ERIC KIM FITNESS

My personal approach and philosophy to fitness:

1. It must be fun

If it ain’t fun, it ain’t worth doing.

2. Eat a lot of meat

Eat a lot of meat. I strive to eat between 5-10 pounds of meat a day (Milo of Croton is my hero). There is a funny high tale:

Milo of Croton consumed 20 pounds of oxen everyday, 20 pounds of bread everyday, and 5 gallons of wine everyday.

Certainly exaggerated, but this notion of ‘progressive overload’ was interesting:

The gist of the story:

Every day, Milo of Croton carried a baby calf on his shoulders (as the calf kept getting bigger). One day when the calf became a huge ox, Milo consumed the whole ox in a single sitting.

Or a modern depiction:

The basic gist:

Slowly over time, keep lifting heavier shit, and keep eating meat, and as a consequence your muscles will grow!

The general idea.

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:

It is far cheaper to get buff than to buy a Lambo.
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).
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.
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.
Your body is always with you. Why not beautify your body to inspire yourself?
