You wanna build some muscle?

FUCK OUT THE WAY.

They always ask 'how ya build muscles bro?'

But never

What is muscles bro?

Duhhh the things that stick out your arms BRO

Well.. sorta.

See muscle isn't just for show

It's a core part of you.

'Flexing your gains? So fuckin toxic'

That's what the media tell you:

"Don't go to the gym

Just drink your bananabullseedjuice

And limit protein to save your liver!!"

Fuck that.

If you're reading this as a mere mortal

And ya wanna get ahead of 99% of people

Muscle is your best friend.

And it's got nothing to do with having the big arms.

Let's DEBUNK this 'healthy' myth:

What they tell ya:

So I was lookin' round at 'health' info

And came across the NHS..

Bro the advice is shocking.

You gotta plough thru all this BS

Just to find something about building muscle.

And the worst bit?

The workout is TRASH.

Take a look at this 'exercise':

Now it doesn't take an expert to say this is some horse shit.

I don't often feel bad for people

But this is fuckin' disgusting.

Almost 70 million in the UK are fed this

And most'll believe this is how to build muscle.

Guess what happens when the towel curls don't work?

They go back to their shitty lifestyle

And put off exercise EVEN MORE.

Millions of guys sayin 'exercise just doesn't work for me'

Are obese cos of this.

This is what they call 'healthy' bro.

So here's watcha do instead:

🔘 Hypertrophy

Now the #1 goal to health isn't to build MAXIMUM muscle

But it's not far off.

Why?

Well I was lookin at some recent studies

and came across this one about muscle mass + longevity:

source: (Pereira et al., Low muscle mass and mortality risk later in life: A 10-year follow-up study)

That's your chance of living a long life more than HALVED.

And when we take into consideration gymgoers are likely to walk more, use Creatine etc

We can basically conclude:

Moar muscles = moar lifes.

So this means..

Toxic masculinity is the key to life?

Well..

No. But. Kinda.

I've trained for 9 years now

And every passing year learnt I need more muscle.

Here's everything I know so far:

But what I didn't share is this:

Healthy living ≠ muscle.

I know how it sounds

But it's true.

For most guys

You don't need Grass-fed Spirulina smoothies

You need muscle mass-

By any means.

This doesn't mean get super fat from fast foods

But you gotta stop tryna be healthy if you've got the muscle mass of a twig.

Take 1-2 years now

Stop worrying about your fat percentage

And devote yourself to packing on AS MUCH muscle as possible:

- It was the best thing I ever did.

Now: I have enough muscle that my old 'bulk' is my maintenance

And cutting tha fat is EASY

And that's where you'll be after a few years.

Your plan:

Here's a lil 1 year programme you can follow:

Month 1-3:

Month 3-6:

Month 6-12:

If any of this isn't making sense

Shoot me a reply or DM on Twitter:

The first months aren't so much WHAT you do

Just as long as you do.. do.

Lifting becomes a habit (ok maybe an obsession)

And that's when you're in the money.

Just remember:

Muscle first

'Health' stuff second.
