7) Have FUN! Don't cause me any stress over this contest – Just have fun and look to break your records.

So How'd You Do 12?

I've been thinking about this.  If I haven't done overhand pullups in years, how'd I bust out 12?  (it kinda surprised me)

First thing is – I do underhand pullups.

Second thing is – I've been doing bent over rows with the 52lb kettlebell.

I always say a workout needs a push, a pull, a squat and a deadlift.  So I get my pulls in.  I just hadn't done this specific pull in a while, but I've been getting my pulling movements in.

Which is one of those things: If you work out at home and you don't have a pullup bar, just do more bent over rows.  Or get a Lifeline USA "Jungle Gym" and do body rows.  Just do a big pulling movement somehow.

What I'm Giving Away:

There will be one female and one male winner. 

If you win, you'll get both my books for free – The Stubborn Seven Pounds AND Fighter Workouts for Fat Loss (women's or men's, depending on which you are)

If you already have both my books, I'll design a 12 week workout program for you.

And feel free to re-post your video to Mike and Zach's videos, 'cause they're giving away different prizes.  If you're going for it, you might as well try to win 'em all!

Here are the guys I know that are in the game:  Mike "Naked Nutrition" Roussell, Zach "Underground Strength Coach" Evan-Esch, and Scott "The Ab Expert" Colby are doing.  They're all great dudes and awesome sources of fitness wisdom, and you should totally check out their blogs also.  I met Scott and Zach, I think, at the Ryan Lee Bootcamp two years ago, and then I met Mike, in person, for the first time at this year's Ryan Lee Bootcamp.  All really cool guys.
