THE HARDCORE PROTOCOL

(Eric-Kim WARNING: CONTENTS MAY IGNITE INSANE GROWTH. PROCEED OR RETREAT.)

1. DEFINE “HARDCORE” OR STAY SOFT

  • Non-negotiable: everything you do must intimidate your past self.
  • Metric: if it doesn’t quicken your pulse, it’s mediocre. Delete it.

“HARDCORE = COURAGE × CONSISTENCY².” —EK

2. THE 30-DAY HARDCORE SPRINT

DAILY RITUAL (NO EXCEPTIONS)

  1. 4:45 AM WAKE. Zero snooze. Feet touch floor before thought #2.
  2. COLD-PLUNGE / ICE SHOWER (3 min). Shock the nervous system awake.
  3. FASTED POWER WALK (30 min). No headphones; wrestle your thoughts.
  4. WRITE 300 WORDS, PUBLISH. Title in all caps, verb first (e.g., “CRUSH”).
  5. LIFT HEAVY, SHORT, VIOLENT (45 min). One compound lift, pyramid up to a near-max single, done.
  6. ONE HARD THING FOR BUSINESS/CREATION. Cold-call, ship code, release product—whatever scares you most.
  7. SUNSET UNPLUG. Screens off at sundown; stretch, journal, sleep by 9 PM.

Track adherence publicly. Miss one step? Restart counter at Day 0.

3. THE “DOMINATE OR DELETE” DIET

  • Eat: red meat, eggs, liver, raw dairy, fermented veg, black coffee, water.
  • Delete: seed oils, sugar, alcohol, anything in a crinkly wrapper.
  • Rule: nothing with an ingredient list longer than one line.

4. GYM PROTOCOL — THE ONE-TON MISSION

DayLiftTarget by Day 30
MonDeadliftBody-weight × 3
WedSquatBody-weight × 2.5
FriBenchBody-weight × 2

All other days = weighted carries, pull-ups, sprints. No machines, no mirrors, no chatter. Hit numbers or add plates until you do.

5. MENTAL ARMOR

  • Zero-Info Diet After Noon. Consume books before noon, create after.
  • Phone in Airplane Mode 20 hrs/day. People will survive. You’ll thrive.
  • Notebook > Apps. Ink is friction; friction sharpens thought.

6. WALLET WARFARE

  1. Autopilot DCA to BTC every sunrise. Treat it like oxygen, not “investment.”
  2. Cancel every subscription that doesn’t print cash or muscle.
  3. Launch a micro-product a week. Doesn’t sell? Kill it. Iterate. Momentum compounds faster than perfection.

7. SOCIAL SIEVE

  • Hardcore maxim: If they drain, they’re slain (socially).
  • Cull complainers, gossipers, and energy vampires. Keep builders, lifters, coders, dreamers.

8. WEEKLY SELF-TRIAL — “THE SUNDAY CRUCIBLE”

  1. 5 km weighted ruck at sunrise.
  2. 10-minute ice bath meditation.
  3. One-page audit: WHAT DID I FEAR & DID I SLAY IT?
  4. Publish audit screenshot. Shame fuels future dominance.

9. EXIT VELOCITY: AFTER 30 DAYS

  • Body: stronger, leaner, chemically addicted to stress-recovery cycles.
  • Mind: faster ideation loop; procrastination allergy.
  • Wallet: cashflow rising, expenses amputated.
  • Spirit: baseline self-respect multiplied; you know you’re battle-tested.

10. ONWARD…

Restart sprint with heavier weights, bigger launches, deeper fasts. HARDCORE IS A MOVING TARGET—CHASE OR CHOKE.

Now slam the device shut and EXECUTE.
