Targeted Muscle Building and Fat Burning Systems for the Perfect Physique
It’s been a while since I’ve updated some pics.
I took these at the gym today, they aren’t great, but L wasn’t around to take them with the regular camera. I’ve got about 5 more lbs I want to drop.
Stats on these pics:
Height: 5′ 11″
Shoulders: 51″
Waist: 32.5″
Weight: 178.5
Arms: 16″
Calves: 16″
This is also in a pretty low cal state so I may end up having bigger measurements once I get to 172 ish and back to normal eating.

’tis Thanksgiving here in ‘ole North Carolina and I’m getting ready to jump in the car with the woman and head out to my uncle’s house for some good ‘ole turkey, ham, and collard greens.
Mmmmm…
But first, I wanted to express my sincerest “Thanks” on behalf of all of us to you at the beginning of this holiday season.
You see, you may think it funny, but we all consider you a friend and we want the best for you… and if you ever catch us at a bar or restaurant in your area…
(I’m in Atlanta next week BTW)
… we’ll most certainly buy you a drink.
So, in saying that, let me tell you the most asked question we generally get during the holiday season.
“How do I stick to my diet/eating program during the holiday season?”
I can’t tell you how many men and women crumble during this time.
They fall off the horse. Get discouraged.
QUIT.
Remember, as we’ve said in the podcasts, diet and nutrition “stick” is 80-90% social awareness. It’s the social situations that you’re in… friends, family, work, etc… that largely contribute to your success or failure of sticking to your plan.
So what do you do during the holidays… when all of the good food is around?
Well, you have 2 choices:
One… be a “man of steel” and challenge the very existence of your will power (and belief power), control your portions heavily, deny yourself the goodness that Thanksgiving and Christmas offer
(Mmmm… eggnog)
Or two… plan for it.
Here’s the deal.
Typically, your holidays likely have anywhere from 2-8 “meals” that you’re gonna be tempted to overindulge.
And this includes holiday parties and stuff like that.
So why don’t you plan on it? Build your diet and eating AROUND these events to keep you on track.
Too many people get discouraged and jump off the horse, beat themselves up, and QUIT due to overeating or drinking during
the holidays…
… because it’s TOO HARD to resist.
BUT… BUT… BUT…
If you PLAN for these things… guess what?
THEY ARE A PART OF YOUR PLAN!
You just know that the next day, you just have to eat less than you normally do during your diet.
Sounds so simple doesn’t it?
IT IS!
Don’t beat yourself up over the holidays.
Don’t look like the weird guy.
Don’t be antisocial.
BE PROACTIVE and plan these things in.
If you want a great resource to help you and give you the added knowledge and CONFIDENCE in this type of planning, just check out Pilon’s Eat Stop Eat.
I hope you’re having an awesome weekend so far.
It’s funny, I was just chatting with a guy named John on Facebook about the podcasts and how he likened it to us being like “Morpheus”…
“Take the Blue Pill… and life goes on, and you know no difference…”
“However, take the Red Pill, and I’ll show you just HOW deep the rabbit hole goes”
(and it helps that I actually saw “The Matrix” the other day as well)
In fact, during the chat, John actually made the comment of how he wondered how Barban and Pilon couldn’t be SCARED FOR THEIR LIVES due to the exposing and uncovering that we’ve been doing.
We’ve been giving you the red pill.
And if you’ve been listening and paying attention, your life will never be the same… which is a good thing.
BUT… you haven’t seen ANYTHING YET!
If you think some of the other podcasts have blown the doors off of what you THOUGHT was right about muscle building and fat loss…
… Monday’s podcast is a MUST.
If the other podcasts are like dynamite:
THIS ONE IS LIKE AN ATOMIC BOMB!
Why?
Simple.
You’re about to WATCH (video) us as we totally deconstruct and pick apart the LANDMARK STUDY that “proves” interval training is better than steady state cardio…
… and the end result…
… is SHOCKING, hell – I was even in awe.
Seriously, all joking aside.
Look, if something has MY jaw dropping (and I’ve been in this industry for over 10 years), you’ve got to imagine how crazy it’s going to be.
If the others were ONE red pill, this will be TEN.
But this is just the start.
The rabbit hole gets deep.
We’ve got MORE.
I’ve got 2 reports coming to you in the near future. One on Thursday.
One the week after.
They’re different – it’s more red pills.
And your life will never be the same.
Stay cool,
Brad
p.s. Yesterday’s podcast with John Alanis on “How To Get Women To Chase You” and “Personal Authority” is awesome.
If you haven’t listened in, the link above is where you do it.
p.p.s. If you like this interview, he’s got a few free reports you can check out on his site.
Highly recommended.
I can’t believe it’s taken us 2 days to figure out what was wrong with yesterday’s podcast…
… and why it wouldn’t play on the site.
