Over the past few weeks you've probably heard A LOT about my good friend and fat loss "guru" Joel Marion's brand new 25-day RAPID fat loss program, The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet.
Well, I've got some great news for you -- as of today, May 4th, the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet exclusive $30 OFF behind-closed-doors pre-sale is now OPEN, and YOU are invited via this special link:
Xtreme Fat Loss Diet And Exercise Solution <------- Your exclusive $30 off invitation
Several IMPORTANT things I need you to be aware of:
1. As mentioned, to celebrate the "Official Release" of the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet, Joel is running a $30 OFF pre-sale on the entire system until midnight on Thursday.
2. This special pre-sale is NOT available to the general public, but rather is located on a special "hidden" page of the website.
3. This program is absolutely NOT for everyone:
While Joel's new system *is* all about how to lose fat FAST(up to 25 pounds in 25 days fast), it is NOT a "quick fix", magic-bullet solution.
Instead, it's a highly strategic system that incorporates some rather advanced strategies like cheat days, fast days, depletion days, and strategically timed exercise in the most ideal combination to yield the fastest possible result.
And believe it or not, he's even included one little-known, but extremely effective method on Day 5 of the program that will actually help you GAIN a couple pounds of firm, lean calorie-burning muscle as you rapidly lose fat. Pretty nuts.
Still, the truth remains: this is a somewhat "intense" system and as such will require your full dedication and effort over a short 25 day period--if you're someone who's not able to go 100% for 3 and a half weeks, this program isn't going to be a great fit for you.
BUT, if you're someone who's willing to put in the work and follow the program to a letter for 25 short days, you can expect to see some pretty remarkable progress in a very short period of time.
Faster Fat Loss <----- Your pre-sale link
4. VERY IMPORTANT (TODAY ONLY) - While the $30 OFF debut sale will be available through Thursday, there is a super cool $397 Value FAST ACTION BONUS for Day 1 orders ONLY.
The Bonus - If you order today (and today only), you will be given access to a LIVE 120-minute Fat Loss All-Star Coaching session where Joel Marion, John Romaniello (Final Phase Fat Loss), and Dr. Kareem Samhouri (Double Edged Fat Loss) will ALL be on the line to answer your personal fat loss questions. This type of direct coaching from 3 industry experts all at once is not available anywhere else at any price, but if you pick up the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet TODAY, you'll gain access to the LIVE call for *FREE*.
Faster Fat Loss <------- $30 off & your $397 value Fast Action Bonus (today only)
Bottom line, I wouldn't be recommending this program to you if I didn't believe in it 110% -- if you're up for the 25 day challenge, this is probably the "smartest" fat loss program I've ever come across. And right now, you can get it before *anyone* else while saving a full $30
Joe
P.S. I almost forgot to mention, you get to eat WHATEVER you want every 5th day (no joke):

In The Interest Of Muscle Building And Strength Training
Where most people go wrong is that they think they need to annihilate the muscle in order to elicit any type of response. This is counterproductive. When you annihilate the muscle with tons of sets, reps and constantly train to failure and beyond you drastically increase your recovery time. The problem with that is that training
frequency is very important. So when you increase your recovery time you have to decrease your training frequency. You're shooting yourself in the foot.
The key is to do just enough to stimulate size and strength gains but not annihilate yourself so that it takes forever to recover, or worse- that you put yourself in a state of overtraining.
If you want to make consistent size gains you have to make consistent strength gains (in a hypertrophy rep range), while eating enough food and allowing enough time for recovery.
The body will respond to any given stimulus one time and one time only. If you place the same demands on it a second time (like pressing the same weight for the same reps) nothing will happen. You must always be forcing it to adapt and thus you must always ask it do something it isn't used to.
The easiest way to do this is add more weight or do more reps with the same weight (but no more than 10-12 for the upper body and 15-20 for the lower body).
.
Aside from making consistent strength gains the next most important thing to consider is training frequency. To improve anything in life you need to do it frequently. Building muscle is no different.
So you want to train a muscle as frequently as possible, while it is in a fresh and recovered state. This means that you should be training each body part once every 2-5 days, and not once a week like a lot of the muscle mags recommend. That's too little frequency. The more times you can stimulate growth throughout the year the better. Obviously 104 growth stimulating workouts per year for each body part would be a lot better than 52.
To sum it up, you need to adhere to the following checklist if you want build muscle at the fastest rate possible:
- Constantly get stronger.
- Stimulate but don't annihilate (12-16 sets per workout.
(Don't go to failure)
- Train each muscle group more frequently than once per week.

