Get Stronger

Luis Carrillo

So I have fucked up my back by not stretching my back, doing posterior work but most importantly not being mobile, I sit too damn much on a computer and this is gonna mess me up even further if I never stop, so Fuck it! That Shit Ends Today!

I made  a 100 day challenge for myself that I have ignored, so lets bring it back, today is the start, this time I will just focus only the basics: Eat Right & Workout!

Seriously it is just that, the fact that I have been trying to change everything else to accommodate for this and wait for the moment where I wake up and say “today is the right day” is not gonna happen

Heck I woke up today at 5:30am because I go to work at 9am so am up, lets do something productive! I know I would have woken up hating life for having to go to work but you know what fuck it I am grateful I got  a job right now to support me financially, I gotta stop bitching and start making shit happen!

But that is the end of my rant today, my back is fucked up, I just came back from work (driving all day) and am not gonna make any excuses to not workout and am gonna fix my back somehow

I am way to Young to let my Back get Fucked Up Even More!

oh and I am 21 so WTF! shouldn’t I be mobile and feeling super awesome? Hell Yes I should!

I have been too soft in my life so time to Grow some Fucking Balls & Change my Life!

My Goal with this Blog is to Inspire you to Do Something With Your Body and Life, to inspire you to become a BEAST!

I will achieve that and you will too! you just gotta Stop thinking about the moment & Do the Damn Work!

I know I Will!

Here is the Workout I did Today:

Here is what I did:

1. Foam Roll + Warm Up + 10 Push Ups, 10 Pull Ups & 5 Chins
2. Deadlift 5×5 + Handstands 5×5 (Super Set)
3. Plate Clean & press (45pds) 5×5 + Front Squats (with 30 pd bag) 5×5 (Super Set)
4. Finish off with stretching

That’s it, simple & took less than 30 min

As you can see I am weak for my weights, I  don’t have smaller weights that I can “move my way up” and I Fucking love that!

It forces me to be creative and crank up lots of bodyweight throughout the day to get stronger! Physically & Mentally!

No Excuses, Lets get to Work!

Have You Had enough of your Shitty Life? What are You doing to Change it? Let me know in the comments!

Because I know What I Freaking Want!

I wanna, be a BEAST Living a Passionate Life doing What I Love, Which is Learning about Strength and Building the Online Shows I have been thinking about Starting for too damn Long already!

So Today I am challenging Myself for the Next 100 Days To Get Beastly Strong!

I have lived  a boring life long enough where I get exited to start and don’t do shit (just look at past posts I never followed trough) and on top of that I get mad and frustrated with people who act the same, when I am like them, the only difference is that I am aware of it, yet I keep doing it, so Fuck that I Have Had Enough!

Enough of me ranting, Here is My Challenge:

• FOR 30 DAYS TAKE COLD SHOWERS
  
• EAT PRIMAL/PALEO
• ONLY DRINK WATER
• FIX MY DAMN POSTURE  (Here are some Great Videos from one of my mentors: Elliott Hulse to help you See How I will test this: Vid1 – Vid2 – Vid3)
• MASTER MY BODYWEIGHT Here are the Fundamental Bodyweight Exercises to Master ( I Will Make a Guide For This Soon)
• FOAM ROLL WHATS TIGHT (Here is an Excellent Guide to Foam Rolling by Joe Hashey)
• SLEEP ENOUGH
• TRAIN UNDERGROUND STYLE : Zach Even-Esh is the Man who Inspired me To Stop Training for Looks and to Really Push Myself to Get Stronger and Develop a Tough Mindset With His Techniques of Using Odd Objects, Strongman Exercises, and Just Killing it Every Time! (Here is The Guide that Started it All For Me)

Here Is the Equipment I Currently Have: (All Basic Stuff)

• A Barbell
• 2 45 Pound Plates
• 2 70 Pound Dumbbells (& 2 10′s)
• A 30 Pound Punching Bag (Will Use as a Sand Bag)
• A Crappy Door Pull Up bar
• 2 Small Tires
• My Car
• A Mountain Bike

I Don’t Have Much Shit, but This is All I Need, Simple, Basic, But Powerful!

My Goal with this Challenge is To:

• Strengthen My Mind with the Cold Showers by Learning How to Relax in an Stressing Situation
• Fix my posture as I am currently hunched over which only screams out that I am not Self-Confident
• Re- Energize my Body With Real and Delicious Food
• Stop the Bullshit and Take Risks – I Surf the Internet too Damn Much Looking at Other People’s Success Stories about How they are Make Shit Happen, Well Enough, It’s Time for me to make Shit Happen!
• Become a Confident BadAss: By Changing my Posture I will be Feel Damn Energized and Confident, which will lead to Me to Developing an Unstoppable Mindset Ready To Achieve Anything!

