Interview with FitJerk of FitJerk's Fitness Blog!
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 at 9:00AM
I met FitJerk of FitJerk's Fitness Blog on the ProBlogger forum, where he quickly made a name for himself with what I now know to be his trademark frankness (seriously, dude pulls no punches). When he offered up the chance to interview him, I jumped at the idea, because I figured his "no bullshit" style would be pretty interesting to hear in answers to relationship-oriented questions. Here's our interview:
Yes I am... and what do you mean "what's that all about?" I'm fit as hell and I like to jerk off... I thought that was self-explanatory TNR!
Hah, naw... I kid. The name was actually given to me by a dear customer. I've never really accepted the guilt of those who choose to be mediocre, or ones who put up excuses so I always verbally spank them. Here's the quick story behind the name: so this lady bought my book, asked a few questions, to which I answered (I pride myself in responding within 24 hrs or less)... and then something really bullshit happened. She started to make excuses!
That doesn't fly with me. You paid money, asked for my help and now you're bitching? So I laid it to her straight, not in a "mean" sense but it was more of a "reality cheque" that she needed. So she got back to me and was like "you know, you're a real jerk mister, but you're also fit so I'll do what you told me to do. Thanks for the wake up call."
And so, my genius just put the 2 and 2 together and viola! I like the name, it wards off panzies. It's like this filter where it only lets the really willing people through. It also upsets the socially thin-skinned losers. But I don't give a fuck, because I LOVE my customers right now since they know I won't deal with their bullshit, and therefore they bring they A game.
See, it's really not hard... I have a system that works, you just have to shut the fuck up and do as you're told and BANG, you'll see results. Now, are you allowed to ask questions along the way? Of course you are. I have a secret email address only for book holders and you get this private access to me for like 6 months after the purchase... a friend who personal trains thinks I'm nuts. But it's just value for money. That's just how FJ rolls...
Oh? well then your readers should definitely take a look. You know how much I hate bullshit general information so i really made sure you could get some serious bang-improving techniques out of the article. The article itself is a collaboration between this lovely lady Mary and myself... because you know, sex is also a collaboration between two people so it's fitting. I didn't bang her though. The, er... sex article relationship was strictly professional.
Now, I've got some quick words to the dudes out there who are wondering if superior fitness is really necessary for sex. You don't NEED to have a six pack or be at 6% body fat but let me just say this... IT SURE DON'T HURT! Abs are the most desired muscle group in the world. This is statistically speaking from the millions of votes women mad. It was some global questionnaire for women. Truth be told, the answer doesn't surprise me one bit.
Meow-za to the abs. Yes, please! Moving on...what do you think is the biggest mistake people make when it comes to dating and relationships?
It's just really funny when you start to hear "Oh I did this... now you should be doing this!". It's like wow, so you didn't just do that from the goodness of your heart, you did it so you could EXPECT something in return? Pathetic. Learn to give in abundance you fucking leechers, start giving and stop expecting to receive... because when you do this, something weird happens. The other person WANTS to give. It's really odd. That's about all I can say as far as both parties are concerned.
As for men, their biggest mistake is that they need to start being such fucking pussies. I mean really. Be a god damn man, have some beliefs in this world, stand up for something you deem important and get an interesting life. Who wouldn't want to be around a person that driven?
A woman with that kind of outlook in life would get me going. Maybe I'm just attracted to powerful women. I like the challenge... there's too much mundane shit in life these days so whatever (or whoever) keeps me on my toes is a big plus in my books (again, this doesn't mean drama). So there you go ladies. Want to attract FJ? Spank me!
(but be warned, I'll spank back... harder)
Um, good to know. Ok, cool or not cool...hitting on people at the gym (no pun intended).
It's all about your social IQ. If you don't have any, it's best to just stick to your workouts or you'll end up being known as the annoying asshole. It's probably not the most attractive title to have dudes... but TNR will date you. Just tell her you want a mother. (you can't have an FJ interview without inside jokes... sorry folks)
I'll inside joke you right in the face. Kidding! So, what's the best pickup line you've ever heard (or delivered)?
But besides you, I'm guessing it's mainly the guys who tend to use this shit. I duno, I think the funniest one I've ever heard was "baby, If I was a fly, Id be all over you cuz you're the shit!". And I found this out from the girl herself. Here's how it went down... the girl was by herself and this dude approaches her, says something and she completely shuns him out. BAM! It was like a door close to the face.
I was like oohhh shit, that's so cold. So I immediately rushed over to her, laughing my face off and I was like "wow, you HAVE to tell me what that douchebag in the blue shirt said because you sent him packing all the way back to momma's basement."
As for my delivery. The best one ever was without the use of words. I kind of looked in her direction and liked what I saw, and then you know how people have this 6th sense and just KNOW when someone's looking at them? So she noticed and started looking at me. Then our eyes locked, and it was so beautiful, as if a unicorn just dove into a pond full of honey and shooting rainbows with flowers....
Err no wait. That's not what happened. She looked my way and after like 2 seconds I was like "Fuck yes, it's SO on" Now when I make eye contact with a chick I don't look away. So I just kept looking and got a smirk on my face since I guess she doesn't look away either and knew what the fuck was going on. After what felt like forever I was like "enough of this shit" So I stuck my tongue out at her (old school grade 8 styles), did like a 180 degree turn around and resumed talking to my friends.
I guess she felt ignored. Needless to say she started talking to me after. Good times. I know you like that one TNR.
...
...
*sticks out tongue*
Nope, and I choose not to be. I'm just so busy and involved with creating a sustainable business that I wouldn't have time to devote to anyone else. I need to be all about me right now. To some this might sound selfish... but if you really think about it, it's un-selfish. As for the relationship style, I love an independent relationships with laid back chicks who speak their mind so I don't have to deal with drama and bullshit. Also, girls who have their own life is a big plus.
Yes! It's definitely important to have a life outside of your relationship, even if it's just a monthly girl's or guy's night. Well, any last words of advice you'd give for the love-lorn and weary?
Yeah.. when girls start to give me (or any man) "clues" hoping that I'll get it, then they risk communication issues. Because now I'll take the clues I'm getting and make a decision, and if it's not the one you wanted... well too fucking bad. We men can't always be right. That's what happens when you leave shit to chance. I think guys will nod to this sentence while women will be like "nuh uh, he's just too stupid to get it!".
Trust me. We ARE too stupid to get it, which is precisely why a little "direct" communication goes a long way. If you're mad, say you're mad and why... it's not so hard. No more clues, this isn't "guess who".
... God damn, I think that was a terrible metaphor. But I haven't played boardgames in a while, so whatever.
Thanks, FitJerk! Head on over to FitJerk's Fitness Blog to check out his articles and advice. Ok, maybe it's not advice. Maybe it's really more like "mandatory suggestions"...either way, you'll be motivated to work out a little harder today!

Nice job with the interview TNR...and very brave taking on FitJerk. Like you, I met the SOB at the ProBlogger forum. He is like a solid kick in the kiester...and we all need that once in awhile. Thanks again.
Thanks, Rick. I FELT brave. :)
Damn. I want to have sex with both of you now. Ha!
Great interview.....I'm very very curious if FJ really does look like that....
Oh and fitness really CAN improve your sex life! I went to FJ's blog and he advised that you do this whole grappling thing and roll around on the floor (at least that's what I took away from it) and I tried it..and...um, it worked. Let's just leave it at that.
Nice job guys.
I am a FJ fan. Thx for some great questions & got a shit load of answer from him! Would we expect any less!
