Unstoppable Mindset
WARNING: This post is for grown ups who are not offended by frank language. If you can’t handle a bleeped out 4 letter word do not read this post. If you think you have what it takes, keep reading.
I’m sure you have heard the term “paradox”. The dictionary defines paradox as “a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.”
They are basically clever sayings that screw with your head.
One pretty famous paradox is called the Unstoppable Force Paradox. It caught my attention the other day and started my gears turning. It goes like this:
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?
So being the clever boy I am I have solved the paradox: When an Unstoppable Force meets an Immovable Object we soon find out that one of them is an F’ing fraud.
But which one?
The only true unstoppable force, Chuck Norris.
Let me explain how I see things. It is actually quite simple. In life YOU must be the unstoppable force, and while things might seem immovable, they are not. They are the aforementioned f’ing liars.
But you must believe it for it to be true. You must believe that NOTHING is immovable.
The only true immovable object, Homer Simpson.
I hear it all the time "My schedule is so busy, I don't have time to workout". Really? You mean don't can't get your a** out of bed just 5 minutes earlier and do
a quick intense 5 minutes of bodyweight squats and jumping jacks (or some variation
of that will jack your heart rate and boost your metabolism the rest of the day)?
Reality check folks: this is a mindset, plain and simple. Are you going to be controlled or are you going to be doing the controlling?
You do not move your workout around to fit your schedule, you move your schedule around to fit your workout. That is when success happens.
Part of the issue is the semantics. Too many people think of it as *just* a workout. Well it ain’t just a workout – it is your health, it is literally your life. And that is why it is so important.
So get your S^*t together already, and get your priorities straight. Seriously.
Not having enough time to work out is a bulls^*t excuse, and it is not valid. Yes you do. Get your a** out of bed just 5 minutes earlier and do
a quick, intense 5 minutes of bodyweight squats and jumping jacks (or some variation
of that will jack your heart rate and boost your metabolism the rest of the day).
"I don't know how to eat right". Equally bulls**t. There are resources out there that have the information you need. You can always email me or worst case scenario you can Google. And if all else fails - eat crap loads of veggies and fruit. No one ever got fat from eating too much spinach.
Let me steer this to the positive and make it as simple as possible: You must become the Unstoppable Force and turn everything else into the (not so) Immovable Object. Let nothing stand in your way. You must be ruthless in your pursuit of your goals no matter what they may be.
You owe it to yourself. Your life literally hangs in the balance.

God Bless Our Military and their Families
OK, so I know this isn't fitness related, but we are all
so appreciative of the freedom we enjoy year around - especially
during the holidays.
Do you have a friend or family member in the military? Can you imagine
the excitement of being surprised by them coming home to you during
the holidays?
Grab a tissue and enjoy ;)

Rock Star Boot Camp - Indoor/Outdoor Warehouse
Starting Monday, November 22, 2010 - the Desert Ridge location shifts to our new indoor/outdoor warehouse boot camp. This one-of-a-kind training will forever change the way you look at fitness and fat loss ;)
The google maps for our new location is here
The actual street address is here:
20635 N. Cave Creek Road
Phoenix, AZ 85024
You will see Mohawk Plaza building on east side of road. Furniture Ranch, Dolphin Pools and PAWS Animal Clinic are visible in the front.
Rock Star does NOT have a 'store front'.
You will enter through north gate (the south gate is always locked) and
drive around to back lot and we are in warehouse #AW6.
(Again, Rock Star Boot Camp does not have a 'store front' like Furniture Ranch, so that is why you have to drive around to the back side of the building, always entering through the NORTH gate as the south gate is permanently locked)
Call 480-981-6877 with any questions.
Hope to see you soon!

More Post-workout Snack/Meal Ideas
Here's a few more post-workout snack/meal ideas:
Protein Shake with Banana
After a workout, you want ample protein combined with a carbohydrate. A protein shake made from whey protein, water, and half a banana is a great choice, since your body quickly turns it into energy.
Recommended Serving Size: 2 scoops of whey protein powder combined with water and 1/2 banana, 250 calories
Peanut Butter & Banana on Rice Cakes
If you're craving something more substantial after a workout, a healthy peanut butter and banana sandwich will fit the bill. Instead of bread, smooth your peanut butter onto two brown rice cakes for extra fiber (without empty carbs). And while you may usually avoid bananas because they're too full of sugar, eating one after a workout is just fine. This is one of the only times I recommend a high-glycemic carbohydrate source such as banana, because the uptake will be rapid. Translation: It'll replenish your energy quickly.
Recommended Serving Size: 1/2 banana, 1 tbsp. peanut butter, and 2 brown rice cakes, 215 calories
Hummus and Pita
Another great carb/protein combo: Hummus and whole wheat pita. Hummus, a dip made from pureed chickpeas, gives you both carbs and protein. Coupled with the slow-release energy from the whole wheat pita, it makes for a snack that'll keep you fueled for hours.
Recommended Serving Size: 1/4 cup hummus with 1 whole wheat pita, 275 calories
Yogurt and Fresh Berries
Protein makes sense after a workout, since it contains amino acids that help build muscle. Your muscles are depleted of amino acids after a workout, so you need an adequate supply of protein to help build them up. Greek yogurt can pack nearly 15 grams of protein; add some berries for carbohydrate-driven energy.
Recommended Serving Size: 1 8-ounce container of plain, low-fat yogurt with 1/2 cup berries, 180 calories
Turkey and Cheese with Apple Slices
If you're not in the mood for a sandwich, skip the bread and eat the fillings on their own! Spread a soft-cheese wedge over two or three slices of lean deli turkey, then roll up for a quick, high-protein, eat-on-the-go snack. Add a sliced apple for some energy-boosting (and glycogen-replenishing) carbs.
Recommended Serving Size: 4 ounces deli nitrate-free turkey, 1 soft cheese wedge, and 1 apple, 240 calories
Protein Shake with Banana

Die Fat or Get Tough
I think this might be my new favorite person on the planet...
maybe a long lost brother, perhaps?
Couldn't convey the message more clear myself.
WARNING: If you are one who consistently comes up with excuses for sh*t,
this book/clip/author/me is really gonna p*ss you off.
Enjoy!
