12 Week Transformation
Week 9
Welcome to Week 9
Before beginning each new week of training, take stock of how the previous week went. Go through your Training Tracker and review any notes or portions that you were unable to complete last week. Make up anything you missed as soon as possible.
Let's get started.
BODY
- Bodyweight or strength workouts (Monday/Wednesday/Friday)
- Run (POSE practice + at least one run workout per week)
- Swim (Total Immersion practice + at least one swim workout per week)
- Paleo Diet
STYLE
- Read the Dress Pants and Chinos section of the Style Basics module.
- Purchase one or more pairs of slacks, chinos, or both. What you decide to go with here will depend on your lifestyle and work. If you work in an office environment, maybe wool slacks are a better choice; if your normal style is more casual, maybe chinos are a better choice.
- Weekly grooming: clip nails, trim body hair, and any other upkeep necessary.
ATTITUDE
- Read War Gaming in the Situational Awareness module.
- Monitor the baseline wherever you go; play KIMs games as often as you can (even if you just test yourself); begin war-gaming - always ask yourself what could happen and run through possible reactions to scenarios
- Continue pushing your limits in social settings. Whatever is difficult for you, work more on that. If you can talk to guys, but clam up around beautiful women, then focus your efforts towards women who would make you nervous. If you can talk to "regular" people but clam up around "powerful" people, then try to open more conversations around them. If you can talk to your coworkers but your boss makes you nervous, then find ways to engage with them in ways that will help you overcome that fear.
SKILLS
- MMA training two days per week
- Combatives training one day per week
- Language Training 30-60 minutes per day
- Poker night: with friends, at a casino, or 30-60 minutes of dedicated practice daily
- Catch up week. If there is anything you are behind on, use this week to catch up or complete any training you’re behind on. Shooting courses, first aid, poker, fighting, language training, etc; whatever you've fallen behind on or haven't done yet, use this week to get caught up.
LIFESTYLE
- Read the Money module.
- Carry cash; at least $100, and more if you can afford it.
- If your finances are not in order, work towards getting them that way ASAP. Pay particular attention to automating your finances - don't let your whims get in the way of your goals; create processes that work for you, even when you're not focused on them.
- Visit at least one new cultural attraction this week
- Visit at least one new restaurant per week
