Today is the big day in our 4 part series of bodyweight challenges…
3 Minute Squat Challenge
OK this one is probably going to feel a bit different than the other two.
Push Ups for Chest (front delts, triceps and core stabilization) was pretty tough, but more of a muscle ENDURANCE event
Chin Ups for back (rear delts and biceps) required more POWER than push ups and was probably the toughest of the three to complete even half the reps of Push Ups
Squats for Quads, Hamstrings, even calves (lower back and core stabilization) will be more of a SPEED STRENGTH challenge.
So far in Challenge #3 of 4 we have covered 3 different exercises and 3 different training techniques for 3 totally different outcomes even though we are limited to our bodyweight and our time (3 minutes).
The other constant is we are always moving our bodies thru space, rather than moving weights through space which is pound for pound always easier than moving the same bodyweight through space. It’s weird but true.
Think about this. You can do a Bench Press with say a max weight of 315 pounds. Now if you were 315 pounds do you think you could do the same amount of reps with your feet on a bench for push ups?
It’s doubtful. Even if you can, you aren’t really moving a true 315 pounds of bodyweight through space, you are moving a portion of your total bodyweight… and it’s tough.
So today’s 3 minute challenge is going to be really, really tough.
You will need to have muscle ENDURANCE as you will no doubt be able to complete a fairly high amount of repetitions, but need to keep strict form.
You need to combine POWER since you are moving your entire bodyweight through space up and down repeatedly.
You need to have SPEED to set a pace that you can control for as long as you can to complete 3 minutes of body weight squats and yet to be the champion, to be your best you will need to move quickly and if you are a bigger guy or girl you will be challenged to keep that pace and strength going for the full three minutes. I am certain that you will complete so many reps in one set that you will start to creep into the lactic acid threshold very quickly.
So here we go. I wish you the best of luck and the most reps to you.
Everyone challenging themselves in this squat challenge that posts a video of their challenge and tagging or linking back to EmpoweredNutrition.com will receive a Hotel Night Stay on me. Good to use anytime within 1 year.

What’s Your Magic Number in the 3 Minute Push Up Challenge?
315,532,800
Happy Anniversary to My Amazing and Beautiful Wife Terri!
So why 315,532,800… well that is precisely the time we have been married in seconds. It could very well be the same number of pounds of fat I have helped people lose… I guess we need to start that tally now too. (I have a special gift for you too… click the link at the end of this post).
Here is a weird way to tally how long I have been married and all during the process I have struggled with weight gain, weight loss, muscle gain, muscle loss, the urge to train, bulk up, mountainbike, resume MMA training and even from time to time think longingly for the days back in the royal Canadian Military. But I wouldn’t trade what I have today with Terri and our 3 amazing kids for any of that silly boy stuff…
Well sort of…
I am back to training, but don’t plan on competing in any body building events.
I am flipping tires and doign strong man things, but won’t compete again.
I do like to toss the football and skate but won’t go semi pro again.. not that I would even make the first round of cuts.
I am mountain biking once again and it feels great… entering into a race series starting next Tuesday.
So I am getting some old habits (only the good and healthy ones), but for the greater good of my personal well being and that of my family. When I train I am a better person. I feel better, look better and think better. I have a better eating habit and supplement more regularly with my multi vitamins and proteins… which by the way enhances your mental outlook and your internals and hormone profiles as well as functions.
I encourage you today to consider doing at least 20 minutes of intense activity 3-5 even 7 days a week. I walk 20-30 minutes after I take the kids to the school bus in the morning and train or mountain bike 5 days a week. Its only been a few weeks and I feel great.
So here’s a bunch of dumb numbers to say its 10 years later and I am still married and love my wife and kids more today than I did 10 years ago (my oldest is only 6). Check it out… crazy numbers…
The total number of days between Saturday, May 20th, 2000 and Thursday, May 20th, 2010 is 3,652 days.
This is equal to exactly 9 years and 12 months.
This does not include the end date (today), so it’s accurate if you’re measuring in days, or the total days between the start and end date. But if you want the duration of an event that includes both the starting date and the ending date, then it would actually be 3,653 days.
The total time span from 2000-05-20 to 2010-05-20 is 87,648 hours.
This is equivalent to 5,258,880 minutes.
You can also convert 3,652 days to 315,532,800 seconds.
May 20th, 2000 was a Saturday. It is the 141st day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2000 is a leap year, so there are 366 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2000.
May 20th, 2010 is a Thursday. It is the 140th day of the year, and in the 20th week of the year (assuming each week starts on a Monday), or the 2nd quarter of the year. There are 31 days in this month. 2010 is not a leap year, so there are 365 days in this year. The short form for this date used in the United States is 5/20/2010.
Yeah and just to be 100% truthful I am not smart enough or make that way to smart to do all those calculations myself. I used this handy tool >> http://www.convertunits.com/dates/from/May+20,+2000/to/May+20,+2010
Well I have to say I am more than excited for this day. I am pretty busy, but I will shut things down later today and do something with my wife and kids, then just my amazing wife (Terri).
Today is the day that celebrates 10 years since we have been married… and to my amazement she still loves me… I hope its more or at least the same as back in the day, after all much has changed, especially me, our lifestyle and the number of people in the house (+3 kids). WOW!
To celebrate I am having a 3 day sale. Starting at noon (12pm) today until noon (12pm) on Sunday I will be almost giving away the Done-For-You Fast Fat Loss System for half its normal price. If you are looking to lose fat fast, then today you can celebrate with me and lose some fat real fast.
Come Celebrate My 10 Year Anniversary and Celebrate the Start of Your New Body

