Floating Deadline vs Strict Deadline

By on

Have you heard the saying “A goal without a deadline is just a dream.” There’s a lot of merit to this statement. A concrete deadline creates a sense of urgency, especially if there is an event tied into it such as a wedding, beach vacation, photo shoot, or physique contest.

This is inline with Parkinson’s Law which states, “Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion.”

But as we all know… Life happens. And these unexpected challenges often set us back, which places a greater stress on you if you want achieve your goal in the allotted time frame.

In episode 31 of the Physique Mastery Podcast we share our approach of using a floating deadline, which gives you the best of both worlds. A sense of urgency with a bit of leeway for when life presents you with challenges.

Problem Areas and Negative Self Talk

By on

Do you find yourself focusing on the last place you burn fat… aka problem areas?

Lately I’ve been seeing many of my very ripped and muscular physique freak clients, friends, and colleagues getting down on themselves for not looking the way they think they should look.

The interesting thing is that they look better than 95-99% of the population, yet they pick themselves apart. It seems they aren’t happy unless they are walking around with a photo ready physique 365 days out of the year.

Can you relate? I know that I can. View Full Post… Click Here!

42 Things You May Not Know About Me

By on

To celebrate my 42nd birthday today, I thought you’d enjoy getting to know a little bit more about me other than the fact that I’m a lightweight bodybuilder who spends more time with his shirt off than on and who loves little more than the feeling of cold iron in his hands and warm blood pumping through his veins.

1) I cry during movies.

2) I’ve never been on a train.

3) I used to be repulsed by the idea of sushi and now it’s my favourite food. Still refuse to eat lobster, crab, and shrip though.

4) 90% of the time you’ll hear me listening to 90’s rap or 90’s grunge.

5) As much as I appreciated Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was Jean Claude Van Damme’s physique that inspired me the most as a teen. His posters were plastered in the workout room in my parents basement.

6) My favourite animal is a fox. The Disney movie The Fox and the Hound is what started it all.

7) I can’t stand Tim Horton’s coffee. But when they launch their Roll Up The Rim To Win campaign every year, I somehow find myself in there multiple times a week.

8) I had a double hernia operation when I was 18 months old.

9) One time when I missed my connecting flight I fell asleep at the airport and farted so loud it woke me up.

10) If I ever experience stress in my life I guarantee I’ll have a dream about either not being able to find my locker in high school or arriving at a final exam in University while realizing that I never attended a class, handed in an assignment or studied.

Applied Physique Mastery – Client Success Story

By on

In episode 28 of the Physique Mastery Podcast we’re joined by Dennis Breitwieser-Cutshall to discus the incredible success he’s had during the past 12 months of participating in our Physique Mastery Movement group coaching experience.

During the past year Dennis has dropped 23 pounds and 18% body fat by applying the physique mastery code that we teach, which involves;

  • A slow and steady approach.
  • Floating deadlines.
  • Variable training frequency to suit your lifestyle.
  • Adopting nutrition practices that work best for YOU.
  • Embracing the process.
  • Progressing through exercise quality while enhancing your mind-muscle connection.
  • Structure. Creating a process that’s easily repeatable while focusing on the important things that produce results.

It’s one thing to hear Bryan and I preach these fundamental principles of Physique Mastery, but it’s something entirely different when you get to hear from people who have applied the principles and experienced the success that comes along with it.

This is a must listen to episode in my opinion. You’ll feel the passion and excitement from Dennis as he shares his story.
