Arthur De Vany is 71 years old, 6′1″ and 200 pounds. He’s never sick and can do anything he wants to. He doesn’t live off 30 different medications the way most American’s do.
One of my biggest fears is growing old and being unable to walk the way my grandmother is. It was the goal of weight loss that got me started with fitness, but it is watching my grandmother struggle with her own body on a daily basis that is keeping me in the game of fitness.
Arthur De Vany is not only an inspiration, but an example of what a practical approach to fitness and nutrition can produce.
He was born in Davenport, Iowa – however, his hometown is Los Angeles, California where he finished high school and was signed on to a minor league baseball team. He started weight lifting at age 16, and has been at it ever since. De Vany studied economics at the University of Continue reading
The best way to make a workout even quicker is to time it, then set a goal to improve upon it. For example, if a workout takes you 8:23.19, then you can set a goal to complete the workout in under 7 minutes.
I have found that I had to work incredibly hard, just for a three or four second improvement. Keep working on this workout one a week until you reach your goal.
Here is a sample workout I have done in the past:
5 rounds of: 10 16kg Kettlebell Snatch, each Side 10 Double UndersMy best time was 8:43.49. See if you can beat it.

This is the third and final installment of the “Shah Training is Not Bodybuilding” series. The first post talked about focusing on a long-term approach to fitness. In the second post we took that idea further and I asked you to take another look at your current goals. Are they really something that will bring you satisfaction in the long term?
This final post I want to dabble in the definition of fitness. The princeton.edu definition for fitness is – the quality of being suitable.
Suitable for what? For life? For bodybuilding? For powerlifting? For a particular job? For what?Princeton.edu provides a sample sentence: “They had to prove their fitness for the position.”
Interesting. I actually like this definition of fitness. I once made a short video where I stated something like, “Fitness has nothing to do with losing weight or gaining muscle. It has to do with being healthy.”
A Practical Example
A bodybuilder friend of mine responded by saying, “You’re contradicting yourself.” Lets do a little experiment in word replacement:
What I’m saying is, “Being fit means that you are healthy.”
Apparently, according to my bodybuilder friend means the same as:
“Being able to run 24 miles in a few hours means you are healthy.”
Here are my thoughts:
A six pack does not necessarily mean that you are healthy, because you could have gone through some extreme form of dieting that could be potentially harmful to your body. In this case you look healthy, but may not be much healthy once you get your blood work done.
Same goes for the guy with big biceps. How many guys are walking around with huge arms and inflated chest, along with a belly hanging down to the ground? They’re just strong, but don’t look very fit. They wouldn’t be able to run very fast, nor would they be able to lift their own bodyweight for high reps.
Finally, lets take the last example. Most distance runners are extremely skinny. They lack fundamental levels of strength and some even look sick- borderline anorexic. I would not call them healthy.
So then, what exactly is the definition of fitness? I would love to hear your thoughts.
I just saw the move “300” last week. I know, I know. Why so late? First of all, I’m not a big watcher of Hollywood films. I only watch them if I find something extremely interesting or if I’m out with a good group of friends I haven’t seen in a while. I expected the whole “300 Workout” craze and what not. Everyone from Mens Health to Youtubers developed their own versions of the 300 workout and branded it as THE method to producing a ripped physique.
Let me just say first of all that I personally was not very impressed with the 300 physique. They all just looked like fitness models to me. They were not really that big, just extremely ripped. And if you think about it, you had 57 stuntmen as part of the cast. Stuntmen are generally supposed to be in good shape already. In addition, Mr. Gerard Butler was already a pretty big guy. So why were people making such a big fuss about some insane transformation? Marketing.
One look at the GymJones website and you’ve got your answer to the secret “300” training method: “The typical interviewer wants to know about the “magic” workout the cast did to make them look so good. Some were disappointed to learn that hard work is magic, while others marveled – as did we some days – that the actors would work so hard.”
Hence, there was no “magic” workout. The GymJones training system is simply a darker version of the CrossFit methodology. Mark Twight is actually a crossfit certified trainer. He was an affiliate for a while until he began twisting the methodology into what he saw fit.
The basicprinciple of both Crossfit and GymJones can be summarized by the following quote: “I have read that it was all CGI, make-up, steroids, etc. However, no one has come right out and said, “those guys worked really hard and had the self-discipline to control what they put into their mouths.””
Crossfit and “300” Principles:
The following are the basic principles behind the crossfit methodology:
Perform movements that train the whole-body.
Train to improve your technique first, then progress with weights.
Build Cardiovascular fitness using High-Intensity Interval Training
Vary your exercises and methods at each workout. Experiment constantly and keep things random.
Train intensely and strive to complete each workout as quickly as possible. Crossfit workouts generally don’t last more than 30 minutes.
