Move on cardio. Move over LSD cardio. And move over long strength training sessions at the gym shym!

I just did a brief workout which was supposed to last 5 minutes and leave my upper body ZONKED.

Did I coin that term? Hehe. IT’s a term I use often int he book ont he BEST darn exercise ever, which Ididnt do today …

But anyway, my ladder workout was something I’ve mentioned in MOST of my workout books.

(Except Gorilla Grip, because if you’re working the grip – you WORK the grip – and ANY ONE of those exercises is a grip workout unto itself. Mix and match if you so choose tho!)

But anyway, I did a very simple variant of what I ask you to do (and truth be told, I’ve said in the books – do what you can – and work up from there!)

I did a ladder workout. 5-1 (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) pull-ups. Same thing for handstand pushups.

Now, this was EASY PEASY for me, but I FELT it regardless.

And let me tell you bro, if you can get done with 15 of each in the manner I mentioned going UP the ladder, and then 15 more DOWN, then that “60” is all you need for the day!

And it don’t take long at all.

Yours truly walked around a bit after this.

Felt the need to …

Without thinking about it, I dropped down and pounded out 50 Hindus (squats) which felt so natural!

One of the reasons Hindus are so great is not just the way they get your heart pumping and THUMPING (as my daughter often used to say and says “:I can hear your heart thumping!” )

And it’s what I tell you in my books and courses.

If I cannot hear you breathe – then you ain’t doing it RIGHT!

And they put the weight SQUARELY on your thighs and to an extent the calves where it BELONGS, not the lower back.

Done right, at least.

I finished off with a few stretches from my latest book on isometrics.

And I’m done.

Feeling great.

10 minute tops maybe including the stretches, but I doubt. More like 7 for me!

And thats what I gotta tell you. Quick workouts done right – the order of the day, BRO!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Be sure and pick up the 0 Excuses Fitness System to read – and SEE (hey, I hate videos, but I gotta do them for this one if just due to the UNIQUE nature of those exercises I teach!) for MORE workouts of this nature you’ll love. Jump on board NOW, bro.

If you ask any succesful person the reason behind their success, at least on a financial front, here is what they will say likely. Or a derivative thereof …

“Give them what they want!”

The masses chant for giving them what they need.

Now, in some cases “need” may actually make the person millions. If you made something that everyone needed, and couldn’t do without … but there comes the WANT.

Sometimes, the “couldn’t do without” means want. Not always, but often!

And need can always be “converted” to a want, my friend.

“I need that set of new jeans”

“I WANT that set of new jeans”.

Subtle difference. Or maybe not?

Well, it’s when need becomes WANT – a deep desire to have and do MORE – is when things start to MOVE.

In any sphere of life (or business, or FITNESS as well).

Lets face it, bro.

Often times, we “dont want” to workout despite out best intentions.

Often times, we want to do the exact opposite of what we should be.

And a kick up the ass is what we NEED at that time.

And this sort of kick makes you WANT to do more of what you should be.

Get the point as yet?

If you’re serious about fitness, that pull-up bar you installed at home, either for yourself or your little ones will MAKE YOU WANT – I repeat – WANT to do more.

Oddly enough, the excuses and “I dont want” will melt right away.

Same for cardio.

Hindu squats will make you WANT to do ‘em throughout the day, or at least a few times (and if they dont’, you ain’t doing the deep breathing part right).

Same for reverse pushups.

Handstand training.

The BEST damn exercise ever.

And its really this WANT which will get YOU and your ASS into high gear, and start doing.

Of course, if you’re lazy and de-motivated in the first place, this may not work at all.

But I’ve seen people that HATE exercise become “converts” and HOW! (after a week or so of incorporating this little tip of home based workouts that WORK).

And so forth.

Get on the train now, my friend. Start right here – the 0 Excuses Fitness System.

Watch the flab fly off!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Another GOLDIE in my collection – and should be in YOURS too – is Advanced Hill Training. Truly something anyone in any way shape or form serious about REAL conditioning should have – NOW!

While pumping out my daily “morning” set of handstand pushups, NOSE TO THE FLOOR! Style – and in MY style, which is far harder and more beneficial than most other ways out there, I thought of this.

It came to me, as that heart BE a pounding.

That being, leading by example.

Many moons ago, I installed a chining bar at home for my daughter.

It was the same one which couldn’t take yours truly’s weight all those years ago when he was overweight.

