YOUR BODY IS YOUR BANK ACCOUNT

The future rich and elite: muscular, lean (low bodyfat), and physically strong.

Poverty is fat

Only the rich and elite have the privilege to eat “healthy” and workout. In America, more poor people suffer from obesity and over-fat diseases than the rich, elite, and privileged.

For example for me, I’m rich enough to have the luxury of time to workout 3x a day.

Also —

To be able to walk around with your shirt off (muscles, good tan, etc) is a signal of your wealth.

Transform your body into a Lamborghini

Question:

Would you rather be a very very fat billionaire, or a poor Demi-god body type of guy?

I’d choose to look like the (poor but free) Spartan.

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!
