Here are a few random tips that will help you get more done and probably enjoy your life a little more in the process. I can’t take credit for “inventing” these tips but they are very useful and have helped me to be more productive.
Get your most important tasks done first thing in the morning- Do this before you check email or voicemail or anything like that. When you start getting sidetracked with other stuff ten minutes can turn into two hours and before you know it it’s time for your lunch break. Get the important stuff done first.
Don’t answer every phone call or text you receive- You are not required by some odd law to do so. You are not required to be at the beck and call of everyone you know. Many friends and acquaintances get upset if you don’t immediately pick up or text them back.
“That bastard! I know he has his phone with him right now!”
But these people fail to realize that a cell phone is a luxury that you have for your convenience and it is meant to make your life easier; not more difficult and more stressful. It is not… …continue reading.
Question: Jason,
I bought Muscle Gaining Secrets a couple of weeks ago and so far I am incredibly happy with the results, however there is one thing that I haven’t been able to figure out. I am following the Maximum Mass in Minimum Time workout plan. What is the best timing for hour long Kickboxing sessions? I typically do Kickboxing on Tuesday evenings, Thursday evenings, and Saturday afternoons. Should I be lifting weights on the same days as Kickboxing (before or after?) or should I be lifting weights on Monday/Wednesday/Friday?
Thanks for your help!

Answer: John, this depends on your age, recovery ability, schedule and what you are prioritizing. I will assume that getting big and strong is of primary importance to you right now. Typically, I like guys to be doing some kind of physical activity six days per week. So lifting three times and kickboxing three times would be perfect. However, if you find that you are having a hard time recovering and aren’t making strength or size gains then we would have to explore another option. In this case I would recommend that you lift on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and then do… …continue reading.

Although there are other people at the controls, manning and updating my websites, I do read all of the mail, and the questions I get asked most often (hundreds upon hundreds of times now) are about my diet. All of the emails and letters are so hard to keep up with, so I finally sat down and decided to write a comprehensive look at my diet. I’m writing this on the fly, so even though it’s long, I will most certainly leave some important things out.. ‘Sorry’ about that in advance.
This is not going to be political or preachy. I am not here to push my beliefs on anybody. This is a chance for all of you who have asked for diet advice from me, to get some ideas and hopefully gain a better understanding of how easy it is for me to maintain athletic performance with the foods I consume. In the mean time, I will simply lead by example.
I noticed that a lot of fighters write down what they may generically eat on a given day and simply post that as their “diet”. I’m sure this leads to confusion with most readers and… …continue reading.
Not surprisingly, a lot of people get offended by the fact that I am not in the business of promoting fitness. When I post something to this effect on FaceBook or Twitter some people get very upset and even call me mean names. (I have feelings, ya know)
Now I know this may come as an odd statement, considering what I do for a living and the fact that I am a part of the fitness industry. But I really don’t care to “give the gift of fitness” to people. I’m not going to be showing up at your front door dressed as Richard Simmons and telling you to pull your fanny of the couch because “it’s time to get fit!”
I don’t give a shit.
Before I go any further I should point out that I am not talking to most of my regular readers because, obviously you wouldn’t be here if you fit the description. Rather, I am pointing out the fact that people have often mistaken me for the wrong guy and I am trying to clear that up.
If you want to sit around and eat donuts all day why would that possibly bother… …continue reading.
