#one day I’ll learn how to achieve consistency! but not anytime soon

[winedogs]

this trial had EVERYTHING. knocked bars. technical difficulties. blown teeters. bad handling. good handling but Jay blew me off and did what he wanted anyways. flawless dogwalk contacts that meant nothing because he popped the weaves for no reason. and a perfect 6.7YPS JWW run with one singular bar to make me go insane.

“the dawn before sunrise is darker than anything

but never forget the stars you hope for only appear in the dark”

a young man once told me that the dawn before the sun rises is always the darkest.

another young man told me that we can only live for today and the self we choose to grow into, day after day after day. we may not know about tomorrow, but we can certainly choose who we become in the end. 

it is nearly 2020- the end of this decade, the start of the next. the holiday season is a time of wonderful joy and celebration, but it is also a time of quiet reflection.

the idea of tomorrow has stuck with me month after month this year, for some reason. perhaps it’s a byproduct of struggling with dissociation, trying to get a grasp of what exactly it means to be real and present in life. perhaps it’s living in a world where nothing is guaranteed, where i have teachers who break me down rather than build me up by telling me that it is shameful to be a woman, god forbid a gay person who speaks her mind. indeed, something i’ve always taken for granted- tomorrow creeping in its petty pace, as it so likes to do- is suddenly juxtaposed against a great backdrop of change. this year meant finding an amazing therapist; gaining an understanding of self-love; solidifying who I am without the spindly, choking threads of trauma; and so, so much more.

who says that we are entitled to a tomorrow? who decides who lives, who dies, who falls somewhere in the middle?

there have been weeks this year where i begged that tomorrow wouldn’t come in hopes it would offer some sort of respite from everything i felt at the time, some ounce of shelter. on those days, i paid attention to lyrics that told me to accelerate more, not to get too far away, reminding me that i am loved without fail even when I find it impossible to look at the reflection staring back at me in the mirror.

thankfully, after falling headlong into them for days at a time, those weeks are in the past. i’m no longer holding onto a wisp, but grabbing a fistful and clutching onto it with everything I’ve got. in june 2020, i leave to pursue my childhood dream, putting everything aside and diving headfirst into a brand new world, with no idea of what may come. if seven months from now is the dawn, there are several hundred days of darkness i’ll have to wade through before i get there.

but i’m not afraid anymore.

i don’t know if i’m entitled to tomorrow. i don’t know if i’ll make it to that day, or the day after, or the next month, or to that fated day in june when i pack everything into the trunk of the car and shed a tear or two. i’ll never know until i live and breathe it, but i’m at peace with it. the north star will always shine in the heavens just as surely as we will change, but i am secure in the knowledge that i am evolving for the better. i am evolving for the days that i can look myself in the mirror and not be so critical about the way that shirt hugs my curves. i am evolving for the days that i can let go of my concerns and run headlong into life without being so worried about what happens as a result. i am evolving too for the days when the most i am capable of is retreating away from the world into the safety of my own bedsheets. it is those days, the ones where i doubt if the next will ever come, that the stars will shine down at me and smile just a little bit brighter.

thank you for the laughs, the tears, the sense of community, and falling in love with something that is bigger than yourself that will have your back without fail. thank you for your feedback and for reading my works, even if it’s just one word at a time. thank you for supporting me, for trusting me, for being patient with me.

thank you for walking with me on this journey into tomorrow, for painting the dawn in crimson and orange and the prettiest shades of pink. i can’t wait to see what the daylight brings.

merry christmas everyone, and have a blessed new year.

all my love, hope

“however it goes, it doesn't matter, yeah, yeah

it may be different to what you were hoping for

how you live on and how you love might change

that’s true

yeah, so, are you gonna move?

we are too young to be hesitating, just run head-on onto it

so what you gonna do?”

💌 @94hixtape:

my dear lu, it’s your old friend hope. i miss you more every day that goes by. i know life hasn’t been very kind to you, and i hope things have started looking up for you since the last time we talked briefly. i don’t expect you to see this anytime soon, but it feels wrong somehow to not write a dedication to you. although we only knew each other for what feels like the briefest of moments in the grand scheme of it all, you impacted me in a way few others have. you’re forever kind, full of endless love that overflows and bursts from the seams in the best way possible. you are warm and compassionate and good, and you impacted my heart with rays of sunlight, bountiful and bright. i cannot even describe how much i miss you; there’s so much to tell you. every time i see a sunset, i think of you.

i love you always, once around the sun and back again.

💌 @a-big-woofle​

woofle, we’ve found ourselves perched on the cusp of a new start, it seems. we’ve known each other since the first day of kindergarten many moons ago, and to imagine life without you is to imagine lungs without breath. we’ve completed each other for years now: the yin to my yang, tik to my tok, peanut butter to my jelly. they say hundreds of miles cannot separate two hearts who truly care, and it’s our bond that has taught us the truth in that statement. i miss you so much, but i can’t wait to explore disney with you next year- not as the gangly, awkward kids we once were, but as best friends in adulthood, just being with each other in all of the goodness of those words.

you are loved beyond words and you are so more than your flaws. i’m beyond proud of everything we’ve achieved and i cannot wait to make more memories with you.

💌  @btssmutgalore​

dee, i know that we’ve barely talked, but you’ve helped me heal in ways others cannot even dream of touching. sin city was a series i read before i even created a tumblr account, and it ended up meaning more to me than i could have ever imagined. the way you speak your voice touches my heart over and over and gives me hope that i will someday be in a position to learn to trust again in the same way that jimin does. when i feel absolutely broken, your fics remind me that healing is not a linear process; i feel safe when i am immersed in your writing. 

there is such goodness in your heart and it does not go unnoticed. thank you for helping me fight the worst of my trauma and realize that i’m not a broken person- i just need a little bit of patience. 

💌 @guksheart​

cait, my dear, it’s been five months since we last saw each other, but it feels like a century has gone by. you will be here! in two months!! i’m counting down the days, i really am.

there were times this year when we didn’t think we were going to make it. we braced ourselves for the brunt of the impact, but when it hit, we didn’t shatter. we may have cracked, but like the japanese pottery tradition, we filled those crevices in with gold. we truly are shining, even in the darkest moments of the night when we can’t see our own glow. it is that bond that will keep us going, because as long as you reflect in me and i in you, we can recognize that beautiful innate worth we share.

i am honored to walk into tomorrow with you- my platonic soulmate, sister, best friend, fellow crackhead, therapist, gay mother, ramen enthusiast, cat lover, future author, psych nerd, the yoongi to my jungkook, and so much more. i love you more than words can express, and i know tim and kurt do, too.

💌 @jingetspegged​

elin, i know we’re not very close, but your posts constantly and consistently make my day. thank you for being unapologetically you- it is a dose of reality that i need and a reminder that there is space in the world to be who you are and exactly who you’re meant to be. you’re proud to be yourself and that’s something i could really learn from. plus, you’re a jin stan, which means you’re automatically one of the best people out there. 

thank you for being an inspiration to a young gay trying to find her place in the world. all my love to you!

💌 @seokjinglebells​​

meara!!! i am so glad we’ve become close recently; i’ve been blessed with an angel at my side. you helped make one of the darkest times of my life just a little bit brighter, and your words bring solace to my heart. i truly hope we get to meet someday, because i think we’d have the best adventures together. 

never forget how sweet and kind and lovely you are, like a flower that blooms year-round despite the frost and the rain. in fact, you flourish despite these things- a source of goodness and beauty no matter what life throws your way. i adore you with every ounce of my being!

💌 @yoonsgiggle​

hannah, if i could wrap min yoongi himself in a box and give him to you, i would. your soul is too good for this world, but at the same time you are a living example of what yoon meant when he said “may your trials end in full bloom.” even on days when it feels like the world is collapsing, know that you are loved and there are so many wonderful things in store for you. 

you inspire me not only as a writer, but as a person. i wish i could have as much love in my heart for the simple things as you do in yours.

happy holidays, everyone. here’s to a christmas season filled with peace in our hearts and joy in our souls, wherever we may find it.

The walk of victory

Idol AU (Rebelde AU)

Characters: Tara Lee (OC), Johnny Suh, Mark Yang (changed his last name for plot purposes)

Word count : 1,2k

In which Mark and Johnny end up tangled in a love triangle with Tara Lee, the country’s ‘Little sister’ and 1/6 of the Co-ed pop sensation IMPULSE! Mostly angst and very bad decisions.

(Part of a larger story and multiple AUs, but can be read on its own)

“There’s a temporary exhibition dedicated to expressionism,” Johnny says touching the back of his head “Maybe we can find some time this week to go watch it” he adds, wording the invitation carefully.

Or that’s what Tara thinks anyhow.  She’s standing before the full-length golden mirror that, by now, every fan of NCT has learned to recognize as a trademark of Johnny’s room. Her reflection stares at her judgmentally.

The series of events leading to the “scandalous” outcome of Tara spending the night at NCT’s dorm is still up to debate. Tara has been vainly trying to come up with one, but there’s really no explanation for what happened last night and what has been consistently happening in the last couple of weeks. She’s pretty sure that if they were to get caught, the tabloids and gossip-hungry websites that report her every move would reduce it to a petty feud between her and Mark. But even in her worst state of mind, Tara knows that whatever she and Johnny have been up to is beyond Mark and her desire to get back at him, to see him wither in pain and jealousy after betraying her trust.

For one thing, there is no pain or jealousy for Mark to feel at all. Tara has allowed her pettiness to cloud her judgment and has been acting like a foolish teenager who sneaks with Johnny whenever the opportunity arises and doesn't even bother to hide it anymore. And yet, as of today, Mark is still blissfully unaware of the affair she’s having with his bandmate and supposedly best friend. For another, there’s nothing suggesting he’ll find about it anytime soon. Considering how Johnny was completely sure Mark wouldn’t sleep at the dorm the previous night, it is probably for the best.

“He’s not been coming home lately” Tara can recall Johnny explaining with a smirk as he stripped her clothes off her body, his voice a bit too casual for her liking. Then, again, the whole situation was already far too out of control and messed up for her to start caring about trivialities like Johnny implying Mark had already moved on from her and was frequenting someone else.

“Tara?” Johnny’s voice pulls Tara back to reality. Upon blinking twice, she realizes the guy has moved to stand behind her, his proximity makes her shift uncomfortably.

“Uh…er… yes, sure.” Tara nods offhandedly. She knows Johnny won’t take no for an answer.

He never does.

That’s probably how she ended up fucking him in the backseat of his car for the first time. Or how they ended up sneaking into his group’s shared apartment last night.

__

Tara can’t pinpoint with exactitude the moment her life turned upside down, all she knows is that it all started a doomed night of December when she bumped into Mark Yang at an award show afterparty and it’s only gone downhill from there. Tara’s life currently consists of one mistake followed by an even bigger mistake; regret —occasionally overshadowed by the thrill Johnny Suh and his model-like looks make her feel—, and unexpected events.

Finding Mark standing outside Johnny’s room when she’s finally gathered enough courage to make the walk of shame is one of them.

“Tara, don’t forget your-“ Johnny’s playful voice trails off the moment he sticks his head out of the door and notices his bandmate staring at Tara as though he's seen a ghost.

In return, she watches with thinly-veiled satisfaction the way Mark’s face contorts when Johnny fails to hide her lacy bra behind his back. It’s almost comical until she detects a flash of hurt in Mark’s eyes and he clenches his jaw, allowing his hand to ball into a fist before letting an empty laugh that doesn’t quite achieve its purpose because he looks as though he’s going to burst into tears at any moment. That or attempt murdering Johnny, Tara is not too sure.

“So now you're fucking my bandmates?” Mark inquires, eyes glistening as though they contained the entire cosmos inside. Though, in reality, it is not a question, it's a statement. Or rather an accusation.  

Tara finds it completely hypocritical how Mark dares to act offended after publicly ruining her reputation with a song he composed and everybody was quick to assume it had been “inspired” by the relationship —or whatever it was they had— they had tried to hide for months. Tara has been trying to forget about it for weeks and she’s supposedly made up her mind around the fact Mark didn’t deserve her sadness, but seeing him again has her inevitably feeling like she is going to crawl out of her skin.It’s silly how she allows herself to feel so miserable about a boy who wasted no time and found her a replacement in less than a week, but despite any evidence indicating the opposite, Tara has never been good at dealing with her emotions. People have always praised her cool demeanor and strong-willed personality, her entirety and wisdom, but in fact, all she’s done over the years is shoving her feelings deep inside of her, in a place where they didn’t represent a menace to that perfectly and minutely planned life of hers.

Unfortunately, everything is gone by now, and though Tara has even planned what she’d tell Mark when and if he happened to find out about her and Johnny, no amount of planning prepared her to deal with the heaviness of the situation.

Mark, whose eyes were always gentle despite his stupidity and lack of genuine love for Tara, stands motionless, boring imaginary holes into Johnny’s head and looking as though he’d snap at them at the lesser of the provocations.

Even the confident Tara is afraid of speaking because her senses have diverted and she’s currently focused on the smell of sex lingering in the air. She wonders if Mark notices too because he scrunches up his nose and looks at her disgusted, as though he can’t tolerate her presence.  

So in the end, Johnny is the one to speak next.

“This is not about you, Mark-“ He finally says after a silence that stretches enough for Tara to make a double-take and notice how Mark still wears the black t-shirt she bought him for his birthday.

“No, of course not. This is about my backstabbing friend sleeping with the girl I used to-“

Whatever Mark had meant to say next is interrupted by Tara. She’s not too sure if she’s simply trying to protect herself from potentially finding out Mark regarded her as a simple fuck buddy —or less than that—, but she ignores those thoughts, pushing them to the back of her head on behalf of keeping her sanity.

“We’re not doing this,” She says simply, her expression impossible to read. “I am sure the three of us have better things to do.” She adds the last part thinking about the meeting she’s scheduled to have in less than an hour and the fact Johnny is already late for a studio recording session.

Mark opens his mouth to protest, but Tara is quick to turn on her heel, tiptoeing enough to reach Johnny and pull him down for a brief kiss that leaves him looking equally confused as he is satisfied.

“I’ll see you later?” She asks with a sweet smile, as though her ex-boyfriend —or whatever Mark was— wasn’t looking. Johnny has the good sense of nodding his head although he probably knows Tara will turn off her phone and won’t contact him for the next couple of days.

She is predictable like that.

Effectively, Tara is not expecting to see Johnny again any time soon.

But Mark doesn’t need to know that’, Tara thinks to herself as she walks out of NCT’s dorm with a self-sufficient smirk.

This is universally known as a “walk of shame”, but for some reason, Tara has brainwashed herself into believing she’s making her “walk of victory”.

Later the same day, that’s the title Tara gives to the song she manages to complete in record time with the help of Sungjae and that —according to the rest of IMPULSE!—, has the potential to become the next breakup anthem flying to the top of the music charts.

Close To My Heart - Borusara Fanfiction

Hello everyone! This is my submission for Borusara Fanfiction week - day 1. I was supposed to post this one shot last night but due to some mishaps from Tumblr, I wasn't able to. Mind you, this is larger than anything I've written for Borusara, yet excluding my multichapter fics . Actually, you'll find a lot of mistakes here as well, because it was written hastily and no beta-read.

Rated T

Warning - Heavy angst

Summary - "I love you." And he gave a smile so wide that his eyes closed, "--and them too."

Light breeze messes up my hair. Standing atop the Hokage Monument makes a ton of memories flash through my mind. I feel tired. I feel old. The slight wrinkles on my face and grey streaks across my hair do nothing to help.

But still...the memories make me smile.

I remember him being there for me from the beginning. Nothing reminds me that there was a time before it.

"Boruto! Stop messing around."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"You're causing troubling to Nanadaime!"

"Of course, I am. I want him to say sorry to me! I'll beat him someday."

"Heh. As if."

"Hey! Don’t underestimate me! Sarada!"

I remember us talking about our dreams and fears, about what we wanted our future to looks as. And it made my heart beat when I thought of how our goals intertwined with each other’s.

“Thank you... thanks to that I was able to reach my own goals.. so it's really I who should thank you"

"When you become the Hokage, I'll be your right-hand man! I'll guard you well!"

Little laughs and their consistent bantering was a medium to strengthen our bond. We faced different kinds of hardships. But we never faltered. We grew up faster than what our parents wished, thanks to those who wanted to disrupt the era of peace.

We fought. We struggled. We won. And we moved forward.

As the time passed by, our feelings began to change. Our friendship was as strong as ever but something about our dynamics morphed into an uncharted territory.

I realised how broad his shoulders were. His blue eyes... The ones which reflected the entire world were older. He grew tall.

But still there were a few things that still remained the same. His bright blue eyes which made attracted me were same as always. So was his smile, sunny enough to brighten up anything.

After a number of trials and tribulations we achieved peace. And then came an awkward proposal.

...

Sarada panted heavily. Her body trembled with exertion. Damn, he's gotten so strong. But she wasn't the only one tired. He was on his knees gasping for breath as well. Then he looked up, a feral grin upon his face and his eyes shining.

"God, Sarada, marry me."

Sarada rolled her eyes. She had been aware of the fact that their relationship had progressed into an uncharted territory. They have danced around the subject, always finding excuses to evade their feelings. But with the peace and tranquillity back in the land, there were not enough of the good excuses. She knew that.

"I hope you're not drunk this time." She laughed remembering a certain incident when he had proposed her because of being drunk silly.

"I'm not." He said, his voice held strength that churned Sarada's stomach. He was still on one knee when a pulled out a small black velvet box from his pocket and offered her a ring with Ruby on its centre.

"I know I'm not the best guy to be with. I've done things which I shouldn't have. But Sarada, I, I love you, I have loved you for a long time and I don't think I can stop anytime soon. It's still not enough, I know, but...Uchiha Sarada, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife?"

Sarada couldn't breathe. He...he was serious. After a few moments of silence which she was taking to gather herself, she realised he was becoming nervous. The intensity of this proposal and the change that will occur in their lives if she accepted this made her throat dry.

But she raised her hand towards him, smiling the most beautiful smile ever in acceptance.

...

Married life for them wasn't easy, especially with their busy schedules and his trips. They had arguments, broken promises, hurt and struggle.

...

"Hey! Are you ignoring me?!" Boruto yelled in her ear as he swiped the papers off her hands.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sarada screamed, frustrated at him.

"'What the hell is wrong with me?!' I just returned back from a month mission but you're the one ignoring me!"

"Argh! Shut up! Stop whining like a kid, will you?!"

"If you didn't want me home back then I would have stayed there." He said softly before jumping out of the window of her office.

...

But at the end of the day, we would always come together with apologies.

I was happy, with the little things we did for each other. When he would make me breakfast or carry me home after a hard day at work.

Nothing changed between us but yet, everything did.

...

"Sarada, wake up. Or you'll be late for today."

Boruto shook her lightly but she snuggled closer to his warmth, burying her face into his shoulder. 

"No. I'm not going today. I took a break."

A few beats of silence before he yelled, "Really?!"

"Hai."

She let a lazy smile curl upon her lips and he felt his heart soar. 

...

With him, even the laziest mornings were happier and even mundane tasks like grocery shopping was fun.

We'd go out on dates and movies at times, no, not enough like a normal couple would but rather in our own way.

When I was finally appointed as the Hokage, he had the biggest grin on his face.

...

"Hey? Are you okay?"

"I-I don't know Boruto. It's finally happening."

"Yes, it's finally happening. It’s great, right?"

"I am nervous. My dream is about to come true and I don't know how to feel about."

"Sarada. Look at me."

"You've worked so hard for this. You deserve it. Never doubt that."

As her eyes flicked at him, she was overwhelmed with all the love and warmth in his eyes.

The conviction in his voice burned through her conscience, quenching her doubts and demons.

When she stood on the stage, accepting the Cape with pride and reverence, she could feel his spirit seep through herself, illuminating.

...

With Boruto by my side, I felt I could conquer skies. Being a Hokage wasn't easy, but the satisfaction of knowing that he was here was my greatest strength.

But, I forgot, we're shinobis. And shinobis are meant to endure.

...

She had never before experienced this much terror. As far as her eyes would go on the battlefield, there was nothing but a sea of blood and corpses. Her own people were dying and she was utterly helpless.

Her body was littered with fresh wounds and bruises. One of her lungs was punctured and her femur was broken and had torn out of her flesh, making her immobile in such a crucial battle.

"I'm the Hokage! Dammit Sarada! Get up! You have to protect everyone! Shannaro!"

She screamed at herself, as she barely managed to stand only to have her brain burned with searing pain as she collapsed on to the ground. Again. 

"Please move." she sobbed and begged to her body to not give up on her, hoping to get that little amount of strength to get up and fight, but to no avail.

As she saw the enemy forming a large concentrated mass of chakra like bomb, she felt whole body going cold with fear and horror. His aim was Konoha. And it was definitely large enough to obliterate the entire village. Her entire body was paralyzed.

It was over.

And at that moment, a flicker appeared right in front of her and a familiar black cape entered her field of vision.

“Boruto…” tumbled out of her mouth, as if her prayers have been answered. But still, the dread in her heart didn’t ease up. Something was wrong, very wrong.

Suddenly he turned towards her, giving her a brilliant smile, but there was something reflecting in his blue eyes – happiness, pain, sorrow, contentment? She was not even able to name them all. But above everything, his bright blue eyes were shining with determination. But there was something that surpassed even that.

It was love.

His eyes were glowing with love.

“Sarada. Tell my parents that I’m proud to be their son. And tell Hima that I love her. Say thanks from me to Sasuke oji-san and Sakura Oba-san for everything they've done for me. And also let our friends know that I'll think of them.

"B-Boruto?"

"I love you." And he gave a smile so wide that his eyes closed, "--and them too."

And right in front of her eyes, the chakra bomb was released, burning everything in its wake hurtling straight towards Konoha. And Boruto stood right in front of its path, undaunted.

A glowing light blue colour aura enveloped his entire body as he gave her one last smile before vanishing and letting himself be engulfed by the eruption.

Konoha was safe. The earth shattering explosion had never reached it. Boruto had not only suppressed the explosion but also destroyed the enemy.

The battle had ended and they were safe.

But Boruto...

Never returned.

Sarada had been hysterical. No matter how hard Mitsuki had tried to hold her to stop killing herself in a desperation to search for him in the mass of rubble, she wouldn't listen. So, he knocked her out.

The skies had cried that day as she had begged them to return him.

Later, she learned that the incapacitated enemy was brutally murdered by Uzumaki Naruto. ...

When she woke up, a week later, she had begged to see Boruto, knowing that he will not be there. Her father was there, though.

And after being properly fed and bathed, she was informed of something she had never imagined.

She was pregnant.

And it flashed across her mind.

He knew.

He knew that she was pregnant.

His eyes and his words blazed her conscience and she felt herself loosing her sanity.

She clutched her head as the faint shouts of "Sarada!" and "Sarada, sweetie, calm down please." echoed all around her. And then, the darkness enveloped her once again. ...

If there was a time that I could call the darkest period of my life, then it would be that. It hurt more than I could bear. My tears would not come out, no matter how much people wanted me cry.

I had not only lost my husband but also my best friend, my team mate, my rival and my pillar of strength.

I felt so alone that it wounded my heart beyond repair. 

...

During her entire pregnancy, Sasuke didn't leave his daughter's side. He had accepted his prosthetic arm in order to assist her. Sakura regularly checked upon her and looked after her requirements. Maybe it was the constant support and love from her parents and friends that Sarada was able to live through it. 

Sasuke might have been absent for a large part of Sarada's life. But he was here now, never leaving Sarada alone for a moment.

It was one day when Sakura entered their home, she fell straight into Sasuke's arms. 

"What happened, Sakura?" Sasuke rubbed her back in an attempt to ease her up.

"Sasuke. I-I analysed her recent reports. She's...she's pregnant with twins."

There was a thud and Sasuke and Sakura raced to the kitchen only to see Sarada collapsed on the floor. She was clutching her stomach, trembling. 

"He said, he said, 'I love you. And them too.' He knew. He knew that I was going to have twins and he still left me?! Why?!" She screamed at her parents as they looked upon her with sympathy and pity. 

"Papa! Mama! What did I do to deserve this?!" 

Sakura gathered a devastated Sarada in her arms, running her fingers through her hair and Sasuke crouched down as well, wrapping his arms around both of them. 

"Sarada." His voice was heavy. "Boruto did everything he could to save you and his children. He didn't want to leave you. Remember that, child."

...

Mitsuki and Chouchou would always visit me regularly and everyone else would definitely drop by once a week. 

Sometimes, I would remember that I'm not the only one who had lost someone important to me. They all have lost their sun. The man who inspired them to move forward and give their all. They had lost the person whom they viewed as a personification of courage. 

... 

In a few weeks’ time, Sarada grew larger. And sadly, to her parents' concern, her condition deteriorated. Her feet were swollen and her eyes looked sunken. Her pale skin had turned even paler.

Unlike Sakura, who glowed when she was pregnant, Sarada was a broken mess. 

One day, Hinata Uzumaki rang their doorbell. 

"I'm sorry Sarada. I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed someone. But don't worry. I'm here now."

Her lavender eyes shine with warmth as if trying to placate not only Sarada but herself as well. 

... 

Boruto's death had left a gaping hole in the Uzumaki family as well. If there was someone who was hurt as much as I was, it was Tou-san Naruto.

The man was shattered and devastated more than he let on at the death of his son. Every moment of his life was spent cursing himself for his failure in protecting his child. He had changed a lot since the incident, becoming an empty shell of his former self. He had resumed his position of the Hokage again as Sarada was is no condition to do so.

His smiles did not hold its usual glow but rather turned damper. His words were still inspiring but now they sounded hollow.

And the entire Konoha was aware of these changes now.

…

During the last trimester of her pregnancy, Sarada was bed ridden. Her vitals were getting weaker by each passing day and it became frustratingly hard for her parents and Hinata to feed her any solid food.

As merciless rain striked against the ground, Naruto moved lethargically to the hospital to see his daughter-in-law. He froze dead in his tracks when he saw Sakura hunched over her knees, sobbing beneath a tree.

“Sakura-chan?!” he exclaimed, wrapping his cloak around her to shield her from the harsh rain.  

“N-Naruto…” she sobbed, burying her face into his shoulder.

“Sakura-chan! Are you okay?!...Is it about Sarada-chan? Or the babies?” despite everything he could not hide the tremble in his voice.

“S-Sarada’s health is getting worse with each passing day. I’m scared Naruto. I’m scared. What if she doesn’t survive childbirth?”

Naruto felt his whole body going numb. First his son and now his daughter-in-law. Life has never been kind to him. Everything he held dear was always taken away from him.

“I-I’ll-save her. You can count on me.” The faltering in his voice turned into something a little more determined, just a glimpse of the conviction he had always known to display. He refused to lose anyone he loved ever again. He might have failed Boruto but he will definitely protect Sarada, Himawari and his grandchildren.

He’s not going to give up! Not now! Not ever!

And Sakura felt ease in some corner of her mind.

...

Those days were scary. Even when I had so many people by my side, none of them were capable of filling up the void left behind in my heart because of Boruto.

I can faintly remember the first kicks of my babies. Back then. My mind was so muddled that it all felt unnecessary to notice and cherish, but I do regret the past.

…

Finally, the day came. Sarada went into labour a day earlier than expected, but Sakura was completely prepared. The entire lobby was filled with friends and well-wishers, all of them anxious. Naruto was there along with Sasuke outside as well, his senses completely trained on Sarada’s fluctuating chakra, ready to use his abilities to stabilise her life force if necessary.

“Sarada. Calm down sweetie. You’re going to be fine.” As her eyes flicked over the monitor displaying Sarada’s vitals, she wondered if she was saying this to reassure herself or her daughter.

After a labour period that lasted for about hard twenty four hours, surrounded by her mother and her best team as well as Hinata, she finally gave birth to two infants.

A boy and a girl.

The boy was her first born, older that his sister by ten minutes, born with a tuft of black hair and eyes in the same shade as hers. Onyx of his Uchiha grandfather.

Her daughter, the younger of the two, was a baby with golden hair and eyes that resembled her father so much that it made everyone shiver.

When Sakura and Hinata handed her over both the babies, the tears that had been held back for so long poured out freely. She clutched her infants to her chest carefully, relishing their warmth and existence.

At that moment she understood her father’s words more than she ever had.

‘Because you exist.’ The man had said.

“Yes, because you both exist.” She whispered this in her head over and over. Knowing that they were both a token a love from Boruto.

...

That day I realised that I had to live. For my children. They had already lost their father. I couldn’t abandon them. They deserved the love and support of at least one parent. And their presence slowly, but definitely filled the hole in my heart.

…

“Yuriki Uchiha.”