No problemo. Yours truly headed to the park, and still does! Can’t replicate thick bar workouts by ANYTHING else …

But home “doorway” chinning bars can give you a hell of a workout too, and can be used by ALL ages, but unfortunately isn’t.

I had one growing up, but my Dad never actually “did the thing” (mostly because he couldn’t himself), and so after the initial novelty, the damn thing just “stayed there” until YEARS later when yours truly came from a brief hiatus from China and had some of the best ADVANCED pull-up workouts of his LIFE on it.

Anyway, what do I remember?

When doing handstand pushups, I didnt “ask my daughter” to do ‘em with me. She was 3 at the time, but she thought it was great fun, and jumped in with her little hands and feet trying to do ‘em!

I merely passed on the “how” of how to do these to her.

Which for kids the form is DIFFERENT.

But, the point begets.

That being that she did ‘em, and without any coaxing from my end.

And still does ‘em!

I passed on the tip of “workouts done throughout the day” to her in a whispered “conspiratoral” no-one else knows “whisper to the ear”.

Thats how you do it with kids!

Pretty soon, she was pumping ‘em out while doing her daily dose of dumbphone videos …

And hence Kiddie Fitness, hehe.

And lest you think this works for kids alone, think again.

I was giving my wife some basic safety techniques on the doorway chinning bar a while back (because it collapsed once with my weight – but to be honest, that was YEARS ago) …

“I know you won’t do ‘em”, I began hurriedly.

After all, everything Rahul does is stupid, hehe. Why would she.

The answer stunned me, to be honest.

“Of course I will! If you can be a monkey, so can I!”

I must confess I was left GAPING.

My wife doing pull-ups??

“Sure, you CAN and you SHOULD!” I went. “But I had no idea that I ….”

I left off, grinning.

But you get the point.

And therein lies the point of LEADING – by EXAMPLE.

Do the right thing – and do it yourself first.

DO the exercises first – and do’em yourself first!

And watch the rest of the world JUMP in.

Could be what I described above, or the crowds that chant “Da Xing Xing” and try to join in China.

Inspiration never goes “unnoticed”!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

P.S. – Learn how to get some of the best workouts of your life right in your HOME via the best system out there – right HERE – The 0 Excuses Fitness System.

PS #2 – And doorway chinning bars can be a POWERFUL tool even for those of you used to more advanced stuff. Believe me, that thang stares you in the face and dares you to do MORE every time you walk past it!

PPS – I’ve always maintained, and have backed this up with PICTURES (on social media back when I used it) that women can, and SHOULD do pull-ups – as well as many styles of push-ups – and definitely hanstand pushups. NO, you won;t become a behemoth by doing ‘em – but you’ll get TONED and muscular – which is what y’all want anyway. Get on the train NOW, ladies. You have NO excuses either, hehe.

(Give y’all a nice Gorilla Grip for them hecklers, hehe)

Well, well well.

A man that TRULY deserves it has been awarded the “medal of freedom” by the current US Prez, the one and only Donald Trump.

The Trumpinator, and he couldn’t have thought of a better person to award it to.

A true inspiration.

A man that has always stood for wrestling, REAL wrestling, and has put wrestling on the map (numerous times) globally, not just in America.

Olympic Gold Medalist.

Fanatical about conditioning! I heard he once did 9000 Hindu squats straight…. WHEW!

Yours truly is fanatical, and has been called advanced by most, but 9000! No way, hehe – not as yet at least.

(Not a goal I’ve set for myself!)

I’ve no doubt what Gable would think of my handstand pushup and pull-up routine, of course.

“Just normal”, he’d probably smile.

To him, most likely!

The man with PHENOMENAL grip strength – the “pocket dynamo” with incredible pinning power!

I wouldn’t say he was to the US what the Gama was to India, but he’s pretty damn close!

And I couldn’t have thought of a better person to award this, especially when you hear THIS in his speech …

“Its more important to help others achieve success than it is for YOU to succeed yourself!”

And from a man that has gone through a HELL OF A LOT himself from when he was young (a teenager IIRC) – well – spot on Dan.

And you’re right anyway!

It’s all about uplifting others.

And if Susan, for instance, a busy lady I sometimes chat with often “feels spirit when talking to me despite feeling tired otherwise” – then guess what. Worth it!

And it’s really why I put out the 0 Excuses Fitness System and all my other stuff.

MOTIVATION GALORE!

To succeed, both fitness wise and life wise.

And back to wrassling – the real stuff – it teaches you a lot about LIFE.

