<p>Hey&#8230; HEY!  Keep your mind out of the gutter!</p>
<p>By &#8220;dirty&#8221; I mean down and dirty&#8230; as in taken with my crappy iPhone camera by my friend and guru trainer Roland&#8230; while looking into a mirror&#8230; with no lighting, tan&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, you get the point.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example&#8230; this was me listening to Nine Inch Nail&#8217;s song <cite>Vessel</cite> so I wasn&#8217;t exactly all-smiles&#8230; but I like listening to aggressive music when I train. My training partner/trainer Roland took this shot while I was staring in the mirror contemplating the next Smith Machine Press set with only 40 seconds of rest and using 225 pounds&#8230; yikers&#8230; my aching delts!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jonbenson.com/gym/web_chest_delts2.jpg" alt="Dirty Pic: Jon's chest, delts, arms... safe for work... : )" /></p>
<p>Keep reading&#8230; I&#8217;ll explain. </p>
<p>First, notice the definition in the arms, delts, and chest&#8230; (kidding&#8230; : )</p>
<p>But I really am in the best shape of my career, or rather heading that way, carrying almost 30 pounds more muscle than my pictures from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mindbodyaction.com/goto/Fit_Over_40/84/1" onclick="window.open('http://www.fitover40.com/aff/sbeard');return false;">Fit Over 40</a> (taken right before my 40th birthday). </p>
<p>So&#8230;</p>
<h2>What Gives?<br />A 7-Day Deal, That&#8217;s What!</h2>
<p>Before I get to the REAL deal, I want you to get this:</p>
<p><strong>I started my peak-cycle training only 3 weeks ago!</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve dropped almost 10 pounds of pure fat and added 2.7 pounds of lean mass during that time.</p>
<p>This, without drugs, at the age of <strong>almost 47.</strong> </p>
<p>I plan to have a &#8216;real&#8217; photo shoot on my birthday, October 14th. So I&#8217;m WAY ahead of the curve.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a few more shots to let you see my progress&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.jonbenson.com/gym/web_calf_tricep.jpg" alt="Dirty Pic: Jon's calves and triceps plus side-chest... safe for work... : )" /></p>
<p><img src="http://www.jonbenson.com/gym/web_legs.jpg" alt="Dirty Pic: Jon's legs... safe for work... : )" /></p>
<p>Crapy, crappy iPhone pics&#8230; I know&#8230; but hey, give me a tan and a studio and I&#8217;d look better, not worse&#8230; so why not show you what I see in the mirror? It&#8217;s more fun that way. And more honest, although I do enjoy real photo shoots.</p>
<h2>Now For The Really Good Part&#8230;</h2>
<p>After these shots I enjoyed a huge slice of Key Lime Pie (my favorite) and some cheesy bread later in the day. </p>
<p>You see, I practice what I preach in regards to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mindbodyaction.com/goto/My_Every_Other_Day_Diet_System_of_Eating/84/2" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/sbeard');return false;">My Every Other Day Diet System of Eating</a> &#8230; and that&#8217;s not all:</p>
<p>I trained my abs and calves today. Abs: 3 Minutes (using 3 Minute Abs, which comes with <a rel="nofollow" href="http://mindbodyaction.com/goto/7_Minute_Muscle/84/3" onclick="window.open('http://www.7minutemuscle.com/aff/sbeard');return false;">7 Minute Muscle</a> (it&#8217;s a whopping 1 page long&#8230; but worth the price of the book.)</p>
<p>Calves: 7 minutes (using the 7MM protocol.) </p>
<p>Are you getting the picture folks?  <strong>This combo of diet and training WORKS.</strong></p>
<h2>Just For Bodybuilders?</h2>