Sarada proudly declared, holding her son close as she nuzzled her baby softly. Then she bent down to scoop her daughter from the crib and rested the sleeping infant against her chest, smiling lovingly.

“Aiko Uzumaki.”

“Those are beautiful names.” Mitsuki smiled as he stepped forward and held his arms out to take Yuriki from his mother, who was curiously looking all around.

“Courage and love.”

Sarada spent next five years raising her children with the help of her parents and friends. They would question about their father just like any other child would. People told them to be proud of the legacy their father was but Sarada’s heart ached knowing that they’ll never know the person there father was. They’ll never know about his pranks, or his stubbornness except for the stories that their Grandma Hinata and Aunt Himawari would tell them.

Weirdly enough, her father was closer to Aiko whereas Naruto was closer to Yuriki. She never understood the reason behind that but they both were merry and doting grandfathers.

Raising twins was not an easy task, especially when you’re a single mother. There were times when she would be at wit’s end but one call would be enough to get Himawari to her rescue. The children had a strong bond with their aunt. Sarada knew that Himawari wanted to be the light in their life what Boruto what in hers.

It warmed Sarada’s heart.

…

I remember a particular day when we had went on a trip to the nearby park. Yuriki was pushing his sister on the swing and she was giggling. And then it suddenly hit me out of nowhere. Yuriki, despite, his black eyes and hair looked so much like Boruto that I had lost my breath. And Aiko, had inherited her daddy’s blue eyes, which nostalgically were bluer than her father.

Both of my babies had inherited so much their dad that it made my heart throb.

…

“Mommy?”

“Yes, Aiko. Do you need more noodles?” Sarada asked, as she cleaned the counter. Both of her children had demanded noodles today. Her brother was still at the dining waiting for the dessert.

“No.”

“Is there anything else you need?”

“Did…did daddy love us?”

Sarada felt her heart crack at her daughter’s words. Her hands wouldn’t move but she was also aware for her son’s gaze at her back, paying attention to her reply.

‘I love you…and them too.’

Sarada crouched in front of her daughter, also signalling her son to come closer. She placed her hands on their shoulder pulling them closer to herself.

“He did. You two, he loved you, a lot.”

More than you’ll ever know.

Her fingers raised and poked her children right in the middle of their foreheads.

…

After they turned five, Naruto stepped down and Sarada resumed her duties as a Hokage once again. Her children were adored by the entire village and were spoiled by their overly doting grandparents and Aunt.

Another figures they loved were – Grandpa Kakashi and Grandpa Iruka.

Those two men held them close, babysat the little devil duo and bought them treats. They also educated them in ways of life. It was thanks to them that her children turned out to be just like their father – mischievous and stubborn but with a golden heart.

Aiko had definitely taken up on Boruto’s mischievous streak whereas Yuriki was much milder in comparison. Together, the pranks they played made their grandpas tear their hair out.

The earned them the nick name – ‘the devil duo.’

Sarada, at times felt that Boruto would be so proud of them.

…

Sometime later I realised that Yuriki had wind chakra and sharinghan, whereas Aiko could use lightening and was a possessor of byakugan. Both of her children were blessed with potent chakra and powerful and a keen mind, and they soon gained fame as formidable shinobis in later life.

When they turned twelve, Aiko declared that she wanted to be a Hokage in future and I felt my heart swell with elation. Her daughter aimed big. Yuriki was not sure but I knew that he still had plenty of time.

At the age of sixteen, they faced their hardest battle, being targeted for their rare lineage and their influential families, Yuriki had no other choice but to unleash his mangekyo in order to protect his sister after their team mate had died.

When they returned home back, the first thing he said to me was that now he knew what he wanted to be.

“I want to be like dad.”

He had said. Proud of his father and the sacrifices that he had made in order to safe guard the village and his family. Yuriki saw his dad as a symbol of peace, strength and courage. And it made Sarada content.

Well…

Time has passed, and with intense hard work, I’m sure that they have made their father proud.

The reason , I’m standing here at the top the Hokage monument currently is to finally take a moment of peace and live it.

Today, Aiko was inaugurated as the tenth Hokage, with her brother by her side and both of them complete with their families.

And I had literally been never prouder.

My children were my hope and joy, and Boruto’s memories had continued to guide me down the right path. His way of living inspired me to become not only a better person but also a better parent.

After my parents and my in laws left the realm of living, it was a struggle, but their love and teachings always surrounded me and my children like a warm blanket.

If there is something I learned being alive it’s that-

Life is completely unpredictable, cruel to happiness and kind to sorrow. And fate is a mighty river – which at times, would flow gently and calmly, nurturing life. But sometimes, it would be raging and brutal, not hesitating to destroy the same life it had nurtured.

All she understood was that the only way to live was that you can get up, look ahead and move forward.  

…

It was night when she entered the cemetery. She kneeled in front his grave and brushed her fingers against the cool marble, letting it seep through her skin.

“My work is done here. I want to see you again, Boruto, please.”

She leaned her forehead against the stone, breathing in the nightly scent.

“It’s been so long, you know, but I still…”

Her voice was drenched in emotion when she whispered.

“I still hold you close to my heart.”

…

The next day, Keito Uchiha and Yuki Uzumaki found their grandma, hunched over their grandfather’s grave, body cold and eyes closed, but even then, the most prominent feature on her face was her peaceful angelic smile.

I'd really like to know what you all thought  this story, except that it feels rushed, because I already know that it is. though, I've really worked hard for it. I really hope that at least a fraction of my efforts was visible.

And sorry for dropping this as 4k one shot all of sudden. Hahaha! It was fun to write!

Description:

From New York Times Bestselling Fitness Author John Romaniello, comes your chance to…

Specifically Designed To Remove Those Last Few Stubborn Pounds, Destroy Fat On Your Trouble Spots, and Build Lean, Dense Muscle In Just Six Short Weeks…

NYT Bestselling Author & Fitness Expert

Okay, so I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.

The good news is that I know you. We’ve never met, but I bet I know a lot about you.

I know that you’re probably in decent shape. That you’ve been around the gym a while, and know how to exercise; that you’re not really some newbie who doesn’t know a dumbbell from a doorknob.

I also know that despite that experience, you’re still struggling. That despite the fact you might be in “good” shape, you can’t seem to get into GREAT shape.

I know that no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to lose that last bit of stubborn weight, those few pounds of fat that are keeping you from getting your ideal body; what I call your OMEGA body.

And I know that you—and thousands of others just like you—are frustrated beyond reason that no matter how hard you try, no matter what diet you use or how often you exercise…

…you just can’t seem to lose those last 5-10 pounds.

Yeah. That’s the GOOD news.

The BAD news is that most people in your situation will NEVER lose those pounds. Most people will NEVER go from good to great. Most people will struggle for YEARS to lose the last bit of fat, until they finally give up.

Simply put, the bad news is that the vast majority of people will never achieve their OMEGA body; they’re never get to see the “final” version of their physique, fully developed and without the extra flab.

And I’m going to tell you how YOU can be in the minority. How YOU can be in the 1%. How YOU can lose those stubborn pounds and unveil that Omega body.

If you’re like me, I bet you have. And, chances are, you’ve looked everywhere for an answer.

You’ve spent the money on all the magazines, scoured every article on the Internet…but you’re more confused by all the conflicting advice.

So-called “experts”—everyone from bodybuilders to overweight personal trainers to your one friend who lost 30 pounds so automatically knows what they’re talking about—tell you it’s actually easy…

…that all it comes down to is energy balance – simple – and that you just need to “move more” and “eat less.”

Well, they’re wrong. It’s not easy. Sure, energy balance is a real factor…but the idea that you can just move more and eat less to get into killer shape has a FATAL flaw (which I’ll cover in detail below).

Then there are the Celebrity Doctors promoting juice cleanses, specialty berries, and skin creams. You know…those “miracle” supplements that are supposed to suppress your appetite, rev up your metabolism, and eliminate fat…

…while you sit on the couch and tune in so the Doc can pitch you on something else.

Obviously, those are BS. But, if you feel like there’s just 5-10 pounds separating you from your dream body…well, who can blame you for rolling the dice on something that maybe—just maybe—can have 0.0035% impact?

I get it. Like I said, I know you.

You watch what you eat, you workout hard 3-4 times a week, and you’re taking all the right supplements.

Why is that the “scary” thing? Because even though you’re doing all the things you’re SUPPOSED TO, the love handles are still there, your pants are still tight, and you’re still UNCOMFORTABLE taking your shirt off.

Have you ever just looked in the mirror and wondered what MORE should you be doing?

I know I have. And I can tell you from experience, it’s a really awful feeling. And it’s not one I wish on anyone.

Truly, I don’t want you to feel stuck. I don’t want you to hate your body or feel ashamed because of the way you look.

I’m going to layout the top 3 reasons People Can’t Lose The Last Bit of Fat……And Show You EXACTLY How To Fix Them

And in doing so, I’ll explain why the constant struggle to get your body in a fat burning mode is actually shutting down your metabolism and sabotaging your progress.

…perhaps you’re wondering: who the hell is this guy, and why should I listen to him?

You’re absolutely right; that’s a great question—and I apologize for not introducing myself sooner. Let’s get that part out of that way.

I’m John Romaniello, but everyone calls me Roman. I’m a fitness expert and New York Times bestselling author. I’ve been in the fitness industry for about 13 years, and written hundreds of articles about fat loss, nutrition, muscle building, and how to lose the last few pounds. I’ve been on TV talking about those same things.

I also serve on the advisory board for dozens of the largest fitness companies in the world—in fact, I’m even the Head of the Fitness Advisory Board for some guy named Arnold Schwarzenegger…who also wrote the foreword for my bestseller.

Chances are, if you’ve picked up a fitness magazine in the past decade or so, you’ve probably seen me or read something I’ve written.

Now, I’m not telling you any of this to impress you; I’m just trying to impress upon you that I know a thing or two about this fitness stuff.

But if you’re trying to decide if you can trust me, ignore all of that. Forget the books and the magazines and TV stuff. The only thing you need to know is that my goal is to help people lose those last few pounds…

…and that I’ve helped thousands of people do just that. And I can help you, too.

As a coach and a trainer, I’ve done it all. I’ve worked with professional athletes, actors, record producers, famous DJs…

But mainly I’ve worked with a ton of “regular” people just like you, and helped all of them hit their goal, no matter what those were.

From packing 20 pounds of muscle onto a skinny vegetarian, to getting a life long couch potato to lose over 83 pounds in just 5 months, to creating the Number ONE program for helping people lose the last few pounds, I’ve spent the last 12 years helping people change their lives and bodies.

I Feel Better, Stronger, and my body fat has dropped to 5.3%! I really can’t say enough about this.

And…perhaps most importantly… I’m just like you.

You see, I wasn’t always in great shape. In fact, I spent the first two-thirds of my life being in terrible shape. I was never completely obese. But I was definitely in BAD shape.

Here are some words people used to use to describe me: Soft. Doughy. Thick. Pudgy. Chubby. Chunky. Fluffy.

…but no matter how hard I trained or how well I ate, I could never seem to get from being in “good” shape to having the body I wanted.

I could never achieve that lean, ripped, dense look I saw in the magazines.

And I could never figure out why. I felt like I was doing everything right. My diet was in order. I hit the gym consistently. I even took the right supplements.

Nothing worked…not really. I wasn’t about to resort to illegal steroids, so I resigned myself to being in “pretty good” shape, and never having the body I wanted.

This went on for about two years.

One day, I came across a study linking something called insulin resistance to regional fat storage. SPECIFICALLY, the study said that people with “poor insulin management” tended to store fat…in their LOVE HANDLES.

This was exactly my problem. Even though I could get lean almost everywhere else, I still had tons of flub on my waistline and lower back.

I began to think could it really be insulin that was keeping me soft?

And if it was how could other hormones affect fat loss? Or muscle gain? Or fitness in general!?

That was when my quest began.

I made it my goal to learn everything I could about hormones, regional fat storage, and how your basic endocrinology is PREVENTING YOU from losing those few pounds of fat.

I read studies, and books. I came up with new training methods and tried them on all of my clients. I tested and re-tested things.

Eventually, I came up with a system that I believed would completely FIX all of these issues.

With summer coming up, there was only one thing to do: test it.

Believe me: to this DAY it’s still unreal to me that I could ever look like that. But I did. And I do.

And so can you, if you do what I did: harness the power of your hormones. Follow a program that FORCES your body to burn fat instead of trying to store it.

But don’t take my word for it! Because, really, it’s not just me that the program worked for. Just ask any of my clients, who have all done the “impossible”….

I would absolutely recommend working with Roman to anyone and everyone. It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and I promise you will not regret it.

As soon as I got my hands on the program, I was anxious to hit the gym and get my fat Loss progress back on track. And guess what? It worked like magic.

Everything about my body is completely different.

My clients get exceptional results. But the truth is, they’re not “exceptional” specimens, in the pure physical sense.

They have the same limitations you do. They have jobs, and families, and trouble spots. They’re limited by time and genetics and physiology. And yet they STILL get amazing results.

Which means that you can, too.

Anytime I start talking about my clients and the amazing success they’ve achieved, I always want to be clear and say that what sets my clients apart is not working “harder”…it’s working smarter.

You see, my clients don’t just train to “burn fat” or “build muscle.” They don’t just train to be “in shape.” My clients follow a strategic plan designed for the express purpose of obtaining their OMEGA bodies.

Speaking in strict linguistic terms Omega—styled as “Ω” is the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet.

In literature and other artistic representations, Omega is used to denote the last, final, complete, or ultimate limit of a set of object, concepts or principles. (This is in contrast to “Alpha”, which represents the beginning.)

I’ve always loved the general symbolism of that. To me—and my clients—the Omega body is the final body; the finished body.

Your Omega body is exactly that: your final form. It’s the body you have in your most developed, fittest state.

You’ve reached Omega Status when you’ve built all the muscle you want, and have stripped away the last bits of excess fat to reveal the lean, hard, sexy definition underneath.

THAT is your Omega body. And that is exactly what I’m going to help you achieve. To do that, let’s look at why getting it is so hard…why so many people just keep spinning their wheels and NEVER get that Omega Body they’re after.

As I see it, it comes down to three main problems…

You’ve tried everything. Bodybuilding splits, CrossFit, more cardio, less cardio and yet nothing seems to work.

I feel your pain…and I want you to know it’s not your fault. The amount of misinformation and confusion makes it very difficult for someone to stay consistent and actually find something that works.

For example, let’s look at your typical bodybuilding split: you’ve got Chest on Monday, Back on Tuesday, Shoulders on Wednesday etc…

Now, I love those programs. They’re fun. And they’re great for building size. But they ARE NOT optimal for fat loss—especially those last few pounds.

And yet, whenever I go a gym, I see men and women doing these outdated splits in an effort to get lean!

If you only train a body part once a week you risk the potential to build quality muscle and shed fat. Doing one muscle group on Monday and waiting until the following week is only going to slow down your progress. The overall volume is too low and because the focus tends to be on isolation movements the calorie reduction isn’t significant enough for maximum results.

For another example, take traditional Low Intensity Steady State cardio (LISS). Those are the 1-2 hour cardio sessions where you’re plodding around on a treadmill watching the clock tick by, bored out of your mind. The problem is you have limited time AND….

You’ve probably questioned the amount of time that is necessary to spend on the elliptical or treadmill. Hours upon hours are spent yet the end result is NOT a thin, slim midsection. In most cases it might be the exact opposite.

Doing Low Intensity Steady State cardio (LISS) can be very boring and most likely not even close to fun. It’s not something many people look forward to when it comes to working out. Throw in the fact that you have the potential to lose muscle mass, completely sabotaging your end goal. This just doesn’t make sense for you and your goals.

If there’s one thing I know about cutting body fat it’s that you must start with a tried and true, proven blueprint.

There are thousands of ways to lose those last few pounds and after working with celebrities, athletes, fitness models, moms, and the average gym goer I’ve been able to accumulate all of my research, results and failures by putting it into a proven system that WORKS.

It’s a plan that forces your body into a muscle building, fat burning zone…

If you’ve been around the fitness game for a while, you probably know about MRT, or Metabolic Resistance Training. If not, it’s basically doing rapid-paced weight-training circuits.

Without getting too far into the science, it’s been shown over and over and over again to be the most effective exercise for burning fat. Not only does MRT burn a lot of calories…it also increases your metabolism, allowing you to CONTINUE burning fat long after you’ve left the gym.

The problem with traditional MRT, though, is that it’s limited. Sure, it’s great for burning fat…

…but because you tend to use lighter weights, it can also make you weaker! When you go back to heavy training, you’ve got to play “catch-up.”

On top of that, traditional MRT is not designed with hormonal optimization in mind. And as we touched on above (and will cover in detail below), hormonal optimization is the KEY to getting that Omega body.

Omega MRT solves this. You see, instead of just “fast-paced weight-training circuits”, the Omega Body Blueprint uses FOUR distinctly different types of training.

Each one of these training modalities will help you burn fat…

…but is also designed with specific goals in mind. Some of them keep you strong (preventing the need to “catch-up” later), some help bring out muscle definition…

…and ALL of them train your body to release specific fat burning hormones that fight against that stubborn fat.

REMEMBER: stubborn fat is a direct result of individual hormones—Omega MRT is designed to address that directly.

What you eat plays a vital role in achieving the look you want. It’s especially crucial when you’re trying to eliminate the last annoying 5-10 pounds.

The problem is there is so much misinformation leading to confusion and more weight gain.

You’ve heard this before. Many trainers, dieticians, and even DOCTORS are telling you to evenly space out your meals in order to speed up your metabolism and keep it fired up throughout the day.

When it comes to eating, if you digest 3000 calories in 6 meals or 3 meals it still remains 3000 calories.

At the end of the day, if you are in a deficit, regardless of how you get there, you’ll start to see the magic happen.

If that’s not enough, research has been changing over the last decade suggesting just this.

In fact, I’ve got not one (1) but two (2) studies which illustrate that it doesn’t matter HOW many meals you eat—as long as the calories are the same, you can eat 2 meals or 10 and it won’t make a difference.

On top of all of this, it can be extremely difficult planning out six meals a day. Preparing, packing, carrying and maintaining this can be too difficult and not feasible.

Once again inexperienced trainers, poorly written articles and magazines have suggested you stop eating carbohydrates after 6 pm.

The theory behind this idea stems from the fact that you’ll be going to bed so your metabolism will slow down while your sleeping thus storing those carbohydrates as fat rather than utilizing it as energy. It’s also worth noting that it’s assumed insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance can be affected.

This study (3) took 78 over-weight police officers and placed them into either an experiment group (evening carbohydrate consumption) or a control group over a six-month period.

Greater weight loss, abdominal circumference, and body fat mass reductions were observed in the group that ate carbohydrates at night compared to the control group.

There is nothing about nighttime that suggests it’s time your metabolism slows down and starts storing carbohydrates as fat.

Listen, eating natural, whole, unprocessed foods is obviously good for you.

And, yes, it’s unassailably better to eat a diet that is loaded with nutrients and provide your body with what it needs to function properly than one loaded with crap.

The problem is that people have been conditioned to think they need to eat nothing but salads, seeds, and tofu in order to get lean.

The thought of having to transform your pantry and kitchen to that of a co-op can be disheartening to many people with good intentions of getting in shape.

Here’s the truth: eating all organic foods doesn’t AUTOMATICALLY make you lean.

More importantly: it doesn’t matter how “certified” these foods are—if you eat too much of them, you will get fat.

My point is, organic foods are awesome; they’re just not the end-all, be-all when it comes to dieting.

In fact, it’s possible to strategically place the foods you enjoy into your overall diet and still get unbelievable results.

When done properly, you can use this strategy to elicit crucial fat burning hormones that will help boost your metabolism and accelerate your fat loss.

Taking into account all of the misinformation paralysis by analysis it’s finally nice to see a solution that WILL work for you…

Anyone who’s been on a structured fitness program can tell you that nutrition is BY FAR the larger piece of the puzzle.

If you want to get your Omega body, you need to avoid all the mistakes laid out in the lies above, and really focus on the important stuff.

Omega Nutrition focuses on a few things:

Rather than force you to eat a certain number of meals each day, employing a flexible IF strategy allows you to eat WHEN you want, and as often as you want.

Not only does this make it easier for you to make progress and adhere to the plan, it’s also incredibly effective from a hormonal perspective. It’s been shown that periods of fasting help you control ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and improve insulin sensitivity.

In the context of dieting, cycling means that certain aspects of your nutrition are modified on specific days, based on activity.

There are a lot of ways to do this, but all of them have this in common: you eat more calories and carbs on certain days than others.

The primary reason for this is energy utilization and recovery. To put in the most succinct way possible, you need to take in more energy on days you expend more energy.

Apart from helping you look awesome, there are some other advantages as well: researches at Louisiana State University found in a 2005 study that calorie cycling prolongs your life; this conclusion was further supported by researched conducted by the National Institute of Health in 2008.

In short, calorie cycling is going to help you lose fat while you gain muscle, optimize your hormones, and live longer. Not bad, if you ask me.

These are just a few of the principles upon which Omega Nutrition is founded—and these, combined with others, make it insanely effective for losing those last few pounds.

These hidden gremlins tend to cause a lot of problems for the unknowing person. Your hormones are the key to solving a plethora of issues when it comes to losing weight.

Or worse, doing permanent damage with ill-conceived crash diets and poorly designed programs (that may not have been designed for YOU) that is difficult and sometimes impossible to reverse.

Ask yourself: do you ever feel tired, sore, fatigued, exhausted, irritated and hungry even though you haven’t done a thing all day? Do you wonder why your energy has plummeted and your appetite has increased?

If you feel any of this you might suffer from the following:

These are just a few of the primary hormones that can alter your body composition. These can be so problematic essentially giving you no chance to see results. Thankfully there is a solution….

It’s not enough to just “eat right and exercise.” Reaching your Omega body requires a specific strategy. It’s about doing the right things at the right time…and that means training and nutrition have to match up.

By strategically pairing specific training methods with the right dietary eating patterns, you can create a one-two punch for your endocrine system.

For example, something like “density training” can be used to increase testosterone and decrease estrogen, allowing you to fight against lower body fat…

…but if you pair a density workout with a high carb feeding, it will ALSO allow you to build dense, lean muscle while you do it!

The Omega Body Blueprint is designed entirely around the principles of hormonal optimization for fat loss – and that’s why it’s the only program that will allow you to achieve your Omega body.

I love how I look and how I feel about myself. I owe a huge part of that to Roman. Thanks to him, I’m fitter, leaner, and stronger, which all leads to crazy confidence.

… the most important thing was how his programs educated and taught me how to continue that same level of training and fitness on my own.

I am a Strength and Conditioning Coach and am always trying to get better. For me to say that John educated me [tremendously] in my own trade.. is impressive.

No way. You need to they combine various aspects of many different types of training and incorporate the best of each to break through plateaus and allow you to burn that stubborn fat.

If you want that look, this program is not for you. But I know that isn’t the case. I know you want to have a lean, sexy, firm body. Not just a tight, flat tummy, but also toned arms and legs that give the image of confidence and capability. Sexy on a whole new level.

If you’re trying to lose the weight, whether it’s 20 pounds to drop a few sizes, or the last few to get your ideal beach body, why not use the best stuff available?

And yes, I am biased. But I don’t have a bias towards my programs just because I wrote them.

I’m biased towards this program because it works the FASTEST.

You see, I hate dieting and trying to lose fat just as much as you do (believe me), so if something worked faster or better, I’d just as easily use and recommend that.

The fact is, I spent years trying other methods, learning from them, and making them better.

So yes, I have an anti-fat bias. The Omega Body Blueprint is the result of that bias.

In fact, I’ll fill you in on…

This manual covers the complete training theory and all TWENTY FOUR Hormonal Response Training™ workouts included in the program. That’s 6 full weeks of programming and training, all in once place.

And, to be fair, I think that’s an incredible value for what I deliver. However, you’re not going to pay anywhere NEAR that, and you’re going to get so, so much more…

Keeping records is vitally important – the single best way to progress is to know what to increase and what to decrease. The problem is, this can sometimes be a pain.

To make things easier and more user friendly, I’ve had these workout charts professionally designed so that each and every workout has it’s own chart, completely detailed with what exercises to do, how many sets, how many reps, and even some notes. Just print one out, bring it to the gym, and you’re good to go!

When it comes to nutrition, it’s not just about what you eat; it’s about when and how much. Well, the Omega Nutrition Calculator is going to take care of all of that.

The calculator will tell you exactly what amounts to eat, and how to spread them out based on your personal preferences.

Anyone who knows anything about fitness can tell you that nutrition is by FAR the larger piece of the fat loss puzzle. That’s why no matter how awesome the workout in OBB are, you need some guidance when it comes to your diet if you really want to build your Omega Body.

To that end, I’ve put down ALL of my theories on nutrition in one place; everything I know about eating for fat loss, hormonal optimization, and health in one place.

Supplements are an iffy part of the fitness industry. Some are fantastic, and others are complete crap—knowing which is which is the hard part. Thankfully, it’s part of my job. I’ll be honest and say that if you have the right stuff and use it the right way, supplements can definitely accelerate your progress.

And so in this guide, I’ve outlined the ones that will help you meet your goals, and give you a rundown of which to stay away from—incredibly helpful for getting results without wasting money!

There’s an old saying that if you fail to plan, you can plan to fail. Well, I’ve taken every step to make sure that doesn’t happen to you – and I want you to do the same.

To that end, I’ve created the Omega Body Blueprint quick-start check list – just go through the list before you start—it details EVERYTHING you need to get started with the program on the right foot.

Think of it like the Cliff’s Notes version of the manuals. With this, you’ll be playing with cheat codes.

The Omega Body Blueprint System can work for any man or women of any age…

…HOWEVER: It’s NOT for everybody.

Listen. This is good stuff. But like anything that serves a specific purpose and is of high caliber, it’s not for everyone.

I have no desire to see you waste your time and money if OBB won’t benefit you the way it has helped the people you see on this page. It’s that simple.

So here’s the truth: The Omega Body Blueprint melts stubborn body fat unlike anything else…BUT it is not the answer for people who’re lazy, unmotivated or are looking for the easy way out. Those people can continue wasting their time, energy and money on useless gadgets, overhyped trends, and insane “miracle” supplements that over promise and under deliver.

Personally, I believe you’re smarter than that. And I KNOW if you’re willing to put in the work, follow the instructions, and invest just a little time, The Omega Body Blueprint will transform your body like nobody’s business…without spending your life in the gym or preparing fancy meals.

BUT: if you’re just going to buy this system and let it just sit there with everything else on your computer, please don’t bother wasting your time.

YOU have to be willing to take some action; otherwise you’ll just keep being frustrated, keep spinning your wheels…and keep hating your body.

That’s obviously not the future I want for you, but it’s certainly the one you’ll face…unless you decide to do something about right now.

One final thing: I designed the The Omega Body Blueprint system to be simple… but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be EASY. It’s hard. The workouts are tough, and you have to consistent.

But I’ve done everything I can to make things are simple as possible: everything is laid out for you in a step-by-step blueprint that anyone can follow, and get results like Josh…

Great question. The first thing you need to know about me is that I don’t do this for the money. I just want to help people. And, to be honest, I’m sick of people charging too much for too little.

With Omega, I wanted to make sure ANYONE who wants to end their frustration with having stubborn body fat and NEEDED to lose those last few pounds could afford this system.

At the same time, I DO have my business and my family to think of, so I can’t give it away for free, or even charge this insanely discounted price forever.

So I’ve come up with a compromise: I’m going to offer a 90% discount on The Omega Body Blueprint for almost a week to celebrate the launch. But Friday at midnight, the price nearly

TRIPLES.

Personally, I think that’s fair: if gives people like you—action takers who are ready to make a change—the opportunity to get an amazing program for an extremely low entry point. And it allows me to charge a fair price for my services going forward.

Since this is an ebook (and not an expensive hardcover book, like my New York Times bestseller), I can provide you with instant access to everything you need in one easy-to-use spot and a super low price. I don’t have to worry about shipping, printing, or paying back the advance from my publisher.

The only thing I need to consider is getting you the product as quickly as possible, and providing the most value I can.

Remember, I’m not some newbie trainer at your local gym who doesn’t know his shit. I’m a bestselling author and advisor to HUGE fitness companies, and I’ve been perfecting these exact methods over the past 12 years.

All of which is to say that for the time being, I’m happy to offer the discounted price, and leave this sale running until FRIDAY at midnight. But I’m also doing something special to assuage any remaining doubts of skepticism, and remove ALL risk form you.

