I’m here today with the Son of Grok discussing the process of going Primal. He went from being a smoker, heavy drinker, and nearly 250 pounds to 186 pounds with perfect cholesterol levels and newfound ability to handle stress with ease. He loves the food that he is eating, the workouts he is performing, and his set of rock hard abs straight out of the Stone Age. |

#1 – Giving In By Adema
This video is perfect. I know I would not want to look like former Mr. Olympia Ronnie Coleman but I can definitely feed off his dedication, intensity, and relentlessness in the weight room. Giving In is the all around perfect workout song. I have done entire workouts with this guy by just hitting the back button on my shuffle eleven times. Best Used For Any Type of Intense Lifting.
Update: Those Corporate Fat Cats made Youtube take down the Ron Coleman Video. Here is the music video instead – Still Excellent.

Albert was on to something. My first seven fitness blunders were pretty good but here’s six more ways I was able to flub things up in the gym…
| No Goals – I always wanted to ‘Get Big’ in high school but my senior year rolled by and I wasn’t where I wanted to be with my muscle size. I loved lifting weights but I never had any specific strength targets or size measurements.

| My passion for health and fitness was ignited with a trip to the doctor’s office. I was so intrigued by the Men’s Health magazine they had in the waiting room that I came back after my appointment to finish the rest of it. Later that week I went to the library and checked out every back issue of Men’s Health that they had on the shelves, about five years worth, it was glorious. Over the next month I bombarded myself with all the weight training books and fitness publications I could get my hands on. Whenever I was seen doing a new move in the gym or talking about fitness one of my friends was quick to jest with a “Where’d you learn that? Men’s Health?” Chances were I actually had. |  |