<p>Hardly. In fact I wrote both books for the masses. I just included advanced sections in each for athletes and bodybuilders like me. </p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be blunt:  If you want &#8220;any&#8221; amount of muscle added to your frame (and you should&#8230; muscle burns calories around the clock and creates those nice curves you want) then you need to train with resistance. The only difference between the way I train and the way most people (non-bodybuilders) train is the level of intensity and (in my case) I train a bit longer than my 14-minute protocol during a peak. But as you can see, I&#8217;m already IN near-peak condition before my longer bouts begin in the gym. Body fat: 6.2% (measured with calipers.) Weight: 214 pounds.</p>
<p>Again, not bad for a (nearly) 47-year-old natural athlete!</p>
<p>But this isn&#8217;t about me&#8230; well, it kinda is as these shots were so &#8220;dirty&#8221; I really dig &#8216;em&#8230; I like the raw look better than the studio shots most of the time&#8230; : ) No way&#8230;</p>
<h2>This Is About YOU!</h2>
<p>I&#8217;ve combined both The Every Other Day Diet and 7 Minute Muscle (also called &#8220;7 Minute Body&#8221;) for a price that&#8217;s less than the original &#8220;7 Minute Muscle&#8221; &#8230; that&#8217;s hard to beat, and it won&#8217;t last but another week.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right:  EODD will no longer feature a discounted version of &#8220;7 Minute Muscle&#8221; starting NEXT WEEK. Sorry&#8230; all good things&#8230;</p>
<p>Also&#8230; <strong>and The Radical Fat Loss Blueprint, which currently comes with EODD for FREE, will be taken off the freebie shelf for good.</strong></p>
<p>So, if you want:</p>
<p>1. The Every Other Day Diet (the EODD Plan I use is included, called &#8220;The Extreme Plan&#8221;)</p>
<p>2. 7 Minute Body (the workouts I use 50% of the time; the other 50% I like to train longer than 7-14 minutes because I&#8217;m a gym rat&#8230; but you DON&#8217;T HAVE TO&#8230; really. : )</p>
<p>3. AND The Radical Fat Loss Blueprint <strong>FREE</strong> (this is how I dropped so much fat so quickly&#8230; and you can shed up to 21 pounds in 21 days if you really work at it and you follow the supplement cycle) </p>
<p><strong>Then go here and watch my video presentation on EODD</strong>:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://mindbodyaction.com/goto/My_Every_Other_Day_Diet_System_of_Eating/84/4" onclick="window.open('http://www.everyotherdaydiet.com/aff/sbeard');return false;">My Every Other Day Diet System of Eating</a></p>
<p>After you purchase EODD you&#8217;ll be taken to a page to get 7 Minute Body <strong>at a massive discount&#8230;</strong> and you will ALSO get The Radical Fat Loss Blueprint FREE.</p>
<p>This ends next week&#8230; hop to it.</p>
<p>Your comments are welcome below&#8230; I&#8217;ll try to answer questions pertaining to training, EODD, 7MM, etc&#8230; but bear in mind I&#8217;m speaking at a fitness gathering this weekend so I&#8217;ll be hit and miss on my laptop.</p>
<p>Now there&#8217;s a better way to train (faster) and diet (with your favorite foods used as TOOLS to force more fat-burning)&#8230; it&#8217;s up to you to take it.</p>

<p>Can you workout only one day out of three and make gains?</p>
<p>I certainly can&#8230; and I bet you can too.</p>
<p>Today I begin my audio series where I address your questions and comments. Today&#8217;s question comes from Mike K. in NYC who asks&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hi Jon&#8230;First, I LOVE your Every Other Day Diet and 7 Minute Muscle books!  But I was wondering if you could help me with a problem. I&#8217;m having a hard time finding the time to make it to the gym using 7 Minute Muscle. Obviously I&#8217;m not referring to the 7 minutes (ha!) but the 5-day-per-week Monday-Friday schedule you recommend for beginners. Is there any alternatives? Thanks!&#8221;M</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Below you&#8217;ll find my response and a workout plan you can put to use today to make faster gains with less overall time in the gym. Just click the &#8220;play&#8221; button to listen in.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
