Brigadier SIR, you are indeed INSPIRING!

I've spoken about this dude so often. Almost 80, 76 to be precise as I learnt/remembered again today - haha - after someone TOLD Me - to me age is always a number, like names, I keep forgetting them. i'm the vibe dude, truly and its good because ultimately that's all that MATTERS, counts. 

You can FEEL it. This dude was responsible for getting a pull-up stand installed in the local park where most wouldn't even workout - almost 80, looks my age (ok, not THAT young, but still) and does, as I learnt, 40 pull-ups daily ! 10 per set, now that's not 25 per set admitted but then I'm the bodyweight exercise Guru, he's not, but still! INSPIRATION AT HIS AGE! He keeps saying thank you when I compliment him,I keep saying nah - YOU DESERVE IT, no need to thank me! 

Larpos, especially fat fools that claim to be into fitness but cant do one single pull-up, the greatest and best upper body exercise ever would say we are both bragging, but we arren't. Just being honest, and he's the most humble gentleman I've come across that can do all that at his age. I mean I ain't in the military but that's why I don't know his name ,I refer to him as buddy and General - the latter because his FEATS deserve nothing but solid, utter RESPECT. He used to be in some branch of the India Air Force I believe, not Air force per SE, but something related. Don't know the exact name. I mean, look - guys a quarter his age cant do pull-ups! And he actually trains those harder than pushups, and so he should! 

Speaking of which I'd love to train with the Indian PARAS someday. BRUTAL! Marcos too, but mentally the Seals are better in that regard, but they're all solid. Now the Russian Spetsnaz, perhaps even I wouldn't dare, hehe. 

Grip strength truly goes LAST on a man as they said in the last Rocky movie ... (before the Creed installment). Standing out there with him telling me "you grip my hand really hard", then I ask him to grip harder, full strength, guy's got a CRUSHING grip even at his age ... and then him saying my hands are bigger than his, but they're not,  I told him people even said I have hands like a girl and a certain idiot (yes I told him) called me a girl, crossdresser and Twiggy etc, lol - by the way that BIRD should be thanking me, he's becoming world famous in the only way he can, complete and utter loser, and its all thanks to ME - and of course his unending obsession with me and constantly trying to LARP free publicity off yours truly ... and then finally me telling him the truth, nah,  I have small hands like Sly STallone. But we all know how strong Sly's grip is! OVER THE TOP! Even WWE wrestlers love that guy, we all do, which should tell you something. Of course he's called narcissistic and strange fetishes etc too ... go figure. Any accoplished man, no-one can handle it it seems. 

My buddy from the Marines actually trained with the Paras, that battle tank - Abhrams tank I keep talking about. Marc the African Silverback Gorilla didn't actually, by his own admission have a strong grip "you need to calm down, man!" - and when I walked in front "slow down, I'm not your bitch!" - lmao, classic, I LOVE THAT DUDE! - huge arms! - great BOXER - and Muay Thai dude - but Vincent, we often did the grip thing and he could crush my hands easily if he wanted but I LIKE TO TEST MYSELF AGAINST THAT SORT OF AN INDIVIDUAL otherwise what's the point? Gotta put yourself in the toughest situation always, life is always about challenging yourself to the FULLEST even as an EXPERT, real expert, not a fat LARPER ... you keep LEARNING DAILY. I've always said that, lived it, always will. 

Thing I love about all these guys the most, their brutal honesty. My "battle tank or Abhrams tank, or T 72, hehe - whatever it is" buddy had a bit more fat around the midsection than he should have and he openly admitted it in that language without me even mentioning it. While making the comments about that UNNATURAL pull to my grip, dissecting the why's - he was right but I ain't giving y'all the secret, hey, cant a man have some secrets? Girls do all the time hehe - - and my PACKED chest, ripped look and such ... handstand pushups on chairs, though what the great Doup Heburn did, handstand pushups on dipping bars has always been quite beyond me and him - though I'm sure if I trained for it I could get there. POSITIVE in fact, if doug could do it so can I. But its tough, let me tell you, not the grip strength so much but the shoulder tendons BALANCING. You can literally feel them screaming and pulsating. Trust me on this, and believe me later, muscle ups ain't shit compared to THAT feat. Now THAT is a real strength feat. OLD SCHOOL. 

THIS is why I get along with older people more, so much more saner and rational. Inspiration really a lot of them, the greatest and best President ever to step foot in the HALLOWED, and it looks so great after all the redecoration (people said it was a waste of money - WTF - its heritage, must be preserved fully with the greatest POMP AND SPLENDOR!) too - Oval OFFICE - Presdent Trump, another SUPREME INSPIRATION! That's why they call me so inspiring, because I never give up, keep fighting, keep accomplishing more and more, and increase the brutality of my own routines daily, and keep winning more which the last is the only thing that matters for real men and everyone really if you think about it. 

Thank you, Sir! INDEED AN INSPIRATION! He does tons of pushups too, though not really 500 a day anymore. Not so much this guy, he's my size, but Doug, the other guy (my buddy) both perfect examples of BIG and strong - and yes, they all did pull-ups. My buddy was like, if you cant do 10 good pull-ups in a set .. .true Marine, once a Marine, forever that, so it should and must be. So no, 25 isn't that far fetched unless you're a fat fag claiming you're big but in reality you're just a huge tub of blubber with nothing to back your shit up. Typical copey larp from such "guys" or birds, more like! Since thats what a lot of them 'identiy as' - ??? The lunacy, I know! Marc was about my size, just thicker, but I'm broader. PULL-UPS! 