It teaches you the sheer value and importance of conditioning.

IT teachers you how to take the hard knocks repeatedly, and keep rising like a Phoenix from the Ashes.

It teaches you a hell of a lot about GUMPTION!

It teaches you about how you truly WIN in life.

And much, much more!

But most of all, it teaches you that nothing beats motivation, my friend. And motivating self and others!

Anyway, what did the Trumpinator get wrong?

Perhaps abruptly walking out of the press conference when he was pestered with questions about Biden (which in that setting would seem inappropriate to me …) .

I’m fully FOR him walking out when he’s confronted with other BS like “did the plague come from China”, and other nonsense.

But on this occasion?

Might could have handled it differently, but what do I know.

I do KNOW that the loon job complaining about Gable not wearing masks and being “right wing” and therefore not “worthy of it” are so full of it that awarding them a box of Kellogs would probably “ease” their “matters”, hehe.

And thats all I got to say about that.

Much respect, Sir – you’ve earned it!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Wrestling also teaches you the importance of a rock solid, cast iron GRIP. Learn how to build a grip for the ages right here: Gorilla Grip.

PS #2 – Remember to pick up the definitive course on CORE training right here – – Corrugated Core.

Or the hand that weighs 2.5 kgs …

And since I was talking about a Bollywood actress in the last post, here’s one on my (all time) favorite Bollywood actors.

(even though I dont watch Bollywood , Hollywood, Tolly wood, Spanish wood (sorry, hehe) or any WOOD now … )

(I did watch “Get the Gringo” the other day though. Can’t resist Mel Gibson on occasion, hehe).

(And Passion of the Christ! Now that was GORY, and NOT one I enjoyed, but again, the realism .. )

Anyway, back in the day they made this Indian movie about a lady that (insert drama) got thrown into a mental asylum (insert drama) when she wasn’t insane (insert family drama) and (insert more drama) …. and well, at the end of all that she runs into a drunken lawyer.

Played by none other than the inimitable Sunny Deol.

Sunny “Pa Ji” (as people call him. My Punjabi aint up to speed to be honest, but I believe that is “fondly calling”).

Anyway, he was (is) an action “hero” of yore.

Yes, the REAL MAN times.

When men were men and women were women.

When men drank beer and had hairy chests and weren ‘t apologetic about showing off their mamoth muscles either (even though they were built in the gym, hehe).

Not all .. but we’ll get to that soon!

Anyway, some baddies show up at his house threatening him to drop the case while he’s on his fifth or so bot of whisky. (ey).

And, long story short, he sends them packing with the following dialog.

“When this 2.5 kg hand falls on someone, that someone doesnt rise. He “rises”!”

(goes to heaven was the unsaid thing behind the dialog, which I’ve attempted to translate from Hindi).

Now, make no mistake about it – Sunny is a great actor. Sunny did GREAT action scenes. But the real he man of the family is his Dad.

Look at the two, and you can tell which one you would NOT want to tangle with.

A man that built his strength by working on farms, doing pushups (500 of them at a certain point daily) and more.

A man that is every bit as strong as he looks at the age of 80 plus.

He has the look about him!

So does Sunny, but his strength is mostly built (these days from what I gather) via gyms etc.

Which is fine, but nothing beats Clint Eastwood nearing 90, or above it, pumping out one arm pushups!

And Sunny’s Dad Dharamendra could probably knock off a few himself !

(He said Sunny could, and he couldn’t but I’m not so sure Dharam “Pa ji” couldn’t, hehe).

And last, but not least. Sunny Deol. His “Ghayal” will be a classic that lives on forever for me, if just for the TRAINING montage!

A convict in prison.

Breaking stones (apparently India in the 1980’s or 90’s decided to show what was shown in Rambo – II – in the 70’s. Now THERE is a real pioneer – Stallone! Way ahead of his time, and continues to be!) .

Boom. Boom. Boom. The stones break.

Long day.

And at night, while the inmates are resting, the music POUNDS. The beat BEGINS.

And Sunny is seen knocking out pushups.

The next day, he’s seen eating a bare bones meal and then knocking out chins!

(admittedly not my favorite exercises, pull-ups being far superior, but still!)

(I’ve spoken about why in the advanced book on pull-ups)

And in the rain at that.

Brings back memories of yours truly doing just that, hehe.

And end of it all, he finishes off by doing a version of the farmer’s walk …

Truly inspirational are both the father – son duo – both down to earth – both a welcome break from the fake sissified men running around town these days!

