In order to build a demigod body, some simple thoughts and strategies:
- First of all, intermittent fasting. This means no breakfast no lunch, only one massive dinner, one insanely massive and epic meal a day. And I also encourage a 100% carnivore diet, only exceptions include eating dark leafy greens, kale collard greens, or kimchi with no sugar added.
- For food, beef neckbones is really good, also lots of collagen, beef ribs, and also beef organ meats. Beef liver, beef hard, beef small intestines.
- At the gym, I recommend working out at least once a day. Ideally twice a day. This is the new modern luxury to be able to work out twice a day. Lately I’ve been working out twice a day, lifting weights at the gym, and also doing yoga with Cindy at CorePower. I really like the yoga sculpt class, which is essentially a hybrid class in between weightlifting and yoga. Or the C2 class, which is just a normal yoga class. The reason why I like both weightlifting and yoga is that I have discovered superficially the better I get at yoga, flexibility, poses etc., the stronger I become at the gym. Currently speaking, this is the strongest I’ve ever been in my life. My spine is also 1000 times stronger, I feel like my spine is made out of adamantine.
Why demigod bod?
There are certain things which are in our control, and certain things which are not in our control. One thing which is not in our control is how rich or famous we will become. However, one thing we do have the power of is how to craft and build our bodies.
The body is democratic. All human beings, assuming that you have a normal bodily physiology, is more or less the same. I don’t believe in “genetics“, this is essentially the new racism 2.0.
I truly believe that any human being, regardless of male or female can build a demigod body. Women should strive to become demigoddesses, and men should strive to become demigods.
For men — Achilles is the goal. Or Hercules.
For women — Athena, or Pallas Athene.
No supplements
No protein powder, no creatine, no pre-workout powder, no steroids, no testosterone, no synthol, etc.
All you need is beef. Don’t eat chicken. Chicken is not meat, and not beef.
Don’t eat fruits or vegetables. Fruit is just candy with a good conscience, and vegetables are just pretentious starch. I have never witnessed a vegan or vegetarian who looked like a demigod.
Insanely epic hypelifting
Rack pull, atlas lift, one rep max style:

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:
- 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?
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!
