"One day I will be a Master Pull Up Badass!"
So you might think that hitting the gym 8 days a week is how you get the physique of a Greek god that can bench press a rhino.
Though we like the way you think and feel your head is in the right place…you, my friend, are neglecting the essentials. Kind of like learning the alphabet is to reading—Pull Ups are to muscle and strength.
Riddle me this Batman…
How often do you see a guy at the gym that can effortlessly perform 20 bodyweight pull-ups?
LIE!
Answer is none, because most “gym rats” couldn’t perform 2 pull ups if their protein shake and Got-to-Be hair gel depended on it.
Well The Rugged has you covered. In fact, we have you more than covered. We have put together a ‘Top Secret’ (not anymore) program that will get you there step by step.
If you’re your sick of being a chump, want to impress chicks and built a back so wide Kim Kardashian’s private helicopter could land on it, come take a look…
You’re weak.
I’m weak.
The difference is that I have the balls to admit it and you just won’t give in. I will continue to get results, yet you will continue to settle for mediocrity and make excuses as to why you haven’t succeeded.
Well, it’s not too late - we can help. Here are three ways to embrace your weaknesses and get results…come take a look…
Now you may be looking at this title thinking…
“Well, I don’t really have ANYTHING in my cupboard.”
Exactly. That is why M.A. is here to help you become more fit just by making a few additions to your very kitchen.
This isn’t going to be a list of foods that you should start putting on your grocery list. Your kitchen isn’t just for food. Your kitchen, I will have you know, is the foundation for which all shit hits the fan when trying to take your fitness to a new level.
It can also be the seed to your success.

A cool interview I did last year with Jared before the NYC Marathon…
Jared Fogle. Ten years ago, this name wouldn’t have meant much to you, but now…
Damn those blueberries look sexy.
Do you ever feel like your brain was hard-wired by an under-qualified technician at Radio Shack? Or that a “brain fart” isn’t just a figure of speech, but rather an everyday occurrence for you somewhere between lunch and dinner? Or, maybe, just maybe, you should have actually worn a helmet that time you tried to jump the quarries on your Huffy?
Well, the solution may be as simple as…blueberries.
Besides their damn good looks and overwhelming popularity, there are a few MORE things that you should know about the blueberry and why it’s nature’s “smart food”.
I want to first applaud you. (Applauding) Nice job! You went to the gym and you worked out today. You are making strides toward building the body you want and making a healthier YOU!
Ok. Are we off the air yet?
Perfect.
Now let’s discuss what the hell actually went on in the gym today. Your body wouldn’t have known the difference between that workout and dislodging the fork you stuck in the garbage disposal. It is time for you to understand the second half of going to the gym – which is kickin’ ass. It’s not as muchwhat you do, but rather how you do it. Hundreds of people are going to the gym everyday and leaving feeling as though they’ve “accomplished something”. I don’t want to take that away from them, but maybe I can help them decipher the difference between an incredible workout and a waste of time.
Here are some telltale signs of a crappy workout and some suggestions on how to change it for the better…
If you think being locked up inside my apartment this weekend threw me off my fitness game—think again.
Though many of you may have been looking for excuses not to workout or eat right because of the hurricane, there are the meatheads of the world that found it an opportune time to think outside the box.
Mother Nature reared her ugly this weekend on the East Coast in form of a hurricane-her name was Irene. Though I wasn’t able to watch my Sunday’s best HBO television–I now know what the Amish folk go through on a daily basis—minus churning my own butter, wearing those strange top hats or…ok, so it was nothing like what they go through–I lost electricity. (No offense to Amish people, though it wouldn’t matter anyway because you wouldn’t have the means to read this article anyhow).
Some of you may or may not have been equipped, but with these 5 tips, next time a hurricane and/or other natural disaster tries to rear up the coast—you will be ready.
Without further adieu, here are FIVE Ways a Meathead Prepares for a Hurricane…
Note: Hair must be perfectly gelled before going to sleep.
If you are like most “gym rats” on the planet and think that hitting the gym 8-days a week is the best possible way to gain the huge pecs you desire, the lean midsection chicks drool over and be able to squat a Fiat without breaking a sweat…
Well, like most you’d be going in the absolute wrong direction to accomplishing any of the above.
And because I want you to become as jacked and ripped as humanly possible, there are a few tips I found necessary to point out below. So, in case you haven’t noticed this trend or you are new to the site, it may be time for you to check the back logs of posts geared toward getting you in peak shape.
Today, though…today my friends I will teach you the overlooked element of recovery and how to accomplish this. Check it out…
Crazy.
I know—maybe, just maybe, I am.
Or am I?
You’re reading the title of this post right now thinking, “No way Gino–the reason I go on vacation is to rip it up and tear through every shred of shitty grease-laden, alcohol filled food and/or beverage in sight. I will not be tied down to the ‘Laws of Healthy Lifestyle—not on my effing vacation!”
Are you done William Wallace? Good. now step down for a second and lend me your ear (cue ‘Wonder Years’ theme music now)…