Without question, I believe OBB is the best program on the market, and I know you’ll be amazed at the level of detail and the quality of the information. Every component of OBB has been laid out step-by-step to ensure the fastest results possible.

With The Omega Body Blueprint, I know you’ll see results in just a few days. And by the end of the 6-week program, those last few pounds will be a memory.

But the best thing is this: as long as you stay committed to the concepts of the program, the results will last for LIVE.

When you pick up OBB, you’re becoming a valued member of the Roman Fitness Systems community. And we take that very seriously. My company prides itself on service, so if for WHATEVER reason you have an issue, just hit us up and we’ll help you right away.

This means you can actually use and apply all the unique transformation strategies and start losing those last few pounds with ZERO risk. If you’re not blown away AFTER you take action and get results, you can get your money back.

Again, to celebrate the new release of The Omega Body Blueprint, I’m offering the entire system at INSANELY low launch price. But please keep in mind that I can only keep that price active for the launch week…

So make sure you order now and lock in the launch price special while you can

I won’t lie to you: of course you can. It’s possible…but at what cost? How much more time are you willing to waste before you actually get to where you want to be?

As I see it, you have two choices…

This is what you’ve been doing in the past: trying to figure it out all on your own, or listening to the same trite advice from the same bad sources. You’ve done it before, maybe with moderate success.

I mean, hell, you could even stumble across your own system that rips fat off your body in 6 weeks. Stranger things have happened.

So yes, you could essentially do it yourself. It is POSSIBLE.

But ask yourself: if that was going to work…wouldn’t it have worked already?

If you do choose to go this route, be prepared to put forth a lot of blood, sweat, and tears while wasting what is a lot of valuable time—time you could be spending enjoying your new body.

I’m giving you a proven “short-cut to success” so you don’t have to struggle to find out what works like I did.

Make no mistake: I really WANT you to succeed. I want you to wow your friends with your new, hot body. I want you to feel what I felt at that party—because it was awesome, and it will be for you, too.

With this program, I’ve laid it all out there—the exact program that has been responsible for hundreds of my own personal clients finally losing those last stubborn pounds and achieving lean, sexy bodies that they can be extremely proud of.

And that’s why I’m offering The ENTIRE Omega Body Blueprint system for less than a third of the actual price during the launch.

If at any point over the course of the next 30 days you are not satisfied with your investment in The Omega Body Blueprint, just let me know and I’ll refund your money—all of it. Even the money I was going to use to pay my employees. You get it all back.

Am I that confident The Omega Body Blueprint is going to work? Damn right I am.

I’m giving you a full four weeks to evaluate the entire program, you don’t believe OBB is the most kick-ass fat loss program you’ve ever come across, you pay nothing.

That really IS the best I can do. Seriously. It’s the best anyone can do.

If you still have some doubts, lemme just take a second to give you a reality check: if you keep doing exactly what you’re doing right now, your body is going to look exactly the same. Period.

If you don’t change something, you’ll look the same next week, next month, next year…until age takes over and you look worse.

But until then, if you don’t make a change, your clothes will fit the same, and you’ll still feel just as bad wearing them.

The Omega Body Blueprint is the perfect way to make that change.

Remember, although all of the aggravation, frustration, and wasted time you’ve experienced hasn’t been your fault, now that you know the truth, it’s your responsibility to take action.

If you continue to use outdated, generic diets and programs—you know, the ones that you’ve been doing and that haven’t gotten you anywhere?—you’ll only make it harder to lose those final few pounds and unveil your OMEGA body in the long run.

I know this, because I’ve helped thousands upon thousands of people all over the world regain their confidence and live their lives with the body of their dreams.

Just like you, with The Omega Body Blueprint, they were able to discover:

Simply by applying the same step-by-step principles that all of my clients—including all the people on this page have—you can absolutely change your body.

And that is what I want for you.

So, go ahead. Take action.

If so, click here right now to order the sure-fire training system that is going to get you to that coveted position– to that elusive stage of physical fitness that separates most people from their goals.

Keep in mind, I offer a 100% risk-free, money back guarantee. If you think it’s too good to be true, let me prove you wrong.

The Omega Body Blueprint is a rapid fat loss training program that uses the most effective training styles in the world to help you lose fat—not only from your body as a whole, but ALSO from your problem areas.

It’s comprised of scientifically designed workouts that take into account everything from staying ahead of your body’s adaptation curve in order to balance hormones.

This allows Omega to counter-act your your body’s fat storage patterns.

Absolutely! You see, problem areas exist because of hormones. In fact, certain hormonal levels heavily influence the places you store fat the easiest and from which it is the hardest to lose fat.

As an example, if you store fat mostly in the belly, then chances are you have high cortisol.

If you store a lot of fat in your love handles, this I because of insulin management.

Finally, if you mostly store fat in your lower body—your hips and thighs—then it’s because of your estrogen levels.

Well, The Omega Body Blueprint addresses ALL OF THOSE issues—both independently and collectively.

You see, OBB is a special program: the workouts have been designed to specifically release hormones that help to offset fat storage.

Each of the different training styles in OBB is designed to generate a different hormonal response, each of which is intended to offset a particular issue caused by one of the previously mentioned hormonal imbalances.

All of which is to say—it doesn’t matter WHERE you’re storing your stubborn fat; Omega is equipped to deal specifically with that difficulty. The combination of MRT, Density Training, Lactic Acid Training and Strength Circuits WILL help you burn off those last few pounds.

Fat doesn’t discriminate when it comes to who gains weight, and neither should programs discriminate on the fat they fight. Men AND women can benefit equally.

In fact, a lot of my best clients are women; they tend to be the hardest workers—especially the brides! (I’ve never seen ANYONE work harder in the gym than a woman preparing for her wedding.)

As for men: generally speaking, guys have a higher level of familiarity with weight training, so the learning curve is usually a bit shorter for them (but only in the beginning!).

Then you can still absolutely benefit from The Omega Body Blueprint. As one of the most sophisticated fat loss programs available, OBB benefits nearly anyone.

However, like any great program, it was really designed with 3 types of people in mind:

1) Anyone who has hit a fat loss plateau. If you’ve been struggling at the same weight for a while and need to break through and start your fat loss again, this is your answer.

2) Someone who is dealing with “problem area” fat loss. If you’ve been struggling to lose the love handles or you can’t figure out why no matter what you do your belly fat won’t budge, then FPFL is the next step. The workouts and the way they fight hormones with hormones is exactly the right fit.

3) People who have ever struggled to lost the last few pounds. If you feel that “so close, yet so far” feeling, you absolutely NEED to be using The Omega Body Blueprint.

While having access to a gym definitely helps (and, in my opinion, makes any program more effective), you can certainly do these workouts at home. All you need is some dumbbells and a Swiss ball!

The workouts are written using barbells and benches, but that DOES NOT mean that’s how they need to be DONE!

Nearly any barbell exercise can be done with dumbbells, and almost all exercises have a suitable bodyweight alternative. If you want to “change things up” you can use resistance bands, or even fun equipment like kettlebells.

The main thing to remember is that while the workouts in The Omega Body Blueprint are the most exceptional fat burning workouts ever put down on paper…

…it’s the CONCEPTS contained within the program that make OBB special.

The different training styles, the way to perform them—if you apply these concepts to training at home…you will get phenomenal results.

Absolutely! From the time I started training, I’ve been working with parents and grandparents and people 2-3 times my own age. And that goes for my own mom.

When it comes to fitness, people don’t need to place limits on themselves because of age—and that includes using a program like OBB.

For example, here’s my client John. He’s over 60, but the concepts in OBB helped him lose fat and gain muscle.

As a 61 year old guy — who was out of shape and heavy, and who had never done resistance training in his life — it’s incredible to me that over the course of my time in the coaching program, Roman transformed me into someone who is constantly complimented in the gym and in public for the shape that he’s in!

And John’s not the only one! I’ve had dozens of people go through this very program who are over 70!

The main thing to understand is that everything is scalable; if something is new or feels unfamiliar, with a little practice you’ll be ready to go.

And keep in mind that as we age, that for people over 50… The Omega Body Blueprint is even MORE important.

As we age, our fat burning hormones begin to decline, and a program intended to boost them is going to be even more important now than when you were 40.

Well, that depends on your definition of beginner.

The Omega Body Blueprint is advanced in nature, and not really designed for people who have never trained before. It’s really for people who would categorize themselves as having a least some experience.

That said, modifications can be made to make it suitable for a wide range of fitness levels and starting points.

So, if you’re a “beginner” who is willing to work and learn as you go then YES, this is for you.

This is the simplest question of all. If by some chance it doesn’t work…well, then it’s free.

Seriously. No question asked. That’s just the way it works.

Let me just put it this way: I know the impact The Omega Body Blueprint has had on my clients, and I know its value. I’m confident that anyone who follows it will get results. Period.

And so I offer a completely awesome and totally bullet-proof, 30-day guarantee for a refund. No tricks, no loopholes. No hard feelings.

I’ll give you a full 30 days to try the program and if at the end of it you feel it wasn’t effective, you get every penny back. It’s that simple.

I’m so confident in Omega Body Blueprint that I can do this, because I know the program flat out works.

Test it for yourself. Experience the results for yourself. And if it’s not everything I’ve told you it is, I’ll give you a full refund and allow you to keep the entire system just for giving it an honest try.

NOTE: The Omega Body Blueprint system is a completely downloadable series of e-manuals and streaming video files. No physical products will be shipped. After you order, you’ll get INSTANT ACCESS to download all product components onto your computer (no waiting or shipping costs!). The format for all manuals, workbooks, checklists, etc, is adobe acrobat PDF, which can be viewed on Mac or PC.

Obligatory disclaimer: The FTC requires us to specify what “typical” results are.

BUT, for those who actually USE the program, all of the success stories featured above are very typical in terms of results.

Epilogue: It’s Our Anniversary PI

CAMILA

Looking next to me I smiled at the sight of Dre knocked out. Today is a very special and important day for us because it’s June 21. Which means it’s our anniversary. I’ve got something planned for this husband of mine and I’m so anxious to see his face when I surprise him. He has no idea what I’ve been up to and honestly I wish he did to take off some of this anxiety off my shoulders.

Taking a deep breath I very carefully got out of bed and tiptoed to our bathroom to freshen myself up. With the door closed I flipped the lights on and began to prep myself for the long day ahead of me. Anytime an intimate celebration occurs like birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day, Dre is always super horny. Normally he’s got stamina to last a lifetime. However on those specific days, he’s got the energy for sex of like three adolescent boys who all just learned how to achieve an orgasm. It’s nothing to complain about being that I’ve grown to be so infatuated with sex now that I have one consistent man in my life.

All week long I’ve been taking care of myself and my body so I can be perfect in my own mind. I know that no one is actually perfect but I like to at least feel perfect for my man, especially when he really needs some good loving. I spoke with Matt about the day I have planned and they agreed to keep the kids. A huge wave of relief washed over me when she said yes to my request. I love my kids more than I love myself but today is about their father and I. With that being said I need today to go as close to perfect as it can.

Finishing up in the bathroom I crept over to the closet to find something to wear. Shutting the door quietly I flipped the switch and watched the room light up. As I was pacing back and forth in front of my clothes in nothing but a pair of Dre’s briefs I realized the dogs haven’t gone out this morning. Grabbing one of Andre’s flannels I slipped into it and quietly left the room. Last year on Kenja’s birthday and Jorden’s birthday Andre brought home puppies. Both are full bred Pitbulls who have gotten so big! The kids fell in love with the puppies so quickly, I had to say yes to keeping them in our home.

Opening the door to the girl's room I saw Brix and Blu laying on the bed asleep. I stepped into the room and Blu opened one eye and looked my way. “Outside?” I said. He jumped off the bed and Brix was soon to follow. I was pleased to find out they were brothers. It made me feel good they weren’t separated as babies. “Downstairs, go.” Closing the girl’s room door I followed behind them to the living room. They were both excited to go outside telling me they must have been holding in their business. As soon as the back door opened they both ran to their personalized spots. The weather feels good outside but I don’t want to leave the boys out here all day while they’re gone. I’ll probably have them stay in the spare room daddy set up just for them.

Brix came back over first showing me lots of love. “Good morning Brixy..” I squatted down to his level returning the affection and earning even more back. I love our dogs so much. They’re both so protective of the kids and that’s why Andre brought them home to begin with. Once the boys know you and don’t feel you are a threat to them, they’re super friendly. But if new people come around, Brix and Blu never leave the kids side. And Jorden gets followed everywhere because he’s technically still the baby. Blu joined in our little pow wow and soon they were hyped up on energy.

“Come on, it’s time to eat. Go inside.” Standing up and opening the door I waved them inside. They ran upstairs to the kitchen with me trailing behind. Like clockwork and due to excellent training they waited next to their bowls sitting patiently and quietly. After the boys were fed I resumed the start to my day, back in the closet. I didn’t want the dogs to wake up Andre so I shut our bedroom which they hate. Standing in front of my clothes I thought over what to wear until tonight. I’ve got a busy day planned for us. My outfit for tonight while we’re out is crazy sexy. So I wanna stay low key until the sun goes down.

Throwing on something casual I slapped myself in the forehead at how long I’ve been wasting time. Pushing my feet into my NMD’s I rushed out of the closet to find Dre to work tossing and turning.

“Baby..” He groaned feeling around for me.

Covering my mouth to muffle my laughter I walked over to the bed and ran my finger down the sole of his foot.

“Where are you?” He groaned again before sitting up and turning over. He met my eyes then moved down my body. “You leaving?” Dre rubbed his eye and reached over to the grab his phone off the headboard. When his screen lit his face up he slowly looked up at me and frowned.

“Don’t look like that baby.” I cooed walking around to his side and standing next to him.

“Where are you going this early?” He sniffled, tossing his phone on the bed and lifted me onto his lap.

“Take care of a few things, I’ll be back in a little while.” I said, kissing his cheek. He caught me and captured my lips taking me by surprise. He left sometime between after I fell asleep and before I woke up. I can tell because I can still taste the cranberry juice he had too. He never skips that morning cup. That’s his own personal coffee.

Without a word he laid me on my back and took my sneakers off. He then hurriedly ripped my jeans off of me. He did a small stretch and literally dove face first in between my legs. To say I wasn’t surprised would be a lie when in deed I am shocked.

“Don’t stop..” I moaned grabbing my hair and completely messing it up. Rotating and swirling my hips all on his face to truly savor this feeling.

“Pussy dripping like a faucet.” I heard him say against my flesh. Him shaking his head backwards and forth quickly had my legs rising in the air.

“Babe, I’m coming back, it’s not like I’m leaving forever..shit.” I panted feeling my throat dry up. I tried not feed into his way of keeping me stuck in bed but my goodness, I just might have to.

Dre pushed on with his pleasant assault and ended up fucking me on the couch. He just got his first nut off for today and now we’re laid out on top of each other. Lifting my face out of his chest I looked up to see him already looking at me.

“Hi.” I managed to get one word out and it has be something as plain as ‘hi’.

“Hey, you still trying to leave?” He asked, sitting up and stretching his arms above his head.

“Well yeah but the way you make it sound makes me not want to go. Go get in the shower and get yourself together. I’ll be back in like an hour or so.” Sitting up I pushed my hair back and searched around for my clothes.

When I realized my clothes were all the way across the room I frowned. This is our new home and it fits our family so perfectly. It’s a little big for my liking but with three kids and two full grown dogs, we fill up the space just fine. So much has happened since we got married and I swear I can’t keep up with the changes sometimes. It’s like this deep rooted voice that will never go away or make you forget about it, that is constantly trying to keep you sane. That voice is telling to step back and really pay attention to what events occur in my life. Things are never too good for too long.

Shaking my head to rid the negative thoughts from my mind I looked back at him. He was analyzing my every move. I felt it the entire time I was just zoned out a minute ago.

“What’s wrong now?” He sighed, standing up and bringing me with him.

“Nothing.” I lied as he hoisted me up to carry me to the bed.

“Talk to me. What’s bothering my beautiful wife?” He asked, rubbing my lower back as he walked to the room. I laid my head on his shoulder and lazily threw my arms around his neck.

“It’s nothing I want you worry about.” I mumbled in a childlike voice.

Dre chuckled at me sounding like a child and set me on the edge of the bed. He went into the bathroom and stood at the sink, starting to brush his teeth, surely for the second time.

“You took the boys out already?” He asked.

“Yes. They’ve already eaten too.” I replied. Throwing my body back on my bed I shifted my head away from the puddle I left from earlier. As I was watching the fan blades spin I zoned out again listening to Dre busy himself. I really hate to be such a negative minded woman especially since I have so much to be grateful for. However, I really can’t shake this damn voice. It’s become the chip on my shoulder that won’t lighten its load.

Lifting my left hand in the air I mentally drooled at my left hand. When Andre slid that ring on my finger on our actual wedding day, he blew me the hell away. My engagement ring was just the warm up and but paired with my wedding ring, the combination is a beautiful one.

I hate that I feel so materialistic over a rock but because these rocks came from the man I love so dearly, I’ll cherish them forever. Your girl was on cloud nine when Dre proposed because of the way he did it. He had the girls involved and being pregnant with Jo at that time made the moment feel that much more special to me. I still have everything that I’ve ever wanted out of life.

“Happy anniversary baby.” Dre spoke out of nowhere. Dropping my hand I looked over towards the bathroom and saw him leaning against the bed pole with a bag in his hand.

Sitting up in my spot I felt my heart thumping in my chest the closer he walked over to me.

“What’s this?” I asked in a hushed tone.

Dre sat next to me and emptied the bag to pull out two little square shaped boxes. Tucking my hair behind my ear I patiently waited as he opened one box and then the other. My eyes widened seeing six micro diamond eternity bands. Three rose gold and three silver rings sat beautifully in their boxes.

“I remember you showing me a ring similar to this one a long time ago. I never mentioned them before because I figured you had forgotten these and it just so happen the situation turned out well for me.” He said, setting the boxes aside and running his hand across my thigh. “Thank you for everything. We’ve been putting up with each other for how long now? About six..seven years? Damn that’s a long ass time. I know I may say this a lot but I owe it all you Cam I really do. You have saved my life in more ways than one and in return I hope I’ve at least given you half of that. No matter what, I’m always going to love you. You have my heart forever.” Dre preached sounding a bit choked up.

“Aw baby..” Moaning at much of a softy this man is I threw myself onto him and wrapped my arms around him tightly. “Thank you. They’re so beautiful but they’re perfect because they came from you.” Kissing the side of his neck I lifted my head. “Te quiero con todo mi corazon..” I beamed.

“I love you more baby girl.” We leaned in simultaneously and as soon as our lips touched, my mind was only focused on one thing now.

Stepping out of the car and locking it I walked into the dealership looking around for Allan. Not seeing him or hearing his voice I walked over to the desk that wasn’t too far ahead of me.

“How can I help you today miss?” The older woman asked kindly.

“I have an appointment with Allan at one but I’m here earlier than expected so I was wondering if could I see him.” The lady penciled me in and called a number and escorted me to wait for Allan.

While I sat, I gawked at my new rings watching the sunlight bounce off of them. I tilted my hand in different directions to see which would make the rings shine the best.

“Ah, Camila, it’s so nice to see you again.” A voice spoke to me. Looking up to see Allan walking toward me. Standing up in my seat I met him halfway for a proper side hug.

“Allan, finally! How’s the car?” I want to jump right into this last meeting with him. He and I have been meeting twice a week for the last month to discuss the surprise I have for Dre. Ever since I’ve know Dre, he’s been a car man. Right now he’s got a Jaguar XF, a Lexus RC F, and a truck that I’ve forgotten the name of which is at his mom’s house.

“It’s all ready to go. He still doesn’t know yet?” Allan led me back to his office and shut the door, going around to sit at his computer.

“No clue. He’s going to lose his damn mind when he sees this car.” I’m beaming with excitement. I can’t wait to drive papi’s new car back to the house and surprise him with it. Dre has been going on and on about how badly he wants to a Maserati. He’s been working so hard day in and day out and I know he’s probably forgotten about the car.

So as an anniversary gift to him I got him a 2017 Maserati Quattroporte GTS. The car is customized from the hood down to the engine. Allan really broke down the basics of car mechanics and the parts during this little project. I still can’t hold a conversation about cars but I know a little more thanks to him. Allan got the final paperwork squared away and I made my last payment on the car. The car is paid in full so the only thing Dre has to pay for is the maintenance, gas and insurance.

Once we finished up in the office Allan went over a little more about what new changes were made to the car as we walked to the back. Dre has two favorite colors. Royal blue and orange. The paint on the car is royal blue. That is not an upfront option when choosing this particular Maserati model. I paid extra to get that perfect shade of blue. The factory interior is mostly a chestnut brown with a black dash and wood grain along the doors and around the gear shift. But me knowing that Dre wants his dream car to be an actual dream, I got that changed too so it’s all made from vegan leather. The seats are coated in a beautiful orange color. The bottom part of the dash going across the glove box is laack and everything behind the steering wheel is orange. His steering wheel is mostly black with that same royal blue on the sides for better grip. I got them cushioned since that’s what Dre likes.

On the headrests, the Maserati logo was hand stitched in blue thread. I even convinced the mechanic I hand picked, Xavier, to add in LED interior lights that only activate when it’s nighttime. They’re blue of course. We made it to the back so Allan suggested I stay outside so he can drive the car out of the garage.

“Oh gosh I’m nervous.” I mumbled, looking over at Xavier.

“Yo this car is one of my favorites. You picked some amazing colors to customize this car with. It’s fucking beautiful. Dre is a lucky ass man. He’s gonna be so damn happy to driving this.” Xavier said coming to stand next to me as the garage door lifted.

“Those are his favorite colors. I’m so excited for him to see the car. He still has no idea which is what is making the surprise that much more intense for me.” My cheeks hurt just from thinking about the look that’ll be on papi’s face when he sees this car.

“You did a really great job and for someone who doesn’t know shit about cars, you leaned quick. Most women that I’ve met in a professional setting that want to get a car custom made don’t put in half the effort you did. Like I can tell just from this project that Dre means a lot to you and that you’d do anything for him. Including learn about cars and the parts.” Xavier and I made more small talk but when I heard that engine turn over I shut the hell up. We stood off to the side and when I tell you I couldn’t even speak when Allan drove out, I’m so serious.

Slapping my hand over my mouth I walked around the car to get a nice look at what the guys and I came up with.

“How amazing is it?” Xavier asked with his arms spread wide.

“It’s so fucking sexy. Thank you both so much for everything.” Going over to the guys I hugged them appropriately and accepted the box of keys. After we all talked some more I had to call Jess and ask her to come up here so she can drive my car back to her house. She used an Uber and once she got here we talked briefly and then she left with my car.

As soon as I got settled in the front seat Dre was calling me. Quickly answering it I buckled my seatbelt and drove out of the lot.

“Hi baby.” I spoke, stopping at the stop sign to look both ways.

“Hey baby girl, where you at?” He asked sounding like he was outside.

“On my way back home. Is everything ok?” I asked taking off down to the street. Good thing this bad boy drives smooth or else Dre would’ve noticed something is off. My car sounds nothing like this and Dre would’ve easily picked up on the different noise.

“Yeah yeah everything is cool. I’m hungry and I need you in front of me.” See what did I tell you? He’s extra hungry for affection today. That’s fine because no matter how much we get down during the day time, he’ll be restored by tonight. Jumping on the highway I moved all the way over to the far left lane that’s going to take me back to Glendale.

“Oh really?” A smirk crept onto my face as I got off the exit after riding in one lane for a good four miles. I’m like ten minutes from home so I’m excited to see what he’s up to. “Are you dressed?” I’m just now remembering when I left him all he had on were boxers so I hope he listened to me.

“Yes mama I’m dressed. Why do you keep asking me that? What you up to girl?” The skepticism in his voice has me dying of laughter.

“Nothing papi I’m just making sure you’re not still in your underwear. So what did you want to get into today?” I changed the subject before I spill my master plan over the phone.

“The only thing I want to get into you is you baby. That’s all. I don’t need anything but you. You have something in mind? If you do just say it and I’ll take care of it. You get whatever you want.” My panties are soaked at how affectionate Dre is being today. Not to mention he’s in such good spirits.

The sun bounced off of my hand drawing my attention to my rings for a second. A huge smile was plastered on myself as I rounded the corner and turned on our street. Stopping a few houses down I threw the car in park thinking of a way to do this.

“Of course I have something in mind. I wouldn’t be myself otherwise. Baby, I need you to come help me get something out of the car. It’s a box in the trunk that’s too big for me to carry.” I lied through my smile.

Dre moved around and soon I heard a door open. He must have been out back. “Yeah, I’m coming.” He mumbled continuing to walk. I sat still for a minute waiting for him to let me know he’s outside. “Where you at? What you need help with?” He huffed into the receiver.

“I’m coming down the street just give a second.” Shifting the car to drive I slowly pulled off and went closer to our house. The butterflies in my stomach are driving me crazy. I’ve never been this nervous to present someone with a gift before.

When I looked outside to see Dre leaning up against his Jag I eased my way in the driveway. The windows are heavily tinted so he can’t even see me in here. Dre turned around and gave off a confused look. Jesucristo, this man is too damn good looking for his own good. Standing there with his legs crossed in the most perfect color and tint combination. Kenja’s favorite color, light blue, and his white Retro 4s. I know the name of these Jordan’s only because I’ve had to by Jo four pair of them. He’s obsessed with those sneakers thanks to his grandmother and uncle getting him pair number one.

“Camila..” He sighed, pushing off his car not removing the phone from his ear.

Licking my lips quickly, I switched the gear to park and hung up on him. I turned the car off so that way he can start it up himself. He might bust a nut when he hears the sound this car makes. Grabbing the box from the cup holder I neatly set the keys inside. Bracing myself for the moment of truth I pushed on the door until it was wide enough for me to step out of the car. With the door left open I slowly walked up to him.

“Camila..tell me you didn’t..” Dre looks so lost right now. He glanced back and forth between my hand, the car and myself.

“Happy anniversary baby boy. I have been putting in so much work to make this car perfect for you. I know you’ve always dreamed of having this car and I figured today is as good as any day to present you with your dream car.” I smiled, holding my hand out. I took the lid off the box so he could see the single key.

“How did you do this? How did you know which one I wanted? This ain’t mine. You’re fucking with me right?” He smacked his lips and walked closer to me.

Shaking my head I set the box in his hand just watching his smile spread and consume him. The life and joy in his eyes is all I need to see today. This moment right here is what I’ve kept dreaming of throughout this entire process.

“This isn’t a joke?” He quizzed seriously.

“No Dre it’s not. It’s your car.” Closing our distance I threw my arm around his neck and looked over at his new whip.

“Damn..this is a bad bitch. You remembered my favorite color too. Shit baby, thank you so much.” He chuckled picking me up and carrying me over to the car. He gently sat me on the hood and slid the key box in his back pocket.

“Go test drive it.” I suggested careful not to get my sandals on the hood.

“Not yet. I’m still hungry.” He smirked pushing me up further on the hood. Slipping my feet out of my sandals I let them fall in front of the car.

Looking around us I didn’t see anyone nearby. Dre hiked my dress up and pinned me down. He moved my panties to the side and went down on me without another word. His big lips devoured my pussy like he has never had it before.

“Dre, what if people see?” I panted, rolling my hips on his face. He gripped my thighs and pushed that tongue of his deeper into my box.

“Fuck ‘em.” He mumbled, not allowing of my juices to run down and get on the car. I felt my clit swell like a balloon as he wrapped his lips around it and sucked at it with no mercy.

Today is a day for us to celebrate our relationship without any shame. So here we are outside of our home enjoying one another on the hood of his new car. Biting my lip I opened my eyes to look up at the sky. The clouds were moving by and then I spotted a rainbow. Or at least that’s what I think I saw.

While Dre continued to please me I ran my fingers through his hair while getting lost in the moment and my own thoughts. Six years. These past six years with Andre have totally made up for those six years I spent alone as a single parent. Everyday I woke up with regret for severing the relationship between my little girl and her biological father. It still gets to me sometimes that I hindered a relationship before it even had a chance to develop. But with everything that I’ve been through with Dre, I don’t feel as guilty as often. Andre is the best father ever to our kids. Like I can’t imagine meeting any other man at Truth six years ago as of today.

I had my second child whom is the cutest little boy in the world. I was engaged at one point, my mother passed away, Andre was locked up, that bullshit with those goddamn Russians and the legal system. Oh and I can’t forget about Gerrard’s stupid ass. All of that is done and over with. I’m not sure what else this life of mine is going to bring me but as long as I have my family, I’ll be okay.