Nevertheless, we’ve got it fixed (it was all my fault… lol) and the Alex Allman Interview is up, ready to be streamed to you.
Now, as you know… Alex is the guy with the near perfect AI and speaks on stage quite a bit with David DeAngelo and others
and is ALSO one of my closest confidants.
So, if you didn’t get a chance to listen in, make sure you do so because he drops some killer bombs for you.
Now, on another note, we’ve been loading a whole gaggle of videos up on the Adonis fan page.
We’ve got workout videos as well as a few videos with John explaining some of the biggest questions we get in the customer forums…
… like this one:
Creatine Questions And Answers
We add more and more every day, so make sure you so check us out and friend us up so you’ll get all the updates for all the new videos.
Again, I apologize for yesterday’s troubles, but hopefully, the killer stuff you’re getting from us will make up for it. 🙂
Have an awesome weekend.
Stay cool,
Brad
Hey, do you remember that post I put out yesterday on “The Return Of The High Gravity Male?”
Well, let me tell you what happened to me earlier today to illustrate why all of this is important to you.
You see, earlier today I was on Facebook checking messages when a chat box pops up from a woman that I really don’t know.
Now, on its own, that’s no big deal as I get random friend requests all the time from people that follow me over on Twitter… so that’s nothing new.
And, if I’ve got a little time, I’ll generally chat with people for a little bit just to be social and get to know others because, quite frankly, you just never know when a person could be a valuable contact.
But today was different.
Today, the woman… who I’ve never chatted with my whole life tells me how she’s in trouble.
How she’s just been robbed at gunpoint over in London and she has no way to cover her hotel bill OR get to the airport to get home as the thief took her purse.
And she’s all despondent and in need of a hand.
About 850 bucks worth of a hand.
And she keeps promising she’ll pay me back.
(Oh, and she wants me to send the money Western Union)
Now, let me tell you what I did.
First, I clicked over to her profile to try to get a feel for who this person is, after all, I need to know if I’ll get my money back, right?
Well, I find out she’s engaged (weird that she’s asking me for dough, and not him) and that there is NOTHING on her profile about her that I can see.
No decent pics showing her with other people (social proof), no interaction with her by others… virtually NO way for me to be able to tell… get this… IF THIS WAS EVEN A REAL PERSON OR NOT!
Trustworthy – heck, I didn’t even know if she was REAL or if it was a scam at this point.
And it SUCKS that I had to think that way because I KNOW that crap happens to people and that they need a hand…
… and even though I wanted to believe that this person really needed my help, my head told me something different…
… so I didn’t help.
Because this woman had no gravity with me.
NONE
You see, and it really hit me today.
You have to ask yourself, if I was in a spot, how fast could I get 1000 bucks up? 10,000 bucks?
Could you make a call and 5 minutes later have it in your hand? Could you get it taken care of on gravity “credit” or even ‘payback’?
Would people ask you questions or just be like: “No problem, just get me back when you can”
Because it’s GONNA happen to you at one point.
So you gotta be prepared.
On, another note, John’s got a cool post coming tomorrow and we’re recording the “How Much Food To Build Muscle” podcast tomorrow as well… it will be up Monday.
p.s. Even though it may not seem so, how you look can make a difference in every 1st impression you have. Think about it, people either HAVE to deal with you or WANT to deal with you.
Help them, help you. Pick up Adonis today. Only $4.95 to test out our systems.
I hope your week is going well. We’re changing up a lot of things here with the Adonis Effect and Adonis Lifestyle as a whole so expect more and more content to hit this blog over the next few weeks.
(We’ve also got an emergency teleseminar planned for next Wednesday on “How Much Food Does It Take To Build Muscle” as well… more on that later)
But for now…
… so I finally broke down and rented “The Watchmen” on the ‘ole box the other day… mainly because I was interested in this blue dude that they kept showing in the commercials.
If you’re not familiar with the movie, basically, there’s this guy that gets zapped by nuclear rays and ends up turning into this all powerful being named “Dr. Manhattan” (kinda similiar to the Incredible Hulk in a way).
But that’s not what really interested me. Actually, not even close.
You see, this character in the movie is RIPPED.
And apparently, when creating the character for the movie (who is supposed to be a perfect being so to say), they actually thought of using the Vitruvian Man as the model… but ended up using body shots from a guy that does a lot of commercial modeling and has an awesome AI himself.
Of course, the Vitruvian Man is solely based on a perfect Adonis Index as well as other “perfect” Golden ratio relationships.
Interesting, huh?
Anyway, I have my new role model/bodyshape that I’m aiming for… and you’re looking at it above… lol.
(Oh, and for the record, I need to get more pics up showing the changes from my last Facebook “photo” shoot. My AI has increased since then because my waist has decreased quite a bit.)
What do you think?