Now, what does this have to do with YOU, you ask.

Well, this.

Yours truly might not have a clubbell for a hand.

Or a chest like “Dharam’s”

Or … you get the drfit. 😉

But I DO have my voice, and here speaketh the 2.5 kg voice, yet again.

GET the 0 Excuses Fitness System now my friend. Not only will it build supreme levels of health, strength, and fitness in no time flat, but you won’t even have to leave the house for it – or your bedroom, hehe.

Can’t beat that,me thinks.

So says the “dhai kilo ki awaz”, hehe.

Backed up by results and plenty of muscle too!

And thats that from me. Back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

This “farmer protest” going on in India against the new and MUCH NEEDED farming laws the Modi government seems to have passed a while ago has gripped the entire globe.

It’s become an issue now internationally with Canada (the PM) speaking up for it (apparently he felt the protests were not being tolerated and in a democracy … ).

(And yet, I hardly ever see the same PM condemn China that way. Hehe).

And it’s seeped in everywhere there are Indians. Citizens or not, seems not to matter. Heck, even the WWE wrestlers (those of Indian origin) seem to be supporting it.

And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, or say something that goes against the grain, but …

… WHOA! Wait a minute. I love it!

Because guess what.

That one voice of REASON is usually RIGHT, and which is why people don’t want to hear it.

I am NOT for the farmer’s agitations in this case.

Now, for background, NM has basically made it such that all farmers are free to sell their produce at whatever rate to whoever basically – which opens up a LEVEL playing field for INTERNATIONAL companies to come to India.

Somethign that should have been done in the 1980’s, but never was. Some protest or the other. Some BS or the other. Some government looking the other way.

In today’s India, supposed to be a “world power”, there is scarcity of water and power. The BASICS of life often go missing, and it’s “acknowledged”, but never taken care of.

People are “used to it” to the extent that when you say something about it, you hear angry voices of “thats how we are!”

true.

But is that how “we” or anyone WANTS TO BE?

I think not!

Even walking down the street to get a beer, somethign which in China is as easy as pie (anywhere, actually) is a chore in India.

And I am ALL for a free market as is being advocated. Let the fittest surive. Nanny statism which has been going on for so long does NOT work – the USSR is one prime example.

Basically what WAS happening is that the farmers would get a fixed “rate” for their produce no matter what happened to it later (whether it sold or not, anything else, was a different issue).

NOT how the free market operates, bro.

And apparently the middlemen that make life hell for everyone that actually LIVES in India (hint – the NRI’s tom tomming from a distance do NOT count – if you’re that patriotic – LIVE in the damn place for one and EXPERIENCE what goes on in the country on a daily basis!) used to offer the farmers loans etc on an informal basis as well, which I suspect is the real reason they’re that ticked off.

(Ever wonder why the “NRI’s” holla from a distance, but leave the country in the first place?Or anyone that can does? I dont blame them, but …. gotta call a spade a spade here, brah).

Sorry, guys.

But much as i DISLIKE the current Narendra Modi government, credit where it’s due.

And he’s done the right thing, or trying to on this one.

As he rightly said, the nation has to change with the times.

And Kangana Ranaut, a social media personality (and I believe a Bollywood superstar as well) has gone against the grain by NOT supporting the protests when all else in her industry are.

I’ve read a few of her tweets.

She’s pretty much of the “yours truly” (or “Trump truly) bent of mind .

Say it like it IS – unapolegetically and boldly.

Regardless of the backlash, and Ms. Ranaut seems to be getting a fair bit of it as of late on all fronts!

Now, I dont know what other Tweets etc she’s sent. As I’ve said, I dont even get on social media anymore (unless it’s to check out a certain “Melanie’s” posts hehe – more on that later) … and I am NOT in the LEAST BIT interested in celebs (like I’ve said before).

But sometimes, that sole voice of reason does matter, simply because it’s the RIGHT thing being said.

The SENSIBLE thing.

And Ranaut is right on this one.

Make no mistake – it takes NOTHING away from the multiple and massive failures of the current admin in India, but again – credit where the same is due!

Now, why do I bring this up here?

Well, because I FEEL the same way many a times when battling the “yoga shmoga” and “can’t workout without long hours and a gym and mirrors and spandex and machines” Bozonators.

Or, in life, when I tell people to FOLLOW their dreams, and actually DO it – notj ust talk!

(and preferably talk AFTER doing what they said they would).