Now Lets Just Fucking Do It!

If you are Like Me: Just another boring dude that just watches TV or surf the Internet Because You Want a Better Life: A Life Full of Passion where you Do what You love because you are: Strong, Confident, and Full of Energy THEN JOIN ME!

GET STRONGER!

Leave Your Weak Self Behind and Unleash the BEAST Within You!

Right now it is 30 min till midnight and as I am reflecting on my day I said “Holy Shit BORINGNESS!”

Seriously my day was not what I thought it was, or thought it was gonna be & I am realizing that most of my days are these shitty, that was a BIG Wake Up Call & a realization of how I have lied to myself

I decided to not start the 100 days today, but start them on Jan 1st, 2012

Why?

I need time to study myself a little bit more to be prepared on what actions I need to tackle daily

For one I just saw how much I have lied to myself: I think I drink enough water, eat enough, and am productive enough

Well I just slapped myself and saw the true reality

the Reality that I have only drank 3 bottles of water today, only ate twice, woke up late and have been consuming too much info on the computer and not taking action in my biz goals nor my fitness

Fuck Me!

Why am I sharing this?

Well besides the fact that I am gonna recommend that you do this immediately, I realized how careless we as humans are of how our days are, and when somebody asks you “how have you been?” most of us reply “pretty good” when in reality we don’t know how meaningless our days have been

The fact that I realized how Boring my days have been, and that I’ve been telling people I am doing good, is Pure ignorance on my part when I should be replying “I’ve been a useless and ignorant person wasting all my time, and just taking space in this beautiful world, contributing to being another useless soul in this life”

Fuck That!

And that thought might seem a bit extremist, but I don’t think it is

in fact I think it reflects most people’s lives, including mine at the moment

and now you might be thinking:

WTF did I write?

Simple Stuff Really,

• I write that I woke up at almost 12am (only because somebody texted me)
• How hunched over my posture is when sitting down and taking a shit
• How I ate 3 hours later after waking up (all because I had been on the computer absorbing information)
• How cookies and cheesecake made me feel after I ate them (Like shit if you are wondering)
• How I put on chap stick 3 times a day
• And how probably the most exiting thing in my day was that I cut my hair and used my iPhone as a mirror
• Those are the things I write, plus also how I felt when I woke up (Felt hungry, sick and back aching) and what sites I visited on the internet (LifeHacker.com was my Porn of Today)

This was a Big, BIG Wake Up Call to Step my Game Up & Do meaningful Shit!

So I am going to tell you to do the same as I did, because it can change your life

To Do’s:

1. Grab a notebook with enough paper & for the next 3 days write down your actions and feelings:
2. How you feel when you wake up, & the times you do these activities, what you eat, # of bottles of H2O you drink, how your posture is, and anything else you feel is necessary
3. the Goal is not to narrate your every second, but to see your daily habits and unproductive shit you participate in on a daily basis

Here is my actual notebook:

as you can see nothing pretty (orange circles are the times & next to them is what I did and how I felt)

Start this Tomorrow Morning, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

 I seriously mean that, when was the last time you really saw who you really are?

Would love to hear what type of Lies you discovered for yourself (drop them below)

• Muscular Imbalances
• Poor nutrition
• Limiting Beliefs and Emotions
• Not Breathing ( will expand on this on another post)

All these factors are what accumulate to making me feel:

• weaker
• be low in energy
• have unsatisfied sleep
• bad posture
• get sick easily
• have constant upset stomach
• be ignorant of myself and others

and a whole array of other problems which end up with me not being happy nor fulfilled to my fullest potential

I started this blog with the purpose of showing myself working out like a maniac, thinking that training like this will make me stronger and just feel tough

well it might, but only to a certain point, who knows I might get injured or ignore certain internal imbalances because of my ego who wants to show and perceive myself as a tough man that is willing o tackle any challenge and show that I am strong and tough

I am fully pursuing myself into developing this character of toughness and strength but the first step back and realize that I cannot become this if my body as a whole has broken parts and weak links

These weaknesses have to be addressed first then be strengthened in order to become a real beast

This is a little rant to express my foolishness, but also accept and forgive myself for not being fully mature and understanding of what I really wanted

I have changed my sites mission into: 100 Days to Get Stronger and Live a BadAss Life

Which i know is what I want to become, Although I am still unsure on what I define as a Beast and a BadAss, I know as my 100 day challenge is coming to a finish I will have matured and expanded my view on what strength really is and can formed an ideal picture of a Beast!

