So yesterday I drank 4 liters of water. That’s four 33 ounce bottles for a total of 132 ounces of water. With Superhydration, you aim to drink your weight in water, so if you weigh 180, you drink 180 ounces. Yes that is a lot of water and no, you won’t get water poisoning from it, unless you’re dumb enough to drink it all at once. The fine print.. this is if you lead an incredibly active lifestyle.

I am not outdoors hiking up mountains or mountain biking like crazy so instead of drinking 100% of my goal, I aim for 75% area. I am active, I’m just jogging everywhere I go, ya know?

So what can I tell you after drinking that much water? Well, you piss a lot. I mean, A LOT. Every ten minutes you’re going back. I wish I was lying. It fades off though so you’re back to normal. I woke up feeling bloated and fat, an added bonus. That went away and yes, I am right back on the water train as I type this, 1L done and 3 more to go.

Note to self: Self, the key is to start early in the day so you’re not doing this right before bed.

Why drink this much water?

Simple, it flushes out the toxins. If you drink this much, you WILL lose weight. Not might. WILL. I have helped a lot of people tone up, lose weight, get their life back on track and it makes me smile. I figure it’s about time I start to kick some ass as well. =)

Next week I am shooting for a nude site. I get people wanting to see me naked often so I figure this will be a good way to give them what they want, and make a buck or maybe a buck fidy as well.

No fuckhole, I am not shooting for a site next week. Sheesh. I like to throw in things to keep ya on your toes.

So I am working away, wanting to be outdoors… but still sitting here at my desk, working away. Stuff to be done, ya know? Bella is starting to really spread it’s wings. Five girls and no, we’re not done just yet. Six sites total right now but considering one year ago Bella had ONE site, and in one year we’ve added five sites… you’d be a tard if you did the math and thought we’re done. =)

Shit, I wanted this to be a healthy talk and work has weaseled it’s way in, AGAIN!

Let’s flip this back to fitness, shall we?

Are you big boned? Is that the reason you think you’re bigger? You’ve been told you’re bigger because you’re big boned… right? Mom and Dad told us this because they were killing us with kindness and rather than admit that yes, they’d spawned unhealthy habits that were ultimately going to cause you years and years of pain… it’s easier to cover it up with a ‘you’re big boned’ lie. Hey, you used to believe it, didn’t you?

Wait.. you still believe it? Ack.

Look below.

On the left, a “big boned” person. On the right, a healthier person. Notice I didn’t say ‘normal’ because nowadays it seems it’s normal to have a lard ass. Why? None of us like having a lard ass. When I feel like a tubby fuck, it’s never a good thing. I’m far from a tubby fuck, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t days when I feel bloated or disgusting.

So next time you look in the mirror ask yourself this one important question:

Are you happy with your body?

If yes, party the fuck on. If no, know that YOU can change it. It’s nowhere near as hard as you think it is. I would be honored to help you out and get you back on track. Thing is, you really have to want it badly to succeed. I can be your online trainer for as long as it takes you to read an email or blog post but after that, you’re on your own so if you sneak some pizza or mcdonalds, you’re only fucking yourself.

With that said, I am off to shower, rinse my balls and get on with my day.

GO DRINK SOME FUCKING WATER!

I forgot I posted the image above some time back, with more details about the image etc… read that old post here.

One of the downsides with drinking a decent amount of water in a short window of time, say one liter in 45 minutes, is the headache that follows. I am ramping up my water intake, aiming for 6-8 liters per day. That’s roughly 200-275 ounces of water per day.

Flushing your system of toxins, as well as providing your body with an amazingly clean transport system is always a good thing. I’ve been eating more junk food then I care to admit the past few days, and I feel like ass because of it. We all fall off the wagon sometimes, right? Key is to not beat yourself up over the things you cannot change or take back. The key is to learn from these errors or weaknesses and move forward.

I just sucked back a 1L bottle of water in about 42 minutes and currently, my temples are thumping. My body will adjust of course. I just started my second liter of water as well. Today I shall spend a decent amount of time in the lavatory. Hurray.

Ideally, you aim for 1L every 90-120 minutes. This gives your kidneys time to process and your body adjusts. Doing the way I just did it, is dumb to be blunt. You get a headache, a slight stomach ache and you feel bloated as fuck.

So who’s with me? Sept 1, 2010 I will be starting a new eating/workout regime based of Dr Ellington Darden’s teachings. The guy knows his stuff, no question. Superhydration is at the heart of the new challenge, it involves drinking massive amounts of water daily. 5-10L of ice cold water, each and every day. Give your body fat a transport system to flush the hell out with!

The key here is to not only trim body fat %, but also to increase muscle mass. This is accomplished by taking your weight and then multiplying that by 2.5. This is your goal for protein intake on a daily basis. Yes, I know that’s a lot of protein. Protein is the building block for your muscle, so if you’re ripping, tearing, making it happen.. replenishing your protein will make all the difference.

You want a body that turns heads? Take it. Get it. It’s yours, you already have the ability, you just have to want it. Trust me guys, there is nothing that compares to the feeling you’ll get when your girl looks at you and smiles because she sees the changes in your body. If you don’t have a girl, kick ass and improve your quality of life and the rest falls into place. when you stop worrying, stop caring about the little things and put yourself first.. the rest truly falls into place. Take care of your body, and your body will take care of you, ya know?

Why Sept 1?

Well, mid Sept is my birthday. I am already in the best shape of my life but it’s time to truly push myself to my limits, and beyond. I have a great deal of responsibility on my plate before Sept 1, sites I need to get pushed out and online, networks to set up, members to make happy.. and as much as I want to take care of James, making sure the members are happy, is deadly important. You guys are the reason I am fortunate enough to do what I do. Know where your bread is buttered, ya know? I am simply too damn busy up until Sept 1. I’ll post more around Sept 1, you’ll easily understand why the date was pushed back to there.

