    Is the Fastlane only business?

    MINDSET 
    I think that's the dream for most...build a business that eventually generates enough passive income to allow you to do whatever you want whenever you want.

    If you want to be great at anything, medium effort usually leads to medium or mediocre results. I've had my best results with high intensity workouts, low volume, training each muscle group 2-3x a week on a minimum. So keeping workouts to the basics, 2-3 exercises that work per body part...

    Do you have any video benching? Bench press isn't the best exercise depending on mechanics for certain people with regard to pec growth. Dumbbell bench allows for a more natural range of motion since your hands aren't in a fixed position. If you can't activate your pecs I'd switch to db. If...

    Damn sorry to hear all of this, it really sounds like you have been faced with some unfortunate circumstances. At this point, losing some weight is your priority and I can't reiterate enough that it is going to have to come through diet. What I advised earlier with fitday, will work. You can't...

    Never paid for a lead before. Best tool is findyourtrainer.com but hasn't helped me much. They take a commission so 20% of what the client pays and they want the client to pay through the site. I can get you actual percentages later if I go over my books. My conversion and stick rate is high...

    I have a NASM certification and worked at equinox for a year taking their training classes which were pretty thorough, although it didn't teach me much about programming since my training level was more advanced than the instructor, and was a lot of redundant stuff. They hire people without...

    What exercises are you doing? It's pretty common to have knee pain if the joint is suffering from instability due to imbalanced musculature (weak inflexible hamstrings and dominant quads in a lot of gym goers). Anyways leg presses, Id start with the sled alone and never go below 15 reps at this...

    What does the Doctor say about resistance training and what are your exact injuries? I am not a doctor or physical therapists, but know a lot and have helped people with rehabilitation so I may be able to give some more specific advice or can lead you on the right path. That said I always...

    Hey man thanks and I'd be happy to answer. -My biggest challenge is finding the right clients. The right clients are people who train consistently with you for years on end. They need to fit a certain criteria, (enough disposable income to spend $600+ per month), busy lifestyle that usually...

    You may not like this answer as it is very general, but will work. Consistency is key for results. If I were you, I'd weigh myself two times per week, once on Sunday's and once on Wednesday's. Record current activity level throughout the week. For two weeks I'd log all food eaten on...

    Taking chances and pushing your limit

    PEOPLE 
    Be confident, not needy. I do not think there is anything wrong with allowing a girl to know you are attracted to her, just have a life outside of her, don't make her your life right off the bat.

    I've been a lot more active on the boards recently and truly didn't realize what a wealth of information and people we have over here. I am also in a transitional phase where I am doing a lot of remodeling of my current business. I am 24 and will be 25 on the 28th of this month. I have 1 year of...

    Taking chances and pushing your limit

    PEOPLE 
    When you think of women as equals it's a lot easier. They're people just like you and me. It's when you put them on some pedestal as if they're out of reach is when you don't act like yourself, and in turn you come off needy to them, which nobody likes someone who is too needy. This works in...

    How to get over your ex

    PEOPLE 
    This is hard to explain (kinda gotta be in the place to understand), but I don't think you'll be happy with someone if you need them, it's when you don't need them that you two can be happy because then you can be yourself. If someone doesn't like you for who you are, I'd have 0 problem showing...

    I think that's pretty damn cool. Ask and you shall receive, the worst thing that can happen is that someone will say no; don't ask and the answer is always no. That has single handedly been the practice that has helped me most in life.

    This is getting me thinking a little bit more. I don't have a single package that costs under $1000, but can definitely appeal more by putting the hourly rates to make it less intimidating. I also offer more on my website than competitors and a plan with a full money back guarantee which is...
