Once in a lifetime offer! Blahblibbity blah sales pitch here! Get ready, this is going to be awesome! (yeah, oh joy)
Hey (insert name here)
Even though I am emailing you directly, don’t respond because I will never get back to you…I don’t even check my own email. It’s called marketing!
I have some kick ass news for you today!
Because you’re one of my faithful readers, we have negotiated a great deal with (insert product here). This thing blows the socks off the other (insert product here) out there!
It wasn’t easy, so I had to promise I would only make it available for 7 days, and copies are limited! (even tho it’s a pdf book) For the first 100 people to email us get this promotion. Don’t worry, we never sell your info…and you’ll only get 3 stupid emails like this from me each day! So, act now, and change your life for good! Rest assured, I am talking to YOU….not some mass email list.
Wait, what are we selling on this one?
Oh yeah, its free but we need your credit card because you definitely need a new set of tips each month for just $49. You never know when some ground breaking new exercise or machine will come out!
Yeah! Blow me…. Man…shut the fuck up already! Seriously, it’s annoying now. I am about one nerve away from calling out names and being black-balled for good.
You want to know a secret? THERE ARE NO FUCKIN SECRETS!
It’s called a commitment to fitness and nutrition. Whatever it is, losing weight, getting stronger, etc… Basic lifting, good eating, and proper recovery, is all you need. Before you get these down, stop reading everything!
It’s hilarious how many people change their ‘views’ on things once profit gets involved. I will find articles on how the kettlebell is not an efficient tool, but then see kettlebells listed on the website….of course set up as an affiliate deal. I remember a couple people swearing against the methods used by Crossfit, then completely turning into a human crossfit advertising machine. Seriously? The same holds true with olympic lifts, They hate em one month, useless…the next we have instructional DVDs being sold on their site, and now it’s ’something you MUST do’ for total progression. Never once saying, ‘I was wrong’ and have some new info.
Seriously, make up your fuckin mind!
Listen, with no money at stake…ill let you in on some secrets for the average person.
1. Only true advanced lifters need to worry about ‘changing’ things up very often. Chains, special jackets, state of the art machinery and supplements…etc. Most of these other guys keep new clients on the same shit for at least a year, until the basics are met.
2. If you don’t squat, learn how.
3. Deadlifts….see #2.
4. Your cardio should be brief bursts, but intense.
5. You CANNOT get a six pack of abs if you are still ‘fat’. You lose fat, you gain abs. It does not happen the other way, no matter how many books you read.
6. Nutrition is going to be argued until the end of time. There is not many that agree on all. Just look at how many DOCTORS have come out with completely different diets….DOCTORS, not trainers. Do some research on your own. I mean real research, not something a supplement ad told you. My main rule is to eat real food, not tainted with science.
7. For you muscle mag readers….many of the top mags are owned by supplement companies. Ha! It’s a great way to advertise your shit.
8. Your weight loss products are filled with poison and lack real nutrients.
9. Most protein powders contain soy, which has shown to have negative impact on male testosterone levels over time. FYI: test is good for muscle growth.
10. You are a guinea pig. You will have to find out what works for yourself. 99% of people CANNOT follow anything 100%.
Yes sir, this has proven safe and to help build muscle. Asterisk.
The biggest secret of them all, which Zach Even Esh posted about….it’s called hard work.
Giving up your favorite shit food for fruit is hard work. Stretching even tho you’re in a rush is hard work. Keeping track of food logs and always striving to make the next killer workout, is hard work. Cooking your own food, cutting back on portions, or forcing yourself to eat for muscle…is all hard work.
Fuck that, Mike! I mean, who has time for all that anyhow? We have lives, we’re busy! That’s too much work…
But really, is it? I think having a real disability and fighting thru it, is really, really, hard work.
It’s no wonder the diet and supplement industry are so huge… People already know the truth. They would like to think there may be something else tho. Regardless of what pill does what, and what foods add muscle faster…it all comes down to ass kicking hard work….and discipline.
People these days hate hard work. Unfortunately for them, they have not invented a pill or powder that keeps you motivated and focused on your goals…and especially one that makes hard work, easy. So, if you are not willing be disciplined and put in the hard work…I have nothing to sell you.
Now stop looking for magic beans and get out there and killlit!

PS: Don’t get me wrong…there are tons of good info out there, and I have mentioned some of the sites quite a few times. Stop being lazy…

11. It’s NOT “too hard”. Whatever you want to do, real people have done it. And they had other hassles and obligations in their lives, too. Don’t whine that God didn’t give you the “willpower gene”…shut up and be ready to make sacrifices.
Good one.
Thanks for being a trooper!
