Saying “NO” to Bro-Science saves you money and wasted time in the long run, and forces supplement companies (as well as companies making other scam BS junk connected to the fitness/health/BBing industry) to stop with the hype marketing based on Bro-Science and forces them to actually spend money on research.

The Bro-Science stops with YOU!

I’ll pick a winner each month. Winner gets a whole mess of goodness:

• An interview post dedicated to you on the BrinkZone, with link back to your web page/URL of your choosing. I’ll send you the questions. The BrinkZone gets 50,000+ unique visitors per month and over 330.000+ page views, and growing, so that’s not small traffic potentially for someone looking to get “noticed” and drive some traffic to their site. In addition to your winning picture, you can add two additional pictures of your choice.*

• A mail out to my extensive (read large…) mailing lists announcing you as the winner, and directing them to see your pic, read your interview, and see your site

• Free access to either my Body Building Revealed Program or Fat Loss Revealed Program (your choice!) . Go check out the costs of those programs to see what you’re getting for the simple cost of a T shirt. Anyone with either program will tell you it’s money well spent and probably saves on the costs of the program 10X per year due to what you learn about supplements alone!

• Regardless of winning or not, your pic will be added to the members T shirt picture gallery, which still gets some respectable traffic. See the most recent members pictures HERE

And of course, you can always submit another picture for the next month’s win!

What you have to do to win:

Get a T shirt (or other garment you like) of any style, etc, and send me a picture. See the many styles, cuts, logos, etc HERE with examples of members wearing a small sample of what’s available HERE

The picture you submit picture can be what ever you want: funny, cool, sexy, what ever. Just make it compelling and BrinkZone winner worthy! That’s all you have to do!

I’d say this contest is about as good an ‘investment’ as it gets, and at worst, you end up with a really cool T shirt! Contest starts officially Feb First and winner picked at the end of each month.

Note: First contest was to help me with a slogan for the BrinkZone apparel. However, this will be an ongoing contest and the winner, for their minimal investment, wins big!

However, as human beings are highly visual creatures, I decided a vid on some tricks used to “pad” resumes may be of interest and utility, and show some of my own accomplishments and “creds” as it relates to the health/fitness industry. Note, there are some very smart people out there giving some great info and advice.

However, for everyone of those, there’s 100 wanna be types who truly have no business supplying the advice they do, and use all manner of tricks to sell products to people. That is bad for the industry in general in my view. Thus, it behooves people to take some extra time to perhaps track down some of the claims made by those giving advice on health, fitness, bodybuilding, weight loss, etc., and don’t take claims of accomplishments at face value.

As mentioned in the vid (“See bio below this video” comments made in the vid), click HERE or the “Bio” option at the top of the page for additional info if interested.

You can slowly ramp up the difficulty by increasing the physical difficulty, and or increasing the shooting difficulty, or both.

Might start with 10 push ups, five tire flips, engage target at 7 yards.
Progressions might be 1 min of pushups, 10 tire flips, 10 rear sled drags, and add stress/difficulty to the shooting; on the move, from cover, or other.

My focus is on the exercise component and don’t make claims to being a BTDT firearms instructor, but a performance trainer who works with tac LE on ways of improving stress training and I enjoy ad hoc “functional” style range days such as found in this vid.
Programming should still attempt to balance volume of antagonist muscles , such as pushups followed by sled rows, etc. which can reduce potential for injuries and improve training effects long term.
However, you have to work with what you have, which in this case was a truck tire, length of phone pole, sled, and a few 25lb plates.

Yes, a pumpkin was injured during the filming of this vid. My apologies in advance to all pumpkin lovers out there

And what is this Fein stuff mentioned in the vid? I cover that in my article “What You Need To Know About Caffeine!” if interested.

The Daily Show with John Stewart did a segment on Planet Fitness which shows them for the company they are. Had I written the script myself for the person they sent to represent the company, I could not have done a better job making them look so ridiculous as Jason Jones does in this (must see!!!) segment of the Daily Show called:

People have asked me about BrinkZone T shirts for years, and I’ve finally gotten off my butt to make it happen. Below are the designs/colors I’m considering. However, what I need to really make them a “must have” T shirts is a great motto- and or artwork – for the back of the T Shirt.

So, I’m going to have a contest! Submit the motto and or artwork you think best represents what the BrinkZone is about, and you will win a free T shirt and free access to either my Body Building Revealed or Fat Loss Revealed Programs!

I’m going to run this contest from Sept. 5th to Oct 5th, and then I’ll choose my favorite of what is submitted for a motto and or artwork, and the shirt will be available shortly after that!

What am I looking for? Anything you feel would best represent the spirit, style, tone of the BrinkZone web site. It can be funny, serious, ironic, I don’t care.

If I don’t feel anything submitted fits the bill by Oct 5th, I’ll use my own ideas…

Interesting factoid: that’s exactly how this site was come to be called The BrinkZone. I did a contest for the best name for a web site, and BrinkZone was my favorite. Can’t recall what the prize was, but it was a fun contest. In fact, the responses came mostly by letter to my PO Box at the time, as few people had email and the contest was mentioned in my monthly column in MuscleMag International at the time. Talk about “back in the day” memory flashback!

OK, submit your ideas for a cool/funny/crazy motto (and or artwork) you think would be fitting for the BrinkZone T Shirts.

If not, would you be interested in a shirt once available? What’s your favorite color/design of those below?

Let me know!