Precious few take that advice.

And thats fine.

I’m happy to be the VOICE of reason amongst the madness, and someone that gives it to you straight, unabridged and UNAPOLEGETICALLY.

It’s why my customers buy from me.

It’s why people follow me.

And end of the day, it’s why YOU guys are there on my list – and for that, a huge thank you!

All for now – back soon!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – And no, I’m not going to change my opinion on this one, simply because the masses want me to.

PS #2 – HERE is where you can pick up the best damn fitness system ever!

As the Trumpinator would no doubt say himself!

Or as “Eric” (was that his nickname, hehe) or as I call him “Tyrone Eric Blanks, ChatMaster El Supremo” once had to say …

Conversation RULES the nation.

IT does!

Flashback to Training Day, that all time favorite movie of mine ..

Denzel is reading a newspaper, and the rookie cop (Ethan Hawke) is trying to interrupt up with some inane nonsense (but in his defense, he was scared shitless) …

Finally Denzel gives up on trying to ignore him.

Slams the paper down.

“You know why I read this”, he asked.

Ethan shrugs in a “what did I do now” sort of manner.

“THIS”, points Denzel at the old news paper.

“This is 90% bullshit. But its entertainment. Thats why I read it!” he said.

He went on.

“You won’t let me read it!”

“So YOU entertain ME with your bullshit!” goes Denzel.

Tell me a story, he goes! (actually, this was BEFORE the above and before Denzel went off on him about the news paper part, and he DID ended up telling Denzel a lame ass story – LOL)

Truly a classic that movie is!

And Denzel is one of the BEST EVER. Hehe.

Now, point of me bringing this up here?

Is that this is one reason (and it’s obvious, really, if you can read between the lines or even if you can’t) as to why yours truly trumps sales , and outsells all the other Bozos out ther ethat claim “you need to educate” in your emails.

Or the easily offended Mama Boys and Mamas themselves in many cases who go the “how dare you” say it route!

And yet, turn on the TEE VEE or dumbphone to find out just who said what in exactly that same manner on their latest soap opera, movie star BS, or what not.

Lets fact it.

No-one likes to be sold.

Least of all by a boring BOT.

You want a human being to talk to. A real person. Someone you can RELATE TO!

And fitness wise (and the key to making sales, by the way is mentioned right there, but amazingly enough, most reading this won’t “get it”) … you can accuse my programs of many things my friend.

My brother! Or sister, sistah, whatever, hehe.

They are TOUGH.

They get results, and QUICK.

They leave you with NO excuses NOT to do the thing – thang, hehe.

But what you cannot say is they’re boring.

The variety and the NUMBER of workouts and exercises I give you in just ONE of my books, and there are many, are enough to last you a lifetime!

And thats yet another reason I don’t pander to or cater to price shoppers …

But anyway, thats it for now. Lots of tips – see i fyou can find some “value” heheh.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Pushups are one of those exercises that truly DO give you MAX bung for your BUCK. Find out how to do ‘em right here – Pushup Central.

(It “came out” as bung. LOL again. And yours truly doesnt edit!)

(But really, you get the point. Grab the course right here).

One of the annoyances my mother brought up during our conversation yesterday in typical “bully boy Nazi feminist manner” was this.

“You made a mistake getting married!”

Now, in hindsight, and a few facts.

My mom pretty much hates everyone that doesnt fit her warped version of the “real world” (controlled by her).

Pretty much explains why in all her sixty years, she’s NEVER once had a friend – never worked a real job – never DONE the thing, but we went there already.

For reference, the above comment (and she hates my wife too obviously) was in reference to one o f the “cat and dog, at each other throats” fights my wife and me often have.

We’re an Italian couple. Yeah. I admit it!

But it’s not like either one backs down.

She was yelling about something I remember. When she shouldn’t be in my opinion.

So was I.

BLAH.

Ho hum.

Happens everywhere.

Except of course that isnt’ accounting for nuts out there who look for any excuses to pester others incessantly about “what they think they should be doing instead”.

“You need to back down”, went Mommy dearest.

I aint either. Never have, never will. Neither is my wife. And quite frankly, Mommy, it ain’t none of your business either!

And while this may sound juvenile to a T, truth is this sort of reality plays out all over the world daily.

And people when faced with this sort of unrelenting “pandered to negativity” usually give in.

Not yours truly, hehe.

And part of the reason she’s so frustrated (and so are the Bozos out there) is that not only am I doing my own thang and being happy with it, but she DOES NOT – I repeat – DOES NOT – know my next move.

