“Man is the first weapon of battle.”—Ardant du Picq, Battle Studies [1870]

“Most wanna be “hard men” put more time into bright and shiny gear—guns, knives, doodads than they ever have into the meat and bones holding up the toys in their pretend warrior photo.”—Comment in Conversation from a Real-World Operator Who Wishes to Remain Anonymous

Deeper Math on Block 3 and How It Grows on Blocks 1 & 2 for those already on the Unleaded 6-Month Transformation Journey

BLOCK 2 AIMS

·        Develop the Posterior Chain in all angles and variations using the natural pulling arcs of the targeted musculature.

·        A pull-up bar is required although anything resembling the standard pull-up [Kipping or Marine] is not on the table.

·        The Old Wisdom states there are better ways to develop than these common go-tos.

·        I emphasize Overall Training Time is being greatly reduced by the Time we have got to Block 3.

·        If you’ve done the work in blocks 1 & 2 this should be making sense and cooking with gas by this point.

·        Those who haven’t hit blocks 1 & 2 will suffer from the Goldilocks Illusion.

·        That is thinking “Shouldn’t I be doing more?”

·        Nope. Hit your Blocks and go live your life!

·        Or…

·        I haven’t jumped into the Unleaded Whole Hog because it’s likely too intense for me.

·        Nope—It’s always scalable, options are offered.

·        What is not scalable?

·        The grit and determination to say, “Damn it! Let’s do this. It’s under 30 minutes a day, time to step up!”

EXERCISE BREAKDOWN

·        Back Exercises: 8

·        Biceps Exercises: 3

·        Rear Delt Exercises: 2

·        Trap/Neck Exercises: 1

·        Training Time: Sub 30 minutes.

GEAR REQUIRED

·        Pull-Up Bar

·        An Olympic Bar [It remains unloaded.]

·        A set of dumbbells.

THE PREMISE & THE CHALLENGE

·        Think you need heavy weight to wake that back up?

·        Wanna re-set your lumbar curve to kybosh back pain?

·        Get in front of and/or re-hab rotator cuff injuries by using “In the holes” tactics?

·        Spend less time training to have more time doing whatever else ya want?

·        Give Block 3 a Go and see for yourself.

·        After 1 month of 2 sessions per week, at the end I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised and impressed with yourself.

To get cookin’ with gas!

You can snag Block 3 Here.

Blocks 1 & 2 are available in the store.

Or sit with the Goldilocks Illusion and recall our opening warrior Advice.

“Man is the first weapon of battle.”—Ardant du Picq, Battle Studies [1870]

Be the baddest forged weapon you can be no matter how old or rusty the ore you’re working with is.

We are seeing men and women in their 60s dropping 20-40 pounds AND at least 2 have reported that their cardiologists have removed them from medication for “prior conditions.” That is life-changing. Kudos to these Warriors!

Ready to ROAR, Brothers & Sisters!
