Paleo FX Trailer + DVD Release

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Nutrition, Reviews

 

  • What is Paleo FX?

Officially …

The PaleoFX Ancestral Momentum – Theory to Practice Symposium fosters collaboration among fitness professionals, healthcare professionals, nutritionists, research scientists and laypersons who approach their respective practices from an evolutionary perspective in order to successfully address modern health challenges through the application of ancestral based theory in practice.

  • Video Production

If you’ve ever wondered what “21 Convention style” video production would look like on a paleo event, this is it.

The owners chose to use the same team as I have used with The 21 Convention over the years, and the result was A+ video production for a two day “triple conference”.

  • Why You Need the DVDs

Bottom line: tons of ultra high quality content at a great price.

The conference was on a Thursday/Friday, however Paleo FX was not a single event — it was three, and sometimes four all at once.

The quantity of video they have as a result of this is truly staggering: approximately the same amount of video content produced in total from…

HIT Workout Updates

By Anthony Dream Johnson 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

By Anthony Dream Johnson 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

By Anthony Dream Johnson 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…

primal blueprint review

 

I’d like to kick start this review of The Primal Blueprint by saying that there was a feeling of relief upon completing it. The practical information and understanding Mark Sisson has compiled into this book is a true first in the field of paleo diet nutrition, and perhaps “lifestyle” as well.

As it stands, this is my number one pick for understanding proper nutrition- a spot on my roster that has previously been left empty- to my dismay

Hence if you’ve checked out the resources section lately you’ll find a handful of books, that together, painted a decent picture of my views on nutrition and exercise. Individually, they all fell short in the field of nutrition.

Even the popular Paleo Diet by Loren Cordain fell short in a few (critical) areas- namely saturated fat and…
