Holler.

The past 3 months I have been doing a combination of gymnastics fundamentals and weightlifting.  The gymnastics has consisted of push ups progressions, single leg squats regressions, ring rows and a variety of pike-esque ab work not to leave out crazy ass flexibility/strength exercises.  The weightlifting has been the Brute Force program put out by Zach Even-Esh.  I feel great and am getting very lean as I have also locked in my diet....more on that later.  Gotta go fix my clutch in my sweet ass 97 prizm.  That's right, it's as pimp as it sounds ;)

I just watched a great video wherein Paul Chek talked about primal patterns and infant development and it sparked something in me.  As babies we first learn we have a front and back then a top and bottom then left and right sides.  We crawl then push and pull then we squat then we bend then lunge then twist and finally we walk.  I find it fascinating so many people come to me wanting to train for whatever reason.  They can walk relatively well yet have trouble completing a body weight squat, have no idea how to keep a neutral spine in a bend patterns and also have no spatial awareness in lunge patterns.  These patterns have gone quiet, the neuromuscular pathways have atrophied due to a sedentary world we live in.  These are usually the same folks doing a bunch of cardio and machine weight routines eating low fat diets and making no progress. I don't know it was just interesting how we start at A and end at Z yet many are walking around doing Z without the ability to do the prior steps.  

Of your excuses!  Get in the gym and do work.  Eat meat and veggies.  Sleep more.  Just to those things and stop looking for the shortcut.  Stop being a lazy asshole and stop thinking it has to be complicated.  Do what I tell you and you will see results. Period
