This episode is brought to you by me. Seriously though, I'm not big on promoting stuff that I don't personally use and believe in. So instead I'm going to just quickly tell you about something of mine, specifically my hugely popular and 100% natural pre-workout supplement, Pulse. It has sold over 250,000 bottles in the last several years, and it increases energy, improves mood, sharpens mental focus, increases strength and endurance, and reduces fatigue without the unwanted side effects that you probably experience with many other pre-workouts or the dreaded pre-workouts

or the dreaded post-workout crash. It's also naturally sweetened and flavored and contains no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk. And all of that is why Pulse has over 3,100 reviews on Amazon with a four and a half star average and another 500 plus reviews on my website also with a four and a half star average. So if you want to feel focused, tireless, and powerful in your workouts, and if you want to say goodbye to the pre-workout jitters, upset stomachs and crashes for good then you want to head over to www.legionathletics.com and pick up a bottle of pulse today and if you're not sure which flavor to get i highly recommend blue raspberry it's my personal favorite and just to show how much i appreciate my podcast peeps

And I had a strange dream last night. So it starts with me getting a massage from a sloth who keeps telling me that I need to invest in the stock market. Now, I trust a sloth's financial advice about as much as I trust an invitation to tie Anthony Weiner's shoes, so I hard pass. Now, once the slosh finishes and no, not like that, you pervert. Now it turns out that the massage is in preparation for a battle Royale with a bunch of celebrities like hunger games style. Now the details are kind of hazy, but I do remember the

undertaker from WWE. He was awesome. Beating the shit out of Leonardo DiCaprio with a coconut. And there was Pinocchio in full three musketeers garb, no idea, slap fighting with W Bush. And then there was the scary dude from that old movie Scream, drowning Gwyneth Paltrow in a giant bucket of spaghetti. And no, her vagina rocks did not save her. Oh, and for some reason, Keira Knightley is literally Jesus Christ and she slaps me in the face with a fish. I don't know. It definitely made sense though. It made sense in the dream. Now, what does it mean and why am I sharing it with you? Well, I'm pretty sure that it means my brain can astral project into the multiverse. You mad bro? And I am posting this to tens of thousands of listeners because it's 2019. And if 2018 was any indication,

this year's shenanigans might make my dream seem reasonable or, you know, maybe prescient. Look, it makes sense if you don't think about it, okay? about it, okay? Hey, quickly, before we carry on, if you are liking my podcast, would you please help spread the word about it? Because no amount of marketing or advertising gimmicks can match the power of word of mouth. So if you are enjoying this episode and you think of someone else who might enjoy it as well, please do tell them about it. It really helps me. And if you are going to post about it on social media, definitely tag me so I can say thank you. You can find me on Instagram at Muscle for Life Fitness, Twitter at Muscle for Life, and Facebook at Muscle for Life Fitness. Anyways, now that we have that out of the way, let's talk business.

Here's what's going down in these parts. So first up is this. If you want to learn breakthrough diet strategies for melting belly fat faster than a roided hornet, belly fat faster than a roided hornet, as well as ancient Greek training techniques for packing on brain shrinking amounts of muscle in 30 days flat, and the secret underground supplements, the world's shittiest trainers use to get Hollywood A-listers not really jacked and definitely not shredded, then you want to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. I swear on my swollen, lactating nipples, hashtag lifetime drug free, that I will be excreting only the spiciest caca content on the social media platters, including totally not photoshopped pictures of my basically naked body, egregious displays of my not wealth, hackneyed sayings

about life that make my six-year-old laugh and point at me, pointless pictures of the peasant food I eat to hashtag fuel the machine. And yes, dear follower, there will be shameless plugs of utterly meaningless goo guys for you to waste all of your hardly earned dollars on as well. So what are you waiting for? Everyone's doing it. Follow me on Instagram at muscle for life fitness. Follow me on Facebook at muscle for life fitness and follow me on Instagram at MuscleForLifeFitness. Follow me on Facebook at MuscleForLifeFitness. And follow me on Twitter at MuscleForLife. Okay, so if you are still listening, I like you. You have your priorities straight.

You know that listening to my inane ramblings is the most valuable thing that you can possibly be doing right now. And this is why we're friends. Or so I like to think, which is why I may be standing in your shrubs right now, watching you listen to this. Okay. Okay. Real talk though. Although I do generally despise social media and even more so the fitness scene on social media, I am jumping headfirst into the fray. I mean, if you can't beat the degenerate narcissists, you might as well join them, right? Or not. Instead, what I'm going to do is use my social media accounts to reach more people with my simple science-based and practical advices for losing fat, building muscle, and getting strong, healthy, and happy. And so that's going to include things like video clips of my daily workouts. So you can see how I

am currently training, how I perform different exercises, and how crazy huge my biceps are. Pretty infographics with tips to help you get fitter faster. My takeaways from books I'm reading on fitness, business, marketing, history, and more. Previews of my new articles and podcasts with links for easy access. and of course, a shirtless selfie or three to prove that I do indeed have abs. So pretty please help me feel better about my decision to trade my self-respect for some likes from Russian bots and come follow me on Instagram at Muscle for Life Fitness, Facebook at Muscle for Life Fitness, and Twitter at Muscle for Life. Oh, and I also do respond to every message that I get on these

networks. Sometimes it takes me a little bit of time, but I do get to them. So they're also a good way to get in touch with me if you ever have any questions, concerns, or feedback. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or feedback. Another exciting announcement is that Legion's protein bars are imminent. Now, honestly, it's taken way too much work to get the exact protein bar that I wanted for my supplement company, Legion, but it is indeed finally happening within the next couple of weeks. And I do really mean it this time. You will be able to get your hands on a

baked to perfection, naturally sweetened and flavored high protein bar that is gluten-free, low in calories and sugar, and downright delicious. Now, allow me to punch up that last point. One of the most common complaints out there about protein bars is just how stale, dry, and bland most of them are. And the most common way to prevent this on the manufacturing side of things is just pumping them up with more sugar and fat, which is not what we fitness people want. The question then was, how do I make an all-natural protein bar with plenty of high-quality protein, a great taste and texture, and little sugar and fat? And the answer kind of sucked. It took 18 months of working with multiple manufacturers on who knows how many recipes and eating enough

samples to choke out a bloat, yes, look it up, of hippos. But voila, I now have a protein bar that does not suck. Go me and go you too, because very soon you will be able to have them with me. So honestly, there are a few more doodads worth sharing, including a new flavor of pulse that is on the way, as well as hot new content, including a fancy meal planning tool and FFMI calculator and more. But this podcast is already longer than Scaramucci's term at the White House. So I'm going to save the rest for our next totally platonic rendezvous. Until then, stay frosty.
