The best bodybuilders sleep 12 hours a day. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be like one of those skinny fat <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/07\/28\/eric-kim-critique-of-silicon-valley-thinking\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"257818\">Silicon Valley<\/a> nerds who brag about how little they need to sleep. In fact, better to brag about how much you sleep, than how little. If anything, sleep is the new luxury. That is, only the privileged are able to sleep. Worker slaves must sleep little, because they must always be working and being productive for some boss or board. One of the greatest joys in my personal life is being able to live without an alarm clock: besides waking up for early flights, I have not used an alarm clock for nearly 10 years.<\/li><li>Consume more meat, more cholesterol, more saturated fat, more beef, more red meat: <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/03\/20\/cholesterol-meat-is-a-steroid\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"217480\">cholesterol is a steroid<\/a>. Why is it that apex predators only eat organ meats, and leave the lean meats for the scavengers to consume? Because liver, and organ meats have the highest nutrition, and also the highest amount of cholesterol. Even old-school bodybuilders used to consume lots of liver, in order to naturally boost their testosterone.<\/li><li>Do more menacing workouts: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered the best workouts are the ones that require the most supreme focus and concentration, in which you cannot be distracted or fuck around. For example, the amount of physical or mental focus required before attempting a <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/09\/16\/one-rep-max-2\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"329150\">one rep maximum<\/a> lift with <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/01\/23\/eric-kim-475-pound-sumo-deadlift-one-rep-max\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"298213\">deadlift<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/11\/03\/how-i-one-rep-max-squat-at-the-gym\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"284129\">squat. <\/a> Even with working out at home, I have a very heavy <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/26\/review-the-beast-48kg-105-pound-kettlebell\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"321339\">105 pound kettle bell<\/a>, and I do one armed cleans and squats with them, in in order to do so, I need to hype myself up. I cannot successfully perform the lift, if I do not concentrate, or if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m distracted. The biggest tip I have when working out is don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t use your phone, and also don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t listen to music.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we desire to own menacing cars? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For most people in modern news society, the easiest way to seem or to become more menacing is to own a menacing looking car, or to modify your car to look more menacing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, in order to make your car more menacing, it is easy: make it wider, lower to the ground, with more fins, side splitters, angled objects, spoilers, and angles to make it look more aggressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, make your car louder. The most menacing looking cars have big exhaust pipes, quad exhaust pipe sometimes, and have a really mean sounding growl to the engine and to the exhaust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
