Regular readers are probably familiar with the concept of training cycles as I’ve written about it in articles and books. But for those who don’t know, I’ll summarize. A training cycle works like this: You start light and gradually build to a heavy weight over time. When things get tough, you drop the weight. You […]
By popular demand, I decided to engineer a super simple leg workout that can be done at home. Many natties reading this site have decided that they want to focus primarily on upper body muscles as suggested in many articles on here and maximization. Why? Because those are the “visual impact” muscles of a man. […]
I wish I knew this before… One of my biggest rookie mistakes in the painful labyrinth known as dating is believing the idea that one must actively try to change the circumstances… It took me a while to realize that this is nonsense for the most part, and I adjusted my strategy to something a […]
1. You don’t learn the truth. You find the truth within yourself. Or should I say you grow up to the truth that has always been in your DNA… 2. After a while, you don’t need natty or not reviews. You instantaneously know whether someone is injecting or not. 3. Nobody joins a gym for […]
The Principle of Diminishing Returns (PDR) is fundamental and observed in many aspects of life. The basic version is as follows: Every action starts to bring fewer gains with each consecutive repetition. If you have never read a certain book, and read it while skipping some pages, you still know more about it than someone […]
Fitness influencers (and male motivators in general) love the idea of consistency. “Just be consistent, bro.” it will come to you one day. One cannot deny the need to be disciplined and persistent. You can’t build even a dog house without some “consistency”. But very often, the idea of consistency is used as a camouflage […]
The movie industry is focused on building fake worlds. Every single advancement in technology is gradually deployed to enhance the fakery. The goal has always been to attract the attention of the visitor by showing something that is either extremely rare or doesn’t even exist in the real, common world. Then, that attention is monetized […]
I will never forget that day. I was waiting for a van loaded with IKEA-style furniture (particle boards) to arrive. (We were renovating.) After 10 minutes, the delivery guys dropped the packages in front of the building entrance and left. At the time, I was a skinny 17-year-old skater boy with strength levels limited to […]

The modern male self-improvement leaders have been pushing their recruits to wage war on sleep for a long time. A while ago Arnold told us that we need to “sleep faster” if we want success. Unsurprisingly, other manosphere influencers exercising the role of global leaders such as the Tate brothers agree. In a video, Tristan […]
Ph. D/muscle-building professor/exercise scientist Mike Israetel has become one of the most popular muscle-building shamans on the Internet. He routinely presents “scientific” training regimes with a heavy focus on slowed and controlled execution. As usual, the important question is – do the tactics work for 100% true naturals? First, let’s make a summary of the […]
I’ve been depressed ever since I turned 19. I don’t exactly hide it, but I never talk about it either for 3 main reasons: I am a man so no one cares, and I just appear weak in other people’s eyes. Life is life regardless of my feelings. Even if people wanted to help what […]
