Your brain and I are very similar. I mean really, we are so damn alike that it might scare you. The reason being is that your brain has an inner voice, and it&#8217;s so un-apologetically blunt that it gives me a run for my money. If you have any shred of doubt, then let me prove this concept to you.</p><p>Ask yourself (or,  your inner voice which we all have) a question, any question&#8230; Then notice how you start to come up with answers. If the question is pathetic and negative such as &#8220;Why am I such a loser?&#8221; then your inner-self will come up with a few very good reasons, all of which are probably true (I can give you more than a few by the way).</p><p>But here&#8217;s where things get really funky&#8230; Like 70&#8242;s style. Ask yourself this question now: &#8220;Why am I so awesome?&#8221;&#8230;notice how your inner-self comes up with a few good reasons also. So what&#8217;s the point to all this? The point is, you need to realize that your brain doesn&#8217;t give half a fuck as to the content of the question. It doesn&#8217;t care about your feelings, it doesn&#8217;t care what you might think about the answer, and it definitely doesn&#8217;t care what you do with the answer. All it cares about is answering the question you put forth it.</p><p>If at this point you didn&#8217;t have an &#8220;ah-ha&#8221; moment, please stand in front of a mirror and bitch slap yourself. This concept of harnessing the unlimited power and resourcefulness of your inner self can leapfrog your success in health, fitness, wealth and total world domination. Not only that, you can have some fun with this stuff. Like, when I ask myself how I can achieve world domination, my subconscious tells me the following:</p><p>&#8220;Well to dominate the world, you need to lead&#8230; Which you can do, but now you need to upscale that shit and get the following of a billion little minions. They all need a 9mm hand gun and a pair of nunchucks &#8211; no exceptions! Then brain wash them with an idea and get them to fight for you and take down any opposition. This should be easy since you&#8217;ll attract fit, healthy and sexy individuals and most of the world is already getting fat. Then&#8230;&#8221;</p><p>Ok so you get the idea. Actually&#8230; Now I know how mad terrorists groups can get so many retards to fight for them and/or strap a bomb to their chest while running into the open public, ready to obliterate their own ass at the press of a button. (And you thought you had to watch Fox news to figure this shit out&#8230; Nope).</p><p>Now that we know how this concept works and how it can be &#8220;mind-blowingly&#8221; helpful, what types of questions should you ask yourself?</p><p>Well that&#8217;s simple, every question that you mutter to your lonely self should start with &#8220;How to&#8230;&#8221;, &#8220;How do I&#8230;&#8221; or even &#8220;What should I do&#8230;&#8221;. Doing this will trigger your inner-self (subconscious) to start looking for clues and facts to come up with an answer along with a few ideas. THEN, put that stuff into ACTION and you&#8217;ll be well on your way.</p><p>A few things to note &#8211; This recalibration will take some time and effort on your part. If you&#8217;ve been asking yourself loser-like questions such as &#8220;Why do I suck&#8230; &#8221; &#8220;Why am I such a screw up&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;Why can&#8217;t I just get things right&#8230;&#8221; for the better part of 10+ years, then you will have your work cut out for you, specially for the first 2 weeks because you&#8217;ll CONSTANTLY catch yourself in the act.</p><p>Like, you&#8217;ll punt some one&#8217;s baby kitten and then mutter &#8220;Why am I such a bad pers&#8230;. WAIT WAIT&#8230; Re-calibrate here&#8230; How should I fix this act of inhumanity?&#8221;</p><p>See? First question &#8211; USELESS. Second question &#8211; MUCH more productive. Remember, baby steps is the name of the game here. You&#8217;ll notice that after about a month your general hard-wiring will have been reprogrammed and now you ask yourself &#8220;how to..&#8221; questions on autopilot. This is where you want to be. So work on this and release the power of your inner-self. It will only make you super awesome &#8211; oh and if you DO decided to dominate the world, make sure to save me a spot in some high-class position&#8230; preferably one where I have to point fingers and yell at people to get shit done.</p><p>Got anything more to add to this technique/concept? Post it in the comments below. I want to see what some of you come up with. Also, if you&#8217;ve put this stuff to use, let&#8217;s heart what kind of impact it&#8217;s had on you. Have you dominated the world yet? No?&#8230; how about your spouse? Don&#8217;t hold back.</p><p>To Being Fit &amp; Dominating For Life</p><p>-FitJerk</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Book</a></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /> </span></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2009, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).