Okay Chris take it away
Earlier this weekend, the six of us - my 4 kids, my wife (who’s due with #5 very soon) and myself - went up north to the Muskoka region of Ontario and stayed at a beautiful hotel with the rest of our extended family for the long weekend.
It was literally breathtaking up there and it was nice to get away from the city, disconnect, enjoy the fresh air - the air really was different - and admire the colors of the changing leaves. With baby #5 due within a couple of weeks, this was our last hurrah as “The Lopez Family 6″ and our last extended weekend of normalcy before we make the adjustment to being a family of 7 (!!!!).
We just wrapped up Thanksgiving here in Canada…and I mean that literally because I just finished wrapping the last piece of leftover turkey with some aluminum foil. In addition to the turkey, I had the luxury of finding space in our fridge for the candied yams, stuffing, lots of steamed asparagus (nobody seems to eat them except me) and some leftover pumpkin pie (note to self: go to the grocery store to pick-up more whip cream to finish that sucker off).
Just like “American” Thanksgiving - that’s what us Canadians call it - there’s always an overabundance of food and dessert available to us. Sometimes, it’s a matter of us recognizing when we’ve had enough, whether we’re full or not, and to call it quits. Whether you call it will power or just knowing “thyself”, this is a key component to getting those 6-pack-abs that we’re all after.
One of the biggest mistakes is doing too much of NOTHING in the gym.
Do we need to jog on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes?
Do we need to do front raises, lateral raises and reverse flies to “hit” every head of our shoulder muscles?
Do we need to spend an hour training one body part?
No. We need to focus on using our time doing things of HIGH IMPACT that will get us the most results in the least amount of time. We need to be doing the exercises that will give us the most bang for our buck.
When it comes to ab training, crunches and sit-ups need to take a back seat. There is no place for these exercises in our busy lives.
That’s why we train with kettlebells.
Because working with KBs allows us to cut through the fluff of the “regular” gym-culture training. We’ve chosen to by-pass the weekend certified trainers. To choose to eat real food instead of the potions that they serve at the juice bar. And to stop doing bicep curls in the squat rack.
Here’s a video that I filmed with Craig Ballantyne a few weeks ago showing you the best Bang-For-Your-Buck kettlebell ab exercises…

Building Muscle How To Ignite New Muscle Gains

Just recently I was hanging out with my good friend and fitness model (from Canada) Vince Del Monte. I met Vince a few years ago and we’ve remained very good friends and when it comes tobuilding muscle Vince is one of the most respected trainers around today..
I don’t know if you if you’ve ever met him, seen his videos or his pictures but he’s pretty much the “go to guy” for muscle building advice in our circle of friends and online fitness community.
You may know Vince as the guy who was once called “Wimpy Skinny Vinny” and gained 41-lbs of muscle in 6-months then went on to become a National Fitness Model Champion and author.
What you may not know is that Vince couldn’t crack 190-lbs and hit a crazy rut after – probably very similar to your own rut. 190-lbs became his “limit” and according to the experts – a plateau he should have accepted as “normal” and not questioned.
But over the last 2-years, Vince has made a DISCOVERY!
That discovery helped him gain an ADDITIONAL 20-lbs of lean muscle the past 2-years. He contributes busting through his plateau to his discovery of the “The 12 Anabolic Targets” (which works for beginners, intermediate and advanced lifters alike).
The BEST NEWS: he wants to hook you up with all twelve of them absolutely free in his brand new 36-page report: The 12 Untapped Targets To Ignite New Muscle Gains.

Fat Loss Your Most Powerful Fat Burning Tool

What Is Your Most Powerful Weapon For Fat Loss?
Good Morning,
I have a post for you this morning from Eric Wong. Eric is an MMA conditioning coach. For anyone who has trouble setting and reaching your goals I think there is a great lesson that can be learned from this post.
Enjoy.
Joe and I were working together preparing for his first MMA fight which is coming next month…
He’s been training hard and he started training with me because he wanted to be 100% confident that he was in top shape going into this tournament… By doing so, he feels that whatever the outcome, he’ll be his best come fight night…
Atta boy Joe!!
So we started the session off doing strength training and finished with some intervals on the Airdyne… if you don’t know what an Airdyne is, it looks like this:
It’s an awesome tool for interval training because the harder you push, the more resistance is created since it’s driven by a fan…. plus it’s virtually indestructible…
I’m lucky to have scored mine for $60 used (I love finding deals)… Unfortunately mine didn’t come with the girl…
Anyway, this is NOT the most powerful weapon for MMA…
The most powerful weapon was revealed to me as Joe was in the middle of the 5th 60 second hard interval…
The interval started off like every other one, nice and strong, lots of power.
But about 20 seconds in, Joe cried, "My legs feel like Jello!"
Right after he finished saying the ‘o’ in Jello, his speed dropped dramatically and it looked like all of the gas was sucked right out of his body with a shopvac.
The rest of the interval was a bit of a drag, despite my coaching and cheesy motivational lines "Come on man, it’s all you!!" (just kidding, I don’t use ‘it’s all you’)
Once the hard interval was done, I asked Joe if he realized that right when he said "My legs feel like Jello" his speed completely dropped.
He noticed it too and for the next and final hard interval, I coached him to get ready to give 100% for the entire minute and stay positive, only thinking about the next pedal stroke.
I told him to imagine that it was the last minute of the fight and push as if the title was yours if you just gave 100%.
Guess what?
Joe killed the last interval.
Absolutely KILLED it!
It was his fastest one of the entire session!
After he finished up, we sat around and talked about it, and it’s like a new skill was revealed to him (and me)…
Now, he knows what he’s got to do to make sure he’s at the top of his game when it comes time to fight.
Here’s the truth about what it takes to be a champ in MMA:
You don’t win the fight during the fight, you win the fight in all of the little battles you have with yourself, day in, day out.
If you can harness the power of your mind to be at your best everyday, you’ll go far.
It’s making it to all of your training sessions instead of tapping out to some lame excuse…
It’s pushing yourself through grueling workouts even though you want to quit…
It’s eating properly and fighting the urge to pig out on junk…
It’s getting to bed on time instead of dicking around on the internet so you’re fully recovered for the next day of training…
And everything else that goes into being a champion.
So I’m wondering, how are your day-to-day battles going?
Are you winning, or are you losing?
Every choice you make is either getting you 1 step closer to your goals, or 1 step farther.
So start making the choices that will get you closer to your goals today!
I hope this post gave you some insight to helping you to making the correct choices and to achieve your own goals regardless of what they are. Thanks Eric for sharing this.

