Hey teamRIPPED!
What would another month be without another winner in the Beachbody Challenge! Special congrats to our own Mark M. who has absolutely crushed it. See for yourself =
Dude, you are SHREDDED! And I know from our challenge groups like the X2 Crew how hard you have worked to earn this. Way to go!
I’ve had a total blast this week going through the brand new Asylum Volume 2 workouts. This program is killer! I’m going to do a full review of all 7 workouts at the beginning of next week, but from what I’ve done so far (which is 5 of the workouts and the instructional DVD) I have already learned a lot. There is a lot of core work with A2, and a lot more resistance training than there was in Asylum 1. I really like that since my biggest fear from Insanity and Asylum 1 was the lack of resistance training. This one definitely takes care of that with days like Upper Elite (featuring tons of dumbbell work and pushup moves), Back and 6-Pack (which has multiple pullup bar sequences), and a killer Power Legs day (OUCH!!).
Those of you who want to get on board for some hard core motivation and accountability with Asylum Volume 2, come join the teamRIPPED Asylum CRAZIES!! on facebook. You’ll have to request to join, as it’s a closed group, so only come join us if you are serious about getting CRAZY shredded!! You can join us if you are doing either Asylum 1 or Asylum 2. Here’s the link = teamRIPPED ASYLUM CRAZIES ON FB!!
And if you don’t remember what the Asylum CRAZIES are all about, let me remind you what happened when we tackled Asylum Volume 1 last year and became LEGENDS!!! =
And since the hype about Asylum 2 is so high right now, I have decided that I simply can’t resist doing the whole program along with all the CRAZIES! And that means that I will hold off for now on running an Ultimate Reset Challenge. I am now thinking that I will do that at the start of the New Year for anyone that is interested in joining me. I know several of you have contacted me expressing your interest, so I haven’t forgotten about you. I’ll keep you posted as January approaches to set up an Ultimate Reset Challenge group.
I apologize for the site being shut down yesterday evening and overnight. Gotta love GoDaddy …. NOT! I’ve had several issues with their service over the past, but this one was the straw that broke the camel’s back. They shut me down on purpose, and what was the reason? They received a complaint that there was copyrighted material on my site. But the kicker is that the alleged copyright material wasn’t anything I posted! It was a 2 sentence comment left on one of my articles by a visitor, and it was over 2 years ago on a thread that isn’t even linked anymore! This visitor to my site had apparently copy/pasted a couple sentences about the difference between “catabolic” and “anabolic”, and the owner of the site he copied it from stumbled upon it and contacted GoDaddy. And instead of anyone notifying me (either they dude who claims he was copied by my visitor, or GoDaddy once they received the complaint), they simply shut my site down until I provided proof I did nothing wrong. According to the GoDaddy rep (yes he literally said this), GoDaddy is more concerned with covering their you-know-what than putting the effort into evaluating the claim and giving me time to address any alleged violation. I’d tell you how irritated and infuriated this has made me, but it would be an understatement! So let me at least shout from the rooftops to all who will listen — DON’T USE GODADDY!
Rant over :-). Keep up the great work gang! And remember that the teamRIPPED website will continue to be the place you can come for tips, advice, motivation, and support …. and I hope to seamlessly move to another hosting company before tomorrow :-).
And 2 favors that I ask:
1) If you like the hard work I put into writing my articles and videos, PLEASE help me out by sharing them. Click the share links below them and share them on FB, twitter, etc. It really helps me get more exposure and grow teamRIPPED!
2) Also, as always, remember that the way I benefit from being your coach is that I earn a commission from any Beachbody products that you purchase, as long as you buy them through my site, www.teamRIPPED.com, or by logging in to www.teambeachbody.com to do your shopping (If you buy from the plain beachbody site I get no credit). It helps with the amount of time I spend answering all your questions and helping you out. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
Keep bringing it and inspiring others to do the same gang!!