Here&#8217;s that post: <a href="http://truth2beingfit.com/2009/05/27/more-selfworth--other-stuff.aspx" target="_blank">http://truth2beingfit.com/2009/05/27/more-selfworth&#8211;other-stuff.aspx</a><br /> It is quite clear to me that many people are lacking some serious self confidence while working out. Now the obvious argument is that they are in the gym to improve how they look &#8211; which will result in a more confident person. Ok, that only works half the time. MOST of the time the lack of confidence is mental. I&#8217;ve seen guys who are absolutely RIPPED and yet they still see flaws with themselves when they look in the mirror.</p><p>On the contrary, I see guys that are in OK shape who believe that they are the shit! This is no accident people, it is very clear that true confidence comes from the inside. I don&#8217;t give a rat&#8217;s ass what you look like right now&#8230; If you can&#8217;t love your body at this very moment, not only will you give up and/or quit, but you will be intimidated in the gym and become stressed from the harsh words that people might say. You will not enjoy the process of transforming your body.</p><p>So to combat this I have something I like to call the newbie self-conscious drill. If you train with me personally I&#8217;ll make you do it, but it&#8217;s better to do it on your own or along side a gym buddy.</p><p>For the next 30 days, after you finish every workout, find a mirror that is located in a spot where there is a lot of traffic. This could be in the change room or in the gym itself, it doesn&#8217;t matter WHERE it is, as long as it&#8217;s somewhere important. Then for 30 seconds to a minute you just stand there and admire yourself. Flex the muscle group you just worked, pose at an angle that makes you look hot, do a dance, stare at the shiny glaze of sweat over your body. Do what ever it takes&#8230; The point is to find things to love about yourself while dis-regarding what others around you think.</p><p>&#8220;&#8230;But FJ, what if someone says something mean or comments on what I&#8217;m doing? I&#8217;ll feel like such a dork!&#8221;</p><p>.. STFU! That&#8217;s the whole point numnuts! If someone gives you crap, throw it back in their face. NOBODY is perfect. If they say something stupid about how your arms are too big, tell them their ass needs more work. Or better yet, just laugh and IGNORE them.</p><p>At 6% body fat, it is no secret that the veins in my arms POP when I work my biceps. After this I look in the mirror and do a little flex. A chubster once said to me: &#8220;Dude&#8230; Holy shit, are you on juice? There&#8217;s like no way you can get that ripped naturally!&#8221;</p><p>What did FJ do? I simply said: &#8220;Don&#8217;t be jealous homie, I&#8217;m all natural!&#8221;</p><p>Eventually, not only will you learn to love who you are, you will get excited as the body that you&#8217;re trapped in starts to change and take better shape. You will grow a thicker psychological skin, and people will start to show you some respect. If you can deal with douchebags that poke fun at you before you started your body transforming journey, imagine what you can put up with once you reach your goals?! You can deal with ANYTHING.</p><p>This type of training goes wayyy beyond helping you become more confident in the gym, it spills over into every area of your friggin&#8217; life, so do with it what you will. Cheers!</p><p>To Being Fit &amp; Sexy 4 Life</p><p>- Fit Jerk</p><p>P.S- Oh and I&#8217;m not gona sit here and say I haven&#8217;t poked fun at anyone. Are you kidding me? Of course I have, but I&#8217;ve noticed that some people just truly don&#8217;t give a sh*t, and their confidence just BARRELS through. When this happens I&#8217;m always taken back, and frankly quite impressed. How many girls/guys do you know (that are in less than ideal shape) who are so in love with themselves that you wonder, or sometimes WISH you could have an ounce of their confidence? Trust me, this is where YOU want to be. It&#8217;s not being delusional, it&#8217;s being real!</p><p>&#8211;</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com" target="_blank"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" src="http://flawlessfitnessbook.com/images/banner_longadd.jpg" alt="fitness book banner" width="379" height="49" /></a></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2009, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).

