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 […]
This program is simple and also a bit weird, but totally logical once you get it. The goal? Good gains. Max looks. Low effort. Low stress on joints and CNS. Low tech requirement. Here are the rules and logic: The exercises: Training Days: 5 Day 1: Chest + Biceps Incline Press = 3×10-12 (the weight […]
1/ The worst things in your life happen when you don’t expect them. If I learned anything in this life, it’s that the most brutal situations/moments in your life come when you expect them least. This is a rule as strong as gravity. I am mega serious. And this is one “hack” that you can […]
Son, I am about to shatter your entrepreneurial wet dreams. The system doesn’t care about making you rich. It only cares about feeding off of you and spanking you when you misbehave. But it can’t say that to your face. So, instead, it sells you a dream so that you cook yourself like the perfect […]
Do you know what’s missing from most men’s CVs? > Professional fapper since 12 y.o. Don’t worry. Your mom knows, she is just pretending she doesn’t. The brutal reality is that fapping is the invisible “magic ingredient” that keeps this world from collapsing. And I am not joking or trying to construct some metaphor. It’s […]
My take on philosophy as a whole can be summarized in one sentence: <<<<Everyone is a philosopher until life hits them for real. >>>> Stoicism, archaic yet new, is no exception. It’s one of those constantly shape-shifting ideologies that reminds me of Jordan Peterson’s way of talking—many words, little substance, constant mental stretching followed by […]
Have you ever heard the saying – “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”? It indirectly implies the existence of two Homo sapiens types – doers and no-doers. A person with a busy schedule is a doer and more likely to get something extra done than a no-doer who has all […]
People rarely get depressed because of a bad situation. True depression comes because you can’t see a clear path out. Despite what motivational speakers (and their modern equivalents) are saying, it’s not so easy to dig yourself out of a hole even if you are willing to do the work. When you want to escape […]
A while back I decided to do dedicated forearm training including some arm wrestling exercises and grip routines. I made the needed equipment out of wood and spare parts. It worked well. One time while doing my routine, I couldn’t help it and admitted the obvious: I felt stupid. I had to ask myself the […]
Many professors in the manosphere (and in other self-improvement segments) are super focused on maximizing TSW (time spent working). Hence they allegedly wake up at 5 in the morning, wrestle an alligator, eat 600 grams of protein, do some meditation, and then “seize the day”. As always – it’s all nonsense…and I am here to […]
Time flies. It’s been almost 10 years since I wrote one of the most iconic posts on the site – Zyzz – Inspiration Or Victim Of Our Environment? And today, a decade later, we have a new form of Zyzz – hardly a surprise to me as I am old enough to have internalized that this […]
Therapy is practically useless and impotent in most cases. It can’t solve your problems but can ironically augment them and slow down healing. It could also be an immoral business. Talking About Your Problems Is Helpful But Only To a Point The main value of therapy is that you export some of your thoughts and […]