Patrick How Can I Be 100% Positive My Nutrition Program Is Working?
CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
That is a great question. I get asked that a lot. Now most of the time with any of our Empowered Nutrition Meal Plans and especially our Personalized Nutrition Programs it is very obvious and easily identified.
But how do you know the program is working for performance. Well that is as easy as taking your measurements and comparing them to the last set of measurements.
Lately I have been on a bit of a journey myself. You see I started back in the day wanting to be a competitive body builder. Problem was I was skinny. Great for non contact hockey, but eventually things got rough and I had to bulk up and still keep my skills on the ice.
Well I played at a high level of hockey and football, went thru the military and honestly breezed thru the QL bootcamps and became a competitive body builder. All that was great and I literally set goals and accomplished them every season. Now fast forward many years, 3 kids an awesome wifem a crazy busy business and lots of desk jockey time and I need to refocus, energize and motivate myself to get back at it and get in great physical performance conditioning.
So what motivates me to get back at it today? These days its not just setting big goals, but its the little goals that are really making a difference in my comeback. Its hard enough to find time to exercise these days.
The thing I found is working for me is to CHALLENGE myself to workout 1, 2, 3 even 4, 5 and 6 days a week. I’m not doing too badly. I’m up to a consistent 3 sessions a week. That’s pretty good considering March 1 2010 I was getting in 1 workout a week on a good week.
Now here is a little challenge I am enjoying these days. I like to test myself each and every workout. Literally I put together some exercises I want to see if I can do it and just go out and attack it.
I am not really into counting reps anymore or just yet again, so I am using my iPhone to time various challenges.
Here’s one that is real easy to implement and will be a real fast tell tale if your nutrition and training program is working for you. I want you to take the test and report back to me in a comment below.
The Empowered 3 Minute Challenge
Set your timer to chime every 3 minutes
Do each exercise to failure, rest and go at it for 3 minutes total until the timer rings
Do a light warm up. I like a 3 minute run / walk program 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, 1 minute run, 1 minute walk… total warm up 6 minutes and you should be ready to do a light stretch, but not too much, you do not want to burn any extra glycogen since you want to test yourself to a time failure with this Empowered 3 Minute Challenge.
Exercise #1 (3 minutes) – Bodyweight Squats
Rest 1 Minute
Exercise #2 (3 minutes) – Push Ups
Rest 1 Minute
Exercise #3 (3 minutes) – Chin Ups
That’s it. Just hit 12-15 minutes of activity and when your done stretch it out and report back to me in the comments below. Wait a month, focus on your nutrition, step up your exercise routine and test yourself again in a month and come on back and drop an update to your comment and let me know how you are doing.
Be sure to challenge yourself in everything you do. Goals are only accomplished in a few ways. One is to set goals and crush it. The other is to challenge yourself to do better each and every day.