Even when plan for months to trip me up, ultimately it’s them that gets tripped up.

That aside, divorce.

And an impending divorce is on the cards for my wife and yours truly. Will likely get real messy, but as Carol said years ago, “this should have been done years ago”.

And I plan on doing it very soon indeed.

Of course, funny part, none of the parties involved will actually read what I’m saying (or if they do, they will never acknowledge it) … so in that regard they’re hamstringing themselves anyway in terms of “one step ahead”.

Now, why do I bring this up?

Because according to Mommy dearest, its “ok for them to do, but not you”.

Um.

Sorry, but I disagree.

It’s OK for others to be “strong”, but not you. It’s OK for others to “do their own thang”, but not you.

Yada, nada, schnada. Been hearing that all my life, and it’s never made a lick of difference to what I ultimately and eventually ended up DOING.

I was even told to go (snicker) “counseling” once. Talk about preaching to the choir in terms of the subconscious mind, hehe.

I still remember the lady giggling at me.

“You dont need counseling”, she was giggling. And she was cute too, hehe.

(My Dad told me that, because I didnt “work a full time job”, and apparently counseling would make me do it, but even he and I could tell by the manner in which he said “just do it and get it over with ONCE” told me tomes. LOL is all I gotta say)

(I might not agree w/my Dad on most things, most notably his “happy wife happy life” dictum that he’s been (in vain I might add) trying to convince me of from the day I got married – – but when you cut right down to the chase, at least he minds his own biz and doesnt pester others. And he DOES have some very practical things to say which he has in the past …)

(it’s the “poke their noses” where it does NOT belong morons that I cannot stand). 

I dont dance to no-one’s tune, bro. Fitness wise, life wise, biz wise, any wise and ways.

And if fitness wise, what you are doing now is NOT working – then it’s time to ditch it.

Time to ditch the bros who keep telling you to NOT ditch it … it’ll be the best thing you ever do for yourself.

Trust me, the look on their faces when you stride into the gym “one fine day” and start pumping out handstand pushups galore one after the other will be PRICELESS.

Much like on dear Mom’s face if I ever did “dare” (how dare I, hehe) to call her a Chief Justice.

Then again, she wouldn’t understand the irony of it all, hehe.

Anyway, enough said. Life wise – fitness wise – if it ain’t working – DROP IT BRO.

Life is too short to do two things – carry a grudge – and live it the way you dont want to live it.

Rise – UP!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Here is where you can get on the best fitness system there is out there – the 0 Excuses Fitness System. Truly deliver results, and real ones, like NONE OTHERS OUT THERE!

I had the misfortune of having that “once a year” conversation with my mother yesterday.

And of course, and as predicted it didnt go well.

“Rahul is always wrong” went the mournful, “hang dog expression” nutter like chant (as if she was a Chief Justice on the Supreme Court or something).

Apparently because I don’t “work a job” and “sit at home” I haven’t done anything with my life.

HA!

And apparently this same woman whose NEVER WORKED a job in her WHOLE LIFE – NEVER EARNED A HONEST penny – or a penny at all – never done squat all other than be “pandered to” saw fit to start some stupid conversation about “you should be doing something esle with your life”.

Of course, it was all an indirect ploy to find out how much money I have in my account. Hehe.

And of course, to find out “what I do”.

I’ve often spoken about NOT telling people what you do – and just doing it first.

And I’ve been following this dictum for YEARS now.

Tell the world what you’re going to do, but SHOW them first.

Actually, I suspect my parents know what I do. Of course, it doesnt fit their requirements, so they’ve never approved.

And sneakily, I’m pretty sure they’re reading these posts as well, and finding every opportunity to pan me online … much like the Bozo is doing right now. Last I heard Scofield was running riot on Facebook, but he seemed to have missed the part about me not getting on social media any more.

LOL.

Whateva.

And this doesnt seem to be confined to me either.

Spoke to a friend the other day who has much the same relationship with his Mom.

Conversation started out cordial, and then she started going off about “them damn Chinese” (he’s with a chinese girl as of now).

He was into his fourth beer.

Didnt end well on either side. LOL again.

But it reminds me of my own mother when my wife was pregnant.

“Abort the child! You’re not fit to be parents”, she wailed up and down.

If there EVER was a prime match for Bozo Schofield and his antics, it is my mother. Sad, but true!

And more on a bald man giving advice to yours truly on how to grow hair.

