Growing up I used to sit out of gym class. I got into cigarettes by 12 years old, booze by 13, and joints by 14. I spent my adolescence partying. It was alot of fun, at the time.
My dad raised us by himself, and he was sick. By the time I was 18 I had dropped out of school, and he had passed away. I was now thrown into the real world to be a man.
And for the first time in my life I had to face mortality. And for the first time in my life I had to fend entirely for myself.
I started doing manual labor, surrounded by grown men. And for the first time in my life I felt physically weak. So I scrambled to catch up. I started lifting weights, and in a year I went from the 6’1 140 lb walking skeleton I had always been, to a lumbering 200 lb crooked klutz.
See I had no idea about technique, and being no natural athlete I had put on 60 lbs of barely functional muscle. So in some ways I was worse off than I started.
Nonetheless I now had a body, and it was time to decide what to do with it. Being no stranger to physical conflict, boxing seemed like a natural choice. But holy crap did I have alot of bad habits to unlearn.
A few years went by and I dropped alot of that weight, had a whole new body. But something was still missing. No matter how much I could endure in the ring I just couldn’t put all that training to effective use. My body was working against itself from each moment to the next.
I loved the sport though, so I searched high and low, tried all sorts of extra curriculars, supplements, meditations, alternative conditioning routines. Eventually, by chance, I decided to research “nervous system conditioning”. I figured I had built the body and the mind of a fighter, what was that missing piece that would get the two working smoothly together?
That’s when I found Z Health.
First thing that happened, was all the nagging injuries I had just accepted and worked through all along started to clear up. Pretty nice bonus for a boxer with no health insurance!
Second thing that happened was I started recovering faster from my workouts. I’ve never been a morning person so this was huge, suddenly I started springing out of bed first thing in the morning every day, ready to get back to it.
And finally, all the training I had gone through started to click into place. It was more like an avalanche actually, since all of it was there already just waiting for that missing piece to set it free.
The irony is that as I keep moving forward with Z Health, I get older. And where most people get more and more fragile with age, I just keep getting more and more resilient. Aside from healing old injuries, I haven’t really seen any new ones. Which is pretty remarkable considering how many people hit me in just one week.
So on my quest to build a stronger and healthier body with every day I live, Z Health has been an absolute staple, and the insights I’ve gained from that course, as well as the other discoveries I’ve made are either up on this site already, or coming soon. Please get as much from it as I have.
