That Will Never Work!

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1


Back when I was playing college football I was trying to gain weight to put on muscle and bulk up for playing on the line.


I was sitting at 250 pounds but knew I needed to be over 260 to be more effective at offensive guard.


I came across this radical program from Eastern Bloc Europe called the "Bulgarian Burst." 


When I read through this program, it contradicted much of what I had been taught about weightlifting and putting on muscle.


I was feeling stuck so even though I hadn't ever done this program before, I took a leap of faith. I was hoping to build muscle even though I hadn't seen any guarantees that this program would work. 


I went all in and followed the program to a tee.


I completed it in the fall and when I reported to training camp I had gone from 250 to 265 and was more muscular and leaner than when I had started. 


Many of my teammates accused me of steroid use.


It was the MOST effective muscle building workout I have ever done.


From that point I learned that to NEVER discount things that look different. Those things might be the EXACT shake up you need.


Recently, I was introduced to a very different weight loss program called the F.A.T. method.


It looked completely different than anything I have ever run. The trainer who created it has gotten tremendous results and success with it over the past 2 years.


After talking with some of my colleagues who have implemented this program, I decided to invest in it.


Some of the aspects about it are very different than what I have been doing. Not that what I was doing was not effective...but I always look for ways to do things better.


Much like that Bulgarian Burst program, this one looks very different. But I cannot argue with the results it has gotten so many people.


With that being said, we are retooling our group nutrition program formerly known as BOD SQUAD to the F.A.T. Method.


I'm excited to launch this on Monday, January 9th and start getting people life transforming results.


As an extra incentive I am running a contest. I am giving away one F.A.T. Method program as a GRAND PRIZE and $100 off gift certificates to 10 runners up. 


I will be drawing the winners in my free Facebook group GET FIT WITH ERIK on Thursday, January 5th at 4PM. You can join that group by going here.

I have a goal of 50 life changing transformations in 2023 and I want you to be one of them Tracy. 


This would be a great first step for you so I hope you will join us.


Dedicated to your 2023 breakthrough,


Erik Peacock

A group of people are running a marathon on a city street.
By Puravida Fitness October 30, 2024
Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
