imagine not being double-cheeked up because you were too soft to participate in the density program...

couldn't be me.

If you don’t have access to a sauna, a hot bath works just as well with most of the same benefits we see from saunas.

Just get the water as hot as you can safely take & submerge yourself as much as you can.

Bonus points if using magnesium flakes

You’ll be sweating just as much

Still small as hell, but finished BowTiedOx | Chad Bodybuilder and Mikey Density program

Fantastic structure, and loved the split

Highly recommend giving it a try!

Just a friendly reminder that your back & knee pain is probably weak hamstrings & glutes because most guys neglect the backside of their body way too much.

Some people see long ingredient lists like this & freak out, however I see no issue with it as poison is in the dose.

Long ingredient lists with things you can’t pronounce are generally to be avoided, right?

Would you feed your family, especially young kids, any of these foods?

I saw Alan Aragon post this on IG & it’s one of (if not the best) descriptions of estimating body fat percentage I’ve seen.

If you’ve followed me long enough you know the mirror + reference points is my preferred method of estimating body fat vs paying for a DEXA

Why you look smaller after a week of no gym:

After a week you can lose 20% total glycogen, which also holds water (1g glycogen holds 3g water) so losing it makes muscles look smaller

After 1 workout it’ll all be back (often even look bigger because glycogen supercompensation)

I’ve said this 100 times & I’ll say it again.

There are 2 ways practically any man outside of dudes just genetically fcked can become attractive:

1. Build muscle, this is like makeup for men, you can get away with a lot more

2. Get lean (<12% bf), this brings out your jawline

I’m going to take all of my Twitter/X payouts & put them in a 100x leveraged DOGE position

After a certain point with back movements, grip is going to be your limiting factor & limit your back growth

You won’t be able to work the muscle to failure because grip will fail first

While we want to build grip, to limit the impact on back it's a good idea to use straps

This advice is pretty damn good.
I was lucky at a young age and had some people around me that gave me solid advice and I did what I was supposed to do… EXECUTE.

It’s honestly not complicated.

If you’re unsure about something, don’t be afraid to approach the “big guy” in the…

I’m a huge fan of Peter Attia pushing the importance of exercise as our most effective tool for health for as long as he has been

We all know it’s good for us but to see all the data on how it’s as powerful as it is for mental illness, longevity, & basically everything, is great
