1. AGGRESSIVE STRENGTH QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"If you take something to be the absolute truth and cling to it to no avail, when the truth comes in person and knocks on your door, you will not open it."
- The Buddha

Dogmatism in any field or any aspect of your life is a sure fire way to stop growing. For example, many people think that you have to train to failure in order to get bigger and stronger while others think that training to failure should be avoided at all costs. Most likely the truth is in the middle somewhere. Keeping an open mind is a good thing and may prevent you from letting the truth float right by. Remember that once people thought that the world was flat and persecuted those that thought otherwise. Sometimes the truth is too hard to accept because it causes use to relinquish mental constructs that we have created and will do anything to uphold. After all, who wants to admit that they were wrong about something and let it go? Nevertheless, sometimes that is what it takes to grow.

Burn Fat Like Crazy With HOC (High Octane Cardio)

I have been getting a ton of email from people that have been using my HOC programs and getting in incredible shape. Fat loss from 15-30lbs is common and more importantly people are telling me that they find HOC really fun and challenging.

Recently, I had a guy email me and tell me that he smoked the SWAT entrance exams after using HOC to prepare. His conditioning went through the roof and he made it into SWAT without any glitches. Imagine what HOC can do for you?

With winter upon us many people have asked me what they can do to get an HOC workout indoors. There are several things that you can do. One, you could use jump roping or stationary bike riding as your cardio in between each ballistic set. Or you could do some killer bodyweight drills to ramp up the calorie burning. Try the following HOC circuit and let me know what you think:

Take one-minute breaks in between each bodyweight drill and each ballistic drill. As your conditioning improves, decrease the breaks gradually to thirty-second breaks in between each drill. If you have kettlebells, throw in some open-palm drills such as the open palm clean and push press. If you do not have kettlebells, dumbbells or even a sandbag will do. Get creative, have fun, and burn fat all winter.
