Don't Fall For The Acai Berry Scams...

I'm normally a very laid back and easy going guy, but I'm really Pissed Off right now after getting this e-mail the other day...

Lee,

I normally like what you have to say and I follow all your videos and stuff. But I saw your before and after picture on one of those side bar advertisements for some acai pill and another pill for the some muscle pump.

It claimed you went from your skinny before picture to the present picture of you in 8 weeks... Come on man that is a bunch of BS, why did you post that? Can't you be a little more honest?

No doubt if you have surfed the Internet at all over the last few months you have seen these stupid ads plastered everywhere. Usually with the headline: "How I got ripped in 4 weeks..."
or something along those lines.

Please Don't Fall For This Bull Sh!t...

When you see any of these ads in the future stay the hell away from them. As they are nothing but a bunch of low life scam artists out to make a quick buck.

Then they try to make it look real by posting up some bull sh!t story of a guy on a blog saying how he got in the best shape of his life by taking this acai berry crap. They'll follow up his story with a bunch of other fake posts, comments, before and after pics, etc. All trying to get you to buy their 14 day acai berry trial.

Just to let you know acai berry is nothing more then some over priced, over hyped fruit juice. In fact it has LESS anti-oxidants then the plain old apple or orange juice that you can pick up at the grocery store!

So to put things in perspective, you have a better chance of getting ripped and buff by drinking a glass of OJ then you do taking this acai berry (and OJ will cost you a lot less money too).

Now to make matters worse, not only is this whole acai stuff a huge scam to try and trick you out of your hard earned money, while these dishonest greedy SOB's are laughing all the way to the bank... With YOUR Money!

But they are illegally using pictures of people, like myself, and several other reputable fitness professionals, to advertise their websites. It's bad enough that they are selling a BS product, but to tarnish the image of honest people with their scam just makes my blood boil.

In fact the Better Business Bureau has already received "thousands" of complaints from consumers. And they have released a statement warning consumers to be wary of any website offering acai berry-related products.

Unfortunately, law enforcement officials have yet to catch up to these rogue operators because they operate in foreign countries. But when they do get caught, and it's only a matter of time, you can bet they are going to face some heavy fraud charges and hopefully some serious jail time as well.

So I just wanted to clarify that I DO NOT... I repeat DO NOT endorse any such supplements like acai berry! When you see any of these ads in the future stay the hell away from them. As they are nothing but a bunch of low life scam artists out to make a quick buck.

Looking for a Kick Ass Energy Booster?

Looking for a Kick Ass Energy Booster?

Hardly a day goes by that I don't get asked about ways to increase energy levels. People are always curious as to what foods they should eat and what supplements they should take to jack up their energy levels.

Everything from Nitric Oxide to Ginseng and Horny Goat Weed to Red-Bull and RockStar...

You name it people are looking for it and are willing to try it all. And yet the one thing that often gets ignored, but yet can improve your strength and energy levels better then any supplement or stimulant is sleep!

The benefits of getting adequate sleep are HUGE! Everything from speeding up your muscle recovery, increasing growth hormone levels, improving your athletic performance, improved heart function, cell repair, and the list goes on and on...

But one thing that may be of interest to you - is that sufficient sleep helps increase your motivation for exercise!

One of the biggest excuses people have for not following through with their workout routine consistently is being too tired to exercise. But one thing that you can do (and it costs nothing!) is simply taking a 20 minute power nap in the afternoon.

You will feel more alert and energetic afterwards, and once rested after your mid-afternoon nap, your mood, efficiency, and alertness level will improve greatly.

Scientists have proven that taking a 20-minute nap approximately eight hours after you have awaken will do more for your strength and stamina than sleeping in later in the morning.

Of course when you first come out of your afternoon nap, you will probably feel a bit groggy for about ten minutes, but once this dissipates, you will reap the rewards of being well rested, recharged, and ready to go for the rest of the day.

So if you are looking for a kick ass energy booster with no jittery side effects, just take a 20 minute power nap when you get home from work or school.

It's easy, it's proven effective, and it's FREE!

Can you gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?

Over the weekend I was chatting with professional strongman competitor Elliott Hulse. And I have to say, this guy knows his stuff when it comes to training to get brutally strong.

But that strength came at a cost of gaining a lot of excess bodyfat in the process. And Elliott admits that it was a huge mistake on his part letting himself go like that.

But I have a lot of respect for this guy because he swallowed his pride and exposed the truth for the world to see...

(It's not easy for a pro to confess he screwed up!)

Elliott went back to the drawing board and came up with a unique training strategy that combines strongman, bodybuilding, and bodyweight conditioning workouts to create the optimal training environment for rapidly building lean muscle while trimming off that excess pudge at the same time.

He just posted up a video explaining how the whole process works and I think you should check it out at:

http://www.LeanHybridMuscle.net

But I have to warn you, it does contain some pretty WEIRD and embarrassing moments. However, I think you'll be able to relate a bit to what these guys went through. I know I could.
