Why Make Workout Videos?

It is fun to showcase your progress, gains, and watching these videos (myself) is hugely interesting and self-entertaining!

Everyone starts somewhere

ERIC KIM PARK LIFE WORKOUTS

It doesn’t matter how buff you are or how non-buff you are. Just share your progress. This is what makes the whole game fun.

Video is fascinating

Watching my workout videos of myself (after the fact, 4K 60 FPS footage on Lumix G9) is hugely interesting. I like to watch the footage, then shoot screenshots afterwards of moments I find interesting. Hilariously enough, watching my old photos and workout videos actually motivates me to workout myself. It is almost as if I am watching SOMEONE ELSE workout.

And ultimately, there is nothing more fascinating than the human 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!