I felt a draft slide under my dress, hardening my nipples in the process. My back arched off the hood whilst my chest heaved up and down out of passion and I curled my toes out of reflex. Laying back on my hands I sat perfectly still watching Dre plant three little hickies on both of my inner thighs.

“Ya ass hurt?” He asked just as he came up for a little air.

Shaking my head I pulled him up to my face by his shirt. I didn’t squeeze too hard or else the fabric would wrinkle.

“I have enough cushion.” I shrugged, feeling liquid run down my leg. Just as I was about reach down to wipe it away, Dre picked up my leg and brushed his fingers up and down my opening.

“Is that really necessary? You have neighbors you know?” A third party spoke suddenly, making their existence known. Both Dre and I looked around to find who was talking to us.

I tugged on my dress but Dre stopped me. A moment later we came face to face with a man who lives a couple of houses down.

“Mind your business.” Dre warned, grabbing my chin with force and leaning in where he smashed his lips into mine.

The sudden force behind his actions was clearly an act of resistance from our very nosy neighbor.

“You have a house right behind you! Take your personal fun in there and continue. There are children who live around here who can see you two!” The guy continued sounding like he was closer.

With reluctance Dre separated from me and wiped his bottom lip.

“Andre, don’t do anything stupid. Just let it go.” I warned, clutching his belt loops.

“I’m not.” He nodded before looking beyond me. “You got thirty seconds to get the fuck off my property before I put my hands on you old man. This is my house, my land, my wife, and my car. So if we decide to have a little fun on the hood of MY car in OUR driveway then that’s what the fuck WE WILL do. Get outta my face.” He barked with an irate expression on his face.

Pulling my dress down I grabbed Dre’s hand and led him inside. Closing the door behind us and locking it I dragged him upstairs and down the hall to our room.

“You were saying..” I sang sensually. Climbing onto our neatly made bed and laying back on my arms I never looked away from him. He eyed me in silence undressing himself while we carried on our staring match. Time for round two.

A boat ride in Santa Barbara, the LA Dodgers game, couples massage, sex in the dressing room of some random lingerie store, and a long and very fast drive in his new car up and down the coast of the state. Can you say tired? By the time I got to kick my feet up I swear I had a mini orgasm. Looking over at the clock I ended up jumping off the bed to go get a shower in. It’s going on ten thirty and I’m not even close to being ready. I hauled ass washing my body down and touching up some areas with my razor.

Counting backwards to calculate how long I’ve got left I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower. I pushed the door close and reached for my towel to pat myself down. Dre left me a note saying that he has a surprise for me. So he gave me instructions to follow before going to meet him.

I zipped through all of the necessary little steps so I could get my makeup out of the way. Once that was taken care of I got to work on straightening my hair. I sped through that but then I went back to make sure it was perfect all over my head. Leaving the bathroom and whistling lowly I watched the lights brighten up the room. Going to the bed I removed the lid off of the box I’ve had hiding between our mattress for two months. With a stupid grin on my face I removed my outfit and excitedly continued to get ready.

When Andre finally put time aside to look at the car he was speechless. He cried too. It felt amazing for me to be able to bless him with such a gift. I worked so hard to save up for that car just to pay it in full. It’s not about the money for me. This car was about giving my husband something he’s dreamt of for so many years.

Pulling my dress over my hips I brought it up and slid my arms into the sleeves. Turning to my right I swept my hair over to one side watching the end of it all bounce off my hip. I picked up the zipper to seal me in. I smoothed out the fabric and sat on the edge of the bed to get my heels on. Once I had all that squared away I looked at my hands to see if I was wearing too many rings. Deciding to keep all eight on my hand I unclasped my necklace and hung it up and swapped that for the choker that matches my heels. Walking into the bathroom I noticed a little bag I hadn’t before. Going to it I looked inside to see a brand new bottle of Daisy Dream. A red piece of paper was taped underneath the bag reading ‘I got the right one this time..sorry about the mixup on the last bottle. I love u baby!’

“Goofy ass..” I chuckled, shaking my head. I spritzed the perfume on my chest, neck, wrists and behind my ears. Speedily cleaning up the room and setting a few things up for later I grabbed my little bag. This little purse is big enough for my phone without the case, gloss/chapstick, some cash and a card. It fits in one hand so it’s perfect for tonight’s occasion. I checked my Lyft app to see that my ride was here. Leaving the house and locking up behind myself, I walked over to the truck and climbed in.

“Where to?” The driver asked.

Buckling my seatbelt I looked out at my house. “Playhouse.” I said, feeling the car move and next thing I know I was on my way.

ANDRE

Setting my glass down on the table in front of me I pushed it to the side and sat back comfortably. For some odd reason it’s a lot of people in here. This entire night is bringing back a massive amount of flashbacks. I can’t believe I’m finally living in peace. After all that bullshit I still came out on top. My beautiful kids, an amazing wife, and the peace of mind that I used to fight so hard for. When Cam took me out front to really show me the car I was surprised. I was a little emotional for quite a few reasons. The first reason is due to the fact that something I’ve always dreamt of and worked so hard for is mine now. The second reason is because Camila bought it for me. I even cried a little bit.

I know exactly how much the car costs but with all the upgrades and customization that was done, the value is at least double what she paid. If I taught my wife anything valuable in relation to finance, she paid for that shit in cash and in full. Meaning ya boy doesn’t even have a car note. Before coming out tonight we had a long but relaxing day. She and I were trying to outdo each other as far as spoiling one another. Today has been one of my favorite anniversaries yet. As far as gifts go, we’re even but I’ve got something at the house that’s probably gonna make her shed a few tears.

Standing up to my feet I jogged down to the first floor to take a quick leak. I saw two girls posted up in the corner huddled together. Not paying them any close attention I kept it moving until they were out of sight. Unzipping my pants I pulled out my dick while simultaneously checking to see what time it is. She should be here soon. For as long as I can think of I’ve been wanting to recreate the night we met. Lucky for me I got two of my wildest dreams to come true in one day. Today marks that we’ve been married for two years and together for four. So our anniversary has double significance to us both.

Shaking myself off I stuffed my dick back in my boxers and fixed my clothes. I finished up in the bathroom and walked out to a fucking circus of women. They are everywhere tonight. I’ve already had to be a complete dickhead to one chick who wouldn’t stop touching me. I felt bad for yelling at her but what I asked for was simple, don’t touch me. Then there was an older woman maybe in her mid forties who kept sending me drinks. So far tonight has been a little hectic but it was nothing I couldn’t handle. I walked out onto the main floor and made my way upstairs.

“You’ve been here alone just as long as I have. What’s your game?” A soft voice said from behind me.

Stopping at the top of the stairs I turned halfway to look at the bitch who's been following me since I came in. Sighing, I turned around and continued my walk back up the second floor. The sound of her heels hitting the steps told me I would have to change my approach if I want this girl to leave me alone. I’m not about to have Camila doubting me or questioning me or anything like that. I want this night to be perfect for her. I made it up and went over to the bar to get me a shot.

Dude was wiping his hands on a black cloth before coming my way.

“What can I get you man?” He asked.

“Two shots, Hennessy.” I said sitting on the empty barstool. Guy walked away and immediately opened a brand new bottle of my favorite liquor.

“Are you gonna ignore me all night and pretend I’m not here?” I looked to my right to see her standing next to me. The smell of her perfume made me think of Cam.

“Yeah pretty much.” I chuckled dryly. Two shots were placed in front of me but the dude wasn’t anywhere near me. I picked up the first one and threw it back, reaching for the second one next. Just as I was about to swallow this shit I got the weirdest gut feeling like she was already here.

“Can I ask why? Am I not your type?” She pressed now sitting down next to me.

Quickly downing the second shot I slammed the glass down and turned around to get a good look at her.

“I’m ignoring you because I want to. And to be honest it doesn’t have shit to do with how you look.” I answered. I could tell she was shocked that I responded with a full sentence because all I’ve been doing is brushing her off or giving her one word replies.

Her eyes redirected downward and and when I realized what she was looking at I couldn’t help but laugh. It’s as if gravity was touching my face and turning my head in a different direction. From where the upstairs bar is I can see the main entrance. That’s when I saw her. I saw her walking towards the bar downstairs slipping in and out of people. I noticed a nigga trying to talk to her but she didn’t notice. Or maybe she did and just kept it moving. Either way I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her. She looks so fucking beautiful. I’ve never seen that dress before either, telling me it’s new.

“So..is there someone else that has your attention or are you just one those guys who come to clubs solo and is an ass to every woman who tries to make conversation with you.” My stalker for night spoke up again but I didn’t pay her no mind. Instead I thought I’d just show her what’s got my attention.

Standing up I waited for her to follow me over to the railing knowing she would. Leaning against it I told her where to look and even helped position her so she had a clear view.

“What am I looking at?” She asked dumbfoundedly.

“You see that woman right there at the end of the bar sitting by herself..” I began. “In the red dress?”

“Yeah.” She nodded.

“That woman right there is what’s got my attention. There’s your answer.” I shrugged standing to full height. The girl met my eyes and scrunched her face up. She’s clearly upset and confused.

“So I’ve been trying to get your attention for the past hour but some random bitch whose face you can’t even see has got your balls in her purse. Fucking ridiculous.” She snarled bitterly, trying to walk away.

Stopping her from leaving I contemplated on whether or not I wanted to contain my anger or keep my cool.

“I’m gonna let you slide for calling my wife a bitch but don’t do that again. And for future reference, if a man isn’t giving you attention after your several failed attempts then take the hint and keep it pushing. Have a good night.” Done with this conversation and this girl I headed for the steps and walked through the sea of partygoers.

Everything felt as if it was moving in slow motion as I approached the bar. Keeping quiet and calm I took a seat a couple seats away from her. I kept my actions subtle so she wouldn’t notice me just yet. Just like the first time.

“Can I get you anything miss?” The young bartender asked her, loudly over the music.

“Double shot of Hennessy please.” She replied, resting her arms on the bar top.

The bartender damn near dropped the bottle she was holding the second she saw the ring. “Those are the most beautiful rings I have ever seen. Your man has good taste.” She beamed continuing to make some drink.

Camila’s cheeks brightened at the compliment. She does that every time she gets a nice comment on her rings.

“Yeah he does.” She toyed with her rings just smiling at them like she was the only one in here. Watching her made me laugh and that’s when she looked over at me. “Couldn’t wait any longer could you.” Huffing dramatically Camila pulled her hair to one side and crossed one leg over the other.

“You have no idea how long I’ve been watching you.” I confessed seeing a couple of women look at me like I was crazy. If only they knew.

“I can only imagine.” She mumbled, turning around to accept her shots. “Thank you.” She smiled at the bartender and took both shots back to back with no problem.

“I’m actually surprised you chose dark liquor. I thought you were gonna ask for your favorite being that you and it are from the same place.” I teased, getting the same bartender’s attention. She hurriedly walked over and wiped her hands.

“Have a favorite?” She asked totally clueless.

“Get me a bottle of Bacardi and..” Pausing to look over at my wife I came up with the perfect drink to get her. “A bottle of water.” I continued, looking back at the bartender.

“Coming right up.” She breathed, walking down until she stopped at a glass case. She pulled out a key from her apron and unlocked the cabinet. When she pulled out a new bottle of Bacardi I saw a figure walk past me.

“Water huh?” Camila said suddenly.

Moving over until I was sitting right next to her I opened my legs a little and got comfortable. “What else did you expect baby? You’re a lightweight remember?” I nodded to my own true statement and leaned over to kiss her shoulder. That perfume I got her is consuming my sense of smell, putting me in a different state of mind.

“Thank you for my perfume. And I love that you got me the big bottle.” She stated, laying her hand on my thigh.

“You’re welcome.” I nodded lifting my face and looking across the bar to see the bottle and water I requested. Shifting my eyes back to her I stood on my feet. “You wanna go find some place quiet?”

“I thought you’d never ask.” She cooed, grabbing the bottle of water. Patting my pockets down to make sure I had everything I picked up the bottle and followed Cam through the crowd. I was doing well keeping up with her. I stayed hot on her ass until I stopped just to watch her walk. For the longest I’ve always found a way to sneak in some time to enjoy the way she effortlessly saunters across a room. How did I get so lucky?

My dreamy state was shot to hell when I saw Cam trying hard to get some nigga out of her way so she could continue her walk. Catching up with her I used my arm to put on some distance between him and Camila.

“Back the fuck up man. Don’t even try it.” I warned feeling Cam’s hand on back.

“I’m just trying to speak to the last that’s all bro. I don’t mean no harm or no disrespect.” He backed up a little but he didn’t move all the way to the side.

“Did she ask you nicely to move out of the way? Did she decline whatever you offered?” I rambled on, looking him square in his face.

“I mean yeah but-“

“So then you should’ve listened to her. Let me give you some advice, if she asked you nicely the first time to move or leave her alone and you keep pursuing her, she has every right to curse you out. Don’t continue to force yourself on anyone especially a woman after they’ve made it clear to leave them alone.” I preached angrily.

“Whatever nigga. Is you gone let me finish or what? It ain’t like you gone leave with her.” He mouthed off boldly.

“No, I’m not letting you finish anything. You didn’t get anywhere for two fucking reasons. She’s not interested and she’s got me.”

Camila leaned into me causing me to look down at her. She had that look in her eyes that told me I need to hurry up.

“So you think you can pull a broad a like this out yo ass and take her home? Niggas be boostin’ these days I swear.” The man bucked at me, stepped off for a bit only to come back closer than ever to Camila.

I could feel my fist ball up against her shoulder and my anger level rising. Unlinking my arm from her body I passed the bottle over to her. Grabbing the nigga by his shirt I dragged him close to my face so he could feel me breathing on him. These shots are definitely hitting me right now. I haven’t eaten since two o’clock so my stomach is empty. I’m running on straight Hennessy.

“I warned you the first time not to be all in her face. This is the last time you’re gonna hear me speak. Because if you come near my wife again, you’re gonna regret coming out tonight. Stay away from me and my wife. You understand me?” I felt how hard his heart was beating as he stared at me.

“Ight man.” He grumbled. Forcefully shoving him back I grilled him and set my hands on Cam’s hips.

“Come on baby..” I muttered, patting her butt softly. She and I disappeared from all the chaos and into one of the private lounge rooms. There’s two black massive curtain..drapes thing that cover the entryway completely. Because from the outside I couldn’t even tell if it was occupied.

Camila sat the bottles down and her purse. She reeled me into her by my belt loops. I looked down at her pretty face feeling my heart race in my chest.

“What’s wrong? You good?” I quizzed, running my palms down her arms.

“I need you right now.” She shuddered dragging her hands down my torso. She stopped at my pants started unzipping them with all seriousness.

   We could have ended up having sex that night, but we didn’t.  Instead, Jeffrey had to drive my drunk ass home (I basically polished off the whole bottle before the lights came on) and tuck me into bed before curling up beside me himself. I woke up the next morning from him throwing his heavy fucking arm over my stomach, causing me to jerk up and rush to my bathroom to hurl. ​

​   “You alright, hun? Need anything?” He called from the other side of the door, sleep heavy in his voice. I responded by heaving again, to which he replied, “Take that as some Tylenol,” with a chuckle.    Once my guts were out of my stomach and my teeth were brushed, I stumbled, still half drunk, out of the bathroom and fell back into bed with him. He held out a glass of water and handed me four little pills. I downed them all, followed by the water, before setting myself up against the pillows next to him. “Sooo….” I started, finger picking at an invisible spec on the side of the glass.    "Yup.“ He sighed, turning onto his side to face me, “You’re back to dealing with me again.”

   A grin spread to my face as I sat the glass down and swatted him on the shoulder, “Ass.”    "Go ahead, get it out of your system, pretty girl.“ He stuck his tongue out at me and I lunged forward to bite it.    Jeffrey groaned in pleasure at the pain and gripped my hips to roll me over on top of him, deepening the kiss while doing so. His tongue pushed past my teeth and danced with mine, sucking on it in a teasing manner, coaxing a whimper from me as he tightened his grip on my waist. We kissed for what seemed like forever, making out like teenagers while rolling around in my sheets, both of us fighting for dominance over the other. He had just moved his lips down to my jaw and neck when we were interrupted by a loud knock coming from my front door.    "You’ve gotta be fuckin’ kidding me.” I grunted, retching myself out of his grasp with a loud huff and pulling myself from the bed to head to the source of the interruption.    "I swear Jensen if that’s you I’m gonna-“ I pulled the door open to reveal Misha, bright smile on his face like it wasn’t 10:30 in the morning.

   "Your smile is hurting my head. Stop it.” I grumbled as I walked away from the door, leaving it open for him to enter and close it behind him.    "Goooood Morning, Sleepy head,“ He sang, bouncing around me like a woodland creature, "How was yourrrr evening?”    "She drank an entire bottle of Crown” came Jeffrey’s rasp from the doorway of the bedroom, scaring the shit out of Misha.    Holding his hand to his chest in surprise before recovering, he said, “Ha! Well, sounds like her. I wondered if I’d find you here, Jeff. Jensen’s been trying to call you both.”    "Phone’s dead.“ We both said in unison, earning us a suspicious grin from Misha.    "Sure. Okay. Anyways, he sent me over to check. Now that I’ve checked, who wants to go to breakfast?” Misha was bouncing around my kitchen at this point, opening and closing my refrigerator repeatedly.    I showered and changed into a pair of yoga pants and a slouchy crop top, threw my hair into a messy bun and avoided looking in the mirror as I wiped the remaining mascara from under my eyes. Misha commented on how shitty I looked as I pushed on a pair of flip flops and grabbed my keys. “Just for that, you’re paying, dick bag” I said as I locked my door.    "I’ll pay for whatever you want, baby" Misha teased before he smacked my ass playfully, earning him raised eye brows from Jeffrey and a glare from me as we exited the building.    Surprisingly Misha allowed Jeffrey the passenger seat as we crawled into my car.    "So, Ky, me and Vicky had a question for you,“ Misha started, learning forward between the two seats from the back.    I sighed, “yes, Misha, I will show you how to eat your wife’s pussy again,” teasingly patting his head without looking away from the road.    He smirked while raising an eyebrow, nudging Jeffrey’s shoulder “you think you can handle this one, old man?”    Jeffrey quirked a dom eye brow of his own before bringing a hand down on my thigh with a smack, “I think I’ll be alright, Collins”    I glared at him through the corner of my eye before shifting my gaze expectedly to Misha through the mirror.    "Its looking like this is gonna be the last year for Gish, girl.“ he sighed, finally getting to the point. "What?!” I exclaimed, turning slightly in my seat towards him.    "I knowww, but I just don’t have time for it anymore. Neither does Vick. So, we were hoping, since you were there at the start, you’d be apart of the finish” Misha let his gummy grin show while he tilted his head lovingly.    Jeffrey squeezed my thigh for encouragement. I huffed a fallen piece of hair out my eyes. “Fine” I said with a roll of my eyes as I pulled into the restaurant.    "Yippee!“ Misha rejoiced, leaping forward to kiss my cheek dramatically, rewarding him with another look from Jeff.

   Breakfast consisted of me downing 4 Bloody Mary’s before the food ever even got ordered, earning me looks from the server as well as Jeff and Misha. Once the food came, in between stuffing his face with pancake and eggs, Misha and I discussed the plan for the final Gish season and what he wanted to achieve with it. Naturally, we both wanted it to be the biggest and best since the beginning, with the best winners trip and prizes. We set up a conference call with Darius and the rest of the Gish team for the following week and were discussing new item ideas when I felt Jeffrey’s hand on my thigh under the table, earning him my attention away from the conversation.    "Look at you, I told you you could get back in it.” he chuckled, beaming at me with pride. I gave him a small nod and adverted my eyes to the plate in front of me and picked at a piece of strawberry.    "She actually thought she didn’t do any good in the world, Mish. Can you believe that?“ Jeffrey continued before taking a sip of his coffee. “Said her work was ‘no big deal’”    "The greatest scavenger hunt the world has ever seen is no big deal, eh squirt?“Misha feigned offence as he clutched his hand to his chest. I rolled my eyes. "I’m not that big of a part of it, guys. I just help”    "Not this time, girl. I’m going to be so busy with conventions and filming that you and Darius are gonna be doing a lot of the grunt work. Which brings me our next question.“ He took a sip of his own coffee as his eyes flicked to Jeff for a second while I squinted my own lids at him with my straw in my mouth, "I’m going to be needing an assistant.”    "That’s not a question, Dmitri” I popped my eyebrow up in suspicion, already guessing at his ‘question’    "Yes or no? You know you want to. Plus, I hear Jeff is doing some conventions with us this year.“ He tilted his head towards Jeffrey who nodded in confirmation, hopeful look in his eye.    I glanced between the both of them as I sucked the rest of the liquid through my straw, “You two are teaming up on me, aren’t you?”    "What? Me? No” Misha said over dramatically while Jeff took to whistling a tune while adverting his eyes around the room. I sighed. “Let me think about it. Get me another drink.” I ordered.

   Of course I said yes, and by the end of the month I had quit the club, packed all my stuff, and Misha moved me out to L.A as soon as Gen had Odette. Misha had paid for me a little one bedroom studio apartment near his house and even let me pick out my own furniture. I spent my first two weeks there helping him and Darius sort through submissions and setting up the registry, helping Vicky with the children so she could fulfill her own responsibilities with everything, and generally getting used to the complete and sudden change in my life.    Everyone at the club was upset that I was leaving, and Andy himself promised that anytime I wanted to come back that my promotion was still guaranteed. Leaving Dallas was bittersweet but there was something about being so far away from everything that had happened was calming and peaceful. Working for Misha was easy, especially since he had always been one of my really close friends since the day that I had met him. Rob of course was in the same city as well and the first week there he helped me unpack everything and took me out to show me around all his favorite places in the city. Jensen was proud that I had taken the job, as him and Jared and the girls always encouraged me to continue on with Gishwhes, it had always been Anthony that didn’t allow it. He had hated the idea of me doing anything but worshiping him.     Jeffrey and I talked every day again, mostly through texts but he did manage to call me almost every night. He was on a convention tour for all of April and May, May being when  I would be on tour with Misha. We had to miss his birthday but he was scheduled for appearances at 3 cons that Misha would be attending, plus one that would be in Los Angeles the only weekend Misha and I  had before heading to Vancouver for filming to start there and Jeff would be heading back to Georgia for The Walking Dead. We hadn’t seen each other since he left 2 days after Jensen’s birthday, and I couldn’t help but notice how frustrated my heart was making me feel.  

   "I can’t wait to see you tomorrow, Gorgeous.“ He rasped into the phone the night before Misha and I’s flight to the first convention they had together, “Feels like it’s been forever,”    "2 months tomorrow, Mr. J” I confirmed as I lay sprawled over my couch, TV playing idly in the background.    "Never again, I’m not going this long ever again,“ He grumbled, squirming around in his hotel bed. He was scheduled for an early call for V.I.P preview Thursday where as Misha was just Friday through Sunday.    "I’m sure your over exaggerating, hun. Go find a fan-girl.” I teased, ignoring the ache in my chest that was my feelings for him.    "Pffft" he spat with a chuckle “You know you’re my girl, right?” My heart pinged at his words and I was speechless momentarily. I quickly recovered and cloaked my anxiety, “I bet you say that to everyone.” “Just you wait and see, little girl. Just wait” he chuckled with an asphalt tone. “Wait and see what, Mr. J?” I grinned, my own voice altering slightly.    "Don’t do that to me, now, woman. Not the time,“ he scolded, but I could hear the smile in his tone. “You’re in bed, aren’t you?” I giggled, seductiveness still light on my tongue.    "I’m not in bed with you, though, tease,“ He groaned, rutting himself against his mattress.

   I was still half asleep as I guided an equally exhausted Misha through the maze of hotel hallways towards the greenroom by the hand. Our flight had landed at 5:30 in the morning in Phoenix and we had to wait for an our before our driver was able to locate the correct terminal to pick us up in. By the time we actually got to the hotel there was no time for even a nap, so we had both quickly found our room to shower and change. I had been able to muster the energy to make myself presentable, since I was going to be seeing Jeffrey. I had braided my now platinum blonde tresses (the purple had eventually faded enough it toned my whole head almost white.) into low pig tails, paired with simple black winged eyeliner and lashes with dark lipstick. I wore my oversized black Always Keep Fighting shirt and a pair of shorts with my high-top Chuck’s. I finally was able to locate the correct doorway and pulled us both in, Misha immediately collapsing by into Jensen’s sleeping arms on the couch closest to the door. It was barely 8 am and everyone was still half dead.    I was pouring myself a cup of hotel coffee when I felt his long arms wrap themselves around my waist, accompanied by his scruffy beard nuzzling into its favorite place on my neck.    "Too long.” He rasped, us both inhaling each others’ scent at the same time. I leaned back into his chest as I sat the cup of coffee on the table in front of me before raising a hand to his neck to hold him in place. He placed gentle kisses all over my neck before turning me in his arms to face him. He looked down at me for a moment as I raised myself to my tip-toes and pulled him to my lips. He squeezed me tight as I parted my mouth, his brows furrowing into the sensation of having our arms around each other finally. He couldn’t help digging his fingernails into the exposed skin around my waist as I whimpered at the taste of his tongue. I’m pretty sure we could have stayed like that all day if it hadn’t been for Rob clearing his throat behind us, trying to get to the coffee maker.    "Glad to see you two are on better terms,“ He teased with a giggle, taking the cup I had started working on and finishing it the way I liked it for me before working on his own. I took the cup from his hand with a smile before leaning over to kiss him on his cheek in hello.    "We’re getting a long a lot better you could say, Rob” I replied with a raised eyebrow.    Jeffrey threw an arm over my shoulder and bent down to nuzzle his scruff into my temple with a scrunched nose, earning another laugh from Rob as we walked over towards the couches. Jensen had finally stirred and was sitting upright now as we approached, rubbing his eyes, with Misha’s head in his lap, the man still deep in sleep.    "Good to see you, bubz” I said, leaning over to kiss his head before falling onto the couch into Jeffrey’s arms. With a shake if his head he huffed, “you two are stupid.” “You’re stupid” I retorted, nuzzling closer to Jeff.    A young brunette girl with a volunteer shirt poked in her head into the room, “Hey guys, Misha’s morning panel starts in 20 minutes. Mr. Morgan, you have photo ops at the same time.”    "Thanks, sweetie" Jeffrey replied, making the poor girl blush a bright red before she could duck out and hide.    I pried myself out of Jeff’s arms and headed back to the coffee maker, knowing Misha would need some strong tea if they planned on him not being a total ass to the fans. Jared stumbled in and threw himself onto Misha, causing the sleeping man to jerk awake suddenly with a yelp    "Wakey wakey, sleeping beauty" Jensen sang as he ruffled the mans hair while Jared dug around for a comfy spot.    "10 more minutes" he grumbled as he wrapped his arms around Jared’s back. I rolled my eyes.    "Mish, wake up, you have a panel soon.“ I warned, leaning over to knock his head with the palm of my hand. His eyes fluttered open and his brows furrowed in irritation as he looked at me.    "Meh” he whined, finally re-positioning Jared in order to climb out from underneath him. I extended his tea out, which he accepted with a sigh.    "So who are you gonna be following around today, Ky, your boss or your boyfriend?“ Jensen snickered, taking a sip from his own cup of coffee.    Jeffrey and I both tensed at the word, neither of us had discussed what we actually were yet. Sure, he had referred to me as his girl, and the pictures from the airport at New Years were still circulating around the internet, but nothing had been set in stone. Of course I hadn’t even been interested in anyone else, despite my flirtatious nature. I craned my head up to look at Jeff, and he looked down to me with a small smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. Thankfully Misha cut in with his own agenda,    "I actually need her with me for my panel, gonna be talking about Gish and stuff” He explained with a nod of his head before taking another deep swig of tea. “You’re not gonna pull me up on stage, are you?” I whined. “Possibly.”

An hour later I found myself sitting on a bar stool next to Misha. On stage.    "Um, I have a question for Kylin, I love that your doing Gish this year. What are your goals that you want to accomplish with the last hunting season?“ A teenage girl had asked, referring to the scavenger hunt. 

   "Awh, Thank you! Well, Random Acts and Gish have always set out to accomplish great things. My goal is to make this season the best ever and have the name live on through ya’ll. Ya’ll are the ones that make this happen. Sure, Misha, Darius, and I and the other volunteers put literal blood sweat and tears into it, but it is you, the participants, that make it what it is. I want this last hunt to inspire everyone to continue to make a difference. To have people come up to me in 20 years and say 'Thank you, Random Acts and Gishwhes made me who I am today.’ That’s my goal for this season, and so far, it seems like we’re gonna crush it.” I smiled to the fan as everyone applauded. Misha wrapped an arm around me and leaned his head into my shoulder.

