The principles are: The 2026 routine in a nutshell: Explanation: Upper Body The upper body exercises of choice are pull-ups and dips, but they can also […]
Scams/delusions are based on a special form of makeup known as correlation, or the idea that when two elements are present together, they are driven by each other. In the world of lifting, we see correlations everywhere. If you watch videos of guys doing “calisthenics” (a weird term for low-level gymnastics), they’re all fairly lean. […]
Disclaimer: That’s what I do. Obviously, you are responsible for yourself. Part 1: Basic Theory When people let themselves go, a.k.a. eat the way the modern world wants them to, they get skinny-fat.

“One of the main problems of this world is that most people are living a never-ending hallucination in which their big hit is waiting for them.” a quote from A Hater’s Synthesis. I wrote that line in 2016. I don’t think it’s fancy. And I can certainly do better, but its inherent meaning gets stronger […]
Many commonly accepted “facts” are true, but only when you reverse them. 😉 Examples: Cereal is good for you. Hard work always pays off. You can get big naturally. You create your own reality. …and many other hallucinations that you see in anti-social media posts. But today, I am going to talk about a big […]
Today, I will tell you why the red pill doesn’t work in the most blunt fashion that I can. Reason 1: It purposefully confuses symptoms for leverage.

Many people read my posts and directly or silently pose a common “reactive” question: “Cool story, bro. But what is the solution?” My short answer: there isn’t a solution, at least not a mathematical one. Let’s start with the dating drama presented 1000s of times on this site. In short, unless you can figure out […]

Imagine the following situation. One man tries really hard to achieve something (e.g., find a job). He sends 100s of CVs, […]
Rippetoe is a super-smart businessman. How do I know? I witnessed his rise to glory from 0 to 100. But what’s more impressive is that he’s maintained his status for years. I will dissect both his genesis and late game, as it’s honestly as clever as it gets—especially for a man who wasn’t born with […]
