Interview With Jason Haynes Part 2

July 26, 2010 by

This is the second part of our interview with Jason Haynes. We were covering a lot of interesting points about changing your body and perception so we just keep the original interview going. The interview ended up being far too long to fit into one podcast so here is the second half.

Nothing to be said, Jason's body is phenomenal.

I figured I’d put another pic of Jason up for you to see his phenomenal progress. If you need a comparison just go back to https://www.adonisindex.com/interview-with-jason-haynes-overall-winner/.

Going through a transformation like Jason’s is rare. Many people will wish and dream it can happen to them but few people will actually take action and go for it.

Not all transformations will be as dramatic as Jason’s but the effect it will have on your mind/body/spirit will be just as potent. Anyone who has taken action and gone through a transformation contest (ours or someone else’s) or simply set a goal and went after it knows exactly what I’m talking about.

Going through transformation like this is always a body and mind experience, the world will never look quite the same, you’ll never feel quite the same, and people will see you different afterwards…and it’s all good!

It’s literally a new life.

Tacfit Commando – A New Perspective

July 19, 2010 by

We’ve been getting some questions about the tacfit commando program. People are asking what is it, what’s it for etc.

In a nutshell it is: A freakin’ tough bodyweight training system.

Tacfit Commando (This video on our YouTube Channel)

==> Click Here to give TACFIT Commando a look over

One of the guys that helped put the system together is a buddy of mine, Adam Steer. He specializes in bodyweight training programs and this is their newest system.

Adam was actually at ‘the bunker’ training with me a couple weeks ago, he was in town so we hooked up for a workout, and he actually came up with a new variation of the ‘Adonis Cross” and I’m mildly embarrassed to say that his version is significantly harder than mine!

I think I’ll have to add that to Adonis 3.0!

Anyway, back to his new system…

It’s an extremely intense bodyweight system that uses principles and techniques that commando’s, special ops, tactical teams, and federal agents are trained on to prepare them for field work.

This is a departure from traditional weight training but a great way to do strength endurance conditioning and move your body and activate your muscles in patterns that you might not have ever tried before.

I’d suggest using it as a whole body strength/conditioning option that can be both added to our program as a 5th day of conditioning (one of our guys recommended this, thanks Pete)

You can also cycle to this program for a 4 week departure from the Adonis Index System to get moving in new patterns, allow for exercise specific rest and recovery and push yourself for a different kind of conditioning and strength.

What you’ll need:

1) A bit of Space but not much

2) No weights

3) Intensity

4) Effort

5) Desire

If it sounds like something you’d like to learn about and incorporate into your workouts I suggest you check it out, we can show you how to put it in.

Ketogenic Diets For Fat Loss

July 12, 2010 by

Ketogenic diets were studied in the 1920’s as a treatment for epilepsy. Somehow the concept resurfaced in the 90’s as a supposed way to lose weight.

The most popular incarnation of this diet philosophy was the Atkins diet.

The theory is intriguing an goes against what most people were being told at the time. Basically you get to eat all the fat and protein you want as long as you stay away from carbohydrates.

The initial thought of steak, cheese, bacon, eggs, chicken, and more steak sounded tasty. But after even a few days on this style of diet most people want to eat some carbohydrate based food very badly.

In short, this diet is unsustainable and not a long term weight loss solution.

In this audio lesson we’ll go over the basics of what a ketogenic diet is and what it can and can’t be used for.

David Shade Interview

July 10, 2010 by

Yesterday, I did an interview that was extremely eye opening.

(It’s not work safe, so either put on some headphones or turn the volume down.)

I’ve been getting emails from you guys about this “rogue” sex expert by the name of David Shade, so naturally, I tracked him down and got him to spill some of his philosophies on both women and life. Now, David and I have never met personally, however I do know one of the guys in his camp quite well and we talk on the regular, so if you’re wondering if what you’re about to listen to is scammy or not, based on my friend Craig, I can vouch for the authenticity of what you’re about to hear.

But be warned, some of it is intense and may not be very comfortable to ponder.

Give this a listen, it’s quite eye opening… and if this sounds like something you may need to get handled, you can’t go wrong with his “Wild Screaming…” course (which includes “Cure Nice Guy”)

Here’s the interview:

You Gotta Go With the Flow

July 5, 2010 by

There are multiple levels of knowledge when it comes to any area of study. The major divide being the difference between understanding a theory and applied knowledge.

In the first case you could be well read and studied in a given field but without experience. In this case you may not have the full confidence in what you know to be true.

In the second case (applied knowledge) you both understand the theory and have applied it in a real life setting…this is the formula for building life long confidence and true wisdom.

In todays audio lesson we’ll be talking to the winner of the second Adonis Transformation contest Build category winner Deiderik Masure (aka DD).

DD will be sharing his experiences of the 12 week transformation and how he managed to win his category and what it takes to make a real change in your body.

DD relates how your diet and exercise routines are two separate things and will have their own ups and downs. Having a lousy day on one of them doesn’t mean it must also ruin the other.

One of the major lessons DD learned was that sometimes life is going to throw you a curve ball, but you just gotta go with it and the results will still come.