Top 10 Foods For Fat Loss
This is taken from My Q&A from The Empowered Transformation Coaching Program
Empowered Member Question: “What are your top 10 must eat foods for fat loss?”
You can read it in full detail on the blog www.EmpoweredNutrition.com, but for now here is the list and a sentence to get you thinking.
Okay so Top 10 Foods For Fat Loss, this is not an easy task, there are so many things I want to do and say about foods for fat loss, for now, here we go.
Water (I had a bunch of Transformation Coaching clients tell me “that’s NOT food!”)
Okay fine so water isn’t “food” but it is the most important substance you can take into your body… Water is 100% essential need to the body, and 100% essential for fat loss. If nothing else remember this the next time you chug down some water. “How do you think that fat leaves the body?” I will give you a hint, it doesn’t just magically disappear into nothing.
Eggs
My next choice is eggs, especially egg whites and omega 3 eggs. You know there is just nothing you can’t do with good old fashioned natural eggs…
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is a personal obsession, it is hard not to put it at one because of my pure love for it but nonetheless here it is, Oatmeal. A lot of people get very confused about oatmeal, how to cook it, which brand to get…
EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids)
Next up is EFA’s or essential fatty acids. These are essential. Yeah I know, not really a food either, or are they? They come from foods and are natural, so I consider EFA’s empowerednutrition…
Berries
Berries. Particularly I would chose wild blueberries, raspberries and cranberries. Some of the best sources of anti-oxidants, fiber, low calories, easy to make anything taste good with and if you buy frozen you can save some cash…
Fish
I am NOT a huge fish fan for taste, but it IS one of the cleanest natrually occuring protein sources on the planet. I still don’t love fish (except fish sticks)…
GREENS
Greens is classified as turnips, spinach, collard, kale, I would even throw in broccoli into that mix. These are the true super foods. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, low calorie, list goes on and on… Find out what I learned from Sam Graci about getting my veggies in…
Protein Powders (YES I know… not really a food… or is it!?)
Now that I gave you my “eat your veggies” talk, let’s talk protein. Specifically, Whey Protein. …
Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes deemed the “antidiabetic” food are filled with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and of all starch foods are the easiest to digest. Did I mention they are really yummy? …
Butters
Yeah this sounds odd.. BUTTERS?…
So with this list realize that if you ate nothing but what is on this list that you have a complete balanced diet right here. Complete amino acids, good fats, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants, all right here in these 10 foods. Mix them up even and have real power meals, put the berries in the oatmeal, put the spinach in the omelets, it is endless. Some people might say “hey you didn’t list this or that”, don’t get me wrong there are definitely some other great foods out there, but as far as I what I feel the average person can easily and should keep in their daily diet, these are my top 10 for today.

OK so today I want to cover a few things, lots of things, more things, totally too busy to get it all done, kind of crazy things… I mean lots and lots and lots of stuff…
Read the entire Article on Caffeine
>> www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/caffeine-for-fat-loss-and-performance
Alright enough with the BUZZ talk for today. Point blank I want to share some evidence on caffeine and how it can help and hinder your results for the gym, the office and the home.
This is quite typically the most over documented product in the world and the most blogged about topic on the net. I am taking a more clinical approach to this blog post as I have given you some of the more simple evidence in past posts. Today we get technical and with this information you will see how caffeine can enhance most other products and foods you may be using or ingesting. Specifically I am always impressed with the good old “Grapefruit and Coffee Diet” or more accurately “Naringin and Caffeine” for fat loss.
Now to the technical stuff for Caffeine.
Caffeine is a Nonessential Micronutrient
My Summary
Caffeine is the most widely used “drug” in the world, consumed daily by millions in coffee, tea, and sodas. We use it for its stimulating effects, for a jolt of energy, or in an attempt to fight fatigue — and it does work. What most coffee drinkers don’t know is that caffeine mobilizes fat for use as energy, which is a great thing if you are exercising and trying to reduce fat but not so good if you spend your days sitting at a desk eating doughnuts. Caffeine is a standard part of many stimulating, weight-loss supplements.
Find out all the crazy goodness and badness of caffeine over at www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/caffeine-for-fat-loss-and-performance
Other names for Caffeine: caffeine anhydrous… or as I like to say “the BUZZ”
Where to find Caffeine:
Caffeine is found naturally in coffee (most prominently), tea, chocolate, cola products, guarana (an herb), kola nut (another herb), and many “fat-burning” type weight-loss products.
In Today’s post when it comes to caffeine we cover…

