I am an Unkempt 60 Year Old & Essentially Lazy

 


I workout 5 days per week for less than 30 minutes per session.

·        I do not run.

·        I do not Olympic lift.

·        I do not hit mindless endless reps of Hindu Squats, push-ups, or any other exercise that requires big numbers for small rewards—part of my laziness is I am quick to bore.

Enough Negatives, What I am is a huge fan of the mighty effective, time-saving, nit-picky devil-in-the-details conditioning tactics of the Old School Combination Man.

I have put these together in 6-Blocks of Stair-Stepped Conditioning called Unleaded Whole Hog Conditioning.

These 6 Blocks take you from Zero to my Age of 60 in 6 months.

Hell, if a lazy Old Man can do it, so can you.

Block 4 is now available.

Here are some details on Block 4 and how it fits into the Whole Hog Matrix.

BLOCK 4 ADDENDUMS

·        Block 1 NO LONGER EXISTS FOR YOU.

·        I repeat: Drop Block 1 Completely and groove on the Rotation of Blocks 2, 3, & 4 in perpetuity using the 3-1/2-1 Protocol Detailed in Block 4.

·        Block 4 is all about Complete Pushing Development in all functional angles.

·        That is, chest, triceps, lateral and anterior deltoids [in other words, “Cap those shoulders, Hombres & Hombrettes!” nothing will spell body-recomposition faster than shoulder-capping.]

·        Block 4 also offers an Optional Addendum for Forearm/Grip Development for 4 Reasons.

·        Reason 1: Declining grip strength is one of the clinical “tells” of the onset of physical senescence. It will happen to all of us but…it can be built and staved off. The grip-strength of hunter-gatherers remains that of a Westerner in their 20s even into the hunter-gatherers’ 7th decade, whereas in developed nations, well, we begin experiencing precipitous grip-strength atrophy in our 40s. Get in front of it!

·        Reason 2: Gotta climb? You need grip? Gotta move that couch? You need grip? Gotta, well, you fill in the blank.

·        Reason 3: You a combat athlete? Grapplers need grip—no grip no grappling. Boxers need grip. No muscle-bolstered forearm/wrist/hand/finger musculature—well, that fist is fragile—Hello boxer’s fracture!

·        Reason 4: Most of the time our clothes will hide the work you’ve been doing with The Unleaded Whole Hog Program, but, thanks to the miracle of short-sleeves, muscular forearms are always exposed to the eye—the signal to the observer, “Hey, this cat ain’t no house tabby; this might be a jungle cat I’m dealin’ with.”

Wanna Join Me & Other LazyBones in the 6-Month Whole Hog Way?

More info here.

In the future we will conclude this journey…

Block 5 will build on the work we’ve done here.

·        Block 5 will show you how to integrate Shock Training to the 3/1-2/1 sensibly TO BUILD Fast-Twitch Explosiveness and…

·        How to add the bolstering dynamics of “Strict 6” Isometrics & Agility using the Tarzan 12.

Block 6, the concluding Block in the Whole Hog Program will…

·        Provide a 23-Step Mobility/Flexibility Program.

·        And “The Tactical 9”: 9 Functional Exercises in a 9-Minute “Cardio” set for those who are not using Warrior Walking or engaged in Combat Training to aid and abet fat-loss.

I also heartily encourage all to use The Unleaded Whole Hog Diet Budget that we have been offering in dribs and drabs. It will be coming in book form in early 2026.

Wanna go the Old school Lazy Man’s Way? Let’s Go! Block 4.

Apache Running by Mark Hatmaker

Of the many Native American tribes of the southwest United States and Mexico the various bands of Apache carry a reputation for fierceness, resourcefulness, and an almost superhuman stamina. The name “Apache” is perhaps a misnomer as it refers to several different tribes that are loosely and collectively referred to as Apache, which is actually a variant of a Zuni word Apachu that this pueblo tribe applied to the collective bands. Apachu in Zuni translates roughly to “enemy” which is a telling detail that shines a light on the warrior nature of these collective tribes.             Among the various Apache tribes you will find the Kiowa, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Chiricahua (or “Cherry-Cows” as early Texas settlers called them), and the Lipan. These bands sustained themselves by conducting raids on the various settled pueblo tribes, Mexican villages, and the encroaching American settlers. These American settlers were often immig...

A Conversation with Neil Melanson by Mark Hatmaker

Here is a chat I had with a good man with a good mind, Neil Melanson. If you are unfamiliar with Neil’s exemplary work he has coached at Xtreme Couture, Alliance MMA, and a HC with the Blackzilians. He is now at gym Genesis Training Academy and Coach of the Filthy Few MMA team. -DVDs out are: Head Hunter, Catchwrestling, and Ground Marshal guard basics  -book Mastering Triangle Chokes -black belt under Karo Parisyan in the Hayastan Grappling System  First things first, Brother Neil, thanks for taking the time to have this chat. Allow me to get another thing out of the way, your book Mastering Triangle Chokes , top-notch. This is high-speed, low-drag stuff all the way. Often there is chaff to be culled through, but you have a linear approach that appeals to the pragmatic streak in me. Excellent work. Thanks a lot man.  You are a real articulate and detailed coach so that means a lot coming from you. Your approach to grappling appeals to my expansiv...

Walk Like a Warrior by Mark Hatmaker

In reading contemporary historical accounts written by soldiers (cavalry and dragoon), settlers, scouts, pioneers, and other citizens of the American frontier 1680s-1880s, I find mention that Native Americans (“Indians” or “Savages” in the accounts) did not walk like “white men.” Their gait, stride, and foot placement is described often in poetic terms as “light” or “light-footed,” “fleet”, “gliding”, and often times “springy” or “spring-like.” These terms while descriptive of the effect do little to tell us the how or why of the gait. We can find clues in accounts given by trackers in any of the myriad “Indian Wars” or skirmishes that riddled the continent in the first few centuries of the settling of the nation. The obvious telltale barefoot or soft impression of a moccasin is often a giveaway that you have a Native American track but this is less so in the moccasined foot as more and more Anglo backwoodsmen adopted this footwear. But there are a few accounts that mention ...