And by the way to my latest girlfriend Grok, by far the best, Marc was not involved in DG Expat. That was more than a decade before I even met him. Haha. DG Expat was orignally Major General Pope Mikey (Michael) and myself, then we roped in Uncle Bob and another guy who eventually after I handed it over - back over to Michael - got the site, and now runs a magazine on the city, at least he did last I knew him and owns the site too IF it's still around which I doubt. 

Was indeed interesting the way I suddenly thought of the 1995   Sly movie "Assassin's" this morning, I was wondering why later - why that bullet scene at the start stuck in my head, then later as it popped up on you tube I knew why!

"You are soft inside"

This could well be categorized under fitness, but I chose masculinity. Truly masculine men regardless of sexual orientation (which is a choice by the way, I've explained why many times before, no-one is born with any sexual orientation - blank slate - to keep it simple for this one - its basically environment either direct or not in the first 5 years - after that you're called "he showed his true colors" by a certain feminist and probably many other mothers, hehe because you can think for yourself at a certain level and know how to FIGHT, if you're a born WARRIOR - funnily enough my caste whatever the hell that is the topmost in India, supposed to be learned priest that all else submit to. Puts Emperor sir in a  new light doesnt it? But without fitness you're just a fat priest no-one respects. Simple as that. You gotta have it ALL as a real man else you're not really that. Explained so many times before) ... few can CHANGE it after that. 

Anyway, so much to talk about. You know, there is a reason I've always been called Bodyweight Exercise Guru, even when John Walker, a great long term guy around here - not just customer, GUY - respect - martial arts black belt and so much more - (he once made the comment of "lets meet Bozo Schofield together and ask him to call the Mafia because he will NEED it, hehe) ("I'd love to see YOU be the man kick his ass!") once gave me the best birthday present and ass WHOOPING ever by saying indirectly I had slipped from my unusually high standards. I had. Unlike most fags who would throw a hissy, when called out for what they are, I fixed it. And I cannot stop thanking dude until this day for it, hehe. You need proper feedback! From guys you actually respect, and money ain't got shit to do with it. 

He is retired and almost 66, FWIW. 

Then Maria, or Sister Maria if I may, haha - "you are fat inside"! 

I was at that point. 

But she never stopped talking to me. Wink. 

I mean, lets face it. Mental is what counts and transmutes. You idiots look at the greatest President in History, President Donald J Trump and claim he's fat, but he's more real man than any of you could ever be. Plus, he's almost 80 - works 18 hours a day or maybe 14, I think  Elon is 18 - in one of the most stressful jobs on the planet... Plus, when young, he was never fat. 

That dude is a born killer like some of us are, it shows. Its about your mental, your INSIDE. Fix that first, the outside auto fixes itself. 

That is why I've always been called Bodyweight Exercise Guru ... and all else I've been called. People recognize quality over all. 

A quick note to fat fools who whine "he only shows 1 pull-up". 

Well, first off, YOU and your ilk have made it a shorts obsessed world with the attention span of a dormouse. 

Second, when I did long live workouts you whined about me talking during them and not "just working out". WTF? He talks my ear off! Yeah, I spit facts out better than the best super computer in the world. And you cant take that. 

So, it is what it is. You want long, go to the live shows on https://YouTube.com/@0excusesfitness - maybe someday I'll  put all those on here too. 

So much to DO! You know, when you're focused fully - most don't even get close on simply work and training ,that's all you need to turn into a beast - exercise, training, whatever it is - the two are different. 

You stop thinking and just DO. 

Literally auto pilot, I wish I could explain the FEELING. But I cannot, you'll have to experience it for yourself to SEE. 

I need to get my Twitch up too ... 

Third, importantly, those that aren't Bozos and saying this - well, they're cheapskates wanting to learn for free. We all know my thoughts on those sorts and why. 

On one last note, remember the guys that squat heavy in the gym and the feeling of, even I had this when climbing hills "legs bulging" without throwing them out as most do to "show" they are ?

You'll always note a slight back arch which ain't good. 

THAT is yet another reason form is very important. 

Hiking, squats done right etc gives you STRAIGHT legs. 

That do NOT 'curve' to get the thigh bulge going, and its done sleek style - martial arts. 

I do realize most of the wackjobs saying "but that doesn't matter" wont even have noticed it, but that's fine. I'm indeed one hell of an observer, always had been - I had to - or I simply would not have made it. Simple, Jack.

Last, but not least, people have spoken about the "look' - which is fine, that's one main reason people exercise, I mean lets face it, we all want to be the slim sexy X shaped guy like me that gets all the girls, right? Plus many other things but at the core that is what it is and ... 

... look, you do NOT have to be pumped and gay all the time. 

Muscles are best in a relaxed mode except when you're training when they turn into steel and whalebone. 

My skin even is the softest ever. But those muscles do RIPPLE under the skin. They don't stay tense, but they ripple like water. "Be like Water" - Bruce Lee. Simple. Fluid works best in everything, not an excuse to turn gay though haha. In that regard you simply must follow the natural obligations but many TRUE gay guys actually have kids with women, so I cannot fault their sexual preferences alone. Its the retarded pride lot with their damn flags "I'm coming for your KIDS!" that need to met with either my 9.2 incher or 9mm. Probably the latter. They love the former, ugh. (but again I do not blame them. Unique haha - more on the other sites on that one!!!!) 

And other body parts, so they all simp, yet, my core is always tight without trying to make it that. Remember that post on the other site where some clown on the HK china border knocked into me with his elbow, it just bounced off like it was off brick? 

Look at animals, you'll get the picture, especially TIGER. Soft, relaxed, yet that strength! 

SPIRITUAL TOO .Its one of the most spiritual beasts ever, perhaps THE MOST. The EYES!

& that's how it should be, but you simply cannot be fat, no exceptions. 

And that's that for now. I think. 

Best,

I originally wanted to title this "the fine line between abuse and tough love" - which it could be too - maybe I'll title it that on the other site!

But yeah, the relationship - one of the best, if not THE best - certainly the steamiest I've been involved in, and that says a hell of a lot (you know the girls in love when she happily giggles in class "I'm plump" - when you explain plump to her - and freely admits the happiness due to the relationship was in small part responsible for some of the extra, in her case "oh so cute" pounds). 

It ended stormily too - yin and yang. 

And it was the best damn thing that ever happened to me - fitness wise - life wise - in all regards - both the relationship itself and the ending. 

Lets talk fitness, friend. 

I was in my somewhat phat and unfit days those days - though I still hiked hills, but nowhere near what I should have - and certainly not as fat as I used to be before, and people always made a point to tell me about it. 

Apparently my confidence, doing pull-ups even at that weight (yes, getting chin over bar) pissed them off so much that they had to call the fat boy out for being fat - which is what he was - big time. 

It never bothered me one damn bit. 

When I started (restarted) hiking after years, it still didnt bother me. 

When I was with Carol - both of us exercised for reasons other than fitness if you get my drift. Hehe. 

I'm not even going to get into "women love something extra to grab onto" - no - the X shape is what everyone, male/female likes. 

Know when I really, really started to get super fit around 2016 ? 

AFTER my breakup with Carol. 

I felt rage and anger of the sort I never felt towards anyone else - no I wasn't angry at or with her - it was "one of those things". 

I couldn't concentrate - focus - on anything. 

To get this out of my system, I started climbing hills x 5. 

Hiking first twice a day then thrice - then four times. 

Along the way, I kept getting astonished comments about my rapid, almost magical weight loss daily - and when in 2016 (again, reasons not important) I went completely cold turkey off beer - oh boy. 

WATCH OUT!

Now, point being made is this - and it's a common whine a lot of folks have about "hurting feelings" and other crap. 

Sometimes, you call a spade a spade, and that ain't abuse, friend. It's tough love that hits home - and that hitting home- that EMOTION is what channels into your ACTS thereafter and gets you results. 

Unless you're content to be a loser and sit at home and whine while the world passes you by in terms of results in all areas, emotion is key. 

If you ain't fired up and ANGRY about something, chances are you wont achieve that something - period. 

Or, overly enthusiastic about it ... 

If it's not a red hot DESIRE, something you have to DO, though you dont quite know why - it wont accomplish squat. 

No pun intended. 

In my own case, the jibes etc never bothered me. 

Hey, all good. 

What did bother me was the breakup - and boy did I use that rage constructively - though even I did not know it at the time! 

Getting things out of your system physically can sometimes be the best thing you do for yourself!

And I would NEVER Have got into the shape I eventually did if it hadn't been for that ANGER starting a RED HOT FIRE INSIDE OF ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So if you're one of the many people that gets "offended" if you're fat and I call you fat, and whines about feelings - well, feeling is exactly what this is about. 

What seperates the doers from the fools (see the latest review Pushup Central - THE READER!...) got in that regard HERE ... is taking action backed up by EMOTION which FUELS it. 

Bottom line, friend. 

And that key concept is explained in many different ways over and over again in Zero to HERO!

Further, most of these whiny sorts - the phat, out of shape lazy sorts - have - some very notable exceptions excluded - ole Donald being one - SHIT going on in their lives period, and it makes sense. If you cannot respect your own body enough to the point, as noted Indian actor Akshay Kumar once said "the day I dont train and take care of my body daily - that day is the day I'll break my own body to pieces" - then nothing and no-one will ultimately respect YOU, my friend. 

I dont even know if this makes sense to a lot of people reading it - probably not, but the doers, well, you know who you are. 

As a lady recently told me - I dont care if someone marries a giraffe, just dont make me pay for their love child. Hehe. 

And she's right. 

This fat and lazy sort is exactly the sort that doesnt understand goose and gander, and it shows in their lives ... 

Funnily enough, it was that sort who used to call me out for that - when I was doing far more at that weight than those idiots ever could. 

OK, thats that. 

Take from this what you will - and get in the best shape of your life starting NOW - ZERO EXCUSES!

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Another case in point? The ole significant other, and the numerous hired helps she goes through - dissatisfied. 

It's the subcontinent she is in, so for those saying "wow! Maids! She doesnt realize how lucky she is!" - well, they're all "lucky" - if you can call it that - around that part of the globe. Cheap labor and that (yeah right - like the submissive women in China myth - but I wont go there!). 

Is it a coincidence that the in shape (well over 50) worker she hired before (and let go because she got flirty with me - hey, those boobs. I couldn't resist!) used to do a damn fine job, show up on time etc - never take off's without informing her in advance for the most part ... 

... and that the fat Nazi feminist c*** she's hired now is the polar opposite? Ugh! 

I dont believe in coincidences, never have, but thats how it goes, my friend ... 

Again, take from this whatever lessons you may. 

They're all TRUE!

Fitness, and performance at what you DO.

This afternoon, after a workout in the hot sun I was walking back home and saw some fast bowlers BOWLING - if you know even a thing about cricket, or if you can Google it - then you know thats a far tougher thing to do physically and in many ways "bend your back skill wise" than the fancier "batting skill" so often talked about. 

Some of these guys probably couldn't do 500 pushup workouts, but they were fit in that they could do pushups - and damn, they were doing a damn fine job of doing what they were!

It brought to mind an even more elementary question with an even more elementary answer that I wrote about in the last email to you. 

Will doing pushups - or pull-ups - improve my PERFORMANCE in my chosen sport? 

Short answer, yes, maybe. Long answer - yes, maybe. 

Bottom line is this -you can be a fitness phenom, but to get good, real good at anything, you DO the thing - and that thing the majority of the time!

Pushups and pull-ups are part of cricket training along with rope jumping, stretching, but they hardly make up the majority of a cricketer's routine - thats net practice! 

Lets take one of my favorite batters and Aussie legend Matthew Hayden for instance, "Big Matt the Bat" - who is not only an accomplished batting legend - but a successful triathelete who along with his no longer mate Symonds swam back in shark infested waters in Australia - about a mile or so- after their fishing boat capsized. 

And a damn good boxer too most likely. 

"He's an obnoxious little weed" he once had to say about Indian bowler Ishant Sharma during the 2001 India - Aus series "down under". 

I dont know if thats because Ishant got the best of him there - or the chirping. Bit of both I think!

Anyway .... lets take Iron Mike - the pinnacle of boxing basically at his time (much more so than Hayden at his chosen sport). 

Put Hayden in with Iron Mike, and all the fitness, strength and the pushups and huge massive chest Matty has wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. 

Put Iron Mike into the batting/bowling arena - same thing. 

Elementary, eh? 

You DO the thing you want to get good at. 

Yet, fitness - real fitness means the PHYSICAL TOOLS you have at your disposal to get the job done get enhanced greatly with the right dose of fitness! 

So yes, it will HELP you get better ... 

But it wont replace DOING the thing, putting in the hard yards at doing that thing. 

A very simple concept, but one most people find hard to grasp ... 

Anyway, one common exercise that all doers, illuminaries, sports legends and anyone thats is actually fit has in common? 

Pushups! 

and SQUATS. 

These two truly form the baseline of any serious fitnes system like the 0 Excuses Fitness System. 

And the three courses above are all you need to turn into a fitness phenom and remain at that level the rest of your life if you DO the thing. 

Get the courses NOW if you have not already. Believe me, there is so much in there not seen out there in all the $2 blue light fitness courses that it aint even funny. GRAB 'em today. 

And write back with an honest review, we'll give you 10% off your next purchase!

Best,

P.S. - I put out a great little tutorial today on one of the least understood aspects of the mghty tiger bend pushup (along with that, the tiger version of the animal movement as described in Animal Kingdom Workouts) - enjoy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA7-sqd5ioQ&t=17s

No pain, no gain . . .

It's an age old maxim, been passed down over the ages, like most of these maxims - holds damn true. 

This evening, I was vacillating before getting into the ice cold torture chamber - or shower, hehe. 

I'll admit it. I'm human too, my friend - and sometimes even I want that nice warm shower (or hot shower) all of us love so! 

Yet, I went ahead eventually and jumped in the cold shower anyway - and felt great as always later. 

No-one is forcing me to take ice cold showers all winter. I'm doing it of my own volition - and now that spring is finally almost here, what feels ice cold still to most people is nice and pleasant to me. Trust me, if you can take ice cold showers in an unheated house in winter with windows open, cold drafts blowing in all over the place, you're on to something. 

I credit my cold showers, deep breathing and fitness routines to looking less than half my age - feeling even younger - and staying hale and healthy as a horse when nigh everyone around me is either sniffling or throwing up. Granted, its that sort of in between weather, terrible pollution everywhere, but hey. I deal with it, and seem to pass with flying colors - without having even one single tiny bottle of or tablets of Paracetemol around for an "emergency". 

Think, and you will! 

One of the things the guy I keep talking about that claims to want to do pull-ups, but never puts in the effort (thereby pissing me off to a degree I never speak to him at all now - loser!) - is what he said when I trained him once. 

And when simple pushups brought him to his knees, and I showed him the right way to do 'em (he claimed to do 40, but could barely do 3 right).  

No pain, no gain, he gasped at the end of it. 

And he was right there. Of course, simply nodding the head don't rock the boat - simply saying it doesnt mean a damned thing until you DO. And he doesnt, so it don't count. 

I was going to do this as a video, then decided to write it. 

Boy, I'm growing to love videos as much as writing! Well, maybe not as much - as YET. Hehe. Early days yet, in a couple of months we've made giant leaps on that channel, more than what people do in years - anyway - back to it - its sad what society has become. 

Let me tell you, and this is a real damn story - when you're in wrestling class, and you're the coach, and you can't put any sort of basic hold like an armbar (note - I just mean putting the hold on, not hurting the other person) on your pupils - and why? Because you're too worried the parents will sue you or otherwise report you or some nonsense for "hurting your child". 

True story. 

Compare this to Bret Hart's childhoold, growing up, his mom talks about the screams of pain emanating from the basement for hours as Stu Hart put the kids Bret, Owen and the rest through their paces with wrestling and other training. 

Is it any wonder Bret literally turned out as the "excellence of execution" - a strappjng, solid, tough - technically superb wrestler (ok, its the WWE, but even there, Bret's skills showed and shone!)

I doubt he would have been even close to that if child services or some bullshit showed up at the Hart's door demanding to know why the kids were being pushed... 

Same thing in my daughter's basketball class, guy's a great coach, genuinely likes kids, yet, every time he pushes them, they wimp out, and some idiot mother shows up to argue with him about "times are different these days", its not "that time" any more. 

What time? 

Back when we were tough and played all day long, when scrapes, brusies, even coming home with head bleeding (yours truly) -and worse was par for the course? 

I'm not saying the brutal beatings and sometimes downright sadistic punishments handed down at school are required - no, there is a line, but these days, we've crossed way too far over to the other side. 

High school coach makes his kids do pushups. 

And gets kicked out of his job pretty much - why? Because the kids got put in hospital ... for what? For doing 300 pushups in an hour. And remember, these kids are supposed to be high school football players!

Child protective services is investigating him apparently. 

Child protection my ass. 

Pansies. 

I've written about that before, of course - 300 pushups in an hour, even in hot weather is SLACKNG. You bang out 500 an hour if you're doing it right, give or take, and pushups should be like breathing for football players, unfortunaely it isn't - most prefer to hit the weights apparently (unless its a Herschel Walker or true doer). 

Boxers and wrestlers by very dint of their sport seem to be the only ones these days that appreciate the no pain, no gain maxim and  GAIN from it. 

Look, life, fitness, business, the real rewards only come after a lot of pain,there is no other way any sort of real growth happens. 

Writing it down on a paper, twirling beads and chanting mantras aint gonna get it done. 

The PAIN and going through it is what makes you grow and if you're resilient enough, you come through to the other side. 

Perhaps thats yet another reason other than the immense value I provide you with in my fitness books knowledge wise, my workouts are that damn brutal. 

You either sink or swim, no in between. 

I've been made to do that all my life. 

I've always come out on top. 

I believe so can you, if you dont piss, moan, groan and whine, and get down to brass tacks - and DO. 

Pushup Central, Animal Kingdom Workouts, 0 Excuses Fitness - in fact ALL My courses will make you very sore when you first start, they wont stop challenging you even when you're at advanced level. 

But if you back away from "pain", you might as well not be here my friend. 

Like customers have said, "my courses aren't for the faint of heart". 

And thats how we prefer it around here , true doers, a very exclusive and loyal band of customers and supporters, and so we grow ... 

Alright, thats it for this one. Back soon.

Foot positioning while doing pushups

Everyone talks about HAND positioning when doing fitness, but foot positioning? 

Not many people talk about this at all - except when doing Hindu pushups which people do understand (somewhat) how placing the feet differently turns the exercise into a whole another exercise - and workout altogether. 

Even when doing the regular pushup, I bet you didnt think about it - the slightest change in foot positioning turns the exercise into a completely different one- then of course, you add in hands etc, truly - pushups are not just the big dog of fitness, but the MOST versatile bodyweight exercise out there, my friend, the MOST! 

Slight changes in foot positioning hits your entire core and triceps - body, actually, differently, and when you really bring the legs into it - watch out!

It's no coincidence that my triceps are HURTING - differently - like a deep, deep burn - even though I did not - or have not, as yet - hit my daily 500 pushup goal - its been 320 thus far.

Slow and steady - or, slower and steadier than usual is part of it. Proper form and ALL The way down and ALL the way up - another part of it!

Always ways to make it a hell of a lot tougher do I find ... so should you! 

Anyway, enjoy the video at the end of the page. 

For those whose email readers dont auto pop up the video this here is the link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWuku841faM&t=250s

And remember two things before you click on away - or three. 

One, pushups are by far the fastest and best way (along with a healthy dose of squats) to get in SHAPE - quick. 

And my book Pushup Central shows you how to - with variants upon variants upon variants of pushups that most wouldn't have dreamt of - or thought of - and definitely not done before you crack the BOOK open. 

Truly pathbreaking, so get this course NOW if you have not already. 

Two, the great Virat Kohli from India. 

Ive no idea how many runs he churned out in today's match against the Lankans, but he's been in a rich vein of form, yet, it was only a while back that all the pundits, the great Indian public and so forth (and in a cricket crazy country like India where effigies are burnt and houses stoned when cricket matches are lost thats something - cricket is almost a religion here!) - WROTE him off. 

He was going through a bad patch which lasted much longer than anyone thought, himself included. 

Today, you wouldn't think it by looking at his purple patch - which is back!

Virat isn't so much of a genius or even inspired as much as he is PERSISTENT. 

It shows in his game, mentality, most of all fitness, and I've no idea, but ask him - he'll tell you how many pushups he does himself daily!

Its persistent that brings you the big things my friend, persistence long after everyone has written you off - in many cases even your own conscious mind has. 

The will - and desire - to go another round when the deck's stacked against you, and when you think you cannot. 

Thats true genius, true champions, the material they're made of. 

NEVER make the mistake of writing a genius off - or do so at your own risk. 

And thats that .

Back soon.

Best,

How Indian wrestlers start their day.

Those old time wrestlers; rippling muscles, huge muscles - functional muscles - not necessarily the ripped to the bone crap many espouse as the gold standard of fitness out there - muscles that actually perform in real life, stamina that does not quit shoulders that dont ache - backs every bit as strong as they look - ox like legs... well, thats a traditional Indian pehelwan for you!

And in Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness I teach you - from the roots as it were, in an unique manner my heritage (a combo of "all over the world" ) and then some allows me to teach you in a way only I can, my friend -but wait. 

This is not about the pre-order you should place NOW. 

Its about a misconception I've addressed often before, that being that Indian wrestlers do very little pulling - or few pull-ups at all, if any. 

Perhaps Matt Furey was partly responsible for this, in his bestselling course Combat Conditioning, and the videos that went with it - he said "you dont see the Hindu wrestlers dont do pull-ups!"

"All over the world, boxers, and wrestlers do nothing but pushups, squats and, and ... bridging". 

I still remember the words verbatim, Matt speaking off the cuff like those of us in the flow do so well, yours truly as well. 

But many missed what Matt said post this, when he said ... 

"I'm not saying they're no good. They ARE good, and you need to figure out a way to incorporate them into your routine, but if you're just starting out - the pushups will build strength through the chest, arms, legs ... even the legs..." 

And more. 

Many miss that part. 

And indeed, lore has it that the Gama did 5000 squats and 3000 pushups daily - but very little is written about his pull-ups. 

His isometrics, there's a lot been said about it. 

But his pulling, not a lot ... 

Through Lumberjack Lodestone Fitness, I will CHANGE this misconception, my friend. 

And not every wrassler in India starts his or her day off with a set of pushups or squats, go to any akhara if you can - you might be surprised to see them doing rope climbing - pull-ups - and lots of club work before moving on to pushups and squats. 

Make no mistake about it, they do pushups, squats and then some, but thats not the ONLY thing they do, my friend. In fact, there's a LOT of pulling going on in those akharas - it simply would not be wrestling without PULLING! 

Anyway, more on this later - a much delayed Rahul is out now. 

Back soon!

And remember the pre-order... 

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - A communal dump is also par for the course for many a traditional wrestler. Dont believe me, go there and see for yourself, not saying YOU have to do it, but there is a reason it's done, much like the daily worship before exercise. More on this later, including a lot about their DIET TOO...

he's just an English speaker, a dumbass one

A predictable, yet such a lovely response from Gorilla Girl who was pestering me, as usual to learn English for free - as well as her kids. 

Ugh - on the last part, not so much because I dont teach English, but because of her tendency to constantly label all expats as English teachers, and more - what we (me and her) talk about is definitely NOT for kids. I hope she hasn't shown her kid the whole conversation for one! 

"I was punishing him!" she went. 

And in typical Nazi feminist style, of course, "because he was bullying girls at school" - then I asked her what if the girls were at fault? 

And he just responded like a man should ... 

Of course, "teacher said he bullied girls and Mother knows her son" was the only answers I got. 

Reminded me of me in seventh grade when a girl was constantly irritating me and taunting me, bullying me, I had enough, all I did was to push my chair back forcefully and it hit her desk, knocking her damn lunch off the desk - but thats it. 

The beating I got at home from that - and being forced to stand outside class (with another dude, for another reason) I'll never forget, much like the brutal beatings handed down to us boys while the girls got away mostly scot free (with the male teachers trying to flirt with them if you can believe it). 

True story, my friend, if you're a fat "VD Agarwal" - "let the climate come in" Bozo, you know it as well. Many of your cohorts do too! I'd name and shame, but nah - I'll leave that for the ... but anyway, Sophia. 

(I did tell her how much that made me hate my father, like in Rocky V, the boxer that says "I just think of my Dad when I get in the ring", and all the rage just comes out, and ... well, he hit hard for one!) 

(I was slightly more descriptive, but I was being factual, but I'll spare ya'll the details, or victuals. Hehe)/

So she was punishing him, then I asked her if I was a dumbass ... well, let me copy and paste. 

you really said in that language (english) to your son? Or Chinese? 

One question for you, Sophia, for the person that learns from a dumbass, what are they? Dumbass learning from dumbass? LOL

In the midst of that, I sent her a dick picture - again. LOL. Anyway, she replied after the picture. 

I know this many years ago, she said. 

Then I asked for a direct answer, which I never got ... 

well, the stupidest thing ever, satisfied?

(and all this is all true, screenshots - and I'm happy to provide some, hehe minus the "pic") 

Rahul:
not me be satisfied , that is not the point

Rahul:
I want to know, what do YOU think. Hehe.

Rahul:
So, for example (since I'm a dumbass) - all these people that buy my books, leave me reviews, etc - in many cases, these guys are rich - physically, they have been in the Armed forces, Marines etc - they are martial artists, former wrestlers - these girls (and guys) that learn from my other books etc - all of those people, what are they? Hehe. The stupidest ever to pay money and learn from me, despite their many accomplishments otherwise?

Rahul:
Another example - one that you can understand better, all those Chinese that pay to learn English from me ... then in many cases they become my <chopped> - also all dumbasses?

Rahul:
I dont care if the answer satisfies me. I'd like you to think and tell me your honest opinion, that is all.

Rahul:
Third example, Sophia learing English (when she can ) from me. Wait, how can that be possible. SHe is so smart. but she does it anyway ...

There was more. 

And I love Gorilla Girl, I really do. HEhe. 