   "Not many people know this, but Kylin helped create Minion Stimulus, the original Random Acts, when she was just 17. She was apart of the first Gish event in 2011. She was the one who inspired me to continue doing it when I felt like we were failing. This girl right here,“ He tightened his grip around my shoulders and kissed the top of my head, “Is truly amazing, and I’m so thankful to have her back with me for the final go around. Her and Vick spend literally 18 hours a day between the two of them going over registration, items, ideas, submissions, everything, they literally do everything, to make this the best it possibly can. I am so thankful.” Tears had begun to well up in his eyes, causing my own to spring forward as he pulled me in for another hug.    The crowd cheered again and I waved once more before saying good bye and ducking back behind the curtain. Rob and Rich both had been listening and engulfed me in hugs, followed by Briana and Ruthie who accompanied me back to the greenroom so I could wait on Jeff.    "I’m jealous, love. Look at him.“ Ruth nodded to the couch where I hadn’t noticed Jeff had been sitting. He was staring at me with that smirk on his face and I couldn’t help the heat rising to my neck.    I giggled as I left her side to skip to where Jeffrey sat, flopping down beside him. He wrapped his arm behind the back of my seat and wound his finger around a piece of hair as he looked down at me.    "You’re amazing, you know that?” He drawled lowly, his voice raising goosebumps as I shook my head. “Whatever” I argued,    "I listened to what you said, girl, don’t play coy with me.“ He chuckled as he brought his nose to my ear, "I know better.”    I scoffed lightly at him while looking at my hands in my lap. I could tell he rolled his eyes as he moved his hand to crook a finger under my chin to force me to look at him. “You’re amazing.” he repeated, kissing my cheek, “You’re passionate.” He moved my face to kiss the other cheek. “You’re inspiring.” He kissed my forehead.    "And I can’t believe you’re mine“ he growled in half a whisper, making my heart spasm before leaning in to finally kiss my lips. "I am?” I asked meekly, my breath faltering as I met his eyes.    "If you’ll have me.“ He said, leaning back to lace his hand that wasn’t wrapped around me into my fingers.    I looked into his eyes as I let his words sink into my soul. I could feel myself falling for him, slowly but surely, and it was slightly overwhelming. The feeling of safety I felt when I was with him was undeniable, and I had never had anyone besides my family try to encourage me the way he did. No one, not even my family, took the time out of their day, every day, to check on me, but Jeffrey did. He knew I was broken and hurt and fragile and crazy and he still wanted to be apart of my life. At the same time though I was terrified. Terrified of him realizing that I’m not all that I’m cracked up to be, of how truly broken I believed I still was, and of attempting to be apart of his life. I knew his world was busy and he was constantly somewhere new, around thousands of beautiful women with established careers who were prettier, nicer, more mature, and better suited to fit him. The idea of him getting tired of me flashed across my mind as I looked down to stare at our hands. What if he saw what Anthony saw, the stupid immature girl who cried over everything and couldn’t do anything right?    He must have seen the scenarios playing out across my face because he leaned his face back against mine, his scruff pressing against my cheek as he rasped into my ear, "Stop overthinking. Let’s just have some fun.”    I smiled weakly at him and nodded as he moved his lips away from my ear to give me another kiss on the mouth before pressing his forehead to mine. I sighed, trying to get my emotions in check.    "There she is! I figured I would find you two here.“ Misha bellowed as he suddenly entered the room, followed by Rich, Rob, and Matt.    "Hey guys,” I said, looking up to greet everyone as they piled themselves around us.    "Ky, you’re gonna sing tonight at karaoke right?“ Rob questioned as he sat criss-cross on the floor in front of me. "Errr. No. Why would I do that?” I scrunched my face    "Because you have the voice of a fucking angel?“ Rich interjected, pointing at me as he joined Rob.    "You hiding something from me, sweetheart?” Jeffrey chuckled, squeezing my shoulder “No. I just only sing in the shower.” I excused    "Bullshit. She’s sang during SNS before a few years ago. Fans loved her. Some said she even sings better then Jay.“ Rob explained.    "Well then, darlin’ you’re gonna have to let me hear you.” Jeffrey grinned as he watched the blush creep up my neck to my ears. I sighed again, defeated.

   Later that night I was standing in Ruth’s hotel room while her and Kim tied me into my corset.    "I can’t believe I’m being forced to do this.“ I muttered as Ruth threw her knee into my back and pulled on the cords. "Shut the hell up, lady, suck it in!” Kim encouraged while laughing her ass off.    "Your boobs are being ridiculous. Jesus. There. Done.“ Ruth huffed as she finished tying the knot in the back.    I looked in the mirror, pleased at my appearance despite my nervousness. The theme had been Henry the VIII and his wives, and all the ladies of the cast and myself were dressed in suffocating corsets and long skirts and crowns. Kim and myself had fake blood donning our necks, symbolizing Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard. Once everyone was in costume we stood in front of the mirror taking selfies until someone banged on the door.    "Ya’ll better hurry it up, ladies! The party’s starting!” I heard Richard call from the other side as I reached for the knob and wretched it open.    "Jesus, Kylin, don’t you look delicious” Richard smirked as he licked his lips, eyes immediately focusing on my chest squished into the tiny purple bodice. He was dressed in a pair of tights with a cod piece and a fluffy medieval coat. I rolled my eyes, “We’re coming.”    The girls and I all squished into the elevator, which was difficult due to our petticoats and skirts all dragging behind us. Richard ushered us all out of the lift and whisked us to the entrance of backstage, over to where all the men of the cast had congregated.    I was speaking with Brianna about her pretty crown when I felt his presence against my back. Bri’s eyes flicked behind me and a smirk caught her lips as she dramatically bowed, still focused on the man who had wrapped a strong arm around my waist. “Your highness.” She quipped as she lifted herself up from her curtsy.    "Queens" his gravel voice trailed its way down my neck and into my spine as I turned to face him.    He was dressed in worn leather and chain-mail, an out fit similar to the one I had seen on my brother during an episode of the show. He wore a crown with fake jewels on his head, and looked like the definition of a King. He of course, was playing the role of Henry VIII, and my knees went weak as his gaze drifted from my own crown down to where my cleavage heaved its way out of the top of the corset. A growl mumbled out of his mouth as he squeezed me closer and leaned down to kiss me.    "Enough of that.“ Jensen grumbled as he reached for my arm to tug me away, “The shows about to start, get it together.”    I rolled my eyes at him as Jeffrey laced his fingers into mine and shot me a look that said we would be continuing later. Rob and Rich started the show, and pretty soon we were all on stage laughing and dancing with the fans. 

   Jeffrey and I had never discussed how we were going to act in front of the public, and I really hadn’t thought about having to be in front of the fans at all, even after starting to work for Misha. I had always always managed to stay out of the way of the cameras and fans, but here we were in front of hundreds of people. He didn’t go over board, but did dance behind me the entire time with his hand in my hip, the fingers on the side not facing the crowd digging in enough to leave bruises.  He would rasp the the lyrics he knew to whatever song would be playing and we laughed and laughed, and danced and drank until we couldn’t anymore. His eyes went wide when Robbie and I belted out the words to the song one of the girls had picked, earning him a slap on the shoulder and a laugh from Jensen. He said something into Jeff’s ear that I couldn’t make out, but Jeff nodded feverously with a grin in response, eyes darting to me in excitement. The feeling in my gut told me my brother was planning something, but I knew by now to not try to figure it out, so I just let it slip my mind with the distraction that was the party.    Once everyone had gotten back to the hallway  where are rooms are located, Misha drunkenly approached Jeff and I, who were equally wasted, and clasped his arms on each of our shoulders.    "I'mma need you to take the little one tonight, Jeffy.“ He slurred tiredly, "Gotta call my woman.”    Creation Ent. had suckily placed me in the same room as Misha, while everyone else got their own rooms, stating that it was cost efficient and they didn’t know I was coming when they did booking. 'Whatever’    "I think I can handle that, Collins,“ He grinned as he tightened his grip where our fingers were laced together and winked at me.    I pursed my lips and narrowed my eyes at Misha as he ducked away from us to bolt ahead to our room. He slipped the key card in and with a two finger salute he rushed in and closed the door with out giving me the time to speak up.    As happy as I was to be around Jeffrey, as ecstatic as I was that he called me his, I was still nervous about the idea of what might happen being finally alone in a hotel room with him. Sure, we’d rutted around on each other at the club two months prior but after that everything had been put on the back burner. It’s not like I’d been with anyone else, not including the attack. Which was another thing that heightened my anxiety to the point where my palm started sweating in Jeffrey’s as we walked down the long corridor towards his room.    "Something on your mind, sweet pea?” He asked when he noticed me worrying my lip and staring at the way my heavy skirt swayed as we stepped. I snapped out of my trance instantly, “Huh? Oh, nothing,”    He gave me a sideways glance with a knowing smile on his lips, but let it drop as we approached his room number. He pulled out the key and slid it before opening the door wide for me to enter first, “M’ Queen” he drawled with a small  bow and a smile.    "Your Majesty” I giggled, giving a curtsy myself before walking past him and the through the door frame.    We kicked off our shoes immediately, both of us letting out a sigh at the relief. I pulled my hair to the side and attempted to work at getting the knot behind me attached to my corset before Jeffrey stopped me. “Here, let me help.”    My nerves instantly shot right back up into my throat as I felt him behind me, fingers working the tangle of cord apart. I grasped my chest with both hands to keep it in place as he undid the laces while slowly leaning down to let his beard brush against my bare shoulder. I closed my eyes and tilted my neck for him, enjoying the way the scruff always felt.    I opened my eyes when he was finished with the strings and started to turn me around to face him. He reached for the front bottom of the corset that I held against my chest and pulled it away from me, leaving me bare against him in nothing but the deep burgundy gowns skirts. My breathing hitched and my chest heaved as I looked up to him to see his dark brown eyes grow incredibly darker.    "So gorgeous.“ He rasped as he let his hands run up my rib cage to my shoulder blades, then back down the curvature of my back. My hands were resting on the chain-mail on his chest and I lifted it up to find it was connected to the hem of the shirt he was wearing. Frowning slightly, I lifted that up too until he pulled it off his shoulders. 

   "Mmmm” I sighed as my lips quivered against his bare flesh for a moment, pressing myself against him to feel his skin. He wasted no time reattaching his hands to me as he lead me backwards towards the bed. He laid me down, kicking the pants he’d been wearing off as he did so, leaving him in just his black boxers. My lip continued to shiver as he laid wet open mouth kisses to my stomach and his hands ran up my legs under the layered skirts, pushing me further onto the bed up to the pillows. He created multiple wet spots up my stomach to my chest with his mouth, my hands grasping at the skin of his biceps and shoulder as he sucked hickies into my flesh. He moved one hand off my thigh and out of my skirt to bring it to my right breast as his lips enclosed around the nipple of my left. I couldn’t stop the whine that escaped my throat as my back arched into him, seemingly on instinct. He squeezed my thigh harder where his hand was as he lifted my leg to hook around his waist, pushing the fabric up on my stomach as he ground down against the white lace and cotton that was my panties. He pulled his face away and lifted off of me back onto his haunches to run his hands up my thighs again, growling as he pushed my skirt up further to reveal the wet-stained fabric beneath. His hungry eyes darted to mine for a second before he dove back forward to wedge his face into my neck, sucking and biting his way around me as he dug his extremely hard center into my core.    I was a moaning, whimpering mess when he finally snaked a hand behind my back to work at the zipper of the gown, pulling it enough to be able to get the skirts over my hips and onto the floor. We were flush against each other now, save for underwear, and I couldn’t tell where he ended and I began as we rutted our bodies up against each other and shifted our hips with every groan. He eventually couldn’t stand it anymore, I don’t think, because drifted his lips back down and hooked his fingers on my waistband and kissed the flesh being revealed as he pulled them down.    I ran one shaking hand through my own hair and the other through Jeffrey’s as he looked up at me from the most vulnerable position someone had had me in in months. He must have sensed my nerves because he slowly started planting kisses anywhere his mouth could reach, avoiding the more intimate areas until the last possible second. He used his fingers to gently pull apart my folds before lowering his eyes to it, a low indescribable vibration coming from his throat as he did so. I sucked in a breath as the heat in between my legs shot sparks through my eyes, blurring the vision of him as he finally stuck his tongue out and rolled it against my clit.    "Fuck" I grunted as my nails dug into his scalp, earning me a moan from him that sent vibrations through the heat that stopped my breath.    He continued to roll his mouth around my wetness as I writhed below him, his hands rubbing my body and massaging my breasts, never staying in the same place for too long. He was exploring, I could tell, and with every caress I found a new way he drove me wild.    "Don’t stop, please,“ I begged as I felt the tingling sensation I was chasing grow and grow as he lapped his tongue with twists and turns around my heat. His strong hands were gripping my hips now, attempting to hold me in place as the final strands of composure were cut and I slipped over the edge. My body bucked up against his face as the pleasure took over my ability to control it. He moved one hand lower and rubbed a finger through my folds, pushing into me with the intent to prolong my orgasm. That’s not what happened.    Pain seared through me as I let out a scream of agony, all pleasurable sensations wiped out by the burn that spread through me suddenly. He quickly retracted from me as I pulled myself away from him at the same time, sealing my legs shut and pulling my knees against my chin as I cowered against the headboard.    "Oh god, Ky, I’m so sorry,” He apologized instantly, guilt splayed across his face as he reached for me. I cowered again, away from his touch, and he retreated with a sigh, knowing I needed space for a second. He sat cross legged on the bed with his head in his hands, silently beating the shit out of himself for pushing me too far.    The burning slowly died and I blinked through the tears a few times to regain my focus. I looked to him, sitting as far away on the bed as possible, and broke down. 'How is he supposed to be with me when I’m this broken? What’s wrong with me? I can’t even do that right anymore?’    I was so busy in my own thoughts that I jumped again when I finally saw him move in front of me, he had stood up to pick up my panties and one of his shirts for me. With a nervous hand I took them from him as he sat back down on the edge of the other side of the bed. I slipped the clothes on quickly before curling back up in my former position.    "I’m sorry.“ It was me who was apologizing now, squeaked out through a broken sob.    He instantly turned his head to me with a confused look on his face, brows furrowed, “What?”    "I’m sorry I’m so broken I can’t even have you touch me the way you want to.“ I whispered before choking again.    He pushed his hand out on the bed slowly, offering it to me, "Darlin’, this is not your fault. I’m sorry I pushed you. I should have never done that, and I for damn sure wasn’t trying to hurt you.”    I looked from his hand to his face as tears seemed to pick their ways into his irises. “Hold me?” It came out of my mouth as a whimper.    He scooped me into his arms before I could blink, holding me close against him as he moved the blanket and sheet back and curled us both up underneath it. I pawed at his chest, nuzzling into his neck like a kitten as my tears finally dried. He cradled my head as he placed gentle, loving kisses into my hair as he slowed his own heart rate to the sound of mine. “Thank you, Jeffrey.” I whispered as I breathed in his calming scent. “Anytime, Sweetheart.”

    Finally Dunk Like A Total Badass…

The ‘Dirty Secret’ Behind the World’s #1 Dunker…

The ONLY Proven 3-Step Jump Training Program That Adds AT LEAST 9 – 15+ Inches To Your Vertical Jump… In Less Than 8 Weeks.

Guaranteed To Take YOU From Below The Rim To Throwing Down Your Own Nasty Dunks in LESS THAN 8 Weeks.

Hey soon-to-be dunker,

I don’t care if you’re under 6 feet tall…

If you’re ‘un-athletic’…

Or if you’ve already tried every bogus jump ‘tutorial’ you could find on YouTube…

Before you give up on your dream of throwing down rim‑shaking dunks…

Let me tell you something…

You CAN Dunk…

And over the next few minutes, I’m going to prove it to you beyond any reasonable doubt…

Because I’m going to teach you my new 3-step, zero to slam framework…

It’s called VERT SHOCK.

And it’s a new system that YOU can use IMMEDIATELY to increase your jump a whopping 9 – 15+ inches.

All in less than 8 weeks.

Heck, most people see BIG results in as little as just a few days…

Regardless of your age…

Height…

Athleticism…

Genetics…

Take a quick look at what I mean…

This isn’t another one of those pointless jump tutorials.

You don’t need to do heavy squats…

Crazy box jumps…

Annoying Deadlifts…

Or anything like that.

In fact, if you stick with me for just a few moments you’ll learn some of the exercises you’re probably doing are actually KILLING YOUR VERTICAL.

But first I want to tell you a little more about my VERT SHOCK system…

So far, I’ve helped over 20,000 people experience what I would consider the best feeling in the world…

Their very first dunk.

You’re the first person I bought a jump program from that actually responds…

Just emailing to say I threw down my first in game dunk tonight only 11 days into Vert Shock!

I’m too pumped right now thanks so much man!

Hey Adam,

Just wanted to say thanks for Vert Shock. I’m only in the 8th grade but I’m 6’2″ so everyone expects me to be able to dunk.

At first I was skeptical, but decided to give it a try.

This stuff actually works. I’m only 2 weeks into Vert Shock and I just threw down my first dunk ever!! I went from hardly being able to touch rim to DUNKING!

Thanks man,

– Josh

Adam,

I just got my first dunk ever and I’m only 13 days into Vert Shock!

Thank you so much for this program.

I have done Vert Shock for 2 weeks now and I can’t thank this program enough.

Before I started it I was grabbing rim with 1 hand from a running start. I can now grab rim with 2 hands from a STANDING JUMP!

I even threw down my first dunk EVER yesterday!

Hey Adam,

Just wanted to say Vert Shock is helping me so much.

I threw down my first ever dunk and I can even dunk off 2 feet now!

Thank you sooo much for this program!

Thank you Vert Shock!

My vertical has exploded and I am dunking consistently now!

Vert Shock is one of the best programs out there and I want to thank Adam for helping me achieve my dream of dunking.

Here’s a vid about my experience with the porgram…

Maybe you’ve heard of Justin ‘Jus Fly’ Darlington…

His dunks are casually featured in Slam Magazine and Bleacher Report.

He was on TNT’s hit show The Dunk King.

And I’m happy to call a him a good friend of mine.

Like I said, he currently holds the title as the World’s #1 HIGHEST Dunker.

Here’s a picture of him accepting the first-place trophy at the Nike World Dunk Contest alongside LeBron and Anthony Davis.

Even though he may be considered the world’s top dunker, he wasn’t always flying around the world just to showcase his dunks…

Long story short, he and I grew up together in Canada.

And after using and mastering the 3 simple steps in VERT SHOCK, which you’ll learn too in a moment, he has taken his dunks to a whole new level.

And let me be clear…

I’d be a complete liar if I promised you’re going to jump 50 inches…

That’s ridiculous, Justin is an absolute freak of nature…

But, I will promise you one thing…

If you follow this done-for-you roadmap…

Consisting of just a few simple workouts each week…

You can throw down your very first slam in less than 8 weeks.

I promise you that.

Like I said, it is the best feeling in the world.

And today I’m going to share with you the roadmap to the dunk mecca…

It’s a new 60-day ELITE vertical trainer, which I call VERT SHOCK. 

And if you’re willing to stick with me for just a few minutes, I’m going to tell you everything you need to know.

Including exactly WHAT VERT SHOCK is…

WHY this training regimen works a group of leg muscles that you likely never hear about…

WHO has already thrown down massive dunks by following this method.

And most importantly HOW you can use this method to dunk in less than 8 weeks.

But first let me ask you something…

Before I go any further…

I really want you to think about it.

What would your life be like if you could throw down high flying dunks with ease… anytime you wanted?

Would you finally get that starting spot on your team?

Maybe you’d be the star who always gets the rock when the game’s on the line…

Imagine your whole school… maybe whole town… watching you throw down the MASSIVE dunks in games.

Imagine getting tagged in videos all over Instagram and Facebook…

Imagine catching the attention of college scouts nationwide…

That’s what happened to me when I used this system for myself.  (And I’ll tell you all about that in a minute.)

But first let me just say…

When you can dunk consistently it feels like almost anything’s possible.

And I can guarantee you NONE of this will ever happen:

NO MORE stretching your shoulders out of their sockets just to swipe the net

NO MORE being afraid to attack the rim in games and practices

NO MORE feeling unconfident when you step foot on the court

NO MORE whack tutorials and funky exercises trying to increase your vert

And last but not least…

NO MORE sitting on the bench when you DESERVE to be out on the court dunking on people

Just Take It From These Vert Shock Members…

Hey Adam,

Program is going great!!

Just to give you a little background on me, I am 16 and only 5’7″. I already do have an impress vertical for my height, I can get the bottom of the box. But I wanted to increase it, so after I did the first pre shock phase day 1. I decided to see how much I my vertical increased.

Already I just barely touched the rim!! I am very impressed with this program, you really are a true hero!! Here is the pic of me touching it! Thank you so much for developing it this program it will really change my basketball career!

Thank you for making this awesome system that you made. I started the program with a 28 inch vertical. I am on Week 5 and I now have a 34 inch vertical. I went from barely dunking to doing tomahawk dunks. This system is great.

Thanks, Wyatt House

Adam,

First, I’m going to start by saying I was a lil skeptical of the program. But after nearly 2 hours sitting in traffic, I decided to give it a try!

After starting Vert Shock let me tell you – the results are amazing. For a player who didn’t even average 1 minute of playing time in high school your program helped me make a professional roster!

Here’s a pic of me jumping over the ball rack throwing it down after doing Vert Shock.

Thanks for a awesome program.

I’m a junior in high school who just last season could barely dunk. I sat on the bench all last year and was only on the team because I was tall. I had only ever dunked once in my entire life.

Then I did Vert Shock and now I average a couple dunks a game and even dunk on defenders. I’m also a starter on the team and have won multiple dunk competitions!

This year our team went on to win the Utah state championship. I had one dunk in the quarter finals, 2 dunks in the semi finals, and a career high of 4 dunks in the state championship game!!!

I can’t thank you enough for Vert Shock!

So what do you think?

Would you be willing to take the next 8 minutes to learn about the PROVEN jump system that could change your game, and ultimately your life, forever?

Please think about this carefully.

Because if you’re just someone that likes the IDEA of dunking…

But never actually wants to throw down a slam…

Do us both a favor and click the ‘X’ and leave this page for good.

If you’re someone that would rather have an ‘ordinary’ basketball career…

Maybe play a couple minutes a game…

But the only dunking you want to do is in video games…

Then the VERT SHOCK system is not for you.

Because this is an exclusive program only for those who want to be extraordinary.

Do you want to dominate your opponents and stand out in any gym you walk into?

Do you want to be recognized at parties and social events as “the guy that can dunk”?

Do you want to make it to the next level and make your parents proud?

Do you want to be the guy everyone talks about at school?

Let’s give it a go then.

“Your stuff seriously works! Thank you so much man!”

My name is Adam Folker.

I used to play NCAA Division I basketball at University of California Irvine…

And later went on to play in the pros…

See I’ve traveled all around the world and played basketball against some of the best players you can imagine…

Kobe Bryant & Adam Folker

So trust me when I say –

Being an explosive player with a high vertical is not optional…

It’s NECESSARY.

I’m only telling you this because I used to think I could get by on my height alone…

Until life pitched me a quick curveball… and all I can say is…

Kobe Bryant & Adam Folker

If it weren’t for the 3 steps in the VERT SHOCK system, which I’m about to share with you, I would never be where I am now. 

Let me explain…

First, look at this picture of me in 9th grade.

Here I was, 14 years old… 6 foot 4. 

You’d think with that height I’d be a star right?

Well guess what…

I rode the freaking bench on my freshman squad. 

Just imagine how that felt…

Being the tallest guy on the team but your coach only subs you in if you have a double-digit lead.

And how could I blame him?

I was weak, had zero explosive ability… and worst of all…

Now when you’re this tall, and you meet someone for the first time, guess what they ALWAYS ask you…

“Wow do you play basketball?”

How do you think it feels when people define you by a sport…

And you aren’t even good at it?!

I’ll never forget one game in particular.

This girl I had a huge crush on came to watch…

And guess what?

I sat square on the bench for the entire 40 minutes.

My highlight of the night was a few layups during halftime warmups…

I’ll never forget being so humiliated…

I just wanted to get out there and prove myself.

So I went home that night defeated… but determined.

Over the next 6 months, I must have spent a thousand hours looking up everything I could on vertical jump training…

I tried absolutely everything I could find.

Box jumps…

Squats…

Calf raises…

Those funny jump shoes…

Air alert…

Ankle weights…

But none of it actually worked.

I was so close to accepting that NO ONE could improve their vertical…

I figured that maybe it was all genetics, that you’re either born with it or not…

And before I show you this, I need you to understand…

What I’m about to show you is the difference-maker between VERT SHOCK and just about every other jump program on the web…

It’s the ‘secret sauce’ behind my 3-step system…

And it’s going to really piss a few people off.

Especially those YouTubers, who tell you to do box jumps, squats, whatever…

Meanwhile they collect money from ads every time you watch their videos.

Trust me, they DON’T CARE if you ever dunk…

In fact, in their eyes it’s probably better if you don’t.

Just think about it: if you finally dunk, then you stop looking up their videos…

And then they stop getting paid!

I’m seriously so sick of it.

Because over the past 10 years, I’ve spent very close to 10,000 hours refining this method.

And I know the REAL way to get you up above the rim… it all starts with targeting specific muscles in your legs.

So right now, for the first time ever, I’m going to reveal this publicly.

Anyways here it goes…

That night I found a link to a scientific journal study.

And it wasn’t any ordinary study, it detailed a secret, Russian training technique which proved…

“Athletes… can… improve their strength and explosiveness while working to become more agile… in as little as 6 weeks.”

I was skeptical when I came across this. 

Could you really improve your explosiveness in 6 weeks?

Was I really doing it all wrong?

So I put it to the test…

And here’s what I discovered…

Because it trains a unique subset of your muscle tissue which we call your ‘elastic fibers’.

And without getting into too much deep science they’re essentially the muscle fibers that turn your legs into rubber bands.

When you bend your legs, tension builds up…

And when you extend them it releases…

It’s all very simple…

The only way to increase your maximum vertical is to target and strengthen your elastic fibers.

Stronger elastic fibers equal more tension which equals a higher vertical.

BUT…

If you don’t train using special exercises, you end up neglecting them…

That’s why you can work SO hard but never see any results in your jump height…

Let me say, if you’re skeptical, remember I was too.

After all – if this Russian workout program was so effective why hadn’t anyone taught it before?

Well there’s a couple reasons for that.

I already told you about the so-called gurus on YouTube dishing out misinformation…

The other reason? Well…

The magic behind training elastic fibers was actually developed by a Russian sports scientist named Dr. Verkhoshansky in the late 1960s…

It’s hard to pronounce so I just call him Dr. Vert, or Dr. V for short…

Dr. V developed the ‘SHOCK’ method to give the Soviet Union an unfair advantage in the Olympic high jump…

He discovered that repetitive training like squats and other ‘usual’ methods had little effect on athlete’s actual jump height.

It wasn’t until he implemented workouts that targeted these elastic fibers that he noticed real results in the athlete’s vertical jump.

This allowed the Soviets to bring home the Olympic high jump medal in 1960…

And 1964…

And 1968…

And 1972…

You get the point.

The Russians dominated the high jump with the SHOCK method…

Anyways, crazy as it all sounds, several scientific studies confirm your elastic fibers are the only way to increase your hops…

All you have to do is follow the routine which began with Dr. V’s work and you have the blueprint to strengthening your elastic fibers…

Which results in a higher vertical jump.

The only problem is…

Dr. V’s research and training regimen is kind of scattered all over the place.

And a lot of it has to be translated from Russian.

There’s even a manual that his younger daughter recently translated into English.

But it doesn’t give you the complete training program.

It took me nearly 6 months just to find everything and go through his journal articles…

Then another 5 years to test and research the methods…

I wanted to find the best approach to gain the most inches on your vertical jump…

I even got a Professional Strength and Conditioning Certification in the process… that’s how deep I was into this stuff!

So as you can imagine, this has kind of been my life for the past 10 years…

And I wanted to put it all into an easy to follow plan.

That’s why I’ve spent countless hours compiling everything I’ve ever found on vertical jumping into a downloadable, done-for-you action plan which I’ve named VERT SHOCK.

And if you’re interested, I’ll send you a link to download all of my research, as well as the full workout plan today.

It’s the only workout plan I know of that can guarantee you a dunk in just under 8 weeks.

And remember you don’t need to buy anything special to use VERT SHOCK…

It can all be done from your home and you don’t even need access to a gym to use it!

Also…

Don’t let the ‘SHOCK’ part of the title fool you, VERT SHOCK is not only the most effective way to increase your vertical…

But it’s the safest.

