12 Week Transformation
Week 5
Welcome to Week 5
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 Workout (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.
- If you are close to maxing out the bodyweight workout, check out the advanced bodyweight and/or barbell training modules and prepare to begin one of those programs. DO NOT deviate from the bodyweight workout until you complete all five rounds of 10 pullups, 20 pushups, 30 squats.
STYLE
- Haircut.
- you need a cut or trim every two to four weeks; start scheduling these in advance.
- Read the Nails section of the Grooming module.
- Nasty, grimy, unkempt finger and toe nails have no place on a gentleman, yet a great many men treat their hands and feet horribly. At the very least, keep your finger and toe nails properly trimmed.
- If you’ve never had a manicure, now would be a good time to get one. It isn't strictly necessary, but can be a good idea to see what properly trimmed and taken care of nails, hands, and feet look like.
ATTITUDE
- Read KIMs Game in the Situational Awareness module.
- Find a friend to start practicing KIM’s game.
- Even without a friend, you can practice on your own by testing yourself. How many people are around you? Where are they all sitting? Who came and went? Where is the nearest exit? What is the waitress' name? What make and model are the cars on your block? License plate numbers? Start paying attention and try to remember more of what's around you.
- Read the Rapport Building section of the Social Engineering module.
- Continue to talk to three new people every day, integrating everything you’ve learned thus far. Maintaining proper body language should be almost second nature by now, and you can focus on building more rapport and connecting more deeply with those you engage with.
SKILLS
- MMA training two days per week.
- Combatives training one day per week.
- Language Training 30-60 minutes per day.
- Your weapons training begins this week. Whether you've shied away from guns or you've been around them your entire life, unless you have recent, relevant experience (e.g. military, law enforcement, or private training from a respected school), you owe it to yourself to obtain proper training. The best place to start is the NRA Basic Pistol Shooting course. This is now divided into two phases: Phase 1 is online, Phase 2 hands-on at a range. Sign up for Phase 1, then sign up for the next available Phase 2 course here.
LIFESTYLE
- Read The Uniform module.
- Put together three different “daily uniforms.” Many people don't care at all about what they wear, and don't look well put together because of it. On the other side of that are the men who are always stylish, but are wasting valuable mental bandwidth and decision-making ability to be that way. If you spend a little bit of time up front, you can easily put together a "uniform" that guarantees you are always dressed well without having to obsess or worry about what to wear on any given day.
- Visit at least one new cultural attraction this week.
- Visit at least one new restaurant per week.