The reason I’m doing this is to PROVE to you why the magic fitness number works and why it will always work. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Will I be hated by some? Probably</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Will I get random threats from scam companies? Definitely </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>So what exactly am I talking about? I am talking about the number 30. Remember this figure.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>It doesn’t matter what gimmick, supplement or product you have, when it comes to transforming your body into a state which you want it to be in, the MINIMAL amount of time it will take to get there is 30 days. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Before we go any further, let me be realistic &#8211; I am talking about a full body transformation, not minor improvements. It’s possible for you to lose anywhere from 2-4lbs per week or gain 1lbs per week if you are looking to pack on mass but when you look in the mirror, these improvements will look insignificant. But&#8230; follow the magic fitness number (30 days&#8230; which is 4 weeks) and now you can lose up to 20lbs or gain 4lbs of muscle, which is significant! </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Now here is where things get very mucky. Most of the ‘experts’ know this rule&#8230; this number is not something I pulled out of my behind, it is based on the biological limits of the human body. But&#8230; from a marketing standpoint, what most ‘scammers’ try to do is, counter this fact so that you will buy their products.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Think about it, if some new ‘ab machine’ promised the loss of all of your belly fat in LESS than 30 days, would you be tempted? Of course you would&#8230; but from today onwards I hope you can diminish these ridiculous claims because if it doesn’t follow the magic fitness number, it’s probably worthless. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Which brings us to our next dark advertising tactic &#8211; GUARANTEES! If it takes a minimum of 30 days to transform your body, why would any self-respecting product developer or seller provide a guarantee that only lasts 30 days on the dot? </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Simple&#8230; as soon as the 30<sup>th</sup> day hits, you are toast. Their warranty period is over, you saw very limited results (or non at all!) and now you cannot get your money back. It’s a trap that wayyy too many people fall into, but what astounds me even more is that they KEEP falling into this trap. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>This is one of the easiest and simplest ways of separating products that don’t work from the ones that do. I myself provide a full 60 day money-back guarantee on my book&#8230; why?</span></p><p>Because I KNOW that after 30 days, your results will only get BETTER, but don’t take my word for it, head over to: <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html">www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html</a> and check it out for yourself. Then get back to me&#8230; because unlike others, I actually like to keep in touch with my customers and help improve their quality of life.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Now here is one last topic that I need to discuss- your plan of action. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the magic fitness number works, but not without some constancy and implementation on your part. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Otherwise, there will be no ‘magic’ that takes place when it comes to your fitness&#8230; you NEED a source of motivation to get you out of the house,<span> </span>you NEED a source of knowledge that shows you EXACTLY what to do and why. You need to be able to have a lending hand to help keep you on track, and I have made sure that I have included all of such things in my Flawless Fitness eBook. You will even get a super-secret email that only YOU have access to&#8230; it is a direct link to me. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>I know that the “magic-pill” and “instant gratification” claims seem very appealing, but if you are ready to make a change&#8230; a REAL change, then head over to<br /> <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html">www.flawlessfitnessbook.com/thebook.html</a> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>I will talk to you soon&#8230; </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>- FJ<br /> </span></p><p style='text-align:left'>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</br><i>&copy; 2008 &#8211; 2012, By <i><b>FitJerk</b></i>. <i>FitJerk.com is a division of <a href="http://www.flawlessfitnessmedia.com" target="_blank">Flawless Fitness Media</a> &#8211; All Rights Reserved &#8211; No part of this post is to be republished without author consent under any forms of media (including print, internet, video or audio transcription).
