The BrinkZone T-Shirt Contest II!


Tweet

Announcing The BrinkZone Monthly T-Shirt Contest! :mrgreen:


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!

Functional Range Day II!


Tweet

My buddy Jim V and I – who is a Sgt on a regional SWAT team in my area, and was on the ABC show Expedition Impossible – did what I refer to as a “functional range day” where I combine functional exercises with some basic range work. It’s similar to my P.A.S.T Program conceptually.

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 :-o

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.

Is Body Building Healthy?


Tweet

Is body building healthy? It’s a question that’s been asked over the years, and I decided to answer the question (hopefully!) once and for all. The answer it, it depends….

The Daily Show Does Planet Fitness!


Tweet

As many of you know, I’m not a fan of Planet Fitness’s general policies, their insulting commercials, etc. If not familiar with all that, my prior blog, with a few of their commercials and such can be found here: Will comments on Planet Fitness and A Visit To Planet Fitness. People accused me of exaggerating the issue and such, but I knew differently. I thought maybe my cartoon vid on Planet Fitness (see linked blogs) might be a tad exaggerated, and it’s clear it was not! :)

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:

The Plight of Muscled Americans


I rest my case!!!!

The BrinkZone T-Shirt Contest!


Tweet

12/18/2011 update: T-Shirts and other apparel now available! Go to: BrinkZone Apparel Page


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!

My article specific to caffeine ( coffee and caffeine do not have the same effects BTW…) actually generated a number of comments and questions on coffee, so I did this vid.

For you coffee lovers, this vid is for you! :)

Are Black Women Ugly?


Tweet

Researcher Satoshi Kanazawa Says Black Women Less Physically Attractive Than Other Women in recent Psychology Today article. I know what you are thinking folks “WTF?!”

Enough people complained that the article was removed, but it can be found other places if one looks. Is that true? Is he correct? I explore the topic in this vid and explain where research like this goes bad…

The Most Under Valued Component Of Your Health And Well Being?


Tweet

Yes, I like to make some silly vids once in a while in addition to my more serious vids/topics. Life is too short to be serious all the time in my view…however, the topic of the vid is important. Relaxation, stress reduction is an essential component to our health and well being, and our over all success.

Meet Hans! AKA, What I Did This Weekend!


Tweet

So people don’t think all I do 24/7 is read studies, here’s what I did this weekend, something I have been putting off for a long time, replanting my HUGE aloe plant. This is the smaller of the two I have, which I call Hans and Franz. They started as one small aloe plant many years ago. Transplanting at this point is no small task. Takes two people to move them. They have to be cut out of their pot using a grinder tool and blade!

It was so big, I had to split it into two plants, and still had a bunch left over! Went from this:
