20 Pages of Notes on Dr. McGuff’s Speech

20 Pages of Notes on Dr. McGuff’s Speech

by on 14. Mar, 2011 in Exercise, Nutrition

Tim Horine from http://www.menspsychology.com/ wrote 20 pages of notes on Dr. McGuff’s speech. They are below as was sent to me (which is raw and not edited for grammar/spelling). I’m assuming they are pretty awesome regardless. Cheers. Oh, and here is the speech if you haven’t seen it yet.

 

T21C Day 3 July 25th 2010: Doug McGuff

 

“Doug is one of the wisest men of our time, and so underappreciated and undervalued, its almost indescribable.” – Anthony Dream Johnson.

 

Doug did HIT 3 times/week during college, medschool, upper 30s

 

1) have the opportunity to hear it

2) to actually have listened to it

it would have been amazing how much Doug’s Life would have progressed.

 

Arthur Jones Nautilus HIT training camp, but it was 15-20 different movements, 3 days/week through college, medschool, residency, late 30s early 40s, and felt like hammered dogshit.

-If he knew the minimal amount necessary to trigger adaptive response and get enough rest.

All of his life would have been much more enjoyable in a recovered state.

 

Everything that…

The Doctor Is In

The Doctor Is In

by on 05. Mar, 2011 in Exercise, Nutrition, The 21 Convention

For those of you who have followed this blog long, or closely enough, you know all to well that I am a massive supporter of Doug and Body by Science — the #1 best seller of all time at The Dream Lounge global headquarters.

With that said, there are three points I want to make in regards to this speech.

1. This was one of, if not the proudest moment of my life.

While I did not think of it in these terms at the time, this was the emotion I was experiencing when Doug took the stage at The 21 Convention.

Pride, to the furthest extent possible — to the full degree.

Why is this?

Because I correctly recognized the “weight” Doug brought to my greatest achievement — the stage of The 21 Convention. In recognizing that tremendous weight — and for the first time in my life — I properly valued the strength of my achievement.

First time in my life because while there have…

HIT Workout Updates

HIT Workout Updates

by on 27. Feb, 2011 in Exercise

 

Every few months I film one of my workouts, post it online, and discuss the workout as it currently stands.

 

This is one of those posts.

 

To catch those not up to speed on my convictions concerning exercise …

 

  1. Exercise in the exact sense, is a form of physical activity.
  2. Physical activity, in the exact sense, is not exercise.

 

Sound reasonable?

 

It is, however, conventional wisdom dictates the opposite. The underlying, basic premise that is commonly accepted today is that “exercise” is anything – that no exact definition exists, that it is a matter of subjective opinion and not objective fact.

 

Notice the trend? You should, because we see the same phenomenon with

 

  • Food
  • Love
  • Rape
  • Sex
  • Health
  • Fitness
  • Diet

 

and so on.

 

Apparently black and white facts do no exist. “Anything is anything”. Or more precisely, everything is a giant, bland mush of gray nothing.

 

Horse shit.

 

Knowledge exists. Nature exists. Existence exists. And man has the capacity to understand these things through the faculty of his reasoning mind.

 

Exercise is NOT “anything”.

 

Exercise is not “anything that makes…

Four Hour Body Mini Review

Four Hour Body Mini Review

by on 10. Jan, 2011 in Exercise, Lifestyle Design, Nutrition, Reviews

This is titled a “mini review” since it is (A) not a full review, and (B) my thoughts on the book as the content applies to me and me only.

First things first, I have enjoyed the book very much. Tim is the ultimate geek for the human body, and this monster of a book proves it.

Second, I found the following chapters and ideas most useful. The rest I either didn’t care about, or simply disagreed with [disclaimer for those who haven't bought it yet: Tim knew many of his readers would be in the same boat before publishing the book, so far as I am aware].

  • Ice Age: Mastering Temperature to Manipulate Weight
  • Six-Minute Abs: Two Exercises That Actually Work
    • Note: I do not perform direct work for my abs, nor will I start doing any. I like this chapter because Drew is in it and I think Drew is awesome. I also have a monopoly on Drew Baye Youtube…

How to Supercharge 2011

How to Supercharge 2011

by on 29. Dec, 2010 in Miscellaneous

Step 1: Sign Up for T21C 2011

The 21 Convention is indisputably, the #1 men’s convention in the world. Every young man living with the will to improve his quality of life, and the integrity to follow through with new knowledge that runs contrary to popular opinion, should be in attendance.

Like 2010, 2011 is a dual location, multi-national event, being held back to back in London, England and Orlando, Florida.

Each event is a full four days in length. The speakers will be the greatest men I can find. The attendees will be men who recognize greatness, and have an inflexible demand for truth.

Tickets can be found here.

Prices are currently over 50% off with discount code “newyears” (for Orlando) and “newyears2″ (for London). Those “end” December 29th, but due to the late posting time of this blog, I will enable them to last through December 30th, 11:59PM EST.

Step 2: Sign Up for One on One Training With Me

Come January 5th, I am going to have…

This is the first clip ever shown publicly for The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando Florida. Why I chose this clip first is revealed in the video.

You should also check out Patrick Diver on local news in Orlando. The guy interviewing him is totally clueless on all subjects mentioned. Patrick handles himself very well IMO.

16 Pounds of Muscle in 16 Months

by on 11. Sep, 2010 in Exercise, Nutrition

From Florida to Sweden, doing the mind numbingly simple exercises you see above – about once a week (or less) – I built ~16 pounds of muscle in ~16 months time.

I did it with less dietary carbohydrate per week than most people eat in a single day, and more saturated fat per day, than some eat in an entire month.

In other words, I stimulated and allowed for the growth of ~16 pounds of new muscle, in direct opposition to the prevailing conventional wisdom.

99% of “personal trainers”, “body builders”, “nutritionists”, and “dieticians” would tell you what I have done is impossible, and quickly dismiss it as a lie, or superior genetics (labeling me an anomaly instead of the norm).

Indeed, quite the opposite is true.

  • What I have accomplished is very possible for the average joe.
  • I would sooner stab myself than lie.
  • I grew up a fat kid. While some parts of my…

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

Great Men of Our Time (Part 1)

by on 05. Aug, 2010 in Exercise, Independent Thinking, Meeting Cool People, Nutrition, The 21 Convention

It’s been said that there are three types of men in this world – men who wish to rule over others, men who seek to obey, and men who pursue freedom, independence, and their own visions and dreams with unmeasurable vigor.

The third type of man – the passionate men who shape the world we live in, the men who live their lives as they see fit (without intruding on the right of others to do the same), and accomplish great things in the face of all odds (often to our benefit) – is an increasingly rare breed.

Yet, not all hope is lost, as those men do indeed still exist. In fact, you are looking at three of them above as you read.

Pictured from left to right are Doug McGuff MD, Mark Sisson, and Bill DeSimone – men who’s work I was very familiar with and had a lot of respect for, before meeting them just this past July at The 21 Convention 2010 of Orlando…