Potential uses for Caffeine
Research indicates that Caffeine may be useful in the treatment of:

NOTES ON USAGE including…

Energy jolt
Athletic performance
Synergists of Caffeine
Safety of Caffeine
Toxicity of Caffeine:
Bans and restrictions:
Now, of course, a dose of common sense is very important when using caffeine or any stimulant. Drinking two entire pots of coffee by yourself in a day is just plain nonsense! There is truth in the old saying, “too much of a good thing can hurt ya.” But in moderate amounts, up to three cups of coffee a day, caffeine has been shown in research to have no ill effects.
In conclusion
The stimulating facts about caffeine are that it’s not “evil” and has in fact shown itself to be a valuable aid for increasing fat loss, boosting energy, and effectively helping athletes reach higher levels of performance.

Grapefruit For Fat Loss
Grapefruit is highly abundant in a component called Naringin. It is this Naringin that makes the cragefruit diet work. That and the caffeine from coffee, the restricted high glycemic and complex carbs and low calories. But none the less Naringin is very effective for fat loss, medicinal assitance, performance boost and much more.
This is a general overview. The full article is available at www.EmpoweredNutrition.com/naringin-for-fat-loss
Naringin is a Nonessential Micronutrient
My Summary
While Naringin has become most popular for its synergistic effects with other supplements, especially caffeine, it’s quickly gaining ground for its other potential benefits. In particular, its ability to support healing of our tissues after intense, grueling workouts. But make no mistake, the best reason to be interested in Naringin is to increase the effectiveness of the other supplements you may be taking. Get the facts in this unique and interesting review of Grapefruit and Naringin.
Other names for Naringin: citrus bioflavonoid, grapefruit peel, orange peel
Where to find Naringin
Naringin is a flavonoid extracted from the inner peel of grapefruit and other citrus fruits (albeit in lower amounts).
Much of the early research into citrus-fruit flavonoids was funded by the Florida orange juice industry looking for a commercial use for orange peel. Grapefruit product manufacturers try to use fruits with low Naringin content since it causes the bitterness characteristic of citrus fruits. The food industry, however, uses Naringin as a bitter in “tonic” beverages, bitter chocolate, ice cream, and ices.
PERFORMANCE BENEFITS
Why athletes use Naringin
Interested in saving some cash by increasing the potency and lifespan of your supplements? Look no further. Naringin does just that and more.
Ways that Naringin can enhance Fat Loss:
Reduce hunger while potentially enhancing the flavor of foods by stimulating the taste buds
Ways that Naringin can enhance Longevity:
Extend the life of supplemented nutrients and increase their potency
HEALTH BENEFITS
Signs of Naringin deficiency: No deficiency conditions are known to exist.
Potential uses for Naringin: Research indicates that Naringin may be useful in the treatment of:
Herpes
Diabetes
Alcoholism
Heart failure
Chronic venous insufficiency
Bruising

