Fit Jerk’s Oustanding Product Awards

Fit Jerk — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:21:23 +0000

If you’re reading this, it means that you came across a fitness product that is the BEST OF THE BEST! Period. You see, there are many products out there, and MOST of them are garbage (I’m sure you know what I mean), so it is my job to weed out the ones that are actually worth your time and more importantly… MINE!

Most fitness products fall into one of the following categories:

Expensive Junk
Overpriced Heap Of Plastic
Flimsy Piece Of Shit
Bio-mechanical Disaster
Protruding Health Hazard
WTF Were They Thinking Machine
And many more…

However, once in a blue moon there happens to come along a product that is not only a great buy, but works as claimed (or as close to it) and BLOWS everything out of the water. I believe in the sea of garbage, these fitness products deserve a little recognition, so they are awarded with:

This is a seal that will GUARANTEE that the product works, and has been personally tested and reviewed by me and thus, gets my HIGHEST recommendation. Believe me, this is NOT an easy feat to accomplish, so be sure to check them out.

“But FJ, How Do I Spot A Fake?!”

Good question dear pupil. You see, I’ve made this process all FOOL-PROOF. Whenever you see that seal on my site or any other site (because companies who get awarded with this will boast about it – no doubt) you should be able to CLICK the picture and verify its legitimacy. How? Simple… it will bring you BACK to this page and you should see the questioned product in the list down below.

Signs Of A FAKE!

1. The award image is NOT click-able – (Even if the product DID get my award, the prune of a webmaster should have it linked!)

2. The award image is click-able, brings you to this page, but you DO-NOT see the product mentioned in the list below. I rate everything on my site from 1-5 stars, but even 5 stars is NOT ENOUGH for it to earn this award. It has to go above and beyond my expectations! (Did I tell you that I’m picky as hell? Yeah… go figure)

————————————————-PRODUCT AWARD FAQ————————————————-

Q — “What If You Get Bought Out…?”

Are you seriously asking me this foolish question? I would NEVER compromise my trust and sell my soul in this way. In fact, if a company probably tried “buy me out” to get my seal of approval… I’d probably rock them in the face. Then I’d b*tch slap their lawyers for letting them even consider such a STUPID idea in the first place. Who said violence can’t solve anything?

The point is… I wouldn’t waste my freaking time going out of my way, trying out, testing and PERSONALLY BUYING these products if I didn’t believe in them 100%. Got it? Good!

Q — “How Does Your Award Differ From Other Ones… Say From Bodybuilding.com?”

First let me say I have nothing against bodybuilding.com, they’re in the business of selling supplements and fitness products and they’re good at it. Now as far as their awards go, it’s judged on sales volume and visitor/customer votes. Does voting keep things fair? It’s questionable, but at least they clearly state that no one will ever buy them off. Good stuff. But here’s how “I” differ…

First, unlike their PAINFULLY sleep-inducing video that gets released, I get straight to the freakin’ point! Seriously, if I had that kind of budget, you know I’d rock your socks off when it came to doing an “awards” show. Watching it for the first minute… I wanted to poke my eye out. Here’s a little taste… (don’t say I didn’t warn you!)

Second, I scrutinize these products and review the HELL out of them before coming up with the conclusion of giving them an award. Bodybuilding’s award is based on votes… and although the award can’t be bought from Bodybuilding.com, people CAN be bought to go and place a fake vote. I’m not saying it happens, I’m just saying it COULD.

…So in the end, you decide what’s legit. You know where I stand.

Q — “I am a representative from “X” company who won your award, is it possible to include your award in print?”

Well first, congrats – It’s no easy feat! And yes, but only if you meet the following requirements. 1 – You must contact me and let me know in which publication it’s being printed and approximately when. 2 – You must print it in it’s original resolution and in color if possible… no image enhancements or cropping (resizing is allowed only under special circumstance… contact me!). 3 – Since click verification isn’t possible, www.fitjerk.com must be mentioned. Follow these 3 rules and were golden.

Q — “I am a representative from “X” company, how do we make our product eligible for your award?”

Simple… you make sure its AWESOME, then contact me and send me a unit for review. There is no hard checklist where I tick off random notes and come to a conclusion that it gets an award. However, there ARE certain things that I look for:

Price & Value For Money
Performance Relating To The Claims You’ve Made
Innovation (Is it the same old shit? Or did you take a chance, push the boundaries and raise the bar?)
User Variability (Is it just for high-caliber athletes or can anyone use it to get results?)
Product Usability (Is it easy to use/follow or do I have to follow a complex routine?)
Company PR & Service (Were you helpful? Did you make sure that FJ received the product in good time? Did you follow up after the review – whether good or bad? Did you offer other products that I could review?)

Q — “What if I buy a product that won your award and it sucks?”

Are you kidding me? Did you read what kind of ridiculous process it must go through in order to deserve one? I doubt this will ever happen. BUT… in the rare instance that it does, I’d first stop freaking out. Then I’d check to see if you got a flawed product. Maybe it got damaged during shipping. Contact the company stating your concern and they should replace it for you. If not, give ME a shout. If you follow those two steps and you are SURE it’s ineffective… then oh well, suck it up. That’s life princess… every thing’s not perfect. But again, I HIGHLY DOUBT this will ever happen.