Reminds me of the jackass that showed up when I was working out outside and doing pull-ups.

“You need to work your mind more!”

And then of course, when I started to get pissed off (without even knowing it) he took off like the WIND.

So quickly that it done surprised yours truly even!

Lesson to be learnt from all this?

First, and what I should have hammered home to my mom yesterday (not that it would have made an iota of difference).

DO the thing first before babbling on about topics you know NOTHING about.

And I’d say the same thing to the joke jobs who tell you that “pull-ups are worthless” because they secretly WANT to be able to do the same thing.

My mother is one of the MOST frustrated persons ever with her own life.

And she gets pandered to. Not by me, but …

And so, naturally, the whole world and everyone is wrong except those that fit her own warped standards of how life “should be”.

Um, newsflash, Mommy. I ain’t 5 no mo. LOL.

But fitness wise, same thing applies.

Don’t listen to the bozos (and believe me, they can be very “persuasive” – negative people often are!) that tell you, for instance, that Hindu squats are “useless” and do nothing for you and that the “iron is where it’s at” (without even TRYING the former option).

Or, the nutjobs that tell you slaving away at a ridiculous “low level monkey job” (because some Bozo thought thats all you were good for ie to make HIM money and not YOU) for the rest of your life is the thing to do for “stability and security”.

You have got ONE life, bro.

LIVE IT.

MAKE THE MOST OF IT!

Never back down on your desires to ANYONE, and IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!

Believe me, this approach isn’t easy, but it has paid some of the richest and best dividends for yours truly over his life.

And thats what I’d advise you to do as well.

And thats what the 0 Excuses faithful DOES on a daily basis with their health, strength, and fitness.

Is it any wonder they’re leaping over mountains, CONQUERING their goals, and breaking barriers daily while the rest of the world moans about pandemics and wearing mask?

I think not, my friend.

Get ont he train HERE.

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – And NO, I’m not going to be correcting “grammatical” mistakens in this here email. IT be-eth what it is.

PS #2 – Have you checked out the most recent reviews on Pushup Central? Do so right HERE.

PPS – For those new to this list, or those not int he know with this entire “sad story” (LOL) – most my regular customers know (and hey, thats a tip right there if you’re listening and paying attention) – yours truly “sits at home” , workouts, and thats what he plans on doing for the remainder of his days as well. In the midst of doing all this he finds time to travel. He finds time to do things that the so called “suits” at the office would never dream of doing, couldn’t do, and never WOULD do, because they’re too scared to do so.

He actually LIVES in certain countries as opposed to watching about it on inane soap operas all day long.

He LIVES LIFE.

He recommends you do too. Hehe.

YES!

Hear me out, please – fo rthose of you that are rushing to hit the delete button.

The “delete” button won’t run away (as I keep telling my daughter “Finish your food first! The dumbphone won’t grow legs and run away, hehe”).

Now, for those not accquainted with the cricket world, here is a bit of a tidbit.

Virat (or VEEEEErat depending upon how you pronounce it, hehe and the Aussies do it the best! ;)) Kohli, whose currently probably the best batter out there in the world took time off to “be with his wife for the birth of their newborn).

(His wife is a Bollywood actress, for those interested, and from what I gather a mighty successful person in her own right …)

(As for the “best batter in the world” tag – yes – I understand. Thats a contentious issue, and dependent upon OPINION to a degree. He’s got plenty of competition snapping at his heels – an Aussie named Steve Smith and a Kiwi named Kane Williamson for one … but NUMBERS WISE? FACTS wise? Gotta give it to Virat. Facts dont lie, bro – and as the republican senator I believe in Georgia recently said, neither do numbers”.

And the numbers Kohli has racked up over the years is mind boggling to say the least.

Easily an all time great (contentious I know, but hear me out).

So India is currently playing one of their toughest opponents in their backyard – the Aussies!

They lost the first series, despite Kohli being there. And playing well.

They won the first match of the second, despite the Virat not playing that well.

Says tomes doesnt it?

A great leader, or a great man (and lets face it, in his profession Virat IS Great) doesnt necessarily need to “do”.

He does, but his value extends way beyond that.

And he’s taking off pretty soon to be with his wife for his first child.

This brought mixed reactions.

Sunny Gavaskar, another INDIAN LEGEND – now he’s a TRUE LEGEND! – said that sort of thing didnt happen back in his day (i.e. boards didnt allow their players to go back for that sort of thing in general).

