The Most Inherently Motivating Thing I Have Ever Seen

Just what I always wanted!  Today one of my clients brought in an anatomically correct replica of 5lbs of fat.  It was pretty much the grossest thing I've ever seen.  I set it by the keyboard so you can get a feel for how big it is, and then I took a picture with my phone.

I hope the picture gives you some sense of how gross it is.  I gotta tell you though, it's ten times more fun/gross to actually pick it up.

My client set it down in his kitchen, and then immediately threw away all the processed food in his house. 

I keep asking myself - what is so motivating about seeing 5lbs of gross fat on the table?  Well, the only thing I can think of more gross than 5lbs fat on the table is 5lbs of fat sitting inside me. 

It turns out that you can buy replica fat in all different sizes.  1lb, 5lbs, 1oz.  What ever you are in the mood for.

5lbs of Muscle vs. 5lbs of Fat

You've always heard that muscle weighs more than fat right?

Here is exactly what we mean:

Same scale weight, but the muscle takes up less space.

And the muscle jiggles less.

That's why you can lose fat, gain muscle, and have the same weight on the scale...

But be wearing two sizes smaller clothes and look 5x hotter.

My Mentors

  • The Landmark Forum
    Remove all of the mental blocks in your fitness. Find out why "trying really hard" and "wanting it really bad" hasn't gotten you to the level of fitness you want. If you feel "stuck", this is how you get to the next level.
  • Z-Health Performance Solutions
    Transform the way your body moves. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan move so powerfully and so gracefully because their mind has a better "map" of their body. Z Health clears up where your body's map has fuzzy spots, and in turn you are stronger, faster, more powerful, and more graceful.
  • Alwyn Cosgrove
    When trainers want to get better at training fat loss, they go to Alwyn Cosgrove. If you're a trainer you need to read everything Alwyn writes.
  • Pavel Tsatsouline
    Pavel is the Russian Kettlebell Head Instructor. This is the school for strength and fitness like no other.
  • Dan John
    Dan is a world class strength coach who simplifies strength and fitness in a powerful and unbelievable way. I had a breakthrough as a trainer when I heard him say "People think it takes hard work to produce high level athletes. It doesn't take hard work. Producing high level athletes takes play."