So, hit me up if you want to jump onto this challenge with me. Working out and eating right with partners is always easier and I’m here for you if you’re there for me! Together we’ll push each other, we’ll help each other, we’ll accomplish our goals!

ps.. get yourself a set of body fat calipers and a good scale. This challenge is a no bullshit challenge, if you’re not ready and willing to throw it all into the ring, don’t step up!

Any of you geeks want to push the envelope? This geek says fuck yes!

One of the things I love about the internet is how some people will preach and hate on others, yet they do it through methods as anonymous as possible. Today, I had a nice little peace of hate mail.

Made me laugh, but what made me laugh most I think, was that the douche didn’t even have the gonads to man up and post the message as himself. Instead, he chose to be someone named “Dog”. his email of course, dog@dog.com (fake, dur) Oh no, he called me a pussy. What will I do?

He was impressed with my bowlfex posts and felt he should voice his opinion regarding weights. As an ex-personal trainer that has used free weights more than any other method until recently, I can totally understand cupcake would make the assumption that the bowflex is not worthy. I thought the very same thing until I tried it. I thought the bowflex was an awesome clothes hanging piece of furniture. For some of you, sadly, it is.

Thing is, Dog calls me a “pussy” for not using barbells (MUSCLE MILK!!! GRUNT!!!) yet he doesn’t have the balls to post a name or email address. (weird thing is, I do have a set of adjustable dumbbells)

Truth be known, when I read the email, the very first thought to come to mind… I bet it’s some fat fuck that is pissed at the world because he can’t get a girlfriend, people give him dirty looks when he’s the line at KFC. Why a fat fuck? I dunno, maybe it’s because most overweight people I know are very angry. I am certain there are some larger people that are cool people that aren’t angry and are just kick ass happy people. Being large doesn’t make you an asshole. Being spineless does though. I figure this turd burglar is an overweight hater because guys that have any sense of fitness appreciate the amount of work and effort that goes into working out, eating clean etc. I’m far from perfect and I’ve said this from the start. I’m not some Superman, but at least I have conviction and most of all, I don’t post on blogs, hating on others using fake names. I’m easy to dislike though, I’m pretty bad ass and well, clearly you (dog) are not.

Have another twinkie, dude. You downvote me using the bowflex because you are cranky at life. I get it, princess. No worries. Sad thing is…if you knew anything about working out, you’d know using *anything* to get fit is points in the win column. I’ve used free weights, I’ve used the bowflex. I used free weights for years and in the months I have been using the bowflex my body is ripping into shape a LOT faster. Wait, am I saying the bowflex offers a better workout than free weights? Yes fucktard, that is exactly what I am saying. If you’d used one for any length of time, you’d understand this.

Free weights are amazing, if I was trying to gain serious bulk or if I was on juice, without question free weights are the way to go. Am I doing either of these? Nope. I’m trying to tone and in doing so, I am gaining muscle, gaining size, gaining happiness most of all.

Yes, I love the internet, we can be anything we want on it. We can make fun of people (like I did of this spineless hater) or we can grow a pair and stand behind the things we say. Conviction is something that eludes many, not sure why. Stand behind your words and you’ll find you’re a lot happier.  Just my two cents.

Now, with that said…

The BOWFLEX! I can’t wait to get back on it tomorrow. This last week I have been in ‘off’ mode because we had family out staying with us. We were not on schedule, we were eating whatever, whenever. I wasn’t going nuts with food, but I wasn’t doing what I should of been doing. I was eating whatever I wanted. I gained all of a pound, if I am lucky. Metabolism FTW. If you’re working out and pushing yourself hard, you can get away with little discrepancies.

I cannot wait to get back to being on track. I stopped using ICON btw, the shit was giving me a pimple factory on my neck and well, I am not a fan.

I am going to go now.. but before I do, here’s a pic for my hater. This is not a real girl, this is computer generated. You are welcome.

Better yet, kick it over to MyFreeCams and whack it to some hot ass models. Seriously, you should check out MFC.

Have a kick ass FRIDAY motherfuckers!

So we’ve had the Bowflex now for a little over 2 months. I think… maybe it’s been longer? I could check my blog to confirm, but meh.. 2 months area sounds close enough.

Has my body changed? YES. I have gained muscle, I have gained tone. Am I happier? Fuck yes. Am I as cut as I expected myself to be? Fuck no. I was pushing myself, but perhaps not hard enough. I think I’ve been over eating to be honest.

I did some more research and I read some of this book by a Doc named Ellington Darden and he has run tests on subjects over a six week period, where he found the ideal calorie intake for a male wanting to tone as well as build muscle, is 1900 calories.

Let me say that again, 1900 calories.

My shakes are 1100 calories EACH and I have between 2 and 3 a day depending on if it’s an on day or off day workout wise, and that doesn’t count my pre shake that is 390 calories, or my food intake for the day, or anything else. In short, I am consuming 3500-4000 calories.

Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail Fail

So now, today, right now in fact… I start a new six week workout plan. This plan was set in motion by Dr Darden, and it works on the people that have followed it.

Going from 3500-4000 calories to 1900 calories will be tough at first, I’ll probably be hungry a lot. I can fool my body though by drinking more water. A lot more water. Hydration is an essential part of weight loss and muscle building.

ok, pep talk over. I worked out about 30 minutes ago, just had a new shake.. 390 calories versus 1100 calories. 55g of protein though, so that’s good. I need 175-250 g of protein per day, so I’m off to a good start.

Shower time.
