Excuse the hiatus gents, been enjoying the euro sun a little too much.

@LeanStrongLife1 Definitely recommend them if your gym has a seal row bench

@praxr0 Alright mate, hope you're doing well. The last 6 months it's just been DB rows and cable rows. I will be doing Yates rows and chin ups on day 1, cable rows and pull downs on day 2. Haven't tried seal rows, you recommend?

@Chickenhearts69 Hormonally firing. Spiritmaxxing. Hypertrophy bro’s hate him.

I train suboptimal, I eat suboptimal, I change environments constantly. I look more massiv. What is it?

@VanceE Shoutout Manly beach.

I took Doxy for a staph infection in Australia. (In my nail bed and DHL lost my MB shipment). Regardless I thought Australias food was just cleaner and training 3-4x a day is why I got insanely shredded. Didn’t realize until after the Doxy wore off that I didn’t feel as good digesting food again and bloating came back some. Started a 4 week cycle of berberine, black seed oil, bismuth, and oregano oil. Amazing comeback. Now starting to make L Rueteri yogurt at home and get some Longum going. The gut is complex, I’ve had gut issues since I was 17, most of them are gone, not expecting anything wild or quick but I’ll keep updates.

@LeanStrongLife1 Building it brick by brick

The next 8 bench sessions are all 100KG+ If all goes well THIS strength cycle, the next time I use 95KG will be day 1 of my NEXT cycle on Tuesday 31st March. Always plan ahead.

@345marcel Bodyweight pullups + dips is the ubermensch combo.

I always end a workout with superset. Get a bit more volume in and save time. Done the bulk of heavy lifting. Pace the gym, sweat a bit more, finish off with a strong pump. Turn the boring smaller exercises more fun. Heavily underrated in our optimizer era of fitness.

@Chickenhearts69 He’s back

Did you miss animool pic for aesthetic timeline

I think there is a certain level of muscularity that you probably shouldn’t cross. Because once you go beyond that point, you can only really represent a very simple archetype, and your world becomes narrower. You start to lose certain abilities as well your freedom of movement, your flexibility, and in a broader sense even parts of your life. Your body begins to impose limits. There are things you can’t quite do the same way anymore, places where you don’t fit as easily, movements that become restricted. And in a strange way, life starts organizing itself around maintaining that archetype, because once you represent it, you can’t fully step outside of it anymore. Ideally, the body should support a kind of adaptability the freedom to move through different environments, different activities, even different social circles without immediately being placed into a single narrow category. Something closer to a generalist spirit, almost a kind of Renaissance mindset, where you can try any sport, explore different interests, and move between different groups while your body simply suggests capability and fitness, rather than locking you into something like the bodybuilder archetype. Strength can be part of that, of course. But if one physical trait becomes too dominant, it starts defining the whole picture. And when that happens, the range of possibilities quietly shrinks, even if at first it feels like you’re becoming more impressive rather than more limited

@SolBrah Viscount Greystoke

Sometimes the only way up is down and I think that’s beautiful. End the wrong relationship to find the right one. Quit the impressive job to start the important one. Unlearn to relearn. Cut to bulk. One step back, three steps forward. Progression is always cyclical, not linear. The ones who win are the ones who are willing to go backwards while everyone is forcing forwards

@mihai_vie Real

@cafffeineknight The chad choice

@Chickenhearts69 Rumour has it coconutgreek is reigning in the new year with moonlit Dionysian jungle party.

Year of the Fire Horse. Something powerful is unfolding. Lean into it. Live pure vitalism. Move like the stars arranged it. The cosmos is handing you fire don’t waste it.

@Chickenhearts69 Enjoy it brother, a special place. It definitely has that magic you’ve described.

Bap always used to say that there were two places in the world that felt full of magic to him though he said that might have shifted a bit after Corona. Those places were Bali and, correct me if I’m wrong, Santa Cruz in Costa Rica. I’ve just arrived on Koh Tao, and it might be one of those rare places as well. I’ve only been here for three hours, but the island is stunning, and I’ve honestly never seen so many impregnating worth waman in one place. There’s a real sense of ease here laid-back, effortless, not driven by high-end consumerism like Mykonos. And it doesn’t feel staged or overly performative like Ibiza could feel. Instead, it somehow blends a backpacker spirit with a certain understated elegance. The energy feels different maybe lighter. But I’ll keep you poasted.

@nolimit_luke_ Natures multivitamin.

Eggs shouldn’t be relied on as a primary protein source You need 5-6 eggs to reach a meaningful protein dose, and at that point the calorie:protein ratio becomes inefficient I eat eggs every day for their: • High-quality dietary fat and cholesterol • Choline and B vitamins • Fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K • Carotenoids and phospholipids • Selenium and trace minerals Eggs are very beneficial to add to your diet for micronutrients and healthy fats, just not solely for protein purposes

@joe__touring Godspeed brother

Narrowly avoided a total disaster fellas… got super lucky My roof rack collapsed offroading in a super remote part of Peru All 4 support mounts failed 350lb and $8k worth of gear was hanging on by a thread and nearly slid off the truck lmaoo Regrouping in Chiclayo rn

@exemplarstories That certainly works too

Ways to short-circuit yourself into the present moment: - ocean dip. - 20 rep squats. - triple espresso. - running the red. - scuba or skydive. - weighted chin-ups. - attempting a bench pr. - staring into the campfire. - getting wine drunk with gf. - beers abroad with your boys. - having your heart broken. Go feel something.

@anthonyf253 Many such cases

@praxr0 Used to be so scared of the deficit. Everything you said is fact. Getting lean has drastically improved my life

Nothing quite like the calorie deficit. You really begin to glide through life. Every % decrease toward ~10% body fat is a system-wide upgrade. Watch your senses dial in. Food is tasting better, coffee is hitting different. Even the air is crisper now. Peeling away the layers week by week, until you arrive at what is truly "you". Your true face + true physique. Both no longer covered in excess. Your jawline sharpens and insulin sensitivity improves. Carbed up and in the gym, you now look as if carved from granite. You must unfatten yourself in 2026.
