Testosterone is a steroid

Natural testosterone.

Testosterone as the natural healing agent?

Theory; if you’re injured or have an injury, the best way to naturally heal it is consume lots of beef organ meats, foods high in cholesterol, and also naturally boost your testosterone by heavy hypelifting one rep maximum at the gym?

Fragile bodily positions

Fragile positions include lying on your back, sitting down?

Fragile in so far much as insecure; when you’re lying on your back, you’re in an inferior, dangerous position. For example in the UFC, or mixed martial arts, to be thrown down and on your back, just like a roach or something on its back; a rhino on its back is not a good position to be in. We cannot imagine a gorilla, a dragon, or anything lying on its back; it is a position of submission? Like someone lying down legs spread in a missionary position?

Bodily Wisdom

Is it really wisdom that we are seeking? Wisdom as a means to a greater end, not the end in itself.

And wisdom maybe seems like wise actions which are beneficial to your desired ends or outcomes or process.

For example, some wisdom I learned at the gym; don’t do any really really heavy pressing motions, too much force on your wrists.

Why build your body?

Your own body as a work of art!

In Praise of Building Your Body

My Muscle Philosophy:

Treat your body as sculpture.

This is not my body

The first thing:

I don’t see my body as belonging to me. I look at my body like it belongs to someone else.

When I look at the Lamborghini of someone else, I admire it. When I see the muscles and physiques of anyone else, I admire it. Then I had the epiphany:

Why not transform my own body into a Lambo, and admire my own body instead?

The logic

The great logic:

  1. It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
  2. The human body is the apex beauty. This means your personal goal in life should be to beautify your own personal body to the maximum (without plastic surgery, steroids, etc).
  3. Ultimate democratic approach: Genetics doesn’t matter. Sex doesn’t matter. Racial ethnicity doesn’t matter. Anyone can both add muscle mass and subtract fat.
  4. It doesn’t cost much to get ripped. Just intermittent fast [no breakfast, no lunch], one big ass meal a day, and mostly a ‘ketogenic’ diet.
  5. Your body is always with you. Why not beautify your body to inspire yourself?

The joy of sculpting your own body

To sculpt your own body is insanely fun. Why? You can see the change over time!

Once again, the goal is simple:

Never stop adding muscle mass, and never stop reducing body fat, or keeping it low (around 10%).

Muscle and your body is highly practical.

The more muscle you have, the more energy you got. The more power you got to make art-work, and live with gratitude, joy, and hyper-vigor.

Strengthen on, and flex on!

Ancient exercises?

Assuming that in the ancient world, it was just some sort of open air gymnasium, in a big plot of dirt, in the direct sun, what type of training exercises would they do, what wouldn’t they?

The first thought is I am highly dubious that an individual would lie on their back, and try to press something really really heavy, while on the floor. You wouldn’t want to get your back dirty.

It would have to do with lifting, throwing, carrying , stuff like that.

Exercise ideas

Get a dip belt, put on lots of plates, and do weighted chips with a neutral grip instead.

Or maybe do other types of lifts? Like a modified deadlift in which you put the weight in between your legs?