4 Fat Burning Diet And Workout Mistakes

4 Fat Burning Cardio And Diet Mistakes
To burn fat you must be in a calorie deficit simple right? This deficit is accomplished by reducing the number of calories you eat each day or increasing your energy expenditure through exercise. To burn fat fast a combination of both is best.
What’s important to keep in mind with your fat burning diets and workouts is that you must make certain adjustments to make sure you are actually burning fat and not lean muscle.
Mistake #1 - Losing Muscle And Fat
This is a common problem, rather than getting leaner, you can lose a combination of both muscle and fat. In order to stop this and just burn fat, increase your protein intake, Reduce your modified carbohyrate intake, Stick to fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts for carbs limit your cardio workouts and keep your weight training heavy.
Doing light weight, high rep workouts are the primary reason why you lose lean muscle.
Keep in mind that a good rate for fat loss is about one to two pounds a week. More than that and there is a good chance that you’re losing muscle.
* Fat Burning Fact *
In order to burn one pound of fat, you have to create a total caloric deficit of 3,500 calories. The normal approach is to aim for 500 calories a day so that you total the 3,500 calories over the course of one week.
Mistake #2 - Not Changing Your Workouts
I'm a big beleiver in variety in my workouts. The human body has a great defense mechanism against change. Stick with the same workouts(exercises, sets and reps, tempo, weight etc.) and your body will quickly adapt and you will stop burning fat and adding lean muscle.
By changing your workouts, doesn't happen. Change your exercises. Always strive to lift more weight. Use complexes doing one exercise right after the other as an example: Do a set of Bench Presses then go straight into a set of Bent over Rows. Rest and repeat. Use timed sets. Set a timer for say 15 minutes, using the example I just gave you see how many reps you can do in the 15 minutes next workout try to top it.
Mistake #3 - Not Using Weight Training
When it comes to fat burning all too often the advice is marathon treadmill workouts or overdone aerobics classes. With this approach you are really cutting your fat loss efforts short.
Weight training Increases Your Metabolism
Weight training has been proven to give a long lasting boost to your metabolism long after your workout is over. Weight training will help you maintain your total amount of lean muscle, creating a permanent increase in metabolism.
Muscle burns calories at a higher rate. So by having more lean muscle your metabolism will be working at a higher rate even at rest.
Cardio training will only cause a short rise in your metabolic rate for an hour or two after your workout, taking away from the overall calorie-burning benefits compared with resistance training.
Mistake #4 Low Intensity Cardio Workouts
Use high intensity Interval training, a higher heart rate burns more calories. For example, you burn 100 calories in 20 minutes of low-intensity work compared to 160 calories in 10 minutes of high intensity, and you also burn more total fat in less time during a high-intensity workout.
Think Interval Training, using sprints as an example, sprint for one minute and then walk or jog for two are best for burning fat.
Combining high-intensity sprints (anaerobic) for 1 minute with walking or jogging for 2 minutes also boosts your metabolism long after the workout is done, so you're still burning fat and calories hours after your workout is over.
There are alot of subtle changes that can make a big difference in getting to your health and fitness goals. If you think about and are aware of what you are eating on a daily basis I would bet making some healthy substitutions you could easily lose 500 calories a day. When it comes to diet it is Never about skipping meals it is about making healthier choices.
With your workouts always use heavy weight (what is heavy to you), use compound exercises(squats, deadlifts, clean & press, dips, rows etc.) this is where you get the best results in lean muscle gains and fat burning. Always workout with intensity. Keep your workouts short. If you are using compound exercises you can work your whole body in 3-5 exercises.
