I’ve had clients in the past tell me they wanted to lose an “x” amount of pounds in one month.
Why the one month?
“I just want it done quickly.”
This is understandable... I have been there. But I've always had bad experiences and problems with fitness goals like this.
They’re always outcome-based. High expectations with a probability that they might not be achieved or accomplished.
Things like “I need to drop 15lbs for my wedding in 2 weeks” are always things that people desire for just a specific moment in their life.
This is one of the reasons why I believe people fail.
We expect so much with our goals, but we don't have systems or processes to get to them.
We need to go beyond this with the formulation with the acceptance of a lifestyle change… and of what I like to call Badass Goals.
If we look at successful entrepreneurs, we see a common process in action. Whatever they did to achieve $1 million in revenue can be replicated again and again to generate $2 million & $3 million (more effectively).
You can do this same exact thing with fitness goals.If we can drop 20lbs and know the exact process we used to get there, we can refine it (if needed), and repeat the process successfully.
So this is why I prefer to start with the question:What is your reason, your purpose, to changing your lifestyle through exercise or nutrition?
Your fitness goal should ultimately be built upon by the blueprint: a desire to change your lifestyle.
What has always worked for me is breaking down my goals with processes.
Each goal must have a system or a process to utilize in order to successfully reach your goals.
Our Badass Goals are a combination of BOTH Outcome Goals and Process Goals.
An Outcome Goal is the desired end-goal. We aren't in control of these goals.
A Process Goal is the process you will use to achieve your desired goal. We are in control of these goals because they are a systematic approach to your goals.
Outcome Goal + Process Goal = Badass Goal
The Badass Goal will get you to the destination. An Outcome Goal is just the finish line. Some of us create goals with a desire to reach the finish line… but we never create the systems or processes to get to that finish line.
Here’s an example of a Badass Goal: “I want to feel healthier and happier. To do this I need to lose body fat and eat better. My goal is to lose 10lbs over the course of ___ weeks. I will do this by attempting to lose 1% of body weight per week. This should be easy if I diet on _____ calories… etc)
As you can see from this, you need to focus on the process.
If you’re dropping 1% of weight per week, that’s DAMN GOOD progress. You’re more inclined to complete your diet this way for adherence reasons: your diet isn’t miserable, it’s manageable.
When you breakdown your goals in this way, things get more visible to achieve. You will create contingency plans if they don’t work.
You can divide your goal up into segments like this:
This is only an example. However, if you break down every goal into little pieces with a lot of depth, the goal will be more visible and within your grasp.
Your goals will be more achievable by breaking them down like this.

Let me tell you about my friend Hahn.
Hahn is in his 50s and JACKED.
When I am grappling with him in Jiu-Jitsu, he is a fun roll because he's a friendly guy.
But when he locks in, he is one challenging roll.
While he consults with his doctor for additional solutions, he really dials in on 5 factors that are in his control that have helped him for years.
And for myself in my 30s, these 5 things are the only things I do that have been working extremely well for me.
In this post, I'm going to share with you what I learned about supporting your testosterone levels naturally.

Intermittent fasting (IF) has gained significant popularity in recent years as a dietary strategy for weight loss and overall health improvement.
But does it really work?
In this post, we’ll explore the principles of intermittent fasting, its potential benefits, and what the research says about its effectiveness.

Grip strength is often overlooked as a key indicator of overall health and longevity.
However, a growing body of research has highlighted the significance of grip strength and its correlation to mortality rates.
A landmark study published in the Lancet in 2015 analyzed data from over 33,000 adults across 17 countries.
The researchers found that decreased grip strength was associated with a higher risk of mortality from all causes, as well as a greater likelihood of developing conditions like heart disease, stroke, and respiratory issues.
Given the importance of grip strength, it's crucial to understand the intricate musculature that gives us the ability to grasp, lift, and manipulate objects with our hands.
The forearms house a complex network of muscles that play a central role in wrist and finger movements, directly impacting our grip capabilities.
In this post, we'll delve into the anatomy of the forearm muscles and explore targeted exercises to help you build strength and enhance your overall functionality.
