    2019 Fastlane Summit - Announcement

    MEETUPS 
    I'm definitely a part of the problem in this case. I feel a lot like how WJS does (judging by his post above), but I hold myself back because of fear of things like student loan debt. I'll become a part of the solution now.

    NBA Playoffs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They are fantastic! Especially with the Cavs actually having a tough matchup in the first round. Teams just feel deeper this year. And the Warriors are not a 100% guarantee to win the title IMO (though I do think only the Rockets can really battle with them).

    The Official 2018 Fastlane Summit Event Thread

    MEETUPS 
    As someone who didn't attend the summit, you can just FEEL a different vibe around these forums ever since it happened. There seems to be more action-taking, and accountability being set up. And transparency. It's pretty cool to see how something so valuable can be created, that it leaves it's...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    So, the "macros" question comes up a lot, and it's good that you are tracking. The thing is, I'd have to know more about you. - Height & Weight, Age - Activity Levels Etc In general, a good recommendation is to just start with a balance of 40/30/30 P/C/F. The industry pulls in so many...

    Is Anyone Else Intermittent Fasting?

    NOTABLE! 
    As a Personal Trainer, I always try to keep an open mind and try new things... but I don't think I can go from IF. I love it. I do the a 16:8 fast, and just always feel great. I've also tried a combination of both before. In fact, I've done it twice. The first time, I got in GREAT shape. I...

    Next MJ DeMarco book?

    BOOKS 
    So if you like the books that much, then you should love following the advice that’s given in them :) that’s lifelong learning from him then.

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I personally think landing is the most terrifying part! I feel like I always see the wheels bump off the ground and imagine the worst.

    Anyone here who fears flying in planes (due to turbulence)?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Flying - or, more accurately, falling from heights - is one of my biggest fears. I actually studied this for a bit after a flight I had recently that had very scary turbulence. 1. No plane has EVER gone down from turbulence. The testing they do on these things is so much stronger than you’ll...

    Is it possible to gain weight / mass with just US$50 per month?

    HEALTH 
    Yep, Rippetoe definitely doesn't care for aesthetics. I will say that Starting Strength is a well-respected book for understanding how to perform the big lifts. He breaks it down for complete beginners, and it can help them feel more at ease when they perform them (instead of being scared of...

    Is it possible to gain weight / mass with just US$50 per month?

    HEALTH 
    :rofl: Starting Strength or GOMAD? I can confirm (not from personal experience, thank god) that if you stick with SS there is a chance you will look like a Centaur... BUT you'd be pretty strong!

    Is it possible to gain weight / mass with just US$50 per month?

    HEALTH 
    I did this for a while, and while it did feel great to have my numbers rise so fast in the lifts, it won't be sustainable if you care at all about your body composition. Rippetoe is not one that focuses on aesthetics, so if you do, you should probably find other sources to pull information from.

    Are Some Big Problems Unsolvable?

    That was a great read! Some of this really did surprise me, especially challenging e-mail. Shows that my mindset needs to continue to grow. This is incredible! And really helped me to see what these "big problem" solutions actually look like in action.

    Are Some Big Problems Unsolvable?

    I know this digs into the idea of “purpose” a bit, but it’s just something that’s been on my mind today. What about those problems that you hear about every day, such as animal abuse, cancer, certain diseases, etc. These problems obviously take a huge emotional toll on everyone involved, but...

    Eskil's Mentoring to Accelerate Your Growth

    MARKETPLACE 
    So I've been doing this program with Eskil for a few months now, and the results have been great. He's helped me overcome so many roadblocks and make the process so much easier than I ever thought it would be. Being a beginner, it can be overwhelming. I'd say the biggest benefit I've gotten...

    19 Crimes Talking Wine

    I saw this yesterday.. it's genius! Everyone else in the room was in awe, and that's when I started breaking it down in my head about WHY it's working. It's such a small detail that people will love. They killed it

    Best amazon course?

    Just because you have to pay, doesn't mean that it will contain information you won't find anywhere else. The best way to get from where you are, to where you want to go, is to study the work of those who have already done it, and then implement.

    MEETUPS 
    REALLY hoping this happens, because I will find a way to attend this! Is this anything a Personal Trainer could help with, MJ? If so, I'd love to send you any resources or materials that could help.

    Watched it last night because of this thread. I was hooked, pretty good movie. My biggest lessons (all of which have already been mentioned): 1. Cutting out the fat: Before Ray even came into the picture, the brothers had already created something remarkable. They had the guts to cut out all...
