P90X

I have been working out in a gym since I was a sophomore in high school. At one point I could bench close to 400 lbs. The best work out I have done for results in a short time frame is P90X.  Over the course of 90 days I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle. I looked great and I felt great. Not only do you get an amazing looking body your balance and coordination is drastically increased.

The program consist of working out 6 days a week for a 3 month period. The first week is the hardest. You will do multiple workouts and the program changes about every 3 weeks to confuse your muscles. 

 It is a very difficult work out. I would say the difficulty is 8 on a 10 scale for most people. It is hard but it works. I am under the impression that if something is easy it usually will not work. Shortcuts are usually a waste of money.

I highly recommend it for people who are a little heavier than they would like to be and want to slim down and rip up. If this is your goal make sure you do the diet. The diet will contribute to 60% of your success.

Dexter


My favorite TV series is Dexter on Showtime. If you  have never watched this wildly popular show,here is a brief description. During the day Dexter is a blood splatter analyst who works for the Miami Metro police department. At night Dexter is a serial killer. However, Dexter's targets are other serial killers. Also, he is in no way killing to make the world a better place. But, it is a nice afterthought.

Throughout the series you really like Dexter, the serial killer, and hope for his success and fear for his capture.

Yes, I know this makes me look a little deranged to like this show. However, I wish I were in your shoes being able to start the series at episode one and watch every episode with new eyes again. Believe me when I say you will love Dexter and immediately be hooked.

Dawn of the Dead 1978 George A. Romero

Zombie movies and books have become the new rage lately. I have always enjoyed the genera. My favorite zombie movie is Dawn of the Dead the 1978 version directed by George A Romero.

The only thing that is similar between the 1978 version and the 2004 version is that it takes place in a mall and there are zombies.  Don't get me wrong the 2004 movie is good just not in my top 5 zombie movies.

Dawn of the Dead features slow moving zombies and tracks the progress of some of the living survivors taking refuge in a mall. It was made as a commentary to our consumer lifestyle. Not only is it a good zombie movie, it has been named as one of the best horror movies ever made.

This is the movie that got me interested in zombie genera. It is the best zombie movie ever made. A close second is Night of the Living Dead (the original).

In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks By Adam Corolla

Before I read Adam Corlla's first book I had no idea what a man's man he was. His book details the pussification of American men. He also briefly discusses how women are becoming men and how we are changing gender roles. Men need to start being manly again.

Adam's book is excellent. One thing that really surprised me was how conservative he is. He does not define himself as a conservative but goes with the policy that makes the most sense.

After reading his opinion on almost everything you can think of in his two books, I have decided Adam Corolla is a genius. If you don't think he is a genius you will have to conclude he has some of the best street smarts around.  

This book is not just for men. But I think every man that reads it will enjoy it.
