 more, just 3 more!" 

The word in bold is KEY. 

Words, my friend, paint a PICTURE in your mind. 

When your mind sees "just" - it thinks of "oh, something easy there". 

And it prods your subconscious into doing the thing, which then calls upon your reserves, and you pump out more reps - or do the dead hang for longer as was the case in that video. 

I can easily go up to a minute in the dead hang, perfect form. 

I've done up to two minutes - and I could go for longer probably using the tip above - in an exercise most people, even a lot of fit guys - struggle to do. (dead hang, forget the pull-up, haha). 

If you say "lets do 3 more" (or 5, or whatever) - you might not get that same impact. 

Because then the mind never goes in to "easy peasy lemon squeezy" mode if you get my drift. 

That, my friend, is a very powerful technique indeed - if you care to listen and implement. 

In that video my little girl mentioned something - a riposte - about "but your name is not Justin". 

On the spur, in the flow, I wasn't sure why she said that. 

Given a guy named Justin wants to market on this site today, well, maybe thats why. Hehe. 

We'll see what happens with Justin ... but as an aside, many years ago, I was at Enterprise Rent a Car in NY (is it still around? I'll Goggle! (Freddie said Goggle, I must too!)) with the girlfriend at the time, I wasn't 21 - she was over 21, (I was a few months shy) - and despite a lot of pleading they wouldn't let me rent in my name - which means the insurance wasn't in my name - which means I couldn't drive for those few months. 

Ugh! 

I remember telling co-workers how I had to ask my girlfriend to get smokes for me (although sometimes we got 'em online). Hehe. 

One guy for whatever reason used to buy them from me at work - maybe he wasn't allowed to smoke at home? 

Anyway .................... 

(he'd often show up at my desk "just one more", lol). 

I still remember guy at Enterprise smirking at me and doing his version of being a smart guy and telling me "Thats the KEY age" i.e.21.

Well, we reached that key age shortly thereafter, a brother (a big burly brother if you get mah drift, hehe) hooked me up with a SUV instead of the economy car we budgeted for as I showed up to the house with the girlfriend in tears "because I took so long". 

Ah, the memories, including driving the SUV on the highways as it tilted on the sharp bends up in Maine ...

Man, that water was COLD, cold, cold! I didnt do any Brooks Kubik style workouts on that damn beach, the water touched my little toe, I damn near froze. 

Hotel (motel) had a nice little heated pool though, if I was there NOW - I'd probably jump in the ocean anyway. Hah. 

Anyway, I dont know why this email showed up in reverse, memories later, info first. 

Such as it Is. 

And since this isnt a travelogue, I'll end it here. 

Back soon - but thats the key word!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - The key word to turn around your fitness in terms of supreme conditioning workouts - that build health, strength and vitality all in one quick (or many quick) movements - is Animal Kingdom Workouts - and the key word there - BUY. 

Nothing happens until you get off your duff and do, way too many of you haven't as yet! Hehe. 

PS #2 - Along with the "Goggle" part, well, once, back in the day, I accidentally pronounced Skype as "Sky pee" in a meeting. 

OK, enough with the ridiculous memories in that regard, but it was hilarious, to me at least - in China though thats how they say it, so it wasn't even noticed. Hehe. I did though later!
