FitJerk’s Awesome FAQ (Part 1)




I think FAQ’s are awesome for two reasons. First, they allow people to get answers to questions that other humans (who think very alike) have already asked. And second, its a nice way to say “fakk youuu” to someone who asks the same question over and over. Now I don’t mind repeat questions, I completely detach myself from any type of emotion while banging out my emails… otherwise I’d lose my shit.

Still, it was time I compiled this list since I’m getting beaten by sheer numbers when it comes to email. So here we go, the most frequently asked questions I get…

1. “Are you really a Jerk?”

Only when a) I’m provoked or b) when necessary. People are lazy as fuck and are silently begging to be lead… which means there are times where I need to put my foot in their ass for their benefit. I’m not about pulling punches either and believe in transparency. It keeps me honest, and keeps others from being fake jackasses. Win-Win all around. Next question…

2. I need to lose (x) pounds in (x) days, can you help me?

Duh! Before I help you though, you need to decide how serious you are. Is your wedding coming up? Or are you just scared of hitting the beach for one random volleyball game? If it’s your wedding, and you need someone to be on your ass 24/7 then your best option is private consultation through E-Training. Yes, its a premium option and yes, you’ll have to pay… its my fucking job to deliver results though. So get a hold of me.

However, if you feel that you are fully self-motivated and just need to be schooled on the “info” then here are a few pieces you need to read:

The Carbs You Eat Could Suck The Life Outta You

10 Tips To Lose 10 Pounds Fast!

Also realize that doing this shit last minute is a BAD idea. If you have an important event coming up, then give yourself adequate time. A proper plan will help you drop anywhere from 5-10lbs a month, so do some basic grade 3 math and figure it out. You have the info, now its time to execute.

3. I need to gain (x) lbs of muscle in (x) days, can you help me?

Oh hell yes! My answer to this question is similar to 3, so read that. The only difference is that if you are self motivated then you need to read the following pieces for gaining mass:

How Taylor Lautner Got Ripped For New Moon

4 Fool Proof Steps To Unlimited Muscle Growth

5 Sneaky Nutrition Tricks To Maximize Muscle Growth

…and know that a proper plan will help you gain 4-5lbs of quality mass a month. So plan your time accordingly. Although I do take in clients who come to me for last-minute problems, these are usually my least-favourite clients to train simply because they exhaust me. The time is limited and I gotta be on their ass all the time. Now this doesn’t mean I hate the person, but the context sucks balls. Moving along…

4. Can I guest post on your site?

Maybe. If you want to guest post, don’t ask if you can. Because then I’ll obviously ask you to send me the goods. Save both of us some time (specially mine) by doing this – Attach your best (and most unique) work and ask me to check it out. Few links to previous works is also recommended. A few no-nos:

  • Massive, useless and boring list-posts.
  • General info that has already been said a 1000 times before.
  • Bullshit.
  • etc.

5. Can you guest post for me?

No. Yes. Maybe… I don’t know. Get in touch with me. And when you do, make sure you have a few topics in mind. I’m not saying I’ll write about those topics, but they will help the creative juices flowing and will help me come up with some awesome shit.

6. When are you going to review (X) supplement man? I only read your reviews since they are always so honest.

Appreciate that, and I really don’t know. First up, you need to understand the relationship between me and the big ass supplement companies. And here’s how it works: Most are scared shitless! I go more in-depth then they’d like and they specially hate it when I reveal their bogus ingredients. So some are simply just put off and don’t want to send me samples. In that case, I gota use my connections and buy a bunch of shit that I usually would NEVER buy just for reviews. So you’ll have to wait.

Now, not all supplement companies are big and bad… some are very legit and have great people behind them, and aren’t afraid to put their neck on the line. So the products from these guys will go up a lot sooner.

8. I want to get (bigger, smaller, ripped)… which supplement is best?

I hate this fucking question… so let’s answer it. Think about the word “supplement” for a minute. What does it mean to you? Well actually who gives a shit what it means to you, because here is what the word is supposed to mean:

To supplement an already effective fat-loss (or hypertrophy) program that you have set in place.