Because inside VERT SHOCK you are not doing any heavy weight lifting – so it will not stunt your growth.

Think about it, does anyone ever go up for a dunk with dumbbells?

Or ankle weights, or anything like that?

No.

And we want to practice how we play.

VERT SHOCK is designed to target your MAX vertical jump by activating your ‘elastic fibers’.

So that means no weights or other fancy equipment.

Because remember, weights alone will NOT strengthen your elastic fibers.

But here are the 3 very easy steps that will…

Check it out…

During the first 7 days of VERT SHOCK you will be introducing your body to the unique movement patterns and exercises of the program.

And I don’t want that to sound intimidating at all…

It’s not hard on your joints… it’s no more demanding than playing in a pick up basketball game or anything else you’ve probably tried.

In fact, it’s probably a lot easier. Remember, we’re going to be working SMART not hard.

Everything I’m going to be introducing you to is centered around unique jumping exercises combined with precise sets and reps.

This first step is called ‘The Pre-Shock’ phase and it’s designed to get your body ready to fly.

You will train 4 days this week for 30 minutes per session.

Even though it is only the beginning, most of our athletes already see a 3–5+ inch gain on their vertical jump in the first 4 days!

Hey Adam,

Program is going great!!

My standing vertical was 19 inches and just on the second day it shot up to 23 inches!! Today is my rest day and then I’m back on the grind tomorrow getting started on the Shock Phase!!

Thanks for Checking in 🙂

Can’t wait to get to work tomorrow!!

i’ve been using this program for 5 days and i’ve already gained about 4-5 inches.

i believe in this program hands down.

Hey Adam,

Thanks for the program man I’m 6’2, 13 years old.

In just 2 weeks I can now easily can dunk it with two hands!!! Which means your program actually works!!!

I can’t wait for the weeks coming by.

thanks Adam.

Step 2 of VERT SHOCK training is designed to really push the limits.

Here we ‘shock’ your body into jumping higher than you ever thought possible.

This is where the real magic happens.

You will train on average just 3 days per week…

For a total of 40 minutes per session.

Each of your movements will carefully target those neglected elastic fibers.

It is important that you explode on every jump during this phase of the program…

…this is how you consistently reach your MAX vertical jump velocity and strengthen those elastic fibers.

After these 6 weeks you will be leaping higher than all your friends ever thought possible.

After these 6 weeks you will be leaping higher than all your friends ever thought possible.

“I went from barely grabbing rim to DUNKING TWO HANDED EASY!!! Vert Shock helped me go from benchwarmer to STARTING LINEUP!”

— Jared Cleary

Florida, USA · Vert Shock Member

The final phase of the program is the ‘The Post-Shock Phase’.

Think of this as the icing on top…

Where everything your body ‘learned’ in steps 1 and 2 becomes cemented in your muscle memory…

Ready to be called on at any time so that you can rise up and throw down massive rim-rocking dunks on command.

You will train 4 days this week for an approx. 30 minutes per session.

We back off the intensity this week and allow your body to unleash a FURY of vertical jump potential.

This is the most exciting time of the program…

You will feel much lighter and springier on your feet…

Your strengthened elastic fibers will make it feel like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

And now that you know a bit about the process…

Let me remind you…

I’ve already shown you dozens of 8-week dunk transformations from some of our members inside.

If that’s not enough…

Take a look at this video.

That’s my highlight reel in high school.

After learning about the body’s elastic fibers, and specifically training them with my VERT SHOCK routine, my ability to dunk changed my life.

It got me a full ride basketball scholarship to a Division 1 school…

Took me around the world.  Getting paid a salary to play basketball with the pros.

If I couldn’t dunk, I really don’t know where I’d be.

Remember my friend Justin? VERT SHOCK did the same for him…

And now look at him, he’s the World’s #1 Dunker.

So with VERT SHOCK, I now want to pay it forward and help YOU reach your goals.

I know what adding over 15+ inches to my vertical did for me…

…But how can it help you?

Whether it’s impressing your friends…

Getting recruited to play college ball…

Or even making it to the NBA…

I want to get you to wherever you want to go…

But in order to get there, you need to get above the rim.

Like these guys…

I googled vertical jump programs and spent well over $200 trying to achieve my childhood dream to dunk in a game and none of it worked! Then I found Vert Shock.

I said never hurts to try so I bought it and after 1 week my vertical increased 4 inches and I could dunk one handed. After 4 weeks I gained almost 7 inches and could just barely dunk 2 hands.

After finishing the Vert Shock program I gained more than 12 inches and bam I’m dunking 2 hands. Thanks to Adam and Folkersystem I achieved my dream.

And today I want to do the same for you…

All you have to do is…

I want you to be one of the lucky few who tries my new 3-step VERT SHOCK system today.

And I suggest you hurry, because there’s a limited number of access codes I can give out.

Just to recap, VERT SHOCK can take you from zero to dunking in just under 8 weeks.

And remember it’s the only program of it’s kind…

Because it actually zeroes in on those elastic fibers in your legs…

Which can improve your vertical as much as 9-15+ inches in just a few weeks.

And if you’re ready, I want to send you an access code…

But before I do…

I need you to understand how seriously I take this program.

This isn’t one of those YouTube playlists where you can just watch a few videos… skip a few…

It’s a very clearly scheduled 8-week regimen.

Like I said earlier, this is not a complicated program.

And it’s not that tough (remember – we’re working smart, not hard).

In fact, it takes just over 90 minutes per week to complete.

You don’t need to be athletic.

You don’t need to be strong.

You don’t need any fancy equipment.

But – you do need just one thing…

You need to WANT to dunk.

That’s it.  If you can promise me that one thing…

…I can promise to take you to the rim.

And it all starts with my VERT SHOCK program.

Now in case you haven’t guessed by now…

Access to the VERT SHOCK training system is not free.

And I’m sorry, I wish I could just give it to you for free.

But the fact of the matter is I would be losing money… and would very quickly need to it shut down before going bankrupt.

Between all the cash I spent doing the research, hiring a team to film and edit the videos, creating and hosting websites, producing and publishing the training manuals…

And acquiring the ‘Professional Strength and Conditioning Certification’…

I’d estimate I’ve already spent over $55,400…

Now I can’t charge you $55,400 for VERT SHOCK…

Even though it’s cost me a lot to make it available to you.

So today I’ve lined up a very special price for this jump training program.

And if you take me up on it now, I know you’re going to love it.

But before I tell you the awesome deal I have lined up for you, let me throw in a few more things to really make this a no brainer…

But when you agree to try VERT SHOCK right now, you won’t pay anywhere near that…

Because I really want to give you the best deal possible.

But when we’re dealing with something as special as Dr. V’s dunking secrets, I can’t just give this information out to everyone.

And if I set a low price tag on VERT SHOCK, guess what?

Everyone would buy it.

That devalues the information…

And the next thing you know, all of these fake YouTubers, which you already know I hate, would take the whole VERT SHOCK system…

…Put it on their channel and make advertising money off my research and PROVEN methods.

I’ve seen it happen before.  And I’m not gonna let it happen to me.

Because everyone who’s already joined VERT SHOCK would be pissed.

I don’t want tons of mad dunkers sending me angry emails…

I’d rather have a select few very, very happy (and skilled!) dunkers inside the program.

With that in mind, I’m keeping distribution of VERT SHOCK as small as possible, and ultimately protected from the masses.

That’s why I have to keep my prices relatively high…

So I hope you understand why the published price of VERT SHOCK will soon cost you $138.

Now considering how much this system can affect your vertical…

At least 9-15+ inches in under 8 weeks…

Plus, the $330 in free bonuses…

Is $138 Really Such a High Price?

Would you be willing to pay $138 to be a guaranteed superstar on your team?

To throw down huge dunks in front of your whole school…?

I mean what do you pay for a new pair of sneakers…

$120 for a pair of Kobes?

$130 for a pair of LeBrons?

Sure they make you look and feel cool on the court…

But let me ask you…

How much has a pair of shoes ever REALLY changed your game?

I’ve played basketball for over 20 years, and I don’t know anyone that’s ever gotten a scholarship for wearing pricy shoes.

But I know plenty of people who’ve gotten full rides for their ability to dunk a basketball.

Myself included…

I received somewhere around $44,000 in tuition money just because of my dunking ability…

And I got paid much more than that to play in the pros…

So please understand, dunking is a very valuable skill.

And I’m dying to see how much it could change your life… so I’m going to do something very special for a limited time because I want you try it today.

If you agree to try out VERT SHOCK today, I’m going to give you the best price I’ve ever offered…

I know you’re going to love this special rate.

First, take one last look over EVERYTHING you’ll receive when you agree to try VERT SHOCK today.

Plus 11 Bonus Modules (Total Value: $427)

LIMITED TIME OFFER!

The way I see it, you have three options.

Ignore Everything You’ve Learned Today

You can do absolutely nothing…

Even after everything I’ve showed you today…

The VERT SHOCK system…

Dr. V’s research…

Elastic fibers…

If you want to pretend the facts don’t exist, that’s ok.

But when you get dunked on by that average-height guy in your next game, you’ll always wonder if he went through VERT SHOCK.

And maybe he did.

So option #1 is you can walk away and wonder “what if” for the rest of your life…

Risk Everything By Going At It Alone

You can take what you learned today and go at it alone…

And good for you.

At least I’ve given you a ton of information today… so I’d say you’re much better off than most.

Now you know a lot of YouTube videos and so called jump ‘experts’ will lead you to dead ends.

So you could try to spend your time going through all of Dr. V’s research like I did…

It will probably take you a long time…

Like I said, it took me thousands of hours to compile everything…

Plus it took even longer to optimize VERT SHOCK for the maximum results in the minimum time (5+ years of testing and research!)

But if you’re someone that would rather spend a lot more time…

Doing a LOT more work… just to save a small amount of cash…

Well, then that’s your choice and I’m perfectly fine with that.

Just know, it took me over 5 years AFTER finding Dr. V’s research to finally perfect and finalize the VERT SHOCK system.

Or you can take the final option…

Let Me and My Proven VERT SHOCK System Guarantee You a Dunk in the Next 8 Weeks… By Adding 9–15+ Inches to Your Vertical Jump

Take one tiny action today…

And it could have one of the greatest possible impacts on your life.

All you need to do is click the ‘ORDER NOW’ button right now.

I’ve already done all the hard work for you. (That’s what you’re paying me for, after all!)

All you need to do is follow this done-for-you roadmap… consisting of just a few workouts a week…

And you can see as much as a 3 to 5-inch increase in your vertical in the first 7 days!

And 9–15+ inches over the course of the next 8 weeks.

The fact of the matter is…

There are already plenty of people inside the VERT SHOCK program who thought they were “too short”…

Too “unathletic”…

And “didn’t have the genetics”.

…And they’re all dunking now

So why shouldn’t you?

Why not take the risk-free opportunity to lay down your first dunk in the next 60 days with VERT SHOCK.

And most people see results MUCH faster.

But the clock is ticking…

So what are you waiting for?

Simply click the “ORDER NOW” button below and let’s get started.

I’m looking forward to watching your dunk videos…

The Top 10 Good Financial Goals That Everyone Should Have For 2018

If you haven’t realized this yet, I’m kind of a goal setting freak.

Some people do New Year’s resolutions.  That’s great, but I think you need to revisit your goals on a more consistent basis.  For me, that’s every 90 days.

Other people don’t bother to set goals. They choose – unconsciously at least – to rely on luck.

“The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself.”

Douglas MacArthur

Let’s establish up front that goals are something more substantial than dreams or wishes.

They can start with dreams or wishes, but they have an action plan behind them – something that spells out how we convert a desire into something real.

That’s especially important when it comes to financial goals. Since they require regular investments of money and effort over a long period of time, you need to have a workable plan to bring them to reality.

Start by setting some financial goals. If you’ve never thought much about this, here are 10 good financial goals that everyone should have especially for 2018.

1. Have a Well-Stocked Emergency Fund

We normally think of having an emergency fund as being a short-term financial goal. And from a mechanical standpoint, that’s true. However, an emergency fund has important long-term benefits, which is why it’s one of the good financial goals that you should plan to achieve.

Here are just some of the benefits that a well-stocked emergency fund can provide you with throughout your life:

It can take away a lot of the money worries that you have since you know that you will always have a reserve should you get into a tight spot

As is expected of an emergency fund, it will be there to cushion the blow in the event of a sudden emergency, such as a job loss or a large medical expense

It’s an important money management tool – if you can save money for an emergency fund, then you can save money for any financial goal that you have

It provides you with an intermediate funding source – a kind of halfway point between your paycheck and your investment accounts – that you can use so that you don’t have to disturb your long-term investments

Just having an emergency fund will make the wide swings in the stock market more emotionally tolerable, knowing that your survival isn’t at stake when the market falls

For us, having an adequate emergency fund has offered reassurance in many life situations.

Most notably was having our first son, building our dream home and starting my own investment firm.

When you consider all that comes from having a strong emergency fund, it should move it up the priority ladder a few rungs. Here are some the top savings account options for your emergency fund.

2. Get Out of Debt – Completely

The great thing about this goal is that anyone can do it, regardless of income or wealth level. And if you want to get the most out of your finances, it’s virtually a requirement that you get out of debt.

For the moment, let’s ignore the good-debt-versus-bad-debt debate. At some point in your life, all debt is bad debt and needs to be paid off. That includes the mortgage on your home. Although the purpose of that debt may be noble at the beginning, it’s no less a drag on your income than any other debt as time goes on.

There are more reasons to get out of debt than I can list here, but here are just a few of them:

Getting out of debt means that you’ll have full control over your income – and that’s an incredible feeling

It will leave you with more money for savings and investing – and even more for spending

It will remove the asterisk from your finances – I make $X,000 per month, but $X00 has to go to pay my debts

It will make it easier to quit a job you don’t like

It will free your mind of the worry and stress that come with debt

Before starting my career, I fell into the debt trap.  I had accumulated over $20,000 of student loan and credit card debt and I wasn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Thankfully, my girlfriend (now wife) helped me to see debt for what is really is – EVIL.

After we were married, it became both of our goals to become debt free and never carry a credit card balance.

I’m proud to say that after over 10 years of marriage, that’s a goal that we’ve stuck to.

Take that, Debt!

You can set all of the good financial goals that you want, but it will be difficult to achieve any of if you are carrying a significant amount of debt for the rest of your life.

If you have high interest credit card debt or several different credit card bills to pay every month, it can make a lot of sense to take advantage of a 0% APR balance transfer offer as well.

The Chase Slate® card, for example, gives you a 0% APR for a full 15 months, and all without a balance transfer fee of any kind. With this offer, you could transfer several high interest debts and save hundreds – or even thousands of dollars – over the introductory APR period.

3. Plan For Early Retirement

When I started as a financial advisor and finally grasped the concept of compound interest, I was determined to put myself in situation where I could retire by the age of 50 if I wanted to.  I don’t know if I’ll ever really retire, because I absolutely love what I do.

Even if you absolutely love what it is you do for a living, planning for early retirement is one of those top rated good financial goals.

Here’s why:

Reaching your retirement goals may take longer than you think; if you plan to retire at 50 you’ll have plenty of time to make it by 65 in the event that you hit a few snags

Poor health could make early retirement a necessity – if you’ve planned and prepared to retire early, then you will be ready

Family circumstances often require more of your time, and early retirement will help you to have it

Though you may not want to fully retire early, you may decide that you would like to downshift and not work so hard

It’s better to be able to retire early and not need to than to need to retire early and not be able to

There’s one other advantage to planning to retire early, and it’s a big one. By working toward early retirement, you will be front-loading your retirement investment portfolio. That will give you a larger portfolio early, which will mean that you won’t have to work so hard saving for retirement later in life when doing so may be more complicated.

For me that was opening a Roth IRA and maxing it out.  My wife, too.  In addition, I was putting as much money into my 401k that I could.  Trust me.  As a brand new financial advisor I wasn’t making much but I still manage to prioritize my spending and save a significant amount.  

Early in my career I had witnessed too many couples in their 60’s that hadn’t save enough to retire at all, yet retire early.  I made it a goal (and a mission) that I wouldn’t let that happen to me.

4. Create Multiple Income Streams

Even if you love your job, creating multiple income streams is a form of income insurance. For that reason alone, it needs to be on your list of good financial goals.

But here are even more reasons:

One of those income streams could be the part-time cash flow that enables you to semi-retire at an early age

If you want to start your own business – but don’t want to quit your job – starting a side business could be the way to do it

The extra cash flow from any additional income stream could be used to help fund your retirement savings

It could also be used to help you pay off your debts

Several income streams could provide you with an income portfolio, that means that you’re not dependent on a single source of income – ever!

Reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad was a defining moment for me.  Before then I was oblivious to the concept of having multiple streams of income.  Over the years, I dabbled in many side hustles looking for “it”.  That included a few multi-level marketing companies that proved to be a flop.

I eventually took a stab at real estate and also failed miserably.   Many would perceive these as failures, but I view them more as valuable life lessons that eventually led me to start this blog.  Now I have more than a few sites that yield over 6 figures per year.  Not too shabby for a guy that had no web marketing experience before I started.

Give this goal some serious thought, even if you’ve never considered it before. It’s a goal that could open the door to a lot of other goals.

5. Have Enough – But Not Too Much – Insurance to Cover Contingencies

Insurance is something of a tough call. A lot of people don’t have nearly enough coverage, while many others are paying too much for the coverage that they have. Striking a balance between the two is another of those good financial goals.

Here are some strategies in striking that balance:

Where life insurance is concerned, stick with term life insurance – it’s cheaper so you can buy as much as you need. Just make sure that you’re not buying so much life insurance that you’ll be worth more dead than you are alive; it’s just an expense you don’t need to carry

Unless mandated by state law, look into the carrying the lowest level of auto insurance possible, particularly if you have a long history as a safe driver

Take the highest deductible you can on your health insurance, and make up the difference with an emergency fund that is large enough to cover that deductible – if you seldom use your health coverage, you’ll be way ahead from the lower premiums

Part of your goal should be to work with a knowledgeable insurance agent on a regular basis to make sure that you have just enough – but never too much – insurance coverage.  Oh by the way, did I mention that I’m also a co-founder of an independent insurance agency?  🙂

6. Be Able to Live on Less Than You Earn – No Matter What

I’ve covered this topic in other articles, but it is well worth repeating here since it is one of the most necessary of all good financial goals. By learning to live on less than you earn – no matter what – you will always have plenty of income. That means that you’ll have plenty of income for savings, investments, and for paying off debt.

It’s important to always be on the hunt to increase your income. But that strategy will only be effective to the degree that you are able to live on less than you earn so that you can put the difference to better use to improve your life.

7. End Any Addiction to Stuff That You May Have

This may not be a financial goal in and of itself, but it is an obstacle that will stand in the way of all good financial goals, no matter what they are.

An addiction to stuff can be like a financial parasite. A disproportionate amount of your income and financial reserves will go to pay for your need for stuff.

This will present several problems:

Stuff needs to be stored, and as your pile of stuff grows, you will need an ever larger space to store it. That will likely see you looking to buy a bigger house every few years, with all of the expenses that come with it

Stuff is a capital trap – it ties up your money, but generally provides no financial benefit

Any money that goes into stuff, is money that is not going into productive investments

While stuff can make you more comfortable, only income producing or growth-oriented investments can improve your station in life

During times of financial turmoil, you may become obsessed with protecting and maintaining your stuff, which is not at all what you need to focus on

Stuff has a way of eating up time so that you have less of it to spend on more productive activities

I love this quote from Joshua Becker, author of Simplify: 7 Guiding Principles to Help Anyone Declutter Their Home and Life,

“Removing possessions begins to turn back our desire for more as we find freedom, happiness, and abundance in owning less. And removing ourselves from the all-consuming desire to own more creates an opportunity for significant life change to take place.”

If you even suspect that you may have an addiction to stuff, then make it a financial goal to end that addiction once and for all. Your life will go better if you do.

8. A Plan to Do Work That You Love

Ultimately, the purpose of improving your finances should be to provide you with independence in your life. That means that it should afford you the ability to do what you want when you want. If that isn’t one of the good financial goals, then I don’t know what is.

Getting out of debt, preparing for early retirement, developing multiple income streams, and ending your addiction to stuff, should clear the way for you to be able to do the kind of work that you really love. That should be true even if that work doesn’t pay nearly as much as you’re being paid now.

But that will be possible only if you have no debts to pay, if you can live on less than you earn, and if you have a large investment portfolio to back you up.

Why is doing work that you love a worthy financial goal? Very few people will actually be retiring to the beach for a life of blissful nothing, no  matter what you see on TV. If nothing else, it’s likely that you will work just as a matter of personal satisfaction – or an attempt to avoid boredom.

Since you will be working all of your life – one way or another – the work that you do shouldn’t just be about earning money. It should be something that makes you feel good about your life, and good about the person you are.

9. Get Comfortable Sharing Your Good Fortune

If you can’t get comfortable sharing your good fortune with people who are less fortunate – perhaps out of fear that you will end up broke as a result – then money has complete control over your life. It doesn’t matter how much money you amass in your life, it should never control you.

There are numerous reasons why giving to others will be good for you:

Letting go of money affirms your power over it – because you know that it will come back

Giving to those in need makes you part of the solution in the world, and not the problem

Hoarding money is all about security – letting go of it is celebrating its value

Giving to others just feels good – particularly the knowledge that you have the ability to do it

Call it Karma, a higher power, what-goes-around-comes-around, or whatever you want, when you give you get – maybe not always in the form of money, but often in the form of friendship, personal satisfaction, or even help from others when you’re in need

Is giving one of those good financial goals? I think that if you look at many of the most famous wealthy people the world, you will see a distinct pattern of giving to others along the way.

10. A Plan to Leave Your Financial House in Order Upon Your Death

However you live your life, it should be a goal to make sure that your loved ones are left at least a little bit better off as a result of your life. That means not only making adequate provisions for those who are dependent upon your financial resources but also making sure that you don’t leave them with a financial mess to clean up.

Here are some steps you can take to leave your financial house in order upon your death:

As discussed in #5, make sure that you have adequate insurance, particularly life insurance

Make sure all of your debts are paid, and if there are any large or unusual ones, by a term life insurance policy to pay off that debt upon your death

Consider the impact of estate taxes, if your estate is large enough to be subject to them (insurance can cover that too)

Discuss the financial implications of your death with your loved ones, to make sure that everyone understands what you want to do, and also so that you will consider any concerns or insecurities that they may have

Make sure that you have set an example of good financial management for your loved ones – what they learn from you will benefit them for the rest of their lives, and probably more than any amount of money you could leave them

Reaching a point of financial independence in life has nothing to do with luck or magic. It’s simply a matter of setting good financial goals and having a concrete plan as to how you will achieve them. Once that plan is established, and working toward those goals becomes part of the habits that make your life what it is, achieving financial independence can almost seem as if it’s happening on automatic pilot.

But only if you make it happen.

When’s the last time you wrote down your goals?  More importantly, when’s the last time you’ve revisited them?

7 Ways to Bounce Back After Slipping Up By James Clear

We've all been there…

You follow your diet religiously for a week and then break it with a weekend binge. You commit to working out more, hit the gym for two days, and then struggle to get off the couch after a long day of work. You set a vision for your career and get excited by the possibilities, only to get dragged down in everyday responsibilities and not return to your dream until months later.

I've been there too, but as time rolls on I'm beginning to realize something important:

These small hiccups don’t make you a failure, they make you human. The most successful people in the world slip up on their habits too. What separates them isn't their willpower or motivation, it's their ability to get back on track quickly.

There will always be instances when following your regular routine is basically impossible. You don't need superhuman willpower, you just need strategies that can pull you back on track. Habit formation hinges on your ability to bounce back.

Before we talk about how to get started, though, I wanted to let you know I researched and compiled science-backed ways to stick to good habits and stop procrastinating. Want to check out my insights? Download my free PDF guide “Transform Your Habits” here.

With that said, here are seven strategies that you can use to get back on track right now…

1. Schedule your habits into your life.

Give your habits a specific space in your life. There are two main options for making this happen…

Option 1: Put it on your calendar.

Want to get back on track with your writing schedule? 9am on Monday morning. Butt in chair. Hands on keyboard. That's when this is happening.

Want to exercise? Give yourself a time and place that it needs to happen. 6pm every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'll see you in the gym.

Option 2: Tie it to your current behavior.

Not all of your habits will fit a specific time frame, but they all should have a trigger that acts as a reminder to do them.

Want to floss? Everyday after brushing your teeth. Same order, same way, every time.

Want to be happier? Every time you stop at a red light, tell yourself one thing you're grateful for. The red light is the reminder. Same trigger, same sequence, every time.

The bottom line is this: it might be nice to tell yourself that you're going to change, but getting specific makes it real and gives you a reason and a reminder to get back on track whenever you slip up.

Soon is not a time and some is not a number. When and where, exactly, are you going to do this? You might forget once, but what system do you have in place to automatically remind you the next time?

For more on how to develop a sequence for your habits, read this.

2. Stick to your schedule, even in small ways.

It's not the individual impact of missing your schedule that's a big deal. It’s the cumulative impact of never getting back on track. If you miss one workout, you don't suddenly feel more out of shape than you were before.

For that reason, it's critical to stick to your schedule, even if it's only in a very small way.

Don't have enough time to do a full workout? Just squat.

Don't have enough time to write an article? Write a paragraph.

Don't have enough time to do yoga? Take ten seconds to breathe.

Don't have enough time to go on vacation? Give yourself a mini–break and drive to the neighboring town.

Individually, these behaviors seem pretty insignificant. But it's not the individual impact that makes a difference. It's the cumulative impact of always sticking to your schedule that will carry you to long–term success.

Find a way to stick to the schedule, no matter how small it is.

3. Have someone who expects something of you.

I've been on many teams throughout my athletic career and you know what happens when you have friends, teammates, and coaches expecting you to be at practice? You show up.

The good news is that you don't have to be on a team to make this work. Talk to strangers and make friends in the gym. Simply knowing that a familiar face expects to see you can be enough to get you to show up.

4. Focus on what you can work with.

We waste so much time focusing on what is withheld from us.

This is especially true after we slip up and get off track from our goals. Anytime we don't do the things we want to do — start a business, eat healthy, go to the gym — we come up with excuses…

“I don't have enough money. I don't have enough time. I don't have the right contacts. I don't have enough experience. I need to learn more. I'm not sure what to do. I feel uncomfortable and stupid.”

Here's what I want you to think instead:

“I can work with this.”

Because you can. The truth is that most of us start in the same place — no money, no resources, no contacts, no experience — but some people (the winners) choose to get started anyway.

It's not easy, but I promise you that your life will be better if you choose to feel uncomfortable and make progress, rather than complain and make excuses. Shift your focus from what is withheld from you to what is available to you.

It's rare that your circumstances prevent you from making any progress. You might not like where you have to start. Your progress might be slow and unsexy. But you can work with this.

5. Just because it's not optimal, doesn't mean it's not beneficial.

It's so easy to get hung up on doing things the optimal way and end up preventing yourself from doing them at all.

Here's an example…

“I really want to eat Paleo, but I go to Chipotle every Friday with my friends and I like to get sour cream and cheese on my burrito and I know that's not Paleo. Plus, I have a book club meeting every Tuesday and we always have ice cream and I don't want to be the only one not joining the group. Maybe I should try something else?”

Seriously? Is eating clean five days per week better than not eating clean at all?

Yes, I believe it is.

In fact, eating healthy one day per week is better than none at all. Make that your goal to start: eat clean every Monday.

Just because you can’t stick to the optimal schedule, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stick to it at all. Good habits are built gradually. Start slow, live your life, and get better along the way. Progress is a spectrum, not a specific place.

Furthermore, if you haven't mastered the basics, then why make things harder for yourself by fretting about the details?

The optimal strategies will make the last 10% of difference. Meanwhile, 90% of your results will hinge on you simply sticking to the basics: don't miss workouts, eat real food, do the most important thing first each day. Master the fundamentals now. You can optimize the details later.

6. Design your environment for success.

If you think that you need more motivation or more willpower to stick to your goals, then I have good news. You don't.

Motivation is a fickle beast. Some days you feel inspired. Some days you don't. If you want consistent change the last thing you want to rely on is something inconsistent.

Previously, I've written about strategies for overcoming a lack of motivation. For example, focusing on your identity instead of your results or setting a schedule instead of a deadline or developing a pre–game routine.

Another great way to overcome this hurdle and get back on track is to design your environment for success.

Most of us acknowledge that the people who surround us influence our behaviors, but the items that surround us have an impact as well. The signs we see, the things that are on your desk at work, the pictures hanging on your wall at home … these are all pieces of our environment that can trigger us to take different actions.