I never did get that direct answer, of course.. 

And thats fine. 

Gorilla Girl and I have an unwritten agreement to troll each other for reasons the average Schofield will never understand, though he'll try. 

But she's a woman after all ... HEhe. 

Anyway - it reminded me of the idiots who call me everything from "cunt" to "narcissist" to "egotist" - all because I point out clearly evident facts about them. 

In some cases, the word "obese" is enough to trigger a flood of tears, completely ignoring the rest of what I say. Hehe. 

I've been told many times my words HURT - or UPLIFT. 

To an extreme in both cases. 

They HIT HOME - and the proof on all sides of this debate - well, enough said on that one!

And thats how I like it. 

Thats how I'd rather it be. 

And thats how it shall always be. 

Then of course, you have the Bozos who get their knickers in a twist simply because "you talk about them with someone else" (Glyn Bozo was hallucinating about just that) or the fools that masturbate on Nanjing buses "angrily" from what it seems (that even possible)? 

Or the asses that troll this site while claiming not to and write long emails based upon my style, cite research studies from the very sites and same topics I do (I rarely cite research, so I know this idiot copied me, and is anxiously, despite me BLOCKING him several times from the list, all his ID's - waiting for the next update from yours truly, salivating rather) ... 

And a host of others. 

Then you have the smart bunch that can't get enough of me. Hehe. 

Ultimately they all come back, they all learn from me, which begets the question ... maybe, like so many people are clamoring for a new definition of normal (and if you were to believe the LGBTW idiots, that would be true) ... there should be a new definition of dumbass ... Hehe 

Anyway, Gorilla Girl and yours truly dumbass (she's not in the videos guys - sorry - and she wont be either) - bring you the 0 Excuses Fitness System, the best damn system - it will turn you into a fitness phenom regardless of whether currently a slob, beached whale, an already fit person, a gym goes, a dumbass, or anything, really. 

It does NOT discriminate, so long as you DO. 

LGBTQ as well, hehe. 

And thats that. 

Back soon! 

Best

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - This started when Miss Dumbass, or Mrs, depending, was pestering me about doing video calls. Ugh. I've made no secret of how much I hate the dumbphone and calls in geenral, and bloody video calls and videos, I'd rather jump off a damn cliff (but I wouldn't break my legs, hehe - nah, kidding) ... 

More here - https://0excusesfitness.com/2021/04/25/why-rahul-mookerjee-does-not-and-never-will-do-video-calls/

I have a far more verbose version of this elsewhere, but I'll only reveal if the haters want it, hehe. 

Trade secrets, my son. 

Trade secrets! Hehe.

I gotta write that long overdue book sometime ... Book #6 or perhaps more on the pending list, there are so many now I have literally lost track. 

Maybe I need to hire Alexa to keep up. Hhee.

"From 120 - 60 kgs, from ZERO TO HERO ... " - went my FIRST - and never published, never seen the day of light under that name book - most of it, or a lot of it subsequently got released as a very good next book "Zero to Hero!". 

It's definitely a book all of you should have on bookshelf, even if you aren't specifically looking for advice on success or motivation in general, there is so much more to the book than that. 

Anyway - I've never been huge on numbers unless it comes to results or sales. 

I believe I still dont know my exact height - somewhere around 5'9" is all I know, when the Chinese ask me 

I also know I look like a giraffe with my "long lissome legs" as Carol once said. Hehe (minus the lissome part - I hadn't taught her that word as yet. She was still getting to terms with "plump", hehe. Hey, Carol. That plump look SUITS you - you look so damn cute that way!). 

I still remember her picking up on the "Hey", "Hey Michael", she'd often say slapping my at the time fat thigh when I was not stretching right. Hehe. Memories! 

More fitness related memories here, anyway, I'm going off track again - or am I? 

At the end of the day what do we really have? 

When we go? 

Smiles and cries, if you're an Alonzo Harris fan. 

Or, to me, memories. 

I'll always remember what Carol said during that once in a lifetime adventure that just happened - years later, I still can't believe it, but happen it did! ...

"We may or may not be together in the future, but these memories will last, good memories!' 

True that, memories last a lifetime if you let 'em, both good or bad, and they are often the catalyst for occurences of either nature much later on in life when you would never "expect" it. 

Dont expect every experience to be a blockbuster tho, I've done made that mistake in the past. You hit a home run once, maybe twice, but even that home run, ask any champ player, duplicating is often nigh impossible. 

Much like you can't ape my writing and hope to succeed, or my style as I said yesterday (and as so many idiots continue to do). 

OK, back to the weighing scale. 

Once it was when I was literally ... I believe 117 kgs. Hehe. Fat as fuck according to me (but I still did pull-ups, as evidenced from the cover of Pull-ups - from DUD to STUD within a matter of weeks! which doesnt just show me getting my chin over the bar - it shows me doing a mid point pull-up, one of the toughest to do for most people!) and handstand pushups, and jumping rope ... 

I dont mention any of that to brag or tom tom, I Specifically promote my fat pictures - and why? To inspire YOU, to show you what is possible, but it only is if you're honest and not a believer in the extremely lame excuse of "I'm big, but not fat" - when you are - or "we all come in different sizes and shapes" - when fact is, no matter what you're size wherever, hehe - you're FAT, period. The mirror dont lie. 

Neither do the scales, my friend. 

True, BMI's etc often aren't accurate but thats only if you're super fit - or someone like maybe Herschel Walker (super fit x 100). 