I know you are busy and have a lot to do, but I also know that there is a good chance you suffer from back pain like I do.
I wanted to take a quick moment to give you some tips to help correct your back pain and create a “bullet proof back”, but to be honest my friend Eric does a much better job at it over at BulletProofYourBack.com
You can read the rest of my painful story on the Empowered Nutrition Blog www.EmpoweredNutrition.com or you can go see the even more scary back pain experience that Eric has endured and the reason for this awesome program by visiting www.BulletProofYourBack.com
The Number #1 Cause of Back Pain is Repetitive Stress
The #1 Way to Relieve the Back Pain is Proactive Stretching and Exercise…
The #1 Reason Most People still suffer from Back Pain is NOT knowing exactly what exercises to do and what order, how much and how often.
I have chronic back pain. It’s so bad at times that I am laid out in bed for days. I mean this problem is mostly due to sports injuries and lack of active rehab. It’s ridiculous; you can literally see my hips shoot out and over by and inch or more and up more than an inch to the right side… always to the right, never the left.
Read the rest on the blog > www.EmpoweredNutrition.com
Or read Eric’s reason to Bullet Proof Your Back over at www.BulletProofYourBack.com
I mean things get so bad with back pain that I can’t breath normally. It feels like I can’t breath at all and I have to do other stupid things just to get dressed.
All my training was halted about 8 years ago due to a severe injury to my back. I got that “shift” right in the middle of an exercise and bottom line is I never got back to training. I was contemplating competing again and was leaner than ever 16 weeks out, so it would have been a good show and “POP” the back went out… I couldn’t fall down… I couldn’t get up… I couldn’t let go of the bar I was holding for fear of springing up and hurting it even more.
The worst part is that my whole life changed. Back pain stopped me from doing the things I loved for several weeks and even months and still affects me today. I couldn’t do the simple things I loved. I couldn’t…
Hold my daughter (now 3 kids)
Workout
Stretch (yeah couldn’t even do that to fix the problem)
Prepare for the contest, photo shoots, calendars, nothing…
Make money to pay the bills the way I was with my physique
Work my day job
Drive safely… I still did, but it was scary
Play with family and friends
Mountain bike… and I just got a $3000 bike then…
I couldn’t do “squat”… literally squats to tie up my shoes, put on my socks or even squat to stretch with my own body weight.
My back pain was so bad that I couldn’t even pick up a bowl to help empty the dishwasher. I tried and dropped it because the problem from my lower back caused me upper back and even grip strength problems.
Let’s just face it back pain sucks and if you are like me you will spend thousands of dollars on rehab, tools and devices like I did… I still use my inversion table for peace of mind and when I just don’t feel like stretching or am too lazy and tired to be proactive, but nothing beats active rehab.
If you have any back pain at all, you need to jump on it NOW. Do NOT wait to fix it like I did. That day will never come and it will be too late to avoid the PAIN… luckily its never to late to fix the problem and “bullet proof your back”.
If you suffer from back pain like I did then you need to visit my friend Eric Wong… like me he is a back pain sufferer with a very scary back pain story that you won’t even believe when you read it, but I know Eric, we had lunch the other day and I know his pain. If you suffer from back pain visit Eric’s site and Bullet Proof Your Back Today.

“Omega-3 fatty acids Improves Mobility,
Healthy Joints and Other Inflammatory Disorders”
Arthritis and Joint Disorders are inflammatory conditions linked to toxic free radicals. Conventional treatments, such as non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory prescription drugs (NSAIDs), only offers symptomatic relief; they do not reverse arthritic conditions. This group of inflammatory drugs including Aleave, Motrin IB and aspirin, can lead to side effects like stomach ulcers, kidney problems and ringing in the ears.
These drugs hamper joint healing and the muscle-building process itself, which is why an increasing number of people with joint problems are choosing alternative approaches. One of the most promising natural alternatives is Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids can help to ease morning stiffness and tenderness in the joints. Clinical studies of Omega-3 supplements in patients with rheumatoid arthritis have demonstrated a reduction of arthritic symptoms; including pain, the number of tender joints and morning stiffness. Also, studies conducted in this population have shown that taking Omega-3 supplements led to a decreased use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and corticosteroids, with effects peaking over a 6-8 month period.
A very promising, recent study published in Surgical Neurology investigated Omega-3 supplementation (with EPA and DHA) for non-surgical neck and back pain. The results were striking – a majority reported improvement in their pain symptoms and 4 in 5 patients were satisfied with their improvement…