When I wanted to start flossing consistently, one of the most useful changes I made was taking the floss out of the drawer and keeping it next to my toothbrush on the counter. It sounds like a silly thing to focus on, but the visual cue of seeing the floss every time I brushed my teeth meant that I didn't have to remember to pull it out of the drawer.

With this simple environment change, I made it easy to do the new habit and I didn't need more motivation or willpower or a reminder on my phone or a Post-It note on the mirror.

If you want to hear more about my riveting flossing adventures (and how to stick to small healthy habits), read this.

Another example of environment design is the “green plate trick” that I suggest as an easy way to lose weight and eat more green vegetables. You can read about this strategy (and about the research explaining why it works) in this article.

7. Care.

It sounds so simple, but make sure that the habits that you're trying to stick to are actually important to you.

Sometimes forgetting your habit is a sign that it's not that important to you. Most of the time this isn't true, but it happens often enough that I want to mention it.

It’s remarkable how much time people spend chasing things that they don’t really care about. Then, when they don’t achieve them, they beat themselves up and feel like a failure for not achieving something that wasn’t important to them all along.

You only have so much energy to put towards the next 24 hours. Pick a habit that you care about. If it really matters to you, then you’ll find a way to make it work.

Get Back on Track

Change can be hard. In the beginning, your healthy habits might take two steps forward and one step back.

Anticipating those backwards steps can make all the difference in the world. Develop a plan for getting back on track and recommit to your routine as quickly as possible.

Beliefs

In a book that I’m reading : Tony Robbins’ Awaken the Giant Within, it asks me to list empowering beliefs and dis-empowering beliefs. I did this privately a few days ago but spent more time thinking about it and landed roughly here:

Empowering beliefs: 

I believe in making small changes that when done consistently over time lead to greatness (aka success, happiness, etc.). This has become a conviction through daily practices such as waking up at 5 am to sit quietly and drink my coffee, read Tony’s book (and others), doing yoga or other workout, walking the dog, having a mindful breakfast by myself or with whoever else is awake in the house, and then starting the rest of my day. I didn’t do this all at once, rather, added one activity at a time, developed the habit of doing it, experimented with adding or subtracting other activities, and stuck with the ones that work. 

I believe in continuous learning. I don’t know what I don’t know and the more I learn, the more I learn there is to learn. This is a life-long quest to be better, to learn more, to add to the web of knowledge that I’m so grateful to possess (and cultivate). My audible subscription is priceless... love listening to books while I drive to work! 

I have found a spiritual path that is consistent with my other beliefs and it helps me let go. I used to spend a lot of time resisting. Having found a church that I really enjoy, consistently hear messages that reach me deeply, finding community, and being part of something bigger than myself is incredibly comforting... I’m able to let go of my resistance to spirituality and belief in higher powers and “just go with it”. I like it and I’ll continue. 

I believe in doing something that I love that adds value to society. Also, connecting people and plants. These are career goals. It used to be all about plants but lately I lean more environmental. I’m also interested in exploring life coaching, ministry, psychology... disciplines that can help me help others. 

Strength comes from resiliency. Facing life’s challenges and surviving to share the story. So much adversity... life can be overwhelmingly hard. After a significant setback at work 6 months ago, I hit a bottom of sorts. It wasn’t just the setback at work, but the accumulation of so much stress over time, unresolved issues, neglect of values, and way more than I’m going to list now... but I’ve learned that strength comes from facing our challenges and overcoming them. This means we have to go through hard shit to feel accomplished. A fulfilling life requires hardship. I’m good at facing hardship. 

It is important to identify values and live by them. Some of the most important to me are as follows: Golden Rule, Responsibility, QTR (appreciating our limited/ unknown quality time remaining - make the most of it!), Compassion (I also call this practicing loving kindness), Action, Gratitude, Continuous Learning, and Service to others. 

Each day is an opportunity to begin again.  Each day is a lump of clay... it is what we make of it... stumbling blocks or stepping stones. 

I believe in spending money on experiences, family adventures, health and wellness, and living like I’m retired today, rather than waiting for the future to enjoy the fruits of our labor.

Dis-empowering beliefs:  

This part sucks. I don’t like thinking negative thoughts, generally try to push them away before they can take root. And, almost as soon as I begin writing them, I recognize they are holding me back and want to change them. But for the purposes of this exercise, here goes... (I started writing and then came back to add the following:) Man, this is funny to me. I am struggling to be honest. I’m proud of my empowering beliefs and embarrassed of my dis-empowering beliefs. I keep editing them to “sound better”. Fine, standing up to fear (should be a value above)... 

I think my marriage is always on the brink of collapse because my wife doesn’t like me. I feel rejected constantly through her critical nature, unattractive because she doesn’t engage in romance with me, and perpetually not good enough. She amplifies my flaws. I don’t think she does this intentionally, in fact, this is likely all in my head due to some deep seeded beliefs about myself and my worth. I fight with her because I feel threatened and lash out. It’s not fair to either of us to feel this way. 

I have a low opinion of myself and think others don’t like me. Despite all my achievements, success patterns, efforts to be a good husband and father, commitment to my job, family, friends, etc., I often feel ashamed of myself anytime someone is critical of me. I need a great deal of reassurance to feel good about myself. 

I have a lot of good intentions but need “lazy breaks”. Sometimes I just want to sit down, have a drink, smoke a doobie, and check out... do nothing of the above awesome things. Just not participate.  I think this is destructive. 

I want to quit my job and do something else but worry I won’t be able to provide for my family. Actually, it’s more like, I don’t want to have to work that hard because I enjoy the life I have. It will be hard to start my own company. But, I want to do it because my current employer doesn’t seem to value people over profits and I want to work for someone that does. I want to leave the world better that I found it and this is not happening at my current job. On the other hand, it allows me the finances to explore other aspects of my life (part of kids life, camping, eating great food, experiences, exploring spirituality, making new friends). There’s no need to change today so I keep going with the other ideas I’ve mentioned. 

I worry that I’ve inherited my mother’s depression. My mom had depression and she lived a hard life struggling with it. She taught me to keep going and demonstrated how to put others first, even when you feel like shit... But, I really don’t want to have depression... sometimes the way I overthink things, get caught up in my personal drama, throw tantrums, feel hopeless, feel the previously mentioned low self-worth, I think those things may add up to depression... Then again, that weight empowers me to keep moving forward. I refuse to let it pull me down. Just keep swimming and pushing forward. Again, perseverance. 

More to come on this stuff. Good changes coming, I can feel it.

A Nerd’s Guide to Mindfulness: Be More Mindful With These Steps

This is an article from Team NF’s Mental Health Professional (and father of 3), Dan Schmidt. 

Ever heard of “living in the moment,” been told to “stop and smell the roses,” or to just “go with the flow”?

Nothing but a bunch of tired clichés, constantly reworded slightly to clog up our Instagram and Facebook feeds by old acquaintances and weird relatives, right?

Perhaps, but there may be much more to these trite sayings than we think.

Do you ever pause a video game in the middle of a crucial point or battle just so you can “gather your thoughts” and “calm your nerves”? Just silencing your mind and focusing for a brief moment can really help you out.

You may not know it, but in a situation like this, you’ve just practiced something called “mindfulness,” a mental technique which enables you to handle problems better and reduce stress through balancing your emotions and mind.

Mindfulness is all the rage at the moment, but is it simply a cleverly marketed fad fuelled by hashtags and dodgy life coaches, or something that can perhaps help us on our quest to level up our lives?

So, if you don’t mind (get it?), let’s find out.

What the hell is mindfulness?

As with many “new-age” practices, the concept of mindfulness has actually been around for thousands of years. For us humans, thinking is kind of our thing.

It’s an incredibly simple, yet challenging, mental technique adapted from Buddhist practice to now suit non-religious contexts. Some people assume it’s about clearing your head and thinking about thinking “NOTHING.”

It’s actually more about stepping back and hearing your thoughts without judgment with a relaxed, focused mind.

“So what actually is it?”

Basically, mindfulness is just being aware of what you are doing, when you are doing it, and becoming a master of your mind, rather than being controlled by your subconscious impulses.

Even as you’re skimming through this article, how many other things do you have rushing through your head right now?

Thinking about what to cook for dinner?

Weekend plans?

How you should be working instead?

Did you already check your email?

Where is Karen Formica?

Worrying about the future or dwelling on the past?

Our world and lives keep getting busier and more ‘urgent’ (thanks to our phones and the internet), and as a result, so do our minds. Our thoughts and feelings are constantly moving from one thing to the next without a moment’s rest.

In fact, did you know our minds are lost in thought 47% of the time?

That’s right, nearly half of our waking lives, we’ve got our minds on something else. Yeah, physically I’m reading the same freaking book to my kids for the 80th time, but I’m actually on auto-pilot thinking about my work deadlines. The next day I’m at work trying to meet those deadlines, but I’m now mentally planning the weekend with the kids.

It’s like that YouTube rabbithole we’ve all been down. You might have started searching for “how to do a push-up” and then all of a sudden it’s 2am and you’re watching an instructional video on how to ride a unicycle and you don’t even own a unicycle.

It’s like parts of our brain and bodies are at odds with the other parts.

If you want to level up your brain, spend better quality time with your loved ones, improve your work life, family life, and love life, it starts with developing mindfulness.

Don’t believe me? Ouch. That’s okay, I’ll give you the science because I’m nice like that.

Does mindfulness actually work?

“Will this practice actually achieve anything, or is this just another waste of time mixed with pseudoscience and inspirational instagram quotes?”

Great question – what kind of NF Rebel would you be if you weren’t also skeptical and demanding proof?!

A whole lot of evidence–based research has shown consistent, reliable, and reproducible results that mindfulness has a huge range of health and psychological benefits. It’s been around for ages and been a part of psychological therapies since the 70’s: there’s no denying it, it’s not going away anytime soon, and the benefits are astounding.

Supporting the brain’s capacity to stay focused on what you are doing, as you are doing it, can help you in so many ways, including:

Stress relief

Building resilience

Regulating mood

Overcoming addiction

Improving sleep

Managing depression and/or anxiety

Increasing focus, concentration and learning capacity

Reducing heart rate

Improving immunity

Boosting happiness

So, want a better quality of life, without having to spend anything, go anywhere, or really even do anything? Why not give mindfulness a shot if you haven’t already?

With a little bit of patience, regularly practicing mindfulness for just a few minutes each day can improve your happiness and help you better cope with whatever life throws at you (even if it’s a blue shell).

Practicing mindfulness regularly reminds us that underneath our troubling emotions and negative thoughts is a deep sense of calm, joy and peace.

Where is my mind?

Stop and take a moment, right now. Ask yourself, as the Pixies did: “Where is my mind?”

Focus on this moment in your life, right now. Be present. Take notice of your posture, your breathing, the font of the words you are reading. Let your thoughts about this moment come to you, and listen to them without judgment.

Just focus on what you are doing, and ONLY that thing, right now. Just do it for a few seconds.

Congratulations, you’ve now practiced mindfulness. INT + 1.

Incredibly simple, but when practicing it for more than a few moments, it can be difficult to keep your mind from wandering. It’s like trying to herd monkeys hopped up on Mountain Dew, in a rainstorm, blindfolded.

At least, that’s what it’s like for me most of the time.

Think of it this way: As Jonathan Haidt puts it, you are a rider (your rational brain) atop an elephant (your emotional/subconscious side) – you do your best to guide the elephant and work with it, but it often does what it wants to do:

If you struggle with keeping your focus on something for more than a few seconds, you’re not alone. That device in your pocket is designed to distract you every 5 seconds, we’re in the age of RIGHT NOW and INSTANT, and every type of entertainment you need is within arm’s reach thanks to technology.

Here’s how you can start and develop your mindfulness practice, thanks to an amazing 80’s comedy.

Be the ball, Danny

Due to its simplicity, how one practices and gets the most out of mindfulness is really dependent on the individual. Some practice full-on meditation (more on that later), Nerd Fitness Yoga (or mindful movement), affirmations, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques or they simply find a quiet moment to themselves.

For me, whenever I have the time, or get stressed (which, with three young children, is more often than not), I get in touch with some advice from the sophisticated highbrow cinematic masterpiece, and my favorite movie of all time, Caddyshack:

Ty Webb, played by Chevy Chase, perfectly sums up mindfulness in a way I can understand with his golfer’s approach on Eastern Philosophy:

“Just relax. Stop thinking. Let things happen. Find your center. Be the ball.”

Just relax – Get comfortable and focus on your breathing.

Stop thinking – (Not completely) try to keep your thoughts from wandering away.

Let things happen – Let your thoughts come to you, and listen without judgment.

Listen to your mind. Be calm, fully aware of why you’re doing what you’re doing.

Be the ball – Keep focused on the present moment.

For me, “be the ball” is all about staying focused on what I am doing, as I am doing it. Initially, “be the ball” just started with my golf game. Instead of overthinking my swing, I deliberately wouldn’t address the ball until I had cleared all thoughts from my head and JUST focused on the shot in front of me.

Over time, I started applying my “be the ball” concepts to other aspects of my life like study and work, and found it was an extremely powerful antidote to keep my easily distractible mind focused on what I needed to be doing.

When practiced regularly, I’ve found mindfulness brings more calm and focus into my insanely busy life, while also reducing stress and building efficiency.

Want a more direct benefit? You’ll eat less!

Studies have shown that people who eat mindlessly (while watching a movie or a TV show, scrolling through their phones, or playing a game) consume significantly MORE calories than people who just eat (meaning they are sitting at a table, eating food, and not doing anything else).

Me-di-tate, good times, c’mon!

“Deep inner sense of calm and peace? So, it’s like meditation, right? Like Dhalsim in Street Fighter?”

Well, kind of… Mindfulness is classified as a form of meditation, yes, but “meditation” is a large umbrella term that encompasses and broadly groups together a wide range of practices under one label, which is handy from a language perspective, but can become confusing when talking about specifics.

For example, if you met someone who said “I enjoy fitness,” does this mean they like running, lifting, walking, hiking, sports or pilates? Or, if you’re “really into gaming,” does this mean video games, tabletop, small Austrian villages, role-playing, or even gambling?

Meditation (which we’ve covered really well here at Nerd Fitness) is really broad, whereas mindfulness is quite specific. They are certainly complementary, and there is some overlap between the two, but I like to think of mindfulness almost as “gateway meditation” or “casual meditation.”

Many who start with mindfulness may go on to explore more about meditation if they’re looking to delve in even deeper, but others like myself are quite content with our mindful moments.

If someone asked me if I meditate, I’d say no. I don’t “meditate” in the traditional sense; I guess I’m channelling my inner Ron Swanson here.

I don’t own a special cushion or one of those cool little benches, I’m not an overly spiritual or religious person, I’m not keen on crossing my legs for lengthy periods, and the smell of incense just reminds me of being hungover in Thailand.

But do I regularly exercise my mind for psychological and physical benefit? Hell yeah. It’s easy, free, convenient, beneficial and I can even do it on a plane, train, or automobile.

Now I’m certainly not trying to downplay meditation as a whole here at all (shoutout to all our rad Druids), as it’s proven that meditation is extremely powerful. Just know that you don’t need to meditate to practice mindfulness.

There are many ways you can increase your mindfulness in day-to-day life. This could be through specific activities like yoga, golf (my favorite) and art, or even by just paying more attention during regular daily activities like reading, cooking, walking, driving, eating or something as basic doing the dishes.

Regardless of the activity, just remember, mindfulness is simply awareness of the present moment. You can be mindful anytime, anywhere.

Start being more mindful today!

Mindfulness is something that everyone can develop, and it’s something that anyone can try. I’m racking my brain right now to think of an actual decent reason not to at least try it and I’m coming up empty. The mind is like a muscle, and just like we exercise and eat healthy to keep our bodies fit, practicing mindfulness is a way of keeping our brain fit and healthy too.

Let’s not allow important life moments to get away from us. Mindfulness keeps us focused when we need to be, and the benefits are amazing. Best of all, you can start right freaking now! (Well, maybe finish reading this first.)

Start practicing today by being mindful:

Simply take a few deep breaths

Go for a walk outside

Choose a natural object from within your immediate environment and just focus on watching it for a minute or two

Start to levitate (kidding)

A good place to start: notice a flower, the clouds, a tree, anything…perhaps not the sun though:

Try not to do anything except notice the thing you are looking at. Look at it as if you are seeing it for the first time. Carefully study every aspect of its configuration and just become momentarily consumed by it.

If you haven’t done it before, it’s initially a very strange experience. I totally agree with those of you thinking that this sounds like a bunch of hippie crap (once again, sorry Druids), but it can really help your brain reboot and become more focused and aware.

Give it a few minutes each day to begin with, that’s all we ask.

I’m not going to promise you that it will totally change your world and solve all your problems. In fact, it probably won’t.

OR WILL IT?!!?!?

No, probably not.

But it will open up the opportunity to get a different perspective on what is happening in your life. We can’t change everything that happens in our life, but we can change how we think about it, and with a strong mind, doing that becomes much easier.

Mindfulness is also a really personal experience; it can’t be guided by a scripture or orders. It can be introduced to a person by another who can explain its purpose and intention, like I may be doing for you now, but no one can direct you how to practice. That’s entirely up to you. Just try anything for a week and let us know how it goes.

So what have you got to lose?

Mindfulness is a positive, practical, easy and scientifically proven technique. It’s amazingly self-empowering to be aware of your experiences and see them for what they actually are, rather than getting caught up in the story behind them, which can often lead to mental health issues. Mindfulness is about letting go of the past (much like Nerd Fitness’ “We don’t care where you came from…”), focusing on the here and now and not stressing about the future.

The Mindful Eating Challenge

My dear nerdy friend, go forth and be mindful. With mindfulness becoming more prevalent, there’s a bunch of great mindfulness apps with programs to follow if you’re looking for some extra guidance.

So give it a try: whether it’s through full-on meditation, a guided app, “be the ball,” or simply by taking a more mindful approach to everyday activities like eating, the practice of mindfulness really can actively improve your life.

To make this more practical and concrete, I’m going to issue you a challenge:

During your next meal (or snack), I want you to ONLY eat.

Not “eat AND [insert activity]. Just eat:

No watching TV while eating.

No scrolling through your phone while eating.

No reading a book while eating.

Focus on the food in front of you, the person across from you if you are eating with somebody, and think about each bite you take.

That’s it.

Now, depending on how often you “eat AND [activity],” this could be brutally difficult.

Making this ONE change – only allowing yourself to eat without doing something else – could have dramatically positive consequences on your health. If you’re a mindless snacker, you can only ‘eat my snack’ without surfing the internet or watching tv.

If you always eat your meals in front of the TV, turn it off, and focus on the food you’re consuming.

Gunga gulunga,

Dan

A Nerd’s Guide to Mindfulness: Be More Mindful With These Steps

This is an article from Team NF’s Mental Health Professional (and father of 3), Dan Schmidt. 

Ever heard of “living in the moment,” been told to “stop and smell the roses,” or to just “go with the flow”?

Nothing but a bunch of tired clichés, constantly reworded slightly to clog up our Instagram and Facebook feeds by old acquaintances and weird relatives, right?

Perhaps, but there may be much more to these trite sayings than we think.

Do you ever pause a video game in the middle of a crucial point or battle just so you can “gather your thoughts” and “calm your nerves”? Just silencing your mind and focusing for a brief moment can really help you out.

You may not know it, but in a situation like this, you’ve just practiced something called “mindfulness,” a mental technique which enables you to handle problems better and reduce stress through balancing your emotions and mind.

Mindfulness is all the rage at the moment, but is it simply a cleverly marketed fad fuelled by hashtags and dodgy life coaches, or something that can perhaps help us on our quest to level up our lives?

So, if you don’t mind (get it?), let’s find out.

What the hell is mindfulness?

As with many “new-age” practices, the concept of mindfulness has actually been around for thousands of years. For us humans, thinking is kind of our thing.

It’s an incredibly simple, yet challenging, mental technique adapted from Buddhist practice to now suit non-religious contexts. Some people assume it’s about clearing your head and thinking about thinking “NOTHING.”

It’s actually more about stepping back and hearing your thoughts without judgment with a relaxed, focused mind.

“So what actually is it?”

Basically, mindfulness is just being aware of what you are doing, when you are doing it, and becoming a master of your mind, rather than being controlled by your subconscious impulses.

Even as you’re skimming through this article, how many other things do you have rushing through your head right now?

Thinking about what to cook for dinner?

Weekend plans?

How you should be working instead?

Did you already check your email?

Where is Karen Formica?

Worrying about the future or dwelling on the past?

Our world and lives keep getting busier and more ‘urgent’ (thanks to our phones and the internet), and as a result, so do our minds. Our thoughts and feelings are constantly moving from one thing to the next without a moment’s rest.

In fact, did you know our minds are lost in thought 47% of the time?

That’s right, nearly half of our waking lives, we’ve got our minds on something else. Yeah, physically I’m reading the same freaking book to my kids for the 80th time, but I’m actually on auto-pilot thinking about my work deadlines. The next day I’m at work trying to meet those deadlines, but I’m now mentally planning the weekend with the kids.

It’s like that YouTube rabbithole we’ve all been down. You might have started searching for “how to do a push-up” and then all of a sudden it’s 2am and you’re watching an instructional video on how to ride a unicycle and you don’t even own a unicycle.

It’s like parts of our brain and bodies are at odds with the other parts.

If you want to level up your brain, spend better quality time with your loved ones, improve your work life, family life, and love life, it starts with developing mindfulness.

Don’t believe me? Ouch. That’s okay, I’ll give you the science because I’m nice like that.

Does mindfulness actually work?

“Will this practice actually achieve anything, or is this just another waste of time mixed with pseudoscience and inspirational instagram quotes?”

Great question – what kind of NF Rebel would you be if you weren’t also skeptical and demanding proof?!

A whole lot of evidence–based research has shown consistent, reliable, and reproducible results that mindfulness has a huge range of health and psychological benefits. It’s been around for ages and been a part of psychological therapies since the 70’s: there’s no denying it, it’s not going away anytime soon, and the benefits are astounding.

Supporting the brain’s capacity to stay focused on what you are doing, as you are doing it, can help you in so many ways, including:

Stress relief

Building resilience

Regulating mood

Overcoming addiction

Improving sleep

Managing depression and/or anxiety

Increasing focus, concentration and learning capacity

Reducing heart rate

Improving immunity

Boosting happiness

So, want a better quality of life, without having to spend anything, go anywhere, or really even do anything? Why not give mindfulness a shot if you haven’t already?

With a little bit of patience, regularly practicing mindfulness for just a few minutes each day can improve your happiness and help you better cope with whatever life throws at you (even if it’s a blue shell).

Practicing mindfulness regularly reminds us that underneath our troubling emotions and negative thoughts is a deep sense of calm, joy and peace.

Where is my mind?

Stop and take a moment, right now. Ask yourself, as the Pixies did: “Where is my mind?”

Focus on this moment in your life, right now. Be present. Take notice of your posture, your breathing, the font of the words you are reading. Let your thoughts about this moment come to you, and listen to them without judgment.

Just focus on what you are doing, and ONLY that thing, right now. Just do it for a few seconds.

Congratulations, you’ve now practiced mindfulness. INT + 1.

Incredibly simple, but when practicing it for more than a few moments, it can be difficult to keep your mind from wandering. It’s like trying to herd monkeys hopped up on Mountain Dew, in a rainstorm, blindfolded.

At least, that’s what it’s like for me most of the time.

Think of it this way: As Jonathan Haidt puts it, you are a rider (your rational brain) atop an elephant (your emotional/subconscious side) – you do your best to guide the elephant and work with it, but it often does what it wants to do:

If you struggle with keeping your focus on something for more than a few seconds, you’re not alone. That device in your pocket is designed to distract you every 5 seconds, we’re in the age of RIGHT NOW and INSTANT, and every type of entertainment you need is within arm’s reach thanks to technology.

Here’s how you can start and develop your mindfulness practice, thanks to an amazing 80’s comedy.

Description:

From New York Times Bestselling Fitness Author John Romaniello, comes your chance to…

Specifically Designed To Remove Those Last Few Stubborn Pounds, Destroy Fat On Your Trouble Spots, and Build Lean, Dense Muscle In Just Six Short Weeks…

NYT Bestselling Author & Fitness Expert

Okay, so I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.

The good news is that I know you. We’ve never met, but I bet I know a lot about you.

I know that you’re probably in decent shape. That you’ve been around the gym a while, and know how to exercise; that you’re not really some newbie who doesn’t know a dumbbell from a doorknob.

I also know that despite that experience, you’re still struggling. That despite the fact you might be in “good” shape, you can’t seem to get into GREAT shape.

I know that no matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to lose that last bit of stubborn weight, those few pounds of fat that are keeping you from getting your ideal body; what I call your OMEGA body.

And I know that you—and thousands of others just like you—are frustrated beyond reason that no matter how hard you try, no matter what diet you use or how often you exercise…

…you just can’t seem to lose those last 5-10 pounds.

Yeah. That’s the GOOD news.

The BAD news is that most people in your situation will NEVER lose those pounds. Most people will NEVER go from good to great. Most people will struggle for YEARS to lose the last bit of fat, until they finally give up.

Simply put, the bad news is that the vast majority of people will never achieve their OMEGA body; they’re never get to see the “final” version of their physique, fully developed and without the extra flab.

And I’m going to tell you how YOU can be in the minority. How YOU can be in the 1%. How YOU can lose those stubborn pounds and unveil that Omega body.

If you’re like me, I bet you have. And, chances are, you’ve looked everywhere for an answer.

You’ve spent the money on all the magazines, scoured every article on the Internet…but you’re more confused by all the conflicting advice.

So-called “experts”—everyone from bodybuilders to overweight personal trainers to your one friend who lost 30 pounds so automatically knows what they’re talking about—tell you it’s actually easy…

…that all it comes down to is energy balance – simple – and that you just need to “move more” and “eat less.”

Well, they’re wrong. It’s not easy. Sure, energy balance is a real factor…but the idea that you can just move more and eat less to get into killer shape has a FATAL flaw (which I’ll cover in detail below).

Then there are the Celebrity Doctors promoting juice cleanses, specialty berries, and skin creams. You know…those “miracle” supplements that are supposed to suppress your appetite, rev up your metabolism, and eliminate fat…

…while you sit on the couch and tune in so the Doc can pitch you on something else.

Obviously, those are BS. But, if you feel like there’s just 5-10 pounds separating you from your dream body…well, who can blame you for rolling the dice on something that maybe—just maybe—can have 0.0035% impact?

I get it. Like I said, I know you.

You watch what you eat, you workout hard 3-4 times a week, and you’re taking all the right supplements.

Why is that the “scary” thing? Because even though you’re doing all the things you’re SUPPOSED TO, the love handles are still there, your pants are still tight, and you’re still UNCOMFORTABLE taking your shirt off.

Have you ever just looked in the mirror and wondered what MORE should you be doing?

I know I have. And I can tell you from experience, it’s a really awful feeling. And it’s not one I wish on anyone.

Truly, I don’t want you to feel stuck. I don’t want you to hate your body or feel ashamed because of the way you look.

I’m going to layout the top 3 reasons People Can’t Lose The Last Bit of Fat……And Show You EXACTLY How To Fix Them

And in doing so, I’ll explain why the constant struggle to get your body in a fat burning mode is actually shutting down your metabolism and sabotaging your progress.

…perhaps you’re wondering: who the hell is this guy, and why should I listen to him?

You’re absolutely right; that’s a great question—and I apologize for not introducing myself sooner. Let’s get that part out of that way.

I’m John Romaniello, but everyone calls me Roman. I’m a fitness expert and New York Times bestselling author. I’ve been in the fitness industry for about 13 years, and written hundreds of articles about fat loss, nutrition, muscle building, and how to lose the last few pounds. I’ve been on TV talking about those same things.

I also serve on the advisory board for dozens of the largest fitness companies in the world—in fact, I’m even the Head of the Fitness Advisory Board for some guy named Arnold Schwarzenegger…who also wrote the foreword for my bestseller.

Chances are, if you’ve picked up a fitness magazine in the past decade or so, you’ve probably seen me or read something I’ve written.

Now, I’m not telling you any of this to impress you; I’m just trying to impress upon you that I know a thing or two about this fitness stuff.

But if you’re trying to decide if you can trust me, ignore all of that. Forget the books and the magazines and TV stuff. The only thing you need to know is that my goal is to help people lose those last few pounds…

…and that I’ve helped thousands of people do just that. And I can help you, too.