HE was there for the birth of his son, but that was more because he was injured (its a long story) and couldn’t play, and flew home at his own expense and got permission to do so …

Others have come out and said Kohli has done the right thing.

My thoughts?

Mixed.

First, there is NO feeling in the world to be there for the birth of your child.

I was there. And I can tell you, that little “wiggle biggle” (as I call my daughter, hehe) staring at you with those big eyes as soon as she (or he) is “out”?

Indescribable, and one of the moments in life you LIVE for.

So in that regard, I’m with Virat.

But really, what Sunny said, and the vibe behind it should be taken into consideration.

Now those were tough times – and they were real men!

Sunny Gavaskar for one facing up to the feared West Indian pace attack that would make people run away just by looking at them – let alone facing up (a tiny man in comparison by stature was Sunny) and having a hard, solid 8oz or so concussion causing, life ending (sadly, that has happened too!) cricket ball thrown at you on uncovered pitches for hours.

It wasn’t for nothing that they wrote songs about him in Calypso land!

That was when men had “hair on their chests”. Hehe.

Ian “Beefy Botham” for one.

Or that marauder Matthew Hayden … (though he was closer to this time than the above two).

Or “Boonie” who once famously drank 52 cans of lager on an Australia -England flight.

Am I saying any of that is “good or bad”?

NO, but it’s what men do by nature, bro!

And the current move towards “caring and nurturing men” is fine, but a lot of goes AGAINST the grain of what Nature intended.

It’s possible to be uber macho and yet care!

And if you’re playing for your country, and the team is DEPENDENT upon you – and in a big series, then personally although I can see Virat’s point and sort of agree, then you just man up and take it on the chin.

The last Indian captain was in the midst of a world cup when his son showed up, and he only knew it was a son (or he knew via text, I should say) two months later (I mean he SAW his son two months later I believe).

The current move towards sissification (and no I’m not saying Virat is that at all) is NOT one which I “admire”.

Goes against Nature. NOT what women want either!

Yours truly has been labeled “macho man” by many.

Rightly so.

Doubt you’d even have thought I changed diapers eh?

But it’s happened, hehe, and I still joke with my 7 year old about it.

Doubt you’d thought I’d ever “feed my daughter” eh.

But it happens on a regular basis when she’s with me!

And so forth.

It IS possible to be a real man and “care”.

But the current move towards sissified males and “beta” nutzos has me mystified.

And back to Virat, if you really look at what he public is thinking deep down inside, I believe you’ll understand that people yearn for the OLD DAYS NOW.

Deep down inside, fitness wise, you KNOW whats macho my friend. And what works!

Pull-ups, for one, make you feel like a REAL MAN (or woman).

Handstand pushups!

Bear crawls.  (truly WILL TURN YOU INTO and make you FEEL like an ANIMAL, a BEAST, a TRUE FORCE OF NATURE!)

The much ignored Hindu squat.

Getting back to basics.

And just buckling down and just doing it, regardless of anything else!

Men, my friend, REAL MEN were MEANT to be macho. Even if that means yours truly at the age of 5 trying to lift what he couldn’t, because “lifting is a man’s job”, hehe.

And being ridiculed for it, which I still am to an extent.

Jay, a friend of mine had this to say with a mixture of “admiration” and “pseudo scorn” upon looking at the 0 Excuses fitness page.

“I go to the gym, bro! But not like YOU WORKOUT! Macho man!”

Well, you should, my friend.

You should.

And there endeth this long ass “sermon” of sorts. Hehe. But I had to get that off my chest, and now I have!

Best,

Rahul Mookerjee

PS – Virat Kohli, by the way is a prime example of “just doing it”. He used to be one of the unfittest kids on the block until he “just did it”, and keeps on just doing it. Yes, teeth gnashers. I know. I know. How dare I say it. But it’s true, and it’s key behind greatness of any nature, shape or form in any field!

PS #2 – If you’re tired of feeling wimpy and run down all day long – CHANGE that. And do so via the TWO exercises mentioned above. HERE is the first course that will get you feeling great – and here is the second. BOTH WITHOUT COMPARISON! OR peer …

PPS – I think I made a new word up there, hehe. Can you spot it?

PPS #1 – I realize some of you might call me a “misygonist” (however the hell you spell that) or “male chauvinist” for stating the obvious and thats fine as well, but am I “wrong”? I dont think so, my friend! But yes, I’m glad to have that added on to the long list of names I’ve already been called, hehe.
