I had my horizons expanded after spending the weekend in Orlando with a great group of successful fitness business owners this month. One of the companies that the majority of them are associated with is Advocare. My friend, Brad Linder, put me in touch with Advocare and talked me into signing up as a distributor.
I did some research before signing up with Advocare as I don't want to be attached to something that turns out to be crap. I was pretty happy with everything that I found. The products are clean, tested and studied pretty intensely. I also liked the fact that they are a Texas based company.
After talking it over with Brad, I decided to try the 24 Day Challenge as my own testing program. I began it on June 25th. I did a weigh in and body fat test to have numbers to monitor. My body weight on day one was 181.2lbs and the body fat reading was 18.4%. I am sure that the BF was not accurate, but it will give me a trend of up or down.
It is day 2 of the 10 day cleanse. It is a simple process of drinking a shake in the morning, eating sensibly in the evening and taking Omega 3's and an herbal cleanse packet at night. Maybe it is the placebo effect this early, but I feel preety good. My eating was already clean, but this really pushes me to clean it up even more as I follow the directions. I am going to pick up the recommended add-ons of Catalyst and an additional meal replacement shake.I am finding that I need the extra shake since I am currently training up to 6 hours a day with the kids programs. Catalyst is a branch chain amino acid that will help maintain the lean muscle that I already have as I lose fat.
I figure that I can give it a run and document the results.

No Apologies
There has been a lot of awesome things going on at our little house of strength, so I cannot apologize for the lack of postings. That should change now as I have more time in the day to work and write. We have exploded in our classes as more people find us. They find us, because we actually have results. If you are up for a challenge, please contact us.
I recently had the incredible opportunity to spend a lot of time with Dan John at a conference. In my opinion he is one of the best minds out there in the world of training. Having listened to him and talked with him in the past, I know what to expect this time. However, there were about 65 people in the room that had never been exposed to him. You could see the light bulbs coming on. He has the ability to make the "confusing" simple to understand. If you are training with us, you already follow a lot of what he teaches. I just don't tell everyone the reasons behind it all of the time.
However, everyone knows where the "Bulgarian Goat Bag Swing" came from. Another incredible tool in the arsenal to show people how to be better. I have been using it on myself as an experiment, as well as the classes, and cannot believe how much it cleans up your swing. I will not go into detail on it, but go to Dan John's site for more info.
We will be announcing some things pretty quickly. We have added a couple of product lines, including done for you meals that are delivered to your door. That will be put out there in the next few days.