Q — “I found a company showing off your award, but it’s a FAKE PICTURE! What do I do?!”

First, you need to make 100% sure its a fake (check the list above). You also need to realize that webservers aren’t perfect. This means my page “could” be down for a few minutes (no worries – it reboots quickly). If however you are totally 110% convinced that it’s a “fake”… email me ASAP! Don’t email the company directly, or even talk about it. Let me deal with those award-faking tools.

Grunt You Wimp! Increase Power In Your Workouts

Fit Jerk — Sat, 02 May 2009 02:10:23 +0000

Today I’m going to cover a topic that a lot of people don’t understand… And as a result shun those who DO understand it. This is called ignorance, and I’m here to stab it to death. I’m talking about those so called “loud” and “obnoxious” guys (or girls) in the gym that grunt during their workouts.

The random noises they make at the end of each rep is something that pisses off most people, and lately, gyms have started put forth a policy where there put up signs that BAN you from grunting so you don’t disturb others. WTF?

This is a gym! This is where shit goes down, this is where you do work, this is where you hustle! If you want quiet, go hit up a library! I can’t believe how some gyms are bending over to accommodate those are totally clueless. I understand from a business point of view that a few people can get intimidated and scared off when they see someone grunt and yell… But that’s easily fixed with something called education.

Instead of having a poster that says “don’t grunt”… How about a poster that says “Did you know that a quick and forceful exhalation of breath can result in a 10-20% increase in power output?” — It’s true. This is why in Karate you’ll see everyone doing something called a “Kia” every time they throw a strike. You are releasing your inner energy to increase your power output, not to be a purposeful asshole to others around you.

So, by now you’re probably intrigued and enlightened about the power of the grunt, and want to know an efficient way to use it during your workouts. Right? Of course you do… And I gotcha covered. This “explosion of power” only works if you time it right. Randomly yelling will make you look like a knob, there is a proper technique to this.

The first thing you need to understand is that every rep has 3 stages to it. The Eccentric, Isometric & Concentric phase. This is represented with 3 numbers… Also known as the “tempo” of an exercise. So for example, if I say do 5 reps of squats with a tempo of 3-1-2 — You’d sink down for a count of three, hold for a count of one and then stand up for a count of 2. Now, it is the CONCENTRIC phase where we want to focus our grunt.

When your muscles are contracting, this is where you want to let out a forceful grunt, or yell… Making sure you exhale powerfully in the process. As I mentioned earlier, don’t yell for the sake of yelling… You’re yelling to exhale AIR. It will take some practice, but after a few odd noises, I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it. Use this technique wisely and you’ll be able to crank out an extra rep or two. Happy grunting.

Fit Jerk’s Quality Supplement Awards

Fit Jerk — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 03:53:32 +0000

If you’re reading this, it means that you came across a supplement that is the BEST OF THE BEST! Period. You see, there are many supplements out there, and MOST of them are garbage (I’m sure you know what I mean), so it is my job to weed out the ones that are actually worth your time and more importantly… MINE!

I’m going to list some of the categories that MOST supplements fall into. These are in NO particular order, just ones that manage to pop up from time to time. Some even pop up frequently… which is a shame really, because now I’m going to bust their ass about it.

The Categories MOST supplements fall into:

Expensive Dump
Overpriced Kool-Aid
Vomit Inducing Fluff
Useless Cow Dung
Bloating Booster
Rectal Ejaculators
And many more…

However, once in a blue moon there happens to come along a supplement that is not only a great buy, but works as claimed (or as close to it) and BLOWS everything out of the water. I believe in the sea of garbage, these supplements deserve a little recognition, so they are awarded with my quality supplement award:

This is a seal that will GUARANTEE that the product works, and has been personally tested and reviewed, thus getting my HIGHEST recommendation. Believe me, this is NOT an easy feat to accomplish, so be sure to give these supplements a test drive.

“But FJ, How Do I Spot A Fake?!”

Signs Of A FAKE!

1. The award image is NOT click-able. (Even if the product DID get one, the prune of a webmaster should have it linked!)

2. The award image is click-able, brings you to this page, but you DO-NOT see the product mentioned in the list below.

Price & Value For Money
Performance Relating To The Claims You’ve Made
Innovation (Is it the same old shit? Or did you take a chance, push the boundaries and raise the bar?)
Consistency (Is it a one shot pony or does each serving kick just as much ass as the previous?)
User Variability (Do my friends who are highly active and do pro sports experience similar results when taking your product?)
Product Variability (Is it just for “bodybuilders”? Or can it be used in many different sports & activities?)
Product Useability (Is it easy to use/follow or do I have to follow a complex cycling system?)
Company PR & Service (Were you helpful? Did you make sure that FJ received the product in good time? Did you follow up after the reivew – whether good or bad? Did you offer other products that I could review?)