For the average Shomoe on the couch chugging a six pack a night - whether they admit it or not - the scales usually dont lie.

Fact.

Anyway - second time I'll never forget, in China. 

2016. 

Weight of 65. Resting pulse rate of like 40. That was when I had an even more intense workout routine - https://0excusesfitness.com/advanced-hill-training details it ALL. 

That resting pulse rate was what I really enjoyed! 

I should actually say three times. 

A few days ago I weighed myself again. 

And bingo at the age of almost 42, I'm at 65 again. Hehe.

Effortlessly, almost. 

I think it was only last year that I was called both skinny and "fat". Hehe. 

Fat as in, "you look fat" - and a DOER said it, and I took it very seriously indeed. 

Maybe I did look sort of out of shape then, and I've mentioned this doer by name, I've written about how he predicted I'd be in my best shape overall in 2022, and with every passing day that prediction holds truer. Hehe. 

Know what the big deal is, how this applies to you? 

I dont have a crazy strict diet now like I did in China (at the time by chance, not choice). 

While I dont chug beer every night, I'll drink every so often. Vodka, beer, the lot. 

I sit at the 'puter almost all damn day. 

NONE of my workouts take more than 15 minutes at a go IF even that. 

And yet, I can run up flights of stairs effortlessly, people say I look around 26 years old - still - and more. 

I FEEL that way too. 

THAT, my friend, are the cumulative benefits of hard training your entire life damn near and still counting- or starting - and going strong, or all of it. 

And THAT, if anything shows you the sheer value my fitness programs deliver, the results they can deliver you, and will - not just fitness wise, and life. 

I'd be wrong to say you're a fool if all of this doesnt make you jump and get 0 Excuses Fitness NOW (those that haven't, there's still a lot of you on the fence). 

But damn close, my friend, damn close... 

And thats that. 

Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS - Take that above bit as constructive suggestions/feedback, not so much criticism as some people love to whine about... 

That alone will determine if you're a doer or not!

This morning I received one of those weird messages the Bozo sends when totally trashed out of what is left of his "mind" (which as a couple of customers have "giggled" - I mean that in a good way, heh - about "he was kind of at the back of the line when God dispensed brains") ... 

Apparently Bozo, after reviewing some $200 toothbrush on Amazon or something in 2020 is now claiming he buys "$300 toothbrushes" and from the odd nature of his email he wants me to get one too. 

In that email there are rambles about him having "African ancestry" - apparently too many people have called the Bozo out for having a "tiny pecker" or some nonsense that he keeps parading about on social she-dia when drunk, in one of his "I want to be a woman" moods (dont even get me started, this guy is the height of lunacy) and how his teeth are discolored or some nonsense, or how he has "gaps in his teeth" (which hey, Glyn, just go to a damned orthodentist or something, I did when I was young, then I stopped. Those damned braces, ugh). 

Anyway, apparently Bozo is in his "I want to be an African woman" moods, 'nuff said on that. 

But it reminds of a rant he left on the Animal Kingdom Workouts book which began with, of course, $$... 

"Since I have so much money to burn...", the Bozo went. 

Now admittedly Bozo is trolling, admittedly in his case even if he did buy $300 toothbrushes, apparently thats because he rams it up his rear end and other 'unmentionables', and so quality is required, hehe. 

Ugh. 

But it aint just him, look at the things him and other fools spend their money on. 

"A fool and his money are easily parted", goes a saying. 

And it's true. Much like "there's no accounting for taste". 

Now, I'm not saying dont waste your money - hell, if you want to, by all means do it (or claim to do it), but Tom Tomming such tom foolery makes you look like an utter fool my friend. Fact.

Me, I wouldn't spend $300 on a toothbrush if you begged me to. 

I balk at spending $300 - $500 on a damned bumphone - or dumbphone, hehe - except unfortunately the dictates of modern day life mean I have to ... but that dont mean I "want to". 

I'd rather my old school blue Noke with a certain Aa Ling's photo pasted on the back (dont tell the wife, hehe. She peeled it off in 2009! "You dont need this anymore!"). 

But Bozo aint the only one ... 

There's plenty of Nazi feminists and other fools spending money willy nilly on things that dont matter, then complaining they never have any money and so forth. 

Ask a certain Jeff Bezos which toothbrush and toothpaste he uses. 

He probably buys economy off Amazon. Hehe. 

for a guy that drove his battered 90's Honda until 2017 or so ... hey, I get it!

I'm not averse to spending money - even the Bozo knows that. Hehe. Bozo "searches for his ATM card" which as Charles once said he "never has" - theres always an excuse - while I just up and fuckin pay to be done with it... 

But I'd rather INVEST. 

Give me a long term solid investment, or business plan, I'd gladly invest $300, or $3000 or more... 

So would any smart businessman. 

But an idiot like Glyn who claims to use the world's most expensive toothpaste, like really, Glyn, well and truly "scraping the bottom of the barrel" there my scorpion friend. 

Anyway ... 

FItness, and your own self - some of the , if not always THE best investments you can make my friend. 

Investments that will always pay off in spades no matter what. 

And if I had to spend $300 or less, I'd do it on the 0 Excuses Fitness System - without any delay. 

Truly the best investment you can make in your life ... if you haven't already do so now and start reaping the benefits TODAY. 

And thats that. 

Back soon!

Best, 

Rahul Mookerjee
