The
Elimination
Experiment

I
ntroduction



This
manual
was
designed
to
be
the
answer
to
the
question
“How
does
Brad
Pilon
workout?”


It’s
an
odd
question,
and
one
that
I
never
really
thought
people
would
ever
ask.
But,
as
Eat

Stop
Eat

(www.EatStopEat.com)
started
to
grow
in
popularity,
more
and
more
people

became
curious
about
how
I
workout.


Special
Note:
I
use
the
words
“train”
and
“workout”
interchangeably,
so
if
you
see
the
word

“train”
in
the
following
pages
it
really
just
means
“workout”



So,
to
answer
this
question
as
honestly
as
I
can
‐
I
train
as
effectively
(and
as
little)
as
possible.

Now,
before
you
start
asking
me
questions
about
Mike
Mentzer
or
Dorian
Yates
let
me
be

upfront
with
you
–
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
High
Intensity
Training,
Heavy
Duty
Training,

Doggcrapp
Training
or
any
of
that
other
stuff.

It’s
simply
an
effort
to
train
as
wisely
as

possible.

Wisdom
is
the
combination
of
age
and
experience.
It
is
the
knowledge
needed
to
live
a
good

life.

And,
in
my
opinion
wisdom
is
what
separates
people
who
go
to
the
gym
to
get
results

from
those
who
go
to
the
gym
simply
for
the
sake
of
going
to
the
gym.

I
have
made
a
conscious
decision
not
to
live
my
life
chained
to
the
gym,
or
to
a
consistent

obsessive‐compulsive
urge
to
workout
simply
for
the
sake
of
working
out.

I
WILL
NOT
get
pulled
into
the
latest
‘how
I
should
train’
fad,
or
the
latest
exercise
that
I

‘absolutely
must
try’.


To
put
it
bluntly,
my
days
of
being
an
exercise
groupie
are
over.

Just
as
I
have
said
NO
to
Obsessive
Compulsive
Eating,
I
have
also
said
NO
to
Obsessive

Compulsive
Exercising.

To
be
honest,
it
took
me
a
long
time
to
come
to
this
decision.

If
you
are
anything
like
me,
then
your
‘fitness
life’
has
probably
undergone
the
following

evolution.

You
started
off
as
a
rookie
(just
like
me),
clueless
to
what
you
were
supposed
to
do
in
the
gym

and
believing
anything
that
anyone
told
you.

Then,
you
went
on‐line,
read
books,
asked

experts
and
became
an
intelligent
trainer.
You
were
the
equivalent
of
a
teenager…when
it

came
to
working
out…you
knew
‘Everything’.

After
years
of
being
an
intelligent
trainer
you
became
an
experienced
trainer…starting
to

understand
what
does
and
doesn’t
work
for
you.
You
started
to
see
through
the
B.S.
and

realized
that
nothing,
not
a
supplement
or
a
special
way
of
training
will
ever
replace

consistent
hard
work.

I
spent
almost
twenty
years
going
through
this
exact
evolution,
and
just
recently
I
accepted

the
fact
that
there
was
one
last
step
I
needed
to
take.
Becoming
experienced
and
intelligent
in

my
approach
to
working
out
wasn’t
enough,
I
needed
to
become
WISE.

This
last
step
was
very,
very
difficult
and
it
forced
me
to
move
way
outside
of
my
comfort

zone.

However,
being
forced
outside
of
your
comfort
zone
is
almost
always
a
good
thing.

In

my
opinion,
you
will
never
see
success
unless
you
move
outside
of
your
comfort
zone.

I’ve
moved
outside
of
my
comfort
zone
three
times
in
my
life,
and
each
time,
the
result
has

been
success.


The
first
time
was
when
I
was
in
my
third
year
at
university.
Back
then
my
goal
was
to
bench

press
300
pounds.
Both
my
workout
partner
and
I
were
mid‐200
pound
benchers
and
300

pounds
seemed
like
‘the
ultimate
bench
press
goal’.

By
the
end
of
my
3rd
year
I
was
benching
280
pounds.
It
wasn’t
300,
but
I
thought
it
was

pretty
darn
good.
After
all,
in
my
group
of
friends,
I
was
one
of
the
top
benchers.

That
summer
I
decided
to
stay
at
University
and
take
some
extra
courses.

I
can
remember
the
first
day
I
went
to
the
gym
during
the
summer
semester
‐
It
was
a

COMPLETELY
difference
crowd
of
people
who
were
working
out.

My
usual
crew
was
not
there,
instead
the
gym
was
almost
empty,
except
for
4
or
5
guys
who

were
A
LOT
bigger
and
A
LOT
stronger
than
me.

Adam,
Steve,
John
and
Big
Jeremy
were
all
50
or
60
pounds
heavier
than
me,
and
they
ALL

benched
pressed
in
the
high
300’s.

At
this
point
I
had
2
options:

1)
Stay
in
my
comfort
zone;
workout
by
myself
and
try
to
hit
300
pounds
on
the
bench.

2)
Move
out
of
my
comfort
zone;
start
training
with
the
big
boys,
and
accept
the
fact
that
300

pounds
was
no
longer
an
acceptable
goal.

I
picked
the
later.
It
was
uncomfortable.
Actually,
that’s
not
true.
It
was
darn
right
SCARY.

But
I’m
glad
I
did
it.

By
moving
outside
of
my
comfort
zone
300
pounds
was
no
longer
a
mental
block,
and
by
the

end
of
August
I
was
bench‐pressing
355
pounds
for
sets
of
2.

55
pounds
more
than
what
I
previously
thought
was
the
‘perfect’
Bench
Press.

This
was
the
first
time
I
reaped
the
rewards
of
moving
out
of
my
comfort
zone.
The
second

time
was
when
I
walked
away
from
my
career
in
the
supplement
industry.

I
had
a
great
job,
a

great
title,
a
massive
office,
financial
stability,
good
co‐workers,
a
great
staff,
even
the

commute
wasn’t
too
bad.
But
deep
down
I
knew
it
wasn’t
where
I
was
meant
to
be.

I
moved
out
of
my
comfort
zone
the
day
I
resigned.
And
while
this
isn’t
a
rags
to
riches
story,

now
I’m
doing
something
I
love.
And
this
wouldn’t
have
been
possible
if
I
didn’t
move
outside

of
my
comfort
zone.

The
third
time
I
moved
outside
of
my
comfort
zone
was
when
I
conducted
the
experiment
I
am

about
to
describe
to
you
in
this
manual.

Oddly,
it
was
this
experiment
that
was
the
most

difficult,
because
it
challenged
my
ENTIRE
belief
system
–
And
this
is
exactly
what
I
am
going

to
ask
you
to
do.

I
am
going
to
ask
you
to
make
a
12‐week
commitment
to
move
outside
of
your
comfort
zone

and
do
the
things
YOU
need
to
do
to
become
successful.

Here
is
THE
BEST
PIECE
OF
ADVICE
I
have
ever
been
given:

“If
you
want
to
be
successful
you
have
to
do
the
things
that
unsuccessful
people
aren’t

willing
to
do.”

Here
is
the
second
best
piece
of
advice
I
have
ever
been
given:

“There
are
things
in
your
life
that
you
do
out
of
habit
or
because
you
THINK
you
should
do

them.
If
you
aren’t
benefiting
in
any
way
from
these
things,
you
need
to
eliminate
them.”

It
was
this
advice
that
drove
me
to
conduct
the
experiment
that
has
shaped
the
way
I
workout

today.