Before I recommend supplements, you need to learn how to get the desired effect through whole, natural foods and intelligent exercise. If you wanan lose weight, then learn how to lose a few pounds in the next 3-4 weeks through exercise and foods… if that WORKS then you can add “gasoline to the fire” so to speak and introduce supplements to your plan. To find out which supplements are worth your time, check out my huge review section HERE

9. How much does it cost to advertise on your site?

It depends… how many spaces you want and how long you want to advertise for. Also, since my traffic is increasing the price you pay today will be much lower than the price you pay 4 months from now. But I practice loyalty pricing, which means if you start advertising with me today and keep it going, then I will NEVER increase your rates. I’d rather work with loyal, long-term sponsors then fly-by-nighters. Still, short-term advertisers ARE welcome, so don’t feel discouraged. Damn, I sound like a contradiction… awesome.

For more info, check out my advertising page >> CLICK HERE

Also, when you contact me, please know EXACTLY what you want. I can give you recommendations but have a goal in mind. Nothing is worse than communicating with someone who doesn’t know what they want.

10. Is that picture of you real? -OR- Is your picture photoshopped?

First of all, thanks for the compliment. If you flatter me anymore, I think my ego might explode. To put this speculation to rest… let me give you a detailed answer. The image is obviously compiled in photoshop. I obviously don’t walk around with a purple aura around my body with my logo floating beside me (though that would be cool). But MY BODY ITSELF isn’t enhanced. No airbrushing or any of that BS. The reason I appear so ripped is because of 2 reasons…

1. Cuz I actually AM RIPPED! A week of cutting fat and hard ass training went into it.

2. I’m a lighting genius. Instead of generic lighting, the picture was taken with a single spot light in a semi-dark room, producing amazing shadows and making me look sexy as fuck. I’ll tell you one thing… no one else will be this honest about their pictures on the web.

11. What is your take on fasting?

I used to think it was fucking stupid, since it had a greater use if you needed to do an elimination diet or a serious detox for medical reasons. However, I must say that research has revealed some favorable conclusions to a PSMF (Protein Sparing Modified Fast). Real world results have proven effective as well. However, do you need to do it? Hellz no, son! Fasting is absolutely NOT necessary when it comes to achieving fat loss. I personally love food too much and have never really bothered with a serious fasting protocol. There’s more than one way to skin a cat and fasting is one way. Is it better than the other tried and true methods? No, because it still relies on caloric restriction and proper macro ratios.

And don’t even get me started on those “scientific” reasons for fasting such as HGH spikes. First of all, your HGH spikes for so many reasons that it’s absurd. I could probably take a hard dump and get an HGH spike (this fact hasn’t been peer-reviewed). The small “blip”  of HGH spike you get from starving yourself is insignificant. It would be like trying to sweeten the ocean by adding a cup of honey to it. If you really want a significant HGH spike, eat some dead animals, put some heavy weight on your back and squat it… or pull it off the floor. Besides injecting needles in your ass, it’s the best way I know how.

So the bottom line? Shut up and eat… enjoy your food (minus the ones who are morbidly obese, you need to stop. The foods you are “enjoying” aren’t helping your cause).

12. What is the best exercise to get [desired result] for [X body part]?

None, there is no such thing! While there ARE some exercises that work better than others to produce spectacular results, you need to realize that everything, EVERYTHING (done with enough intensity) works at least once. More details on this topic HERE.

The best thing to do is to make a list of top-tier exercises (3-5) and cycle between them every 3-4 weeks. Keeping your biceps guessing between hammer curls, chinups, barbell curls and dumbbell concentration curls will produce much better gains than doing barbell curls for 2 months straight.

13. Do I have to hit up a gym or can I see results by doing workouts at home?

While I highly recommend a gym membership, getting one isn’t necessary. Reason is that most people lack the focus to do an intense, un-interrupted workout at home. I myself take a hybrid approach… I have a gym membership which I use most of the time but I also have a nice home setup. Now I know what you’re thinking… “I don’t have that much money to set up a home gym!”

Well who the fuck said I spent thousands of dollars? My home set up only cost me a few hundred bucks at start. How is this possible? Well you might want to check this out: Replace An Entire Gym For Under $150!

(By the way… my current setup is worth close to a $500. But it started exactly with what you see in that article above. As time passes and you come across more cash, there is no reason you can’t throw in little upgrades. But to get started, you’ll have everything you need in that article above… so get to it!)

14. I loved your book, are you going to be releasing any other products in the future?

Most definitely, a new one is in the works… and that’s about all I can say at this point. If you’re a current Flawless Fitness book customer, know that the book is also getting a MAJOR re-write. This updated book will cost more… but you sexy mofos won’t have to pay a cent for the update. How do you like them apples?

Speaking of apples, I’m hungry… that’s enough faaqqing. Look out for part 2 the next time I get bombarded with similar shit. Stay fresh.