As a coach and a trainer, I’ve done it all. I’ve worked with professional athletes, actors, record producers, famous DJs…

But mainly I’ve worked with a ton of “regular” people just like you, and helped all of them hit their goal, no matter what those were.

From packing 20 pounds of muscle onto a skinny vegetarian, to getting a life long couch potato to lose over 83 pounds in just 5 months, to creating the Number ONE program for helping people lose the last few pounds, I’ve spent the last 12 years helping people change their lives and bodies.

I Feel Better, Stronger, and my body fat has dropped to 5.3%! I really can’t say enough about this.

And…perhaps most importantly… I’m just like you.

You see, I wasn’t always in great shape. In fact, I spent the first two-thirds of my life being in terrible shape. I was never completely obese. But I was definitely in BAD shape.

Here are some words people used to use to describe me: Soft. Doughy. Thick. Pudgy. Chubby. Chunky. Fluffy.

…but no matter how hard I trained or how well I ate, I could never seem to get from being in “good” shape to having the body I wanted.

I could never achieve that lean, ripped, dense look I saw in the magazines.

And I could never figure out why. I felt like I was doing everything right. My diet was in order. I hit the gym consistently. I even took the right supplements.

Nothing worked…not really. I wasn’t about to resort to illegal steroids, so I resigned myself to being in “pretty good” shape, and never having the body I wanted.

This went on for about two years.

One day, I came across a study linking something called insulin resistance to regional fat storage. SPECIFICALLY, the study said that people with “poor insulin management” tended to store fat…in their LOVE HANDLES.

This was exactly my problem. Even though I could get lean almost everywhere else, I still had tons of flub on my waistline and lower back.

I began to think could it really be insulin that was keeping me soft?

And if it was how could other hormones affect fat loss? Or muscle gain? Or fitness in general!?

That was when my quest began.

I made it my goal to learn everything I could about hormones, regional fat storage, and how your basic endocrinology is PREVENTING YOU from losing those few pounds of fat.

I read studies, and books. I came up with new training methods and tried them on all of my clients. I tested and re-tested things.

Eventually, I came up with a system that I believed would completely FIX all of these issues.

With summer coming up, there was only one thing to do: test it.

Believe me: to this DAY it’s still unreal to me that I could ever look like that. But I did. And I do.

And so can you, if you do what I did: harness the power of your hormones. Follow a program that FORCES your body to burn fat instead of trying to store it.

But don’t take my word for it! Because, really, it’s not just me that the program worked for. Just ask any of my clients, who have all done the “impossible”….

I would absolutely recommend working with Roman to anyone and everyone. It’s one of the best investments I’ve ever made, and I promise you will not regret it.

As soon as I got my hands on the program, I was anxious to hit the gym and get my fat Loss progress back on track. And guess what? It worked like magic.

Everything about my body is completely different.

My clients get exceptional results. But the truth is, they’re not “exceptional” specimens, in the pure physical sense.

They have the same limitations you do. They have jobs, and families, and trouble spots. They’re limited by time and genetics and physiology. And yet they STILL get amazing results.

Which means that you can, too.

Anytime I start talking about my clients and the amazing success they’ve achieved, I always want to be clear and say that what sets my clients apart is not working “harder”…it’s working smarter.

You see, my clients don’t just train to “burn fat” or “build muscle.” They don’t just train to be “in shape.” My clients follow a strategic plan designed for the express purpose of obtaining their OMEGA bodies.

Speaking in strict linguistic terms Omega—styled as “Ω” is the 24th and final letter of the Greek alphabet.

In literature and other artistic representations, Omega is used to denote the last, final, complete, or ultimate limit of a set of object, concepts or principles. (This is in contrast to “Alpha”, which represents the beginning.)

I’ve always loved the general symbolism of that. To me—and my clients—the Omega body is the final body; the finished body.

Your Omega body is exactly that: your final form. It’s the body you have in your most developed, fittest state.

You’ve reached Omega Status when you’ve built all the muscle you want, and have stripped away the last bits of excess fat to reveal the lean, hard, sexy definition underneath.

THAT is your Omega body. And that is exactly what I’m going to help you achieve. To do that, let’s look at why getting it is so hard…why so many people just keep spinning their wheels and NEVER get that Omega Body they’re after.

As I see it, it comes down to three main problems…

You’ve tried everything. Bodybuilding splits, CrossFit, more cardio, less cardio and yet nothing seems to work.

I feel your pain…and I want you to know it’s not your fault. The amount of misinformation and confusion makes it very difficult for someone to stay consistent and actually find something that works.

For example, let’s look at your typical bodybuilding split: you’ve got Chest on Monday, Back on Tuesday, Shoulders on Wednesday etc…

Now, I love those programs. They’re fun. And they’re great for building size. But they ARE NOT optimal for fat loss—especially those last few pounds.

And yet, whenever I go a gym, I see men and women doing these outdated splits in an effort to get lean!

If you only train a body part once a week you risk the potential to build quality muscle and shed fat. Doing one muscle group on Monday and waiting until the following week is only going to slow down your progress. The overall volume is too low and because the focus tends to be on isolation movements the calorie reduction isn’t significant enough for maximum results.

For another example, take traditional Low Intensity Steady State cardio (LISS). Those are the 1-2 hour cardio sessions where you’re plodding around on a treadmill watching the clock tick by, bored out of your mind. The problem is you have limited time AND….

You’ve probably questioned the amount of time that is necessary to spend on the elliptical or treadmill. Hours upon hours are spent yet the end result is NOT a thin, slim midsection. In most cases it might be the exact opposite.

Doing Low Intensity Steady State cardio (LISS) can be very boring and most likely not even close to fun. It’s not something many people look forward to when it comes to working out. Throw in the fact that you have the potential to lose muscle mass, completely sabotaging your end goal. This just doesn’t make sense for you and your goals.

If there’s one thing I know about cutting body fat it’s that you must start with a tried and true, proven blueprint.

There are thousands of ways to lose those last few pounds and after working with celebrities, athletes, fitness models, moms, and the average gym goer I’ve been able to accumulate all of my research, results and failures by putting it into a proven system that WORKS.

It’s a plan that forces your body into a muscle building, fat burning zone…

If you’ve been around the fitness game for a while, you probably know about MRT, or Metabolic Resistance Training. If not, it’s basically doing rapid-paced weight-training circuits.

Without getting too far into the science, it’s been shown over and over and over again to be the most effective exercise for burning fat. Not only does MRT burn a lot of calories…it also increases your metabolism, allowing you to CONTINUE burning fat long after you’ve left the gym.

The problem with traditional MRT, though, is that it’s limited. Sure, it’s great for burning fat…

…but because you tend to use lighter weights, it can also make you weaker! When you go back to heavy training, you’ve got to play “catch-up.”

On top of that, traditional MRT is not designed with hormonal optimization in mind. And as we touched on above (and will cover in detail below), hormonal optimization is the KEY to getting that Omega body.

Omega MRT solves this. You see, instead of just “fast-paced weight-training circuits”, the Omega Body Blueprint uses FOUR distinctly different types of training.

Each one of these training modalities will help you burn fat…

…but is also designed with specific goals in mind. Some of them keep you strong (preventing the need to “catch-up” later), some help bring out muscle definition…

…and ALL of them train your body to release specific fat burning hormones that fight against that stubborn fat.

REMEMBER: stubborn fat is a direct result of individual hormones—Omega MRT is designed to address that directly.

What you eat plays a vital role in achieving the look you want. It’s especially crucial when you’re trying to eliminate the last annoying 5-10 pounds.

The problem is there is so much misinformation leading to confusion and more weight gain.

You’ve heard this before. Many trainers, dieticians, and even DOCTORS are telling you to evenly space out your meals in order to speed up your metabolism and keep it fired up throughout the day.

When it comes to eating, if you digest 3000 calories in 6 meals or 3 meals it still remains 3000 calories.

At the end of the day, if you are in a deficit, regardless of how you get there, you’ll start to see the magic happen.

If that’s not enough, research has been changing over the last decade suggesting just this.

In fact, I’ve got not one (1) but two (2) studies which illustrate that it doesn’t matter HOW many meals you eat—as long as the calories are the same, you can eat 2 meals or 10 and it won’t make a difference.

On top of all of this, it can be extremely difficult planning out six meals a day. Preparing, packing, carrying and maintaining this can be too difficult and not feasible.

Once again inexperienced trainers, poorly written articles and magazines have suggested you stop eating carbohydrates after 6 pm.

The theory behind this idea stems from the fact that you’ll be going to bed so your metabolism will slow down while your sleeping thus storing those carbohydrates as fat rather than utilizing it as energy. It’s also worth noting that it’s assumed insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance can be affected.

This study (3) took 78 over-weight police officers and placed them into either an experiment group (evening carbohydrate consumption) or a control group over a six-month period.

Greater weight loss, abdominal circumference, and body fat mass reductions were observed in the group that ate carbohydrates at night compared to the control group.

There is nothing about nighttime that suggests it’s time your metabolism slows down and starts storing carbohydrates as fat.

Listen, eating natural, whole, unprocessed foods is obviously good for you.

And, yes, it’s unassailably better to eat a diet that is loaded with nutrients and provide your body with what it needs to function properly than one loaded with crap.

The problem is that people have been conditioned to think they need to eat nothing but salads, seeds, and tofu in order to get lean.

The thought of having to transform your pantry and kitchen to that of a co-op can be disheartening to many people with good intentions of getting in shape.

Here’s the truth: eating all organic foods doesn’t AUTOMATICALLY make you lean.

More importantly: it doesn’t matter how “certified” these foods are—if you eat too much of them, you will get fat.

My point is, organic foods are awesome; they’re just not the end-all, be-all when it comes to dieting.

In fact, it’s possible to strategically place the foods you enjoy into your overall diet and still get unbelievable results.

When done properly, you can use this strategy to elicit crucial fat burning hormones that will help boost your metabolism and accelerate your fat loss.

Taking into account all of the misinformation paralysis by analysis it’s finally nice to see a solution that WILL work for you…

Anyone who’s been on a structured fitness program can tell you that nutrition is BY FAR the larger piece of the puzzle.

If you want to get your Omega body, you need to avoid all the mistakes laid out in the lies above, and really focus on the important stuff.

Omega Nutrition focuses on a few things:

Rather than force you to eat a certain number of meals each day, employing a flexible IF strategy allows you to eat WHEN you want, and as often as you want.

Not only does this make it easier for you to make progress and adhere to the plan, it’s also incredibly effective from a hormonal perspective. It’s been shown that periods of fasting help you control ghrelin (the hunger hormone) and improve insulin sensitivity.

In the context of dieting, cycling means that certain aspects of your nutrition are modified on specific days, based on activity.

There are a lot of ways to do this, but all of them have this in common: you eat more calories and carbs on certain days than others.

The primary reason for this is energy utilization and recovery. To put in the most succinct way possible, you need to take in more energy on days you expend more energy.

Apart from helping you look awesome, there are some other advantages as well: researches at Louisiana State University found in a 2005 study that calorie cycling prolongs your life; this conclusion was further supported by researched conducted by the National Institute of Health in 2008.

In short, calorie cycling is going to help you lose fat while you gain muscle, optimize your hormones, and live longer. Not bad, if you ask me.

These are just a few of the principles upon which Omega Nutrition is founded—and these, combined with others, make it insanely effective for losing those last few pounds.

These hidden gremlins tend to cause a lot of problems for the unknowing person. Your hormones are the key to solving a plethora of issues when it comes to losing weight.

Or worse, doing permanent damage with ill-conceived crash diets and poorly designed programs (that may not have been designed for YOU) that is difficult and sometimes impossible to reverse.

Ask yourself: do you ever feel tired, sore, fatigued, exhausted, irritated and hungry even though you haven’t done a thing all day? Do you wonder why your energy has plummeted and your appetite has increased?

If you feel any of this you might suffer from the following:

These are just a few of the primary hormones that can alter your body composition. These can be so problematic essentially giving you no chance to see results. Thankfully there is a solution….

It’s not enough to just “eat right and exercise.” Reaching your Omega body requires a specific strategy. It’s about doing the right things at the right time…and that means training and nutrition have to match up.

By strategically pairing specific training methods with the right dietary eating patterns, you can create a one-two punch for your endocrine system.

For example, something like “density training” can be used to increase testosterone and decrease estrogen, allowing you to fight against lower body fat…

…but if you pair a density workout with a high carb feeding, it will ALSO allow you to build dense, lean muscle while you do it!

The Omega Body Blueprint is designed entirely around the principles of hormonal optimization for fat loss – and that’s why it’s the only program that will allow you to achieve your Omega body.

I love how I look and how I feel about myself. I owe a huge part of that to Roman. Thanks to him, I’m fitter, leaner, and stronger, which all leads to crazy confidence.

… the most important thing was how his programs educated and taught me how to continue that same level of training and fitness on my own.

I am a Strength and Conditioning Coach and am always trying to get better. For me to say that John educated me [tremendously] in my own trade.. is impressive.

No way. You need to they combine various aspects of many different types of training and incorporate the best of each to break through plateaus and allow you to burn that stubborn fat.

If you want that look, this program is not for you. But I know that isn’t the case. I know you want to have a lean, sexy, firm body. Not just a tight, flat tummy, but also toned arms and legs that give the image of confidence and capability. Sexy on a whole new level.

If you’re trying to lose the weight, whether it’s 20 pounds to drop a few sizes, or the last few to get your ideal beach body, why not use the best stuff available?

And yes, I am biased. But I don’t have a bias towards my programs just because I wrote them.

I’m biased towards this program because it works the FASTEST.

You see, I hate dieting and trying to lose fat just as much as you do (believe me), so if something worked faster or better, I’d just as easily use and recommend that.

The fact is, I spent years trying other methods, learning from them, and making them better.

So yes, I have an anti-fat bias. The Omega Body Blueprint is the result of that bias.

In fact, I’ll fill you in on…

This manual covers the complete training theory and all TWENTY FOUR Hormonal Response Training™ workouts included in the program. That’s 6 full weeks of programming and training, all in once place.

And, to be fair, I think that’s an incredible value for what I deliver. However, you’re not going to pay anywhere NEAR that, and you’re going to get so, so much more…

Keeping records is vitally important – the single best way to progress is to know what to increase and what to decrease. The problem is, this can sometimes be a pain.

To make things easier and more user friendly, I’ve had these workout charts professionally designed so that each and every workout has it’s own chart, completely detailed with what exercises to do, how many sets, how many reps, and even some notes. Just print one out, bring it to the gym, and you’re good to go!

When it comes to nutrition, it’s not just about what you eat; it’s about when and how much. Well, the Omega Nutrition Calculator is going to take care of all of that.

The calculator will tell you exactly what amounts to eat, and how to spread them out based on your personal preferences.

Anyone who knows anything about fitness can tell you that nutrition is by FAR the larger piece of the fat loss puzzle. That’s why no matter how awesome the workout in OBB are, you need some guidance when it comes to your diet if you really want to build your Omega Body.

To that end, I’ve put down ALL of my theories on nutrition in one place; everything I know about eating for fat loss, hormonal optimization, and health in one place.

Supplements are an iffy part of the fitness industry. Some are fantastic, and others are complete crap—knowing which is which is the hard part. Thankfully, it’s part of my job. I’ll be honest and say that if you have the right stuff and use it the right way, supplements can definitely accelerate your progress.

And so in this guide, I’ve outlined the ones that will help you meet your goals, and give you a rundown of which to stay away from—incredibly helpful for getting results without wasting money!

There’s an old saying that if you fail to plan, you can plan to fail. Well, I’ve taken every step to make sure that doesn’t happen to you – and I want you to do the same.

To that end, I’ve created the Omega Body Blueprint quick-start check list – just go through the list before you start—it details EVERYTHING you need to get started with the program on the right foot.

Think of it like the Cliff’s Notes version of the manuals. With this, you’ll be playing with cheat codes.

The Omega Body Blueprint System can work for any man or women of any age…

…HOWEVER: It’s NOT for everybody.

Listen. This is good stuff. But like anything that serves a specific purpose and is of high caliber, it’s not for everyone.

I have no desire to see you waste your time and money if OBB won’t benefit you the way it has helped the people you see on this page. It’s that simple.

So here’s the truth: The Omega Body Blueprint melts stubborn body fat unlike anything else…BUT it is not the answer for people who’re lazy, unmotivated or are looking for the easy way out. Those people can continue wasting their time, energy and money on useless gadgets, overhyped trends, and insane “miracle” supplements that over promise and under deliver.

Personally, I believe you’re smarter than that. And I KNOW if you’re willing to put in the work, follow the instructions, and invest just a little time, The Omega Body Blueprint will transform your body like nobody’s business…without spending your life in the gym or preparing fancy meals.

BUT: if you’re just going to buy this system and let it just sit there with everything else on your computer, please don’t bother wasting your time.

YOU have to be willing to take some action; otherwise you’ll just keep being frustrated, keep spinning your wheels…and keep hating your body.

That’s obviously not the future I want for you, but it’s certainly the one you’ll face…unless you decide to do something about right now.

One final thing: I designed the The Omega Body Blueprint system to be simple… but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be EASY. It’s hard. The workouts are tough, and you have to consistent.

But I’ve done everything I can to make things are simple as possible: everything is laid out for you in a step-by-step blueprint that anyone can follow, and get results like Josh…

Great question. The first thing you need to know about me is that I don’t do this for the money. I just want to help people. And, to be honest, I’m sick of people charging too much for too little.

With Omega, I wanted to make sure ANYONE who wants to end their frustration with having stubborn body fat and NEEDED to lose those last few pounds could afford this system.

At the same time, I DO have my business and my family to think of, so I can’t give it away for free, or even charge this insanely discounted price forever.

So I’ve come up with a compromise: I’m going to offer a 90% discount on The Omega Body Blueprint for almost a week to celebrate the launch. But Friday at midnight, the price nearly

TRIPLES.

Personally, I think that’s fair: if gives people like you—action takers who are ready to make a change—the opportunity to get an amazing program for an extremely low entry point. And it allows me to charge a fair price for my services going forward.

Since this is an ebook (and not an expensive hardcover book, like my New York Times bestseller), I can provide you with instant access to everything you need in one easy-to-use spot and a super low price. I don’t have to worry about shipping, printing, or paying back the advance from my publisher.

The only thing I need to consider is getting you the product as quickly as possible, and providing the most value I can.

Remember, I’m not some newbie trainer at your local gym who doesn’t know his shit. I’m a bestselling author and advisor to HUGE fitness companies, and I’ve been perfecting these exact methods over the past 12 years.

All of which is to say that for the time being, I’m happy to offer the discounted price, and leave this sale running until FRIDAY at midnight. But I’m also doing something special to assuage any remaining doubts of skepticism, and remove ALL risk form you.

Without question, I believe OBB is the best program on the market, and I know you’ll be amazed at the level of detail and the quality of the information. Every component of OBB has been laid out step-by-step to ensure the fastest results possible.

With The Omega Body Blueprint, I know you’ll see results in just a few days. And by the end of the 6-week program, those last few pounds will be a memory.

But the best thing is this: as long as you stay committed to the concepts of the program, the results will last for LIVE.

When you pick up OBB, you’re becoming a valued member of the Roman Fitness Systems community. And we take that very seriously. My company prides itself on service, so if for WHATEVER reason you have an issue, just hit us up and we’ll help you right away.

This means you can actually use and apply all the unique transformation strategies and start losing those last few pounds with ZERO risk. If you’re not blown away AFTER you take action and get results, you can get your money back.

Again, to celebrate the new release of The Omega Body Blueprint, I’m offering the entire system at INSANELY low launch price. But please keep in mind that I can only keep that price active for the launch week…

So make sure you order now and lock in the launch price special while you can

I won’t lie to you: of course you can. It’s possible…but at what cost? How much more time are you willing to waste before you actually get to where you want to be?

As I see it, you have two choices…

This is what you’ve been doing in the past: trying to figure it out all on your own, or listening to the same trite advice from the same bad sources. You’ve done it before, maybe with moderate success.

I mean, hell, you could even stumble across your own system that rips fat off your body in 6 weeks. Stranger things have happened.

So yes, you could essentially do it yourself. It is POSSIBLE.

But ask yourself: if that was going to work…wouldn’t it have worked already?

If you do choose to go this route, be prepared to put forth a lot of blood, sweat, and tears while wasting what is a lot of valuable time—time you could be spending enjoying your new body.

I’m giving you a proven “short-cut to success” so you don’t have to struggle to find out what works like I did.

Make no mistake: I really WANT you to succeed. I want you to wow your friends with your new, hot body. I want you to feel what I felt at that party—because it was awesome, and it will be for you, too.

With this program, I’ve laid it all out there—the exact program that has been responsible for hundreds of my own personal clients finally losing those last stubborn pounds and achieving lean, sexy bodies that they can be extremely proud of.

And that’s why I’m offering The ENTIRE Omega Body Blueprint system for less than a third of the actual price during the launch.

If at any point over the course of the next 30 days you are not satisfied with your investment in The Omega Body Blueprint, just let me know and I’ll refund your money—all of it. Even the money I was going to use to pay my employees. You get it all back.

Am I that confident The Omega Body Blueprint is going to work? Damn right I am.

I’m giving you a full four weeks to evaluate the entire program, you don’t believe OBB is the most kick-ass fat loss program you’ve ever come across, you pay nothing.

That really IS the best I can do. Seriously. It’s the best anyone can do.

If you still have some doubts, lemme just take a second to give you a reality check: if you keep doing exactly what you’re doing right now, your body is going to look exactly the same. Period.

If you don’t change something, you’ll look the same next week, next month, next year…until age takes over and you look worse.

But until then, if you don’t make a change, your clothes will fit the same, and you’ll still feel just as bad wearing them.

The Omega Body Blueprint is the perfect way to make that change.

Remember, although all of the aggravation, frustration, and wasted time you’ve experienced hasn’t been your fault, now that you know the truth, it’s your responsibility to take action.

If you continue to use outdated, generic diets and programs—you know, the ones that you’ve been doing and that haven’t gotten you anywhere?—you’ll only make it harder to lose those final few pounds and unveil your OMEGA body in the long run.

I know this, because I’ve helped thousands upon thousands of people all over the world regain their confidence and live their lives with the body of their dreams.

Just like you, with The Omega Body Blueprint, they were able to discover:

Simply by applying the same step-by-step principles that all of my clients—including all the people on this page have—you can absolutely change your body.

And that is what I want for you.

So, go ahead. Take action.

If so, click here right now to order the sure-fire training system that is going to get you to that coveted position– to that elusive stage of physical fitness that separates most people from their goals.

That’s cool. No need to read any further.

If ANY of these apply to you, then you need to discover the secrets of the training methods that will help lose the fat and get you to your Final Form.

Keep in mind, I offer a 100% risk-free, money back guarantee. If you think it’s too good to be true, let me prove you wrong.

Stop making excuses and start making progress. You owe it to yourself.

If you’re thinking about working with the Chief Bro King of the Roman Fitness Empire, DO IT.

The Omega Body Blueprint is a rapid fat loss training program that uses the most effective training styles in the world to help you lose fat—not only from your body as a whole, but ALSO from your problem areas.

It’s comprised of scientifically designed workouts that take into account everything from staying ahead of your body’s adaptation curve in order to balance hormones.

This allows Omega to counter-act your your body’s fat storage patterns.

Absolutely! You see, problem areas exist because of hormones. In fact, certain hormonal levels heavily influence the places you store fat the easiest and from which it is the hardest to lose fat.

As an example, if you store fat mostly in the belly, then chances are you have high cortisol.

If you store a lot of fat in your love handles, this I because of insulin management.

Finally, if you mostly store fat in your lower body—your hips and thighs—then it’s because of your estrogen levels.

Well, The Omega Body Blueprint addresses ALL OF THOSE issues—both independently and collectively.

You see, OBB is a special program: the workouts have been designed to specifically release hormones that help to offset fat storage.

Each of the different training styles in OBB is designed to generate a different hormonal response, each of which is intended to offset a particular issue caused by one of the previously mentioned hormonal imbalances.

All of which is to say—it doesn’t matter WHERE you’re storing your stubborn fat; Omega is equipped to deal specifically with that difficulty. The combination of MRT, Density Training, Lactic Acid Training and Strength Circuits WILL help you burn off those last few pounds.

Fat doesn’t discriminate when it comes to who gains weight, and neither should programs discriminate on the fat they fight. Men AND women can benefit equally.

In fact, a lot of my best clients are women; they tend to be the hardest workers—especially the brides! (I’ve never seen ANYONE work harder in the gym than a woman preparing for her wedding.)

As for men: generally speaking, guys have a higher level of familiarity with weight training, so the learning curve is usually a bit shorter for them (but only in the beginning!).

Then you can still absolutely benefit from The Omega Body Blueprint. As one of the most sophisticated fat loss programs available, OBB benefits nearly anyone.

However, like any great program, it was really designed with 3 types of people in mind:

1) Anyone who has hit a fat loss plateau. If you’ve been struggling at the same weight for a while and need to break through and start your fat loss again, this is your answer.

2) Someone who is dealing with “problem area” fat loss. If you’ve been struggling to lose the love handles or you can’t figure out why no matter what you do your belly fat won’t budge, then FPFL is the next step. The workouts and the way they fight hormones with hormones is exactly the right fit.

3) People who have ever struggled to lost the last few pounds. If you feel that “so close, yet so far” feeling, you absolutely NEED to be using The Omega Body Blueprint.

While having access to a gym definitely helps (and, in my opinion, makes any program more effective), you can certainly do these workouts at home. All you need is some dumbbells and a Swiss ball!

The workouts are written using barbells and benches, but that DOES NOT mean that’s how they need to be DONE!

Nearly any barbell exercise can be done with dumbbells, and almost all exercises have a suitable bodyweight alternative. If you want to “change things up” you can use resistance bands, or even fun equipment like kettlebells.

The main thing to remember is that while the workouts in The Omega Body Blueprint are the most exceptional fat burning workouts ever put down on paper…

…it’s the CONCEPTS contained within the program that make OBB special.

The different training styles, the way to perform them—if you apply these concepts to training at home…you will get phenomenal results.

Absolutely! From the time I started training, I’ve been working with parents and grandparents and people 2-3 times my own age. And that goes for my own mom.

When it comes to fitness, people don’t need to place limits on themselves because of age—and that includes using a program like OBB.

For example, here’s my client John. He’s over 60, but the concepts in OBB helped him lose fat and gain muscle.

As a 61 year old guy — who was out of shape and heavy, and who had never done resistance training in his life — it’s incredible to me that over the course of my time in the coaching program, Roman transformed me into someone who is constantly complimented in the gym and in public for the shape that he’s in!

And John’s not the only one! I’ve had dozens of people go through this very program who are over 70!

The main thing to understand is that everything is scalable; if something is new or feels unfamiliar, with a little practice you’ll be ready to go.

And keep in mind that as we age, that for people over 50… The Omega Body Blueprint is even MORE important.

As we age, our fat burning hormones begin to decline, and a program intended to boost them is going to be even more important now than when you were 40.

Well, that depends on your definition of beginner.

The Omega Body Blueprint is advanced in nature, and not really designed for people who have never trained before. It’s really for people who would categorize themselves as having a least some experience.

That said, modifications can be made to make it suitable for a wide range of fitness levels and starting points.

So, if you’re a “beginner” who is willing to work and learn as you go then YES, this is for you.

This is the simplest question of all. If by some chance it doesn’t work…well, then it’s free.

Seriously. No question asked. That’s just the way it works.

Let me just put it this way: I know the impact The Omega Body Blueprint has had on my clients, and I know its value. I’m confident that anyone who follows it will get results. Period.

And so I offer a completely awesome and totally bullet-proof, 30-day guarantee for a refund. No tricks, no loopholes. No hard feelings.

I’ll give you a full 30 days to try the program and if at the end of it you feel it wasn’t effective, you get every penny back. It’s that simple.

I’m so confident in Omega Body Blueprint that I can do this, because I know the program flat out works.

Test it for yourself. Experience the results for yourself. And if it’s not everything I’ve told you it is, I’ll give you a full refund and allow you to keep the entire system just for giving it an honest try.

NOTE: The Omega Body Blueprint system is a completely downloadable series of e-manuals and streaming video files. No physical products will be shipped. After you order, you’ll get INSTANT ACCESS to download all product components onto your computer (no waiting or shipping costs!). The format for all manuals, workbooks, checklists, etc, is adobe acrobat PDF, which can be viewed on Mac or PC.

Obligatory disclaimer: The FTC requires us to specify what “typical” results are. The truth: most people never do anything with the products they buy, so most of the time, their typical results are zero. The biggest factor is you. BUT, for those who actually USE the program, all of the success stories featured above are very typical in terms of results.