I will start these 100 days in Monday December 26th Saturday Jan 7th

Reason being is that I want to be fully prepared and just let go into what I know I need to do in order to become a Beast

In the mean time I will be studying, reading and becoming more aware onto what actions I will need to do in order to achieve my goal

One of the persons whom has had a big influence on me into having this realization is Elliot Hulse, he has made me reinforce to look at the body as a whole and strengthen it form within so that your strong inner being will manifest into powerful and functional muscle, enhanced performance, confidence and a whole array of factors that make you a Strong Beast, or the Strongest version of your Self as Elliot Calls it

This post is mainly a self reflection to accept and forgive my foolishness and proceed into becoming stronger in a Holistic way

For the next days I will be sharing what my muscular imbalances are and how I will attack them in order to fix them

There is no point in just launching into training like a beast if there is no foundation that will fortify and work with you to become stronger and help you get the body and life you want

Exited to show My weakness and Show you How I plan to Strengthen them

I Will Divide my Imbalances into 2 Posts, one mainly focusing on upper and the other on my lower body (although both are connected in many ways)

I want to say that this is a self experiment and you are more than welcome to follow along if you see fit, I am still learning about fixing myself and I always will, so if I can help you, or maybe you feel we share many of the same imbalances (most likely) then please follow along and Fix your Self Up too!

Talk Soon!

What imbalances do you suffer from? would love to see how I can help you!

I have reflected on this past year on how much progress I have made in my life and well I am not happy nor satisfied with the results

Although Progress has been made, in the Areas of Wealth, I have take a big toll Neglecting the other 3 Parts on my life that make me a Whole:

Health: I have formed imbalances, knots, and becomes Weak along with being Malnourished

Relationships: I have been selfish and ignorant to the people who want to be with me: My Friends, Parents and Family Members, and although they might be selfish and ignorant towards me, it is my responsibility to take the first step and fix this, and not blame the other party for not doing anything

Spirituality: I use to see this word before and just run away, I thought it meant Religion, and although some see it that way I don’t. Being spiritual is knowing who you are in the Inside, Having self conversations and looking at your true pure self and having the courage and power to change your energy flow and focus it on what You want to achieve to become the Strongest Version of Yourself

These 4 Parts of my Life need to be in constant building and always being strengthened, I have been reckless and foolish to think that I can fix all this myself when in reality there are so many people and education that want to help me in my mission t become a BEAST.

I already know who I want to become (at least at this moment)

I want to be a Warrior who travels the world to learn from the top Experts and Beasts on how to become Stronger Physically and Mentally

These is a bold statement and it is what my Body and Mind are asking of me to do: To Stop Being Weak and Get Stronger in all areas of my life

Now I already started this journey, but my ideas and energy was only focused on Getting Stronger Physically and neglecting my Mind and my Emotions.

So I am starting over with a new set of values and on a mission to inspire YOU to TAKE ACTION and pursue Strength to Become the BEAST you deserve to Be and Take full ownership of Your Life!

Fitness and a Clean Nutrition are what Will set the foundation and construct yourself into a Beast, Not only just a Strong and Powerful individual Physically but Mentally as well.

Develop the Mindset of a Warrior, a Hustler, A Non-Conformist, and a Confident Badass that goes to Construct their Dream Lifestyle because Once your Body and your Mind are in alignment you Will Be UNSTOPPABLE!

This is a Never Ending Journey for Strength, for Self Discovery, and for the Pursue of Happiness, To be able to look back in the later years and smile knowing that you have lived, loved, mattered and left a legacy in this World

Kill all those beliefs and excuses of yours that only make you weak and comfortable with mediocrity, that Bitch is Not You!

You My Friend are a Warrior, and Have an Energy Source Greater than you Can Image Withing You

Its Time for you to Unleash Your Beast and Become the Strongest Version of Your Self

The Question is, What Do you want and What are you Willing to Do?

To Tell you that by just working out and “eating better” will get you your dream life is Pure Bullshit…unless you are conformed with “Good Enough”

I am not conformed with good enough and neither should you, Greatness is the only thing that matters, Why be Conformed with being #2 if nobody remembers them?

To pursue to be number 1, does not mean to being ignorant and doing anything to just be ahead. NO…It means knowing that you have giving it your all, that you fought your way with sweat, with blood, with tears, pain, and misery, and that these hardship have only made you Stronger!

Time to Pursue Greatness!

Unleash the Beast Withing You and Get Stronger!

Tomorrow I will give my stats on how strong I am compared to my list of Exercises to Master and what I will do in order to pursue these goals int the next 100 days!

With that in mind here are the 4 lessons I have learned:

Lesson #1) Take advantage of momentum:

Once you start eating cleaner and regularly go trough the pain and misery that will make you stronger, you get momentum, you get to be on the state of flow, where everything is good and you are focused, use this state of mind to fuel you up…But when this flow happens there is always problems, which leads me to:

Lesson #2) Shit Happens when Things are in the Flow:

it is as if magically you are doing good and then suddenly the world is against you trying to not make you stop and go back to your old self.

You are eating clean, you are working out, and all of a sudden your favorite cookies appear on your face, you get invited to your favorite restaurant, you get invited with your friends to go party and do unproductive shit, now I am not saying that fun is bad (not at all) but when you are in the zone stay in the zone!  Don’t let temptations bring you back to your weak self!

This is the first test to see if you really want this, and if you are able to push trough and realize that you want this badly then you will overcome this!

The shit that I had to go trough these couple of days:

• My videos don’t want to play on my computer, and cannot edit them
• One of my big e-mail accounts got deleted (always have backups)
• I didn’t sleep to well due to working during the Holidays
• I have gotten my stress levels up because I need to pay some bills and I am broke right now
• and a couple of more shit, but this is a test I have to overcome and see how badly I want this

Had lots of excuses to not workout because I was busy at work, but common is that really an excuse? Body weight can be cranked up anywhere, and at anytime, so i have been spreading out reps throughout the day

Lesson #3) I don’t need a lot of shit to live :

I have been cleaning up and selling or giving away all the unnecessary crap I have and this i just freeing me up and getting my mind cleaner and more relaxed, plus I am doing this because I have big plans by next year (more on this later)

I am throwing it all of these away to pursue the enjoyment of life and getting to get to know myself a lot more and learn what my true values are

Lesson #4) Strength Training is more than just Working Out for Aesthetics:

its about building up your character and see what you really are made of, if you can withstand pain, misery and self doubt throughout your workouts then these battle you have fought with yourself will give you the power to confidently tackle any area of your life and develop the Beast inside of you!

Although these are common things that happen regularly, it is to you to decide how to tackle them and I have decided to use this experience to help me succeed in my journey

62 more days to go, and shit is gonna start to get ugly real soon!

 Join me and Unleash the Beast within You!

Moving tough I will be writing how my Day went trough:

So today I realized how much of a mess I live in

My room is full of unnecessary shit, and all this clutter everywhere only makes me more stressed

So I will be minimizing everything – my possessions, my work, my nutrition and my workouts
I will be eating very simple, just veggies and a lot of meat and fat, and will workout how I feel like training, either just let my body get creative and do its thing or I will be feeling like lifting heavy so i will tear some iron up, lift some rock,s push my car, or just lift whatever, the main thing will be to just push myself to the limit to test my mental toughness (more on this by next week)
So Today’s workout was just raw and unplanned

I did some foam rolling, and a quick warm up

then teared up pull ups, push ups, and finished it up with using my punching bag as a sand bag

So that’s it

One more thing I did take a cold shower in the morning, thanks to Caveman Klaus challenging me for the next 30 days!

This was not pleasant but I need to get comfortable being uncomfortable!

Stay tuned more craziness to come!

Had video editing problems, and some of the clips for some reason got deleted or corrupted when making the video, ohh well…

One think I want to emphasize here is CREATIVITY, just because you have no equipment, no weights, doesn’t mean you can’t workout…you got your 2 most useful tools to exercise: Your Body & your Mind

Let them both shine and get creative! No Excuses …

Now Go Get Stronger!

Luis Carrillo

Got to train with a tree and the playground, fun stuff…Here is the video:

Had some editing issues so video is not too great, and could not put all clips in it …anyway…

So here are the main things I need to get Stronger:

My Grip, My Core, Posterior Chain, Agility and my Endurance

So the “I don’t have a gym to workout excuse” is out of here, just go to the park and do your thing! – The fresh air and the environment of feeling like a kid again will make a big difference!

Whats your Excuse Now? (Ohh wait you don’t have one! )
